Also, bethesda promises "infinite" quests. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-11-09-skyrim-promises-players-infinite-quests
I see no way that this can go badly.  Bethesda has proven itself a master of realistic, non-immersion breaking procedurally generated content in the past.

Now now, there's no need for sarcasm.

Now go fetch me 25 bear furs.

So Ayem, Seht and Vehk as names for the ALMSIVI were originally used by the daedra? Damn, makes me want to replay Tribunal, now I really want to know if Almalexia calls him Vivec or Vehk..

Not just by the Daedra, no. Daedric is pretty much an all-purpose magical language. Think of them more as codenames. In addition, Vivec is actually Vehk-Vehk (because the whole duality thingq), but the first "Vehk" ends up being pronounces as "Vi". He also the only one who actually has his letter as his name.


Eh, Azura benefited from the deal, but I wouldn't say she used the Nerevarine. I mean, someone would have had to deal with Dagoth Ur anyway. Orchestrating things so that that someone had the support of the people of Morrowind might have been self-serving, but it was also very much a good thing for everyone who wasn't a Sixth House member.
Yes, but her plan did involve letting Baar Dau wipe out most of Morrowind as revenge for being slighted by the Tribunal, and it's hard to say she didn't use the Nerevarine when there's a pile of corpses lying around her statue in the cavern of the incarnate.

Not mention how the stripping of Vivec of his godhood (or rather his responsibilities and duty to his people against Dagoth Ur) is directly related to him leaving Morrowind, which eventually resulted in that moon falling down and destroying the whole province. So no, the people did not really benefit that much in the end either, even though I guess not being absorbedd into the Corpus hivemind would've been kind of nice

And yeah, Azura's motives are all about revenge. Consider thag before the ALMSIVI ursurped her (or Sotha Sil did, to be exact), she was part of the trinity of "good" Daedra that was worshipped by the Chimer, and who convinced them to leave Summerset in the first place. She pretty much considers the Dunmer her people and that the ALMSIVI stole them from her. It was Azura who cursed the Chimer into becoming Dunmer to begin with as well, as a "if I don't get to have you, you're going to suffer badly" move when she was "betrayed". She's a full blown asshole, and cares only for herself.

I have yet to run into any werewolves yet... :( My nephew has seen plenty of vampires though.

On the 'fetch 25 bear furs' thing, that would actually be quite the pain in the butt considering how sparse bears are. :p
I have seen more dragons then bears...

I got 3 friends buying the game for friday and the plan is to have syncronised start and then chat on teamspeak while playing for first time. There's a problem tough, some get home much later than others, so there's going to be test of patience. I need to wait about 4 hours after getting home if were going to start at the same time as we planned...
