What in Oblivion was that?!

Did he write slay or lay...? Dammit Avenicci, get a better handwriting...

As a saxhleel tribe that lived in the ash wastes of Stonefalls we mostly dealt with the Ashlander tribes that inhabit these areas. Simple folk that keep mostly to themselves.

But once in a while you see Dunmer from cities, like Davon' Watch or Ebonheart. Even as far as Necrom or Mournhold. We used to avoid these Mer, out of fear of imprisonment and slavery. But the scouts that kept an eye on them listened in on their conversations. Conversations about War and Great Houses but most importantly,

They talked about non-stop about the Tribunal... The Living Gods of Morrowind.

When I first had the "pleasure" of meeting the tribunal I noticed something...

Almalexia and Vivec, Mother Morrowind and The Warrior Poet... They couldn't care less about the people, all they care about is themselves and their power. Almalexia would raze Mournhold in an instant and Vivec keeps a giant meteorite as weapon.

The only one of the three that seems different is Sotha Sil, the Clockwork God. There is something... Somber about him. Sadness in his eyes and a regret about the past. And I think, unlike his compatriots he cares about those who worship him...

But in the end, when you listen to the Ashlander about their beliefs and opinions, there is one phrase that always repeats when talking about the Tribunal. From the Kagesh and Ulath of Stonefalls, to the Verenasu of Deshaan, the Urshilaku, Erabenimsun, Ahemmusa and Zainab of Vvardenfell, the phrase of...

Foul Murderer.

Happy Witches Festival, beekos!

May you scare your Neighbours so good that you'll get the biggest sweet roll but be aware of the things that go bump in the dark...

Oh boy my first playthrough was a doozy :D

I watched a few videos of the game on YouTube before owning it for myself so I kinda knew what was happening in it (not completely tho)

Most importantly I knew how awesome Power Armor is

So I looked up a guide on how to get the Training early by glitching through the rubble on the side of the Citadel and then walking through the void underneath to a door that lead to the Courtyard.

So I skidaddle my ass through the void straight to Elder Lyons who goes "I'm sorry for your loss, James was a great man."

I didn't know he died and I still had the quest to find him so I was like "oookay?". Now here begins the Sequence Break I accidentally started :D

Getting myself Power Armor Training, play a bit of the BoS Quest until I escape from Raven Rock and then I decided to finally find Dad.

Found Dad, Rescued Dad and wanted to meet at Jefferson Memorial but you probably know... That shit is occupied by the Enclave now, due to the Sequence Break :D

So I march with Liberty Prime and stand side by side with my Dad while we shot the Enclave to kingdom come!

As long as I live, I will never forget the Picture of my Dad amongst the bodies of fallen Enclave and Dr. Li's Science Team Members in the shadow of Liberty Prime, while I rushed in with Sarah to Kill Colonel Autumn. I wish I knew what would've happened if I had Broken Steel but that save game was long gone when I got the DLC.

So yeah that's my best memory of Fallout 3 and I would never trade it for anything in the world!

Happy 16 years to Fallout 3! What're some of your favorite Capital Wasteland memories?

Did You Know: Hermaeus Mora uses the steady supply of literature produced on mortal couplings for the structural support of his library?

Wandering Tamriel

I sometimes still get stunned by the beauty of this game

Vvardenfell, my beloved

I don't know why but the Alik'r desert looks so stunning to me. I've probably played so much Skyrim and got used to Mountains and snow that it looks almost alien to me.

I hope when TES:VI releases in twenty years we get to explore it too

As some may probably know, I love Bethesda's RPGs

I played more of them than any other games combined

I've played Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, New Vegas, Skyrim, Fallout 76, Elder Scrolls Online and Starfield

They aren't the best RPGs out there, I know that.

They aren't as good or deep like Baldurs Gate or Cyberpunk

But I always find my way back to Tamriel, the Wastelands or the Starfield because these games give me a feeling to actually be in these worlds, to see people live their lives and to just sit in an Inn and listen to the Bard

And these types of gameplay are what makes them so unique to me and they helped me to become the person I am today, the nerdy dude, with an Argonian Fursona, who bombards his friends with useless trivia and I'm thankful for that

The grammar probably sucks hard but I don't care <3

All Must Serve

The last night...

This was the last night Sharp and I shared, it was intense... It's not the first time we had done it but most of the time it was to simply relieve the stress before I left our home in Vvardenfell to fight in Cyrodiil.

If I had known that this was the last time we would see and embrace eachother... I wouldn't have left for Arrius Keep... But the threads of Fate work in their own way...

I hope that when I die, my body gets used for environmental storytelling

This simple quest was always one of my favourites, it's simple but also pretty cute and interesting.

Shortly after you can find Chal-Maht and Kud-Nakal in one of the lookouts, where they tell you that they will bond next season (I'd send a video of the dialogue but Tumblr got this weird 'one video per post' thing for some reason)

Terrorised or blessed?

The golden eye blesses with knowledge but for some knowledge will be madness

Drew this from a scene in a DnD Skyrim-based campaign I’m in, my character got terrorized by Hermaeus Mora. This took entirely too long 😭😭

There is one thing that bugged me in every Elder Scrolls game since good ol' Morrowind

Why do they hold two handed weapons like that? These things are heavy as hell and keeping it upright the whole time would kill your Arms and Back

It's really one of the weirdest decisions, that and getting rid of Spellcrafting
