The Elder Scrolls: Fruits of Contention - Chapter 1 (Completed)

ESO's nothing too amazing, and it does have the ups and downs associated with MMOs. Still, its lore are solid, even that means ordinary. And the gameplay's obviously different vs. the traditional, singleplayer format, but I enjoy it personally. Zanimax's going a different direction, so I consider it more as a spin-off than TES6. With FO4, they're innovating a lot, for sure. With big franchises like these, changes bound to happen, and as a player, I honestly just enjoy seeing more content.

I'm definitely not going to say I didn't have fun playing it. I stayed up way past any time considered reasonable because I was playing, but I do have to say that I noticed the things I didn't like after the fact. That said, good game, can't wait for mods to fix, change and add things. I hope Bethesda at least listens to some of the critiques, but I know the world of the VG making industry is definitely not catered to the player as much as we'd like it to be, so profits always have to come first. I just want a rich world with big choices where I can RP my own character, but still have it be as graphically upgraded from the original engine NV and FO3 were on. Like I said, both excited and dreading what they do to TES.

Also, I posted.

And I'll read those literary works later.

I don't have it. A friend of mine plays it, but I've heard that there's nothing uniquely TES about it other than "it's set there." The fact they made Elder Scrolls just zany power-ups made me frown. I don't disrespect anyone who does play it, but I don't think I will. Speaking of TES games, what with Bethesda's work on FO4, I'm both excited and dreading what they're going to do to the Elder Scrolls' next installment. They removed a lot of features in FO4 and replaced them with gimmicky ones, I think.

<Snipped quote by gcold>

Long story short, I played Skyrim, and only Skyrim for three years straight. My Xbox broke last year, and I couldn't play anymore, so I've been looking for something to fill the void. I was overjoyed when I saw this rp pop up, as I knew that this would satiate my desire to play Skyrim again!

I've beaten the main storyline, but I was busy trying to beat the DLCs (which I never finished), so to put simply..one simply does not "beat" Skyrim.

@MacabreFox

I beat Skyrim on the X360 and then got it on my laptop. Now, I've downloaded so many mods my game is so fucked I can't even play it.

So, I mean, that's probably the only reason I RP the Elder Scrolls so much.

Also, if anyone wants to use my NPCs for anything short of them dying, I'm open to collabs or just for you guys to use them if it's a short conversation or just having them do a simple task.

I always found it amusing in the battlefield series how you revive dead teammates. They've totally accepted they're going to die and have finally met an end without war and suffering and sadness. Then some jackoff with some defibrilators zaps you and you walk back into the nightmare as he runs off, and he calls from over his shoulder, "Back in the fight, soldier! :DDDDD"

Bosmer. Short lads to be sure, but useful with a bow, useful in the thick brush, useful with building. Unless it had to accommodate Jorwen’s great height. He had to duck extra low beneath the mouth of Daelin’s tent, nodding to Daelin as he went through and the Bosmer nodded back. “Well, shit, you’re a damn sight bigger than when I last saw you. You still in your growing years, are you? Why’re we bringing a giant along?” A Redguard with thin, corded muscles flexing under ebony skin said, rolling his shoulders and popping his knuckles as if he was getting ready to get in the circle with Jorwen instead of a briefing.

“Why’re we bringing a child?” Jorwen grumbled back, narrowed eyes settling on the dark-skinned face below.

Maduras snorted with his hand over his mouth in the corner of the tent and even the Redguard himself cracked a smile and nodded at him. Which was good, he was tired of Dumhuvud and his like. Keegan muttered something under his breath just loud enough to be heard as Daelin went over their plans. Jorwen just shrugged, “A man like Dumhuvud is only put in his place when he’s put in the ground. Hopefully he gets on Thrice-Pierced’s nerves. Wake up with a cut throat, only man in Skyrim more prickly than Cat-Kicker.” He only stuck his chin out and nodded towards Daelin to put their attention on who needed it. He’d be damned if he was killed because he missed something in the briefing.

Oh, Roze replied. I'll have one of my own up soon.

I had Jorwen bow out of the conversation and into the mission planning. Figure Sevine, Roze and Jorwen can find time to talk later.

I think Roze is doing something. Thanksgiving, other stuff.

We've made it to page 2, people. Celebrations are in order.

Jorwen’s brows went up at the mention of battles in Hammerfell. He hadn’t taken the elf for the type to leap into the fray, soldier or no. At the mention of youth, a soft chuckle squeezed past his smiling lips, “Weren’t we all, eh, young and foolish?” Thoughts bringing him to battles long past, fires long past and different men sitting where Keegan was and more around a fire just like this, all long past. He ever so slightly shook his head and regained his smile before he nodded at Keegan’s reminder of Daelin and the dark work coming, “Reckon we should go.” And he stretched a hand away from the fire for Keegan to lead the way.

As they walked, Keegan pointed out Dumhuvud doing his usual rounds, this time to a petite girl that looked like she had no place in this camp. He was about to bring himself over there and let Dumhuvud know where to stick his axe next and ask where in the hells the girl’s parents were before he saw Sevine there. The Wolf-Tooth wasn’t a woman to take lightly. He found himself smiling at how anger was slowly creeping across Sevine’s face after Dumhuvud had pushed past her. He figured he should at least keep Dumhuvud from getting killed, no matter how much he hated the man. “I’ll be along with you. I won’t be long.” He said, walking to the verbal melee.
