  1. Argonians are not allowed inside Windhelm. They are forced to live in a single small building on the docks. Dunmer may have around the same number as the nords in the city, but they are still banned from living outside the grey quarter, which is a very small area for that many people, and have little or no protection from the city guards. As for Riften....They support the Stormcloaks, so I would assume some of it's leaders share Ulfric's view on non-nords. So it, like Windhelm would be a haven for biggots and it makes since for them to treat non-nords like second class citizens.
  2. FTFY... Why am I not surprised? Good old rumour and gossip. Trumps facts every time. No real evidence of this either. Maybe so but it's apples and oranges and hardly relevant to either the topic or the current discussion. Cute is hardly the word that anyone in their right mind would apply to a broke down old man of 66 winters. As for the Occupy movement, looks like I struck a nerve there but for me it was just a convenient way to point to the cultural and social divide that seems to creep into every conversation on any subject these days. I suspect that despite the disclaimer, the reference to George Wallace in a discussion about racism is hardly coincidence. It's another example of racism by association. Ulfric never supports any expression of racism, Wallace never overtly says "go get them"; ipso facto they must be the same. By that reckoning Mother Theresa=George Wallace=Ulfric Stormcloak. Now, I don't care what you say...that's cute! I'm not more intelligent than anyone here...in point of fact I admire and look up to Imperistan and BrettM. But it's like the old story of the bear...you don't have to outrun the bear you just have to outrun your buddy. But yes, I think I do have a certain set of moral standards that do not vary depending on whose ox is being gored or what the situation is or whether it is cool and politically correct to take a stand or not. It is relevant. Part of what would justify Ulfric's challenging the HIgh King would be his reasons. He felt that he would make a better high king. The fact that he is a biggot and ignores the suffering of anyone who is not Nord proves this to be wrong. I would rather have a flawed system where all are treated equally (Though I would like to have freedom of religion, and allow the worship of Talos) over a system where only certain people are treated fairly and everyone else are second class citizens.
  3. I know there are a few job mods out there, but I want to see one that works a little better than the ones I have used. The basic premise of the mod, as always, is to add jobs to skyrim that the player can work at to earn gold. Here is a list of jobs that I would like to see... Blacksmith; Clients order weapons and Armor, and you make it to their specifications. The shop you are working for provides all of the leather, steel, iron, ect...that you need. Hunter; You hunt animals and sell the meats and pelts to shopkeepers. You are actually working for certain shops, such as the Drunken Huntsman and sell to them. You could also open your own stall, which would be available to rent in the markets of each city. Messenger/Delivery Boy; Deliver letters, parcels, ect...to and from clients. Bard; Play lutes, drums, and flutes to earn gold in taverns. The job requires you to play a mini game in order to keep your music in tune. The better you play, the more gold you make. City Guard; You work for the City Guard, and go on patrols. You can arrest, and sometimes kill, people who break the law. Bartender/Cook; Make food/drinks for customers, using recipes and ingredients found at the bar. I would like to see the cooking system enhanced to include many more recipes and ingredients, and also more cooking types, such as actual ovens for baking bread, sweet rolls, ect. Guild/Bodyguard; Take people from 1 city/location to another. Protect them from bandits, wild animals, and other hostile creatures.
  4. I myself have decided to use the Cliffside Retreat location for my player home. I'm going to remove the shack and build me a mansion into the mountain.
  5. Uh, prove it? Ulfric doesn't like foreigners this is true, but he has never abused them. The worst treatment a foreigner can expect is to be ignored. This isn't a good trait, but it really isn't that big of a fault either. So, you think foreigners being ignored is worse than allowing Thalmor agents to violently interrogate/kill your people at will? That's what you're arguing. You assume incorrectly. Ulfric simply doesn't care for foreigners. If he truly took some perverse pleasure in the suffering of elves, he wouldn't allow them to live within his city. Or anywhere near it. Many people in Windhelm say that he will let anyone who isnt Nord suffer, and not lift a finger to help. There is an old saying....."The most evil man in the world is a good man that does nothing in the face of evil." The fact that he is content letting innocents suffer because they are different than he is makes him unfit to be High King or Jarl. Both sides are right and wrong.........The Empire is wrong for allowing the Dominion to dictate the religious rights of it' people. The Stormcloaks are wrong because they are biggots, who hate anyone who isnt Nord.
  6. Problem is that most sponsors don't want to be seen as promotors of some of the things Rush says. They have been dropping him ever since he called what's her name a flirt on the air and claimed that any woman who uses birth control is a prostitute. No company wants to be assoicated with s*** like that because woman buy 90% of all products in America. You don't want to be assoiacted with a guy who says bad things about the people you sell things to. They might stop buying.

  8. That would be cool. Multiplayer arena battles that don't intefere with the single player games. With leaderboards and everything. There could be prizes, such as original armor and weapons and items that you can take into your single player game, and gold that can be used in single player. And players can watch fights and bet gold from their single player games on them.
  9. I have another idea.... Pack Saddles; I rarely ride my horse, but I always need a place to keep stuff when my inventory, and my companion's is full. I would like to see pack saddles, with full inventories to be available to place on horses. The horses would work as a second companion, following the player around and aiding in combat.
  10. I would like to see some new textures for the soups and stews. They should be made to look like different ones, and not just the same ones over and over
  11. Beth is not developing the MMO. They licensed it to another company. ES VI is being planned as we speak.
  12. Actually, I meant an arena like in oblivion, not quake arena type gameplay.
  13. There's nothing wrong with paying money to give your company an edge. I find it weird that they did not pay to have it released on windows PC's early too.
  14. I want to list a few things I want to see in future Skyrim DLC. 1; Return to Solstheim Solstheim is has always been a Nord settled island. You can not tell me that the Nords stopped settling there are the events of Bloodmoon. It would be cool to see how it's changed over the years. 2; The Great War This is less of an expansion and more of a bonus game. You play as a soldier in the Great War, and fight against the Dominion. 3; Arena I want to see a fully realized arena. It should have one-on-one, and team combat. It should also be limited to martial weapons only, with no magic used. There should be no deaths, with a spell being cast over the arena that limits wounds to non-fatal ones, and there should be horse races and jousting, with lances being added to the game.
  15. I spent an hour trying to joust with the headless horseman before reallizing he couldnt be killed.
  16. In my honest opinion, the duel between Ulfric and Torygg was legitimate. Ulfric challenged and the High-King accepted. It was an honorable kill. However, my reasons for disliking Ulfric are for his biggotry and hatred for anyone who is not a Nord, and not for any lack of honor in combat. it is said many times in the game that Ulfric enjoys the suffering of non-Nords, and will not lift a finger to aid non-nords in his Hold. These people are still citizens of Skyrim, even if they are not Nords. So, Ulfric's lack of caring for their suffering makes me think that, not only is he not fit to be High-King, but he is not fit to be jarl of Wiindhelm either. The Empire may not be perfect, but they do not sit around laughing about dark elve children being murdered by bandits, the way, I assume based on what is said about him in the game, Ulfric would.
  17. I want to know what everyone thinks should be the plot, setting, ect for Fallout 4. When it comes to a setting, I have several ideas........ 1; Detroit; 2; New York City; 3; Chicago; 4; The Commonwealth (Boston); After playing Fallout 3, and meeting Harkness, I always wanted to see the Commonwealth. 5; Hong Kong; It would be interesting to see how China ended up after the war. You can not tell me that America did not launch at least some nukes when they realized China had launched theirs. 6; New California Republic; It would be fun to see what is going on in southern california since Fallout 1 and 2. The plot would depend on the setting.. The only plot Idea I have is for the Commonwealth setting. If the commonwealth is used, the player can become involved in a war between the Institute and the Railroad. The player chooses to either help the Railroad take down the Institute, or help the Institute take down the Railroad and recapture the android that they've free. Dr Li could make an appearance, I am assuming with the Railroad, and so could Harkness, who could return north to help other Androids escape, sorta like Harriet Tubbman). The only Commonwealth location ever revealed, to my knowledge, is the Institute. So, Bethesda would have a clean slate in creating post war Boston.
  18. I havent checked to see if there are any on here, or on SW yet, but I want horse combat. I want to be able to shoot a short bow from a horse, or use a sword or one handed axe, or even a lance, while riding.
  19. 1; Improved roads I asked for this before. I would like some wider, better paved main roads. 2; Wagons/Carriages I want to see drivable/rideable wagons and carriages. This request is part of the reason I want better roads, so there is enough room for wagons going both ways. I would like this mod to include traveling merchants, with caravans, and the player can raid them, or even work as guards and protect them. 3; Improved College of Winterhold I would like to see the College extended and remodeled to look more like a school. More buildings, classrooms, ect... 4; Playable Intruments With Minigame I would like to see the Bard College actually take on some actual purpose, with the player being able to learn how to play the lute, flute, ect, and able to play for money in inns. When you play, you have to play a button matching minigame. 5; Arena I would like to see a full arena, simular to Oblivion's arena, with betting. I would also like to see horseraces added to the Arena events. 6; Functional training equipment I want to see training dummies, and targets that actually give experience when used. I would say they should give 1/4 experience compared to combat.
  20. One of the warriors in WIndhelm talks about it. He says that Ulfric is always the first to send aid to Nords in trouble, but will never lift a finger to help non-nords. He says there are people suffering throughout Windhelm Hold and Ulfric does not care because they are elves, argonians, ect. The best quote from him is..."In Ulfric's mind, there two types of people....Nords, and everyone beneath them."
  21. The Nords have been challenged by EVERY OTHER RACE. They have reasons to be racist, I highly agree on all of the racism the Stormcloaks have. Ulfric has lived through the times where Skyrim suffered because of other races, and he only can trust his own. If a race of Elven warlords came into Skyrim, and you lived inside as a Nord, and these elves took Skyrim and enslaved everyone, wouldn't you be racist towards them? I know I would. The Nords have done their share of unwarranted attacks on other races. So other races have reason to hate them as well........Such as the Foresworn....the Nords stole their land...... The Nords stole Skyrim from the elves to begin with......... The fact that Ulfric openly ignores the suffering of anyone who is not a nord is why I hate him.....No it's more than that, he does not just ignore it.....He takes pleasure in the suffering of all non-nords. He would laugh if he saw a dark elf child being murdered in the street.......He is not fit to rule......He is a pathetic excuse for a man and is a horrible person in general. You seem to not know much right now. The Reach Natives were torturing the Nords, and Ulfric attacked them to stop the events. The Elven slave trade began during the Great War, and the Nords stopped the lines and stole for redemption. They heavily affected the Elven tradelines during the war, supporting the Empire in great ways, but the Imperials turned their backs on them. The Nords attacked the Foresworn years before that, and stole the land from them. This happened years before Ulfric was born. What the Foresworn did was payback for things done to them when the Nords first attacked them. As for the Elven slave trade. It began years before the Great War.....centuries.....
  22. OOOOOOOOOOO A "The Most Dangerous Prey" type story.............Big island, and you have to hunt a bunch of people, or survive while being hunted.

  24. Ulfric is a racist peice of crap. He would let anyone who is not a Nord suffer and die, and laugh about it afterwards. He is not fit to be a king, or even a jarl The Empire may not be perfect, but it is not led by a xenophobic a**hole, at least.
  25. that would make sense. There could be a peaceful way of doing it as well. The mod could make use of the Thalmor Embassy that Bethesda left empty.
