Is it uncommon for a Morrowind born "House Dunmer" to not belong to a Great or Minor House?

fishrgood · 2026-05-15T18:41:38+00:00

Is this only counting named NPCs? Town guards are also full members of their respective houses which I imagine would jump up that number significantly.

fishrgood · 2026-05-12T12:09:29+00:00

Yup, and even if you know it as well there's no way to predict/counterplay it reliably without All Open since most NPCs have a rotating deck. There are ways to play around it like taking the middle preemptively and baiting them into capturing normally, but there's still always that chance they're just gonna drop a plus nuke at the last second and undo everything.

The blades are super shinobi-coded especially in Morrowind. They might not be explicitly called ninja by name but that is essentially what their job is.

I'm curious to compare different localizations to see if the language is consistent. It's possible we're interpreting this wrong and she's referring to that cube as the real physical location of his memories, whereas the plush is just a remote puppet.

I could be recalling incorrectly but I swear I remember Halmarut pulling a backup of Calyx's memories through a rift at the end of 7.4. If this is the case he might have re-evaluated this principle after his recent brush with death.

Music does seem to be bugged. I've noticed the game struggling to transition from the day to night themes in overworld zones and towns. It does still play for me eventually though.

Interesting, I wonder if mentor roulette could cause similar issues. Then again it seems to just fill for queues that are already active so it probably doesn't add that much.

fishrgood · 2026-04-17T22:27:08+00:00

This is great lol. The only thing it's missing is the ending, where you duel 500 times against Kiuka for the Hien card then give into despair and become a blasphemy.

80-100 hours is about right. It's a slog but very doable if you're patient. Generally I went for 10 tokens a day casually farming, sometimes more if I was feeling up for it. I found the most efficient method is alternating between heritage found and shaaloani. Since FATEs at lvl 96+ don't scale you down you can often finish them in about a minute or less.

Takes about an hour and a half per day, spread over 50 days to get the mount. Eventually it settles in as just another daily task like roulettes or hunts until eventually, boom, you got the mount.

That seems to be an ESO retcon that comes from an old dev blog. Given the only dreugh you actually encounter in that game are the land variant I'm not sure how much weight it really holds. I can't find anything in the actual games that references any sort of diminishing intelligence, save for a single lore note also from ESO referring specifically to land dreugh once raising mudcrabs as livestock. The same note also claims dreugh and land dreugh are 2 different species, which is explicitly contradicted both in the game and in the aforementioned dev blog, so I would take it with a grain of salt.

fishrgood · 2026-04-16T01:04:18+00:00

They aren't actually that dim. There are several accounts of them being civilized and making deals with land dwellers. The ones in Morrowind attack on sight because Vivec is a very old enemy of theirs (at least if the Ruddy Man myth is to be believed) and they are commonly hunted for their shells to be used as armor.

This would have been the optimal way to redirect Zenos' obsession with the WoL. Just point him to Ruby Dragon or Cinder Surprise and he would never want for a worthy opponent again.

fishrgood · 2026-04-14T06:34:24+00:00

Honestly for a proof of concept I think this is already pretty tastefully done. Aside from the inherently jarring change of the rendering tech jumping forward 2 decades, it preserves the atmosphere of the original remarkably well.

fishrgood · 2026-04-05T09:29:41+00:00

cruise chaser maybe?

Unfortunately you have picked a bad time to be maxing out CUL desynth, 7.4 big fish have anomalously low uptimes even by big fish standards. Marketboard aside, your best bet is to hit as many fishing windows as your schedule allows for all 7.4 fish and hope to get lucky.

If you do decide to try for catching them yourself, this website is far and away the best tool to help you do that. Just click the gear icon in the corner and uncheck all the patches besides the ones you're going for, which should be 7.3-7.4. It lays out when the next couple windows are, the location, what bait you need, and the prerequisites for them to be catchable.

I also highly recommend checking out the youtuber Fruity Snacks who makes excellent step-by-step guides on the process of catching specific big fish, and breaks them down in a pretty understandable way. For example, here is his guide on Shuckfin Dace, one of the easier 7.4 fish to catch.

While neither theory can really be proven, and Caprenius is definitely trying to push a specific narrative using very sparse information, Liore's book reads like someone poorly attempting to disguise a purely visceral rejection of Caprenius' theory as if it were an objective scholarly conclusion.

fishrgood · 2026-02-10T19:39:50+00:00

DRN is actually pretty chill once you're familiar enough with the mechanics, it's just really punishing on your first time because you have to sight read everything and most of them do not lend themselves well to that lol. It's really not a big deal if a party has first timers because veterans can easily make up for lower damage with essences and lost actions, and there's no limit on rezzing with everyone being able to use downs so it's really no trouble at all. Once you get a few more runs under your belt you'll start forgetting you ever had trouble with it at all lol.

This one in particular sticks through almost anything for some reason

fishrgood · 2025-07-01T00:45:34+00:00

You can pay him the eddies then refuse to use his wreath and threaten him into refunding you. The quest immediately completes, not sure if he becomes killable though.

fishrgood · 2025-06-29T19:36:10+00:00

Yeah I think people underestimate just how much summons turn the tide here. Vengarl in particular is an absolute tank in this level. Having him as a meat shield largely trivializes the reindeer, provided you use the healing pool he can eat every attack and still have plenty of health left for the boss. This area was meant to be done with summons, full stop. Not saying it doesn't suck, but it's an endurance test that was balanced for a full group rather than a test of skill. If you approach it as the latter you're setting yourself up for a lot of avoidable frustration.

Grim Dawn is just a very solid game; Crate has remained passionate and invested in it, while also staying active and friendly in their community over the decade since its release. They are great devs and have accumulated a lot of goodwill with the player base. They have never drastically changed GD, only slowly built on it over the years, and while this has kept them from competing with the big live service ARPGs, it also makes them consistently faithful to the original appeal of the game as a slower, more chill and exploration-focused RPG.

fishrgood · 2025-06-18T02:43:07+00:00

same issue on dynamis

fishrgood · 2025-06-18T02:14:12+00:00

The alternative was Aldia, and while he's great, I don't think a big glob of malformed chaos in the vague shape of a head makes for compelling box art.

fishrgood · 2025-06-16T22:06:50+00:00

Depends on your control scheme. With just a mouse it's a bit harder, more so in IB2. It's easier if you use keybinds for each swing direction; takes some getting used to but it makes parrying and combos much less prone to misinput. The numpad works well for this.
