[ShitlordroltihS]

So since Fallout Frontier turned out to be such a shitshow and Kiwis have had quite a field day this week from modding drama and lolcows, I decided to do some digging on the Beyond Skyrim modding team.

For those who don't know what Beyond Skyrim is, it is a "massive" scale Skyrim mod project that aims to recreate the whole world of Tamriel for TESV: Skyrim and the autists working on it have been at it for over 10 years, due to many believing it was due to a lot of hard work and attention to detail, but in actuality half of the delays are more of a result of aimless autists unable to stay focused and constantly having to redo things from scratch due to nitpicking or artsy and woke directors with too much creative freedom and whatnot who want the project to be more like their visions or fetishes.

Anyway, a lot of drama got exposed on /v/ which ended with the BS member who leaked the whole mess getting banned from their Discord for "bigotry". The banned modder shared info, screencaps, and private details about the community's tism, and after getting banned he even leaked all of BS's assets (models and textures) along with the SE-Cyrodiil esp, which is still missing some things but has a fully explorable Cyrodiil with NPCs and creatures.

From what I've learned, a lot of furries, trannies and niche fetishists are on the BS team but were mainly confined to the Black Marsh and Morrowind projects where they're putting a strong focus on genderfluid lizards and unconventional sexual situations (sounds like Frontier already), however recent development on the Discord seems to be encouraging them to work elsewhere to 'spite the bigots' which will no doubt set this mod back by even more years. He also said that one of the directors of the project and several others are groomers who've been seducing and/or troonifying younger members. This may have been going on in the team for years but it seems it only got worse after Bruma, their first release back in 2017 made them popular, attracting many new recruits, most of which were opportunists, manipulators and a suspiciously large amount of trannies. Some older users have also been driven out of the project by the drama going on within the community, which involves woketards getting angry at senior members after they tried to calm their tits. Elsewhere in other parts of the project like Atmora (which is not as plagued as the rest of the BS project since they joined late) still has a degree of gossip hounds and infighting with everyone to knock their own directors down a peg.

The most notable weirdo of the team is Rabaedo, the creative director for the Morrowind project who encourages trans-themed quests involving pissing off bigoted dark elves with trans rights paintings or even converting some to the gay/tranny side.

Here are some of the /v/ threads I could find that catalogued the shitshow and the BS discord screencaps along with the leaks:

The jannies on /v/ have been purging most threads discussing it and the BS team have apparently been trying to send 4chan a DMCA over the leaks.

Spoiler: Leaked shit that hasn't been taken down yet

Also some of the "Easter Eggs" in the game are "trans and gay rights" messages hidden about, along with other weird messages and lame outdated memes that break the fourth wall.

Yeah most of the shit show is where you would expect (Elyswer, Morrowind, Black Marsh) but from what I can tell Cyrodiil and Illiac Bay will be fine, the prerelease for Cyrodiil was almost flawless compared to frontier, but trannies ruin everything so idk it could fucking explode for all i know.

Elyswer and Black Marsh I can get thanks to the animal people, but why Morrowind?

Because subverting a deeply conservative society and twisting it to be LGBTBBQWTF+ and miscegenation-friendly is what troons and leftards love doing.

 

[JektheDumbass]

Got farther in Morrowind than I ever have before. Probably because I played the Xbox version originally and would always give up trying to understand half the shit or what I was even supposed to be doing probably because I was young and the only other RPG I had played at the time was KOTOR and Paper Mario. I am really enjoying it but I have to say whoever designed Vivec City and decided to make it a clusterfuck to even get out of deserves a beating. I spent a good 30 minutes just trying to get out because everywhere in it looks the same and my character cannot jump over the railing on the outside despite like 60 Acrobatics.

You're probably long since past this, but what I like to do is commission shoes with constant levitate on them. It won't be fast but it's helpful to hold on to.

I take it that Morrowind getting fucked by Red Mountain and the Argonians after Oblivion wasn't enough for them.

It was not. It is never enough. You can see that with the destruction of historical statues in the USA.

Update you all on Daggerfall Unity as well as sperg over it.

As of this post, DFU is in Beta, with version 0.11.1 available for Win, Mac, Linux. It is a re-implementation of Daggerfall in the Unity engine (similar in purpose to the OpenMW project). As of Beta, all quests are implemented, and most of not all of the DF bugs have been resolved with the port into unity.

MODS
DFU is mod capable, and the community has stepped up with some great work. I can only see the modding scene explode once the final release is made. You can find them on Nexusmods or on the DFU forums.
Here is a list of my fave and bookmarked mods:

--Visuals--
DREAM - Graphic and audio overhall.
Mountain and Hills - Expands terrain render distance and improves terrain.
Enhanced Sky - pretty skies.
Daggerfall World Map - pretty world map.
Handpainted model replacements - replace some 2d sprites with 3d models in environments.
Taverns Redone - makes pit stops interesting.
Birds in Daggerfall - just adds flavour.
Real Grass - just adds flavour.

--Gameplay--
Tedious Travel OR Travel Options - implements a 'slow travel' mode instead of just teleporting to the location. It really changes how you engage with the world but really gives you the scale of the world.
Warm Ashes - many new random encounters. It will punch you in the dick with no forgiveness, so beware.
Roleplay and Realism - nice bonus features.
Roleplay and Realism Items - cool new stuff.
Daggerfall Unity Quest Pack 1 - selection of new quests or all guilds.
Archaeologists - modifies the language skills and adds the Archaeologists guild.
Villiger Immersion Overhall - Adds town events and villiger sprites.

Good luck and enjoy Daggerfall!

The biggest (optional) change DU made is the "smaller dungeons" option. When I played through it a year or two ago it was experimental and needed to be toggled in an .ini file. Don't know if that's still the case but it turns it into a completely different game. Basically every dungeon becomes the size of the tutorial dungeon ("story" dungeons are unaffected).

Shit, I forgot the mention that there are lots of tweaks like Smaller Dungeons. It was not implemented in the UI but you can change it in the .ini. It is a must for newbies and just the general player. I have no idea why they never put it into the options in the UI interface.

 

[HeyYou]

Daggerfall Unity with mods is probably one of the most fun experiences I've had in the last couple years. I'm still on a version from half a year ago: are saves compatible between updates?

You should be fine. The saves are independent of the versions. You may get some fuckery with mods but it should not break anything. Goodluck though.

Because the Tribunal and many of the gods are incredibly easy to headcanon (read: project onto) as some kind of divine faggot capable of fucking and being fucked in any configuration. Vivec is xe/xer, thank you very much!!!

Oh dear god, Vivec's gonna get utterly butchered. I don't even want to know what they'll have planned for Almalexia...

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

Vivec was a poet, after all, and him and Molag Bal "spear fighting" is canon. So is him and Almalexia banging after they, maybe, Ides of Marched Nerevar for godhood. To be fair though, Vivec has achieved CHIM so pegging Vivec down as anything is not easy. He can be whatever he wants, technically.

SLAY QUEEEEEN, (they will probably make her a tranny General, Nerevars gay now bigot) with a little sas against the glass ceiling (in a society that 2/3rds of their gods are women, and where women out live men by a wide margin). although this is a post tribunal morrowind. I am betting for a 15-30% tranny population with it disproportionately being the important and powerful characters (like Asians in the Brotherhood questline in frontier). We should hold a betting pot to be honest when this thing is close to release.

Which is why they like to project on gods like that. We're talking mostly about elves here but it's basically shades of pretentious transhumanism wankery and a 41% chance of zero summing. Saying 'this god is genderfluid' without a hint of irony is cringe for applying modern Earth fringe politics onto characters who are divinely beyond this mortal pettiness.

Aside from the handful of Daedra known to pop up as male or female depending on their whims, but yeah, that's not the same thing. There really shouldn't be anything like Transhumanism in Elder Scrolls, except for Pelinal, but I imagine his raging hate boner towards elves makes him problematic. Besides, Vivec just sounds like a guy who never misses a chance to fuck, Almalexia and Sotha Sil don't really have that reputation, and the Daedra only seem to care when you won't like it.

 

[Troonologist PhD]

I’ve played most of the way through Skyrim. I had to restart the game twice, once because I bought the Special Edition, and the second time because of a quest breaking bug. It got me into the lore and now I want to play the other games.

Woke Neopagans do the exact same thing with the pagan gods that they claim they actually believe in. I’m a Christian and even I think it’s grotesque.

Hey that’s not true. Sanguine would very much approve of the kinky, cisnormative-smashing things they enjoy with each other.

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

Hey that’s not true. Sanguine would very much approve of the kinky, cisnormative-smashing things they enjoy with each other.

Maybe, but only if you were doing it while drunk out of your mind. Especially if it's a drunken hookup with someone you'd rather not have. Sanguine is more about the bad decisions you make while smashed. There's only about two Daedra who don't regularly fuck with people in a negative way and Azura once fucked with an entire race because their leaders pissed her off, and Meridia cares more about stomping the undead than the living, but becoming her servant means you lose your free will. Remember, the Daedra don't really represent evil or chaos, they represent change, except Meridia and Jyggalag, but Meridia isn't a proper Daedra, she's a Manga-Ge who stayed behind, so she's more Stasis aligned like the Aedra and Jyggalag represents the Rebel of the Daedra, much like Lohrkan/Shor/Shezzar is the Rebel of the Aedra.

Oblivion actually has a shocking amount of lore, especially in the expansions and Morrowind is what sets it all up as we currently understand it.
