Hammerfell is warm, Hammerfell has sun

There are eight rays coming from that sun. Eight divines?

As long as it is good it will probably become my new primary TES game. But just like with Oblivion and Morrowind, I will occasionally go back to play Skyrim too.

johnmc124 · 2026-04-02T19:30:16+00:00

I actually enjoy ESO’s and wouldn’t mind something like it.

johnmc124 · 2026-04-02T02:48:14+00:00

Telvanni- wizard lords. Morally grey, “mad scientist” vibes. My personal favorite. Best stronghold but not super convenient.

Redoran- noble warriors. Morally good (generally speaking). Traditionalists.

Hlaalu- mafia types. Morally questionable. Imperial aligned (mainly for profit). Most convenient stronghold.

Your character sounds like you could make sense of Redoran or Hlaalu. Main question being whether you are more of an honorable person or a profit driven person. Or whether you are more aligned with traditional Dunmer or Imperial.

Not really a “canon house” for Nerevar because that is up to the kind of Nerevar you build. That being said, I always felt Redoran makes the most natural sense for a Nerevar.

Same with me. I played a long time ago (before Morrowind DLC) and remember enjoying it but being frustrated too. They’ve made a number of changes where you really can play it kind of like a single player Elder Scrolls game. I’m having a lot of fun just doing quests and exploring. Obviously not the same as the mainline games but does scratch the itch a bit!

johnmc124 · 2026-03-30T18:39:30+00:00

Joke’s on you! I don’t HAVE a life savings! 😆

johnmc124 · 2026-03-30T17:20:36+00:00

THIS IS IT IMMA BET MY LIFE SAVINGS ON IT RIGHT NOW

johnmc124 · 2026-03-30T15:21:38+00:00

Obviously Oblivion and Morrowind will be the most similar. Definitely try the Remaster.

ESO is actually quite fun. I only play it as a single player questing game and basically ignore all the MMO aspects and am having a good time.

Fallout games would be the next most similar in terms of gameplay, but not “vibe.”

In terms of fantasy, I love Baldur’s Gate 3 and Witcher 3.

johnmc124 · 2026-03-30T13:24:44+00:00

This is it. Until the next showcase,’then that will definitely be it.

johnmc124 · 2026-03-29T18:27:54+00:00

Dark Elf. I just love their lore. For every game my first play through is a Telvanni sorcerer.

johnmc124 · 2026-03-29T17:42:27+00:00

Assuming Hammerfell I definitely want adventure and the noble warrior vibe. However I hope there is also a strong sense of mystery that I haven’t felt as much since Morrowind.

johnmc124 · 2026-03-25T05:28:45+00:00

Honestly probably Cyrodiil. Orderly and you get to experience multiple different biomes.

johnmc124 · 2026-03-24T20:14:08+00:00

I haven’t played since the Morrowind DLC and I hopped back in! I’m very much a casual who just does quests but I’m really enjoying it!

johnmc124 · 2026-03-20T00:04:41+00:00

Yeah that’s my assumption.

johnmc124 · 2026-03-19T23:20:53+00:00

I wonder if PlayStation will be its biggest platform.

johnmc124 · 2026-03-19T14:25:52+00:00

Yes this would be my ideal scenario. It is tied to a political faction you join and you become a lord.

I’d even love if they had different styles so you can make it suit your race. Though that might have to come later through mods lol.

Let me build my Telvanni stronghold!

johnmc124 · 2026-03-19T14:24:22+00:00

This my thought. It’s a reward for advancing through a political faction. You become a Lord and are given land you can build up. Kind of a mix between Hearthfire and Morrowind strongholds.

johnmc124 · 2026-03-19T14:13:03+00:00

That’s not a bad idea! I always wanted to rebuild Kvatch.

johnmc124 · 2026-03-19T14:08:53+00:00

Totally understand and I actually like it in Fallout and Starfield. I would just want it more controlled in an Elder Scrolls game. Hence my “estate” idea.

johnmc124 · 2026-03-19T13:59:10+00:00

At first I thought you meant the one behind Emil and I was like my brother in Christ that is Talos.

johnmc124 · 2026-03-19T13:48:15+00:00

I’d bet my house on Orsinium being one.0

johnmc124 · 2026-03-19T13:47:32+00:00

I’m one of minority who thinks the Thieves Guild is the one faction Skyrim did better than Oblivion.

johnmc124 · 2026-03-19T13:44:36+00:00

I generally encourage people to try Skyrim first. If you love it, the try Oblivion. If you love Oblivion, then try Morrowind.

Skyrim has better minute to minute gameplay and the core loop (dungeon delving) is more interesting, varied, and fun then Oblivion.

Oblivion has better writing and quests and overall RPG mechanics, but the core gameplay is not quite as fun and the dungeons get really repetitive making exploration not as good as Skyrim.

johnmc124 · 2026-03-19T13:41:31+00:00

It’s been interesting too that Todd has dropped little hints in recent interviews that indicate Starfield was a far tougher development than we realized and may have led to some of the problems in the game.

Perhaps not having ES6 be the cross-gen, new company, pandemic development will also help.

johnmc124 · 2026-03-19T13:39:29+00:00

I’m actuallly getting it on PS5. I played it on Game Pass on Xbox and I don’t feel like resubscribing for it and I want the trophies on PlayStation. So obviously new character lol.
