If you obsessively read everything on UESP you may have noticed one or two cryptic posts like this and this lately. What are these ESM and ESP files, and why are Daveh, Nephele and I trying to pull them apart? Take a look in your Oblivion program directory and you’ll find a few different files. […]
Continue ReadingI wanted to share some of my thoughts about what I foresee happening on UESP when Skyrim is released — beyond the obvious points, such as that UESP is going to get alot more traffic. These thoughts are in part based on what I witnessed when Shivering Isles was released — which was the last […]
Continue ReadingOf all the new features introduced in TES V: Skyrim, the one that has UESP’s active editors simultaneously wriggling with delight and squirming with horror is “Radiant Story”. At its most basic level, this seems to be a way of avoiding the problem with some quests in Morrowind and Oblivion where you could screw them […]
Continue ReadingObviously, my first thought when TESV: Skyrim was announced was about how much I’m going to enjoy playing it, but as more and more articles appear, we’re beginning to get an idea of what we can expect and how it’s going to affect UESP. One of my own first reactions was annoyance at hearing Mysticism […]
Continue ReadingI’ve recently returned from an extended work trip to Mexico and thought I’d continue my delayed blogging with some statistics on the UESP web site. Daily Hits = 600,000 — About 95% of the site’s traffic is from the Wiki with only about 2% from the various maps, 2% from the forums and less than […]
Continue ReadingIt’s just closing up on the fourth anniversary of the forums now. Our girl, she’s growing up.:>> We celebrated this year by holding a few competitions in writing, art, and even a competition for the Mod-team’s avatars and signatures. We didn’t have quite as many entries as I’d hoped, but it was still fun going […]
Continue ReadingHiya! My name is Ricky and I’m a Moderator over on the UESP Forums. I just thought I’d bring a touch of the forum life over here to the blog. I’m not even sure what that means, but it sounded good in my head when I signed up for this. Oh, an introduction? Is that […]
Continue ReadingWell, I would introduce myself, but I did that just last week over here… Anyways, the UESP got a mention in the most recent edition of Game Informer (Issue #199) in an article called ‘Lore Masters’ that featured an interview with Kurt Kuhlmann, a developer over at Bethesda. When discussing The Infernal City Kuhlmann said […]
Continue ReadingAs you can see from the picture below, I may very well need professional help: I decided a while ago to go ahead and order the custom plates and finally got around to getting to the driver’s bureau and putting them on my car. Feel free to give a friendly honk if you happen to […]
Continue ReadingWhile there’s a brief history of the UESP on the Wiki I’d thought I would tell it in more detail from the beginning. Ultimately I suppose it all began when I was grade 5 (1984ish) when my elementary school got their first computers. This was my first real introduction to video games and it continued […]
