I just want one plain vanilla Elder Scrolls game on Mac.

I don't care if it's the buggiest port of the oldest game in the series.

I expected December, but I was hoping for the 12th.

I WILL RIDE EVERY DRAGON AND KILL EVERY CLIFF RACER LEFT IN MORROWIND. I DON'T CARE IF I HAVE TO MOD THE REST OF IT IN.

I'm going to hang out in all the Telvanni Towers, beat up a bunch of Ashlanders - BUT FOR YOU CLIFF RACERS, I PROMISE YOU PAINFUL EXTINCTION.

Jiub already killed all the cliffracers man.

>MOTHER
>FUCKING
>MORROWIND
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAH

So... are we talking an entirely new CONTINENT here to roll around in? As in ALL of Marrowind?
If so I am hyped as shit. Snowy mountains were getting a little boring.

Makes sense, my Dragonborn has basically conquered Skyrim, he's taken care of every major threat and become about as strong as he can possible be, he's become a hero with no evil left to fight and no adventure left to have.

A holiday to Morrowind sounds like just the thing to stave off the soul-crushing boredom, maybe I should bring the wife?

>>165562
I thought it was just Solstheim

>>165560
Dragons come back, Dovakin come back. It's only a matter of time until they come back now that there is no more Jiub to slay them.

My understanding of the lore is that most, if not all, of VVvardenfell was destroyed after the Oblivion Incident except for a bit the Telvani saved. I think Mainland Morrowind was also conquered by Skyrim and the Black Marsh?

So yes between that and the trailer, I'd say it's just Solstheim and maybe that little bit of Telvani territory.

>>165575
The gates opened up all over. Nearly every city and town fell that wasn't the head city for a house or a faction. Save for the Redoran cities which actually put up a decent fight. Everyone still alive in the southern end of Vvardenfell fell back to Ghostgate in hopes that the combined forces of the Buoyant Armigers and the remaining forces they had could hold.

After this the Nords and Orcs attacked and Vivec disappeared. Vivec's absence caused the Ministry of Truth, a space rock the god previously stopped from crashing into the the planet, to once again begin its descent eventually crashing into the city and causing Red Mountain to explode. With the volcano awake again the Telvanni erected a giant magic bubble around their fifth of the landmass to preserve it from the destruction.

After that was all over the Argonians attacked with a massive force. The remaining native Dunmer were forced to scatter and give up their land, the largest grouping of them making home in Solstheim.

>>165580
Argonians, however, weren't interested in holding the land if I heard it right.

>>165587
I just checked the wiki, and apparently most of the non-Telvanni territory is under Argonian control and The Infernal City laid it out mostly as volcanic marshes. So, really, most Argonian gained territory are places where only an Argonian could thrive anyway.

Also, apparently SPEARS. SPEARS GUYS.

>>165551
WHATEVER MAN! IT'S NEVER GOING TO COME OUT ON PS3 ANYWAY!
*goes off yell angry thing with tear filled eyes*

>>165570
The cliffracers are the true threat of the DLC, THE FIRST DRAGONBORN Lich dude will only be a sublot.

Only one man can finally eradicate this menace,

The CliffRacer-Born!

>>165605
Fus Ra SKREEEE!

She still draws Khajiit like dog people.

>>165630
She can't draw shouts under a certain length. It makes her uncomfortable.

>>165631
So only single word shouts, then?

>>165632
Well. At least n is close to h.

As exited as I am the fact leveled enemy stats exists in the game is still a massive turnoff. Either break the game and make stupidly overpowered weapons or spend the next hour spamming the same attack over and over again.

Simply adding bits of Morrowind does not actually make it Morrowind

But it looks so cool...

How is this Morrowing time?

>>165667
You see, Solstheim is like the Istanbul of Skyrim and Morrowind.

I want to go to Akavir already.

I'M READY FOR ALL THE CRAZY YOU'VE GOT TODD, WHY WON'T YOU GIVE IT TO ME!?

>>165680
The last time Todd got crazy he turned jungle-Roman Cyrodils into generic fantasy Europe. Todd is not allowed to go crazy because he is shit and does retarded things. We need to get Michael Kirkbride and ply him with LSD and let him go crazy.

>>165680
But we haven't even see the woodelves become flesh Voltron or slaughtered the High Elves pet monkeys yet.

Is he?

>>165697
Da'wwww~
It looks like a cute little elefant head.

>>165697
Despite that being the last mask you need the others to unlock I don't really use it, I stuck with the one that gives you I think it was thirty% all elemental damage reduction, it was the main thing I was missing enchantment-wise

It annoys me you can't reverse-pickpocket armour onto people in this game and have them put it on, there's some people I'd feel more at ease with them better protected.
(Plus it would be pretty hilarious to see a bunch of farmers in daedric platemail)

>>165702
Well I meant what if the Dragonborn is Konahrik.

>>165829
Seems pretty possible, alot of people are speculating that.

This isn't Dragonborn related but its still about DLC.

JESUS the Vampire Lord form is powerful, even without any of the perks I've decimated things just by spamming the lifedrain blast

>>165952
If only they paid as much attention to the Werewolf tree...

>>165952
I didn't like it at all. Werewolf felt a lot more powerful.
I do like that Harkon clearly has his Vampire Lore tree filled out though.

>>165952
Same poster.

Serana has started following me about and I've noticed my lifedrain is doing pissall for damage, is it true that it gets nerfed while she is with you? Or have I just ran into stronger bandits and such so it seems so much weaker.

Any idea when we're going to get more info on dragonborn

>>166054
Maybe in a month.

You know what I would like to see in one of the DLC new expansions? A way to redo your perks and other level choices.

It would be sort of like the face changer in Riften that lets you change your appearance,
maybe make it a quest you can undertake, the reward is it gives you a one-time chance to shuffle your points about.

>>166731
I took Arvak to the throat of the world.
Before I even visited the Greybeards for the first time.
Turns out, that quest glitches if you enter through the back door.

Is it still a stereotype if its completely accurate?

I think I've officially played too much Skyrim,

I've actually went and levelled my original save up to lvl 81.

There's just no sane reason to get to that level beyond being a completionist.

>>166755
It's like I'm watching an episode of American Gypsies.

>>166054
http://www.theouthousers.com/index.php/news/119304-skyrim-dragonborn-dlc-details.html

>>166779
But you get the achievement for fighting a Legendary Dragon.
It's the only one I have left.

>>166830
You don't need to be level 81 to fight a legendary Dragon, I did it alot earlier than that.

So soon...why can't it be the day after today...

>>166830
>>166779
I've heard there's meant to be a quest in Dragonborn that you can undertake once your character is at the highest level.

So with new DLC comes new lies.

>>167082

>>167082
... so it's not worth the time and/or money?

>>167084

Dunno about that spoil sport anon, but I'm having a blast.

>>167084
Its worth It so far, and I'm not near finished yet

[[Image is obviously spoilers for Dragonborn]]

I loathe the Daedric Lord's so much, and Mora has made it into my top three.

Goddammit they're about the only thing in the universe I'm not strong enough to stab and shout to death to boot!

Huh you end up with alot of new summon spells/powers in this dlc, Anyone else finding them useful? I've mainly just been sticking with Conjure Dremora Lord which has been my goto mook ever since I had enough magika to cast it.

>>167185
I wonder, too.
I always forget about Call of Valor and Summon Dragon, but Durnehviir has his own summoning shout so summoning him is like summoning a small army.
It's fun.

You know if there was an expansion or whole new game based around taking things back to the Thalmor on their own turf it would be cool if it featured the Maormer.

The fluff about them sounds awesome, and they ARE eternal enemies of the Altmer

>>167282
The Aldmeri Dominion has interesting politics. Sea serpent riding chameleon elves, necromantic Daedra-worshipping giant sea-slugs, and pretty much the entire continent of Tamriel as enemies. For allies they have the shapeshifting, cannibalistic wood elves and pet talking giant apes.

Really, the elder scrolls has interesting, if crazy, lore, and we're stuck with Cyrodil and Vikingland as games. It's like they're afraid to do anything we haven't seen in video games before.

>>167283
The Thalmor have alot of strange and impressive looking enemies in thier homelands, the race odd-looking sea elves and thier sea serpents of war, the slug-like Sload nation. They also have interesting allies, the ape-like Imga who venerate the Altmer and wear fancy cloaks to try and be more like them.

Sending the Dragonborn to launch a one-wo/man commando war to weaken the Thalmor or simply search thier nation for something of importance would be a great chance to finally show off all these intereasting cultures

Though if we're talking people who are awesome and need more screentime I say bring back EBONARM, The Black Knight, Man-God of War! Its impressive enough that he went from Nede Hero to War God, the fact he replaced an arm lost in battle with an ebony sword and rides around on a golden stallion named WAR MASTER is just icing in the cake

>>167285
There's always The Elder Scrolls Online, though that's a ways off.

>>167288
Fuck no, that looks awful. Plus its an MMORPG.

>>167290
Really? What's wrong with it?

>>167220
Durnehviir is awesome, I'm making heavy use of him in my second save where I basically do everything opposite of my first playthrough. Also make heavy use of the Soul Tear shout since I did the quest much earlier in the game its the most powerful, and only three word, shout I have at the moment.

So how long until there's a Game of the Year All Years Complete Everything Ever is in This Edition edition? I still don't have it ;_;

>>167283
Many places remain unexplored, what of mysterious Akavir for another?

>>167310
Yeah, Soul Tear is really strong.

Ooh, I got a greatsword that shoots sword beams.
>Need to slash a beam horizontally into the wall
>Forget that I take a huge step when I do a sideways power attack
>Take a mighty swing into Kharjo
Fortunately, I suck with two handed weapons so he hardly felt it.
Aw, Chaos Damage is the only new enchantment. When I thought it, I got excited thinking there might be more enchantments.

>>168408
God that sword IS freakin awesome...

I don't use two-handers either, and the beam itself isn't all THAT strong...but still, fuckin SWORD BEAMS! JUST LIKE IN MY JAPANESE ANIMES!

>>168410
I imagine there'd be confusion as to what would happen during a dual wield power attack if it were one-handed.

>>168488
SWORD BEAMS FUCKING EVERYWHERE JESUS CHRIST!

>Fighting Miraak
When he's low on health, he becomes etheral, uses whirlwind sprint to escape and then absorbs the soul of a dragon to restore his health.
This is so cool.

Dragonborn is likely going to be the last official Skyrim expansion, right?

Its content sort of gives that feeling.

>>168538
Yeah, I don't know what tops that.

>>168566
Going Rambo on the Thalmor on thier home turf

>Competitive with Dragon armor, but lighter and uses the Ebony perk
Ooh.

>>168573
This is probably my absolute most-wanted plot for a future expansion.

Man, 3 words and I only get the upper body of a dragon.
Why no Dragon Legs.

Oh man, I just had my first Dragon Riding Dragon Battle, that's so fun.
I was eager to try it out and Bended Will the first Dragon that got close.
My Frost Dragon fought bravely but died to the Revered Dragon.
Still got both souls though.
Good thing we landed before he died.

You assholes are all making me super jelly. This needs to hurry up and come out on PC already.

It's annoying that there's no dialogue option to be all Hey Devin, I met your brother Glover in Raven Rock, how about that?
Though you can let Sapphire know Glover is her father, so that's cool.

Still no Legendary Dragons to fight.
And I raised *all* of my mage skills to 100.
Stupid Restoration mission glitched me out of Guardian Circle, which is what I wanted anyways.
Who needs Bane of the Undead.

J'Zargo won't use staves.
They did this on purpose, they make the capless follower obsess about the weakest spell.

>>168969
There's also a bunch of mods that let you trade dragon souls for perk points and more.

Why am I wearing such a silly hat.

I want to pet you

Hey I got a question about the Elder Scrolls universe, are the different player/civilized species capable of interbreeding? Do you ever see characters of such unions in any games?

I've only played Skyrim and heard vague things on the subject in general, so I'm confused on if that is a thing that happens or not.

>>169530

It's not wildly discussed in "polite society", which is the excuse the game producers give to avoid it altogether. But they have touched on it.

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Notes_on_Racial_Phylogeny

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Agronak_gro-Malog

A few of the races, like Bretons, are suggestions to be mixes of Mer (which Orcs technically are) and Men. "Phylogeny" is still your best reference for this, as well as the Lore entry on Races in the UESP.

>>169530
>>169542
Actually, isn't there a in game book that goes over that very subject?
I'm sure I've run across one while playing.

>>169552
Yes, that would be Notes of Racial Phylogeny.
Also Tiber Septim didn't want a long-living half-dark elf child to mess up his own childrens' right to inheritance so he had his child with Barenziah aborted.

>>169542
The games seem to go out of their way to avoid showing alot of the 'interesting' things relating to the different species, like all the different varieties of Khajit, or some of the awesome races and cultures mentioned in the fluff but never having appeared onscreen.

>>169584
Yeah, that's pretty much the Elder Scroll's lot - anything that really breaks out of the Tolkein-ized standard of medieval fantasy is relegated to fluff, never shown and rarely spoken of.

>>169600
I think this is why Morrowind is so much better than Oblivion and Skyrim (although Skyrim is also good, just in different ways). Vvardenfell is so completely alien, and once you get over Morrowind's couple entry barriers (usually by modding them out, like dice roll melee combat), it's a blast.

You know what Skyrim needs next?
A quest to learn how to speak Giantish again.
Then you could make friends with the giants, or at least parlay in a non-lethal manner that you are not here to kill their mammoths and maybe we could trade junk for cheese?
Also it would lead to getting a unique giant as a follower! Haha!

5 years from now people will say Skyrim is shit while Oblivion was awesome. They'll say Elder Scrolls VI is the best in the series and then the cycle will continue.

>>170019
...aren't there some people who say that NOW Pulitz?
I have no idea what suddenly brought this on and am left befuddled.

>>170020
I was referencing /v/'s attitude towards almost everything Bethesda makes.

"This new game we thought was amazing a year ago sucks, the one before it we hated a year ago was far superior." It's a bullshit cycle.

>>170021
that's /v/. It's not even that funny anymore. It's just sad.

At anyrate, what the fuck is with the price still being $59.99 on steam? I'd get Skyrim, I liked what I played at a friend's. At least, I'd play this more than Oblivion.

And everyone tells me I'd probably enjoy Khajiit.

>>170058
They can see in the dark.
Well, see in low light conditions.
I think one of the caves in the Dawnguard plot is so dark Night Eye doesn't really do anything.

>>170144
Their claws also give them a bonus to unarmed damage.

>>170058
Does everyone... 'know' something about you? Something you might have not yet admitted to yourself?

Is there any truth to the rumours they are making a new expansion titled 'Redguard'?
I wouldn't mind more adventures in Tamriel, I don't think they would compare in scale to what went down with that first Dragonborn wanker but it would be great to visit a new land...

Heh, maybe we can learn the Pankratosword...

>>171248
That Khajiit is sampling something, man.

>>171299
It's a Khajiit, that goes without saying. You know what those cats are like.

I just want a greater chance to stick it to the Thalmor. Even if it's not enough to crush their regime entirely, then at least seriously hurt their hold on the Empire.

Hell, I'd even settle for an entire expansion devoted to messing with the Thalmor in ways that doesn't actually hurt their holdings, but still pisses them off. Putting fire salts in their shorts, filling their scabbards with honey, smearing their armor with troll mating musk...

>>171312
Bah, you know the next game is going to write the Dragonborn out in some lame fashion like all the rest and the Thalmor will still not get a kicking.

Its sort of annoying having all this power and not having anything to do with it, the only thing you run into is condescending Daedric Prince's.

It would be funny if there was a DLC set in the Summerset Isles.... and if you weren't a Thalmor or at least another kind of Elf that could pass as a Servant so you could subtly undermine the regime every town basically become a battlefield, every loyal soldier and supporter against you.
You'd be the walking apocalypse, Putting the fear of gods into them.

The hero of Skyrim, The Last Weeabooborn!

Super Best Friends in Skyrim: …

Is there another console game quite like Skyrim? (That isn't the previous Elder Scrolls games of course)

I really miss when I was deep into it, but now I've completely played it out, unless they release more content I've literally done everything.

Would you?

So all the Expansions are wrapped up and the Legendary Edition is supposed to come out in June. http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2013/04/25/skyrim-legendary-edition-launches-june-4th/

All DLC new difficulty level and no level caps.

>>173557
Yes.

>>173569
Uh, I've already maxxed out all of my learnable skills, how would I be meant to get any more levels beyond that?

Honestly I'm glad I played the game before I got the DLC, stuff like the vampires interfere with what you've got going on in the main plot, if you wait until you've completed the main game story it just seems to be a case of 'further adventures await'

>>173574
>Uh, I've already maxxed out all of my learnable skills, how would I be meant to get any more levels beyond that?

The latest patch enables the player to make a skill 'legendary'. What that does is reset the skill to its default value, allowing the player to level it up all over again, and getting back all perk points spent on that skill tree. Sadly, making the skill legendary offers no benefit besides removing the level cap, and knocking certain skills down to starting level late in the game necessitates having other high-level skills to switch to. Destruction specialist? Better work on your conjuration so you can summon atronachs to keep the enemy busy while you're back to darting around casting flames.

>>173557
Sure, if I had the body for it. Maybe ditch the hand-cups though.

(polite sage, edit)

>>173582
Oh my... going through it with all the skills again... maxxing them all out again...

Is there, achievements for any of this?

>>173589
At the moment, the only thing you get in recognition of making a skill legendary is a little Imperial dragon insignia near the skill, with a counter to keep track of each additional time you make it legendary.

It makes me sad there's no more content coming out for Skyrim...

>>173665

Telling people to download mods means nothing if they play it on a console.
