It's a proboscis, not a tentacle

>>256711914
No, they literally get a tentacle installed after their face falls off. Give me a minute to dig through imperial-library, there's a book on the process.

just a sec let's get this thread kicked off, give me a moment

>>256711914
Sorry, I misremembered.

>The next step in the evolutionary process of one of Ur's servants is the "Ash Zombie". During this faze the Ash Slaves face becomes brittle and falls off leaving a gaping hole. During this time the servant loses its magical ability but gains considerable strength.

>Next comes the "Ash Ghoul". After a certain amount of time the corprus inside the Ash Zombie starts to grow a strange tentacle like appendage out of the hole in the zombies face. In this form they gain a consideral amount of magical ability and are also very strong fighters. Some of Dagoth Ur's closest compainions are Ash Ghouls.

>The final step would seem to be the "Ascended Sleeper". The tentacle growths inside the ghouls head eventualy completely emerge and a new head is grown where the old one was. These beings are incredibly strong and are the pinicle of what a servant of Dagoth Ur can achieve.

It grows, not gets installed.

but couldn't that same logic replace the word "teleported" with "killed" and it still make sense? Because they were all connected to the heart, wouldn't something going wrong with it cause damage to the whole species?

The most boring answer is that they all died, and yet it's also the most plausible.

The Dwemer ruin in Mournhold has ash piles for every Dwemer that was there. That's what happened to them. They fucking disintegrated into ash instantly.

The reason you only see them in Mournhold is because it's been perfectly sealed since it happened, unlike all the ruins on Vvardenfel that have long since been looted and cleaned out by everything.

OP, you have it backwards

They don't put the tentacle in because their face rotted off, their faces rotted off because the tentacle growing in their head ate its way out.

Here you go, direct from kirkbride:
>"Kagrenac was devoted to his people, and the Dwarves, despite what you may have read, were a pious lot-he would not have sacrificed so many of their golden souls to create Anumidum's metal body if it were all in the name of grand theater.

Oblivion's archery had proper physics applied to it. Skyrim had baked-in arrow arc.

>>256727914
>>256727923

Morrowind had the best magic effects, but the actual combat was ass. Skyrim's magic combat was MUCH more satisfying even when it was lacking the variety of spell effects Morrowind had.

Now if you want to argue that Morrowind had better spellCRAFTING than Skyrim, yes, it did.

>>256728004
>mash m1
>real melee

>>256726263

This is wrong.

They realized they are creations in a game and the writer, knowing that this race now had access to the control console, wiped them from existence. The ghosts in the ruins are memories of the writer.

>>256728090
>no spell making
>no scaling damage
I will agree that it was the most satisfying but the lack of scaling and customization was a huge turn off to me. Especially when my first character was a mage and I struggled the whole game but when I made my first non-mage character the game got a lot more manageable.

MGSO is shit

this is fact.

What do you guys think of dialogue systems (sorry I know that's vague and unhelpful, but you know what I mean) between the three games? I don't just mean persuasion, but just dialogue as well.
I honestly think full voice acting ruined the dialogue in TES. If nothing else it makes modding harder, which is pretty stupid. I didn't enjoy talking to anyone in Oblivion or what little I played of Skyrim. It's just tedious waiting for the dialogue to play out, and completely insubstantial if you skip through it at reading pace.

I always make a character, play for around 12-15 hours, make progress, and suddenly want a new character. But I don't want to drop all that progress I made, either. Plus, if I make a new dude, I'll end up doing a lot of the same quests all over again and they'll still be familiar.

Such are the problems of my life!

If Lord Nerevar was loyal to her, then she would have claim to his soul, which means she could do whatever the fuck she wanted with it

Including reincarnating it at the perfect time

There was a huge discussion before about Sixth House transformations. It's believed that corpus has nothing to do with it, as >>256715146 mentions, especially since that was written by a fan. Notice how most of Ur's worshipers don't actually have corpus. Corpus is the divine disease. Dagoth Ur spreads it so that you seek his aid. He can remove the negative symptoms of corpus and let you rejoice in the rest of the symptoms. At that point, the mutations begin and you begin to see like he sees, live as he lives. People who are part of his cult are often called Dreamers, because he believes he is the dream and all are a part of him. When people are infected, he sends them dreams to join his cult for proper treatment and initiation. Vivec himself states that corpus is controlled by the cult in order to achieve new magical powers and a new form of life.

I don't know the specific reason why it's tentacles but the fact they can play music with the tentacles might relate to the tonal structure of the universe. Not only that but there's likely a symbolic reason why the face falls off, specifically the eyes.

Speaking of the Dwemer, how the fuck did the Chimer or Nords even register as a threat to them with their advanced technology and magic? Why didn't they just straight-up roll over them whenever they got too rambunctious?

>He thinks its a tentacle and not a horn with orifices to sense its surroundings instead of eyes and nose

>>256729271
Whoops, I meant to say corpus has nothing to do with the transformation like the post I quoted claimed it did. Instead I wrote it had nothing to do with the transformations at all, which is dead wrong.

>>256729339
Yes.

>>256729376
If you were the incarnate you would be regardless of your actions. Mantling is following in their footsteps so closely the godhead cannot differentiate between the two so the universe sees in mantler as the mantled.

>>256729249
>>256729339
thanks for both post

>>256729271
But what if corpus is actually a parasite that eventually takes over the whole body

Hence the tentacle growth and head replacement

He gets rid of the "negative effects" by killing the host and letting the parasite have full control of the corpse

At some point the dwemer did have an advantage but go into a dungeon and fight a dwemer machine. They're not as strong as people may think. With the magical prowess of the chimer - remember, these are the same people who establish House Telvanni - and likely having better combat skills due to traveling across Tamriel and being taught how to kill and slaughter by Daedra, the Chimer quickly became a huge problem.

>>256729585

TES only has elves, men and lizards

>>256730054
it depends if you consider tonal stuff to be magic
it technically isn't because 'magic' is defined as manipulation of aetherial energies and tonal stuff is fucking with reality on a base level

It actually rips off quite a bit from eastern religions. In fact, some outfits and concepts are taken straight from eastern cultures and religions. MK studied religion a lot, there's even a bit of Crowley in there.

I'm like 98% sure that we can't see the more impressive Dwemer feats because of lore-gameplay segregation.

I have to imagine that the same race that made robots, and according to Yagrum Bagarn, was able to create a way to travel through dimensions without the use of magic when everyone else just had bows and arrows has some really crazy shit that we just haven't seen

>>256731101
It has a few more aspects of western style. The moving title screen is from Flash Gordon serials and the titles of the movies themselves are reminiscent of classic horror movies. Revenge of the X, Return of the X, The Phantom X, or the X Menace. But there is a lot of Kurosawa influences from the east as well.

So no storyline about him? Is he cut content or something but was left in?

I always made my Dunmer characters have his face once I realized I liked it.

I just played though the Skyrim mod Undeath and there were a lot of references to the King of Worms. I haven't played Morrowind or beaten Oblivion entirely. However, this seems like a good place to ask this:

Who exactly is the King of Worms, what is he, and did he actually ascend to godhood somehow?

I only really know of him from a few books in Skyrim, and that the Necromancer's Amulet was something he used or created.

>>256731517
He holds the bow of shadows, which is enough. He's just a higher level semi-unique NPC, you remember those right?

He dragonbreaked into two people and one of those people is a moon.

>>256731529
Manimarco, the King of Worms, was supposedly an extremely powerful necromancer

In the multiple endings of Daggerfall, he can become either a god, a lich, or just stay a necromancer, depending on which ending you go with

And because all the endings are canon, he can be referred to as any of the three, deepening on which dragonbreak timeline you're in

This is kind of a shitty explanation, so sorry

>>256731529
Mannimarco, the King of Worms
He was a dick-ass Lich, and the main antagonist of Arena
Then you kill him ded for good in the mages guild in Oblivion, because there was no place for him in the game universe anymore, just like the rest of Necromancy

>>256730140
hi trainman how is your game coming along?

>>256731529
It all starts with the Psijic Order, one of the earliest influential groups of mages in history, located on the island of Artaeum(probably misspelled it) in Summerset. Mannimarco was basically a big supporter of necromancy that went way overboard and eventually had an army of necromancers, a cult, and a gajillion undead ready to take over Tamriel. It was Galerion and the Mage's Guild - which Galerion founded - that stepped up and killed Mannimarco. Unfortunately, Mannimarco became the world's first lich - first recorded or what, no one knows- by that time and eventually comes back in Oblivion to be a massive asshole. During the Warp in the West, when time went out of control, one timeline involved him becoming a god. His influence over necromancy is seen in Oblivion, where he grants powers to create black soul gems through the necromancer's moonlight.

>>256732324
Play Dragonborn, but that time, Redoran is the top house in Morrowind, and Blacklight is the new capital.

http://uesp.net/wiki/Lore:The_Red_Year

>Relief efforts began almost a month after the mountain erupted. It was actually a directive that came from the House Redoran councilor that was living in Mournhold at the time. I can't remember his name, but he took charge of the situation and sent soldiers, supplies and able-bodied Dunmer to the outlying settlements that had been hit the hardest. I was sent to Balmora. The place was a mess; hardly anything left in town was still standing. I spent maybe two months there, helping to rebuild the town and getting my fellow Dunmer back on their feet.

if it wasn't for Redoran there literally wouldn't be shit left for the other houses

>>256732472
That's actually really cool then, because the mod was very lore-accurate.

You can even take Grand Soulgems to his Altars and a beam of power will turn them into Black Soulgems.

To be fair, the state of Telvanni is still unknown. We have little information on how much of the mainland was destroyed and despite the Telvanni family - which all of a sudden exists thanks to Skyrim - being wiped out by Argonians, the Argonians attacked from the south while most Telvanni territory is in the upper east. With people like Neloth just popping up and growing new houses, it's likely Telvanni is doing fine. They just don't care about what's going on in the world, especially since many can take care of themselves.

Elder scrolls lore is surprisingly abstract.

Bethesda doesn't know how to properly put it into their games.

>>256733227
Yeah, the thing about the Telvanni being wiped out makes little sense given the actual facts, not to mention the Telvanni actual family is not the head of the house, just the founders, much like how in Morrowind Redoran's Grandmaster was Venim.

>>256733329

Meteors only do around 100-300 damage, don't fight him at a low level.

Occurs when conflicting mods mess with Alduin's AI, thus not letting him execute the parameters needed, loading WEB last usually helps, but so does not using shit like DCO, because it's bad.

No enemies spawn in Alduin's stomach, there are just a lot of them.

Occurs when you swim in the stomach acid, it's how the script works to damage you

They're the most hardcore motherfuckers out there. They're the type of warriors who view Redoran, the most warrior like house as undisciplined kids. This is also the reason for their lack of power - they're too extreme for most dunmer. Dres support the hardest slavery, keep all the old traditions everyone else forgot and even do trade with Sloads. There's nothing these motherfuckers can't survive.

I know anon. I was actually kidding. I was scared shitless by the Silt Strider too.

Um... I found them kawaii since the moment I started the game

>>256737343
I wish there were some spooky mods that utilised the NPC limbo room.

But only necromancer class enemies conjure skeletons and zombies

Nirn is trully the greatest creation of all time.

That's bethesda being fucking lazy again
Summoning skeletons from the skeleton dimension was always their idea of "necromancy"

Ohh my starting money plate how i love you

I started playing Morrowind for the first time about a week ago, after having only experienced Oblivion and Skyrim (both of which I enjoyed)

But man, now I see why everyone thinks those two games lesser

Morrowind is like ten bajillion times more interesting and unique, and isn't just standard copypaste fantasy land

>>256737359
Is that the future where only 3 of the 10 races survived the apocalypse to live on the moon?

>>256738657
Actually a lot of the dungeons are copy and paste, but then specific clutter and especially loot is hand placed.

>>256738669
Dunmer, Khajiit, Nords, Imperials, Argonians and Breton are confirmed for survived by living on Masser and Secunda. For others we don't know, but I doubt they're dead.

>>256738669
Khajiit already live on the moon though.

>>256738967
when did that happen?

>>256739371
They got really high

>>256739371
Ages ago. They figured out that's where moon sugar comes from so they made a tower standing on each other shoulders until they could reach.

>>256739482
*When they got really high

>>256737359
Man I haven't even bothered reading this. Is it any good?

As if space travel is something special.

>>256739501
They didn't have to figure out. When Azura made them, she invented moon sugar, told them what it was and how it was made, that they could go on the moon and how to keep all this a secret from everybody else. She even designed them with lunar lattice forms, and the whole cat thing to help them in every possible scenario.

"It's Bullshit But I Believe It: The Graphic Novel"

>>256739691
>Is it any good?
Controversial.
If you're deeply into the lore, then probably. Otherwise it'll seem like nonsense and you won't make the right connections. It's demanding material. I'd say wait for the graphic novel to be finished if you're a normal TES fan.

>>256739885
The disconnect between story and gameplay in TES is really jarring.

>>256739691
If you like cryptic bullshit, sure. Which I do.

>>256725319
no
they literally became part of Numidium
they are it and still live united as their Brass God

>>256728778
Also really dumb that the guy who was Cyrus in Redguard and had been voicing Redguards since didn't do any voices,

they only survive by drinking the empires semen once a year

>>256728778
dam both of the beast races sound even better in Skyrim
Agronian males especially sound like world champion buttfuckers

Is Hoonding spiral power?

You're making me want to play TES again, but I've played the DICK off Morrowind.

Once upon a time, I modded the hell out of Skyrim but never played it. I have no idea what I did. Maybe I should go look at see if I made it any good, I don't remember anymore.

The soundtrack for Secret of Evermore was his very first video game project, when he worked for Squaresoft NA.

Secret of Evermore was their one and only game. After it shipped, Squaresoft shut down their game-producing functions forever.
