Still in Coldharbour there mALX. It's a little underground hideout made by Sir Cadwell, right out in the wastes. Has some crafting benches and stuff.

One more screenie before bed:

First look at Daggerfall

Oh, Daggerfall is gorgeous!


Well, did you check all those books for some skill ups? Were there any in them?

Hazmick – That lizard of yours really gets around!

Coldharbour - Wow, what a library! All Haa-Rei needs is some reading tea. Honor, honour, tomaaeto, tomaahto.

Hammerfell - A guar seems perfect for Haa-Rei. Does the animal share some of Haa-Rei’s reptilian traits? The desert looks magnificent. Reminds me of the fabulous deserts of Anequina in Elsweyr. Those ruins do look awfully tempting. . . .

Daggerfall – Very impressive. I imagine the green is welcome after spending time in Hammerfell.

hazmick, Haa Rei looks cozy in his Nord attire. I love that staff, it’s beautiful! The ‘U’ in Honor’s name went to spell ‘ColdHarbour.’ Congrats on Guaraug the Tessellated Guar! Haa Rei picked my favorite. They look awesome and well-suited to weird terrain. Hammerfell and Daggerfall look gorgeous. Jerric is lingering in Kragenmoor, so it’s nice to see new lands in your pictures.


Here’s Jerric’s new favorite fishing hole. He can either look at those falls or turn around and watch the bull netch while he’s fishing. There’s a lava flow right there so he can take a hot bath and then a cool shower whenever he feels like it. If there was a cookfire nearby he may not have ever left.

Jerric doing magely things. His magicka regenerates just like everyone else’s due to a lack of true Atronach blessing (at least so far), so he can cast more spells in combat than he has ever been able to cast in his life. Cast more times, that is, not use a variety of spells. His spell book is very thin. But the ones he knows, he casts a lot!

Honor was obviously named after this Englishwoman.

Beautiful shots, Grits. I can’t help but notice that Jerric is wearing quite a bit more than, say, the typical wood elf might wear so close to waterfalls. . . . His maging looks pretty spectacular! Is he summoning an arch mage? Wow, I’ll bet Jerric is really enjoying not having to make and lug around so much Jerric juice with his ESO magicka regeneration.

mALX - they were all just for show I'm afraid. Not a single skill point to be found

Acadian - Yep, he can't sit still for more than 5 minutes. Such is the life of an adventurer, and what better steed for an Argonian than a Guar! I have a sneaking suspicion that the two are distantly related.

ghastley - Ah yes, Honor Blackguar. Has lots of cats, I believe.

Grits - One of these days Jerric is going to fish right into the path of an Argonian out for a morning swim. Glad to see him helping out the Mages Guild. Can't wait to hear his thoughts on it all.


Haa-Rei is still unsure about Daggerfall. Everyone seems a bit too fancy for a lizard who grew up in a mud hut. The scenery isn't too bad though, and the Bretons have some pretty nice outfits. Haa-Rei never thought he'd miss the Dark Elves, but all he wants to do right now is to rescue a cute Dunmer from almost certain death. It's the simple things in life that you miss the most.

Hazmick, I know what you mean about not sitting still for five minutes. My elf’s the same.

Yup, a guar mount sounds perfect!

Wow, that first scenery shot here in Daggerfall is very neat. What a beautiful big tree. And nice shot of Haa-Rei’s bow on his back.

So, in the second picture, is he wearing a Breton outfit? If so, something tells me he’ll never really pass for one of them.

Honor is cute!

It is neat to see all these other cultures, for the first time in a long time. Daggerfell has pretty towers, and I love the sand dunes of Hammerfell. But I agree with Haa, the Bretons sound like they have a bug up their hind ends.

Jerric fishing got me interested in fishing big time, but so far haven't made it to actually fish. That is really interesting about the Atronach power, is that something they have in ESO? I didn't find it if it was, but would sure like it. I run out of Magicka all the time; and at the worst moments.

I saw some Player party goers killing a Betty Netch - had to leave, because there was nothing I could do to stop them. I didn't want to see her die, but did find her body on the way back through. Really ticked me off, they are so awesome, I hate to see them slaughtered for no reason.

I had to summon Arch Mage Shalidor for Sheogorath; is that the same quest? Somehow when Misa did it, it didn't look as cool or deserve a screenshot, lol. Urk. Jerric must be an awesome mage!

Love these screenshots, Jerric looks great in ESO !!!

Oh, the scenery in Daggerfall is gorgeous!!!! Aw, poor Haa Rei! I like his Argonian armor on him better, the Breton armor doesn't do him justice! Awesome shots!

Acadian, Jerric got to summon and consult with the real Shalidor in that scene! He was somewhat in awe and even more convinced that he’s experiencing some sort of extended fever dream. Sadly Arch-Mage Shalidor is not a regular summoning spell, so Jerric has to wait to talk to him again. Jerric keeps checking the waterfalls for wood elves. Hope springs eternal.

hazmick, Haa-Rei looks so handsome in his Breton robes! Daggerfall looks beautiful. I hope Haa-Rei meets some friendly Bretons.


In Oblivion the Atronach Birthsign gives you zero magicka regeneration, and in Skyrim I have modded the Atronach Stone to give zero magicka regeneration instead of just slowing it. So Jerric is used to having no magicka regen at all, he only gets magicka from absorption and potions. In ESO his magicka is the same as everyone else’s since he is not cursed by the Atronach. He still runs out, but then it comes back on its own so he can cast again.

Funnily enough the ESO Atronach Mundus Stone supposedly increases your magicka regen, which is the opposite of the previous games. Jerric hasn’t found the Atronach Mundus Stone yet. He’s found The Lady and The Lover so far.

The Shalidor screenshot is the same quest that Misa did, it’s part of the Mages Guild quests related to Sheogorath. The ritual just looked cool, so I snapped a rare shot of Jerric looking like a mage. I hate when players kill the Bettys. Apparently there’s some kind of achievement for it.

Jerric went fishing again today after some saddening (and unavoidable) deaths in a major quest. Since he’s alone and the brothel ‘nightflowers’ are always busy, fishing is his way to unwind. The bobber does bob and there are fun fishing noises. He loves it.

I went into an Inn in Ebonheart and saw a man that looked a lot like Jerric laying in a bed with a woman standing on top of the bed dancing sexy for him! If I didn't already know that I can't see Console Players; I'd have been sure I was seeing Jerric, lol.

The Breton outfit ended up being a no-go. Not enough scale motifs on it for Haa-Rei's taste.

The scenery of High Rock continues to impress, and we even found a cosy swamp area.

Also, some traditional Breton stonework. I believe they refer to this as 'art'.

Finally, at a Hammerfell-themed engagement party, Haa-Rei found someone with which to have a pleasant conversation. At last.

'Cosy swamp area' is just a spectacular shot. I love the color and details on both Haa-Rei and his guar, as well as the nice flowing water in front of them. Makes a nice balance with the more gloomy leafless trees and fog.

Oh noes! Not gonna trade the guar in for a camel is he?

Still not sure if I'm getting ESO, but wow those screens are great! Grits and Hamzick, I bet you guys are having so much fun in Tamriel.

The cosy swamp looks great. It looks like they did a much better job on the shore line than the regular ES games. In those ones there is a very sharp contrast between water and land, and the contours of the shore tended to have a lot of straight lines. But in ESO the shore looks much more rounded and gradual. The lillypads and reeds growing out of the water help too. That pic makes me want Elder Scrolls VI: Black Marsh.

I wonder to what extent they're using ESO to determine preferences for TES VI? Most popular areas become candidates for next game's setting?

Probably High Rock due to the area. Bethesda is a fan of medieval europe and trees and stuff. I like it too. But I'd be a welcome change to visit Elsweyr in the sixth installment. I'd definitely roll out a khajiit and take a break from Imperials. I find their lore and culture fascinating.

OMG, the camel has a name? How awesome! Great screenshots!
