Half the Vvardenfell: actively researching the mystery of disappearance of the Dwemer, hunting for books and relics, publishing theories

Dagoth Ur *who has totally not been living under a rock and has all access in the world to the Heart and to the source material*: um, sorry, I do not know what happened to the Dwemer. I have been a little busy down here lately, rehearsing speeches for when Nerevar finally returns

sexual assault tw , misogyny tw

please read this about jeremy soule

[chameleonspell]

this is appalling and heartbreaking but we all have to read this

and remember that if the music of our hearts just got ruined forever, that’s 100% jeremy soule’s own fault, not hers for speaking out, and not ours for loving it without knowing the background.

[shalebridgecradle]

(There’s a more succinct article here for people who may be short on time, or just want to read what Lawhead wrote about Jeremy Soule specifically.)

This one hurts. A lot. Fuck him and his “muse” bullshit.

I don’t want to hijack this post, but I feel compelled to offer ways for people to remove & replace Soule’s music from the TES series, at least for PC players. Because in this case…well, there’s no separating art from artist, is there. Ugh.

First, it’s worth noting that he didn’t do the music for Elder Scrolls Online (except the main title music), Blades (for all like…two people playing that), or any TES game prior to Morrowind. He’s also AFAIK not working on TES6. So that just leaves TES3-5.

- For Morrowind: take any MP3 track you like and give it the exact same name as any vanilla Morrowind track; for ex., “MW battle 5.mp3.” They must be .mp3 files. Drag and drop it into the appropriate folder (”battle” or “explore”) in your Morrowind installation folder under Data Files -> Music. To replace the title screen music + music that plays on death, etc. you also need to overwrite the tracks in the “Special” folder.

There are mods that already overwrite the vanilla music on the Nexus or MW Modding History, but I can’t recommend one in particular. You could also download one of the mods that adds to the existing soundtrack and use the renaming trick to replace the vanilla music with those.

- For Oblivion: same as above, but there’s a couple additional folders to replace, “Dungeon” and “Public.” Again, there are already some mods that completely overwrite the vanilla music, like Fantasy Music Overhaul, as well as mods that add to the existing music that can be used as replacers.

- For Skyrim: here’s where it gets trickier. Skyrim’s music system doesn’t allow simple replacements/additions like MW and Oblivion do. You have to use a mod. Also, most music mods only add to the vanilla music, rather than replacing it.

The only music mod I can vouch for personally that has an option to replace the vanilla music is Fantasy Soundtrack Project. Select the “replacer” version when installing it via Mod Organizer or Vortex. (Unfortunately the Classic/LE version of the mod was taken down ages ago, so if you want to use it you’ll have to do some searching.)

ok i cant finish this but . you are my mom

[diredude]

CASSANDRA, WHY ARE YOU SO PERFECT

[foulserpent]

I had a disturbing dream. I can only recall one part. A tall figure with a golden mask led me among the dead as through a wedding celebration. I heard many voices, but no lips moved. I strained to breathe, but my chest didn’t move. The tall figure spoke with each figure as he passed among them, laughing and joking, as if they were alive, but they made no reply. I tried to cry out, but without breath, my tongue fluttered in vain.

[shadowofsithis]

lmao ok but consider Vehcc has like the utmost disgust for clothes and whoever the archcanon is at the moment sits defeated with the smallest loincloth like. “Lord Vivec. Please.” and he’s just like “No fuck u I’m a god lmao”

[romlyndreth]

Vivec: *speaks like a thesaurus for an hour with too many pauses* Dunmer holding back tears of frustration: Please we’re in desperate need of your help.

[nerevar-shid-and-fard]

TES hot takes that shouldn’t be controversial but they are for some reason

the fact that the dunmer own slaves is bad, no matter how you look at it

the treatment of dark elves and argonians in windhelm is bad

the ayleids were wrong

the forsworn and the reachmen, although their methods are bad, are treated unfairly

genocide is…….. bad

the falmer are victims, no matter what way you slice it

[emosothasil]

Entirely correct post op thank you for educating the masses

[anancientmariner]

It’s so funny to me that the Morag Tong are on Solstheim, like what are you gonna do? There’s two towns and forty people. they must be so bored, like, they’re trying to kill one guy, for like twenty years, they had an entire family go undercover as upstanding citizens and pillers of the community for a long while. what are they gonna do once that’s done? wait for little Aventus Hlaalu to do the Ash sacrament? LMAO at these fucking bug-armoured losers

[anancientmariner]

It costs money to become an influential family of pillars of the community, how much is this old as shit contract paying them? what are they doing it for? Mephala? The Vine? 

[anancientmariner]

The person who hired them is 100% dead

[anancientmariner]

Mirri Severin, Having successfully killed first councillor Morvayn, having lost everything, tens of thousands of Septims, forty years of her life: …

Ash-trid, the leader of the Morag Tong: For your service, Five hundred septims…

Mirri: ….

Mephala: And I’m proud of you.

Mirri: My skin? Gold. My ash yams? Watered. My Gods? Reclaimed.

[anancientmariner]

Legit though there are like, as many agents in Ashfallow Citadel as there are citizens of the Skaal Village, and they just sit there, day after day, and once a week Vendil Severin comes to visit with the general intonation of Skeletor and is like “Today I bought milk for Elder Othreloth, I believe the townsfolk are becoming complacent around us. the wheels are finally in motion.”

“You’ve lived there since red mountain fucking exploded you absolute fucking drip!”
