I originally penned this post back in September of 2013 and left it as a draft. It’s interesting that I saw the same things then that Damon sees now. It makes me wish I had posted it back then rather than wait until now. UESP is the best Wiki in the world when it comes […]
Continue ReadingI hate achievements. I am a “completionist” and I hate achievements (okay, most achievements). One may ask “Nocte, why do you have so many achievements if you hate them so much?” (I really don’t, but that’s beside the point). Allow me to explain. There are three kinds of achievements, in my opinion. 1. The normal-gameplay […]
Continue ReadingAs I was browsing through our collection of maps when I noticed something was a bit odd with almost all of them. Mainly, their names. I had trouble finding any that had the proper naming scheme that we use for images (as described on Help:Images). This was quite the issue, as we have well over […]
Continue ReadingI was going to post about how I’ve been playing Assassin’s Creed lately, but this is an Elder Scrolls blog, and what have I posted about the Elder Scrolls? Wait, you guessed “Nothing”? You’re correct, but this isn’t a game show, so there’s no prize. I just want to discuss a game that I’ve had […]

Likewise, a major video game in modern times like The Elder Scrolls V: […]
Continue ReadingAs a long-time player of Elder Scrolls games, there are a few things that often bother me about the games. The game components are poorly done, the voice acting can be spotty, completing a fraction of the available content has a bad tendency to morph your character into some kind of amoral demigod, hoarding items […]
Continue ReadingAs someone who has been one of the main supporters of the concept of us having a blog, I find it odd that I’ve never taken the time to ever write a blog entry for the blog that I’ve so thoroughly supported. Ever. I’ve encouraged others to do so, but I never actually sat down […]
Continue ReadingI’ll admit I was one of the skeptics at first when Zenimax Online announced that The Elder Scrolls Online was being developed. Bethesda spent nearly two decades making the most incredible and detailed single player RPG experience that I’ve ever played, and then I heard that it was being made into an MMO… It scared […]
Continue ReadingMy initial thoughts on the recent Elder Scrolls Online announcement as a veteran Elder Scrolls fan is a mixture of both excitement and worry. I’m excited to see yet another chapter in the Elder Scrolls series unfold with hopefully more adventures and lore to be discovered. I’ve enjoyed all seven ES games in series to […]
Continue ReadingI’ve been meaning to write something about Skyrim for a couple of weeks, but any time I had a few spare minutes I decided they were better spent actually playing the game than writing about it. Today, I finally feel sated. I don’t mean I’m done playing it, because I’m not, but I no longer […]
