Oh hey, they're redoing Morrowind...''for fucking Lorerape Online''

Did you like Morrowind? Have you enjoyed exploring Dwemer ruins, battling centurions, and doing quests for the Morag Tong?

Well happy day, you now can do all that in a brand-new DLC for…..

THE ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE

But seriously, what the fuck. How in the hell is this shit even around anymore after it bombed at launch. I thought this shit was dying a slow dead on F2P life support.

It's like someone used an extra-large monkey claw.

I forgot that TESO was a thing, whoa dude

I thought this was dead. Didn't it already go free to play?

Wait. It's already out?

I think so. All I remember is that I got into the open beta, quit the game after two hours because it played like a miscarriage between Skyrim and World of Warcraft, and later saw that it basically was stillborn. Don't ask me where they take the money for fancy CGI trailers from.

Nah, coming out this summer. Read the archive. Kind of funny that the CGI's already out while the Xpac apparently is some four months longer in development.

I thought ESO already had the whole map of Tamriel at launch?
So is this just new content on Vvardenfell or was Morrowing actually not accessible before?

wew lad
They were flukes and Beth was always a shit company.

Also the lore was never consistent, even Morrowind's lore wasn't the same as the two that came before it.

I'm pretty sure it just had disconnected questing zones, not a continuous map.

Considering that even TORtanic still manages to hang on somehow i'm not that surprised.
As long as they can keep down costs by doing shit maintenance and milk the goyims with cash-shops, this shit is apparently profitable enough to keep running.

Nope, questing zones only. Other areas were blocked due the "Khanaten Flu" (which made no sense because at least Argonians are immune against it).

A google search shows this is buy to play

Implying bethesda knows anything about it's lore. Implying the flu would be a problem when the flu is typically not deadly to a healthy individual. Implying they don't have fucking potions, and magic that could cure everything but a divinely inspired disease. Implying this game wasn't only made to be a scam with the TeS name over it.

Shouldn't it be called TESO: Vvardenfell? There are areas in the mainland Morrowind province already in the game.

False. The Flu took place during a period in time when the Restoration school of magic and its associated spells were essentially just starting to come into play, alchemy was far less developed, and this knowledge was not spread wide enough for it to have any effect, especially for the common peasants in butt-fuck nowhere.

Just because Zenimax Online doesn't know their shit doesn't give you an excuse to say shit that's blatantly wrong.

They removed the monthly subscription you were supposed to pay on top of actually buying the game, and added micro-transactions in its place.

The fuck? Can dunmeri even have male pattern baldness?

That was really nice video for such shitty game. I think i sympathized with the bald dunmer more than i should had.

Being killed by a druid spic and a strong womyn is a really shitty way to go.

And getting betrayed by argonian crew, who bitched out from that "strong woman" without any explanation. Never trust lizards to protect you.

The morag tong paid them off. They also hired strong womyn and nigger with nigger bear to stop that dagon worshipper from going into the ruins and awakening the patriarchy. The quest is going to be all about that guy and how he hates outlanders and women and then the morag tong will defeat him so all the foreigners can be let into Morrowind and make it diverse.

God i hope bethesda won't go full sjw in next elder scrolls game.

Also want to roleplay an oldfag dunmer now. What to install, Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim?

Morrowind. Only way to go. You're an N'wah for considering otherwise.

Is this at least a money sink? Please it let it hurt Bethesda. I know that MMOs are expensive. At least, people know EA is evil. Bethesda's titles are taint. Standards erode.

How?

kids and normalfags.

...

So does TeS online not have a lot of restoration spells? Some random ass altmer turned himself into a lich demi-god, and you're telling me there were no good restoration spells at this time?
Even the ashlanders could make potion of cure disease throughout their history, morrowind would have them. And that doesn't change the fact ingredients from plants that have always been there would also cure these diseases to. The flu would be no reason to say this area can't be entered.

I hate what eso did to the mer.

They went full SJW in skyrim. Hmmmm let me think about my first play through I saw….

1. A nord woman say "What's the matter never seen a strong nord woman before." as I walked past her.
2. A girl bullying a young bow.
3. A female fighter beat a male fighter in the HoC.
4. A squad of companions led by a stronk woman that killed a totally peaceful giant bro. They don't attack unless threatened or you get too close. Fuck that bitch.
5. A female Jarl, don't care if that's lore accurate or not.
6. A female blacksmith.

And there is probably a ton of stuff I forgot about. TeS is dead user, they killed it.

*a young boy

stop the fucking presses

These generic nu-wrpg armor designs are so fucking boring and uninspired, I can barely differentiate eachother, almost as bad as the WoW kiddie "old" generic style. What game started this shit, dragon age?

what actor face it is?
it rustles me jimmys that i can't remember, but i'm sure i've seen that face before
or is it has upper half from one and bottom from another? it kinda looks so

it still has an active userbase my buddy plays with a crew of people every night

For real, user is acting like a girl bullying a boy is a new thing. The concept of girls bullying boys they are attracted to has been around for decades. Besides girls tend to hit puberty first so right around that age that's how they act

Its more alive then this shitty fucking board.

user, Dark elves are fantasy sandniggers.


What did you expect of fantasy beaners?

Honestly of all of the SJW things you could have picked, you chose nitpicks… Here is a more solid case: the game tries the best to guilt trip you for siding with Ulfric Stormcloak for wanting to liberate Skyrim by making him a evil racist that oppresses elves and non-Nords, and setting him up as controlled opposition for the greater evil in the setting, the Thalmor. Because if they didn't do any of these things than players would have sided mostly with the Stormcloaks than the Empire.

monkey PAW

Oh boy, can't wait to re-experience my favorite feelings from that game. I'll never forget seeing a netch for the first time from far off, floating in a boggy haze out there. I wondered if it's even an animal because it's so alien in appearance. I wondered if it was dangerous or not, I wanted to investigate for the sake of curiosity. Lets see what they're like in TESO…

...

All these stupid CG trailers just blend together for me. It's just a bunch of action scenes thrown together building up to what's supposed to be a big reveal of some generic, big enemy.

It was pretty obvious a Vvardenfell expansion was in the works. The last content release was practically winking and nudging the player with the main questline's ending mentioning how something was going on over there. I just hope they don't ruin "muh lore" too much like the rest of the game has done to TES. get ready for them to butcher Vivec


A good portion of Tamriel can be visited. Mainland Morrowind included. Vvardenfell was closed off. Credit where it's due, they did a good job recreating the landscape + landmarks that were in the TES games where it made sense. Anvil for example has all the buildings you remember in the exact same locations as they were in TES4. But they also fucked up the provinces that hadn't been featured by making them boring and generic, such as Black Marsh with Argonians being caricatures of Aztecs every fucking line they speak.


Holy fuck, you're fucking reaching hard, user. Borderline bait. They're not rubbing it in your face and trying to rewrite history by saying TES5 was the first to do such things.

The worst thing that I know Bethesda has done outright was when Todd said there would be female main characters(!) in the Fallout 4 announcement and all the idiot bloggers in the audience cheered after deluding themselves into thinking it wouldn't be happening. Though that was probably just him playing to their victim complexes to score some cheap points like the merchant he is. TESO is a lot more guilty of the type of bullshit you're worried about with plenty of gay NPCs compounded with bad dialogue writing across the board.

Sorry to tell you this, user, but that's a fucking lie. Server costs are negligible on games like this. They probably got it covered for a few years only with the base game profits(not including monthly fees and micro-transactions).

I knew when this MMO got announced we wouldn't see another main Elder scrolls game for a long time. Its probably a good thing considering we'll get a voiced protag, dialog wheel and perks only for leveling up.

Oh good, I cant wait to see how Zenimax rapes whats left of the lore next. I suppose they ran out of the other history to cannibalize for their mmo and need to dip fully into their game with the richest lore to abuse.

I expected porn, or at least a retching netch.

My first thought was "This thing is still alive?"
I mean fuck, do none of these shit games ever die anymore?

of fucking course the trailer is pandering to nigger and woman, it's the cool thing now isn't it?

Do nogs even play TES? I doubt it.

...

I played the beta, lost interest, trolled

Got back into about 3 months ago, lost interest, trolled

Its just that the game is so fucking boring, it was made for people who dont give a shit about anything but running around and grinding, trading, or other bullshit that is so common within mmorpgs. There is no motivation to actually play the game, and you find yourself often physically tired and exhausted just by doing the same fucking thing over and over again. The storyline is fucking atrocious, and has you focusing on yet another fucking daedric nigger trying to absorb nirn. I initially got into the game thinking that there was gonna be a faction centric storyline in which youd grow loyal towards certain factions based on personal similarities with the ideals, come to find out every faction is the fucking same and you might as well just focus on maxing characters through a long and frankly tedious grind.

If all of that wasnt enough, there is not even race loyalty. Every respectable Nord player has atleast one Dunmer alt, which entirely saddens me. Why the fuck would you ever at any point choose the race that cultivates mushrooms and two legged, oversized, retarded frog horses. All Elves are fucking awful, but the Dark Elves are absolutely downright disgusting with their pretentious, cowardly dispositions

To be fair, that has been falsely reported. I remember when anons started pushing that "news" here on Holla Forums and i watched the part from the presentation.
A girl in the audience asked Todd "Can we play as a female too" -which is a fucking retarded question since you could do that in any other Bethesda game before- and Todd simply replied with "Yes you can play as a female".

It was a retarded question that was answered surprisingly correctly by Todd and that's it.
He didn't announce it like some sort of feature like many made it out to be.
Bethesda is responsible for enough stupid shit to be angry about, there's no need for us to make stuff up.

maximum wew

I saw the presentation too. If someone asked a question in the audience, I certainly couldn't hear it then or after watching it again.
youtu.be/HTq3q8e8nhA?t=429

So what story reason will they have for no playable beast races?

i love how no one ever really quotes the actual in game "book" you find. while it states that the war is useful for the thalmore it more or less says that what they really want is a long drawn out war. while if either side wins both parties will be stronger for it. a free skyrim means the imperials can just focus on their own borders without being steached out and a conquered skyrim gives them more manpower and resources. Ulfric is not one of their assets but they see him as something they can use to weaken the empire. not like it really matters anyway seance elves take fucking ever to replace their lost population and humans breed competitively like rats so round two should be a fucking joke anyways. considering that every one supposedly took to many losses in the fighting. something, something, what happened to the snow elves?

Morag Tong gets to assasinate anyone, they arent the fucking Dark brotherhood, if you are tong you can stride into a Bar in full Plate armor, stick your blade into the guy and show the guard your morag tong writ, they salute you and go.

Welcome to Morrowind

Fucking Tumblr is sperging so hard about Vivec beeing a "herm", aperently its a "slur" to thoes stupid faggots.

Every single TES thread.
Getting so tired of this shit, the outcome is gonna be irrelevant one way or another.
The Thalmor are gonna win in the end according to C0DA, but that just means theyll all be gone.

i played ESO a bit and thought it was okay i guess. played an argonian. but it kept crashing cause it didn't like my factory overclocked GPU and I haven't touched it since.

Maybe if you could date Argonian maids as a free DLC maybe ES:O wouldn't have sucked as bad as it did.

No, they assassinate targets within the bounds of House Wars and sanctioned guidelines (and occasionally for Mephala). And generally making a scene is frowned upon, so it's much more likely that they'd slip poison in his drink or just slash his throat in an alley. The writ is just a backup in case there's no alternative and they have to kill someone in a public place. The whole point of the Morag Tong is to prevent violent and bloody feuds between Houses, showing up in plate male and stabbing some poor fucker to death doesn't really accomplish that.

You could do it in Morrowind, generaly the point is that a third party does it and thats what stops the feuds from happening, there is no telling who placed the order and it got sanctioned by the Tong.
Yes making a mess is frowned upon because its bad for business but realy they are technically allowed to do it.
And either way the guards will not interfere, as shown in this video.

come on now son, you can do better than that.

i fucked up, video is the Blur trailer, guards just fucked off when they saw she was Morag Tong.
Honestly the trailer was good only for the last 10 seconds that shows big ass Baar Dau over Vivec city. Sure its nostalgia bait, but ever since the Skywind development slowed to a crawl i needed some nostalgia bait for once.

Beats stormcloaks discussions or "does C0DA mean all nonsense lore is canon now?"

I never played Fallout 4 because of this, if they do that with Elder Scrolls its a mistake.

...

That's because no one of value wants to post a board run by Jewish rulecuck.

That at least explains your presence.

...

Of course it does, Zenimax Online doesn't know shit about the lore.
A top-tier wizard from the Psijic Order used magic to turn himself into a lich. The god part didn't come until later. Necromancy is not Restoration.

I'm not saying that means didn't exist at all to not get killed off, and I'm not saying the Flu isn't a massive cop-out to lock out areas. What I am saying is that there's a damn good reason it wiped out most of the population.

On the other hand, if you want to speculate, there's the fact that the Flu might have been resistant to disease curing alchemy and magics. In Morrowind, for instance, normal diseases and blight-derived diseases had to be cured differently, and corprus was on another level entirely. The Flu certainly wasn't corprus-tier, but it was speculated to be of magical origin, which would make it a different matter than simply curing the common cold.

It's not really surprising. MMOs mainly live off whales now. Why need thousands of people spending $10 a month for a sub when you can have 100 people paying $1000 a month?

I've never understood the appeal of MMO: they're just interactive chatrooms.

Or maybe that is the appeal? Online is for shit posting not friendships.

well according to ESO the Flu is not just a normal disease but potentially related to either the Barsaebic Ayleids or some Argonian Tech that predates the Ayleids.
They have these "keystones", i can only assume that this is something related to the "Eye of argonia" since thats also supposed to be a key to a lost city.

In ESOs lore the Argonians are a post apocalyptic society , with their actual culture long dead and only the Hist remembering what it was all about, occasionally telling some important argonian one fragment or another.

I beta tested this and dropped it as soon as it went pay to play. When ZOS came to their senses I rejoined. Bought gold edition for DLC so I don't have to sub to "rent" everything. Was able to login with my beta testing account.

So now you spent $50 and don't have to pay monthly to eat shit?
Amazing deal my friend!

Bought on sale. If I pay $50 for a game I hope to get a minimum of 50 hours out of it. I have days worth in ESO by now.

...

I've been playing with my guild, it's pretty fun that way. It's far from the worst MMO out there but the lore rape is pretty egregious. I would never have paid for it myself but my brother bought it for me since he knew I liked tes games. Never played before one tamerial so I can't really comment on the state of if then, I just recall the launch being beyond abysmal.


no, it's not a shitposting chatroom, most of the zones are basically leddit and tumblr. Riften is beyond cancer, I usually go there to banepost and piss off the furfags for being "breaking their immersion". If you get someone butthurt you'll get stupid bans like this.

TORtanic is rumoured to be headed for shutdown since EA is in full cashgrab mode and bleeding subs left right and center. Apparently they may shut it down for something new.

Damn, those Dwemer Centurions look badass.

That better be their katana magic that sunk their island. Fucking even the mmo is going DIVERSITY now. Morag tong is for the fucking DUNMER! May a thousand cliffracers descend upon the fuckers who made this.

The Redguard is not Morag Tong, the Redguard is supposed to represent the Player, which is why he looks so generic.
in the other Trailer the Player was represented by a Nord and a Breton respectiveley.

I dont know why theyve chosen a Redguard for the Nature based class it kinda doesnt fit, but either way this guy isnt with the tong, the Dunmer Girl is a recurring NPC in the game that has occasionally recruited the PC to do her handywork, you eventually figure out shes with the Tong but she never tells you outright i think.

Oh, ok. Good.

Wow… what a gay. :'^)

well, I mean in morrowind during main quest you meet an argonian who is part of morag tong, so I guess it's not that far fetched.

hate speech like that isn't allowed on a family friendly image posting space.

OK Holla Forums this is waaaay to much SJWism, by this logic beathzda WENT FULL sjw when the released Redguard the game long ago.

Can you stop being triggered over the melanin of fictional characters?

The Argonians are a post-apocalyptic society. The Hist came over from the previous Kalpa and started dropping off Argonians.


That's 3rd Era Morrowind after Imperial conquest and cucking, not 2nd Era Morrowind.


Nigger that "special super magic" was fucking spells from Skyrim. It's dumb as shit to make a Redguard the spell-caster, I agree, but that's hardly an appropriate complaint.

The real tragedy is we've never gotten to see fucking Redguard sand magic that allegedly exists.

read the thread

TESO is still alive? I thought they gave up not too long ago.

Strangely enough it's fairly profitable for an MMO, tugging just behind Final Fantasy.
If i remember correctly its playerbase is mostly consolefags who as we all know have shit taste anyway playing this.

its been doing fairly well since it got rid of the leveling requirement and let you go into any zone from the start.

Game has imrpoved a lot since launch, but people still sperg about that

If anything, he is discrimination of redguards. Its like defending nigger actor in SW7, just because he's poc. All characters in this trailer do not look like proper representation of their races.

To be fair it was already diverse by the time Elder Scrolls III even takes place. Tamriel has managed to brook an opening on Vvardenfell, so the Imperial offices and empire at large has made considerable progress in colonizing the island. It's just the Ashlanders, the Camonna Tong, and the Sixth House that really wants to see you and every outlander gone.

As others have stated it's majority Dunmer, but other races are legal members as well. There's at least one Nord, one Argonian, and one Orc. It's the Camonna Tong that is exclusively Dunmer.


It's more like knowing that Bethesda chose the Redguard specifically because it'll get them brownie points with the overly PC crowd instead of having any legitimate reason to include him there.

No

animation was nice though.

And you said you didn't understand the appeal of MMOs…

its ok when the gooks do it

ESO takes place before the Imperial conquest of Morrowind, back when the extreme views of the Cammona Tong's were just called normal

Theres no evidence of this beeing true.
i know no lore book saying that the imperial conquest did anything to change the opinions of the dunmer overall.
Fairly sure the Foresters Guild was never Dunmer only.
And again so far in ESO we have only seen three membrs of th Tong, all of which are Dunmer, the Redguard is NOT part of the Tong he is suposed to represent the Player Character who can be of any race.

I don't know what's worse, the fact you'll never do anything like this in game or the fact the bear's walking was motion captured by two people in a taur suit

Here, have some references into earlier Dunmer behavior

uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Pocket_Guide_to_the_Empire,_1st_Edition/Morrowind

>Many of these practices have since fallen into disfavor. The most obvious changes are those regarding the practice of Necromancy and the Great Ghostfence. Dunmer today regard Necromancy upon any of the accepted races as an abomination

(this one is literally about morag tong killing some dunmer nobles they deemed tainted by foreign influence)

I just started playing morrowind for the first time any tips?

Become an alchemist.

Dont use icarian flight.
In Caldera in House Gnorak you can steal free Ork armor.
Creeper also in House Gnorak buys items for their full value and has 5000 draken.
Boots of Blinding speed + Magic resistance = fun times
Get the ring from the tree stump in seyda neen.
Tul is an asshole, dont trust him if youre low level.


also this.

Thats horrible advice for a first time player, what the fuck?

Get the delayed brotherhood attack and solsheim rumor fix and ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION to your build. Focus on getting one weapon skill high and then use that weapon.

Oh come on, for one you dont need the delayed brotherhood attack, its just free loot every couple of days that you can sell pretty highly.

I mean "dont suck" should be a no brainer, if hes played any TES game he probably knows to focus on one weapon skill.

Either way the most important piece of advice for any new player: STAMINA IS TIED TO YOUR HIT CHANCE

This killed be a lot when i played this game as a kid, always have full stamina when going into combat.

Also dont go to Wolverine Hall, its a maze and nothing important is there.

TSO is probably the best MMO on the market right now behind FFXIV, which may blow your mind after its shit launch but it developed into a solid game.

Use a spear, its the most fun weapon type and lategame spears exist.
Spears are the only engaging melee weapon type as you have to watch your distance, anything else is just dice rolling.

If you want to go with any non two handed weapon type there is literaly no reason not to use block too.

Get smithing up too because youll need it, enchanting is realy good in this game so dont skip it either.

Generaly magic can do almost anything and makes a lot of other skills like lockpicking and speechcraft virtually obsolete. Walk places, its more fun,

know that in Vivec there are all 3 types of fast travel that dont include propylon chambers, by which i mean Boats, Striders and Mages Guilds, so it makes for a good place to switch fast travel methods.

Carrying divine intervention can be usefull but not if you are in telvanni lands as it will teleport you to wolverine hall which as said before is a complete dogshit place you dont want to be in.


sssshhh, no making sense now, only muh narrative that its the worst thing that ever happened to TES lore, btw Oblivion was a great game and did nothing wrong.

I agree that you dont need delayed brotherhood attack but ive seen too many newbies post about getting wrecked way too much. Killing him also gives you armor thats worth way too much which is why I recommend it

Getting money is way too easy in morrowind anyway if you know where creeper or let alone the mudcrab merchant is.

And almost anything remotley rare is worht a lot, while buying stuff cheap is also very easy, especialy if you buy broken gear and repair it yourself.

That's the problem.

ESO is lively. Houses soon. Remember house in UO?

Lynch yourself, nigger.

Doesn't even look like a dunmer. just lookas like a guy with fucking makeup. How can people stand this shit! Even Skyrim managed to not fuck this up.

You pay for the game but there's no monthly costs after that. Idiots will buy anything with TES on it so there's no need to actually make it F2P.

I thought TES:O wasn't canon, and that it's set before the actual elder scrolls games or some bullshit?

That's not even to mention that elder scrolls games haven't been good for a long time, who gives a shit if they ruin the lore.
It's not like they're going to push a patch to morrowind and retcon everything. That would take too much effort.

So many fucking jewish zenimax shills on this board.

go the fuck back to halfchan you stupid jew faggots.
