Oh boy, soooo much of my inventory is usually potions. Especially in Morrowind. Fortify Speed is a good one, and Water Walking is so nice to avoid those pesky slaughterfish. Hate those guys. Cliff Racers of the sea, really.

It was mainly health potions for me. I had little time for any of the others and never really bothered with them. Probably should have, however.

Oh, and Cure Common Disease and Cure Blight Disease. They were must-haves.

I was always mildly interested in whether the "large" and "small" slaughterfish were different species, different genders or juvenile and adult slaughterfish.


I always figured it was juvenile/adult, but I'd never thought of male/female.

I think because they both produce the same alchemic ingredient they're the same species. But who knows. All I know is that they annoy me to no end.

Hopefully, if they make an Elder Scrolls VI, the Thalmor finally enact their plan to unravel time. Wherever that happens, it's bound to be interesting.

If the Stormcloacks won and tried to invade Summerset they would be slaughtered. I was walking around in the wild, 3 Thalmor encountered 3 Stormcloack. Stormcloacks were all slaughtered in the fight.

I think after the game The Empire will win the war and hold Skyrim, Ulfric will be executed. I also think the Emperor will be killed by the Dark Brotherhood. In the meantime the Thalmor will attempt and invasion of the Black Marsh which will prompt a An-Xileel-Thalmor War. Elsweyer will begin a small resistance movement but the Redgaurd will have another conflict with the Thalmor attempting to invade.

Ooh I really don't know. I suppose it will be in the south of Tamriel, as those are the only places left, though I doubt it will be on the Summerset Isles. It sounds far too mysterious a place to me... I suppose if it is in Valenwood or Summerset (or Elsweyr to a certain extent), then one would likely find some sort of resistance movement to the Aldmeri Dominion at some point, but I really can't say how much of an impact it will have on the game/Tamriel. I have no idea what will happen now really, ever since they dropped the 'it's been 200 years since Oblivion and the empire is split in two and Talos is banned even though he founded the empire' bomb on me in Skyrim, I don't know what to expect.

Combat is one of my least favorite parts of the series (always has been, to be honest). Those are more catered for combat, which, as I mentioned before, isn't so appealing to me. I like trying to talk my way out of trouble, and I'm not one to shy away from running away.

I've a tendency to get myself into trouble, attempt to smack it about with a sword, axe or whatever and then run away screaming.

Also, carrying enough health potions that most enemies could probably here me rattling from miles away.

It's why I liked the amulets that would teleport you to temples or chapels in Morrowind. A bit more dignified than running away with my tail firmly tucked between my legs.

Literally, if I was playing as Khajiit.

I usually rely on restoration magic, I like to build swordsmen with a strong restoration skill so I can use magic to heal and carry more loot.

I feel like they're definitely setting Elder Scrolls VI up to be the ultimate battle between the Aldmeri Dominion and the shreds of the Empire, unless they decide to keep that action behind the scenes and between games like they did with Red Mountain and the Great War. My preferred setting for it would probably be Elsweyr, simply because I'm afraid they'd really mess with the lore if they set it in Valenwood or the Summerset Isles. The charm of Altmer and Bosmer is that they aren't supposed to be Tolkein-esque, but from all the promotional materials for TESO, Beth seems to be turning them into Generic Fantasy Mystical Elves.

On the other hand, setting the next game in a lore-friendly Valenwood full of dense jungles, bloodthirsty mythical beasts, and parts of lore we've never actually seen (Imga, Wild Hunt, etc) with the Bosmer themselves being as brutal and badass as they always should've been... well, that would definitely capture the alien wonder that Morrowind did so well.

If Beth does plan on doing Elsweyr, I think they should take a lesson from the Moon Path to Elsweyr mod. That would be badass.

How about Levitation, Open Lock, custom magic, and a gazillion other things they took away from magic thus making it almost worthless.

From what I can piece together after completing the game: The Emperor was murdered by the Dark Brotherhood, Skyrim wants to win independence, the Empire is ready for another war with the Thalmor, the Thalmor are preparing for another war with the Empire, and Hammerfell is already beginning a resistance movement against the Thalmor occupation. From the evidence provided I believe that the Thalmor will attack the Empire starting another war. At first the war will go badly for the Empire because the Emperor is dead and they will have to establish their leadership. At that same time, Hammerfell will erupt in open rebellion against the Thalmor and strike an alliance with the Empire to help defeat them. Skyrim, now almost empty of Imperial soldiers due to the war with the Thalmor, will grab it's independence. Then, after striking an agreement with the Empire, the kingdoms of the Empire, Hammerfell, and Skyrim will descend with a furry like no other on the Summer Isles and destroy the Thalmor once and for all. The Nords, Red guards, and Imperials will all live in happiness and the Dunmer will continue to get screwed over by everyone they encounter. The end.

The reason they don't do that is because than no major retail chain will carry their games if they do.

The Dark Brotherhood thing goes more than one way, you can instead eliminate the Dark Brotherhood and that saves the Emperor's life.
