    For context, we're playing an elder scrolls RPG in my tabletop group. We've been meeting the various leaders of cyrodiil. They were handing out cute quests like "hey, can you grab some authentic akaviri swords folded over a million times then dropped in a hole in the ground for me?" and "pls help, I think my goober son is getting into a mischief."

    The count of skingrad just straight up officially sanctioned a murder in the streets of a vigilant of stendarr.


  • you know, weirdly enough, my last death also included a grenade and a bike. I was retreating from a few beefed up zombies on the way back to the base, and whimsically decided to leave them a parting gift. I turned 180 on my scrapbike, upped the acceleration to get out of the splash zone, activated a grenade, and threw. I uh, didn't throw the right grenade though...










  • I've been messing around with it for a minute. It's dull and repetitive, honestly. And kind of obnoxious without a magic regen mod. All quests have timers, you see, and it takes about 8 hours of resting after each fight to heal to full and recover MP. The dungeons are way bigger than they need to be, and each and every one is a randomly generated labyrinth filled to bursting with monsters. You're playing find-the-needle-in-the-haystack and can probably afford to get into 10 fights before you fail the quest you're on.

    All of the stuff i like best in daggerfall is iterated upon in later titles to be better - especially spell creation. I hear the story is interesting later on, though.






  • Check out the Unreality of Pro Wrestling, its a video by some guy online who'se really fascinated by the fine line between the fiction of wrestling and the reality of it. Like, yeah, they're selling, but there's also real stakes for the wrestlers too. When the storylines and the wrestler's motives align just right, it's basically real for just a little while, even if its fake.
