Oi, two things;

One:
To wear wolfskin, or not to wear wolfskin, that is the question.
Especially as a werewolf- is it kosher?


Two:
Does anyone have a list of loose ends/prophesies/references that connect oblivion & skyrim?
Like the 'rumors of rebellion in the summerset isles', or hints of an npc's fate.

Mostly just the Blades after the main quest talking about "taking up their old duties and waiting until the next Dragonborn arrives".

Most of the foreshadowing to Skyrim is in Greg Keyes novels and Michael Kirkbride texts. Morrowind had a shitload of foreshadowing to Oblivion compared to Oblivion's to Skyrim, though.

Heck, Morrowind even had some very vague foreshadowing to Skyrim. Remember Wulf?

The Emperor and the legions have held the Empire together for hundreds of years. It's been a good thing, by and large. But maybe it's time for a change. Time for something young and new. What? No idea. Because I'm old. Old dog doesn't get new ideas. But maybe young folks like you should try some new ideas. I don't know. Could be messy. But change is never pretty."

...That's extremely hazy. It could have foreshadowed a thousand things.

Yeah, but throw in the rest of their Oblivion forshadowing and it makes it clear that Bethesda had it planned from Morrowind that the Septim Empire wouldn't survive the Oblivion Crisis. The whole dragon thing, only real forshadowing of that I can think of was in Oblivion with the crazy wood elf rambling about dragons.

Of course, given Oblivion was 6 years after Morrowind, Skyrim was 200 after Oblivion, it kinda makes sense Oblivion would have less obvious references to what they were planning for the next game.

That's a feature of foreshadowing. If it were clear they'd call it forexplaining or foredefining.

That was probably designed to foreshadow Oblivion.

I've been playing Skyrim again. Got a mod called Morrowloot.

It is the best mod ever made.

Changes leveled lists so that you'll only get up to steel from leveled creatures. Dwemer items and above can be found in places where you'll logically find them; the least spoilery one I can think of is Kodlak Whitemane's Ebony armor.

That makes sense. Except you should have the occasional 0.1% chance that a person has a piece of dwemer or something from a prior adventure. Isn't it funny how you wonder why some mods aren't part of the actual game?

Yes PLEASE. Skyrim tried to rationalize the godawfully stupid loot of Oblivion by saying "Oh well smiths have actually been making all this Dwemer and Daedric stuff by the bundle." Which raises the question of why we're not living in modern times in TES since apparently every blacksmith understands the secrets to Dwemer construction (and Orcish smithing).

Can we get a link?

Do want. Now if there was a sensible level cap on bandits, guards, and other non-hero NPCs, we'd be set. I guarantee that's actually a mod, because I know the capability exists to make it happen, but I don't know which one it is.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Hrm? That wasn't mentioned on the page.

Well, you never actually see them make the stuff- you're only ever exposed to real 'smithed' weapons in cases like "Baalgruff's sword", and skyforge steel.


I'm just thankful the bandits don't quite become oblivion's glass & daedric-wielding mega-bandits. Jesus by the end of that game the bandits could have swept aside all of tamriel.

I'd look under 'overhauls' on the nexus.



On the mod: it'd have to make other equipment exceedingly rare as well- not just weapons/armor but crap like loose dwemer cogs & the like. Doesn't make much sense for there to be fur-clad bandits hiding out in that dwemer ruin when said ruin has cartloads of superior arms & materials lying around.

I also suspect it isn't compatible with things like immersive armors?
