For dragons, even the act of speaking can call things into being so if they put effort into a specific effect there may be no limits to what a skilled thu'um wielder could do.

Yah-Gurl-Frend!

You know that now I'll have to bust out my game guide and translate that up as a proper sentence?

Try pronouncing it instead.

"I breathe now, in royalty" sounds very Thu'um to me. Thu'um is literally words becoming reality. We don't get to see much in game, but there are implications that The Voice can do immense things, like revert an entire nation to children or change the seasons.

Holy invincible army batman!

To clarify: CHIM is when someone realizes that they are just characters in a fantasy setting, but manage not to cease to exist via zero-sum. This enables them to use fourth wall powers. In fact, Vivec mentions (through a lot of metaphors) that he was able to use the Morrowind Construction Set.

Fourth wall stuff aside, most of the sermons were Vivec's self-insert fics.

It is unknown how Tiber Septim turned Cyrodiil from jungle to a generic fantasy setting, it could have been with Thu'um, Shezarrine powers, the Numidium, or even something completely unrelated which he stole the credit for.

Yeah, Alduin was pretty dumb when he did that.

Ho los enerah, kend yah gein koriid do lokal.

Yes I totally cheated and used the community made dictionary; but the official one is massively limited so I couldn't have got anywhere near coherent otherwise.

Is there any point in finishing this? (vs vanilla comparison)


I started it for personal use, but it's a lot of work for the benefit of one pair of eyes. People seem happy enough with the awful 512x512 stock textures.

I just found a mod that let you ride mammoths. ONWARDS

Hawt.

Oh, you mean sit on their backs and travel around..


Disregard.

Finished Dawnguard. It was pretty fun, but I have two major complains. For an expansion billed as being about vampires, I sure spent a lot of time fighting Falmer. Also, the time scales don't exactly seem right. Apparently, time just sort of stopped for everyone involved a few thousand years ago after some tragedy befell them.

Serana was sealed away before a Cyrodiilic empire was formed, which apparently happened thousands of years ago (though there were several changes of Empire since, even the most recent is hundreds of years old). So, what was Lord Harkon, chief-king vampire, doing all this time? He could have physically checked every square inch of Tamriel, personally, in that time frame, even accounting for the ever-increasing scale by which the geography is shrunk from game to game. Maybe the Elder Scrolls would hide themselves from him on account of Macguffin Powers, but surely he could at least have found another Daughter of Coldharbour or made one or something. For that matter, Valerica's secret hiding place had an exit visible from the castle exterior, and I cannot imagine that going unnoticed for thousands of years. Likewise, the two Snow Elves have apparently just been chilling since the Falmer overran the Forgotten Vale, centuries ago. And how could the "center of Snow Elf religious life" possibly have been so remote that they did not hear of the Dwemer "offer" until centuries after it had happened?

My, you're asking for consistency in the TES lore !

I wouldn't say TES geography is shrinking every game, they've been getting bigger since Morrowind. Morrowind, compressing an area the size of Greenland down to 6 square miles or so.

Perhaps until recently people have been beating down vampires but now Harkon's got the chance to go on the offensive. And perhaps Harkon's kind of a moron, explaining both why he hasn't found anything yet and why he wouldn't think to check his own castle.

Hadn't the Chantry fallen to the vampire elf guy long before the dwemer's betrayal? I imagine the corrupt high-priest mer just predicted when he'd get his chance and thus figured to just chill 'till then, while his super-devout brother was just hell-bent on campaigning against the Betrayed and keeping people out.

Hm, Harkon being stupid does make sense. He clearly has no idea how food chains work. I don't buy that he's only just now getting a chance to go on the offensive, though. Everyone makes pretty clear that nobody considered vampires to be an organized threat for at least a few centuries, and this big castle off the coast is apparently a surprise to everyone. I'll just have to believe that he kind of went, "Oh, a slight setback in my master plan! Guess I'm gonna have to wait until it just sort of fixes itself. Welp, love eating humans. Omnomnom."

As for the vampire elf, the paladin made it pretty clear that he didn't know of the vampirism until after the whole thing was resolved. It sounded like said vampire elf manipulated the Falmer into making their attack, because the paladin didn't even think he was evil - he thought the Falmer had done something to him after they invaded.

Alternatively, you could do what I did, and rip that DLC from your hard drive with a vengeance. 

[WillowLuman]

Why? It's got what TES games have been sorely lacking: actual climactic boss fights! Let's face it, every game has pretty much been you fight some mage and then the big clash of the titans stuff gets handled by a cinematic. The fight with the corrupted priest guy was one of the most awesome things of all the games. I just wish he used telekinesis in the 2nd part instead of pulling out a dagger.
