RE: Avali Nexus Forum Thread 3: A crowd. - Surge - 10-01-2015 "I kinda want my khajiit to look like a tiger" mods got you covered Thorald critically misunderstood the last annual forsworn official uniform memo. RE: Avali Nexus Forum Thread 3: A crowd. - Surge - 10-01-2015 Armor so badass it can make a cat look intimidating. alright enough screenshots time for playing. *fanboy noises* RE: Avali Nexus Forum Thread 3: A crowd. - Shaadaris - 10-01-2015 (10-01-2015, 10:20 PM)Surge Wrote: -snippity snoop- Are the glowing Khajiit eyes vanilla?

Also, am I the only one who's very pissed off that every Elder Scrolls game is pretty much limited to a single breed of Khajiit when canonically there are 16 (17 if you include the Mane) breeds? I mean, not that playing as an Alfiq would be practical at all, but the humanoid breeds on the other hand...

Coincidentally that fact is also my entire justification for the khajiit barbarian. anyways this mod will add some glow, not as much as my eyes there but you'll have more color options http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/4779/?

I think one more breed showed up in Oblivion once or twice or something... But still, the fact that at any given location every Khajiit seems to be the same breed is a bit... Umm... Incredibly stupid. And sadly, there don't even seem to be many good mods to put all the other humanoid breeds in. I mean this one looks very well made but I don't know if this is their canonical appearance or not. According to wikis, they appear in Arena, but they aren't the playable breed and I can't seem to find any images for comparison.

Good point... That would be fixed if they would just put the bloody breeds in a game... C'mon, so many people want Elsweyr to be TES:VI, make it happem Bethesda!

If they put the next installment in Elseweyr they basically have no choice, unless they want an immense lore-breaking immersion-killing example of Gameplay and Story Segregation... I'm rather hoping they do, though. Elseweyr seems like a really interesting place.

The TES games generally have very far reaching effects, both oblivion and Skyrim dealt with Armageddons, so we've saved the world at least twice now, what's left to threaten Tamriel as a whole? The Aldmeri Dominion.

(Redguard?) Summerset (Alinor now I guess, whatever) I think they want to keep relatively mysterious (I mean ignoring TES:O) and I don't think they let many non-Altmer in during the 4th era. Of course, if it was set in Summerset, there's a higher than normal chance we'd get to see more of the Psijic Order again, which I really want. I know Daggerfall was set in part of High Rock but I have a feeling they might revisit it (and Orsinium by extension) in a new installment since they're running out of places mostly comprised of Human/Elf races. Perhaps Valenwood? Argonia is pretty much "NO" unless they only do the outer reaches and the parts of the Morrowind mainland they conqured, or unless it's somehow become less suicidally dangerous to pretty much everyone.

"The prophecy" doesn't every game pretty much have a new prophecy? Also if ES:O is the last stage of the Elder Scrolls then I'm going to go straight to whoever's in charge and punch them in the face. The games are too popular for them to just stop making them.

Only in Skyrim were these events connected in any way with the Alduin's Wall prophecy, retroactively. So basically, they were making it up as they went along and will probably continue to do so. Skyrim was a nice end to the prophecy introduced in Skyrim.(10-02-2015, 12:30 AM)Shaadaris Wrote: "The prophecy" doesn't every game pretty much have a new prophecy?I can't recall the entire prophecy off the top of my head but it's been a LONG time making.

"With no Emperor to serve, the Blades now return to our ancient role. We will bide our time until the next Dragonborn arises." According to random internet person. Not a prophecy so much as foreshadowing for the next game, which they were probably already planning. Heck, there are probably hints towards the next game somewhere in Skyrim, probably just well hidden without context to look for.

As I've already stated, something that seems relatively mysterious is the Psijic Order's sudden disappearance (along with their island) between the Oblivion and Skyrim. It is only used a little in the Mage's Guild questline, and the Order takes away the Eye of Magnus, saying, paraphrased, that "the world isn't ready for it yet". Seems like a point to jump off of, especially considering that next to none of that is explained; their disappearance, the eye, etc. |
