    I imagine they've already got people working on the planning stages of TESVI
    which is going to be a next-gen game

    just imagine what they'll be able to do with those kind of resources

    large battle scenes with more than half a dozen people a side!

    I think it is interesting that Elder Scrolls II, III, and IV all deal with you deactivating one of the towers. Skyrim I guess breaks the mold, but if the Throat's stone is really having a king, I guess you can deactivate that one too.

    Suddenly me tending to play through the games as an Altmer makes so much sense.

    How many towers are there supposed to be and is it possible for something in Elder Scrolls I to be one? Imagine if the last Elder Scrolls game is the player handling some massive threat and accidentally killing the world.

    Finish the main quest, world explodes and the screen goes black, credits roll, "WELL GOOD JOB NO MORE ELDER SCROLLS GAMES HOPE YOU GUYS ARE HAPPY"

    Where are you guys getting this info about the towers? I read that Love Letter from the Fifth Era, but I must have missed the mention of towers. Is there any in game reference to it?

    I beat Alduin on my Mage with Better Magic. Getting Restoration to 50 was a horrific grind and I am afraid of leveling it any more but Destruction rules in such a reasonable way with this mod.

    The Elder Scrolls are the source code for the Elder Scrolls games.


    It'll turn out that they're written in C, and that removing the Pillars of the World causes a pointer to fail to initialize, and generates a Segmentation fault/coredump error.

    Thus ending the world.

    but I gotta waste my stealth on the hammer

    They're mentioned in the first book you can find in Skyrim!

    Sneaking through the thalmor quest level and stealing the armor off of every guard while never being detected was my favorite moment in skyrim.

    Especially because parts of that area are outside in the snow.

    Just left them finishing their patrol naked in the snow, wondering where their pants had got off to.

    Second book, the first you can find is Mixed Unit Tactics >.>

    I'm fairly neurotic about picking up books.

    Ah. Thank you very much good sir.

    EDIT:So I read through it and I remember reading it before. I thought the prophesy of the dragonborn mentioned in the book was pretty straightforward. It alludes to events in previous elder scroll games that lead up to the events that occurred in Skyrim. I still don't see where the idea that these "towers" are holding the world together comes from. Also, the only towers that I've seen mentioned are the White-Gold Tower, the Adamantine Tower, the Throat of the World and Red Mountain. Where is the idea that every province has a tower coming from and is there any mention of what they are?

    I do see how you could deduce what the Thalmor are up to based on the above information, but is there any mention of why they would be trying to end the world.

    Sorry for the ton of questions but I am very interested in the lore of the games, though I don't exactly keep up with the more hidden elements.

    The Thalmor want to end the world because they are total dillholes who can't deal with mortality, they figure wrecking existence will result in spiritual foreverness or total oblivion and either is better.

    I like playing that part as my sneak thief who is like the arrow fairy. Nothing but dead elves with arrows in their chest or face. Their buddies coming over to check out what happened, and then ARROW!

    You would think some guard would finally smarten up and just go inside and let whoever is murdering fools like nothing with arrows just do his job and leave. But no, they keep looking for me.

    Elves are basically descendants of the original deific beings that were trapped on Nirn when it was separated from Oblivion. Some elves believe that mortality is basically a corruption of the original divinity, and so they try to undo what Lorkhan and the Aedra did in creating Mundus.

    By contrast, humans were created on Nirn, essentially from the shattered divinity of Lorkhan himself, and the human religions generally believe that mortality is a trial through which an even higher divinity can be reached(which was possibly the ultimate goal of Lorkhan in the first place).

    An interesting effect of the empire under Septim rule is that the dissemination of ideas combined with the empire's generally inclusive attitude fostered a major change among the Altmer. Where before the Thalmor were completely in control of Altmer culture, by the time of Uriel VIII, they'd become a minority, bordering on apparent nonexistance. Of course they came back in force immediately after the Oblivion crisis, suggesting a foreknowledge of, or perhaps even a hand in, Dagoth Ur's invasion.

    @Olorin

    A lot of the tower stuff comes from another document called the Nu-Mantia Intercept so you may want to give that a read as well

  • DichotomyDichotomy Registered User regular
    it's a pretty okay house, but markarth

    unless you were going to turn into a werewolf and eat all your neighbors that would substantially improve the living conditions
