Sir Terry Pratchett, who recently passed away surrounded by his family, was a satirist of the highest caliber. TES fans probably know him best for his numerous internationally-renowned fantasy novels, but as I learned recently (thanks, Damon), many PC players also remember and celebrate his collaboration in the Companion Vilja mods for Oblivion and Skyrim […]
Continue ReadingWe’re very focused on business on the wiki. Which is great, because stuff gets done. But it’s also a shame, because some events and achievements deserve a little more attention than a passing position on the Recent Changes list. We’ve got the news section on the main page, but that typically just covers the really […]
Continue ReadingThe UESP has expanded tremendously over the last few years, almost too fast for even an administrator like me to keep up all the time. As it turns out, when your site doubles the number of articles it has in less than a year, some people might lose the script. It doesn’t help that we […]
Continue ReadingYou know what I hate? Complaining. Yes, I understand the intense irony of that claim, but it’s absolutely true. I know that most of my blog posts are nothing but barely concealed rants about the smallest details relating to the series, ranging from complaining about swimming mechanics to lengthy tirades over a simple question, but […]

Continue ReadingThis musing of me was brought about by an IRC discussion going on earlier this evening.The Elder Scrolls Online has been up for playing for the last many days now, because of the early release, and UESP has seen very few new users in response to ESO so far. I remember the deluge that came […]
Continue ReadingEveryone, The Elder Scrolls Online is finally due to be unveiled to pre-order buyers in a few hours, and I’d like to leave a quick Public Service Announcement. UESP is the highest quality fan-based website related to The Elder Scrolls, and it’s for good reason. We have our many high quality, meticulously organised namespaces to […]
Continue ReadingDoes Bethesda like money? Seems like a simple answer, right? Yes, obviously. While people never ask that question, people seem to have extreme doubts over whether or not Bethesda is willing to make the games that just so happen to make them that money they love so dearly. As long as there is more money […]
Continue ReadingI guess I’m about due for a new blog post, considering my last one was… The last time I did it. I also guess I ought to do some UESP-specific postings for once, and there’s something that’s been nagging at me recently about a minor site practice. Well, “nagging at me” is an understatement. I […]
