First for Thalmor Supremacy

How many towers have actually fallen?
I mean, how many are confirmed to have fallen?

Crystal-Like-Law, Red Mountain(-ish), Snow-Throat, White-Gold (Maybe), and whatever the one Bosmer one is called (maybe).

Is this image from this Russian who made that made this tripy video with remixed Morrowind theme and everyone's faces changing into one guard repeating the same phrase over and over?

Maybe?

I'm fairly new to trying to understand TES lore, so excuse if I'm talking absolute shite. Anyway, I've read that Landfall is when the Numidium will return to destroy Nirn. Is this still "canon"? Considering how Skyrim is set in the 4th Era, and Landfall is supposed to happen in the 5th, will Bethesda completely ignore it and do a Dr. Who ala change background lore (such as the number of regenerations a Doctor can have) and change it so Landfall can be avoided. I can't see Bethesda going full steam ahead to Landfall.

Not really canon so much as the premise of C0da, which while not technically canon was written by one of the developers.

>will Bethesda
My dad works for Bethesda and he says yes.
How would any of us know? Or, more importantly, why would the main games ever need to mention it?
Consider c0da to be whatever you want it to be. There's no reason for the game series to ever acknowledge it. I don't care about canonicity, others do, and you get to decide how you feel about it.
People like to argue, and hence make a much larger issue out of this than it really is.

Why was Sotha Sil so autistic compared to the other two?

Because that was just his personality. He's "the Mage." He was the last survivor of his house.

Did he actually do anything for the Dunmer race besides helping Amalexia banish Dagon. I know a God doesn't have to do shit, but he was worshipped but all he seemed to do was sulk about, be a dweaboo and create loads of cool shit.

There are probably a few things. Mostly, though, he build the Clockwork City and gave birth to Memory, which are pretty important.

His selfishness is of the sea.

Help me /tgesg/ my Tribune found my copies of the Mystery of Talara, now I'm sitting outside the Legate's office the worst part is my Legate is an old Breton guy... do I level Sneak to literally sneak out of here or Speech so I can bullshit my way through this?

Tell him you found a hill, or some orcs or something, that should distract him.

If he's a Breton, I'm sure he'll understand.

If not, it might be best if you were to man up, face the music, walk over to him and let him facefuck you, as is tradition in the Legion.

Why is Raven Rock so comfy?

Does anybody know what style of government the Aldmeri Dominion has? is it ruled over by a council of powerful mages or something?

Pretty sure its a Fagoracy where only the gayest, dick suckingiest male Elves get to lead.

Because it has that Morrowind aesthetic, but also the Nordic "Log cabin with a fireplace and a warm drink on a cold winter's morning" feeling.

>Waking up in Wayrest
>Have the greatest time ever blessed by Akatosh himself
Truly, I pity the Glenumbrians

>Waking up in Wayrest
Whats it like in the second best city in High Rock behind Daggerfall? Does it hurt, just a little?

>He thinks getting buttfucked by pirates is better than the Camlorn March of Beauty.

Buy Morrowind if you don't have it yet.

>discussing which High Rock city is the least shitty
Any city in Morrowind blows all of High Rock out of the water.

A shit pic for a shitpost. I'm not surprised.

But I already pirated it.

>he doesn't know about tuskposting

Buy it, cunt. Be glad I put it on sale.

I'd like to remind everyone in this thread that you're all my personal little bitch. Go cry some more N'wahs, I'm busy making money, smacking slaves, fucking my girl and side ho, frying S'wits, and smoking Skooma everyday, and all you're doing is stealing Limeware Platters and getting your ass handed to you by me.

t. Melar Baram

Figure I might as well ask here.

Is the MMO worth it for ten dollarydoos?

user, I know what tuskposting is. I've been here well before that picture was drawn. I'm saying that it's a shit picture accompanied by a shit post.

I've only played it maybe 3 times since I bought it.

If you like MMO's than sure, in my opinion it's actually one of the better ones out there.

Sometimes I manage to kill him at level 1 and othertimes I get my ass handed. Usually it's mage characters who are able to face him cause magic is so good in Morrowind.

I really want expanded magic and racial bonuses for the next TES. Give Nords a boost to frost magic so I can play cool cryomancers.

So Potions of Vitality with a vintage of 3E 40 to 60 are the absolute best?

>dweeaboo
using this

tfw no dunmer waifu to give you this face as she says "NOOOOWWW YOU CUM"

Is there a lore-friendly reason Emperor Uriel Septim VII looks different in every game?

You only see him in two games.

dude got older

getting his shit fucked up

Arena, Daggerfall, and Oblivion.

Oh, yeah, he's in the opening live action cinematic of Daggerfall, right?

Is the Imperial Library a collection of books found in the game online or is it TES version of fanfiction.net? Some of the stuff I've seen on there like the trial of Vivec I can't remember seeing anywhere else.

The former. It's a complication of the sources.

There is no fanmade content on the main portions of the site. There are developer texts, and content with developer participation, such as the Trial.

You can find the Trial in other places too, by the way. Just not on the UESP.

How would you make a TES movie and in what era would you set the story?

If the Dunmer are so great why are they always getting conquered by men and beast races?

>conquered
I don't think you know what that word means.

Scrollhammer tonight.

Battlespire, as a action movie.

Shit's like Diehard...in space.

Subjugated? Surrendering? Defeated?

Someone posted their detailed reasoning for Acrobatics getting progressively weaker in games after Morrowind. I believe it was tied to the events of House Redoran and Red Year. Could something similar have happened to explain why magic sucks in Skyrim?

that was a joke about House Redoran valuing 'gravity', not actual lore.

magic sucks in skyrim because Nords are tremendously magophobic and their college is a collapsing shithole situated next to a fully-collapsed shithole.

I think some people connect it to destruction of the Heart of Lorkhan in Morrowind.

Tell me about the Forsworn, Veeky Forums. Are they a proper threat to the Nords, or are they cursed to forever be fantasy jihadis?

I can tell you THE REACH WILL BE OUR'S AGAIN!

They destroy numidium in 5th era and save existence before its fully fucked.

I was born under the Atronach, wizzy boy. You're nothing to me but another walking reservoir of magicka.

Breton with the Atronach sign, anything more anti-magic than that?

Invisibility Spell from Habasi @ the Thieves Guild, or Shadow sign.
Stupidly OP Deadric weapon of choice from Dram Bero.
Fucker drops like a rock.

(But only the second time through, when you understand exactly how the devs set up this dungeon to kill you.)

How did the Snow Throat tower fall? It's only white gold, crystal, and red mountain.

The second option

When you run a campaign set in TES, how much of the deep lore stuff do you actually put in there? Do you mess with stuff like chim, kalpas or The Towers, or do you stick to down to the ground adventuring?

I've read before in other lore threads that the stone is a cave that had collapsed because of the civil war/alduin fuckery

I haven't played Daggerfall or Arena, but what about Adamantine Tower?

So your telling me
> other towers are White Gold Tower (fuckheug old tower), Crystal LIke Law (fuckheug old crystal tower), Red mountain (fuckheug volcano) and...
> a random ass cave. Not the Monahven, world's biggest mountain
Nigga you serious

Why don't i remember this guy. Red pill me?

I had to check that too, he is an enemy in the cave right outside Seyda Neen, possibly the first dungeon of many players. I don't think I ever had any issued with him though, since I don't remember him at all.

Oh ASSALAHJULIRFA or something? What was so unique about that dungeon design? Seemed like a starter cave to me.

Nigga read. He said the stone, not the tower.

It was exactly that, I assume most people remember this mage guy because he was the first hard enemy they encountered. I don't remember him at all though, so I cannot be sure.

demanding a JUST edit of uriel septim 7

I made that screencap :^)

I hope you didn't take it seriously.

>the devs set up this dungeon to kill you
?

You mean you don't know? The specialized destruction mages only come in certain races.

Many Cryomancers are Nords, but none are Dunmer. Many Pyromancers are Dunmer but none are Nords.

Interestingly, Bretons, Imperials and Altmer can be all of the above, and only Bretons and Altmer can be Archmages.

en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Fire_Mage
en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Ice_Mage

Adding on to this, Altmer are twice as likely to be shock mages, Nords twice as much to be Frost, Dunmer twice as much to be Fire, and Bretons twice as much likely to be Necromancers.

We know he taught, like a ton, and was considered to be the most empathetic of the three.
But in general, he's mystery for a reason.

So is it true a bunch of tumblr people turned on you because you said you didn't like Almalexia (which makes you a misogynist)

I believe the prevailing thought is that cave was deliberately made difficult for level 1 characters so that the player got the "Don't fuck around, we're not holding your hand here," point of Morrowind.

He also is the one who helped the Dunmer accept their new skin and spun it as a blessing instead of a curse correct?

Yeah. Which is was, since now they no longer get called altmer in grocery stores.

I thought Bretons were more likely to be witches

Those are the different types of warlocks/witches you encounter. Bretons are more likely to use Conjuration, which makes sense considering they get the biggest bonus to it.

The Trial of Vivec was a role play on the Bethesda forums by the developers. One of my personal favorites honestly.

I mean, grey skin and red eyes do look cool as fuck

Personally, I'd stick with pale gold skin and jewel colored eyes, but we can agree to disagree.

I laughed.
Are you legitimately working on a dreamboy mod or were you memeing on the interviewer just to see what you could get away with.

I wasn't kidding. The scripts all work, I just have to make the dreams. It was a resource I released but nobody was good enough to finish it.

What's this?

You actual absolute madman.
Hope it features sexlab compatibility for the authentic immersive hardcore mode experience.

This is your brain on elder scrolls "deepest lore."

No, I remember something about it too but it wasn't that meme image, there was actual logic behind it

You're just starting to confuse memes with reality, just like everyone else. Embrace it, user, the divide between material and memetic is finally breaking down.

I guess I need to wait for the real weekend, apparently retards like you are still on.
