So, Giants.
Tell me about'em.
Jason Martinez
Why do they have tusks? Why do they have elf ears?
Charles Rogers
I'm wondering too, now that you bring those up
Cameron Howard
That guy's tusks are animal tusks he's twined into his beard.
Anthony Jackson
And horns!
Jordan Young
Giants (karstaag?) are a subgradial dawntime Atmoran entity somewhere between men, mer, trolls, the Ilyadi, the karstaag (?) and dragons. Possibly transkalpic, if that even means anything anymore.
Evan Ortiz
When is the right time to read c0da for a beginner
Asher Wright
You should ideally not be a beginner by the time you read it. If you're asking as a beginner, then you should read it last.
Connor Hughes
Play through Morrowind's main quest, read some of its books while doing so and just get acquainted with the story and lore. Read all the 36 Lessons. Read some of Kirkbride's out-of-game texts primarily 'Vehk's Teaching' and the Loveletter.
You should be ready then.
Christian Wilson
Stop asking about giants.
Isaiah Taylor
They're big. Herd Mammoths. Like painting and tattoos. Live in small nomadic communities. Like hitting people they don't like with a club. Tend to keep to themselves.
Luis Jenkins
Last thread there was discussion about Almalexia potentially mantling Boethia?
Would that have any effect on Boethia's sphere at all?
Noah Watson
First for /Bretonmasterrace/
Objectively best race. Prove me wrong.
Pro tip: You might
Isaiah Robinson
I wouldn't say objectively, but they are my favorite
Gabriel Nguyen
No, because they would have be similar enough in the first place for the mantling to qualify. Boethia is the Anticipation of Almalexia (or the other way around post-Red Year), and it's sort of a soft mantling in the case of Almsivi.
Cooper Perry
>Almalexia potentially mantling Boethia Who comes up with dumb shit like this?
James Lewis
They're monsters!
Carter Carter
They are Atmorans who fell for Herma Mora's ruse and became Aldmer.
Jason Green
I'll get on that then

Xavier Bennett
You better enjoy this experience, one only plays Morrowind blind once.
Christopher Fisher
The concept of the anticipations is just temple propaganda to win daedra worshipers over to tribunal worship. It has nothing to do with mantling.
Xavier Morales
This. Literally the same thing as Saturnalia -> Christmas.
Camden Powell
Does toilet paper exist in TES?
Or do they use something else?
Do they use paper, or parchment?
Does tobacco exist?
Adrian Taylor
>Does tobacco exist? It's an ingredient in Oblivion.
Hudson Rodriguez
Oblivion isnt canon.
Sebastian Carter
Fair enough. Tobacco is also mentioned in The Wolf Queen, v.4.
Jace Torres
The Trial of Vivec has a giant spiel about hoe the Tribunal had stolen their path to godhood from the Good Daedra and even goes so far as to state the following >our people throwing our mantles to us across stars The inference seems pretty clear.
Brandon Morales
>implying the Trial is not itself a piece of ALMSIVI propaganda
Jackson Powell
>Oblivion isn't canon. What did he mean by this?
Benjamin Edwards

Those who are not bothered by these, stay. Incidentally, not many put up with it and go somewhere else. Many people on Reddit or forums occasionally visit here but why would they ever get involved. Why not just Download le memes, post on imgur or Reddit, get upboats and never come back.
Jaxon Edwards
user, we got official the stone translation less than 5 years ago. The only ones that are defensive are the ones baselessly attacking a certain involved loremaker. Stop spewing shit, I haven't had my coffee yet.
Charles Clark
Michael "Cuck" Kirkbride deserves to be attacked given a) his anti-semitism and b) his recent claim that Morrowind should no longer be considered canon
Xavier Moore
>a) his anti-semitism Eh, who car- >and b) his recent claim that Morrowind should no longer be considered canon Wait, what the fuck did this faggot say?
Ryder Wood
Morrowind is allowed, right? It's got d&d combat :^) asking here because vg is vg Does anyone know of any mods that add offensive mysticism spells? I want to throw an Elmekia lance
Owen Morris
>add offensive mysticism spells You get fucking Absorb, what else do you want?
Nathaniel Howard
I want shamanistic magic to attack from the astral plane and shit
Grayson Thompson
Wait for post-1.0 OpenMW then. No way to add new spell effects currently.
Parker Nguyen
*tips mutilated dick*
Zachary Butler
What happened?
Thomas Perry
Given the lack of response, apparently literally nothing happened.
Carson Perry
Some Oy Vey is sperging
Zachary Green
So when someone achieves amaranth do they zero sum? What happens to them afterwards?
Colton Wright
No, they don't. They become the Godhead of a new Dream, as Anu is to the current.
Jaxon Rodriguez
But what happens to their presence in the world they are in? Both Anu and Vivec+Jubal buggered of somewhere, but why?
Ryan Butler
We don't really know. All we have to go off of is how Anu "hid himself in the sun and slept" which is connected to the state of sensory deprivation mentioned in the Loveletter.
>God outside of all else but his own free consciousness, hallucinating for eternity... >...a subject in sensory deprivation begins to hallucinate after only twenty minutes.
Hudson Walker
Elven supremacy is Only truth
Grayson Collins
I see "hid himself in the Sun" as running away from responsabilities, hiding from the world in fear/regret, just like Magnus(the Sun) did it.
Nolan Sullivan
Why did Winterhold collabse
Oliver Diaz
It done got fucked up.
Adrian Reed
Maybe it was blowback from the euroption of red mountain
William Perez
Fuck Giants, explain Centaurs to me. What the hell are they?
Brandon Torres
Half horse people.
Alexander Martinez
furry ehlnofey
Juan Reed
Elaborate.
Owen Smith
>What the hell are they? They're the mystical creatures known as "Retconned".
Carson Carter
>Retconned Skyrim version of A Dance In Fire still has a mention of centaurs.
Gabriel Walker
>implying they dont just copy paste the books to be able to say shut like "so much story, such great depth" at game shows How many original, good books were written for Skyrim? Not many. ESO is the worst in this, we all know it. They dont care about books, nor developing the game world outside of quests. They write a single paragraph of utter shit, call it a book and say oh what stories we tell. God I fucking hate that """""lore master"""""" too. Books in TES is the only thing in life that makes me go REEEEE
Judging by the way it goes, they will turn TES back into a DnD setting.
Jack Garcia
Please don't remind me, user. I almost fucking puked when I saw LadyNigger posting pic related.
Isaiah Martin
A retcon is when something is when something is literally overwritten in the lore (i.e jungles of Cyrodiil). Just because Centaurs haven't been acknowledged in a while does not mean they have been retconned.
Liam Hill
So, I gotta say I like ESO's version of Vvardenfel ruins as a half-way point between Skyrim and Morrowind, but the new Daedric ruins don't really look all that good. (And hell I thought they were supposed to be intact during the Interregnum, but that was just a personal idea of when they were built.)
Absorb is pretty fucking based, not sure how you need more than that/
John Reed
Aaaand I forgot the image.
Jacob Adams
I guess because the texturing was simpler in Oblivion they could twist the upper polygons into crazy curls to look unearthly without looking glitchy, but still...
Daniel Ortiz
Fuck you, Matt
Nicholas Fisher
The colors are also all wrong and the reddish glyphed blocks are replaced with boring grey stone.
Daniel Torres
Ald'ruhn's crab is either not completely excavated or they really changed the shape.
The rest of the city is unbuilt which actually makes sense, as opposed to Seyda Neen which is practically identical in a blatant act of nostalgia-pandering.
Joshua Harris
I hate ESO but I gotta give it to them, Ald'Ruhn being an ashlander camp prior to Redoran coming is a neat idea. Redoran-Ashlander connection is an interesting one in generral.
James Peterson
>Actually, this all sucks
Zachary Moore
The greyer tones and stone floors make the anscestral tombs feel a bit more tomb like and a lot less cozy. (Really they felt super comfy in Morrowind, this is a change I don't like personally bur recognize is probably better thematically.)
The crab shell also sorta fits the the "Big over-tent covering up smaller Yurts." feeling
Carter Hill
Clearly Matt was put in charge of the ESO Daedric ruins.
The fucker.
Jaxon Hernandez
Sweet fucking christ the Velothi towers look like *SHIT* Even though they DO look more tower-like overall, they still look pretty shitty.
Michael Robinson
Why would skar be buried and of needing excavation
Juan Torres
>The crab shell also sorta fits the the "Big over-tent covering up smaller Yurts." feeling Yes, exactly. I've noticed it before, Redoran architecture and city planning had noticeable similarities to Ashlander ones. Huts and yurts are both round dwellings with the heath in center, and they are similarly placed. Some Redoran designs are straight up copied from Ashlander ones.
Lincoln James
What the fuck have these corprus maggots done to my Arvs-Drelen?
Benjamin Jones
I asked this in a thread awhile back but I didn't get to see the answer.
Can anyone rip 3D models from Skyrim and then we can 3D print models for Scrollhammer? I would literally buy a 3D printer for this and mail people in the thread if they paid the postage/thread cost.
Joseph Jenkins
Uh... Yeah about those Redoran Barracks with the Horseshoe-crab tail...
Nicholas Torres
I don't know shit about 3dprinting, but given all the empty space I think you would have to print it in multiple parts. So while I think it would be possible, I'd imagine it would take more planning than one would think. But again, I don't know anything about this.
Ethan Murphy
This ruin looks okay from a distance, though not like the source ruin at all. (It lacks the center tower with the big cluster of twisted bits at the top.)
Connor Wright
Nah, you can rip a model and make it a tiny single-shot or two-part model unless you've got a LOT of detail. The pic I posted is too detailed and crazy for a minis game.
Juan Smith
The original
Blake Taylor
I like how the failed incarnate is sorta tucked away, but I am not a fan of the new Azura statue, it's too nice and pretty with that dumb flower crown.
Tyler Fisher
The image was obviously drawn by Kirkbride. The note is also Kirkbride, him telling Matt (lead artist) that he hates what he dislikes his own drawing and wants Matt to do one instead.
Bentley Thomas
Is this shit for fucking real? They let you go into the cave of the incarnate?
Noah Morris
user let's be real; that's not a failed incarnate. That's just a mummy from like in Urshilaku Burial Caverns. Probably was there before the statue was.
Asher Parker
Nothing is sacred for these people.
Cameron Torres
OOOOOh.
I hope there's a gag that lets you put on the ring and instantly die.
Thomas Morgan
I count 2 mummies in that image.
Brody Ramirez
This makes the hidden heretic monastery look substantially less well hidden.
Aaron Cruz
They replaced the Fields Shrine with a fucking boring-ass lectern!
Kayden Thompson
The statue of Vivec penetrating the Bug King is really pathetic.
Also the whole city is scaled even worse than the original, the floors are only at most two stories high at most.
