Now that our lovely little blog has been given a face lift, I think it’s time that we get back to using it for its intended purpose, complaining about things that none of us have any control over. Elder Scrolls games often have gigantic casts of characters. What makes this more impressive is that so […]
Continue ReadingAs you may have noticed the blog has been given a minor, and long overdue, update: Upgraded b2evolution from 2.x to 5.x Minor changes to the default skin to make it match the UESP theme Some setting tweaks One thing I must say is that despite jumping 3 major versions of the blog software the […]
Continue ReadingThere’s totally a nonverbal conspiracy where we all post updates together or within a few days of each other! Haha… Nah, not at all. There has been a lot of controversy regarding Master Neloth’s reference to Indoril Nerevar’s reincarnation being referred to as a “he”. Even over a year later users are still complaining on […]
Continue ReadingMorrowind, by far, has always been my favourite of the Elder Scrolls games. Many people complained about its combat system or about the graphics, but I don’t think they truly grasped the beauty of the game. In the early 2000s, game maps were essentially funnels; you had to go here through this specific path, with […]
Continue ReadingI do not want to write this. As a rule, I hate touching on this topic more than it is absolutely necessary. But I already did the teaser in the last entry, so I guess it’s unavoidable now. The Champion of Cyrodiil, the player character from Oblivion, is absolutely the most problematic hero this series […]

While I briefly touched on the issue with talking about what happened to the old heroes, I’m going to go into that a little more now, as promised. As we know, the misuse of […]
Continue ReadingWhile reminiscing about Fable and kicking myself for never actually finishing a game I was so thoroughly enjoying, I got to thinking about something: The effects the player’s decision has on the actual world is virtually non-existent in The Elder Scrolls. In Fable, for instance, when you’re a Hero with a high karma, the people […]
Continue ReadingWhat happens when you take a blank slate of a character, and you make that non-character the main character, or at least the character from whom’s perspective the story is experienced? You get a bunch of people who get extremely attached to the character. When you let them design the character as well, they feel […]
Continue ReadingIt shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone familiar with the series this site is dedicated to when I say that Elder Scrolls games have a lot of items. How many? Well, enough that we don’t even give a second thought to the majority of them. When you have several hundred of any type of item […]
Continue ReadingWow it’s been a while since anyone posted on the blog… So I bought myself a new computer recently, and an iPad, and a 3DSXL. With all these new toys, I’ve had so many games available I cannot decide what to play. Eventually I picked up Pokemon X, the latest instalment in the long-lived series. […]
