He just was there, looking at me.

i like that in morrowind elves legitimately have differently shaped bodies from the mannish races. they’re kind of more triangular and narrow below the ribs

[alandrosul]

for example, caius and jiub. their stance is a little different too, given the difference in waist-width. mer just have a slightly more alien, angular look, almost insectoid with the ribbing on the muscles. as a contrast here's menelras, a bosmer slave from tel aruhn:

notice his muscles are smoother, not as ridged. i couldn't find a good shirtless image of an altmer, but here's an orc, lorzub gro-bogla from caldera:

orcs have similar muscle striations to dunmer, which makes sense to me, they have somewhat similar origins as daedra-altered. and it might just be me, but it looks like the dunmer have slightly taller upper chests than bosmer and orsimer.

[alandrosul]

also, compare caius up there with alodie jes, a breton in ebonheart. bretons seem to be narrower than imperials.

thankfully there is no shortage of shirtless nords to choose from so here's the first i found: abbard the wild outside bal fell. tbh they look about the same as imperials like caius - maybe a little longer, which almost makes them proportionate to the bretons moreso than imperials.

and finally for the non-beast races, let's look at redguards. this is jon hawker, a redguard from the dungeon nammu, is is actually an avatar of zenithar himself. looks about the same as a breton to me.

khajiit and argonians seem to both use a slightly modified version of the dunmer bodies. this is j'saddha from the daedric ruin ashalmawia, and big head from the sheogorath quest up in sheogorad.

you could probably also take a look at the female body differences but i can't be bothered atm

Hi! Adding as someone engaged in modding Morrowind before!

You're right, the actual chest mesh is different between male men and mer. In Morrowind, every body part is a separate model - chest, groin, upper legs, knees etc. and there is a real difference in the mesh shape.

For the differences within categories, races have different height and weight settings which are fairly simple - higher weight makes the character stretched wider and height taller.

For women, I don't think there is a chest mesh difference but the textures applied to them do show differences iirc. It's a neat thing that I think is unique to Morrowind to give the impression that elves are physiologically different to men!

[triangletoothedlockpick]

Confirmed, no difference in the female chest mesh (above) compared to the male chest (below)

Thoughts on the Bethesda layoffs?

Do you know what company used to pride itself on having extremely high employee retention, with some developers staying there for 10, 20, 30 years (something nearly unheard of in the AAA game's industry)?

Do you know what company just had that entire bit completely wiped out overnight because some inhuman corporate shitheel that's gonna jump ship in three years to some AI crypto startup decided that quest designers and lead concept artists were somehow middle management? Wanna guess how many of those actual supposed layers of managers that were causing problems were actually dealt with?

But hey, gamers will happily celebrate it happening because said company made a mid space game and *checks notes* were 3 years into a game with a 4-6 year development cycle like every single other game they've made in the past, and even though none of the gamers would like the game anyway the game wasn't being made fast enough and therefore they need to be fired, because clearly firing artists and level designers and quest designers and replacing them with the empty space where a tech CEO's soul should be is clearly going to result in a better game overall, right?

No, no strong thoughts at all about that.

you may think misogyny is good because it is made up of miso, which is delicious, and gyny, which is woman. and girl miso sounds great. but 👆 it is not girl miso

[getbentdaily-deactivated2025122]

"Miso" is Greek for "hatred". "Gyny" is Greek for "woman" Misogyny literally means "hatred of women".

The word "misogyny" is always associated with the unnecessary hatred and abuse of women. No one ever thinks about this word in a positive light.

[muppetshow2026]

will you ever forgive me

[muppetshow2026]

jesus christ did i fucking kill them im sorry

[tobiasdrake]

you may think homicide is good because it is made up of homo, which is gay, and cider, which is delicious. And gay cider sounds great. but 👆 it is not gay cider

I hear music in the air tonight

One familiar fading tune

Something pulls at my infected soul

I think I remember you

No One Will Save You, Aviators

Nerevarine/Voryn sketches because WHY NOT. I was listening to Aviators’s “No one will save you now” and was like Imma rip off that. Of course in this situation the “music” is Vin/Nerevar’s voice making Dagoth have a moment of lucidity
