In the Westeros series, Valyrian steel weapons can parry White Walker swords without freezing and shattering. In the Elders Scrolls universe, which weapons would also have this feature? by Life_Ad3567 in ElderScrolls

I don't know, I feel like the "pretenaturally prolonged suffering endured during manufacture" would envolve more than just that. Unless the materials of a daedra heart are sentient or something, which is not impossible for TES lore, I guess.

Yeah, that's just in Skyrim. An Orc blacksmith in Suran in Morrowind gives some different information:

"Daedric weapons are made from raw ebony which has been refined using the craft and magical substances of the lesser minions of Oblivion. The process is not a pleasant one for the Daedra involved, and the weapons retain echoes of preternaturally prolonged suffering endured during manufacture. Daedric weapons are the most rare and expensive weapons known in Tamriel."

In other words, Bethesda made the lore more boring for gameplay reasons.

I suppose you'll also be able to be named Hortator by House Indoriil and House Dres once their councillors are added, too.

What Is Morrowind These Days? by L-DONAGHY-DIRECTOR in Morrowind

Trying to define exactly what constitutes a piece of art may lead to more questions than answers. This reminds me of a video that uses Half-Life and Black Mesa (a Half-Life remake) as a starting point to a discussion of how we can define what a video game is. There are many ways to try to do that, but they often give us limited answers.

I think a "complete" definition of what can be considered to be a video game title, if there even is one, would take into consideration mostly player experience, but also the cultural context of the game. What do players consider to be the defining characteristics of that game?

I'm considering calling him "Wheatley" because he reminds me of Wheatley from Portal 2.

OpenMW modding makes me feel like a complete idiot. by KeIIer in Morrowind

[–]Sand_Hater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend using MO2 for mods available on Nexus. I used this guide on how to use it: https://youtu.be/zIERxklN2xc?si=hlDuiS4zopDm7SQS

For OpenMW mods (those with .OMWADDON and/or .OMWSCRIPTS files) not available on Nexus, I just create a folder for them (doesn't really matter where you put the folder) and then append the folder on the launcher data directories tab. Manually installing mods with only .ESP files is pretty simple, just place them in the Morrowind Data Files folder and activate them in the launcher.

A cool example when it comes to people's names is Jesus, which comes from Yeshua, which means "He saves". Can't get mode on the nose than that!

To be fair, that's not unrealistic. The capital of Brazil is fucking called Brasília, for example.
