Was it Sabregirl's werewolf mod?

Possibly, it had a whole system for transforming into different tiers of werewolf depending on whether Secunda, Massar or both were full. It was neat and all but since it took so long to occur between cycles, eh.

One mod I'd like for Oblivion and/or Skyrim is one that adds a bunch of unique items around the world without instructions on how to find them. I really enjoyed going to out-of-the-way places in Morrowind and finding things like boots of levitation or a powerful amulet.

Does it really matter?

Yes. It's kind of a derail

It'd be an easy mod to make. No dungeons, just rewarding trying to get to places that look like you shouldn't be able to, instead of the whole "invisible walls" things Bethesda has become so fond of now. I once made an "artifact scavenger hunt" mod for Morrowind, with neat stuff hidden in places like on top of one of the Vivec cantons, or underneath that little footbridge leading out of Seyda Neen.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind thread (hasn't been posted in for four years, but hey! It prevents this one being derailed.)

I was also getting tired of the generic Elder Scrolls talk but didn't care enough to say so. At least generic lore talk is somewhat related, but talk of other games specifically belong in those threads.

[scrdest]

One thing that bugs me horribly in Skyrim is how they STILL didn't get the chatter right. Sure, it's MUCH better than Oblivion's, but then again, so is complete silence. Couldn't they tie together the daily activities thing with some dialogue lines? It would be far from perfect, but at least feel a bit more natural than the repeated 'What?', 'What can I do for you' and stuff like that.

Maybe we should just turn this into a thread for all Elder Scrolls talk? It seems better than necro-ing a thread that has been dead for years. Most talk is about Skyrim anyway. (also the last Morrowind thread was locked after a fight, and I do not doubt it would happen again or turn into a circlejerk thread)

That one I linked is not locked.

The one before that, he meant.

okay I was going to post this in the WTF thread but it's far more appropriate here

People still believe that "CHIM is pausing and saving and console commands" bull. It really ing bothers me that that mythology myth gets thrown around so often, especially since there's no indication that any Elder Scrolls player characters have ever achieved CHIM (except maybe the Nerevarine, but only after Morrowind). It not only cheapens CHIM itself (a very interesting and beautiful concept--a literal interpretation of "knowledge is power"), but also the rest of the lore. No, it's not realizing you're in a goddamn video game. No, neither you nor Michael "fat" Kirkbride are the godhead. The godhead is the thing before AE, before concepts. It has no relevance unless it wakes up, at which point its relevance is meaningless anyway.

In fact, going on about CHIM like it's some sort of sooper-meta thing is cheapening the plots of both Morrowind and Oblivion. CHIM is realizing that all are part of the dream of the godhead, that you are, too, and yet you are. Dagoth Ur found out about something like that, but he was a bit off. He thought that all ought to be his dream. CHIM is I ARE ALL WE. Dagoth Ur thought I ARE ALL ME.
Mankar Cameron was a bit more sane (unedited first-draft Michael Kirkbride dialogue where he gets all the daedric realms wrong notwithstanding), but he still had this idea about all of Aurbis being shaped in his vision.

Now, here's the thing: both of them were on to something. Amaranth is becoming your own dreamer, becoming independent of the uncaring, irrelevant godhead.  This is the ultimate goal of AE, of existence, of all mortals, the purpose of creation of Mundus, Lorkhan's great idea. This is scratching the surface. The lore is beautiful. But, hey, people who are way into the games and not way into the lore (but may fancy themselves into the lore anyway), you'll see plenty of "Vivec knows he's in a game and has the construction set!" and other such things.

We should all upload pictures of our characters, I think.

They're retired for now. However, all three are making a comeback for the current character.

Ash spawns, your days are numbered.

So, since I don't use pose mods or fancy graphics packs, I'll just upload this.

That's a venerable old character there, the first I made on PC, who has survived more than a dozen modlist shakeups without being corrupted.

That dragon sure is interested in that sword.

Haven't played Skyrim in ages, but I've had this one saved up for a while
