Blackreach was SOO awe inspiring when I first got there. It's just so BIG. xD

It's one of my favorite places in Skyrim visually speaking, but it's inhabited by my least favorite enemies in the entire game so I don't actually go there often sadly.

I loved blackreach in a visual sense, collecting the rare and elusive crimson nirnroot? NOT SO MUCH. But anyway, I have a buddy of mine that LOVES oblivion but he says he didn't like Skryim EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN'T BEAT IT YET. If he just kept going to this place he would've really liked it, it's just a cool place to be. The new expansion was awesome but that 20 dollars could've been spent wiser. Oh, and I'm very interested in what your character's background is. As an argonian, us beast races have to stick together ya know!

I'm considering the expansion because it looks awesome, but a new semester starting and the $20 that I dont have are staying my hands. What do you think?

I say wait a bit for the price to drop, or wait for the inevitable skyrim " game of the year " edition that will have all the DLC that will come out if you're thinking long term lol. If you have it for the PC wait since a lot of the new features are already covered in mods such as face re-creation, trees for werewolves and vampmires, bottling blood so my friend says.

I'm on the PS3 so I don't have that dilemma just yet...but it's your choice my friend.

Like I told the fella up there I love it visually but I absolutely loathe the beings that inhabit it, that and the fact that I need to run through a dwemer ruin in order to get to it wasn't exactly my favorite thing to do either. e_e;;

I absolutely love the beast races, I have two Khajiit characters and one Argonian. uwu; I try and I try but I always make a character that's a beast race.

I like the Elder Scrolls series.
I played each game in the series.
Morrowind I played the expansions as well and did almost everything imaginable in both vanilla and modded versions.
Oblivion I played the game... I own the expansions but did not explore alot into them. I beat the game at least...
Skyrim is really unique... because the Nords conquered High Rock and use Bretons as slaves in the game and Argonians conquered both Vvardenfell and Morrowind and have killed off both allies of argonians and fellow argonians in the name of their crazy tree worshipping cult. Combine that with propaganda given off by Ulfric and the new Imperial emporers makes the series seem extremely dark and morbid. I know that Martin Septim was adopted, and even a Breton, and that he did not perform ritual suicide to summon Akatosh during the Oblivion Crisis. With all the conspiracy, intrigue, assassinations and murders filling up through Tamriel, I wonder if anyone and anything is safe... I have yet to beat the game in Skyrim, and have not yet bought or played Dawnguard. But the further the Elder Scrolls series proceed, the more lies and manipulation are used by people... and more of the past and knowledge is lost... just like how the Mages Guild is gone... and how Ulfric doesn't realize in that one conversation in game that the reason Solstheim refuses to aid him is that Atmorians hate the Divines as much as they hate the Empire, the Skaal of Solstheim will never convert to Talos and never aid Skyrim in religious wars.

PS: I tend to play the following races and have been interested in RolePlaying with people in Elder Scrolls P&P for a while, ever since back when such a thing was common place. I play as Khajiit and Dunmer, and rarely as Bretons and Argonians.

Sadly I've only played skyrim when it comes to the Elder Scroll series. (Though I've played Fallout 3 and New Vegas before). I wish I had the time and patience to deal with all the previous Elder Scroll games. They do seem really fun but a little too tedious for me. I'm not a huge fan of micromanaging everything . e_e Maybe one day I'll bite the bullet and play it, maybe not.

I absolutely do love the sense of how complex and underlying everything is if you take the time to look, yet it's not in your face so even if you're not interested in that it's accessible to new players like me and many other people. While I hate making hard decisions I love how there is no true "good and evil" for lots of quests and events.

Yeah, but playing the series one time period to another and learning everything about the world is important.
Plus, you may find some surprising and disturbing secrets.
Some of the information and books by the Empire are filled with lies in Skyrim, and you can only find the truth if you played the entire campaign of Oblivion. Likewise, over time people stopped believing many things about Daedra, truth is there are many Daedric realms, Oblivion is a single small realm connected to many others. And most Daedra only exist is a select few realms, with the exclusions being Atronarchs.

Yes, but each of the games are so vast and huge it's a little unfair to look down on players simply because they haven't gotten to them lol. It's like being that one guy who's a jerk to new comic fans because they haven't read all 300+ previous comic books of a series. They'll get to it, just eventually.

I love how it came out. So pretty. Despite the Falmers running around the place, this is my favorite place in all the game. It's so huge and pretty and there is so much potential for lore.

i hate meeko sooo much very time i swing my great sword at some one i end up killing him because hes dumb enough to jump right in front of me. ah meeko there will soon be a time when i take your soul and use it to recharge my weapon XD

I know he does that to me too sometimes. :c

I don't know the elder scrolls lore all too much but from what I've seen female kitties can have titles but it's more of a rare case, and limited to the S' (which doesn't have a meaning that I know of yet)

And thanks for the compliments, I can't wait to see you draw art of you and your girlfriend's dovakin. :D

Ooh I see, honestly thanks for the lesson. I like learning more about the elder scrolls lore. :D
