The Skyrim/Elder Scrolls thread

They are fucking overrated lanky lizard people, fit for nothing other than a head display on my wall.

And beating an Army neither the Dunmeri self-made gods nor the Nordic Tongue/avatar of Shor gods can't.

Who, exactly, did the Argonians defeat that the Tribunal-led Dunmer didn't?

[Zanera]

After they got really jacked with the help of their tree overlords.

Suggesting the "I'm gonna put all of Morrowind under water for this" Dunmer and the "Let's summon the fucking avatar of Shor for this" Nords weren't jacked.

Idk, the Hist pumped em all fulla drugs. I don't know how the others got jacked.

There were Aedra-worshiping Ayleids but they got btfo by the Daedra-worshiping ones.

Yeah. But the Aedra-worshippers weren't relevant.

Definitely not, after they got btfo. I think they went to Argonia, so that's extra irrelevancy.
The humans deserved it anyway, so uncultured.

Side note about drawing: Zanera just keep at it anyway, doesnt matter if its only stick men, drawing is great and more people should do it regardless of their skill level or how they think their work looks.

When I draw I usually just make a red setting sun and just draw a bunch of purple, red, orange, yellow, violet wisps around it until the paper's filled.

Fair dues.

"During the course of the Alliance War, the region of Shadowfen was invaded in 2E 582 by the Aldmeri Dominion, which sought to sever the Argonians' connection to the Hist and thereby drive the entire race to extinction; this plot was foiled, and the allied Argonian tribes later reaffirmed their commitment to the Pact."
I bet the Altmer were fully in charge of that one. They don't know how to eradicate anything besides fairies and the dumbest beasts.

Fair dues.

You talkin about the Second Akaviri Invasion? Well, idk if the shellbacks got jacked or not, then.
And the Nords aren't known for their prowess against Akaviri invasions. Their god would probably exemplify that.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

The whole thing in Shadowfen was a punitive expedition headed by a rogue alchemist.

Ah. But the alchemist was an Altmer, right?

Oh.
But still, I think I mistook you for talking about the Oblivion Crisis. Every time someone's talking about an Akaviri invasion I get caught off guard because I hardly see anyone talking about it usually.

Makes perfect sense.

Am I the only one who's character is an Imperial and not any of the other races?

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

ESO Summerset is great so far. Fun quests, beautiful place, interesting new lore, and also some very nice and interesting bardic songs as well!

[Pilarcraft]

Ugh.
Yet another Fallout Game. I wonder if they're gonna introduce a new TES game too. Doubt it though

[Freezic Vast]

They are just milking Fallout at this point tbh and ignoring TES completely

[San Lumen]

I think are ignoring TES as well. Skyrim was so full of bugs it made me wonder if they just rushed it out to appease fans and are instead focusing on Fallout. They could be making new content still like what Rockstar is doing for GTA. They have entirely new game coming in the fall and have made no indication they intend to stop content for the other game.

Bethesta's lack of testing and seeming lack of caring for some of their franchises makes me almost not want to buy ES6 if it ever is made.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

Considering Skyrim and Fallout 4, I am very glad that it's just Zenimax Online Studios that's working with the Elder Scrolls at the moment - they're doing a very good job at it, both with gameplay and the lore.

[New Naephak]

Here's a thought: If Nirn is only 6000 years old, where does coal come from?
And since there's coal, is there oil? Can civilization in Tamriel even hit the Industrial Revolution?

You know, people always complain about them, but I can't recall running into any serious bugs in Skyrim. The odd place where the AI struggled with pathing, and the occasional loading screen freeze (though those could have been down to mods). The only thing I ran into with any frequency was a purely visual glitch where the effects of spells (and flames in the world and such) would stop appearing. For such a big game, Skyrim is pretty impressive.

Man Perfect Legionnaire Studded Armour reminds me of Morrowind,just too bad there no mod on SSE to fix it so you can temp it.

I have encountered bugs in almost every play through.

My favorite of late is the Great Lift Glitch. None of the Great Lifts that go directly to Blackreach function correctly, sending me into an infinite load-autosave loop. The only way I can actually get into Blackreach is either going through the relevant ruins or going down through Mzark.

I encountered my new favorite one just this last play-through. See, I was in Mortal and got attacked by a dragon. Fought it down to half health before it flew off into the distance. Never came back so I shrugged and went on my way. Fast traveled to a Nordic ruin and BAM there it is sitting right behind me. I turn around and am literally eye-to-eye with it. But it is a dragon so within five minutes I kill it. Done deal, right?

The glitch you may be wondering? Ever since then that same dragon corpse (which failed to turn to bone and I got no soul from) has been randomly falling out of the sky ever since. Sometimes after I fast travel, some times after I wait, or even just when I am walking around I will see it fall in the distance. I even started packing things in it (swords, armor, potions, et cetera) just to see if it was the same one falling. It is. I have had a randomly falling dragon pack mule corpse following me around for going on four months now.

That's actually pretty badass.

Oh i remember that glitch, saw it a few times on the 360

Well, it does have bugs, but the "lol buggy bethesda" meme needs to die at some point. I've played (almost) vanilla Skyrim since 2012 and only encountered once a lasting, problematic bug (the dragon falling from the sky) and it didn't even do nasty stuff like corrupting my saves and all. And on TW3 (da best RPG of all times, according to the internet) I've already encountered two game-breaking bugs in one single playthrough. Anecdotal evidence is irrelevant, I know, but Skyrim isn't that bug-ridden. It has bugs, yes, and Bethesda could solve them but doesn't because they're lazy, but Bethesda games are a far cry from what the meme makes them to be.
