I had the opportunity and privilege to make art for this game. Can't wait to see it released.

What a journey huh. From a humble fanartist to actually working on an IP that defined my own journey as an artist.

Fucking congrats! That's amazing.

Happy 24-6-01!

Morrowind's main quest rewrite.

Premise: Vvardenfell appears to be approaching an economic collapse, with widespread shortages and business failures. Silt Strider executive Darvame Hleran and her lover, limeware magnate Arrille, struggle against Septim Dynasty and House Hlaalu, who want to exploit their productivity. They discover that a mysterious figure called Dagoth Ur is persuading other business leaders to abandon their companies and disappear (and/or grow face-tentacles) as a strike of productive individuals against the Cyrodiil Empire...

I always wondered what was the dynamics of this family! Little Ranni has always been a rebel! Hehehe!

I'm a Skyrim modder and I wanna weigh in on this.

1. If you find a mod you like, leave a comment or send a nice DM and endorse the mod! We often get nasty comments if NPCs aren't flawless supermodels or something doesn't fit the Nexus Mods "beauty" standards, and all mods are lucky if 10% of downloaders return to endorse the mod. So please encourage the kind of mod you want to see.

2. If you can't find mods to suit your taste, develop the skills to make/edit for yourself! I am not kidding about this: no one springs forth knowing the mysteries of the Creation Kit/SSE Edit/etc. The game is ancient and there are so many tutorials and forum posts out there. (I've posted one about making NPCs with RaceMenu specifically on this blog.)

3. Very few modders set out to appeal to other people. The first person we appeal to is ourselves (unless you're raking in Patreon cash or somethin.) So if a mod doesn't appeal to you, just scroll past or block the modder (which hides their content from your dash.) (unless that shit violates site rules, then report and block.)

Anyways, you can't change what kind of content is uploaded, but you can support your favorite mods, learn to make mods that appeal to you, and block/ignore the chaff.

In my minecraft world my stronghold was a barren island surrounded by a massive field of coral :0

Ooo! Drop the seed? Was it for Java or Bedrock?

Howdy! This was on Java and the seed is "-6275692550458834164". The approximate location for this stronghold is:

X: 944.681

Y: 62.07326

Z: -1694.534

You do need to dive to get at it, I'd recommend some waterbreathing potions!

@void-687 Here’s the seed ^_^!

To clarify any confusion, yes, this goes hard as fuck and is extremely metal

Diablo + Elder Scrolls convergence vibes.

One step closer for the Necromancer to become akin to the True Necromancer, a Priest of Rathma.

I still yearn for Corpse Explosion...

This will be a long post but I've been thinking about this since last night.

I get a pit in my stomach when I think about the new Fallout TV show and the chance TES may get a show if the Fallout show is super successful.

I've been hearing the show has been pretty good, but ive also heard some grim rumblings and worries about certain directions Bethesda/Amazon are taking lore-wise in the Fallout show. Apparently Todd has said everything in the show is canon.

I've not watched it myself as I'm not a huge TV watcher in general, but I don't know if I want to see Bethesda or an outside studio make massive changes to TES lore which affect both past and future installments in TES purely for the sake of "making good TV".

I am most certainly not a "modern Bethesda" hater or of the opinion that modern TES/Fallout games are bad. I pretty much love them all. (I even enjoyed Starfield, huge glaring flaws and all!)

I genuinely believe they are trying their best to make fun games. I also understand they have had a lot of struggles over the past decade+, particularly in company direction and budgeting of necessary resources (pre-Microsoft acquisition).

The old Zenimax upper management was awful (Trumps brother was literally on the Zenimax board of Directors before he died). And infamously refused budget allocations towards serious game engine improvements that were desperately needed. Bethesda has had alot of struggles but I feel they have always tried to do the best they can, even if the final result is middling.

I am also not a Todd hater. Even if he's not necessarily the best game designer, he has a lot of heart and passion and seems to genuinely care about Bethesda and its employees. I am glad he seems to have a genuinely good relationship with Microsoft and I have high hopes for Bethesda's future in the long term.

All that said, there are just certain changes that can happen when "Hollywood comes knocking" per se., even if most of the main creative decisions still come from Bethesda. TV shows can be fantastic and lauded with praise but if they are based on an established property with established lore, they often ultimately go in creative directions which negates the lore and other non-TV entries in the series.

Just look at GOT. It started off amazingly, and GRR Martin had a direct hand in all the early series. It was the best show on TV until suddenly GRR was no longer involved directly and the show runners started making their own decisions. They started ignoring established lore and making "changes and improvements" which nose dived the series by the end.

Perhaps I am paranoid, but I can see something similar happening to Fallout if the show is big and keeps getting new series. Furthermore, I hold a deep dread that TES may be next. Just think, how many people talk about GOT anymore? How many people are hyped for the next book(s) in the series? The books didn't get bad right? Only the TV show did.

But that's my point. If Fallout or TES have these big smash initial hits on TV but begin to fail after a while, it damages the series as a whole, not just the TV show. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see TES/Fallout TV shows be nothing but great. I just worry as I've been hearing of major major lore changes being made by the Fallout show. These changes are irrevocable and utterly change the lore of that series, and not necessarily for the better. I'll try to refrain from further judgment on that, but I'll leave with this question:

What if TES had a super quality and popular TV show which negated large parts of pre-Oblivion lore? Suddenly, due to the show, innumerable people/places/things which were iconic to the TES series were no longer around or perhaps not even canon anymore? What if those things were just lost or written off for the sake of a TV show?

As a fan of TES, and maybe even of that TV show, how would that make you feel?

I'm am not trying to stir controversy here, but I think we as a fandom need to have more public discussions about this. We also need to be prepared to not dump on any new changes to the series or lore without giving them a fair shake. Something being "new and different" does mean its awful. Changes can be good or bad but they must be carefully considered.

I hope this new Fallout show's premiere will provide us a good chance to consider the future of TES media and lore outside the games before any changes are announced or made.

I absolutely echo these feelings of trepidation here.

I've yet to start watching the series and try not to read about it to avoid spoilers, but from what little that has slipped through I already see two distinct camps on the lore (potential changes mainly) in the show.

I have faith in the people behind TES in a way that I don't for Fallout (which might be a fickle distinction, but still). I was expecting Blades to be a canonical nightmare cash cow, and even though it's badly monetised, the shallow lore it provides just builds upon established stuff. Fallout 76 is packed with new lore, lots of amazing stuff that I adore (and monthly makes me consider playing it) and from what I've watched/read there no big stuff that outright contradicts established stuff, but the fact that it's set so much sooner after the Great War and involves known factions does make the previously established timeline more muddied.

Now take the Skyrim board game! This isn't where I'd expect to come upon any meaningful lore of any kind, but the developers and writers worked with people from Bethesda and it's been given a stamp of canonicity. And the lore added is also quite good and intriguing! That's the straw that I cling to, the level of dedication to TES that I just don't see with Fallout.

this is the plot right?
