Morrowind is a genuine treasure. One of the high achievements of human creativity. If it were a painting it'd be in a public Gallery.
I'll be talking about this soon as I'm into my first proper playthrough in a few years. But here's a great primer on exactly what makes this unique creation so very special.
#ElderScrolls#Skyrim just had huge update with lots of bug fixes, official Steam Deck support, support for ultra wide monitors and a the new "creations" store.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition - Creations Update Patch Notes
Isn’t it past your bedtime, House Cousin? Presenting the Hlaalu Canton Bunkhouse by Dominik Włodarczyk, Level Design
With NPCs having daily routines in Skywind, they all need places to sleep, thus the need arises for new interiors, such as inn rooms, private quarters, and bunkhouses. Located in the docks, the bunkhouse grants its inhabitants easy access to all of Hlaalu Canton!
Don’t forget the popcorn! 🍿 Arena canton fighting pit, by Oskari Ahde.
Should find yourself in a pesky succession feud during your Skywind adventures, have no fear: you’ll be battling your challenger in a beautifully designed Arena! During your heroic fight, take inspiration from the cozy canopied seating areas, atmospheric tapestries, and of course, the motivational bloodstains.
Need a Halloween costume idea? Imperial Dragonscale armor concept, by Vitaly Muzyka.
This rare armor set guarantees you’ll only face lunatics in battle, since no one in their right mind would fight someone decked out in the skin of an actual dragon.
Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "spineless", with a restricted palette. I've been mostly playing #ESO lately, so I went with a tomeshell, a lesser Daedra that inhabits a book. Cuz, you know, spineless.
The more I study German #folklore, the more I appreciate the in-setting lore of the #ElderScrolls games. Like real folklore, they have a multitude of interpretations and authorial points of view, with some fragments portrayed as fiction written by in-setting authors, while others are written as if they were scholarly treatieses (complete with snarking at other authors!), while others are regional folk tales or other local anecdotes.
It truly makes the setting come alive, in a way few other video game franchises can match.
#Starfield , as the latest #Bethesda game, cannot really match this - perhaps because the settings is still so new and yet underdeveloped. It does have a small number of in-setting texts and lores, but they don't yet weave such a rich tapestry as those of its predecessors.
Today's #pixel_dailies prompt was "tomb", so I pixelled a Dwemer-style door that would befit a tomb entrance. Been on an #ESO kick lately, so this felt appropriate.
