Giants (karstaag?) are a subgradial dawntime Atmoran entity somewhere between men, mer, trolls, the Ilyadi, the karstaag (?) and dragons. Possibly transkalpic, if that even means anything anymore.

When is the right time to read c0da for a beginner

>>53200816
You should ideally not be a beginner by the time you read it. If you're asking as a beginner, then you should read it last.

>>53200816
Play through Morrowind's main quest, read some of its books while doing so and just get acquainted with the story and lore.
Read all the 36 Lessons.
Read some of Kirkbride's out-of-game texts primarily 'Vehk's Teaching' and the Loveletter.

You should be ready then.

>>53200208
They're big. Herd Mammoths. Like painting and tattoos. Live in small nomadic communities. Like hitting people they don't like with a club. Tend to keep to themselves.

Last thread there was discussion about Almalexia potentially mantling Boethia?

Would that have any effect on Boethia's sphere at all?

First for /Bretonmasterrace/

Objectively best race. Prove me wrong.


Pro tip: You might

>>53202933
I wouldn't say objectively,
but they are my favorite

>>53202875
No, because they would have be similar enough in the first place for the mantling to qualify. Boethia is the Anticipation of Almalexia (or the other way around post-Red Year), and it's sort of a soft mantling in the case of Almsivi.

The concept of the anticipations is just temple propaganda to win daedra worshipers over to tribunal worship. It has nothing to do with mantling.

How many original, good books were written for Skyrim? Not many. ESO is the worst in this, we all know it. They dont care about books, nor developing the game world outside of quests. They write a single paragraph of utter shit, call it a book and say oh what stories we tell. God I fucking hate that """""lore master"""""" too. Books in TES is the only thing in life that makes me go REEEEE

Judging by the way it goes, they will turn TES back into a DnD setting.

Please don't remind me, anon. I almost fucking puked when I saw LadyNigger posting pic related.

>>53220083
A retcon is when something is when something is literally overwritten in the lore (i.e jungles of Cyrodiil).
Just because Centaurs haven't been acknowledged in a while does not mean they have been retconned.

So, I gotta say I like ESO's version of Vvardenfel ruins as a half-way point between Skyrim and Morrowind, but the new Daedric ruins don't really look all that good. (And hell I thought they were supposed to be intact during the Interregnum, but that was just a personal idea of when they were built.)

Ald'ruhn's crab is either not completely excavated or they really changed the shape.

The rest of the city is unbuilt which actually makes sense, as opposed to Seyda Neen which is practically identical in a blatant act of nostalgia-pandering.

I hate ESO but I gotta give it to them, Ald'Ruhn being an ashlander camp prior to Redoran coming is a neat idea. Redoran-Ashlander connection is an interesting one in generral.

Yes, exactly. I've noticed it before, Redoran architecture and city planning had noticeable similarities to Ashlander ones. Huts and yurts are both round dwellings with the heath in center, and they are similarly placed.
Some Redoran designs are straight up copied from Ashlander ones.

I don't know shit about 3dprinting, but given all the empty space I think you would have to print it in multiple parts. So while I think it would be possible, I'd imagine it would take more planning than one would think.
But again, I don't know anything about this.

The lack of decent content from the TES fanbase. (Excluding general Casu-el/Skyrim bullshit).
Don't get me wrong, we have some decent shit (UESRPG, C0DA, etc.)

Look at the Warhammer 40k fanbase for example. They seem to have lot of good, original fan work, and this board is almost dedicated to them. Given, they've been around longer than us, but our fandom is still 23 years old.
And not to bust anyone's balls or be cynical, but how the fuck does a fandom of retarded zoophiliac teens and manchildren who watch a little girl's show about magical horses 6 years our junior churn out more original content than us?
I want lore-based web-series, I want some good music. I even want high-quality fanfiction, I don't even care if it's smut, as long as it's got lore nuances.
If things like these exist and I just don't know about them, PLEASE prove me wrong.
I just want more things to look at and say "Yeah, that was ALL us."

>>53226101
Because TES, until recently, produced very little new material at a steady rate. Warhammer has magazines with snippets of new lore and game content, the technicolor horsemeat has regular seasons. New content = fan traffic, fanart, OC, discussions of said content.

TES has the games, and a book. And after so many threads of saying the same things over and over, and a stubborn refusal to even acknowledge the new games, /tgesg/ is in decline.

Much like the Dwarfs of Warhammer fantasy, all we do is sit around, complaining about how terrible new things are, stubbornly clinging to the old ways, even as we are steadily left behind. The last of the old guard just waiting to die.

Except me, I'm going to ESO because the elves don't look like abominations and actually have an appeal that would explain why humans wanted to bang them throughout Nirn's history.

>>53226101
Probably some combination of infrequent release dates on official content and the deep intricate nature of the lore. I'm gonna hazard a guess and say there was quite a bit of content being created in 2011/2012 that fell off, and if anybody who was into fan content stuck around after that they may have been out off by just how much they'd need to know to be able to create anything "valid".

If you wanna compare it to ponyfuckers, all you need to do to "create" mlp "content" is to find one of probably dozens of programs that let you change superficial details on a basic pony shape to have a character, and from there just open a word processor and spew whatever comes to mind and nobody can really argue if your creation is canon or not. In TES, well in this very thread you've got people saying you need to read a dozen+ in game books, then the external works of a cokehead ex-employee, then an extensive fan compilation and interpretation of lore to really understand what's going on. That's quite the hurdle to overcome.

>>53223303
It's not like it has a lock. All you have to do is enter it when Azura wakes up to check her emails.

>>53226101
That's because most things ultimately come down to mods, and the only person who both mods and knows lore is trainwiz, and look how that turned out.

>>53226624
Well that and old lorefags are so damn salty that fanworks nearly every single time get shat on. Even if it's a total reimaginging like those 40k AU's, it will get blasted until the writers fuck off somewhere else.

This place can be pretty shitty for the uninitiated.

>>53227201
Funny because ESO tends to incorporate fanworks far more readily than normal TES. They made c0da and trainwiz canon with Morrowind, as well as some stuff from Tamriel Rebuilt.

>>53227198
Well that and majority fanworks now come from Skyrim and ESO, and /tgesg/ treats those as sacrosanct. Until TES VI comes out, then Skyrim will be the 'better game' and VI will be utter heresy..

>>53227219
>trainwiz canon
People keep saying this, where is it?

>>53227331
There's a lot of things, mostly the designs of the city, as well as a bunch of smaller stuff like humanoid fabricants and robot clones of existing people that go insane (which is part of a fun boss fight that actually forges and constructs robot clones of you and your party that you have to fight), and Sotha Sil's personality and a bunch of pieces of canon. There's a big 36 Lessons series of books that is Sotha Sil giving a huge amount of his ideas that echoes a lot of trainwiz's stuff.
It's also kind of terrifying since it amounts to him calling Lorkhan shit, the daedra not real, the Dwemer both dumb idiots and shit, Numidium the most dangerous thing ever, and how he's going to forcibly integrate everyone and everything into a mechanical hivemind and literally rebuild Anu. You get to see converted clockwork shalk and other animals at one point.

To write something that people will care about, you must use characters they care about. In TES there are few characters that you know enough AND also have meaningful relationships with other characters.
And the ones who do, like the First Council, go with a really heavy lore. Without reading all the MK's shit and understanding at least 60% of it, understanding the character's vision of world etc, you cannot even write a story about Vehk blowing some random guy without feeling you're committing some kind of sacrilege.

>>53228084
You're going to need to be a little knowledgeable in Nordic mythology for this one. In basic terms, there's a series of Nordic poetry about Dagon called the Aldudaggavelashadingas, the first of which details his transformation from the Leaper Demon King to into Dagon at the hand of Alduin. This is his punishment for saving bits and pieces of kalpas from destruction, and now he seeks to destroy them. Okay, that's simple enough.

Moving on to the Commentaries, and massively paraphrasing: Mehrunes was created in Lyg by wayward Magne Ge. Mehrunes + Dagon = Mehrunes Dagon. He is hope, liberation, and rebellion - Nu Mantia. Lyg falls.

Late 3E Cyrodiil. Mankar Camoran is either using MD or MD is using Mankar. Mankar uses Mehrunes (the Razor) to preform Nymic Surgery on himself, which allows him to wear the Chim-el Adabal. Mankar believes in the equivalent of a metaphysical conspiracy theory that Tamriel is the Daedric plane of Lorkhan. It could be argued that by toppling the Septim dynasty, Mehrunes Dagon achieved his desired revolution.

Those are the basics. Any questions?

>>53230264
The Kothringi were a Nedic tribe located in the area that would one day span the Nibenese valley and northern Black Marsh. They were described as having shimmering skin, and wacky theories link them to Hist eugenics/infiltration programs. They were wiped out by the Knahaten Flu and the last survivors sailed away.

You have no idea who motivating autism can be. I should know, I've been a horsefucker for the better part of a decade.

But really, it's because of size, concentration, and the fact that the MLP fandom has a well established creative tradition.
By that I mean there's a active consumer base for art and stories, there's dedicated sites and competitions, and all those factors lowers the bar of entry for new content producers, and makes them more likely stick around longer. It's easier for them to become invested in the whole "fandom" aspect of liking something.

Also, unironic autism and manchildren with way to much time on their hands.

Relevant quotes:

>The fifth song of King Wulfharth is sad. The survivors of the disaster came back under a red sky. That year is called Sun's Death. The Devil of Dagoth had tricked the Nords, for the Heart of Shor was not in the eastern kingdoms, and had never been there at all. As soon as Shor's army had got to Red Mountain, all the Devils and Dwarves fell upon them. Their sorcerers lifted the mountain and threw it onto Shor, trapping him underneath Red Mountain until the end of time. They slaughtered the sons of Skyrim, but not before King Wulfharth killed King Dumalacath the Dwarf-Orc, and doomed his people. Then Vehk the Devil blasted the Ash King into Hell and it was over. Later, Kyne lifted the ashes of the ashes of Ysmir into the sky, saving him from Hell and showing her sons the color of blood when it is brought by betrayal. And the Nords will never trust another Devil again.

>Wulfharth adopts and is adopted by the Nords then. Ysmir the Grey Wind, the Storm of Kyne. But through Lorkhan he lost his national identity. All he wants the Nords for is to kill the Tribunal. He raises a storm, sends in his people, and is driven back by Tribunal forces. The Dunmer are too strong now. Wulfharth goes underground to wait and strengthen and reform his body anew. Oddly enough, it is Almalexia who disturbs his rest, summoning the Underking to fight alongside the Tribunal against Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal, the Akaviri demon. Wulfharth disappears after Ada'Soom is defeated, and does not return for three hundred years.

What's with the eastern-style fans? I don't think I've seen those before in TES. Are they supposed to be Akaviri style?

This I can agree on.
>armor
1. It's mentioned in PGE1 that Dragonscale armor is Akaviri in origin. Doesn't look like a Japanese one, at all.
2. Blades armor in Oblivion is fucking Lorica Segmentata with a Persian/Indian looking shield.

Meanwhile, Orcish armor resembles Japanese one the most, Frandar Hunding/Gaiden Shinji/Ansei in general are fucking "muh sword" samurai, and Dunmer have quite some Japanese influences too.

Well, this weekend could have been worse, at least we didn't have 200 posts arguing over the validity of a certain alcoholic writer's works.

Tell me: are oblivion and Daggerfall worth playing? I've made it out of privateer's hold in Daggerfall but I'm worried it's gonna be a repetitive game. And the oblivion potato faces are a huge turnoff.

Pic related - who the fuck would be intimidated by this guy? He looks like Syndrome from the Incredibles. Lots of people said skyrim elves looked too "ayy lmao" but I think they were on point for that.

>>53242567
Potatoes are scary man, didn't they kill the irish?

Pretty sure its the absence of potatoes that killed the Irish.

What was up with the chairs in SSE? The ones around dead bodies and such.

>>53242950
Two concepts that never came to fruition were that fabricants steal furniture from the surface, and they do that because anything made in the city ends up alive and murderous. There is even a pic of Seht about to be killed by chairs.

Why do chairs come to life?

>>53243054
They don't, the fabricants build them that way by accident. Canonically they are extensions of Sotha Sil, and reflect his personality and ingenuity, but also tend to be... kind of doofy.

>>53242567
I wish I could help you, but with Daggerfall I never got much farther than Privateer's Hold. It's not a horrible game, it's just hard to hold interest when you aren't exactly sure if you're going in the right direction with things.

As for Oblivion, I'm biased since it was my first TES game, but I found it fun enough to play until almost the end of the main quest, where I began wanting to start over again and feel the low level 'fighting to survive' feeling again. If you're just playing it for a sandboxy experience, don't. It's not the worst, but the dungeons are horrible in looks and all blend together after a while. Skyrim looks better and generally has better little traps at least, even if Oblivion has a few-odd interesting ones. Most of the quests themselves are alright, and tend to have less in the way of just fetch quests.

>>53237778
I know the weekend's ending but I hope I will get an answer- if this happened like in this book, at least in one version, would it mean that Tribunal slaughtered Sixth House who did absolutely nothing wrong, because there was no one left to prove they only joines Nords to betray them?

>>53243462
Yes.
But that's nothing new, Vivec slaughtered House Mora too.

Is there any reason why a Khajiit wouldn't or couldn't possibly join the Vigil of Stendarr?

What's the lore behind the vampires in Oblivion?

Genuine question, no troll, how did Mankar wear the amulet of kings exactly? What was the process? How could this happen without Akatoshs blessing? Is there a source where this is explained? Wiki isn't helping.

>>53245352

in the little world you find him in is of his own creation and as such the reality that applies to tamriel does not apply to him

>>53246813
But he was already wearing the amulet before he entered his paradise.

Friendly reminder that Mankar Camoran and Jagar Tharn are the same person.

1. Mankar, son of Haymon Camoran is born.
2. Gets adopted into House Tharn under the name Jagar Tharn
3. Makes contact with Mechrunes Dagon.
4. Uses the power of Razor to send an alternative copy of himself back in Tiber Septim's time.
5. Writes the Commentaries and lives under his original name.
6. Some time after the death of his original self, orchestrates Oblivion Crisis.

> [MK] He didn't do it through a Dragon Break. He did it with the Razor, cutting his nymix back into a versioned Dawn. Think Hellraiser and you're close.

I'm having a bit of trouble making sense of a quest in Morrowind.

Upon joining the Tribunal Temple, you're asked to seek out Tanusea Veloth, a holy pilgrim blessed by Almalexia herself. She has been afflicted with Corprus, and the Temple would like her to leave Vivec and go to the Corprusarium, to prevent spreading it to anyone.

She won't go, insisting that you are not nearly as pious as she - and she specifically mentions Saryoni's Sermons. If you find the book and bring it to her, you can quote from it in order to convince her.

My issue with this is that there isn't really anything in the Sermons that I believe would apply to her situation - it's something of a holy book, yes, but the lessons in it are unrelated to Tanusea. Can anyone make heads or tails of this?

>>53249987
>I shall not quail, nor turn away, but face my enemies and my fear.

>I shall neither strut nor preen in vanity, but shall know and give thanks for my place in the greater world.

>>53250356

Apparently it can unlock everything.
Like potential.
Or concepts.

>>53249903
Thanks anon. The only thing I could think of was differences in Khajiiti worship, but still that might not be enough to cause a khajiit to not acknowledge Stendarr, after all S'rendarr is more or less the same.

Also dimensions.

Are there elements from Daggerfall that you think are worth keeping for understanding of High Rock/Hammerfell, or is it so outdated and so old that ESO is actually more the proper choice?

Well, He may be dead, but His love and His Blessing persist.

I know about the Dunmer lore in Morrowind for the most part, but are there any interesting things mentioning them in Daggerfall?

>>53254935
Not really. Before Morrowind (the game) Morrowind (the province) was actually Victorian England.

>>53200212
>>53200225
Not really an expert on giants but from what I recall giants are degenerated less from Ehlnofey, as are elves. Elves are the "natives" of Tamriel, as in, this kalpa; Men are mutants, changed by the Sithis soul of Lorkhan, which is why they resemble the other Ehlnofey less, except for redguards, which come from a previous kalpa where the men were the fundamental descendents of et'Ada and elves were the mutants, which is why they are unique among the man-races (even bretons, which are half-elf) in almost ubiquitously rejecting Lorkhan in his myriad forms and worshiping Anu as an ultimate good.

>>53252574
Daggerfall's breton lore mostly just has to do with how they do warfare, which is political subterfuge first and underhanded tactics/battle magic second. The latter is also really Dunmeri, and the Dunmer had the whole "living gods" thing going on to make them seem more interesting. That's still good stuff though.

Redguard lore, absolutely. Probably the most actually-interesting single race, and it comes about 50-50 from Daggerfall and Redguard.
