So many games, so little time!

Even now when I don´t have a job!

So many games, so little time!

You got that right. Sheesh.

I play Arena rather casually. None of the misc quests seem to work for some reason, so RG mostly just runs around while I enjoy the pixelated atmosphere of Dunstad Grove. I'll probably switch to Daggerfall sometime during the spring, Fallout 3 during the summer, and Morrowind during the Fall. Imagine that? Me playing Morrowind.

I've cut Skyrim back to naught now that I've got PC / Oblivion going, but I'll probably play Skyrim once every other week. Kahreem is once a week. Snaat Rayag is my new beau, so I'll be with him almost every day, unless he dies. I have one more OB character I want to introduce, she'll be mostly living in the I.C. though, while I explore Better Cities. I'm also starting up a Sims game, which will appear in the Fan Art section.

But the good news: Lady Saga will return, this time on PC. I'm pretty psyched about her return. Been missing her.

An arena/daggerfall thread? Why hadn't I seen this before?

Hmm... Maybe one day I'll try daggerfall again, for now I'm stuck in the same situation as you Renee, there are way too many games I want to play.

Renee, you'll love morrowind. I played it after oblivion (although I bought if first ) and had a great time. I'm currently playing through it again, between skyrim, oblivion and a bit of Dishonored.

[Renee]

Yes, we've even got a thread for older games, absolutely. I only started playing Arena a month ago myself. In the spring I'll try Daggerfall and in the fall Morrowind. That's my plan. I want to experience the series sequentially, you see.

[mirocu]

Played some Arena this afternoon. Went around Dunstad Grove at night fighting monsters and breaking into stores. Thing is I have been away from it for some time now and I can´t really see myself come back to it again. It´s still not impossible for me to do the MQ but at this point I´m more inclined to play Oblivion and later on Fallout 3.

[Renee]

I just like messing around with Arena, just for that 'back in time' feeling, but I'm not really all that serious about it. If I can figure out how to start the MQ, I will go ahead and try to do it, but so far I can't even get RG's random quests going.

I am going to play some Arena in a moment. After that's over, I'm going to have a 'mystery guest' in another game.

[Vital]

Well, after stumbling across a video of Arena on the internet I decided to give it a go! So far so good

o0o0o

Benethor the Breton Rogue:



He's been making his way through the sewers after escaping from his cell in the Imperial prison, with a little help from Ria Silmane. He's using a steel longsword he found to dispatch of any Goblins and rats as he escapes the sewers, resting frequently along the way. He's just found the portal out before I left him.

[mirocu]

Yay, another Arena gamer! To replace me as I´ve stopped for now..

Maybe I will pick it up again some time.

[Renee]

I'll pick it up again, too. I've decided I'm going to do Arena's Main Quest even if it takes me a year or more. I'm not moving on to Daggerfall until I'm done with TES 1.

How did you get that picture, Vital?

[mirocu]

I thought about doing Arena´s MQ but I´ve lost interest in it now. Much the same as with FO3 I´ve been away for too long and moved on with Lothran´s game but I´m glad I´ve played it for some time. Though I´m not saying I won´t ever pick it up again

[Vital]

How did you get that picture, Vital?

It's just a screeny from the character menu

Benethor is lost and a little confused in the town of White Haven. He has no idea where he is and now he's being attacked on the streets?!?! There seems to be no inn and he's resorted to breaking into houses

I found that not even inns are always 100% safe. At one point I got attacked in there at night!

[Renee]

Vital, what province is Benethor in?

[Vital]

High Rock I believe, although I can't actually figure out how to get a world map, only the local one....

Same button, you just right-click instead of left-click or vice versa. I think...

Turdas 3rd of Hearthfire, 3e 389. Tales and Tallows holiday.

Benethor was quite lost when he found himself in an unfamiliar town at night, however he eventually found his way to The Silver Ogre Inn, thanks to a woman he encountered on the street named Belladonna Greenton. He rented a flea-ridden single room, but was too tired from his escape to really care.

He had another vision of Ria Silmane, telling him to locate Fang Lair. Initially he was confused how to do so, however he asked around and the townsfolk managed to point him in roughly the right direction; Hammerfell. He'll head out there soon, but today all he was worried about was getting some supplies.

Ben bought some leather armour which he looks quite good in. I love the blacksmiths!:lol: He then headed into the Mages Guild to buy some potions and sell a crystal, I also rp'd this was were he asked about Fang Lair, despite their being no dialogue option for it. Later Ben paid a visit to the temple, or Brotherhood of Temperance. I don't think he's very religious but he is from a religious family and those things rub off, I guess.

Soon Ben will slowly journey to Hammerfell, stopping at each town to gain some experience. There he will inquire further about Fang Lair, since the locals should know a bit more. Wow, I really love this game so far

[mirocu]

So you´re really taking the MQ upon yourself, huh?

Nice pixies, but how do you take them? I tried fraps but it didn´t work.

[Renee]

. Wow, I really love this game so far

It's got a charm to it, does it not? I think I'm going to get back into Arena once my main Skyrim game atm (Mycharonna) has come to a close.

[Vital]

Benethor has been traveling between towns and doing some grinding on his way to hammerfell. Nothing exciting but still enjoyable

I've noticed this game requires a huge amount if grinding, certainly early on. I'm pretty the sure the MQ involves lots if big dungeon crawls and I don't know if these are level scaled so I want to be a decent level before I give them a go.

My thoughts/approach exactly. Of course, I don´t play it any longer to fully enjoy all that grinding and preparation..
