The one thing keeping me from it, outside not buying Necrom yet, is it being a caster. My one MMO weakness is I can never play a caster for long.

If it helps all gameplay shown of them indicates if you build for it you can play them equally well in melee. The game doesnt force you to be a caster or melee. be both.

@Aldru-argent-dawn

She’s the weird one with a naked Khajiit in her room right?

That is her yes, she’s only just been promoted to Magister at this point.

@Aldru-argent-dawn

She better have a good reason, I learned if I played a female character in Morrowind I would not only have a far easier time I would also get more scrolls of summon golden saint as a reward D:<

Her reasoning is basically she makes a deal with a Daedra that told her one day, at a random point in the far future a man will come to her and kill her. As the daedra said. A man. Not a woman. Hence she by default suspects all men as being the one to finally come and do her in. As for what lead to this… you’ll see in her town.

@Aldru-argent-dawn

Khajiit needed more lore than “lol rromani cat people” and Argonian’s are just cool, just ask any Daedra what happended in Blackmarsh during the oblivion crisis

They managed to build Khajiit into this fabuolous society of moon-worshippers, skilled warriors and cunning thieves who rather than fall into a sterotype take their cunning and guile in the art with extreme pride. All in a neat pseudo-persian style.
Argonians likewise were developed into this very cool aztec people. Who originally lived in great stone dwellings and temples before abandoning them after their society grew stagnant. The variety of Argonians as well as their cultures grew as well.

@Blythan-argent-dawn

One day someone race changing a lot will just break this forum into itty bitty twigs that then catch fire.

look if the forums would JUST let me change character and hide my lack of impulse control

Hmmmmmmmmmmm tempting.
But that would mean another character or does ESO do the gigachad play of all classes one character like FF? I should honestly just look stuff up at this point.

@Reioko-argent-dawn

Oh boi, she’ll be a whiplash to watch in ESO then.

Fantastic, she took it literal and not just referring to a man as the race of men not mer. Beautiful.

Delicious, all other Argonian lore was just hist this, hist that, enslaved there and enslaved there. They ate well and so did Khajiit.

Slowly trudging through quests, doing stuff in Stonefall, should do main quest and then hop over to Vvardenfell.

Sadly not. At best you can have diffrent builds per character (Like one for healing one for dealing melee damage with dual-wielding. Or my favourite kind. Full stealth, all sneaking, pickpocketing.)

@Aldru-argent-dawn

Yeah the Murkmire dlc showed how far they came, as did Blackwood. You got diffrent tribes with vastly diffrent appearances shaped by their Hist’s to suit their environments. The Naga-Kur with their all black scales and almost pirhanna/aligator like features, the Bright Throat’s who act as ambassador’s between the diffrent tribes and wed into them as their rite (which you see in a quest), the Ghost People, albino Argonians from a dead hist who cannot produce offspring of their own so steal the egg’s of other tribes to raise more of their own. Who are also venerable necromancers, a practise not that common among Argonian’s outside their tribe.

As well as their veneration of Sithis and the shadowscales that serve him.

@Aldru-argent-dawn

Id almost say do Deshaan as well before vvardenfell if only because of a recurring important NPC that will appear in Vvardenfell too

I can’t even see the damn trees. Let alone some tiny bird butts.

wait, what are these birds doing here?!

[Vaxir-argent-dawn (Vaxir)]

I really, really caught my fiance’s lurgy They feel ok now but nooo, I caught it and now I feel like death.

Yeah I read into it last night after posting, FF truly has spoilt me in that regard. Now I have to decide wether or not I want to make another Dunmer or something else for it.

My Nightblade build will be the magicka DPS one, should be decent for solo and such as well as group content.

All the good, I did see some of the argonian ghost stuff, so I look forward to eventually doing that.

Will keep in mind, doing some event and Stonefalls quests atm

That’s why you should spec into blood instead of unholy : (

Blood spec, last I tried, was like

ewwwwwwww

[Elenthas-argent-dawn (Elenthas)]

Blood is fundamentally the same as it has been since around WoD’s era, but the changes they added in DF make it a lot smoother and forgiving for not having end-of-expac level haste stat. If you’ve not touched it since slands or before it’s worth giving it a shot, it’ll be both familiar but also better than before.

[Blythan-argent-dawn (Blythan)]

Been levelling my DK a bit and you really don’t need a healer most of the time in TW dungeons. You will scare the healer that is there sometimes on bigger pulls but it’s never more than one button press from “actually everything is fine”.

[Reioko-argent-dawn]

@Blythan-argent-dawn

You will scare the healer

good i want to be scared. i need that fear and adrenaline rush to feel alive. oh that big room of twilights before ozruk? cowabunga it is tank-chan

[Blythan-argent-dawn (Blythan)]

I death and decay into slappy hands that room

[Desartin-argent-dawn (Desartin)]

Now there’s a blast from the past… I’ve had so much fun with that game back in the day. Especially when playing it in hot seat mode with my cousin, playing Rampart, and randomly getting two stacks of about 225 upgraded elven archers to join your army close to the start…

@Blythan-argent-dawn

I can’t even see the damn trees. Let alone some tiny bird butts.

Thank God I am through that quest. Now I can calmly work towards the end… the grand finale… the tragic conclusion… oh God I don’t want to…

Thanks I need it. I really wish I could save the horses though, especially now that I found a horse I never saw before, without guide or anything:

It’s a red Araby!

@Blythan-argent-dawn

(spend ages trying to get a woodpecker and a robin to spawn :I )

Oh good grief, they are terrible… I think I eventually found those birds alongside the Dakota river, there’s a spot near the burnt village close to Horseshoe Overlook where alot of birds spawn on the rocks in the river, though woodpeckers tend to be near trees.
