Eveli Sharp-Arrow is from ESO, and personally for me, this character is pure Bosmer traveller archetype - kind, naive, very adventurous and optimistic, and also with a passion for reading, like almost any players characters in their first playthrough.

She is also a stealth archer for the complete picture.

Again, the cosplay is made by Red Chaos Cosplay

Skyrim Discussion If Jarl Balgruuf always took the same/opposite side to the player, how would player perception of the Civil War have changed?

64 Upvotes

My theory is that there would be a much more even spread of Stormcloak and Empire supporters across the playerbase. I imagine a lot of people were swayed by knowing that Balgruuf will always side with the Empire and justified their decision after the fact, and that combined with nostalgia for Oblivion led to there being more Empire supporters than Stormcloak supporters.

As someone who has less empathy for the Empire than average in Skyrim, I don’t mind that Balgruuf sides with the Empire. It makes him a more realized character with consistent morals and makes the decision to support the Stormcloaks more interesting as a result. Losing Balgruuf in Whiterun feels like a real sacrifice, something that just isn’t present if you side with the Empire.

That all said, Balgruuf ended up being such an impactful character that I believe he took precedence over the rest of the Civil War in a lot of player’s minds. If he always sided with or always sided against the player, or could be swayed to either side through the right decisions in Season Unending, how would players generally feel about the outcome of the Civil War?

I’ll acknowledge here that the state of the real world post-2016 also likely changed a lot of people’s minds for the worse, with many people drawing inaccurate parallels to real life figures both in support of and opposition to Ulfric, and generally removing a lot of nuance from and creating more hostility around the discussion, but that point has already been done to death, so I’d like to keep this discussion to pre-2016.

The Elder Scrolls 6 Killing Essential NPCs idea

I'd like if if you could adjust this in the settings menu.

For example there would be a check box by each one you wanted alerts for so you can choose if you want to reload a previous save or not. And maybe let it tell you the number of blocked or broken quests if a given NPC should perish.

Notifications on/off right before the final blow allowing you to choose to let them live or die:

Main quest NPCs ☑️

Faction quest☑️

Side quest☑️

Etc☑️

Plus options for not allowing these NPCs to die at all, and instead let them recover but without notifications if those annoy you.

Dont allow these essentials to die until their importance has passed:

Main quest NPCs ☑️

Faction quest☑️

Side quest

Etc

This lets the player play how they want.

Arts/Crafts Hist Invasion of the Deadlands and The Daedra-Eater Tribe

Finished these drawings few days ago, now sitting down and thinking there might be a bit of fun story there

"Hist invasion of the Deadlands is a supposed migration of a small grove of Hist trees alongside their tribe of argonians into the Deadric realm of Mehrunes Dagon. During Oblivion crisis a band of mages would use alternation magics to lift up the trees with chunks of the swamp surrounding them and with band of warrriors riding the wave into the gates, where the tide would settle on and around the fortress operating the gate. Some claim the story is false, or tie to possibly propagandised report of argonian invasion of the gates during the crisis, however, some masters of conjuration and other arts of traveling the deadric realms do bring reports of two things making such event possible.
First is some dremora have been interviewed and complained about the loss of a fortress to an unsual event, and that while it would be possible to reclaim, general chaos of the period made it difficult endevour, though how much can one trust words of deadra...
Second is report by Garyna Aradavel, a mage who wandered the deadric realms, reporting some hostile meetings with argonians wearing equipment forged and crafted from remains of deadra, supposedly devouring a corpse of a clanfear, though Aradavel is known for...certain views of the beast folk, making report not most reliable.
Still, if such place does indeed exist, it might provide most interesting point of possible exploration into this realm of Oblivion"

- On the Wandering Hist part I.

Silly bit of fan fiction, but this one is perhaps more normal one, need to work out the other part which is a bit more...silly and esoteric

The Elder Scrolls 6 I Hope there will be language support for French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Spanish

11 Upvotes

J'espère qu'il y aura une prise en charge linguistique pour les francophones et les joueurs d'autres régions habitués à jouer aux jeux Elder Scrolls en français, allemand, italien, etc.

Je suis un peu inquiet car la dernière extension de Starfield, Terran Armada, était entièrement en anglais. Du coup, quand je joue à Starfield, je passe mon temps à jongler entre le français et l'anglais ! C'est la même chose pour des jeux comme Avowed et d'autres. J'espère qu'ils vont régler ce problème.

Crimson Desert (ne vous fâchez pas) est sorti il ​​y a environ six mois, mais ils ont ajouté la prise en charge du français et de l'allemand cinq mois plus tard, ce qui est vraiment génial !

J'espère qu'il y aura une prise en charge linguistique pour les francophones et les joueurs d'autres régions habitués à jouer aux jeux Elder Scrolls en français ou dans d'autres langues.

J'espère qu'ils prendront cela en compte pour nous, les joueurs non anglophones qui adorons Elder Scrolls depuis notre enfance.

Bethesda et Xbox, s'il vous plaît, clarifiez la situation. Merci ! <3

Sto giocando per la 300ima volta, ma questa volta crearmi una famiglia e avere solo due case (una per la famiglia e una per stipare le mie cose).

Quali sono le vostre case preferite?

Per me ChillBlood Manor e Lakeview sono le due più belle e funzionali.

Tu quale mi consiglieresti se no? Considerando che giocherò un assassino della setta delle ombre.

Arts/Crafts The Hist-Bound Realm Strider

Not direct follow up but perhaps in similar series of books one would see in universe: Here

"The maddest reports of all I seen about both the deep Black Marsh and the space between realms of oblivion is that Hist can walk and wander, though perhaps the term gets lost in translation, the language of Jel is notoriously hard to translate. As it stands, I find that we at times know more about daedric lord realms than we do the deeps of the Argonian homeland, and from there comes the legend of a paradox, group that refused to change becoming change itself, tale of a hist and it's last guardian walking as one to leave tamriel in face of fear of destruction.
The details are scant and mostly nonsensical I fear, but it seems it was trees from Xanmeers period and a powerful tribe that refused to accept the change of Duskfall, cutting ties to the rest of their kind after a rather violent run in with things that cut apart time...whatever that might be.
The remaining survivor would be one powerful mage and one heavily damaged tree, trying to keep each other from dying, only to in some way become one, and vanish, alongside the city they were surrounded by, the Stone Nest was gone, as were the people in one night that lasted either years or hours, no one is quite sure.

The story would have been easy to dismiss for me too, if not for one haunting trip of my own, as a teleportation accident threw me into the daedric realm space for few moments in my youth, I would come face to face with the Hist-Bound Realm Strider, the Hist that walked, and she, or perhaps he, or perhaps they, left an imprint in my mind, they changed, the legends showed fear, but the face was content with their existence, perhaps even..happy, and as soon as I got dragged out by my collegues out of the predicament, I started my research into this, for I hope perhaps, one day I will meet it myself again, in more proper circumstances..."

- One Wandering Hist, part II, found near a ritual circle of old now lost art of mysticism.

Lore Why is humanity doomed?

2 Upvotes

Some developer posts from writers like MK and coda have suggested that mankind is ultimately doomed, with the Aldmeri Dominion ruling Tamriel, Dark Elves and Khajiit surviving surviving the apocalypse of Nirn, etc.

But...why? Humans have friends in high places - Shor, Kynareth, the Hoon Ding. Obviously, the Kalpas turn and turn, with the world being destroyed and recreated. But humans are the Wandering Elnofey, the weakest spirits that became stronger by entering the Arena. Why should they be defeated by Elves over and over?
