I tried as an imperial last time and I just felt awkward. This poo poo isn't even real. I shouldn't feel bad about not being a dunmer. I feel like ever since morrowind I just know so much more about the culture of the dunmer it feels right?

I'll just come out and say it; I'm the guy that almost always plays a Dunmer in Morrowind, Imperial in Oblivion and Nord in Skyrim. Although oddly enough, my first character in all three games was Argonian. I think I just like the idea of being a Wizard Lizard.

I just want SkyUI to work :/ You don't need any mods. The game is like 100 hours of content on its own. Just play.

Listen sometimes you need to be a Vampire Lord that can use Hircine's Ring to transform into a Werewolf too. It's just a thing that needs to happen, you know?

It's why I find Wabbajack confusing. If I wanted to automate the game, I could just go back to Cookie Clicker (with my optimum purchase browser script and autoclicker). I guess finding something named Wabbajack confusing is appropriate, though. Wabbajack.

It doesn't matter who my character starts as in ES games as they always end up being a sword/mace/axe and board fighter as it's the build that required the least amount of busywork and micro. Sure I might do some spells, bows and alchemy on the side but it always comes back to hitting stuff with a lump of metal from behind a shield.

As fun as alchemy is it's wildly impractical to always be applying poison because of menu fuckery. Same with swapping through spell lists just to stealth around or whatever when normal crouch stealthing works better 99% of the time.

Yeah if you don't use that setting each stupid one off dungeon is like about 3 tombs of varn except more maze like. Less radiation damage and star trek jokes though.

My Nerevarine was an Imperial that sweet-talked the Ashlanders until they believed him. In my head this is canon.

Appropriate. It probably is more fitting for the Nerevarine to be an outlander, not even a dunmer, but I'm absolutely one of those people who plays exactly the same spellswordy redhead dunmer in every game.

Doc Fission posted:Post your Nerevarine backstories here IMO Lleryn Norathi was born in the Imperial City. He scraped by as a mercenary. He never knew his homeland, until one day his prison sentence was commuted to deportation. It turned out he loved Morrowind, and even more, was the chosen one. He thought that was cool but mainly he spends his days flying around his mushroom fiefdom enslaving and murdering everyone. Morrowind suits him, he thinks.

Orange Crush Rush posted:I thought the Morrowind era Dunmer were xenophobic enough that even other Dunmer not born and raised in Morrowind were still considered Outlanders They are, which is why I'm leaning into it. My current character was born and raised in the Imperial City, and his parents were extremely loyal to the empire and raised him to view Imperials and "civilized" Dunmer as the only people who matter. Going to Morrowind has shown him that his parents were wrong about a lot of things but he can't shake his loyalty to the empire (which works as a way to get me to play the Imperial Legion/Cult since I usually don't touch those factions).

It was my intention to follow the main quests so I could get all the shout powers but now some ghosts gave me a farm. You can plant and farm alchemical ingredients so it seems like a must have if you want to do an alchemist build.

this new ice spell added in the anniversary edition is broken as hell. everything around you gets encased in ice and falls down so you can can just charge into a group of enemies and keep them permastunned on the ground while you beat on them.

I always liked to think that the badass gravel-voice if the dunmer in TES3 is a “fashion choice,” like masculine posturing run amok until everyone is chain smoking skooma to get gravellier.

I think the cannon explanation is they all have hosed up throats from inhaling ash all their lives, but that doesn't really explain mainland MW dunmer sounding like a middle aged truck stop waitress.

I think...I think I've finally pinned my biggest problem with Skyrim. The one that hurts my enjoyment the most. Not the terrible guilds or the nothing main plot, not the lack of my beloved spears, not the gutting of the magic... All the light armor sucks. Just absolutely hideous. I keep wanting to do a light armor build because they move faster and have the objectively better perk tree but oh my god everything but Glass and Chitin is so loving gross to look at. Just boring rear end leathers and furs. At least the new Redguard light armor looks good.

My own main problem with light armor is how much of it looks completely unsuited to Skyrim weather, looking at you Forsworn armor and the one that looks like bondage straps.

Orange Crush Rush posted:If you have the CC stuff, I quite like the look of that Daedric Mail it adds, although it doesn't have a Helmet I am glad that there are a few nice looking new light armors in CC. Orcish Scale looks near, and the boots and hands of the light Dwarven armor make you look like a Robot Master from Megaman or something. Wellwinds posted:Stalhrim? Thieves Guild? Vampire? Ancient Falmer? Dawnguard? With the exception of Ancient Falmer I hate allll of those. Though I also hate Heavy Stalhrim.
