Bretons and Imperials tend to be rather similar in Morrowind and Oblivion. The differences are much more apparent in Skyrim. I admit I haven't done much exploring because I want to finish all these quests Edwinna's sending me on so I can advance further in the guild. I am glad you goons sent me to Ald'ruhn, though, because I'm as fascinated with the Dwemer as Edwinna is.

TIL that it's an unique line. But I haven't even heard that for ages, since areas around there are a pain to navigate in addition to the ring itself.

I'm surprised that no one has commented on that Amulet of Shadows Bjorca picked up. I consider it to be one of the most broken items in the game (of course I pick it up every playthrough).

Yeah, it's amazing. It bothers me that the Amulet of Shadows is not considered an artifact, while the entirely inferior Ring of Surroundings is.

They've been a great mystery across all the Elder Scrolls games, and their artefacts and ruins are really interesting. Their armor, weapons, and robots are all cool too! For more Dwemer-related quests, make sure to talk to the Arch-Mage Trebonius Artorius in the Vivec guild!

Edit to add: There will be no more updates until the new year, sorry. I'm spending time with family and won't have any time for Morrowind.

anilEhilated posted:I'm so tempted to drop a huge spoiler here. Basically, it's a good idea to not debate this topic until you've beaten Morrowind. I meant after the Red Year, you clown. Lore implies the Last Dwarf perished along with everyone else when Vvardenfell was flattened. His death effectively meant the extinction of the Dwemer (on Nirn, at least).

Red what? I blocked out the rampant stupidity of Oblivion and Skyrim's "worldbuilding". Are you seriously telling me people are debating to what happened to a single character as opposed to metaphysical fuckery involved with the first event? edit: Well, i guess that's how Bethesda's target audience is. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Dec 9, 2014 |

There are people who go out of their way to make sure their mods for a fantasy video game are lore- and immersion-friendly, just sayin.

Happy 2015, goons. While our hoverboard kits are on backorder, Let's Play some more Morrowind! Chapter IX: The Hazards Of Ancient Machinery  Here goes...  I checked my stats to see what was eating away at my personality. Oh well, nothing but machinery down here, it won't matter.  It's so dark down here. So. Dark.  I can't tell if that's a robot or an actual spider. 0_o  A bit better-lit, but now kind of spooky.  drat it, my hammer's out again. Oh well. *bludgeons Dwemer automaton into scrap*  Now that's treasure!  Eureka!  YEAH  I need some Conjuration practice, so the next automaton to come crawling out of the gloom is set upon by an Ancestor Guardian.  Dwemer machinery in Morrowind looks very different to the Skyrim variety. But then again, so do the weapons and armour.  Back at the Ald'ruhn guildhall, I pick up a very useful combat spell.  Having sold off my loot, I return to the ruins. Is it just me, or does that look like a massively overbuilt hot rod engine?  By the time I'm done, though, I'm out of magicka and thus I have to return to Ald'ruhn on foot.  I don't think I came this way before...  Another seaside shanty town. Eventually I find my way onto the main road and return safely to the guild. Edwinna:  Bjorca: Here's your tube. Man, those ruins were awesome! Edwinna:  Bjorca: So, what's next? Edwinna? Edwinna! Edwinna:  Bjorca: Yes, I want more duties. I can't promote myself, you know. Got anything that needs doing? Edwinna:  Bjorca: Another Dwemer ruin, huh? Where do I find it? Edwinna:  Bjorca: Is this a really important report, or did someone just not check in? Edwinna:  Bjorca: I will. See you when I get back.  Hoo boy. This is going to be a loooong hike, even without any distractions along the way.  As long as I just keep going south-east, I shouldn't get too far off course.  Obviously there's money in this, but there's also money in her corpse. What say you?

There is a comely khajiit you should be loving. In my first game, that was the real turning point. She made me a man, turned me from an alchemists dweeb into a rich dude with some amazing gear. And a serious criminal record. Including one I couldn't back out of no matter how much I paid. Check out Hlaalu because I never got around to it. I always liked Redoran and both redoran and telvanni have some sweet mods.

Escort, the full miniquest is probably much more profitable in Exp and goodies than the "kill and loot" option.

Chapter X: This Is Why We Don't Consort With Daedra Any More Well, so much for that, then.  I continue south, slaying critters as I go.    It's getting dark and there's an ash storm kicking up. I should probably get some shelter.  Um... not sure if want  Scamps. Definitely a daedric site.  Ten septims on the one I conjured!  Greetings, fellow Orc. What brings you all the way out here?  <sarcasm>Oh, this looks totally inviting and not at all foreboding.</sarcasm>   This fellow seemed to take umbrage towards my presence.  Just what I need to complete my steel armour suit.  I strip as much off the dark elf as I can carry, cast Mark to allow myself to instantly return here...  ...deal with the other fellow...  ...and port back to the Ald'ruhn temple for a Magicka refill.  The ash storm is still raging, but at least I don't have to trek back through it to the daedric shrine.  I paid attention to my Fatigue this time.   Back at the shrine, I hang around for a while and let my items recharge on their own.  Don't mind if I do...  Dremora: Bleed, bloodsac! Bjorca: poo poo SHITSHITSHITSHIT *casts invisibility spell* Dremora: Huh?  Bjorca: *sneaking up from behind* CONJURE THIS *thwack*   Dremora: I WILL BANISH YOU  Bjorca: I WILL CARVE AN ODE TO THE TRIBUNAL ON YOUR CORPSE  Fuckin' A. I just pulverized a godsdamned Dremora Lord. How do you like them apples?  Through a large round door at the rear was a maniacal axe-wielding Nord, who met the same fate as the last three.  Then I tried pulling the glass dagger out of the sacrificial victim on the altar. Another Dremora popped in, this time wielding the very pointy halberd you see here. We're two for two on Dremora here; Mehrunes Dagon is going to be royally pissed, to say the least.  I don't think I'll be using that halberd, though. My Spear skill is practically nonexistant and it's not even enchanted. Its previous owner was far better at using it.  The Nord hasn't got anything special on him.  Even the axe is kind of mediocre.  It's daylight when I exit the Ald'ruhn temple, but the ash storm is still going, forcing the locals to shield their faces as they go about their daily grind.  You bet your rear end I'm taking that off her hands.  Bjorca: And you probably never will again.  Unfortunately, Ald'ruhn's vendors don't have an endless supply of cash, which means I'm heading back to Balmora to try to find someone with enough moolah to buy the glass dagger.  I drop in to the guild hall while I'm there and expand my magical repertoire.  There's more than one way to get high in Tamriel.   Bjorca: LOOK AT ME I'M FLYING  Bjorca: FLYYYYYIIIIING Female Voice: Warning: Levitation spell dissipating. Failure imminent. Bjorca: AAAAIIIIIEEEEE  *crash* *clatter* *cat screech* Bjorca: ...ow...  Returning to the shrine with low health is only acceptable because all the previous inhabitants have been thoroughly macerated.  Returning to Ald'ruhn with more treasure, I notice the ash storm has finally died down.  Unfortunately, I neglected to check the rearmost room of the shrine. Good thing I visit the Tribunal shrine regularly!     The worktable in the back room is cluttered with magical goodies, including some skill books and a staff which is totally replacing the warhammer for three reasons: 1) it's in the same weapon class as the hammer, but swings much, much faster and deals a comparable amount of damage 2) it comes with a free levitation enchantment, allowing me to fight in midair if I so desire 3) it has a longer reach, allowing me to stand of terra firma and knock cliff racers out of the air  Finally, I exited the shrine by the front door and went into vanity mode to get this great shot of Bjorca in all her finery: a jewelled and embroidered robe over full-body steel armour (including pauldrons), topped with a dragonscale helmet and accompanied by the best weapon I've seen yet in this game.  I took this shot for one reason and one reason only: this is the first time I have actually seen a netch outside of Dragonborn.  I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THESE MOTHER loving CLIFF RACERS IN THIS MOTHER loving GAME  Bjorca: Oh gently caress me... TO BE CONTINUED
