Actually, the most surprising option would be elf.


But why not. If the Dunmer messiah can be an Argonian or an Orc, why can't the Emperor of Tamriel be an Argonian or an Orc?

Orsinium shall rise again!

Simple..

Nord, heavy armor, dual axes!

Im stuck. I LOVE sneaky killy types in RPGs.....but Ive always been a fan of Orcs...choppy SMASHY Orcs..... my fav in Morrowind, I abused the Corprus desease and had a str on something like 300-400 He would break weapons in only a few hits, totally unplayable after that but damn it was great

If he broke weapons so easily, just have him punch people!


And you could always play a Kommando Ork... Sneaky, smashy choppy killy!

Like the Orc in the Assassin's guild in Oblivion, oh Oblivion, that's the only game I know where ADD can lead to vampirism.

Corprus is from Morrowind......where punching people was a terrible idea and took forever. I tried that with super Orc.....it still took just as long to punch someone to death. God that hand to hand was terrible.

But it leveled up soooo quickly! And it was kind of useful to have a way to make them less able to hit, or run, or just knock them down so you could skedadle, if they were angry at you and you didn't want to kill them. (What? I played good characters!)


That's something I rather miss from Morrowind, and that I don't think they'll be bringing back, was the complexity of Fatigue, how it affected every single thing you did, and you had to manage it. Fatigue potions in Oblivion were pretty much useless. Fatigue potions in Morrowind were God's Breath when you were in a protracted combat, or fighting a puncher, or needed to run away from a Cliff Racer swarm, or were out for a jog but really really wanted that Kwama Forager's soul, and only had enough Magicka left for one Soul Trap spell.

Lol. I had a weapon that makes your enemies soul traped automatic as long as it had charge....

Still waiting for 11-11-11

I had spells to do that; Soul Trap 2 seconds, X damage 1 second.

Paralyze for 20 seconds, soul trap for 20, and 10 points of fire damage for 15.

Yep, but I had damage health instead of fire. Damage health was my fav spell. Id have paralyze 15secs damage health 25pts for 4 secs. Just hilarious hearing that werwerwer sound and them slowing dying

Umbra IIRC

Or one you could make yourself. Honestly, despite never really getting anyone that high in Enchant, every one of my characters always ended up with dozens of different armour loadouts with special effects. My primary character had at least three pairs of Enchanted Pants with different, useful effects, plus enough Ring-based damage enchantments to kill off most of Vivec.

I miss having clothes under your armor, and separate gloves and pauldrons being their own things.
I love Morrowind so much

+100 Tha was one of the biggest drawbacks in Oblivion. When I realized I couldnt do that anymore, I was so bummed

One thing that irks me is that chain mail and scale armour are considered light armour when it isn't, cloth, leather and hide are.

Agreed, I get it, chain isnt as heavy as full plate but uh.......its still iron/steel made

I think that came about from the removal of Medium Armour. Scale and Chain would have meshed into that slot beautifully.

Also, there were just so many fewer variations on things! There was Fur, Leather, Chain, Mithril, Elven and Glass for light armour, and Iron, Steel, Orkish, Ebony, Dwarven and Daedric for Heavy armour.

No Netch leather, boiled netch leather, Ordinator, cloth, bracers vs. gauntlets, silver, Duke's Guard silver, Bonemold! dreaugh, Troll Bone, Bear and Wolf furs, Adamantine, or any of that extra, fancy armour that you'd wear just because it looked cool, even if you had better stuff!

I just want:

Light Armour = Cloth, leather, hide

Heavy Armour = Chain, scale, plate

And variations of those basics (like steel plate, Nordic hide, etc). Also I want to see Dwarves.

You mean Dwemer, right? Though I had a thought on that. What if the Dwemer, instead of all being, you know, dead, had instead been transported into the vastnecess of Oblivion/the non-Cyrodill mortal plane-realm thing. While there, they were affected by the common perception of them, and so became shorter. They had to survive terrible harshnesses, and so became tougher. They had to make-do with what they had, and so became better craftspeople.

When once again they emerged from the Lands-Beyond-Thought-and-Time, they emerged as Dwarves, mere shadows of the proud Mer that they once were...

Cheesecat wrote: Also I want to see Dwarves.

All the dwarves are meant to have died long before the date of Oblivion/Skyrim events take place, leaving behind their legacy of forts/weapons/relics. I always found it amusing how you find tonnes of Dwarven goodies in Oblivion, but never any evidence of where it all was forged.

Immersion fail much?

It's the illegal Dwemer Artifact trade. Where do you think the shopkeepers sold all those Dwemer goodies you looted in Morrowind?

Wasnt there one last Dwemer in Morrowind?

Although i think he was beyond his original form

From what I can tell, the Dwemer were removed from existence. Yugo or whatever was on a different plane, so he wasn't there when it happened. I'm guessing the Dwemer ghosts were particularly strong willed Dwemer. At least the one in tribunal was...

I miss the full towns where nothing but guards would respawn. I also miss the great hidden stuff in the water there was so much in morrowind but next to non in oblivion.

Corprus....its a real bitch

That and metal Spider legs. Though those were just Bitchin'.

I can't wait for this, I loved what they did with dragons. Instead of having it be scripted encounters they have it so its completely random (Think of its in terms of replayability!) Not to mention they have some good mods from oblivion that they took ideas from.

On a side note, they better include mod support for this or I'll be a little heartbroken.

NOT CONFIRMED!

But I think I read/heard somewhere that they are planning on including Mod tools with the Consoles or some such. I doubt that, though.
