Re: Welcomes and Goodbyes

I can't even begin to describe how much it warms me to see all the old UESPers floating back around! I spoke to Weka, as well, and she has yet to even pick the game up. No word from Deandra, though.

Re: Stormcloaks or Legion - which do you prefer?

Have you lot forgotten who STARTED the Empire? Nords. Proud, strong, sword-swinging Nords, Nords who didn't need no stinking Nibenean poofters to carve a bloody thwath through masses of soft elf-flesh. Talos himself was a Nord, by Talos!

The Empire is dead; it died with Martin at the end of the ...

Re: So I found a statue that may be a Falmer before the fall

That statue is related to a pretty big questline.
It is certainly a Falmer statue.

Re: Landscape size and scale of Skyrim and comparison to oth

Morrowind has the largest scale of the last three games, as it takes place in Vvardenfell, which is only a fraction of the province Morrowind, and, in terms of lore, Vvardenfell seems to be about half the size of Skyrim.

Skyrim has the second largest, with the actual "landscape" being about equal ...

Re: What race are you?

I'd always been a faithful Dunmer player, but something about their appearance, disposition, and place in society in Skyrim didn't attract me. Thus, I started up a faithful Breton mage. I intended on having a second character that was to be strictly Mer, but none of the non-human races had any ...

and I did not get the impression from Sheogorath's Quest that he indicated he was the Champion of Cyrodill

Re: Does anyone LIKE the thalmor?

You aren't SUPPOSED to like the Thalmor.... they're supposed to be paralleled to the Mythic Dawn in Oblivion.
They're more like the Enclave in FO3 if anything. Far reaching political and military program, advanced technologies and tactics (in the Thalmor's case, coordinated magic use), superiority ...

You aren't SUPPOSED to like the Thalmor. Your character has no choice in regard to whether or not to consider themselves an ally or supporter, and it is thus not intended to be subjective. Every questline that involves them results in their being the antagonists. I'll confess, this bothers me a ...

I have to say, reading this thread has me convinced that Skyrim really is an inferior game to the previous two in the series. I love it, don't get me wrong, but I also loved Morrowind and Oblivion, and immensely more, it seems. It just appears that the developers got sort of lost, and had trouble ...

Re: Skyrim with Power

It's a poor idea. Video game music videos are overdone, uninteresting, and wholly bland. Any "viral potential" it has is of a completely negligible quantity (unless you include a clip in the end of a cat hitting a man in the groin). Do something more productive with your time, like playing Skyrim.

Oh, Skyrim. I love the game, I really do, but it doesn't hold me like Oblivion did.
Though I miss attributes, dislike the removal of the Major v. Minor system, hate the interface, there are two humongous gameplay and immersion issues that just destroy for me.

The pacing of the game is absolutely ...

See, with coffee, most people drink it for the caffeine rather than the taste. Hell, compared to tea, the taste is very bland and one-sided.
