meridia is homophobic. clavicus puts rainbow flags on his shrines during pride month and takes them down immediately after. sanguine is basically the patron god of being gay - this is known to the wise. now controversial take but i think azura would deadname you. she does this regularly to the nerevarine. malacath loves all his children, but especially the bears. hircine heard the word "bear" and they're a little confused but they've got the spirit. if you make a post about cannibalism as a metaphor for intimacy that is a prayer to namira. nocturnal. mephala... not actually homophobic but would out you just to mess with you. we are not discussing molag bal today. boethia is a genderfluid icon. peryite doesnt know what gay means but if you're spreading diseases its all good. sheogorath still considers gay people his children from when homosexuality was considered a mental illness. he's also happily married to haskill. i wanna say jyggalag is homophobic in contrast but hes actually very pro-homo. he wants everything to be homogeneous. mehrunes dagon... on the one hand he nearly destroyed the empire (based). on the other he tortured all those people. mildly problematic but he did make all those demons shirtless so

yeah thats all the princes right - oh wait fuck. ithelia is a terf.

edit: i literally had a list open on uesp when i was making this how did i miss TWO. this series has too many fucking daedra. anyway. remember that post about the extremely large drive filled with gay porn reviews on a charity shop computer? hermaeus mora has that now. originally i confused vaermina with namira (my bad, please no nightmares) but lets just say. she's a friend of nocturnal.

Anon asked if I could make this poll, so here we go! Very good poll, Anon, I'm glad to post it!

I recommend looking up what each game was about (or would have been about) before voting!

I mostly kept to what Anon wanted as the options, but I added the last two myself (with anon's permission) because it felt fitting considering the other games listed

For those who don't know, Eye of Argonia and Paradise Sugar were the canceled sequels to Redguard. They would have had Cyrus go on quests in Black Marsh and Elsweyr, respectively.

When/if i get a good graphics card and can use emulators on my pc i'd like to fucking... Make a good playthrough of Isles of Wakfu, maybe? And upload some missing soundtracks perhaps.

1. The game's rom is so hard to find and impossible to buy now. I genuinely fear it might become lost media someday.

2. The playthroughs are all either low quality or unfinished

3. At least some soundtracks (menu theme, maybe more) aren't on any ost releases i could find

But sadly i have a graphics card from 2008 which tries to kill itself whenever i test xbox emulation. And also i have adhd and uni so I would probably just abandon this project. Pain.

(i know im like, the crepin-jurgen guy of the fandom, but yk! I care about media preservation, and this franchise in general.)

Daedric is one of the more dangerous languages to speak

It's not dangerous in the same sense as Dovahzul were you can kill a man by screaming at him in the dragon tongue

No Daedric is much more dangerous in the sense of its corrupting

When Daedric is spoken it can cause physical damage and exhaustion to those who hear it and those who speak it it can also corrupt the mind of those who hear or speak it a once noble and pure paladin who seemed incorruptible could become a wicked and cruel warlord if they hear or speak Daedric

Daedric can also affect the surrounding area if it is spoken it can cause plants and animals around to die and cause the sky to go dark with storm clouds

Those that are more strong willed can resist the corrupting nature of the Daedric language but it can still cause them physical harm and exhaustion

Those that have already been corrupted by Daedra aren't affected by the harmful effects of the Daedric language due to the fact they have already been corrupted by Daedra this includes Daedra worshippers, vampires, werewolves, and those who are sick due to Peryite

Races like Dunmer, orcs and Khajiits are also immune to the effects of the Daedric language due to their connections with The Tribunal and The House of Troubles for Dunmer, Azura for Khajiit and Malacath for orcs

This is inspired by Black Speech from LOTR

It is 11/11, a day every TES fan will always be able to remember. Today marks the twelfth anniversary of the initial release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and the nineteenth anniversary of the initial release of The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey.

Alecto the Ninth Prediction

My entire prediction for the ending of Alecto the Ninth is that shit goes down. Dominucus goes explodus. And, sitting there in the wreckage(or probably floating there on a rock or something. Maybe sitting on a nearby planet?) is either Jod or Garrow, in the latter case with the living head of Ianthe(voiced by Yuri Lowenthal) by her side. In the case of Jod being P-1, the head is replaced by G1deon(voiced by Yaoi Lowenthal). Either way, we've got Kratos, we've got Mimir, and the book ends with Mimir saying "You must construct additional houses". Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Now for my TES talk because it is in fact Worldwide Shadowkey(and also Skyrim) day.

Unfortunately that poll of "Your Most Hated TES Game" has got me thinking again about my level of disgust across the series and tbh i kinda need to update that so I guess I'll use this to organize my thoughts lmao

For the record, though, I haven't played EVERY TES game out there and those I did weren't finished half the time

Anyways let's get into it

Arena-Actually, lemme separate them into categories cause can you REALLY compare them all equally given how different they are

The Eldest of Scrolls

Arena: Probably the only one of the old-school games I actually finished. Big ol dungeon crawler. Magic goes boom. Hard to really "hate" the game cause I don't feel too strongly about it which is funny cause it's technically the first TES game I played (I waited a month for Oblivion to arrive in the mail)

Daggerfall: Never finished it. As I understand, though, it's Arena but More. I think this is one I'd have stronger feelings about had i actually stuck to playing it till the end

Battlespire: Arena but More but Without the Extra Roleplay. Probably more polarizing but again, barely got an hour or so in lol

Dawnstar/Shadowkey/Stormhold: Never played, but want to (especially Shadowkey) I hear they're all full of jank tho so who knows if i'd enjoy it

The Modern Scrolls

Redguard: Never played.

Morrowind: Played a full game and got through half of another, but given how hogwild I go with the modern TES games it doesn't feel like it's enough to deserve that "Worlds Biggest Hater" energy from me. I do think the "combat sucks" thing is overblown, though. Not saying it's perfect but maybe y'all are too used to the actionized games and/or using the wrong weapon for your skillset. Do not like how easy it is to get lost cause if you don't have Mark/Recall or an Intervention spell you can't just jump to a familiar location.

Oblivion: In short, it's the first TES game I truly played. So I love it for that but also hate it for its shitass levelling and whitewashing of lore/the Empire in more ways than one. I love it more now because of how streamlined Skyrim is. I hate it more now cause it was definitely a low point for Bethesda's worldbuilding. LOVE the CC and I remember spending over an hour creating my first character then immediately rerolling cause oops I overdid it. It's my problematic fave

Skyrim: Love the OCs and the adventures I made for it. Hate the fandom it grew. Love the art direction in comparison to Oblivion. Hate the "gritty" filter put over it. Hate its shitass writing and quests. Love the addition of skill trees but hate their implementation. Absolutely LOATHE the downgrade to magic (idc if it's "story integration" it still sucks) Heavily dislike how little choice you get at CC as far as your skills go. 50/50 on the cosmetic side of CC cause on one hand you can't go ham on face creation but on the other you can change things like weight and nose/eye types but on the other other hand weight is just muscle mass unless you're using the fem body where it's SLIGHTLY thicker

Spinoff Scrolls 2: Finger on the Monkey's Paw Curls

Elder Scrolls Online: This one's...complicated just by virtue of being an MMO that's STILL updating. When I first played it, it was a breath of fresh air over the previous entries not just cause of different gameplay but because having multiple characters was an actual tangible thing in-game. I'm an OC whore okay. The story of the base game felt a LOT tighter, too, given it was actually linear. 'Course, the writing always felt really good or really bad and rarely was it in-between. Either way I got very, VERY invested in it in a way I knew I would never be able to experience again and I will never forget that. The CC is Phenomenal and easily the best one in any TES game so far. (Boob and ass slider? FOR MEN TOO???)

Lore also was hit or miss, with me being VERY appreciative of them touching things that Bethesda never bothered with if it wasn't for killing (i.e. types of food, clothing, toys, etc) but also while the lore team did consult with Bethesda there were and still are some glaring oversights that feel like they shouldn't have happened (especially earlier in the game's life) Given there's still some hiccups I'm guessing the Bethesda team doesn't actually consider it very important (makes sense, the main games also bend lore for the sake of gameplay/Todd's whims A LOT, just look at Oblivion lmao) I also love love love that they touch on the weirder topics, even if sometimes it's done in a way that feels too...on the nose? idk how to explain it

Recent ESO, though? Writing got more and more bland, with some standout sidequests. Lore still hit or miss so that's whatever. I stopped caring for the gameplay after...Orsinium?...when I gave up on relearning how to play with the regular changes to combat. Gave up trying to fit my OCs stories into the new content too, even with new characters (helps that they're not as developed lol) Still play out of habit but I defo think it fell off and this recent change to the yearly content doesn't seem to be helping but then I haven't touched new content since High Isle lmao

Legends: Seemed interesting but never played it much lmao, lore/story seems to follow ESO's example of being hit or miss from what I saw

Blades: It was okay I guess. Another game I developed a habit for then promptly dropped after I finished building and upgrading my town. It's a mobile game so idk what I expected, annoying ads begging for money abounded. I did all of it without paying a single cent on my Switch and it was a slog but I did it. Pretty meh about it tbh

Castles: Looks cute. Never played it and probably never will.
