Yeah, it s criminal to make a frickable daedric prince.
Mephala, Boethiah, Meridia and Azura are probably looking for a V-shaped swimsuit right now and have their cultists take pictures and drawings work on it later.
Though boethiah is probably looking to get her herself into a BDSM JAV where she gets TP
After seeing what happened with Starfield do you have any hope for TES.
Microsoft is clearly going to demand Hammerfell for the woke points. I don't see how it doesn't suck.

Back then Bethesda devs had the capacity to come up with and make something good.
Modern AAA slop mills (which Bethesda also became) can't no matter how hard they try and are only riding on the coattails of their past success.
AAA is going to die, and hopefully vidya will become a more niche market again with indies taking the main stage.
now it is, and unironically todd and kirkbride are ok Because The Numidium was made by the dwemer to replicate her, She was the Patron Deity of the Dwemer alongside Jyggalag, and the reason of why the dwemer came to be
A Daedra Magna Ge who's powers were originally the ones of the numidium but even more reality rapey that made Mora shit himself because she could even retcon that mora has followers at all, Paired with another Daedra Magna Ge who praises logic over magic and chaos and Aligned with her ideals?
Nah, interesting though is that the Daedric frickery became even more insane after this because there are other princes who were known in the Dawn and Merethic Era who were booted from Nirn by the Daedra or the Aedra themselves because they were too powerful and their spheres aligned with the worse traits of the mortals and divine.
>Yes it is kirkbride troony
Uh, you do know that Kirkbride is a lore consultant on ESO, right? Seems a bit weird to insult the guy who helps with ESO's non-canon lore
Chadthesda making a new Daedric Prince: >memorable design >memorable backstory >interesting and unique sphere >believable justification for being the strongest Daedric Prince that had to be removed from existence >people beg for him to return to this day >is actually not even entirely new, has been foreshadowed since Daggerfall
ESO team making a new Daedric Prince: >shitty e-thot design >moronic backstory >nonsensical attributes >generally gives off massive feminist Mary Sue OC energy >is suddenly le strongest because it's a Mary Sue Donut Steel >nobody fricking cares about It besides ESO's meagre fanbase >is the first entirely new daedric prince, an asspull through and through
To be fair only the fanfics overuse them. The warp in the west is about the only hard canon and explored dragon break.
What the frick is this?
Some randomly have backwards knees because they people designing them for Mortowind didn't bother to check existing lore so they decided to givr them bird legs.
To be fair birds' knees are usually hidden under the plumage so it's an easy misconception. No excuse with mammals though, I've seen plenty of nightmares on /ic/ and I really don't understand how.
That's not good, thoever. It's filler. This would imply that the saber cats are either a different khajiit or a different species. THIS ALSO shoehorned in talking magical housecats for no good reason. I don't hate cats but this is textbook shoehorning. It's dumb. Fricking TOOPID. TOO STUPID.
>Easily the gayest character in all of Elder Scrolls media >Zero porn
I feel like this is a symptom of ESO being played exclusively by Facebook boomers
god. the playerbase is the worst aspect of eso. i would legitimately give up a testicle if it meant that even half the playerbase gave as much of a frick about roleplay as XIV players do
Throw Khajiit and Argonians out of the game and nothing of value is lost. And I don't even dislike Argonians, they just have nothing fricking going on. Bosmer are pretty shit too but at least they could be salvaged.
Remake Morrowind. Same gameplay same plot no story revisionism, better graphics , and fully voiced dialogue each race and gender has unique accent plus main characters.
i think its fun that these different phases of khajiit kinda could fill the entire environment in a region
bear khajiit
human khajiit
cat khajiit
monkey khajiit
gorilla khajiit
bigger orc like khajiit
tiger khajiit
goblin khajiit
Anime cat girls, both human with cat ears and tail and a furry variant. Often mistaken for Bosmer, whise wimen are canonically the hottest in the setting.
I was never huge into the elder scrolls games, but I did do a lore dive one time, and looked through a lot of the concept art, and whoever does the background writing for elder scrolls is actually incredible. There is this unbelievably vast and multilayered world in there, full of amazing concepts, characters, locations, events. But then if you play literally any of the games it feels like they're not even remotely based on the background lore. It's boring janky trash in the most generic-looking and generic-feeling fantasy game world to ever exist. It's like all this amazing material exists, but everyone involved in actually making all the games only saw Peter Jackson's LotR movie trilogy one time twenty years ago and that's all they know about the fantasy genre.
In Oblivion they were indeed actively trying to make the setting more generic for mass appeal. In Skyrim they dumbed some things down in fear that normalgays would react badly to them.
ESO tries to do the weirder lore stuff, with mixed results.
i felt like morrowind was the last game where the lore actually mattered, i dunno the lore felt more deeply woven into the main story
you could take morrowind's plot elements and connect them to some big lore event that was hugely important for morrowind's history, the lore you read about resulted in these lingering problems that you now have to solve in the actual story
oblivion and skyrim's crisis-of-the-week plots could have been placed anywhere in the setting and it probably would've made no difference
i still think oblivion had fun lore like reman cyrodiil, pelinal whitestrake, morihaus, mythic dawn commentaries, etc., which i enjoyed reading but it's a shame that it had zero bearing on the game's plot or setting
on the other hand, skyrim and ESO lore... yuck
also the guy you're thinking of is michael kirkbride i think, he both drew fantastical concept art like pic related and wrote some of the most creative lore... the oblivion lore i named were all written by him i think
creative dude but he can often go overboard and he definitely benefits from a tard wrangler at his side
Morrowinds story was nothing more than a bog standard local temple has issue with evil wizard from a table top D&D campaign.
The twist they caused it was a nice touch.
I have said both before and both are still true.
You would think that knowing what I am going to say would give you time to come up with a response besides crying about it.
you're not worth arguing with, i'm just responding so you confirm your identity again and people see what an autistic schizo you are

You aren't going to argue because that involves using words. Not your strong suit.
>i still think oblivion had fun lore like reman cyrodiil, pelinal whitestrake, morihaus, mythic dawn commentaries, etc., which i enjoyed reading but it's a shame that it had zero bearing on the game's plot or setting
That is EXACTLY what I meant. Pelinal Whitestrake, and the whole founding of the Empire, all the stories and mythology behind it, all the little plot threads you can follow off into the dark until they disappear and leave you wondering and hungering for more. But then you play the game and it's "lol get some lame armor now you're whitestrake too!" Bullshit.
yep exactly
i think another problem for lore accuracy comes from bethesda's insistence on unwieldy NPC scripting and first-person action gameplay
it's why cities have to be tiny and cut off from the rest of the game to save on performance, and also why every race in the game has to play the same and have the exact same body proportions
at this point, the only thing i'm hoping for is that someone makes a comprehensive, lore-accurate TES tabletop ruleset
Morrowind felt like the only truly unique game. Arena and Daggerfall have the same out-there lore, but the aesthetic is the most bog standard, derivative 80s fantasy schlock. Oblivion is overly fantastical and tried to ride the LOTR popularity wave. Skyrim feels somewhat like a return to form, but on release it was the same washed out, colorless shit as everything else from 2011, and it seemed to go in the complete opposite direction and dropped almost all fantasy elements save for magic and mythical creatures.
Morrowind, on the other hand, has a very particular sci-fi fantasy vibe. It's pretty reminiscent of Dune while still carrying over a lot of the fantasy tropes from the previous games. Most importantly, it's inspired by actual real world history, politics, and religion and esotericism. In that way, the world feels incredibly unique and deep. You really feel like you live in a diverse world where magic and myth is alive and well; accepted, yet also somewhat mysterious and arcane. It strikes such a good balance and is completely believable. Morrowind has villages built on top of Dwemer ruins, just how Europe has towns built on top of Roman ruins, for instance I will always consider Morrowind to be the best TES game, and with Project Tamriel, I don't think I'll ever need another one.

And to be fair, I like a lot of the lore presented in Skyrim. The fall of the empire, the rise of the Thalmor, the various fights for independence, stuff like the Synod, and the Last Dragonborn as a character are all very interesting. I think the only problem is the game does a very poor job at portraying it.

Agreed.
I don't know. Like I said, I haven't played a lot of elder scrolls (maybe 100 hours of skyrim, 20 of morrowind), and I think I actually don't even like any of the games. But after going in on the lore and the writing and the mythology and concept art, it's a setting that I desperately WANT to love. I just think whoever writes all that stuff is a top-tier creator, who is stuck creating content for an extremely mid-tier game company that just does not give a frick.
>junk items that confirm Breton women frick dogs, most Nords are illiterate morons, Altmer practice eugenics, multiple khajiit/argonian porn mags, and that there's a dedicated guild of werewolf frickers
I like ESO lore because whoever writes it is clearly a massive shitposter
also >several brothels in the game >90% of the working girls are Dunmer and Bretons
lolmao
Wait until you get to elsweyr where it is confirmed that khajiit women have near unlimited sex drive to a point gangbang sex lasts for almost a week with the partners almost dying in process due to exhaustion.
so much cool lore and yet we just get one low fantasy human location after another. what a waste of a series
Yeah, at least TESVI will kinda redeem it as we're playing in a beast race region with Hammerfell
>low fantasy
But magic is literally everywhere and infused in everything in the games?
That's what he's saying. Despite all the magical shit, most villages might as well just be standard non-fantasy medieval villages
-azepam
It doesn't have that
what's the difference between 2 and 3?
human hair
3 and 4
I would do 1-5 at the same time
they are all furry, frick any degenerate who disagrees
Give me all of them.

Remember when ESOtroons used to defend this OC donut steel shit by arguing that It was never gonna be relevant?
now it is, and unironically todd and kirkbride are ok
Because The Numidium was made by the dwemer to replicate her, She was the Patron Deity of the Dwemer alongside Jyggalag, and the reason of why the dwemer came to be
Sounds moronic

Shivering Isles Jyggy was dogshit and his backstory made no sense
>that armor
overdesigned garbage
Need tall gypsy kat wife.
Dragon breaks alone make the lore utter garbage.
To be fair only the fanfics overuse them. The warp in the west is about the only hard canon and explored dragon break.
Some randomly have backwards knees because they people designing them for Mortowind didn't bother to check existing lore so they decided to givr them bird legs.
Holy shit you people still believe backwards knees are a thing in digitigrade leg posture lmao. Modern education everyone!

When are they gonna make The Elder Scrolls: Alfiq? Play as a magic housecat. It'll sell billions.
that game is called Stray
It's the opposite, the only good thing about it is the lore.
OHMES-RAHT SEXOOOOOOO
What the frick is this?
I believe those are called feet but could be wrong
An evolution chart made by someone who failed evolutionary biology
some of them are digitigrade, some of them are plantigrade. or am i missing something here?
Back when Khajiit were cool
Confirmed furry.
Throw Khajiit and Argonians out of the game and nothing of value is lost. And I don't even dislike Argonians, they just have nothing fricking going on. Bosmer are pretty shit too but at least they could be salvaged.
Remake Morrowind. Same gameplay same plot no story revisionism, better graphics , and fully voiced dialogue each race and gender has unique accent plus main characters.
>fully voice act a game with fricking mountains of dialogue that was never intended to be fully voice acted
How about no you fricking idiot?
Sit down and pay them for every single line.
had good lore, removed for ESG score
Imagine the sex
with each and every one of them
If an alfiq fuggs a regular cat, does it count as bestiality?
i think its fun that these different phases of khajiit kinda could fill the entire environment in a region
bear khajiit
human khajiit
cat khajiit
monkey khajiit
gorilla khajiit
bigger orc like khajiit
tiger khajiit
goblin khajiit

Aren't all Khajit the same species, with their form being determined by the lunar phase they were born in?
Yes
redpill me on ohmes
you can play daggerfall as a catgirl
they climb walls good
