I like it when other people do my work lol

Just because you´re lazy

Sadly, yes

I did however enjoy someone else doing my work when I had a job

Except when it comes to posting, apparently.

This year I have to have my bike checked up to see that it meets safety requirements. I think it´ll do ok, I´ve never had any serious problem with my bikes.

Hello, Impy!

You good?

Hello

Afternoon Impy.

How's your day going?

Alright, I went down the town for an hour and now I'm inside and it's roasting.

Isn't that just the most annoying thing?

Look, Mcbadgere. We've all been there before. We aren't perfect. We make mistakes and we make people angry and sometimes we disappoint ourselves. I've been there. In fact, I'm there right now along with you. So I'm not letting myself stand by and you get all the blame when it was partially my fault to have gone to extent of making a joke of banning members in light of what transpired here. I should've known better that it would make me look like a culprit, especially with all the negative attention I had from everyone during the recent years. That wasn't my intent.

I do accept your apology, and I hope you can accept mine. As I've said before, I don't want harm to come to the forums at all. I like many of the members here. Many of you are talented individuals and good people that do the community good. Hell, I don't hate the Everything Thread. I maybe just feel a bit lost whenever I come in here to try and join when things do a different direction, but that's not even the issue.

I love these forums. I mean, it's pretty obvious now. I've been here for years now. I devoted so much time and effort into writing that I posted my creations here instead of anywhere else. Everyone here is likeable.

So, Mcbadgere, I do hope our personal differences won't cloud each other's judgment to one another in the future. Everyone else here have differences and yet they keep things on the down low. I can learn from that.

The false member had us all on edge. My bitter feelings on mALX absence was amplified when my unfortunate history with the secondary profile was brought up and the fact I had to justify such action with my true intent on getting more feedback for my fiction which everyone else seemed to be getting for theirs. Eh, I feel bad again.

But thanks, McBadgere. I appreciate your time to apologize. And I accept it, as I hope you accept mine.

*Reaches out and grabs forearm much like Crixus and Gannicus*

So, we can put this all behind us and forget about that dark stain that instigated this mess to begin with.

You meeaan... it´s hot inside?

Of course... ...*Drags DE in for manleh hug and pats back*...

Lets break out the mead!!...*Other quaffing bevarages available*...

Quaffing?

Sounds like a duck with a tickly throat

Quick! Make an oil painting of this beautiful moment!!

So I failed my driver's test. I have a second and final one today(I leave for Brazil tomorrow). Any tips?

See, being U.S born is a boon. I can take the test here, transfer my driver's license there and get a Brazilian driver's license. If I don't I'll have to spend two to three months(mandatory) in class, spend $R1500 reais which is equivalent to $600 U.S dollars . . . not counting my responsibilities in the theatrical department of drama and of course, my school which I have to study intensely to graduate in three months. So, its all too much.

Taking the test and passing will save me a good three months. Anyone here had a crazy first day experience in your driver's test? How many times did you guys fail?

I failed once and my father shunned me for it so I didn't fail the second time lol

I can't remember whether it was fail twice and pass the next, or fail three times and pass the next...

The one I passed on was on Friday the 13th of August 1991...Just after my 18th birthday...Having spend close to £400 on lessons in one year... ...

On the second try I was so worked up I gave myself gastritis...It's when the stomach acid is so intense it burns your stomach...I'm still suffering for it to this day... ...

Fun-Badger-Fact for you... ...

You passed, as in not failed, on Friday the 13th?

Hope you pass it next time, DE. Can´t give you any good advice myself other than be calm and focused. Also it´s a good idea to almost exaggerate safety, but not to the point of ridiculousness of course

Seriously? Haha. Dude, my parents keep telling me to try until I pass it. But I'm very impatient when it comes to accomplishing things. Its like "I need this [censored] now. I don't want to waste money and time when I can get my hands on it now."

I hope this second time I won't fail.


Lucky you. How much is £400 in U.S dollars, by the way?

See, when I'm driving I don't get nervous. Not until someone besides me yells at me. That's when I'll speed up GTA style (not really).

Wow. I guess I gotta be careful not to do something that'll have long-term effects . . .

I'm not dad's "perfect son" so he tends to shun me a lot when I fail lol


Why did you fail the first time?

Hmm. Thanks. Some people told me before to exaggerate on looking on the rear-view mirrors, taking it slow, looking everywhere. I'll definetly try this. Hopefully the instructor won't berate me on being too slow in the parking lot , I'd probably do it to be on the safe side. You know, minimize my chances of failing.

One thing you can do is telling the examiner that you are a little nervous. If it´s a good examiner he´ll understand if you make a minor mistake

I´m not telling you to lie, but many people do tend to get nervous when being inspected. Yours truly is one of them

Well, back in them days I think the exchange rate was something ridiculous like £1 = $2.50...

Now it's more like £1 = $1.50 so about $620...

Good. Now I can go back to sleep- not that the difference will be noticeable.

My hope- but not my expectation- would be for a TES that had distinct character classes, where choices made at each step would have an actual effect on gameplay.

Want to be magic-based? Cool. No heavy armor for you! (And could we PLEASE get back to heavy, medium, light, and unarmored- WITH separate pieces for each set? Well- except unarmored- unless one is playing a mechanica of some sort who must quest to find his "missing" parts )

Want to tank? No problem- but your magic supply is severely limited. And spells are harder for you to learn.

I would love to see a system of meaningful restrictions that could be CHOSEN by the player (Daggerfall took a swipe at this- and yes, it was exploitable) with the upside being you could add the loss back into a skill that matters to you.

The biggest thing I would like to see- or the most general way of putting it- would be actual customization built into the game from the start. That would mean HAVING to change your play style if you went with a different class. In Oblivion- and Skyrim is MUCH worse- it is too easy to go down the same familiar track with every character. Yes- a serious RPer can force herself to not "cheat"- but I would love to see real choices having real consequences... (Shrug) My half-septim's worth. I will probably get whatever TES comes out next, because I have all of them- including Daggerfall (the actual CD and box and all), except the travel games. However, I will read reviews and I very well may wait to buy it used and I will have no expectations.

So- that is all of that. And now for the last joke- which kinda got stepped on way back in the thread- but, no worries.

KOB walked into a bar. Liz saw it and ducked.

I think you guys have already said most of what is like in the best TES game. Tbh there's very few new things I'd like them to add to the series, there are many things they should bring back from earlier games.

One thing I don't think many people have mentioned is factions. I'd like to see a few (or even a lot) more factions added to the game and some restrictions on which you could join based on your current allegiances and skills. You can't realistically join two rival factions and you can't rise high in both a 'good' faction and a 'bad' faction. The dark brotherhood may not care if you are a lowly fighters guild member, but they might have a small problem of you're the leader of the FG.

In morrowind the factions you could join included the typical MG, FG and TG alongside the Morag Tong, Imperial Legion, Imperial Cult, The Temple, and the three great houses. There were also three cults for vampires and you could join the one that infected you. In daggerfall the faction list was even more lengthy (less varied but what can you expect?) You can see that there a plenty of choices for a character as to what faction and they join and most importantly (IMO) there is more than one guild for each character type (Except maybe assassin). In morrowind there wasn't just one faction for each general character type, you actually chose your characters factions based on their beliefs, background, values, desires etc. As a traveling apprentice mage in morrowind I could choose the mages guild for some general magical training or maybe I wanted to be more of a healer and would prefer to join either of the temples. Maybe I wished to make it big on House Telvanni? As a traveling Mage in Skyrim it was the college of Winterhold or nothing. Beth tried to go the whole "everyone hates mages cos axes are super über and spell crafting is too spreadsheety" but then why aren't there lots of fighter factions for me to join? There should be countless factions in Skyrim; two to three in each major city alongside the odd one in towns and the wilderness. What about a rangers/hunters guild, or two? One more devoted to Hircine and one in league with Kynareth. Not every stealthy player wants to be an assassin or theif; small and agile people can be nice too In a few minutes at 4 in the morning I've come up with two unique factions with a potential story of conflict that could develop.

See Bethesda? Not hard. Yes, I wouldn't have a hope in hell of putting that into a game but give me a team of 10 different people from your team and I probably could

Oh, and don't think because you've given us more factions that the quality can drop. No way. I don't expect a moving and dramatic 10/10 storyline for each faction I can join, but there has too be a decent, plausible plot that develops as I (slowly) make my way through the questline. I want it to exist from the beginning, but as a lowly apprentice in the MG I don't wanna be sent out by the arch mage to recover the ancient amulet of 'Zagadoth' and save the world from the threat that only appeared two minute ago. No I want to slowly advance through the ranks, having a minimum skill requirement for each rank. If I join the MG with no magical skill whatsoever I should have to do a lot of picking ingredients and collecting books for higher ranked mages. If I join with a high magical skill I should advance through the lower ranks quicker. Once I'm a higher rank I can then starting saving my faction and maybe the city it's in. Saving the world is for the MQ..

Anyway, I have plenty to say on the topic but I'll leave it there. Bit longer than I expected but there you go I love ES and it's a shame to see the games go in direction I don't like, but hey, what can ya do?

Oh, and please excuse my probably terrible spelling and such, it's 4:30 am here, oops.

Wow lol

Wow, so few posts after so many hours! You guys have been lazy!

Everybody left!

-huffs-

Everybody, right?

I don't know where they all went lol

Well, I´m sure we can wreck havoc on our own, as per usual

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXsN6dDEkVM I love these shows and this one was very interesting.

So funny to see the different political opinions of both ages(Also Rachel ).

And then there's the one kid, who's voting for Independents...one day...one day.

Yes. Yes we can


So how's your afternoon?

Good. Played poker against my grandma and won big Then just now I payed a visit to my mechanic who wanted me to construct a thing for him which I will. And just now I played some ´blivion

What did you do?


@Impy - Don´t care about politics because politics don´t care about me..

It's still entertaining.

I mean I don't care about it either I mean I'd vote for Vermin Superior over anyone else to be honest if I was in American and of voting age

And he wears a Wellie on his head.

I suck at poker lol

Poker is really not that hard at all. What can be tricky is if you´re faking that you have cards that you don´t, but we don´t play with those rules. We just play out our cards and the one with the best cards win, simple as that

Evenin' all

Hi

Thorn!

What's up?

Been Oblivioning and thass about it

Heh, after Charcoal Cave earlier I don't think I could handle any more Oblivion today. More than enough close calls already.

Been watching Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

It started well, but I'm starting to lose interest in it. I think they're trying too hard now.

My new oblivion character is still floating around in my head

I've banned all Oblivion characters from entering mine apart from Tarvyn. A couple tried to get a foot in the door, but it's not gonna happen.

Heh, Callidus have banned his creativity

Nope, it's just being focused to avoid distractions emerging.

Otherwise I'd probably have six new characters floating around my head by now

I ate popcorn, an easter egg and a creme egg that came with it.

I feel like I'm gonna explode.

Impy does what I only talk about! He eats popcorn..
