I'd love to see a sci-fi Elder Scrolls spinoff.

[SOLDIER First]

Fallout.

[Teneb]

Fallout.

Nah. The more sci-fi stuff written for TES (mostly by MK) is way more trippy awesome than 1950s-flavored post-apocalypse.

[miauw62]

SF Elder Scrolls would be ridiculously awesome.

[Putnam]

The original pitch that led to Redguard was IIRC Michael Kirkbride and Kurt Kuhlmann pitching to Todd Howard about all this crazy sci-fi shit they wanted to do, at which point Todd was basically like "sure, why not do it in Tamriel?". Redguard was the game that took ES out of the aesthetic that's been talked about here.

[Sensei]

See Also: Dwarves in Redguard/Morrowind onward, tribunal expansion for Morrowind, and Pelinal Whitestrake was a cyborg I think.

Probably belongs in ES thread though.

I am pretty sure that the last Dwemer in Morrowind had spider legs, or at least a chair that had spider legs.

[scriver]

He had some sort of spider walking mechanica, yeah. He was suffering from Corprus Disease though, which horribly bloats and twists the body and causes abnormal growth of flesh and body tissue.

[Grim Portent]

So I just melted a guys face for the first time.

Was walking through the federal stockpile to rescue Mrs Abernathy (again) and shot a raider in the face, expecting his head to fly off or his body to disintegrate as normal.

Instead what happened was his head glowed like it was dusting for a few seconds then he dropped to the ground with his face reduced to a bloody skull.

Made me feel kind of badass.

[SOLDIER First]

If you like that, you should try an automatic Righteous Authority.

[Bluexdog]

Or the broadside OH better the artifact gun

[Yoink]

So, started playing this again today. Well... yesterday. I've been playing for a while. >.>

Finished a quest with everyone's favourite strung-out, redheaded boozehound.

Spoiler: Cait stuff (click to show/hide)

Good grief that was some sappy BS.
And the dialogue was cringey as heck- and no decent responses available to the player as far as I could see. There should have been at least a "*shrug* do whatever, I don't care, we've got plenty of drugs," option. Or, even more amusing, an option to *OFFER DRUGS* once she'd been cured and piss her off. Lame.

And now she doesn't even express approval at my character's rampant drug abuse. Welp, goodbye Cait. You're no good to me now.

After that was dealt with, I spent a long time screwing about encouraging the growth of my settlements.
Some needed recruitment beacons. Some needed shit like water and food. One needed to be cleanses of ghouls, which meant killing the two human settlers as well since I had a companion at that point- oh well, it's back now and better than ever.

Now, with all the settlements I've put effort into going more-or-less full steam ahead, I'm chilling at one of them towards the South-west corner of the map, sitting next to my power armour and preparing to make my first proper visit to the 'Sea. Stored most of my gear in a trunk, ditched my companion, and am about to plug in my headphones for maximum immersion.
I'm actually kind of excited to check it out for the first time, I've managed to avoid having it spoiled.

[Levi]

Oh, I got 266 hours of fallout 4 time in now.  I guess I can read this thread without worrying about spoilers now.   

[Telgin]

The Glowing Sea was probably my favorite part of the game, which is a shame considering how short that part of the game is.

Also, be careful if you wear power armor and go exploring.  I accidentally fell from a balcony next to Isolde (I think that was her name), triggering the power armor landing attack thing and hitting her with it.  Oops, have to do the whole Glowing Sea thing over since I didn't save before then.

Well, I guess it actually doesn't matter if you make everyone there hostile by accident, but I didn't know that at the time.

I started playing FO4 with mods....and i gotta say; being the minutemen general before was kinda crappy before. Very rare patrol spawns, the flare gun summons lv1 cannon fodder that cant even take a hit, and artillery that couldn't hit anything. I felt like I was the only proper member of the Minutemen.
Then I found We Are The Minutemen on the nexus (there's a larger rehaul mod on there, but i just wanted vanilla+ mods right now) and i gotta say, I'm a lot more immersed in being the general now. The moment it hit me was when I fast traveled back to Sanctuary and passed a 4 man Minutemen patrol leaving through the main gate and the leader of the patrol stopped and said "Hey General." Such a small thing, but I actually felt like a leading member of a faction for once. Maybe not in a direct way, more like a founding godfather kinda way, but it definitely felt better then before.
The patrols scale in gear with level too, so in the beginning they only had minutemen outfits and pipe guns/short lasmuskets, but towards the mid game, I started seeing combat armor and medium leather/metal. This carries over to the spawned reinforcements from the flaregun too, they're all scaled and have the correct perks and stuff.
This mod deserves to become canon. If you like the Minutemen like me, go get it. Turn the Minutemen into an actual faction.
