Bottom line: We appreciate the input, but the idea of Dres councilors is not up for debate anymore. It's been decided and that's how we're going to go through with it. I'm sorry we couldn't convince y ...

I like the idea of corpse-dres: mummies of important ancestors kept in the council halls of each clan, called upon to act as councilors in matters of law/tradition, war and commerce.

I don't think, ...

The link doesn't work for me - it opens discord but doesn't connect me to any channel.

You are right, the Psijics are said to have had similar abilities:
Another aspect of this legend that scholars like myself find interesting is the mention of "the Calling." In this legend a ...

I just registered today, obviously my opinion is not worth too much, but I really felt the need to chime in here.

Something I have noticed when reading this thread is that it seems like some of thi ...

If it comes to voting, my vote is for either 2 or 3. No vampire council please.

Definitely seconded.

I'm not really a fan of the idea that house Dres as a whole are in a debt, either. The two ...

Good duscussion going, lots of good input. I think sasquatch raises some really good points, especially about detailing the more mundane aspects of Dres life.

And those two sketches you posted, sas ...

That looks very cool, but it's making me wonder about the idea of hexagonal cantons. It's a nice idea symbolically but, won't Dres settlements feel very repetitive if they are all forced to fit inside ...

I must say, I envision Dres radically differently from the directions currently being discussed.

When it comes to the arhcitecture, I imagine a more towering, menacing, otherwordly, spiky, insectoi ...

Reposting my short summary of my vision of house Dres and their lands from earlier topics, for easier overview:

My two cents on the Dres, also posted in the architecture thread:

-House Dres is b ...

My proposition suggested hinting at zero-summing. Not at someone actually attaining CHIM, which would indeed be taking proposterous liberties with the TES universe and its lore.

Still, the ultimate ...

Might I point out that 4-112 still does not use the latest approved interior?
I don't know whether this one was dropped or for some other reason.

Why? The Velothi people are stated in lore (apocryphaly, but by an original developer) to be one of the few groups that carry with them the methods of reaching the Tower. The only logical conclusion o ...

This is just an idea I've had for some time, I thought I'd throw it out here to see what people think of it:

The Indoril are supposed to be the house most dedicated to the teachings of the Dunmer T ...

Ambitious effort!
Here are some spontaneous counter-thoughs:
Change "Aldmeri explorers mapped the coasts of Vvardenfel" to "Aldmeri explorers mapped the coast of Morrowind".

O ...

In my opinion, this is one of those things that doesn't really need an explanation. As long as it doesn't make obvious un-sense, not everything needs to make perfect sense.

Explain everything down ...

I don't see much reason for a name change at all. I think the 'Old' lends a rather characterful air of venerability to Old Ebonheart.
The argument was made earlier that when New York was founded, Yor ...

The extensive litterature of TES strikes again! I hadn't read that one. While of absolutely cringeworthy quality, it is indeed a book from the game. However, what you point at as being misogynisti ...

This all seems like a very good idea and a much needed adjustment.

I'm travelling, currently, and don't really have the time to follow discussions here, but I actually have some alternative corkbul ...

For quick reference, the recipes that I consider more or less finished:
Scrib-Yearning-for-the-Moons

Cut a yearling stalk of marshmerrow, about two-and-a-half foot of height, and place a cut lengt ...

...there is no evidence of refrigeration in Morrowind, meaning that other methods of preservation would likely be needed. Different methods of fermentation and souring might be interesting to look int ...

I just remembered this thread and the four small texts I wrote on the subject.

How much more material would be needed for this to be compiled into an ingame book? I'd be willing to set about comple ...

Really nice piece of writing. The lesson learnt from this text reflects something well within the scope of Dunmer values, and the concise style in general is becoming.

However, I agree that this. ...

Oh, and this is the flyer:

I don't know if you are still proposing to use this flyer, but I reacted at this line.
Apart from it being a rather sexist line, I don't really recall anything in the ...

I really like this is general, and the waist-wrap in particular.
It feels properly alien, perhaps for the same reasons Ateiggaer disliked it for: it doesn't come from our own traditional concepts of ...

But really, I find the River Strider far less weird than the Silt Strider, and in most - if not all - cases where the former is used, it could be replaced with the latter.
Silt Striders are perfectl ...

Snip.

Really good post, Gnomey.

I think the project as a whole could benefit from having some of that stuff included in one of the general planning documents, as a reminder to writers, questers ...

This is a really good selection of well-executed, well-balanced and well-designed interiors that integrate really well with the style of the original game while still providing something new and inter ...

My spontaneous reaction to the original post ,the way I read it, is that I think you're consistently taking for granted that the PC:s involvement with a faction serves the foremost function of further ...

Lurking, waiting to see how and in which directions conceptualization goes, and what directions design/redesign will take.

I agree with Sasquatch. While the basics look nice, it needs to be simplified, which is often the hardest thing to do - and do right - in a creative process.

I would also make the flanking groups o ...

I stand with Worsas on this. What Theminimanx wrote about how quests in the original game are written is true, but I don't think this is a set-in-stone formula that needs to be followed. Of course, it ...

Spider from picture lools like spider from daggerfall to me

I don't think this justifies its inclusion in TR in any way. Daggerfall is a very different thing than TES3, as different from it as Obli ...

I'd vote against spiders, as well. Considering that rats and even normal skeletons were only added to the game in a later stage of development in order to provide the more close-minded crowd with some ...

I prefer this. However, it might be asked why the potion only works on the problem mushroom.

Because game mechanics, I guess. It'd be impractical to make it work on any mushroom. Just like in any q ...

Counter-suggestions on the 'Liquid inspiration'-quest:

A mid-ranking Legion officer/clergyman stationed in OE has been offered the hand of a well-to-do woman/man (whom he has never met in person) b ...

A suggestion for an alternative brains-instead-of-brawn solution for 'Suffocating spores' would be to use an (al)chemical agent to kill off the mushroom in question. This could involve talking to a lo ...

I would argue in favour of replacing all meats with the vanilla variants. Apart from the inconsistency, there is no evidence in TES3 that I can recall of anything that would provide such a grill-patte ...

Personally, I like
If we could pull these off, they'd be fantastic. Lots of character, I like the Metroid-vibe.

A little something for inspiration, although this is on a somewhat grander scale than what I'm after: [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/a/af/The_Palatine_Cross_Section_1.jpg ...
