As much as I'd love to see the main quest really get underway, there are people out that the remain un-murdered and the Dark Brotherhood should really get on that.

My computer deiced to go ahead and die so if anyone else wants to take up responsibility for Glarthir. It's probably not permanently dead, but I can't boot it right now and making sure it stays working and everything is there takes precedence over a side update to someone else's LP.

Sometimes Dungeons are Okay Tonight, khajiit makes tracks for Bleak Falls Cave.  To investigate the stone, you see. Sterv is sure it has power. Now, onward to-  What is THAT?  It shines so brilliantly!  Hmmm...  I will kill it.     Hah!  There's more where that came from, you...  ...um?  Where did he...?  There! Have at you!  Or not.  Gah!  So, meet these fuckers.  Die, drat you! Will-O-The-Wisps drain both your Magicka and Health via a touch spell, so if you don't know what you're doing and constantly backpedal your rear end and sneaking in stick-and-move attacks, they'll be constantly healing themselves up and prolonging the fight. And, as you've already seen, they can turn invisible at will. With 220 HP, they make for a prolonged fight, and delightfully enough, they have immunity to normal weapons AND poisons, so enjoy that!  ...on second thought, Sterv will go to Leyawiin. It is sufficiently far away.  While Sterv runs down the river a-trainin' his magicks, allow me to make something of a disclaimer: for the sake of getting out a timely, short update, this particular update will not, as you may have reasoned by the title, be about the last Mages' Guild Quest. But I will get you up to speed on it.  I goofed, you see. I'd talked to some NPCs and started the quest, thinking I could just transcript the dialog from the raw video when it was time. But I began to run out of hard drive space and thus one thing led to another, as things are wont to do.  But at the end of the day it's just Oblivion dialog, so here's a brief summary: Dagail, the head of the Leyawiin guild hall, is gifted with psychic premonitions. However, she's been getting old and has been using an amulet, the Seer's Stone, to focus her psychic abilities or whatever the poo poo.  But it's gone missing, which has caused her to hear all possible psychic premonition at once, rendering her a bit useless, incoherent and senile, so of course it falls to us to investigate.     S-sun...  Shelter!  Now, I'll be honest, folks: this is a cave, and it's largely boring.  Headless Zombies, Wisp Stalks and all your favorite classics from Oblivion caves. You get the idea.  However, this spelunk was not to be entirely fruitless! Amelion Tomb, fittingly enough, is home to Brusef Amelion's armor, a unique light armor set. I didn't find all of them, but I stumbled upon a couple of pieces.  I decided not to keep the gauntlets - they're not quite as good as our Dwarven, so here in the cave they'll stay.  I did grab this Elven Warhammer, though, because I know money when I see it.   There's also Skeleton Guardians because of course there are.  I also grab this Elven Mace because what the hell, I've got the Feather for it.  This, though, this cuirass.  Lying in the middle of a serene room. It screams importance, power.  Sword's probably good too!   :gibbed:  HELLO TO YOU TOO, FADED WRAITH.  Right, so. This is a superghost with around about 300 HP and plenty of frost magic with which to blast the player.  He's bullshit, and as such we shoot our staff at him until he dies.  Anyway, our new cuirass is not only more protective than our Dwarven, but bears the distinction of being the only piece of the Brusef Amelion set with an enchantment. Said enchantment is Frost Shield, which is rather interesting - effectively, we have 6% of both Shield AND Frost Resistance on this cuirass. Fire Shield and Shock Shield of course, work similarly.  Glorious.  The sword has frost damage, so it's pretty unambiguously a straight upgrade.  There we go...always leave something for the next guy.   That dwarfplate was too drat heavy anyway.  Oooh. What is this?  By the Nine...it's...it's so light! So perfect!  Yes.  Khajiit likes this.

You can when you enchant stuff. I generally put Frost/Fire/Shock shield enchants on my shields. Because it seems like they should go there.

This reminds how even in Oblivion there were few dungeons with something unique in them. They're still boring though.

Sterv Shield rules. Also glad you're out of the dwarven set, it's so goddamned ugly in Oblivion. I remember my first time playing Oblivion and getting absolutely slaughtered by every will-o-wisp I came across. Those fuckers were worse than high-level daedra. I liked the way they handled them with the wispmothers in Skyrim, though.

Mordaedil posted:That sure is a skjold. Wikipedia posted:Skjold-class coastal corvettes (skjold means "shield" in Norwegian) are a class of large, superfast, stealth missile craft in service with the Royal Norwegian Navy. The boats were formerly classed as MTBs (motor torpedo boats) but, from 2009, the Royal Norwegian Navy has described them as coastal corvettes (kystkorvett) because their seaworthiness is seen as comparable to corvettes. They were built at the Umoe Mandal yard. Although the Skjold class patrol boats remain the fastest armed craft in the world 60 knots (110 km/h), the unarmed Canadian Navy high speed patrol craft hydrofoil prototype HMCS Bras d'Or has attained speeds of over 63 knots (117 km/h). I don't know what's what anymore, what are you- quote:(skjold means "shield" in Norwegian)

All right, guys, there's a few updates in the pipeline, but I've got a bit of a quandary. There's a few dungeons in the mix, and those are a slog to write about. I'm leaning towards just summing those up with a screenshot or three and a paragraph, maybe two, about how it went. Particularly interesting and horrible dungeons. will get broader coverage, but if it's Fort #134 or Cave With Wisp Stalks In, I'm not going to bother with anything more than a short trip report. Everyone okay with that?

Yeah pretty much, as long as you make sure to show particularly underwhelming contents of the furthest-in "treasure" chest  Your average cave or fort in Oblivion is going to be just as boring to read about as it is to play after all. e: Oblivion's love of net loss dungeons never ceases to amaze.

The most interesting thing about dungeons, to me, are how useless and/or broken they can get. So if you find a +1 Sword of Shittiness hovering six inches above the chest it's supposed to be locked in, or sixteen Uber Skeletons guarding a lockpick, please show us that. Otherwise "a dungeon happened" is good enough for me.

Yeah, unless something of particular note happens, it's just a cave. You can just say where it is/what you found in it. There's only so many ways to say "I killed some skeletons/goblins/trolls".

Note: "of particular note" includes things that suggest everything wasn't made by a random generator. Display all skeletal hands reaching out for healing potions from beneath rubble.
