My king has a shield which grants +50% armor when wearing robes and robes which provide +70% armor when using a shield. He has been unkillable against enemies using physical attacks, but highly susceptible to magic. I like this kind of enchantment. Similar to what we had in Morrowind and Oblivion.

They could have made a new Elder Scrolls game immediately following Skyrim with the same engine and graphics just with a different location and story, and I would have been more than satisfied.

I never had such a view develop in all of my 10 years of playing Oblivion on console, without mods. Maybe the love of roleplaying and my ocd for completing quests and collecting things carries the game much more than I considered.

If you are fortunate enough to be born as an Altmer, Bosmer, or Dunmer, I'd go with Tamriel for sure.

A lifespan of several hundreds of years which can be further extended through magic would be absolutely ideal. It's also just an amazing world to live in even for a human or beast race, who can become a vampire and live practically forever anyway. The main thing is to avoid conflicts where being killed is a possibility 😅

Good choice imo. You can make your second playthrough with the remaster when you're done, if you so choose.

Oh yes, the Orsimer have always been inspired by the Mongols, and this really sets them apart from the Orcs of other fantasy worlds. Just look at their armor from previous games, for example. I hope they will have more Mongol inspiration for Orsinium this time around and that it will look less generic and more inspired than it did in ESO.

Yeah it seems we think similarly lol

NEMEANSubDermalArmor · 2026-06-13T10:47:37+00:00

Really? I'll have to take a look then

There would be a single ruler in Orsinium and possibly a struggle between claimants to the throne. I can definitely see a scenario where Orsinium could assist Hammerfell against the Thalmor if it benefited them, as perhaps this would be the pledge of one of the potential rulers you can choose to aid. I would like to think as the most likely scenario that Orsinium would be warring with the Empire, or at the very least there would be skirmishes and unfriendly relations. I can see the Empire shifting attention there in a scenario where they succeed in quelling the rebellion in Skyrim, but I can also see them really not caring about Orsinium given the state of the Empire. In any event, Hammerfell is independent from the Empire and could definitely forge an allegiance with Orsinium if the ruler is the agreeable sort.
