also make a version for Veeky Forums which would only be about waifus and mods

How in the fuck are Argonians born?
I hear some very conflicting explanations.

I bet the bitter coast would be pretty comfy despite it being a swamp.
Imagine being a mage living in a small shack on stilts. You have a small alchemy table, a hammock, shelves full with ingredients, a planter or two where you grow ingredients you can't find in the swamp and are hard to trade for (which you take good care of, and use some magic to make them grow faster) and a table with one chair. You live alone and sit down at your table with some canis root tea and read a book about dwemer history.

I'm not implying waifu and mods discussions are a good thing, Veeky Forums is pure cancer

How do the aedra work exactly?
Daedric princes actually influence people and show themselves every now and then, the ALMSIVI and Dagoth Ur were even more present but the divines don't really intervene besides the blessings you can get from them.
There's a few aedric artifacts and quests you can do for them (Kyne's Sacred Trials from Skyrim comes to mind) but there's not much more

>anime waifu cindy plastic face
I thought no one else noticed how plastic the waifu mod faces looked
Noah Martin
They're dead.
Levi Barnes
Aside from Akatosh, they can't really do anything. Their power was used in the creation of Mundus, they just sort of exist right now. Akatosh is the only one who has had any influence past that, and even then it took a human sacrifice and his own crystallized blood to happen.
John Morris
People who notice this are getting banned by circlejerking modders
Landon Murphy
It's not hard to notice how fake they look, but the kind of people who sink 1000s of hours in Skyrim are often so detached from reality they forget what women look like

Whoa, is this from ESO or something? Or just a fan render? Too fucking cool.

You're giving ESO too much credit.

Do Telvanni start eating their own houses once they run out of normal food?
Jace Fisher
Is that supposed to be a specific place
James Jackson
We could only wish that an elder scrolls game looks like that. Or spend three weeks straight modding it for a screenshot.
Speaking of, anyone know how that project to port Morrowwind to Skyrim's engine is working out?
Logan Green
Skywind? Don't care for it, some of their art is neat. I don't think the project is doing very well.
Carter Morris

Camden Scott
I don't think so, I think it's just a "generic telvanni town". Could be wrong though.
Angel Nguyen
Well that's a downer.
Parker Turner
And the followup before I go.
John Price
It kind of looks like a lot of places, but the Holamayan looking building on the left with a ufo attached is really throwing me off.
Hudson Watson
>implying wizards need to eat
Hunter Miller
All I can think of is a giant gingerbread house scenario, telvanni lords leading innocent n'wahs with mushroom crumbs
David Carter
Pretty sure that actually happens, how else would they get experimentation stock?
Noah Collins
It doesn't matter, we have SHotN.
Josiah Morris
I imagine even less people are working on that, and it's probably been in development for longer.
Elijah Ortiz
So how are Hist trees involved?
Gabriel Cox
They lick the sap as baby salamander things, and they become intelligent.

>Tamriel in Minecraft
This is so relevant to my current thoughts.
I want to make a modded Minecraft roleplaying server, inspired by Morrowind. Now, I don't want it to actually be SET in Nirn / the Aurbis, but I want to try to capture a similar feel.
How do I into Kirkbride -style crazy shit writing?
(also, any suggestions?)
James Lewis
Do drugs while writing.

What's your favorite ES map?

Where's the source on the divines being actual planets?
We may be able to import some of their assets into OpenMW

Does Talos lack Corporeal Divinity? Or is the Dwarven Orrery just out of date?
Joseph Robinson
but which drugs tho
Ian Wood
>which drugs Every drugs.
Andrew Hall
While the power of the Aedra is mostly bound up in keeping the universe together, they, like all the spirits that compose fundamental forces, have some degree of influence over their portfolio. This tends to be much more subtle than the influences of the Daedra who have a very physical influence, but Akatosh might influence the world by fiddling around with the passage of time, for example - giving those he supports a few extra moments - just enough to make a difference. Their power is subtle but prevalent.
Ethan Peterson
One could argue he has become the moons.
Julian Sanchez
Are the blessings really result of Aedric contact? I thought they'd just be enchanted by the priests.
Isaac Rodriguez
Got to say, I kind of hate this image. Mostly for the way it portrays the Daedra realms.
Jacob Cooper
Ha! Good point. Worrisome though, given that they're both dead and infested with khajiit.
It always just bugged me that the worm Manimarco gets corporeal divinity in the form of the necromancers moon, yet noble Talos gets nothing.
Asher Jones
Having a corporeal form isn't really a good thing though. In some manners you could interpret it as death. I much prefer Talos not having a planet.
Christopher Myers
>noble Talos Talos was a right bastard. Pretty sure he murdered his closest allies for power, then timefucked a bunch of people with a robot.
Ian Perry
They look like planets because they're infinite planes surrounded by a much larger infinite void. I think. Is there a void outside creation, or is the void of oblivion a part of creation?
Aaron Wright
>conquers an entire continent for shits and giggles >noble
Brayden Cooper
Death in the form of sacrificing agency in order to create stability, sure, but that's the central conflict of the setting, isn't it?
Zachary Lewis
If conquering bitches and systematically oppressing peasants doesn't make you a noble, I don't know what does.
Connor Mitchell
They shouldn't look like anything. Oblivion is a void and absolutely empty, the Daedric planes are purely conceptual and do not physically exist.
Ryan Robinson
Right. They don't look like planets - the fact that you see them as such is caused by your failing mortal form looking for a way to interpret what the fuck your eyes are trying to tell you.
Angel Rodriguez
I can't see a reason a Telvanni would ever run out of food.
Austin Walker
Tel Mora?
Anthony Lee
The Aedra look like planets. The Daedra can't be pinpointed at all. They all equally inhabit an empty unending void.
Jeremiah Long
Ah, true. Theoretically though your eyes would do the same thing, wouldn't they? Or maybe some other weird illusion.
Levi Myers
The moons are Oblivion
Robert Barnes
I've heard reports that the team is being told to "make it their own" and "do what they want" so they're probably adding shit that wasn't in the original Morrowind.
Though keep in mind, this is just what i've heard and I cant confirm if it's true or not
Colton Cooper
People can actually physically visit the daedric planes, and bring back tangible items. They do exist.
Whether they exist as objects visible in the night sky is a less obvious matter, but the Imperial astronomers seem to think so, and they should know. Those guys had a space program at one point. Was that ever retconned?
Noah Scott
TES is so fucking weird sometimes.
Nathan Brown
The moons are Lorkhan Oblivion is the space between Aetherius and the mortal plane
Grayson Robinson
But then what's the building off to the left
Angel Gray
They don't even give a community release of what they're working on, I couldn't give two shits about the project after learning that.
Austin Cox
It may appear you physically enter them and so on, to the mortal mind, but they are not. Nothing of the Daedra is created, they shun creation, and they exist beyond mortal laws. When you enter a Daedric realm you are not entering a solid world, you are entering a completely imaginary realm based out of the ego of incomprehensible beings that make up complete concepts and aspects of the universe. The mortal mind singles out a definition of that world, and so it appears physical, even though there is no reason for it to be so.
Robert Powell
People in Tamriel think that.
Adam Robinson
Gateway Inn II, it turned into a really popular chain after the red year.
Justin Myers
>Daedric planes are purely conceptual and do not physically exist Okay I recognize TESO is heretical and noncanon, but how would Molag Bal's whole "literally drag Nirn into Coldharbour with towing cables" program work if that was the case
>Physical bodies can enter the Daedric realm with no complications >Can interact with it exactly like Mundus >Any artifacts brought back to Mundus will behave exactly like tangible physical objects What's the difference, and how do you tell?
Evan Martinez
So no, it's just a generic "telvanni" town
Blake Baker
Because the Daedra exist outside of the Physical world that is Mundus. They play outside the rules other than themselves (and the Aurbis). While the mortal world is defined by a single solid world, Oblivion, outside the mortal mind, has the potential to be anything, and that is in turn interpreted by the mortal as nothing. When a mortal enters a Daedra realm, they are treated to a realm they can comprehend, to familiar concepts and laws. The conceptual world is in essence, translated to physicality. Items can be tangibly taken from these realms in the same sense.
Jaxson Hernandez
this was meant for
David Adams
There are no retcons in TES.
You can walk, sail, fly or dream to any Daedric realm or planet.
Austin Powell
>Elder Scrolls games will never live up to their concept art
Jaxon Garcia

Charles Parker
That's true of most games though A big issue with tes concept art is scale, which just isn't ever feasible when consoles are involved
Kevin Rodriguez
Can you name one?
Ryan Gutierrez
Talos is not an earthbone as he was not around during the Dawn Era.
Kayden Thompson
It's a good thing these are threads about the lore.
Adrian Gray
Orcs being anything but beasts, Cyrodiil not being a jungle, Nords' shouts...
Carson Green
Such a shame Adam Adamowicz died before Dragonborn got released. It was the only part of the game (alright, a DLC actually) that was any good. All he witnessed was the lame base game that didn't follow his concept art enough.
