So, if we don't here from you for a while, we know what's happened Yep. Blame Cthulhu. Or maybe Dagon.* Or crazy half fish people cultists. Surely half fish people are no match for a Khajiit? Ah but there is only one Khajiit and many crazy half fish people cultists.

Change can be good or bad. I haven't had an avatar for many years. My last one was a circle of cliff racers surrounding a player looking upward.

QUOTE(Acadian @ Oct 13 2016, 12:41 PM) CT, very cool! Rather brilliant to have another avatar that is different but leaves zero doubt that it is still you at a glance. Thanks. I've been meaning to change it to this for a while, I just never got around to it for some reason. QUOTE(ghastley @ Oct 13 2016, 02:14 PM) But are you now wearing an umbrella because it's raining?

So, what do you think?
Most often it´s not Hmm.... dunno. But it´s your choice anyway and I doubt I have a say Sadly true. But yeah, I'm thinking I'll stick with this new one QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ Oct 13 2016, 02:57 PM) Ah but there is only one Khajiit and many crazy half fish people cultists.

... And now I'm getting Morrowind flashbacks. I can still hear the squawking

Ah that familiar "SKREEEEEE!" sound from Morrowind. A sound that is, shall we say, the opposite of relaxing?
A sound that as you walked and admired a (at the time) beautiful landscape could strike fear into new players and usher annoyance into the hearts of grizzled vets.
*Wipes tear*
It was a beautiful time.

The problem is that cliff racers would follow for very long distances from a height that didn't trigger combat music.
What could happen, especially around the Ghostgate is that you may run around for long periods not knowing you've unwittingly attracted the attention of 5-6 cliff racers, which is enough to thrash new players. Sometimes more. To make it worse, some of them may be diseased or blighted.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Oct 13 2016, 02:37 PM) Well, I never visited Ghostgate and I pretty soon got to Solstheim from whence I´ve never returned Solstheim is arguably the most beautiful place in the game. I loved the snow and introduction of lycanthropy into the game. Funny part is I was just a kid when it came out and when a buddy told me the details I didn't believe him. I'd already sank hundreds of hours into vanilla Morrowind at that point and it, along with Tribunal, dragged me back in for several hundred more. I love many of the ES games but have yet to feel as engrossed and generally satisfied with an ES game since Morrowind. Of course these were the days of expansions that were the size of all of the DLC combined in most games for a considerably lower price point. Some of it is admittedly nostalgia but at the same time, it had a depth that I've never really seen since.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Oct 13 2016, 03:10 PM) Well, it´s still quite similar to your last one, Thorny. And I reckon that umbrella can prove useful later on Dammit!

Heh, those things wouldn't stop at fear, they could inspire full blown panic in new players. I'd bet that swarms of cliff racers were responsible for a lot of new players thrashing their mouse button to try and kill them all. I'm trying to think of more obnoxious annoyances I've come across in videogames, and there really aren't that many. Between the noise they made, the way they'd attack, and the potential for carrying blight or diseases, they almost seem designed to troll the player. And it makes the references to Saint Jiub in Oblivion one of the things about the game that Morrowind fans could truly appreciate QUOTE(Kiln @ Oct 13 2016, 03:33 PM) The problem is that cliff racers would follow for very long distances from a height that didn't trigger combat music.

I could swear on a few occasions I got attacked by a dozen or more of the blasted things. Combine that with their habit of hanging back out of reach letting more arrive and the area could be littered with winged corpses. This post has been edited by Callidus Thorn: Oct 13 2016, 03:54 PM

You tell me; I felt like coming home! Never was too much of a fan of Morroowind´s alien nature even though it was interesting, but upon reaching Solstheim I was lost forever in the most goodliest of ways possible

QUOTE(mirocu @ Oct 13 2016, 09:23 AM) I actually never experienced it like you guys seem to have, and most gamers. Then again I also never found the Dunwich building scary whatsoever.´ I´m clearly missing something here No dude, Cliff Racers were terrifying because when you heard the "SKREEEE" and looked around you never knew how many you'd find chasing you! Not to mention the blighted ones that give you crippling diseases! Dunwich building had good, creepy atmosphere but Khajiit didn't find it very scary either.

Callidus: Yeah 5-6 was meant to be a pretty conservative number. I got hit with tons at once too at times.
Mirocu: You're not done with Morrowind until you've tackled the entire mainland too!
Khajiit: Exactly!
