Demiurge4 posted:I'm not very into the glorantha mythos, but the elder scrolls are like weaponized god-smithing, right? It's hard to define and inconsistent, but Elder Scrolls generally define what history was. As in the events they state are reality. The can be in flux and poo poo can get weird sometimes. They're often linked to events in that universe called Dragon Breaks, which is when time gets all hosed up in a weird way and things get nonlinear. Like, for example, we found out in later games that all six mutually exclusive and contradictory endings of Elder Scrolls II happened simultaneously and the universe just eventually had to adapt a medium. When Cyrodil went from being described as a Jungle in the early games to verdant fields in TESIV, that supposedly wasn't a simple retcon, it was because of a Dragon Break. Except that a Dragon Break is kinda literally a retcon sometimes. The Elder Scrolls universe leans heavily on the idea that the world is like a story being told by gods or highly enlightened people (people who've achieved CHIM), and Dragon Breaks happen when multiple people tell contradictory stories at once. The Elder Scrolls themselves are records of the stories in pure form. Your character in The Elder Scrolls games attains CHIM through the power of quicksave and quickload.

BravestOfTheLamps posted:lol If you think of comics before the Bible To many people, comics are more likely to be relevant in the course of their daily lives. For anyone that cares to know, the actual reference is to Exodus 3:14. Exodus 3 isn't particularly lengthy, and the context may be relevant, so here it is in its entirety: Exodus posted:Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

It's really not? Not that it's bad or anything, just that a milieu is only as good as it's presented, and it's just a storytelling device anyway. K6BD's setting is decent because it's used well as a vehicle for all sorts of neat action and visual concepts, even when it's overburdened with exposition or reads too much like a RPG sourcebook.

Himself uses almost the exact same words to define himself that YHWH does in the Bible. Furthermore, in fiction, just about everyone who uses similar phrasing considers themself to be a god. The only reasonable course for Allison to take is to follow the advice of Meti and the Buddha. Kill him.

Untrue. Since he is eternally locked in a dread iron casket, you are unlikely to meet Himself on the road.
