I just wish there were more options to make people see that even though I am an High Elf wizzard, I do not wish ill on the world, iwant to be a good guy like my Oblivion dude. (who DID NOT become Sheogorath, I refuse to accept that idea as "canon". Refuse, refuse, refuse.)
-
But many emperors were Dragonborn - this was the beating heart of Oblivion's main story arc. What happened? Why is Dragonborn suddenly common worthless rabble.
-
Just cause it's up north doesn't mean it has to be small or spacious... believe me, I've been to some very northernly major cities.
-
Woah that's awesome thank you so much <3
mind you i like a lot of other people's texts but it's really hard trying to piece all of these little texture reps together. Faces, bodies, eyes, lips, eyebrows... gets kinda crazy.

Is there ANYONE that's played the Stormcloak side of the civil war questline yet? I've played and finished the Legion side, it was kinda disappointing once the questline ended but playing it was pretty fun.
I'd like to see what the Stormcloak side of the quest is like just for the sake of it but...
I just can't seem to motivate myself to side with them, especially because of that terribly disheartening and damning evidence you find in the Thalmor embassy that Ulfric is actually working for them. He's got all of these people standing behind him, believing that in siding with him they are standing against the Thalmor, when in truth they are actually helping them. Meaning he's got all of these people believing a complete lie, and has been stringing them along on false hope all along. The entire thing is an elaborate Thalmor plot, and Ulfric is their pawn. He's not only a traitor to the Empire, but he is a traitor to all of these people who've risked and sacrificed their lives for him. All along it's all been a plot and a lie! That's just totally awful! How come exposing him or confronting him with the evidence isn't an option?!
Can anyone tell me a little about what happens when you side with the them?
-
It's a mix. So far some I've seen are good but need to be bigger, some need a complete overhaul. A lot of them have nice designs and architecture but seem horribly empty and under-populated. But at the very least they have regional bounties now, that was a very annoying problem in previous games, since in every TES game the player generally spends most of their time in cities.
...I find myself wishing for a remake of Oblivion...
But I desperately want to do something with those empty spaces in the wall outside Whiterun...
-
There is no hope for humanity. The Reapers should just come and take us now.
-
It's happened IRL.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 CE, humanity pretty much took several giant steps backwards. People went back to being stupid and wallowing. Oh, and then the Catholic Church pretty much took over the western world, since it was the only unifying cultural influence in the West that survived the fall of Rome. Then they went around doing... well, let's just say, a LOT of horrible, horrible, horrible things.
...the fall of any Empire is a huge setback for us all.
Can only speculate on what could have been, if the Roman Republic had remained.
-
I just wonder why I can't get a house that isn't falling apart, with huge gaps in the floorboards and whatnot.
plus:
Ulfric is a pig a liar. Giving thousands of people false hope, stringing them all on a lie. All of these people he's led to believe that in following him they are opposing the Thalmor, when he is actually working for them.. all along.
And everyone's attitude towards you and your role in the main quest just stinks. :(
-
What are the best face/body texture replacers for male and female? I've been seeing pics of ones that look really good but I can't find any complete, no one seems to have done complete face and body textures yet, everything so far is all mixed up bits and parts :wacko:
-
I have a theory as to why they keep breaking their word and delaying the release of the CK. They're just like Bioware, their "patches" are rubbishy and introduce a LOT of new problems, while barely fixing any of the old ones. They know that they're no good at it and they would be embarrassed if they released the mod tool and us users started patching their game better than they can.
Dragons flying backwards = colossal, epic failure.
I seriously wonder how much beta testers are actually valued or used in the video gaming industry. A lot of games these days have major, glaringly obvious technical problems that any beta testers couldn't have possibly failed to notice. Like here - seriously, how can anyone fail to notice dragons flying backwards?! It's also like in DAO, where the endgame sequence and epilogue was almost completely broken (which the devs never addressed in any of their patches). Beta testers, we need you! :(
-
GRRR
I hate this. I am so desperately wanting to find out what in the hay happens to Amell and Morrigan after they jumped through the purple portal thingy, and their kid. (though he's just a perfectly normal chap since I refused the DR and sacrificed Loghain. good choice IMO.)
Anyone else? :(
-
Steam is garbage, Nexus is the only place I will ever go. Anything that is controlled by the government or a major corp or company or whatever isn't worth anyone's time or effort. Why couldn't they just stick the program they already used to make the game onto the game disc or something like they did with Oblivion?
-
The only player house i've seen so far is the one in Whiterun, which I must say is very disappointing. Even with all the upgrades it's still very shabby, even though you're the Thane of Whiterun! (the upper floor still has gaps and broken floorboards.)
-
What are the most exciting places you've ever been in the world?
IMO the only places of note I've ever been to is Copenhagen. Truly, it's a wonderful place - castles (I saw many of them, they're amazing but at the same time, sad to say a lot of them are quite empty, especially Kronborg, which sucks because it's the setting of Shakespeare's "Hamlet"), the Round Tower, Walking Street, and gardens. A loooot of loverly parks and well tended flowers and gardens. :wub:
There's also a lot of bicycles there. And I mean a LOT. Holy smokes, I'm not kidding - many, many people in that city are very avid bikers. Just go look around it on Google Earth in Street View, and you'll see dozens of bikers and bicycles chained up all along streets. You have to watch out for bicycles more than you do for cars!
In a lot of ways though it's very much a typical large city. Of course, anyone who lives in Europe or has visited there, knows that cities there are very different from those in North America - the cities there are a far older than any over here, the streets are very narrow because they were built long before automobiles existed, intended for horse drawn vehicles, so traffic over there is nightmarish and getting anywhere by vehicle takes a very long time. It's seriously a lot faster to bike or walk or take a train. The sidewalks are also quite narrow, and unlike here, there's no lovely patches or strips of grass to be seen. When I was there the sidewalks were just totally littered with dog feces. No one there seemed to EVER clean up after their dogs. Walking along one street you could come across more than a dozen piles of it. It was nasty.
There's also a LOT of crime in Copenhagen. And I mean a LOT. Things like breaking and entering, vandalism... it can really bring down one's morale. But in other ways, it is still a place of great beauty. :)
-
I haven't gotten that far yet,but do you really have to pick a side? I managed to stay out of it thus far.
-
How could I kill Paarthurnax? He's the only nice dragon in existence. All the others just want to roast me or tear off my head.
-
It was working fine earlier today, then I made the mistake of going to bed for a few hours, now suddenly I'm getting errors all over the place and I can't download anything, what's wrong? :(
I keep getting "no file exists for this ID error" for several files even though I'm pretty sure the files should still be there.
-
They don't want to release it because of silly console gamers? Oh, please. That's the silliest thing I've read all day.
-
I refuse to believe that that is actually Oblivon's PC. It sure as heck isn't MY PC.
-
But they used it to make the game didn't they? *confused*
-
There's a female who helps you to fight that Aldruin dragon. Weren't all of the people there to help you fight the dragon, dragonborns? That's what I thought. Maybe I just misunderstood something.
I don't think it has as much to do with men being stronger, in the game, as much as it is old world customs where men were always gods and women just their servants. Even if there were female dragonborns, they probably would have left it out of the history books. I mean, if the game is anything like real life and real history.
First paragraph: Delphine? No, she is not a dragonborn. She is a Blade.
Second Paragraph: No comment, except that's false. Real life does NOT apply to video games - fiction is fiction. The Greybeards say that all Dragonborns are easily forgotten if they never achieve anything. If there were other female Dragonborns ever born at all, then surely at least some of them did something to make them memorable... nobody even remembers Alessia's actual name, but they do remember the person, and that the person was a woman.
-
Whatever. So we have the dragonborn Alessia. Anyone else, or would that be it?
And actually, the Imperials are largely but not entirely based on the Roman Empire.

Alright a bit off topic then back on, Historicly men have been stronger then women, hence all the wars being faught by the muscle bound meatheads. But as Lechar mentioned this is goddamned fantasy! if theres a 6 foot green man next to you reality tends to been thrown out the window!
More off topic, I think the birth rates in men is actually higher, it makes sence from an evelutionary standpoint, hunter's tend to get more mauled more often then others, and hunter's were i think almost entirly men, plus factor in all the wars we've had and the need for more male births becomes obvious to me, someone mentioned to me the posibility of plauge, etc leveling the playing field but plauges, etc kill everyone equily.
That is the one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. No - naturally, it's totally 50/50. The male's gamete is what determines the sex of the offspring. He produces an equal 50/50 amount of gametes, half containing an X chromosome (leading to female offspring) and the other half a Y chromosome (leading to male offspring). The balance really only gets thrown off when people purposely disrupt it, i.e sex-selective abortions.
I think, statistically, it might be a bit more likely to have a male Dragonborn. I've seen enough people get upset over the "strong Nord women" thing in Whiterun, so I don't think it would have been very relateable for the lore or the player for the game to praise some amazing female hero. Dragonborn or not, it's not entirely realistic. The lore of TES is weird enough with Daedric Princes who are actually female, but referred to still as Princes. However, beyond the whole "men of legends" s***, men and women both are very prevalent in the armies of Skyrim. Half the Thalmor you meet are women, and the Thalmor are supposed to be one of the most powerful forces in Tamriel, at least when it comes to mortals.
Physically, woman are weaker. Women's bodies are actually built pretty well in the legs and thighs, but still, physically, our muscles don't work the way a the muscles on a man do. Our bodies produce hormones, while a man produces testosterone. It's the same for pretty much every living thing on Earth, so the excuse that "because it's fantasy," doesn't really work. An Orc woman might beat out a human, regardless of gender, but an orc man is even stronger. It's a physical thing; women were built to nurture, men to protect his resources - women, children, etc. That's how it worked at the very start of humanity, and hell, we haven't moved very far off.
Edit: Stump, actually, the Y chromosome has slowly been decreasing in birth rates, which means more and more girls are being born. Some actually blame this on how dependent our diets are on foods modified with hormones. I think the current state of the population is 55.6% females? But that may be way off.
Uhh... testosterone IS a hormone. And actually, the excuse that "it's fantasy" DOES work because... it's fantasy, not reality, it's make-believe and therefore we use our imaginations. "Rules" of reality do not apply to fantasy, so human physiology doesn't have to be applied to make believe people and creatures. In this world of make believe an Orc woman can very well be as strong as a man - same with Khajiits, Argonias, the whole lot of them. But even in real life a woman could easily be as strong as any man if she has the motivation to work at it. You should meet a friend of mine - she's in the military, and she's ludicrously strong in both upper and lower body. She can bench press 300 pounds and can best almost any man in a wrestling match.
And no, that really isn't true. The Y is small, but it has not "lost" and genes at least since we diverged from chimpanzees millions of years ago.
ummm, women are weaker... Testosterone is higher in males... so it just makes sense for males to be predominantly more appropriate for warriors and any type of aggressive activity.
I would like to point out that in my ancestors culture (the celts) women were just as bad ass as the men. Their three main war deities were goddesses. There was a traditional of females teaching the men how to fight. Society was matriarchal, lineage passed through the mother. Several of the most notable celtic warriors were women - Boudicca for instance, and the Pirate Queen Grainne.
Not related to the celts, but in ancient sumeria, the death god was female... and the sun deity in japan (which is usually male elsewhere), was female.
So lets stop the women are the weaker sex nonsense.
How do the deities and beliefs of your culture prove that women are "as strong as men"? It's a fact, a physical fact that can not be disproven, and it's true for most mammals. Why does an elephant become aggressive when he enters musk? Because testosterone is being produced in excess. The same thing occurs within stags. Testosterone effects many male traits - body hair, muscle tone and growth. It also effects aggression. You know what produces the most testosterone on a living being? The testicles. On the other hand, hormones effect things like breast growth, and when a woman hits menopause, or experiences menstration, the hormone levels produced by the uterus change - altering body fat, emotions, and other physical factors.
Women don't grow the way men do, it's a fact that's been hard-wired in since our caveman days, when women would focus on breast feeding and rearing children, and men would gather, hunt, and protect what was seen as "vital resources". As such, women had no need to develop huge forms of muscles. Without a ton of testosterone, a woman STILL can't get close to what a man can get to in muscle mass. Physically, the majority of woman are weaker than men. Female bodies don' have the strength of male bodies. Throwing around that your culture revered women as beings of power is like saying we should worship certain animals such as cows and cats as being stronger than they actually are, simply because the Egyptians thought they represented an ideal, or power, or unseen force. It's culture, not actuality. Physically, a woman is weaker than a man because they don't produce even close to the amount of testosterone. Not to mention women are often smaller; hands, feet, height, etc.
He was pointing out the physical, and it's true; our science and history back it up. Women are the (physically) weaker sex.
Yeah, no, you're being extremely close minded and clearly have not studied what you are talking about in any depth. Early human women did not just sit around all day doing absolutely nothing but raising kids - they too would forage and hunt and make stone tools, etc. Do you honestly think males could have managed every little thing on their own? No, they couldn't have. In a small, isolated tribal community, each and every person has to do a share of the physical work in order to survive. In regards to physical strength, men dominate in upper body, but women completely dominate in lower body strength. Each comes with its own uses and advantages in any environment, and every individual is perfectly capable of any sort of physical activity if they take the initiative to do so. You should study anthropology; you'll really learn a lot.
It was by no means physical strength that got the human race to where we are. It's a pretty mundane thing, really: just look at orangutans... they're just an average intelligence primate like any other, even though they are many times stronger than any human being and could tear and adult man to pieces. (heck, it wasn't even our brains that got us to where we are: it was our ability to adapt to different and changing environments)
But whatever, I don't really care because this IS NOT what my post was about at ALL and I'd like for it to stop. It's a video game and I was asking a simple question about lore. Chill.
