Eeeeeeeh, so finicky.If there's one thing I hate the most, among many others, is the fact that Guards are so random. Typical scene: Guard: "You're like me, eh? don't fancy those clunky Two-Handed weapons."Me: "Yeah, because a bow is like a Greatsword?"Guard: "Nevermind"Me: "And you've got a Warhammer"Guard: ...How stupid.

Not. The Thalmor.I can't get used to Two Handed weapons. They're powerful and have nice finishing moves, yes, but how'd you consider Fireball and a Sword against a, let's say, Greatsword? Waaaaaaay better with the first.Magic is fine for me, until you don't get out of the Schools of Conjuration and Destruction. Others aren't worth considering, IMO. I barely use Heal and those Light spells. Better have a Dremora Lord or a Thrall covering you, side by side with a follower, while you spam Firebolts, Fireballs and other Destruction magic.

Happy birthday, Emzaa! Wait, what? Ah, Emzee. O Sumiki, you night-topic-poster!

This is awesomecooltastic! So great it needed a new word! And that mask is incredible, how did you do that?The waist is perfect, in my opinion, and the arms' design is genius.No flaws in this, sir. Perhaps the best MOC I've ever seen. 11/10

True story. Elemental Fury is pretty much useful, so why wasting it by using enchanted weapons?Uh, Auriel's Bow looks great, even though I don't have Dawnguard. As Auriel's Shield.
-
Yes, but I usually rely on arrow-and-bow tacticts. And I don't like enchanted weapons at all: I can't stand to always have to refill them with Soul Gems, not counting that said gems weigh.

Actually I beat him, but not before dying two or three times due to lack of potions and decent apparel. That's what annoyed me the most. And dual wielded Heal wasn't enough to recover full health, I have low magicka, as an Orc. But at last I defeated him.

I couldn't remember how Alduin is so annoying with his meteor shower... My orc character experienced it very soon.

Actually I feel that it's not fast enough. You have a bunch of an inordinate details that don't matter to the character, while you leave out details that would help flesh him out. In this case it's not really how much you write but what you write. Less is more, especially when you're faced with a character in a desperate situation who doesn't have time to record every single detail.Such a character doesn't have time to think about plot. I would advise you to think about Kadr's situation and then just write without stopping. Don't think about telling us exactly what happening or writing a story that makes sense. This will help recreate the spontaneity of a character who is writing a letter with no time to think about it.I see your reasons. I wrote all those details to give the feeling that Kadr was trying to tell eventual survivors of the catastrophic event what lies there. What happened to them. If someone will ever find that letter, they'll know that those ruins host a dramatic past. But I get what you mean. What do you think I should do to correct the story?

I'd say this. Even BS01 hasn't reported of any "deputy" leader.

Don't you miss the busy server?
Mare Tranquillitatis replied to Illuminatus's topic in General Discussion
Er, a little bit more of activity, like the old times, would be nice, but not those annoying messages... Perhaps, a balance between "heavily crowded" and "town-like community" would be perfect. I went with "I miss the activity, but not those awful server messages...". -
I think I would have to disagree with your reasons. Writing a story as a letter should be an exercise in characterization, not an excuse for the lack of it. A letter is a rather extreme form of first-person viewpoint, and we should hear that characters voice throughout it. It's especially important in this case to consider Kadr's motivations for writing the letter. Who does he hope will find it? You have to consider that considering his situation he's not going to write in every detail, only the ones that seem important to him. (I would think he would at least mention his relationship to his companions.) This letter doesn't have to be linear either. In fact, I'm surprised we don't see more garbled sentences and lack of a coherent plot. Kadr's not really in a situation that is ideal for coherent story telling.With this, I'm starting to think I'll have to edit this story, somehow. I can see what lacks in it. It's too fast, isn't it?

Ninja'd twice. <_<If someone wants some more info, I'm going to spoil this: Me, I'm totally amazed and can't wait for it. Sounds absolutely, incredibly fantastic.

I thought that just created Skeletal Dragons Trust me, guys, Invincible Invisible Dragons are far more annoying... >.>
-
Both sides aren't right at all.Ulfric is racist and he'd admit he wasn't right at all in Sovngarde himself: his tactic weakened the Empire against Thalmors, instead of fortifying it. And, rebelling against an Empire founded by Talos himself, the god they want to worship again? Sounds kinda nonsense.Tullius even doesn't know about major Nord traditions: he couldn't name Sovngarde, only Rikke could during the final battle. Then, the fact that the Empire was going to kill the Dragonborn. Needless to say.
-
Right. It's not required... fortunately.
-
Okay that's true, but I don't think they want to mess with me anymore since I can breath fire. :UTrue. Marked for Death would be better to scare them, however.

[Update 9/20] Disguised Great Being Revealed!
Mare Tranquillitatis replied to Erebus's topic in Bionicle Storyline & Theories
Finally it's been revealed! Thanks to both Erebus and Greg. Let's hope to hear more news from him. Now, guess how would story go on? -
So you killed a Stormcloak soldier for their clothes, then wish to join the Stormcloaks.Logical.I've yet to take a side in the war, but when I do I'll probably go with then Imperials. The Stormcloaks don't like kitties. :CSo, let me see, that way it should be logical siding with the guys who wanted to kill you. Logical.

Prometheans are AIs, pretty much like Cortana. They're defense AIs, as far as I know. But, how did you get that information?
-
Lewa. The others are more serious, in my opinion. And I have to quote Tekulo for that line, that one's fantastic!
-
Right. The turret. Tell me, who will use it when they could use the SAW? I think they'd come pretty much in contrast.But I see your point.A Fistful of Arrows is indeed amazing. They should have canonized it, IMO. But Jun's fate will still be a mistery.Rise of the Spartans is good too, in my opinion.
