Skyrim IV: Oblivion

[pffh]

I would TOTALLY get an Expanded Lunar Forge mod. Is it possible to put additions to the worldspace like you can to houses?

You should be able to. Well at least you were able to in morrowinds editor and this one is pretty much identical (with a few new bells and whistles) so it should be quite easy.

Mmm, I meant like, the upgrade system? I hope so.

Thanks to Smithing skill, ever reward you gain will be useless (except daedric artifact and enchantments that you need).

[Triaxx]

Shouldn't be a problem, except for having to learn Papyrus. World spaces are just cells, albeit larger than average interiors.

Jaysus swords has some truly amaznig models, if you can't get permission to use them, then they'd definitely give you some good ideas. Plus it's an awesome mod.

I was thinking I might ask the maker of the Witchplate armor and make that the Lunar Forge's unique heavy set.

So is there any way to get the result of a magic effect on your character out of your view (or lessen it) in 1st person? Keep running into the situation where I get a fire spell cast on me (or something similar) and the flames from being on fire and the flames they're throwing at me make it so I can't see at all.

Yeah This is one of the downsides of using the midis magic mod. All the higher level spells have crazy visual effects, making them impossible to aim at anything closer then 30 feet.

[Flickerdart]

The obvious solution is to shoot your own fire spells at them, so that there's even more fire.

Spoken like a true destruction mage: "When in doubt, use fire. If that doesn't work, use more fire."

If that STILL doesn't work then you should probably run away because it is an elder god and thus amused at your pathetic attempts to stop the end of the world.

Fire is like violence and explosives. If it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough.

What are the D&D Alignment for Skyrim characters?
Alduin- Chaotic Evil
Sheogorath- Chaotic Neutral

[Triaxx]

Sadly, I mostly end up using the Beam spells. I mean, compare Heat Beam to Flames and Heat Beam is far better at most of the applications. I use it to shoot down Hawks in Solitude. Frost beam is fun too.

I really like Entangle though. Watching a Draugr go flying because it staggered in the middle of the path of a battering ram, or spiked wall. Plus it makes keeping away from melee guys easier.

And it means you can block narrow passages to get away.

Meridia = Lawful neutral, She doesn't care how you do it, just kill those damn undeads!!!

Ulfric = True neutral? Debatable.
He usually only cares about his throne, but he does try to be a good person, to the nords at least, but is not above assassination.

Alduin is much closer to Lawful Neutral. He's doing what he must do (eat the world) because that is why he exists and without him doing his duty (eating the world) the new world can not be born.

At least lawful evil, because before he had to eat the world he ruled over it as the dragon overlord.

Balgruuf the Greater- Lawful Good
Tulius (Roman Saul Tigh)- Lawful Neutral
Thieves- Chaotic Neutral

to Chaotic Good when you are the guild master. I hope you made Viking Haley.

P.S- How many of you have nicknamed Ulfric as "Viking Kubota with Fighter Class".

I don't think any of us did that. You've brought this up several times now, but I just don't see it. Kubota was a coward who hid behind his subordinates. Ulfric is a military leader who can back up his claims with actual strength.

He didn't assassinate the High King. Ulfric challenged him to single combat in the traditional Nord way. Torrig fought even though he didn't stand a chance, and he lost. That was the whole point. Skyrim used to have warrior-kings, now they have spineless milk-drinkers who grow fat on Imperial gold.

You could argue that Ulfric is Lawful Good. He believes in helping his people, first and foremost.

Does anyone else remember that little speech he gives when you first enter the Palace of Kings? Ulfric was talking to his second-in-command, the hall was empty (expect for you, and he hadn't even noticed you yet). He spoke about fighting for the Nords who died in the Great War, for their families, for Skyrim. He wasn't doing this to impress anyone. He was explaining his reasons for fighting to his friend. Then he concludes by saying that he'd be happy to see a day when men like him aren't needed.

Except that Ulfric just walted into Solitude, challenged the kid, shouted him half to death and then slew him. If what he did was so honorable, they why did he flee for his life afterwards?

Because the true ruler of Solitude (i.e. Tullius and by extension the Emperor) didn't like the fact that Ulfric broke their puppet, and would have executed him

You pass the test on whether you are stormcloaks or Legate Rikke (have some sympathy for rebels that you are supposed to fight against them).

Even though Thalmor used his rebellion, he might outsmarted them if you win the civil war. He give credit to his men and never took the title of high king until the moot say so.

Edit: I thought he was like Kubota until he request me to kill him! I did it to him and was an honorable warrior. Unlike Kubota, he wouldn't use charmed monsters to slaughter his own citizens for power

Yeah, that speech was good but if you talk to one of the older war hero nords (I forget his name) he gives you a radiant quest to go kill some bandits that have been attacking dark elf caravans. After the quest this guy talks about how Ulfric says a good game, but in practice unless it involves nords nothing is done.

So Ulfric is obviously at least a tiny bit racist in practice.

EDIT: This made me laugh way too hard

He's Brunwulf Freewinter and he's probably lawful good or Neutral good since he is the lone nord who cares about Greyskins and scalebacks.

I disagree. Ulfric believes in gaining personal power, first and foremost...and, as already mentioned, if his challenge to Torig had been in any way legitimate, he would have stayed in Solitude and become High King of Skyrim. The argument that the Empire wouldn't let him doesn't wash--it's made pretty clear that they allow the local Jarls to rule as they wish.

Oh, and in case you weren't aware:

Ulfric was also a spy for the Thalmor during the war between them and the Empire--documents you find in the Thalmor Embassy confirm this.

[Avilan the Grey]

He is WAY too Racist to be Lawful Good. At best he would be lawful Neutral. He SEES himself as a good person, but that is a different matter.

Also, assigning D&D alignments to non D&D characters are more or less pointless anyway.

[Coidzor]

He's Brunwulf Freewinter and he's probably lawful good or Neutral good since he is the lone nord who cares about Greyskins and scalebacks.

Considering scalebacks wanting to come to Skyrim, especially the wintery parts, breaks a fair number of people's brains, I can't really say I blame the Nords for not really wanting to think about it.

[Triaxx]

I'd actually stick Ulfric at a solid Chaotic Good. He's trying really hard to be a good person, but it's not working quite as well as he hopes, and he seems to jump from one plan to another.

As for being a Thalmor toady, you might also interpret that as being already anti-empire, and beileving at the time that the Thalmor had the best chance of crushing the empire. When that didn't work, he broke with them and tried to break Skyrim free himself.

Alternately, if his Talos worship is really honest, either he had a crisis of Faith, and changed, or he was working as a Double Agent under the Thalmor, since he's not a blade and might be able to do things the normal blades couldn't since they'd be recognized by the Elfen SS.

[factotum]

I don't think it is...it's just an issue that he could use to inflame the local population. I doubt he cares about Talos personally.
