GHARTOK PADHOME AE ALTADOON

Too bad Aldmer and Bosmer aren't known to be pretty.

Compared to a Dark Elf? Still I think if someone wants a pretty race they'll probably go for Breton

Aldmer? Wrong period, brah.
Or orc.

I'm curious to see how the racial tensions will be displayed. I personally would love to see,for an example, a tavern fight that got started when a Dunmer told an Argonian joke. Or vice versa. Or Nord told a Dunmer joke. You get the picture.

one more thing that will make this game more like WoW. and im betting on it now you can come back on that later: ELVES WILL BE PRETTY. if they already go for a different artstyle the FIRST thing they will change is that elves will no longer be ugly.

Ugly or not I still love to hang some elves ears for drying - and I'm not talking about the plant now.

The Morrowind screens i've seen look amazing. As well as everything else.

I'm looking forward to see the old mainland cities of Morrowind. Mainly the two biggest Ebonheart and Mournhold. But I have no interest to visit on Vvardenfell again - too much ash on there.

actually exploring morrowind again is the thing im looking forward the most in this game. i dont realy care about the mainland as it will be too generic from what ive gathered from stories such as the real barenziah, also mournhold in Morrowind. I want this alien feel again. I want to get insulted by guards that didnt just take the job cause they took arrows to the knee.

I like Morrowind much but there are two things I have always disliked about it: combat system and lore(only terrain and bestiary - people, architecture and culture were interesting ones(except Telvanni)).
For me the mainland still looks like more interesting and when I played Morrowind I felt sorry because Dres and Indoril weren't on Vvardenfell. I hope the Great Houses to be great also in this game.

the terrain and bestiarry of morrowind was amazing, what did you concern you about it?

Too much ash and sand everywhere - too few trees, grass and plants. Only area I can say I liked was that swamp-like area from Hla Oad to Gnaar Mok. About bestiary nix-hounds, kagouti, alit and netches were so unnatural and alien that they made the game to feel more like modern scifi than epic fantasy.

But there were whole cities made grown from mushrooms. I would have thought it more likely that one would become bored of all the trees.

thats the point here isnt it? why does have something belong to either genre.. play wizardry 8 and youll laugh at this "sci fi"
its the best part about morrowind, even if you played previous TES games, you still cant expect realy what you will encounter in it. its just the joy of discovering something completley new. so yeah i guess going back there now realy doesnt make a huge ammount of sense now deos it?

but i doubt they will be as creative with blackmarch as bethesda has been with morrowind, sadly...

I found them "like creatures out of dreams" and therefore very fantasy. Of course, actually knowing what fantasy and sci-fi is means that even the TES works about Tiber Septim's moon base and Thalmor mirror-spaceships can't trick me into thinking they're sci-fi when they aren't.

Just got my Gameinformer today. Hear my brethren. The scans don't have the little orange boxes that give a little more info. Dialogue will be handled like every other Elder Scrolls game with full voice acting and dialogue options. so no question marks over people's heads.

In the interview with the creative director he mentions something that is kind of interesting though it kind of sounds a little odd about the Ebonheart pact. The Ebonheart pact may have been the last to form.

Everyone else was taking chunks of their territory and raiding them so they were left with no other choice. First the Nords and Dunmer allied because believe it or not the Nords asked the Dunmer for help, when they realized their combined strength wasn't enough they asked the Argonians to form an alliance and the Argonians agreed so they would no longer be treated like slave scum. This sounds...off. It was a winged response though. Might be more inaccurate.

Also lets not forget Llesweyr.
How did the Khajiit get to the moon?
He climbed there, because he had the sugar.

Hypothetically this is where I would end up, being a Dunmer through and through. However, I won't be playing this game, especially when my birth determines my faction, that's just silly.

Well those mushroom cities with you-have-to-levitate-towers never impressed me. Balmora was my favorite city and those old strongholds out there were really likable. I also have to say that the Ghostgate was really impressive when I saw it at the first time.
You are right that's the point. Now it makes more sense for me and maybe being there would feel differently now when I have more knowledge about TES lore. Morrowind was the game which took me into the world of virtual RPGs - before that I was used to play pen&paper-RPGs. I'm a Tolkien fan and "The Middle Earth RPG" was my favorite game so you may understand that when getting introduced to virtual RPGs I expected something more similar to Tolkiens world than Morrowind is. It actually took me two games (Morrowind and Oblivion) before I got fully in the TES lore.
I have never seen such dreams. Anyway there were other creatures which I liked more especially Cliff Racers - fighting them with Iron Halberd was one of the best things you were able to do in Morrowind. Hopefully I can do it again in TES:O.

Gameinformer is gonna do an article about the Ebonheart Pact on friday

Speaking of which, where the heck is the Aldmeri Dominion article? It was supposed to be out today.

There is a thread about it on the first page.

Yeah I can imagine...

Dunmer: 'So a wood elf, a high elf and a dark elf walk into Black Marsh. The dark Elf says, I'm in need of a new slave and...oh [censored]'

Argonian: *Stabs Dark Elf Repeatedly*

Nord: *Claps while drunk*
