None of his actual motives and grievances involve the misinformation that he was fed, though. The Empire genuinely did abandon Morrowind and Hammerfell and then outlaw Talos. If I remember correctly, the misinformation that he was fed was that something that he told the Thalmor led to the sack of the Imperial City.


If you ignore the latter half of the Shivering Isles where he gets deadly serious and reveals he had an actual reason for sending you to do all the things that seemed like random shit at the time, I guess.

This. The Thalmor convinced Ulfric that information ripped from him caused the Imperial City to fall (when it had fell days beforehand).

As far as Stormcloaks vs. Thalmor go, there's never been a technologically superior force that lost to a bunch of barbaric religious fanatics squatting in the mountains who think dying in battle against a hated for is a fast track to their Heaven regardless of previous deeds.

I don't think so. The offering he requests in Oblivion is a soul gem, a ball of yarn, and a head of lettuce, but the only cheese thing was with the quest and a single line after you finished one of his tasks in the Shivering Isles questline.
"Time for a celebration... Cheese for everyone! Wait, scratch that, cheese for no one. That can be just as much of a celebration, if you don't like cheese. True? You've run a maze like a good little rat, but no cheese for you yet. Well, maybe a little." He delivery was just over the top about the initial "cheese for everyone!" and I guess it stuck.

No, I meant how you had to get some stinky cheese to bring the rats about in that doomsday town.

That's what I meant by "in the quest", I just worded it poorly. As for the quote, his actor might have put so much emphasis on cheese because he was devouring the sound booth:

Srsly, man must've been fucking hungry during that take.

Just played through Labyrinthian. Goddamn the gimmick of randomly emptying your magicka gets old fast. I know you get Equilibrium in the same dungeon but still.

In the matter of talking about Sheogorath (and i'm playing Oblivion again, Imperial custom class with Atronach birthsign):

My favorite scene of all Oblivion.

Labyrinthian teaches you one of two lessons:

-have good magicka regeneration and decent potion reserves.

-ignore that shit and run around beating everyone with a Warhammer.

Guess which is more efficient? Doesn't help that the dragon priest at the end can't harm you, he just drains your Magicka.

Are there any good mods for it? I'm half-tempted to go back to it, but you know... it hasn't gotten any less clunky with time.

I'm using this guide:
Throught the Valleys
It's actually good, mainly with the leveling system tweaks and the balanced leveled items, along other interesting things.

Throught the Valleys
It's acually good, mainly with the leveling system tweaks and the unbalanced items, along other interesting things.

That's very helpful, thanks. Definitely going to think about a fresh install now.

While i would love to praise Daggerfall just for the hell of it, i won't. I love the damn thing, but it's a love based on nostalgia. The actual game is a goddamn mess...


Morrowind is where it's at, followed by Skyrim. Oblivion felt too damn lifeless and clean, for lack of a better word. Also fuck the persuasion minigame. Fuck it with those crappy Daedric weapons you get by the sackful from any Oblivion gate.

I'm gonna be honest, Oblivion grows on me more every single time I replay it. Its quest design is top notch and it has the best expansion in the series. The stuff it cut out is annoying, but it's usually Morrowind fans that use that argument and that's funny considering what Morrowind cut from Daggerfall.

 

[JektheDumbass]

So I accidentally activated the Soul Trap glitch in Morrowind and my most recent hard save was hours ago. Is there a way to get rid of the effects, or do I just have to live with having a Spear skill of 188?

Edit: fixed it. A custom Drain Spear Skill 100 on self for 1 second corrected the issue.

I was about to say, another solution is to become a werewolf, wait until night so you turn into your werewolf form, and when you become a human again the next day the enchantments will be gone.

I'll claim to my grave Morrowind was the best, but Oblivion is so damn comfy. If Skyblivion ever gets off its ass, it'll be the perfect mix with how laid back Oblivion was with the quality of life stuff Skyrim brought.

I'll keep that in mind.

I didn't know you could activate the targeting glitch with weapons though. I'm not running open MW so weapon enchants with a range of touch is your touch, not your weapon's. So I was training my spear skill with a soul trap on target, fortify spear on self for 1 second. Turns out that is also valid for activating the glitch.

I will honestly never play an elder scrolls game again, Bethesda hates its consumers but loves money so they shit out shit like fallout 76. Who's to say they won't fuck up elder scrolls? (I mean, skyrim exists)
Oblivion is the best one though, no doubt. Comfiest game ever it's so fun to just do random shit.

One thing I criticize Skyrim for is the lack of tanking and barbarian type organizations. Sure you got the companions but you also got the Theives Guild, The college of Winterhold, and the Dark brotherhood. I wanna be a big fat dobber who says Skyrim belongs to the Norfs

Skyrim should have had an Arena for people who just wanted to fight shit and not get railroaded into being a werewolf. There probably should have been some kind of Temple faction like Morrowind, as well.
