It seems like the same game and has the same glitches too. The woman who tells you the directions to the Golden Claw glitch out on me and constantly froze up and stopped walking and talking. Good start.

So.. Don't know if there's any Elder Scrolls Online players here.. But they've recently put up player housing on the PTR Server.. I'm liking it so far.. But I'm worried on how much of their in cash shop currency some of the furnished areas are going to be costing.. That and you can finally sit on stuff in world..

A state of Nirvana achieved at the apex of realizing the world is nothing but the dream of a literal God and, if not being utterly wiped from existence itself upon this revelation, the person in question gains the power to manipulate the "reality" around them in a manner of lucid dreaming.

So basically, folks like Vivec can tilde key at will.

I've been playing an unhealthy amount of Skyrim recently and I've noticed something that doesn't make sense about Ulfric's capture at the beginning so if you'll allow me to indulge in my spergery...

So Ulfric kills the high king and escapes from Solitude, but he's finally caught at Darkwater Crossing, which is halfway between Windhelm and Riften which means he took a really long round about way to try to get back home. Hell, he had to go past Dragon Bridge to get there, and that's the HQ of one of the most elite military forces of the Empire. Why didn't he head straight east to Dawnstar? The jarl there is very pro Stormcloak, and I'm sure the jarl would give him aid and quarter, and then lend him a boat so he could row his happy ass back to Windhelm.

And my next thing is just more of an ironic musing rather than a legit question, because the beginning scene at Helgen was done the way it was because it looked the coolest from a gameplay standpoint, but why didn't they kill Ulfric first? He's public enemy #1, kill him and the rebellion is crushed, but no, they first behead some rando foot soldier, then they want to kill you, a complete nobody from the Empire's perspective. That Captain really fucked up! Women can't do anything right!

First is a rebel that was being pushy and then the random clearly unaligned person they just randomly captured for no reason. I guess they wanted Ulfric to suffer seeing his men killed before him as a grim reminder of the consequences of his actions.

Morrowind again. Before I join a faction, is it possible for me to get locked out of a faction if I join a different one? I'm fully aware of a Fighter quest that will lock me out of Thieves Guild.

My favorite way around that issue is to goad Sottilde into attacking me so I can take the codebook from her corpse and hand it to Eydis. If she attacks first, she's guilty, not you, even if you are in the Thieves Guild, and they don't kick you out. If you want a non-violent way to get it, a really good pickpocket could snag it off her with a decent Chameleon boost.

If you choose to get it and haven't joined the Thieves Guild yet, just increase her disposition to 70 and you can convince her to hand it over without a fight.

The prophecy that the entire plot revolves around was made by one of the last non-feral Falmer who got butt-hurt that his god abandoned him after he got turned into a vampire...

I still don't understand how that works. How does he create a prophecy into multiple Elder Scrolls? They're fucking divine constructs relating to gods that by his own admission have abandoned him.
