#my first elder scrolls character

[azures-grace]

Today, I draw Lina

#Lina woodrow #elder scrolls #tes oblivion #hok #sheogorath hero of kvatch #hair hair hair hair hair #I'm trying out new drawing stuff #i freaking love her hair #struggling with the face tho #wip #Azure arted #so tempted to do a lore dump for her #she is my baby #my first elder scrolls character #and since I came back years later i decided to traumatize her

[theribbajack]

Rediscovered and decided to quickly clean up an old sketch of my first Hero of Kvatch, Mu'jirra! She is 6'1 and the toughest boxer in the Imperial Arena. Sporting an inferiority complex and a rigid sense of honor, finding the Emperor's heir leads to problems larger than she had ever imaged, and this time she can't punch her way out.

I drew fanart of @greennightingale 's Thalmor OC, Dariel (please correct me if I got that wrong ;w;)

Featuring goofy ahh warm up sketches

all i want is to relive the first time i played skyrim—when i knew nothing, the world was infinite, possibilities were endless, and the graphics and mechanics were so new and impressive.

now i want nothing more than to perfect skyrim, to make it what i thought it was when my older brother handed me his controller for the first time.

longing for something i cannot have because i cannot do it myself

#skyrim #elder scrolls v #tes v skyrim #my first character was a khajiit #but the first time i played #my brother had just cured his vampirism by joining the companions #the depth i thought there was 🤣

So I get it's prolly the first tile you'd get and you don't get the Champion of Cyrodiil title until the very end of the main quest, but I think it's hilarious that everyone collectively decided to name the hero of Oblivion the "Hero of Kvatch" given you can easily not...get that title by just leaving with Martin the moment you reach the chapel.

Cause like I definitely think the title is earned because you go out of your way to evict all the Daedra from the count's castle and all of Kvatch to get it but your main goal is to get Martin to safety and clearly him being the bastard son of the Emperor is known to the Mythic Dawn at that point. So you'd think getting him to the Blades would be your main priority instead of putzing around a dead city longer than you need to lol

#elder scrolls #oblivion #i'm like 70% done with the first batch of character bios that i said i was gonna do #and since i started with my Oblivion OCs I've been thinking A LOT about the game lol #especially since i had to install it to get a good look at clothes/armor #going from that to Skyrim where you're forced to interact with every faction quest is such a drag #or you needing to be dragonborn to do the civil war

kaleen, do you not see my tusks

Continuing my forever-battles against eso's mmorpg lack of rpg, i just did the betnikh main quest as an orc. To the surprise of no one, no one on this goddamn orc island knows you're an orc.

Your orc is constantly getting orcsplained at by other orcs about how orcs behave, ranted at by humans complaining about orcs (not you, because the game doesn't see you as an orc), and when it comes time for your orc to prevent a future of continued human-perpetuated anti-orc crimes, your human pirate captain and her human girlsquad throw out their single remaining braincell to declare that you, an orc, have betrayed them and their human allies. They are surprised your orc said no to orc death-slavery.

Expecting any rpg in this mmorpg is folly, but somehow eso continues to disappoint.

#i don't remember why i thought crafty lerisa had any sense or was an interesting character #i guess i totally forgot her 'how dare you not drink the koolaide' response #for some reason my brain remembered her siding with kaleen as like... not blaming your moral decision but prefering kaleen's plan #i should have known #god kaleen and lerisa are THE WORST #because they promise half intersting characters and then just catch the stupid virus #nicolene was always awful so she's fine to continue being so #god i'm so tired #eso #elder scrolls #elder scrolls online #teso #the elder scrolls online #orsimer #betnikh #orcs #yes this is the first time i've done this questline as an orc #god the game is just...... so awful. doesn't take into any account of player customization holy shit #and this shit has been around since the beginning #it's bad writing

Idk who I’m making this post for, feel like i just wanna get my thoughts down. If anyone wants to comment they’re welcome to

Just played Oblivion for the first time ever, put almost 5 straight hours in….

Would it be weird to say it managed to make me feel homesick for Skyrim?

Idk man it’s not bad and maybe once I get a better grip on the mechanics it’ll be better but not only am I immensely lost with how the personality/speech skills work as well as generally confused by almost everything, but Oblivion’s map layout just feels so….lonely. Barren and lonely. It made me sad lmfao I saw Skyrim on the map and was like omg home :,(

I don’t hate it though! I just think I have to get used to it, though I can’t stand having to figure out the 4 or 5 inventory/journal tabs, I’m so so so confused by them

I do appreciate the automatic dual wield with weapons and magic, wish they kept they in Skyrim. Felt the same way about that particular mechanic when I saw original Bioshock used it after already playing Bio Infinite first

I am however having a BLAST with the battle music cut-out and the way characters absolutely either rag doll or launch when you kill them and the infamous zoom-in on faces <3

I think, everything else aside, my main frustration is how lackluster quests are compared to skyrim. It just doesn’t have the same urgency, and the way they’re organized in the tab feels like they’re hidden away sort of? Idk something about Oblivion just isn’t encouraging me to go and explore or talk to people or do quests the way Skyrim does

I am aware that these are practically two completely different games despite sharing developers and lore/storylines but when it’s a game from a specific series usually you expect that they’ll have at least a similar vibe. Oblivion struck me the same way Morrowind did, which is that it’s lacking in the same excitement I feel playing Skyrim

But again, I understand why! There were YEARS between these games and a lot has changed and they’ve gotten better at art style, mechanics, etc which therefore will produce different games. I really really really wanna enjoy Oblivion (I’d also like to enjoy Morrowind but god that felt almost tedious) so if anyone sees this and has advice for how best to enjoy Oblivion (minus mods! Wanna finish it normally first) I would greatly appreciate it

#i want to love oblivion and I think I can I just get so caught up in differences #my problem is I play either the newest/most popular game in a series first (not on purpose! just ends up that way) #and then I see the other games and I’m like ooooo lemme see #but I end up loving the new game mechanics so much that it RUINS the first games #like when I mentioned the Bioshock series #i LOVE Bio Infinite it was my favorite game till I hit skyrim #I’m aware of the problems of Bio Inf but I loved the art style and mechanics and music and most characters #but anyway I played it first and OFTEN and then I was like yknow I need to try the original #and it just. was not clicking #i was so frustrated by its gameplay mechanics and I was just completely lost with the storyline :( #after 9 hours I gave up on it #gave up on Morrowind after 3 or 4 almost exclusively because I tried to play it like Skyrim and #couldn’t get past being weighed down by ARROWS #also didn’t like how the map was set up #I’m. not good at trying new things with the understanding that it won’t be like what I’m used to #hopefully I’ll get a fuckin grip someday lmfao #oblivion #skyrim #the elder scrolls #tes iv: oblivion #tes v skyrim

This is Mag.

Although born into a stronghold, her father isn't the chief. Her mother, one of the chief's many wives, had an affair with a man of vampire royalty. As such, her vampiric half blocks her from inheriting the gifts Malacath blessed her stronghold with (superhuman warrior skills). However, her vampiric royal blood allows her to harness the advanced magical abilities she inherited from her father.

When Mag was born, and her nature laid bare for all to see even as a newborn baby, she and her mother were exiled from the stronghold. Mag's mother raised her as a nomad, too scared to seek shelter from her vampire lover.

Mag wants nothing more than to make her mother proud. She's aware of her half blood status and is ambivalent about it. While she wishes to be a powerful and skilled warrior so she can protect her mother with honor, she finds comfort in the magic that comes so easily to her. She practices and trains herself in its use the best way she can on her own.

Her mother loves her completely and is not repulsed by her vampiric nature, even when Mag needs to feed (she prefers to feed on the animals she hunts but it's like forcing a cat to be vegan; she doesn't get everything she needs from animal blood). Her mother helps her find suitable people to feed from (altmer blood is the most powerful and nutritious blood for her)(spoiler, it's because her father is an altmer).

What Mag's mother is unaware of is that the vampire she had an affair with had genuine feelings for her and has no idea why she fled. He searches for her but is unable to find her.

Eventually, when Mag is a young adult (early 20s) she journeys to find her abandoned father. Her mother had nothing but kind things to say about him and how he treated her when she was growing up and she finally convinced her to tell her where she met him.

It's a very heart wrenching journey and meeting and maybe I'll spare some time to write it in the coming months 🤍

bonus child and teen Mag, a volatile gremlin:

just pretend the chibi mag has pointed ears lolol

#elder scrolls #skyrim era #she's not the dragonborn #mayhaps she'll meet the dragonborn and they'll be gay lovers #but that would happen after finding her father #obligatory: she had snow white hair and glowing red eyes #I'm so in love with my half blood characters; first Danny then Rin and now my pride and joy Mag #oc #orc #half orc #half vampire

I'm sure someone has posted something along the lines of this before, but if you stand inside of someone's body or try to distract them while they're opening a chest, or you see someone near an unlocked chest with their merchant out and you take their stuff, you are trash.

Don't be that guy. 👈👈😎

#feykrorovaan #elder scrolls #elder scrolls online #eso #TES #it's one thing if you see the person leave the area where the chest is #it's another when you're actively trying to be a parasite #I was opening a chest and all of a sudden someone started spamming shards on me and when I finished unlocking they were inside of my char #chests are first come first serve now get out of my character's personal space you heathen
