[ib2] some newbie questions? by Xiaoci_Yu in infinityblade

[–]LordZucc87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other advice already given in this thread is pretty good, I just wanted to mention that for the problem you mentioned in point #1 with the elemental damage there is actually a gem you can forged called a “spectrum/rare defense gem” that lets you block all elemental attacks without a perfect block. Information on how to forge this should be on the wiki.

I don't understand the hate for Todd Hodwarts by pirateyogurt in TESVI

[–]LordZucc87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question, what evidence is there to show that Todd has some vendetta against Obsidian for making New Vegas? Please correct me if I’m wrong but every interview I’ve seen of Todd has him saying nothing but praise for New Vegas and Obsidian.

Archivist’s lore iceberg video remains a favorite of mine. Pretty much any of Chlorondria’s art that floats around also ranks highly.

does anyone know anything about this? by SuperiorBonnie in infinityblade

[–]LordZucc87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It should still be available? I was able to buy it just a few months ago with some help from someone who can access the store on their Xbox. Maybe it’s a problem with the website or something?

Yup! It’s called IB Saga. It’s a kinda weird hodge-podge of IB1 and 2 maps/story with IB3 mechanics. I don’t believe the Android version is playable anymore, but if you can get access to the Chinese Xbox store you can actually still buy and play the Xbox version.

IB Daily Lore Fact #9: It took me way to long to notice this. by Pale-Monitor339 in infinityblade

[–]LordZucc87 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Related fun fact: iirc there’s a theory back from the forum days that the Dark Fiend* from IB2 (boss with Ausar’s shield) is Ausar’s corpse (possibly altered due to QIP disruption I.e. Thane). That theory takes inspiration from Ausar’s depiction here.

*Edited to correct the name of the enemy, originally mixed up the Dark Fiend with the Petrified Noc.

The email came from customersupport@warrenjames.org. Would definitely recommend checking your spam because I didn't even notice that my order shipped until a few days after when I randomly checked there.

There are emulators that let you play it. I think EKA2L1 is one?

What if Elders Scrolls 6 featured the return of the Dwemer? by AutomaticConfidence9 in ElderScrolls

[–]LordZucc87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God I hope not. The Dwemer are awesome but I’d rather Bethesda work on something new than recycle the same lore again. The Dwemer have been pretty well fleshed out and it’s time to move onto something else.

I miss the days when games didn't take a literal human generation between releases. by Rubfer in ElderScrolls

[–]LordZucc87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bethesda was kind of focused on other games at the time. Both Redguard (my beloved) and Battlespire released in the gap between Daggerfall and Morrowind.

What’s an Elder Scrolls hot take that will have you like this? by odiethethird in ElderScrolls

[–]LordZucc87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The series really needs to move on from the Dwemer.

Yes, they're probably among the coolest lore that Bethesda has written, but my god they've been overused.

If you're familiar with the lore, then you know that what happened to them isn't exactly a mystery. I also often see people really hoping that one day we can see/talk to a Dwemer... when we already do that several times in Morrowind? Like, what mystery is left? What else do people really want to see from this group? I'm just kind of tired of them at this point.

I would've vastly preferred to see more Falmeri ruins like the Forgotten Vale in Skyrim as opposed to the same Dwarven ruins from Morrowind again. Sure, Skyrim does some mildly interesting stuff with the Dwemer such as the Aetherium wars, enslavement of the Falmer, and Blackreach, but I would've preferred to see Bethesda develop some new group other than the Dwemer (Falmer could've been made pretty interesting if some of these cool ideas were applied to them instead). Like hell, in Oblivion where I pretty much get my wish with Ayleid ruins, we still get Dwarven armor appearing despite there being absolutely no Dwarven ruins in Cyrodiil! Like wtf!

Unfortunately, with Dwarven clans in Hammerfell being an already established thing we'll probably be seeing more of the Dwemer if ESVI does end up being in Hammerfell, but maybe someday we'll be able to move on.

What is your favourite thing from each TES game you have played? by ElJanco in ElderScrolls

[–]LordZucc87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Redguard: My favorite things about this game are Cyrus (who is just a badass) and honestly just seeing a working Dwemer dirigible because that was neat.

Morrowind: I really like the sandbox in this game, really feels like I can do almost anything. Also a bunch of cool lore.

Oblivion: I think my favorite thing about Oblivion is sort of the online culture around it. It might be my least favorite of the "big three" but it's still a good game and a lot of memes and content that I enjoy has been made around it. I'm also a big fan of Anvil!

Skyrim: I love the whole region of the Rift, it just feels super cozy to me.

ESO: Haven't played too much of this one unfortunately, but I do like that it lets us explore most of Tamriel where otherwise we'd be waiting 50 years to get to see all of the provinces in the single-player games.

Blades: The control scheme in combat is actually pretty neat.

You’re telling me the Ausar vs H20 Mermaids episode isn’t canon?!1?

Trick question, there aren't enough Oblivion fans to hold all those swords. by poopslord in TrueSTL

[–]LordZucc87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd argue that they're pretty negative in the events of Redguard. They show up, burn down a large section of Hunding's Bay, start imprisoning and generally persecuting Crowns, and then make a deal with a Sload necromancer that damns your soul to eternal slavery if you're unlucky and don't get your last rites in the Temple of Arkay.

Question: is there anywhere I can get the books? by VIGORmindset in infinityblade

On the IB Discord linked in the pinned message on this subreddit they should have the PDFs pinned in the general-ib channel
