Same, right alongside the Ancient Language from the Inheritance Cycle.

This sort of boggled me.
Why would a blind creature even notice if you are invisible?

Anyway. . .
Loving it. There is something really fun about beating down dragons with a warhammer.

Especially once Dragonrend is learned.

Yeah, they didn't really represent the Falmer's blindness very well.
How are their archers so damned accurate?

I would love a game that used a spell mechanic like that.

It's not that they can see, because they are blind. One of the loading screens specifically says that although they are blind they have increased other senses. So although they cannot see you they can probably hear you, smell you (humans do have bad body naturally especially some of those barbarian nords. In addition they may be able to feel as you walk. What I mean is that as you walk the ground can be felt as a vibration. I guess they use one or several of those to give the falmer "sight." So while in the fluff he can't see in game he can.

Good point. But still...don't you need EYES in order to hit with a bow? I would at least expect them to have poor aim.

To them it doesn't matter if you are invisible or not. Remember if you are blind, everyone is already invisible.

WOW. How big is blackreach?

Too big. Far, far too big.

Just played a bit on my new Argonian, Han-Za, so far not done alot. Iv chopped alot of wood for gold, cleared out Embershard mine and currently working my way up to Bleak Falls Barrow.

Still not decided what to do with the Empire Vs Stormcloaks, as well he hates the Empire but Ulfric is also racist so that could anger him aswell .

Onto another note, I found another glitch oddly enough. I managed to sell my equiped arrows, not that odd right?? Well when I went into Embershard mine I could still use my bow and arrow as if nothing had been sold. Easily fixed by obtaining some arrows and reequipt them.

I wonder when the first DLC will be released.

As an aside, I wonder when the construction kit will come out? That's when we'll REALLY see mods begin to flow...

Dunno if it'd sway your vote, but the Argonians have split from the Empire and actually have invaded and conquered part of Morrowind.

Jan IIRC.

I miss the Create Your Own Spell feature from Daggerfall (taht I think was also in both Morrowind and Oblivion to a lesser extent).

Has anybody found the ruins (I forget the name) it has a bunch of dark mages around the outside, and inside it has a ton of empty wine bottles laying around. Two people working the forge inside are having a conversation about what's "below" and how disgusting what goes on down there is. Anybody? I got freaked out and since I'm still only lvl 10 I lit out of there to come back later. So what's down there?

I've been there. It's called Movunskar or something to that name. You pass through it during the
.
I didn't notice anything much down there, except for annoying wizards.

Does anyone know when the Skyrim soundtrack ships?

I ordered it a while back, and it hasn't come.

I think someone put the landing strip lights out and the plane carrying your stuff crashed and is now being looted by some bandits.

God yes... I would so love it if they did a modest update to daggerfall and re released it. Nothing like levitating over a sea of guards and raining down lightning like a wrathful god.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Solitude Lighthouse quest, but Die Hard works too

Empire help the damn pixies.
There you have your answer; join the Stormcloak rebellion

Had to pay a fine for hitting a cow with a stray shot while saving a village from a dragon attack. Ungrateful villagers!

absolutely hate the tree/bug creature thingies near that town at bottom of the map, they piss me off so much.

Arena & Daggerfall are both available for free on the Elder Scrolls site in the downloads section. =P

Im level 60 and i can't buy the house in windhelm thanks to missing blood on the ice earlier.. Im a completist so Im super pissed about it. :(

I play Daggerfall regularly. It is still awesome, and hard enough to kcik your ass

Never been able to get the Daggerfall download, for whatever reason. Got Arena, but other than the basic fluff, it's not really an 'Elder Scrolls' game, not as I see them, anyways.
