Time to do something

Gentlemen, how do we make sure the next Elder Scrolls game isn't a super-casual gimicky minecraf ripoff it's likely going to be? We need to find a way to reach out to bethesda and make sure they don't fuck up the next one in the series, Skyrim wasn't BAD, but it was not good either, it was a very mediocre game (although still adictive) that lost way too much TES flavor.

First and foremost I believe that our that Bethesda should focus primarily on making the next TES game a true RPG. That is that they should be more concerned about providing a solid roleplay experience from the narrative and gameplay aspects, rather than trying to cover too much ground to catch wider audiences.

ç

the Brand is well known and people are awaiting the next game in the series, de-casualizing it now could not possibly turn the audience caught by Skyrim's success; people play these games to be immersed into a fantasy RPG with a solid identity, sure they want to build houses and customize their armors and play dress up, but having captivating stories being told all around the player, and seeing the consequences of your actions it what truly makes the game to be open-ended, and it's the very reason people are invested into the franchise.

TES is an RPG series with direct player action, and as such it should take pride on leading the industry in that regard, otherwise, it suffers an identity crisis.

Terrible followers thread

I've never bothered to check out what the huscarl for each respective hold looks like, but on my newest Skyrim character I've received a letter from the Jarl of Falkreath offering me the position of thane. Being the Hlaalu that I am, I thought it was a good opportunity for a free follower instead of shelling out for a mercenary or bringing the wrath of dragons upon my character in exchange for Lydia. I looked up who the huscarl for Falkreath was, and well…

It's a she-boon that dual-wields scimitars. As the huscarl of Falkreath, Skyrim's graveyard. What the fuck? Why? It makes no sense. Hopefully all the others aren't as shit.

Morrowind Races Overhaul

Hi, I've been working on and off on this and I am just looking for advice on my race replacment mod, right now I'm doing my preliminary sculpt for my Orc replacer, here is his head, the body is just the human one which is largely done but a few important things remain like animations before it would be ready to add to Morrowind, also it's built for Open MW exclusively since I want to take this all the way and I need features that don't exist in Morrowind to do this. Open MW doesn't support even the basics I need to get this to work within the engine, I'm not using .nif.

I aimed to get my orc face somewhere between Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim, my meshes will be higher poly than Skyrim and closer to Oblivion, they are anatomically correct to my own skills which are quite limited.

Humans, Argonians and Khajiit are varying amounts of complete.

The ears are still early.

Mostly what I want is some criticism of my Orc, I'm not worried about making it 100% lore consistent, but I want it to feel like it belongs within The Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind.

Also here's my Argonian with the Oblivion Argonian head for comparison.

Female Character RP

We're all men here, let's just get that out of the way.

When you RP a female character, do you do anything differently. Bethesda games seem to not like making the world treat you any different just because you've a vagina, and the side effect of that is that you have to imagine yourself anything that would be a "female issue" in the world. Because they are there. In the books. Just like the good, fleshed out characters.

What do you do differently, if anything? How is it different for you to RP as a female character, especially if its a non-human one?

Well, never joining the Volkihars again. At least with the Civil War, I was able to entertain the ideas of both sides when I played through them on different playthroughs, but here there's no grey area. Guess I should've seen that coming since they're vampires and all.

I was hoping that maybe they would be decent people and the Dawnguard might be a little intolerant towards them, but no, they're scum and the Dawnguard rightfully wants them exterminated.

Sure, the Volkihars make you lord of the castle, but honestly, not being the leader of the Dawnguard after their questline was a nice break from being the leader of every guild and the Thane of every hold. It's the reason why shit like the Archmage Tolfdir mod exists and is so damn popular.

Maybe I'm a minority in this, but the idea of being a vampire hunter always appealed to me more than being a vampire, reason I love shit like Castlevania, Blade, Boktai(Kudos to anyone who played it), and the Witcher(Monster slayer in general, but vampires are included).

House Sadras

So if you didn't know, apparently after House Hlaalu got permabanned, another house took its place; House Sadras.

Literally the only lore about them is a couple lines of dialouge from Dragonborn. They have no identity beyond that.

If you were a writer for Bethesda, who would you make the Sadras be? What are their customs? How do they fit in with the Argonian Invasion? What do they believe?

I'm curious to see what you guys can come up with.

Hey guys. Since the board has been dead lately I decided to get off my ass and make a post for you n'wahs.

Since their is little lore about Akavir, I came up with a little hypothetical. Say you're a writer for Bethesda in charge of writing lore about Akavir. What would you do with it?

Are the Tsaesci a serpentine, beastial race or a breed of men? How do the (at least) four races interact with one another? Are their more races here? How do they view the Aedra and Daedra, if at all? How do they perceive the Tamrielic peoples? How are their cultures in general? How does the Nerevarine fit into all of this?

I'm curious to see your guys' thoughts.

Mages Guild

Can somebody explained to me what happened in the mages guild quest-line in oblivion? In my first couple play throughs of it I never thought too much of what was going on, but after after my latest run I was thinking about what was going on and I just got really confused by this quest-line. Why was the mages guild so afraid of Mannimarco? How did he get such a large following of unquestioningly loyal necromancers? What was the purpose of the colossal soul gem as originally intended? How would it have allowed him to destroy the mages guild? Why did he even want to destroy the mages guild? Maybe I just didn't pay enough attention but I never really noticed any answers for these.

How could werewolves have been made better in Skyrim?

I've never really liked vampires, being the scum-sucking parasitic slaves to Molag that they are, but I am rather partial to werewolves. I'm rather surprised that there wasn't more to do with them in Skyrim seeing as Hircine is lord of the hunt; I would have expected there to be a sizable cult of his somewhere in the province, given the Nords' fondness for hunting. Instead, he was relegated to the confines of a single (admittedly pretty awesome) quest in Falkreath and a name-drop in the abysmal storyline of the Companions. Even if one were to just look at the mechanical aspects of lycanthropy in the game, it's rather underwhelming even with the ring of Hircine and the perks introduced with Dragonborn. Why couldn't there have been patrols of the Silver Hand that hunted you down if you were known to the realm as a werewolf? Why is the only negative that you don't get an experience bonus when sleeping, a relatively pointless exercise in Skyrim? Can Todd be blamed for all of this?

Pics related; I was feeling like a bit of an artsy fartsy poofter upon realising that there was actually a blood moon inside Bloated Man's Grotto.

Elder Scrolls 6

I read just now that Elder Scrolls 6 may not arrive until 2019, 20 fucking 19.

As of now I think Skyrim is more fun than Fallout 4. Maybe its just me, but I'm not sure that Minecraft mixes with Bethesda: the building and settlement shit with the purely busy work quests feel tacked on. Not sure how to interpret it: pandering to the survival/building clique?

Daedra

In the end, we really know nothing about the Daedra.

Consider Faydra Shardai. Not a member of Clan Dremora, but the leader of her own clan of Fire Daedra, Clan Shardai. In service to Mehrunes Dagon, and equal in power to the greatest of his Valkynaz, but not truly a member of them. Incredibly powerful, to the point of being completely indestructible for an Apprentice not armed with the power her name, and capable of reducing him to essence and making him into a new breed of Daedra should he choose to do so.

Then there's the Kyn, known to the Dremora by most mortals. Clearly, the vast majority of summons are from Clan Dremora, to the point that one clan has become synonymous with the entire race. But what has made them so common? Is this by the will of Mehrunes Dagon? Does he actively attempt to allow his servants to pass into Mundus for the purposes of destruction? Or is this merely a result of his comparative lack of guile, with the other Princes more jealously guarding the secrets of their elite soldiers?

And the Seducers: Servants to multiple princes, known by most to be treacherous. Some have wings, some don't. The title Dark Seducer seems to differ in meaning: is it one of rank, or is it a title?

And lets not even get started on the question of the Demiprinces.

The truth is, we know virtually nothing about Oblivion, and its politics. While we are fairly certain that there are exactly sixteen (seventeen) Daedric Princes, with the presence of creatures such as the Ideal Masters, how many completely alien entities of power might reside within the waters of Oblivion?

What are your thoughts?

Vampires and sunlight

Why do TES vampires get hurt by sunlight? Yes, I know, it's obvious, that's what they do. But it's actually magnus, aetherius, which is the sun.

So what was Harkon's endgame, getting rid of the sun would get rid of the hole left behind by magnus. Could the Elder Scrolls influence the structure of the Aurbis? They're connected with Molag Bal, but other than that, it doesn't really make sense.

R: 94 / I: 22 / P: 3
OK, Skyrim gets a lot of hate here but I think its overstated.

Skyrim's story is way better than the previous two ES games. Let me explain why. Instead of focusing on anomalous catastrophes that just happen to happen and which are loosely related to the lore of the home race, with Skyrim we have both the lore crisis (Dragons) but more importantly we also have a progressive storyline that unites the ES universe (the Civil war) and both are interrelated to each other.

The civil war works so well because now past and present work together, whereas in previous games the only thing that mattered was stopping Dagoth Ur, bam, the end. Now the franchise actually has a comprehensive future to look forward to.

Another thing that took real guts by Bethesda was to depict the Stormcloaks as legitimate. If this was a typically Thalmor dominated game, then Stormcloaks would have been morally derided as racism/sexism/xenophobia/Thalmorsm/the confederacy slave states, etc all the usual liberal garbage. Now this perspective that doesn't want empire and doesn't subscribe to some fraudulently abstract 'equality' is now allowed to be an alternative way of thinking. Equally important is the evenhanded treatment the Thalmor/Altmer receive. The game's agnosticism with regards to the alternative's is a huge plus. If its any indication of the future, then we won't have such a clear-cut conclusion to the civil war.

I for one hope Bethesda doubles down on the political aspect of the game, especially with the greater parameters afforded by the new generation of console hardware.

What do you think? What are some possibilities for the future of the war?

What's that one questline or objective you don't mind repeating? That one story or adventure you can go through multiple times without getting sick of?

The one for me has to be the College of Winterhold's questline in Skyrim. Even with all its flaws, I think the College was done really well and the story itself involving the Eye of Magnus, Ancano and Bromjunaar has a surprising depth to it, raising questions about the Thalmor, Savon Aren's life, what the Eye actually is, the abilities of Magnus, the appearance of magical anomalies and the implications of them, etc. I appreciated the nod to the metaphysics of the Elder Scrolls universe.

Function of Magic

So how do spells really work?

The book Silence, and the function of that spell, imply that you need a verbal component for spells to function. Morrowind and the older games had a motion required to cast a spell, implying that the somatic is required. Morrowind even had casting times. But then you have Skyrim, which has casting times and motions for only a few. And you never hear anyone saying anything when casting spells.

So how do you cast spells, really?

Pre Skyim Spouses

As per the title, we speculate which characters would have been marriage candidates if it had been implemented in the earlier games.

I'll start with an obvious one - Maeva the Buxom. For those of you that didn't play Oblivion hue or don't remember she was the farm owner outside Anvil that gives you the quest to go kill her estranged husband and bring back her family heirloom (a unique mace called Rockshatter). After completing the quest she often makes comments hinting that she wants to jump your character - "looks like I'm available again".

I would probably have picked her to be my spouse in Oblivion, she's a Nord, she was one of the less horrendous looking NPCs in the game and I always wanted to my character to live in one of the oblivion farm-houses.

Taking all distinctions between races away besides +50 Magicka for Altmer, minor skill differences and race-specific abilities. Having all characters begin with 100 Health, 100 Stamina, 100/150 Magicka and 15 to 25 in every skill made differences between the races negligible. You could play an Altmer barbarian just as easily as a Nord barbarian.

Greatest Hero of Tamriel

We've had a number of customizable protagonists in the Elder Scrolls series. Discounting the mobile games for a moment, we have:

Six heroes, each with their own accomplished feats, unique sets of skills, differing spells, and magical potential. But who is really the most powerful?

More appropriately, who is :

> The most magically powerful?

> The most physically powerful?

> The most power at the start of their adventure?

> The most power at the end of their adventure?

> The most likely to win in a fight?

> The most likely to win in a massive free-for-all?

Malborn the Immortal

So in the Thalmor Embassy, I just left via the cave once I got the dossiers without staying or knowing anything about Malborn's fate.

I go to WIDeadBodyCleanupCell to find him here, just staring at me beside the pile of bodies like "Hey, what's up?".

Apparently the game just auto-resolved that he died since I didn't stay around to see, and booted him to the cleanup cell without him actually getting it. So, essentially, he survived his own death and in all of my other playthroughs he was just condemned to stand there or wander a bit doing nothing while guarding a few empty coffins and a pile of bodies forever.

Autism

You have 10 seconds to explain why Oblivion and Skyrim didn't have Mount & Blade-tier horse combat, as well as realistic melee combat in general

Why is cavalry so largely absent in TES? Where are schiltrons/phalanxes/pike squares? Why don't NPCs fight in formations like testudos/shield walls/phalanxes? Why are the "longbows" in Skyrim not high powered English warbows that loose bodkins?

Are Bethesda completely ignorant of pre-gunpowder combats?

Morrowind Mods

I'm a guy who's always been interested in the lore of TES and played Oblivion and Skyrim to a degree, and also a little of the two first games. I found them to be lacking, and people often say I should give Morrowind a chance.

I did, but while fun I found it lacking in a few aspects… aspects that probably could be fixed with mods.

So let me start by saying that i'm a newfetcher in TES, i just started playing Skyrim a couple of months ago and i'm enjoying it quite thouroughly, i've also been pokin around the games' lore and been lurking here for a month now, and one thing that stands out is that most people here like to suck morrowind's dick pretty hard, why is the game the "pinnacle of human achievement", and what would compell me to play it.

Keep in mind that the whole lore of TES is right up my alley, with all the wars, the creation of the universe, and everything else.

The Elder Scrolls VI

All right, since most fetchers here are bitching about the decisions Bethesda has made in TES games, this thread is for how YOU would create the next elder scrolls game, if you had the power.

Assume you have all the resources Bethesda Game Studios has, so you can't go too overboard with the costs, and also the game has to be finished in at least 8 years.

Changes/additions to existing lore?

Quests?

Voice acting?

Gameplay, combat, magic?

HUD elements, menus?

Main story, location, dialogue choices etc…

What parts of morrowind are part of argonia now and which are still under control of the dunmer?

Bloodmoon when?

Ok guys, I need to know something.

Every era, Hircine has this little hunting orgy he calls the Bloodmoon. Sort of how Jyggalag would initiate the Greymarch cycle every era. What happens changes throughout each Bloodmoon, but it's usually his cultists/hounds hunting powerful mortals. In Morrowind, there is an entire DLC dedicated to it. That was the Bloodmoon occurring for the Third Era.

Did a Bloodmoon already occur in the Fourth Era yet? Specifically in Skyrim?

In Hircine's quest, the hunter you meet as you enter the hunting grounds, says; "Has the Bloodmoon called you, hunter?" To add, the sky is also a crimson red in the grotto.

If this really was the Bloodmoon for the third era, why was it so anti-climactic? Why would Hircine waste his millennia of entertainment on watching a bunch of mercenary's hunt a stray werewolf? Why is it, like everything else in Skyrim, so under whelming?

Also, why is the reward a cuirass that has useless enchantments and low armor rating?

It should've been a series of quests instead of one lame one.

Some of the translations seem very questionable to my non-expert knowledge: Followers saying something is "impossible (for me to do)" is ありえない (pic related I guess), which I've only ever seen in the "this can't be really happening" and "you're impossible" sense (though maybe it can be).

Why are Nexus mod authors such fucking s'wits?

I mean, I know it can get unnerving when their piece of shit mod doesn't work, and people are constantly complaining because they're a useless fuckwit.

But seriously? Responding to people and telling them after they recited the fucking mod page to READ THE MOD PAGE? Then whenever you inform these pompous jackoffs that their mod is fucking things up in the vanilla game, they respond with "it's not my mod! this works fine in my game, hurf durf I'm so retarded!" Yeah s'wit? Well I just unchecked all mods and started Skyrim 200 fucking times, and YOUR mod causes the problem.

Oh, it's not only that. Take Arthmoor for example. That jerkoff has grown such swollen balls from fixing people's problems INVOLVING PAPYRUS ERRORS, that he demands if people report papyrus errors on his mod, he reserves the right to ignore, remove or report. Yet when people ask things, he just responds with quick one liners, basically shifting the blame and telling people to fuck off and leave him alone, in as toned down words as he can manage on that Thalmor moderated site.

Granted, it must be frustrating when Dark0ne's dipshit mod team keep banning the good mod authors who didn't come out with sexual fucking anything, and then circumvent the bad mod authors that never updated their popular mod and now everybody's computer is blowing up. Yes, the Nexus mods are fa­ggots! (Especially Buddha, fuck that guy. I hope someone comes along and rapes him with a barbed wire stick) I know, I know.

Gods/Aedra outside the nine divine

A bit new to this lorefag thing but I was thinking about what other living Gods/Aedra there may be outside the nine divine, such as gods who appear in other pantheons but don't appear to be just the same gods with different names (Trinimac being an example) and don't seem to be just folklore either. My current interpretation is that while the Nine are the most powerful of the living Aedra who were trapped in Mundus, there are some less powerful Aedra who lived on Nirn and made it into several pantheons (This seems to be the case with many Altmer gods) before dying or could still be alive somewhere on Nirn. Some questions about the Nine vs. possible other Aedra (Not Daedra like in the Dunmer pantheon) that I'd like this board's opinion on are:

>Akatosh vs. Auriel

Most people say that they are just two names for the same god but I found it interesting that in the Cyrodil creation myth the Aldmer were led by Auriel in a war against the races of man and beast, who were in turn led by Akatosh. It would make sense, them being both born from Anuiel due to the middle dawn, but still being separate. So are they the same god or different?

>Arkay vs. Orkey

They have similar names and reperesent similar things but seem to be different gods to me. So are they the same, different, or is Orkey just a Nordic folktale?

>Lorkhan vs. Shor

These are obviously the same god but I was wondering if Shor was actually an aspect (Shezzarrine perhaps?) of Lorkhan that was forced to wander Nirn after his heart was ripped out and possibly aided Akatosh in a war with Auriel, thoughts?

>The year is is 4E 205

>After doing whatever the hell he was doing over in Akavir, the Nerevarine finally returns home

>Vivec died somewhere along their travels but the Nerevarine is practically immortal because he still has corprus albeit without the negative effects.

>The Nerevarine discovers that Morrowind got destroyed due to the meteor crashing into Vvardenfell and the Red Mountain erupting which was how the events of the Red Year commenced.

>Not long before the Red Year, the Nerevarine had destroyed the Heart of Lorkhan which caused the Tribunal to slowly lose their divine powers.

>The meteor crash happened because Vivec no longer had the divine power necessary to keep the meteor, which used to be the Ministry of Truth, afloat.

>The Nerevarine realizes that his actions with which he meant to save Morrowind were ultimately responsible for it's utter destruction.

>The Nerevarine becomes insane when faced with this cruel truth.

>When he also realizes that the Argonians took this as an opportunity to mass murder the Dunmer, the Nerevarine becomes enraged.

>The Nerevarine goes on a killing spree among the Argonians to avenge this and also gains followers among the Dunmer.

>The Nerevarine ends up having a huge cult-following which travels across the lands, murdering anyone who has wronged the Dunmer.

Now you have to realize that the Nerevarine is not only an amazing fighter because he had to kill Dagoth Ur and Almalexia at some point, but he also has a lot of artefacts on him like Hopesfire, Trueflame, Kagrenac's Tools etc.

He also had many lifetimes of training because he is practically immortal.

Sload: What the fuck are these things, seriously? No myths speak of them, and they certainly can't be dismissed as animals and lesser souls, but they continue to plague the existence of every non-disgusting species simply by virtue of polluting the air with their syphilitic lungs.

It seems to be time related. In my most recent memory it is used by the dragonborn to project himself into the past. It was used by the Grey Fox to remove Nocturnals cowl, so it has some power over daedra? I don't remember what it was used for in Dawnguard but that it was involved.

So, the Skyrim Witcher Experience mod is a horrible piece of shit. The only saving graces are the Drowners and armors. The custom Geralt race doesn't allow selection of facial hair or other hairs included with the mod. Most of the included hairs leave the back of your head bald, because it's meant to work on the Geralt custom race. The Yennefer armor mod creator forgot to put textures on the fucking gloves. All this aside, how good are you at character creation? This is my take on Geralt, Yennefer, then Ciri. Yenn needs more work.

Religion in TES

How does one decide on the religious affiliation of a character?

Is the pantheon so tight knit that you can just follow all the nine divines at once? But is there one that you would worship above others as a sort of patron god?

Does it go by class? For example, Fighters - Talos, Mages - Julianos, Theives - Noctournal. How about by race? Dunmer and Khajiit revere Azura the most above all.

How about Daedric princes? Does being a werewolf necessarily mean you follow Hircine? Same goes for vampires and Molag Baal.

How would one's religious views effect their choices if you're RPing a character? Feel free to share any experiences in this thread.

>You can build setalments. You can build buildings and customize them, decorate them and put stuff in them. You build protective shit, like gun turrets, to protect your setalments from raiders. NPCs will come live in your setalments.

>Almost everything in the game can be used as material to build stuff with

>You can build somewhat complex stuff, like light panels that can be used to spell words or make pictures

The calm down it'll be fine

>They haven't really said anything, so this just speculation, but based off what we've seen there will be no skills. Although, based off of other stuff we've seen, it seams as though skills will be replaced by rankable perks. There will probably be 13 skill perks.

The ok that makes me a little nervous

>console mods for the XBone, and maybe the PS4. You'll be able to transfer them over from PC. Obviously they'll be watered down because of hardware limitations. So, probably no high res textures, no models with over X number of polygons and no scripts. They'll probably end up censoring console mods too, so probably nothing from loverslab. Still, it'll be cool for console players to have. Hopefully it won't affect the modding community in a negative way. Hopefully PC modding will be unaffected by this.

The ok that makes me a little less nervous

>it looks like they're not going to try paid mods again.

TESVI

So, elder scrolls VI may take place in… Argonia, Elsweyr, Valenwood, or Summerset isles?

Argonia should take place in the cancelled game "Eye of argonia" events, but due that in black marsh only an argonian would survive in black marsh due to the hazardous environment in the depths of black marsh, it's likely that black marsh will never be fully accessible.

By far, Summerset Isles would be really, Really, REALLY important for the elder scrolls saga, and some fans want it to be the starting region in the next game.

Im not sure if elsweyr or valenwood would be important right now.

Now, I swear elsewhere I read that the Dragonborn was someone with Akatosh's blood. And iirc Akatosh is the celestial dragon anyhow, right? Or deity of dragons?

So did Kynareth give away another god's blood/power to mortals?

Or is Akatosh subordinate to Kynareth?

Or is shouting completely unrelated to Akatosh and just something dragons were innately good at?

Problem with the creation myth?

According to the myth, all of reality is created

from the interplay of Anu and Padomay. Consensus seems to be that neither are actual beings but metaphors for the laws that govern all things; Stasis and Change respectively. If this is true, then the myth cannot explain why anything exists at all since stasis and change presuppose the existence of something(s) that can endure or change. What is the cause of the being of things that endure and change?

Which Tamriel race could represent Slavic people? Searching some information online, I see that people mostly consider Nords as having some slavic elements, but others also include orks, although I see orks more as mongol - central asian barbarians.

Colovian culture has interesting Pseudo-Slavic elements, like personal names (Rislav Larich is typical example) and even city names (Skingrad).

Other question is, considering I'm slavic, 6'4'' tall, muscular, light brown hair and pale, which tamriel race could I fit the best? I always go for nords but I don't see myself as typical viking type.

Masser and Secunda: Reading way too far into things

Right so I was particularly bored today and I decided to do a little star gazing. I noticed that Masser is actually quite large especially compared to moons in our own solar system

yeah I know you can't compare inb4 muh magic this is just for fun

So assuming that Masser is the same distance from nirn as the moon is from the earth it would have an apparent visual diameter of 3 earth moons without calculating Apparent magnitude which I simply do not have the time to do.

The diameter of our earths moon is 2159.2 miles across which would put Masser at a whopping 6477.6 miles in diameter. For comparison it diameter is far larger than mars and a little less than Venuses.

Due to the size of Masser it would be a fair assumption that it has a molten core and assuming its composition is roughly that of Mars (visually they are strikingly similar) we're looking at a gravitational pull roughly equivalent to the Earth.

Another detail is that it has a thin atmosphere which means it must have a magnetosphere to avoid having it stripped by solar winds.

look I know that Mundus doesn't follow our universes astronomical rules just play along

Now this brings up a problem. Nirn must be a very large planet to not be torn apart by tidal forces from Masser but gravity on Nirn appears to be the same as earth. This is one of the few times where we can just pass it off as magic since there's absolutely no way it would work.

Secunda is an absolute enigma to me. It appears to be about twice the size of earths moon but its far brighter than Masser so its apparent magnitude is likely larger than the object itself, sort of like how the moon can appear to be very large in the sky because of all the light it reflects off its surface.

Now the basic equation for Apparent magnitude is

mx-mx,0= -2.5 log n10 (fx/fx,0)

Since Magnus appears to be the same distance as the sun we can say its apparent magnitude is -26.74 and using that as a reference we can see that Secundas surface is very reflective and its apparent magnitude is -14.24 which is brighter than the earths moon. With this in mind we can estimate that Secunda is around 880 miles across, far smaller than earths moon. I have no choice but to assume that Secunda is that size since it would have to be orbiting a fair distance away from Masser to avoid a collision.

The problem with Secundas size is that it should be ripped apart by Nirns tidal forces essentially turning it into a ring system but it would appear to not be orbiting Nirn.

I think that Secunda in fact orbits masser rather than nirn which would help to answer a couple of the issues presented.

So I'm starting to think that Masser is in fact not quite a moon but that Masser and Nirn are a binary system of two planets just like pluto/charon.

This would answer all of the nagging issues presented by their size and mass.

Well i'm done sperging out have fun with this information.

So I'm a pretty big slowfag, just finished Oblivion for the first time tonight and I have some questions regarding the Mythic Dawn and Mehrunes Dagon in general.

To start off, how on level was Mankar and his cult here? He was spitting some heavy truths regarding the nature of the Nine and how Cyrodil, and the rest of the world, was Mehrunes Dagons rightful land, but considering this could just be some slander Dagoth fed him when he was drinking da Koolaid when wandering one too many days in the sun I wouldn't be too surprised, especially since he labeled the fucking domains of the Daedra wrong in his little speech.
Though what doesn't seem to be contradicted too badly is the whole thing regarding Lorkhan, how he was the one who did all the work constructing the worlds and the 8 cast him down but couldn't remove him completely. The story that's being spun is so wild with the whole 'Imperial Clergy has been spinning lies from the start' make it hard to discredit but again his source of information is the god of destruction and revolution\change, so it wobbles on whether that's on the level or not. But still, that keeps it from being rightfully Dagons and still belonging to Lorkhan, or whatever left of him

And another thing that bugged me is how this fucker can wear the Amulet of Kings, is there an in depth reason for this that I missed because no one comments on it which is kind of a big deal. Is it just that in his pocket dimension he can fuck the charms or whatever that keep anyone but those of Septim blood to wear it, or did a Septim really dip their dick in an elf somewhere along the line?

Apologies if this has been covered to death before, but I didn't see too much similar in the catalog and I only found out about this board today when someone was shilling it on /v/ and thought I'd stop by.

Imageboard "lore guides"

I can count 15 or so screencaps that vividly describe places, peoples and various other topics from The Elder Scrolls. I'm wondering if there's any interest towards compiling new or updating known pictures/screencaps in a way that'll help /v/irgings and other interested people learning lore basics.

It wouldn't be only for them, either. Painting a picture of a province or a war through a short text instead of fifteen disjointed UESP pages is something even we could appreciate.

On the downsite, this could potentially kill discussion.

Pic related. I typed this back on Aldmeris (I think), and found a screencap floating around later. On rereading it, I realize I got some stuff wrong and more details could be added. I still have the original text, so it could easily be edited instead of typed out again. Throwing this out just in case there's interest. Can't kickstart the thread without offering something.

Anyway, my first question is should we? And the second one is, is there any interest in doing so?

Second is that even though I've built shrine of Boethiah and ended Dagoth Ur, distant land loads them as if they didn't happen. I haven't tested this one, but it may be just that save is older than MGE XE.

But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the nord race, Imperials and respectable nobles agree that I am a barbarianwhowantstokillsixmillionmer. They say they are anti-Stormcloak. What they are is anti-nord. Anti-Stormcloak is a code word for anti-Nord

This s'wit pisses me off.

So you're playing a Dunmer, and you enter Windhelm for the first time. Rolff Stone-Fist constantly gets drunk and angry and insults the Dunmer and accuses them of being spies. You can talk to him, listen to his insults, and then click [Brawl] to kick his ass for dissing your Dunmer brethren.

But let's say you're playing a true Nord. You walk into Windhelm, and join the Stormcloaks because you realize that Ulfric is the hero that Skyrim needs and the most based individual in all of Tamriel. Besides you of course, because you're a Shezzarine and are better at Thu'um than him.

Then you walk up to this s'wit, and he asks you if you're one of those "Skyrim for the Nords" types. Well of course you are. You're trying to save Skyrim from Elven tyranny and you're fighting for freedom. So you tell him Skyrim belongs to the Nords.

And what does he do? He gets mad at you for supporting the man who would allow you to worship the god of your fathers, who would stand up for your people against foreign invaders. He calls you a milk-drinker every time you run into him.

"What do you want, Milk-Drinker?"

"What do you want, Milk-Drinker?"

"What do you want, Milk-Drinker?"

"What do you want, Milk-Drinker?"

So this self-hating, loathsome, pitiful social justice warrior Nord insults YOU, the Dragonborn, the champion of the Stormcloak army. And you can't do anything about it! You can't kill him, because he's essential because if you sided with the Legion they would put this douchebag in charge of Eastmarch after murdering Ulfric.

But you don't even have a brawl option. You don't have the option, as a mighty hero and true Nord warrior, to kick the ass of this loathsome, cowardly old man for insulting you while you have been risking your life for HIS freedom.

Why is this? Why can't you kick this fetcher's ass?

Shaman RP

What are some spells and mods for a shaman character? Quest ideas are appreciated too.
I found some role play guides and I'm already borrowing ideas from it. I did a search on nexus too and didn't find anything specific.

Some different guides:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S8EIVA-KE8

Some spells I'm using are the influence spells, mind altering, that sort of stuff seems to fit well. Healing spells as well since shamans are known for healing and restoring life. I'm trying to limit what I see to soul gems so I don't get rich too quick. I can't find and hex/curse type spells so I need help with that. I don't want to use weapons so I'm getting fucked over when I can't influence the enemy, I definitely need a way to kill enemies.
Main skills are illusion, alteration, restoration, sneak, light armour > spell armour, blocking(staves mod).

That's my basic outline, I just need a shaman-y way to kill at low levels. Since I'm not using weapons, alchemy is off the table(too OP anyway and I just finished a bow wielder with lots of poisons).

Amaranth Natural Selection

So I was bored today and I decided to read up on amaranth.
And one thing that popped into my mind while reading one post on it.
It mention that in some amaranths the rules of the Godhead would prevent further amaranths, making it a kind of dead-end amaranth.

I immediately thought of Lee Smolin's crazy Black Hole theory.

So could the same reasoning work on amaranths?
Like, Basically I'm asking if you'd be more likely to exist in a world where it's possible to amaranth than one where it isn't, because there would be more of the former than the latter.
So would all universes naturally converge to one where the amount of people amaranthing is maximized?

Am I the only one here who is actually sad that our character. The champion of Cyrodiil becomes sheogorath goes insane?

I felt fucking fells everywhere when I found this out. People on YouTube can be "Hes awesoome becuz he so lol randum XD" but for me, It feels very sad and the personality that we created for them was destroyed because of their own sphere. If anything, he feels like a shadow of his former self.

First time Skyrim

Hi there, I'm getting Skyrim soon, any recommendations for my first playthrough?
The game seems to be quite mod heavy, is there any comprehensive modding guide out there, thats somewhat up-to-date?
Also, Imperium or Stormcloaks on first playthrough?

The Nerevarine

The Nerevarine was sent to Morrowind and released by Imperial order. What led them to suspect the player character in particular? Did they get information from Seif-ij Hidja, who claims in the book The Doors of Oblivion that his master was told of the Nerevarine by Azura?

Whatcha Whatcha Whatcha Want (Whatcha Want)

Next TES game, what do you want?

I want Elswyr and a bordering province with a massive war between the two that you have to work around>

I'd also like frontier forts/towns being taken to and fro from side to side.

I'd like a more robust class system, probably a more polished Oblivion class system.
