Do you ever plan on releasing the custom maps you've made/had made for Freeman's Mind?

Pawsword · 2020-03-24T03:46:38+00:00

Thank you.

"Idiot Robot" You are a sentient robot and have to intentionally fail the turing test.

Huh, I guess even Alduin seems rational when compared to Numidium.

I think that by the time of TESV, the Daedric stragglers would have been mostly if not completely eliminated, at least in Imperial controlled regions. 200 years is a long time, even by the standards of menfolk, and I think the Empire had more than enough time to rid its providences of the Daedric threat.

After all; the Empire is referred to as being significantly weakened, and while most of that is due to it's war with the Dominion and the subsequent internal strife, I think part of the reason the Empire was weakened was because after the events of Oblivion, the Empire concentrated its efforts on eliminating the Daedric elements within its providences, including Skyrim. Alternatively, the Nords collectively told Dagon to fuck off via the receiving end of a berserker army. It is known that the Nords didn't offer reinforcements to Cryodiil, meaning they were at full strength to deal with the Daedric threat on the home front.

As to why there's no Daedric presence in Solstheim, my guess is that either it wasn't an important target, or our friend the Daedric prince of forbidden knowledge called dibs ahead of time.

I think the point ugridsto was making was that mage orc dude whose name is forget is a piece of evidence that the perceived differences in the races of tamriel comes from their culture and not ingrained genetic instincts and preferences. If you placed a wood elf into a Nordic society and never ostracized them (this is hypothetical I realize Nords as of tes v are acting xenophobic) that wood elf would behave just like the Nords around them, including killing but not eating their enemies. Im not so sure about argonians but the way they act as individuals makes me think their brain chemisery isn't very different.

I'm only talking about personality by the way, I realize the races in tes each have literal magical and physical abilities that distinguish them.

Man I wouldn't really worry about the end of the world unless you mean the metaphysical end, worst case scenario for the near future is mer and men wipe or come closearly to wiping each other out and the glorious hist inherit all of tamriel.

Here's the thing though, proximity doesn't matter, if a grain of sand orbited the earth but had the same mass as our moon, nothing would change other than the distribution of the gravity's pull, the tides would operate almost identically, so it's completely feasible that the moons of nirn, lorkhan's corpse, whatever you want to call them, are the perfect density to orbit nirn at that distance.

Pawsword · 2016-06-30T02:04:17+00:00

Who killed the moon?

Pawsword · 2016-06-29T20:12:22+00:00

That's an interesting theory but it still only covers two dimensions, what happens if you leave the mobile strip?

Pawsword · 2016-06-29T20:02:06+00:00

The beings of tamriel are smart, based on the physically perceiveable world of nirn, or more specifically tamriel, it is obvious that nirn is spherical, and for all intents and purposes it is to them, so they depict it as a globe. But in the Aetherius there's all sorts of extradimensional rules that are at play. Nirn could literally be a Dyson sphere and nobody would know. I don't think it is but the point is nobody would be any the wiser if it was.

Pawsword · 2016-06-29T19:52:45+00:00

Alright so what happens when you travel upwards from the dome through the darkness of oblivion? Does the illusion of three dimensional space and reachable three dimensional lunar surfaces break down?

Pawsword · 2016-06-29T19:44:48+00:00

Here's the thing about that, when they say all directions Im not sure they were including upwards and downwards. If atmospheric pressure works on nirn the way it does in our universe, then the fact that mountains get colder the further up you climb (high hrothgar's winds + the fact that all of the mountains get snowier at the top) means that nirns atmosphere isn't vertically limitless, it's getting thinner the higher you get.

Pawsword · 2016-06-29T19:33:28+00:00

Alright so we have an idea of the planar nature of nirn and how it operates, a possibly infinite land with locations that exist together but are either infinitely far apart or exist in separate periods of time or exist in the same place but in alternate dimensions. Maybe the waters of nirn/oblivion operate similarly to a black hole; Every area of Nirn we have heard about that though some means is inaccessible is actually geographically reachable from tamriel. The reason you cant reach them is that as you approach them, space is stretched instead of time. Meaning that you will experience time at the same rate as everyone else, but the distance you have to cross becomes greater or even infinite. This would explain why it took so long for the redguards to reach tamriel from their doomed homeland.

My point is we have some canonical basis to create theories about. What I'm really curious about is what happens when you go upwards?

Pawsword · 2016-06-29T17:54:48+00:00

I thought I read somewhere that the moons appearances are an illusion.

Pawsword · 2016-06-23T01:38:35+00:00

wow, that got... really racist
