Is it possible to make the world map geoscape into a more 'realistic' satellite view? I'd settle for some greens without all the crazy effects they've layered on top as well.. Maybe someone's already done this? Thank you for any assistance and information.

Would it be possible to add extra abilities to the multiplayer aspect of this game? I don't mean to only modify existing abilities, but add new ones, to be used in LAN mode, with custom costs? This could/would be the first step in making a total conversion. :)

Could someone put the 1.7 compatible version of script dragon on another mirror, until the site is back up?

Aaaand the record got stuck again. Before trotting out your anime mantra and trolling other people, check your facts and check previous posts. I stated that I do not either read or watch anime, have come across it only in passing and would have no idea what an anime elf looks like. As someone who knows very well what an ordinary female face looks like (in my mirror every day) I have a major issue with the masculinisation of the features on the Dunmer in particular and have quite clearly stated that. I have often thought similar things when looking at some of the race mods and female game saves for Oblivion as well as for Skyrim - so often the chins and jaws were just WRONG. But at least with Oblivion you had the option to do something about the puffy cheeks and you could still make elves look like elves, I used - still do - the modified HeadHuman mesh from Robert's resource for OB, let's take a look at one of my OB Elves by way of comparison;- http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l255/janepreddy/Oblivion2011-06-2420-11-21-34.jpg That is actually a Dunmer copy race with a different texture applied. In game she actually looked much more chiselled and had clearly sculpted cheekbones, and I could adjust not only the height but also the degree of concave/convex, same with the jaw and chin. I raised the outer corner of the eyebrows to give a slanting elven eyed look and could do a lot of work on the bridge of the nose to avoid thatflattened, smacked in the face look. In Skyrim, I do not have that wide range of options. That is a modded game. Which makes your point invalid. Oblivion elves were just as, or even uglier than the Skyrim ones. The ones in Skyrim are also true to the lore. Unlike the misfits from Oblivion.

And that's what a discussion board is for - discussion. I partly share the OPs views, but the main problem won't go away anytime soon. Back in the days game companies were actually run by people, who made the games they wanted to play. Nowadays it's shareholder companies run by suits, who probably haven't played a game in their lives and employ pollsters to look for the perfect game for the masses. That has to lead to a decrease in quality. That goes for the whole entertainment business. This is very true. Also one of the reason indie developers does so well these days. And the main reason PoE will be one of the best ARPG's of all time. I am really looking forward to playing act 3 in the open beta. :)
