Re: What kind of ordnance is the EEC packing?

In Tribunal, there were explosive charges that you had to use to breach into areas of the ruin under Mournhold that was blocked off by debris. Whether or not it was actual gunpowder or a mix of more Tamrielic ingredients that made a similar effect, I don't know, but it's not out of the realm of ...

Re: Delphine and Esbern

I actually think that if not Delphine, at least Esbern is kinda interesting, and I wouldn't want them killed... Though at the same time I agree that if you're going to have to kill Paarthurnax, you should have had an equivalent quest to hit out at the two Blades agents if you wanted to side with the ...

Re: Role playing in Vanilla Morrowind

Well, I love going minimal on patches and content, but I can't speak enough for the unofficial patches, it really does fix up a lot of issues and bugs, and if you wanted to run with only one mod, I'd recommend that one at the very least since it's so good.

Anyway, the last roleplay I did was for an ...

Re: Favorite race to play as?

I personally love the vikings and Romans when I'm studying history, so I tend to play as one of them while incorporating real-life aspects of their life into the game to supplement the story I tell in my head and how I play them.

This love for Viking-sounding names and stuff is how I ended up with ...

Re: Which game to you feel it is easiest to Roleplay in?

Daggerfall makes a very good case, but I'd still say Skyrim. That's because of the moddability.

The modding is always the sticking point for Elder Scrolls roleplaying, isn't it? I've always found it odd that people accuse Bethesda of being lazy and requiring the fans to finish the game for them ...

I think it's because the enemy does not look like he should be deadly that OP is getting upset. If you're wearing excellent armor with a strong weapon, a guy in rags and a dagger should not pose a major challenge. Now, were the enemy wearing stronger armor with a better weapon, this enemy might ...
