I know she's from before the current Empire, and I think she's from before the first Empire, so I think that's like first era? She's definitely from before all the other Elder Scrolls games except maybe online.
So were dragonborn and dragons just a thing when she got buried? My character's a Dunmer, am I the first Dunmer she's seen? What was the world like for her?
Hey y'all. I've seen people mention filling up the family bin to increase the variety of sims who can move in. How should I go about that? Just let the families I make sit there and maybe show up in other worlds? I've noticed I've had a bias towards making female sims so I'll need to correct that. Would these sims also fill the role of townie? Should I make.maids and babysitter sims?
The first two images are of the interior and exterior of a gothic church, featuring pointed arches. The last two show a romanesque church with round arches, so you can see the difference.
For those who don't know, pointed arches allow buildings to be taller, with more open space, because the arch puts more of a downward rather than outward force on the structure. The invention of the pointed arch would allow more interior space, as well as making the towers thinner and airier. So later districts, as well as more essential districts like Cliffside with its docks and warehouses, would incorporate pointed arches. Their towers are airier, with more room inside to build bigger apartments.
However, Dura is far more solid, feeling subterranean or like a prison. The apartments are small and cramped, and the way the round arch distributes forces would mean whatever buildings are built into/on the towers would be more prone to shifting or even collapsing. This is why Dura is categorically worse than every other district in Sharn, and it's not really gonna be fixed because that would require remodeling the towers, and somehow getting the extra stone out of the city.
I was just talking with my fiancee about how interesting that would be. Garak would be in a very unusual position, being a former high ranking Obsidian Order operative but also having lived with Starfleet personnel and Bajorans for 7 years. He'd be trying to build a better Cardassia. You could also do something interesting with Garak and Bashir's relationship because at first they'd have to keep it a secret to avoid weakening Garak's position (and minimize the threat to Julian's life). Not out of homophobia, but because when rebuilding Cardassia into something better Garak would take inspiration from the Federation and it'd be really easy for people to use their relationship to claim Garak's been corrupted/suborned by the Federation. So it could be homophobia coded as many of the same tropes could apply, but it wouldn't actually be homophobia.
Does something like this exist?
'Clash' instead of 'war', 'nullify' instead of 'kill'. I get that it was part of a trend for a while to use words differently to make worlds feel more alien/dystopian, and most of it doesn't fit with the TikTok censoring algorithm, but it's so funny to me whenever they say 'nullify'.
It's been a couple weeks both in and out of universe since my first post on this story, by now everyone's at least a toddler so I've got five more sims to show you. I didn't see much point in sharing pictures of the infants. I haven't designed their outfits because I have the shop for clothing mod so it'd be 120 dollars per outfit. Right now I guess when they age up they scrounge at Sims goodwill or something for clothes, but the teens are about to go buy a bunch of clothes so that'll put a damper in their savings.
Faith Amos 'vanished' about a week ago, and sometimes the kids still get the 'get attention from mom' wish, which sorta hurts when I see it ngl. When she vanished, her eldest (both werewolves) were barely teens. Both of them skipped school that day, and that evening Oz switched to being homeschooled. He was technically the eldest (he popped up before Fiona) and Fiona rolled the insane trait to start, so she's got a little of their mom in her. Which means Oz has become more and more responsible as the younger siblings started piling up. Fiona's still going to school, but both of them have picked up a part time job. Fiona gets at most 40 dollars, but every day of the week (newspaper delivery), and Oz gets at most 60 dollars four days a week (busing tables). Given they have five toddlers, and I've got several mods to raise the cost of living, that isn't quite enough.
For those curious, the mods I am referring to are higher household bills (5% of lot value), utilities (without AC or heating), and bottles and diapers cost money (five dollars to be exact).
I won't let myself chain hunt with the teens, or the challenge aspect will vanish. There were a lot of expensive decorations, courtesy of their mother, and they sold a bunch of those. But they've got a little over 3 weeks before they become adults, and eight days before any more children age up to teens. With winter here, gardening is far less valuable, and the most valuable things they grow they need for invigorating elxirs. So I'm hoping they find a way to make it through. Also for each kid, next age up they won't get a good trait unless the game forces me. They've been through a lot, and besides that way it'll be more interesting.
Think about it. The president of the Federation was a Grazerite who declared martial law on Earth. Not just San Francisco, troops were patrolling in New Orleans too. So the Federation government has the capacity to make decisions for Earth in a way we don't see for any other nation. It's like how the Capital of the US is Washington DC, but DC can't do much without the approval of the Federal government.
And the reason most of the people we see in Starfleet are humans? Humans are the only species who don't seem to have their own fleet. A Vulcan who wants to explore space can join the Vulcan fleet, or they can join with a fleet that requires then to be among illogical aliens, possibly even take orders from them. Because humanity got into space and within a few years founded the Federation, they don't have their own fleet.
Generally I do not like MMOs or anything else I can't pause. However, I am very interested in the lore of other nations in TES. I even tried playing Arena because I knew you traveled everywhere, but I kept crashing and getting killed by assassins before I woke up fully. Upon further research I'm not sure the buildings in different nations are distinct in Arena anyway.
So, is Elder Scrolls worth it from a wandering around and seeing the nations perspective? Would I have to pay extra to visit all of them? How do the deep lore fans feel about the portrayal of everywhere in ESO?
Edit: thanks everyone for your replies. Once I am no longer unemployed I'll get a subscription to ESO at least for a bit
