I'm gonna make an rp, hopefully. It's gonna be based in Morrowind from the elder scrolls series. Specifically in Solstheim, which is basically a smaller Skyrim. Nords, forest, ice, snow, stuff! If we can get through that...I'll have to think of more. So we'll stick to the fairly large island. Available races will be Imperials, Dark Elf, High Elf, Wood Elf, Orc, Argonian, Khajitt, Lupins (sin made the name. Bunny people), and Daedra (if you impress me). I'm removing the Bretons, Nords, and Redguards simply because they're friggin Imperials with a different bonus and skin color. The reason I don't lump the elves together is because they each are very different from each other that isn't just their damned climate. Unless you really want to play something, they don't exist on a racial sense. Culture-wise they exist. (Like we have in real life. Other people aren't different races they're different cultures and skin tones). There are various Factions you can be a part of, even at the start of the rp. Imperial Legion, basically the military of the Imperials. Fighters Guild, your classic guild that sends you out to solve problems that require a hammer. Mages Guild, a group of the magically inclined that provides various magical services. Thieves guild, you steal stuff. East Empire Company, basically a corporation of business. Various Cults, there's a cult for every god and Daedra Lord I can't remember them all. Basic plot! You all, for whatever reason you decide, have come to Solstheim! Fame, glory, riches, killin, your reason is your own. But it's newly discovered, unsettled by civilization, and ripe for fun. Odd things start to happen soon after you arrive, whether it happens naturally or because of your actions you don't know. Will it affect you? Another mystery! You'll have to find out as the story unfolds. I'll be posting up arms and armors later on. Spells, you can make your own but you will have to have them approved by me. You won't start out with awesome gear either. For heavy you'll have steel at most. Medium you can wear up to Bonemold. Light can be up to Chitin. (these are various grades of material that you can start with). For weaponry, steel is the highest you can start with. For skills...pick 10 of the many Morrowind has to offer. They'll each start at 50, which is average wielder. Of those 10, pick 2 that you specialize in, they'll start at 75. Highest your skills go to is 100. I'll increase your skills levels when I feel they've been used enough to warrant an increase. I'll post a link to the full list of skills and what they do so you lot can pick and choose what you think your character would be best with. I'll do my best to make each one actually useful. If you feel they're necessary I'll also include the Birthsigns you get to pick at the start of the game. If no one wants to include them it's fine by me. Attributes you start with a base of 30. You can specialize in 2 stats which will make them 45. They have a max of 100 just like skills.

where on the timeline does it fit i thought daedra couldn't exist outside of oblivion without special magics why are there bunny people when that's not a race that exists in the elder scrolls why didn't you just do an original setting with a similar progression/stat system instead of butchering this one I haven't played through the Dragonborn DLC on Skyrim yet but I'm pretty sure Solstheim isn't deserted and that it has a lot of significance in the lore or something, so why are we just randomly popping up there rather than, say, in the places within the various provinces that actually have people are you going to abandon this one if there aren't enough people posting in it like you do all your others? because if you are you should know that we probably only have like 3 people who are still going to be here you should reveal more of the plot so that if it's something stupid we're not all wasting our time why is this based on morrowind and not skyrim honestly i'm not sold on it all at the moment |

Daedra pretty much come and go as they please. Yes you can summon them, but sometimes they don't need to be summoned. Exmaple, Dagoth Ur in Oblivion towards the end, no one summoned him that I'm aware of. He also sends two Daedra after you in Skyrim and if you kill them you get his dagger. Bunny people cuz Sin asked so why the hell not. This Solstheim was before Morrowind's volcano blew up, so way before Skyrim. Basically before Raven Rock was settled, you lot get to help it along if you want. The plot is mysterious because it's based on the Bloodmoon expansion of Morrowind, which is all mysterious and shit so shut up. I only abandon my rp's cuz half the damn people up and vanish after a couple of days and you bums tie yourselves so close together you refuse to progress. (I've only made like 3 rp's). I'm basing it in Morrowind because if you can complete Solstheim we'll move to the main Morrowind continent. |

if daedra can all come and go as they please, not just the super powerful godly ones or the ones who are summoned, why did they need oblivion gates also wouldn't a daedra appearing anywhere at all instantly bring down as much wrath as the various groups, like the Vigilants of Stendarr or whoever else slays demons in Tamriel, could muster you should be less mysterious so people have a reason to care about your story people will probably up and vanish in this one too you know, especially since Christmas and New Year are literally right around the corner why do we have to go to Morrowind it's full of filthy gray skins why didn't you just do an original setting with a similar progression/stat system instead of butchering this one it still doesn't sound like it fits with the lore honestly i'm still not sold on it |

Oblivion plot purposes. Why was the dragonborn a thing in Skyrim? Plot purposes since you yourself said anyone could learn and use the shouts. I don't think the Daedra who want to actively live in...Nirn I believe the world is called? Would go out and do dastardly things that would draw attention to themselves. Mystery is fun since I normally just bash you all upside the head with what I'm going to do. Because I said we're in Morrowind you tardling. I didn't feel like it. It fits the lore just fine, the only thing changed are the redundant races. |

anyone can learn and use the shouts with years of training and study, the dragonborn is significant because in a game about learning the dragon language, only the Dragonborn can instinctively learn what normally takes years in seconds. daedra aren't seen as a "race" or a "people," they're seen as demons and monsters, or in the case of the most powerful ones, dark gods. And they can't normally cross worlds all willy nilly you can be mysterious without withholding 100% of plot relevant information. again, it'd be better if people could actually decide whether they want to put time and effort into this rather than just assuming it won't turn out dumb later morrowind is dumb i'm still not convinced |

Then bugger off it's a mysterious fucking plot and if I explain it that will take away any amount of mystery the damn plot has. It's called...BUILD UP. You will discover the plot as the rp friggin progresses. Do you ask a book to tell you everything in the first chapter or do you read to find out what comes next? The daedra thing is in case someone wants to be a friggin demon. It's technically a race since there's a vast population of them like Imperials and the other races. Quit NITPICKING. I've been bugging you for months to make a fucking rp and you have made every excuse under the fucking sun. So either shut up and play or go make your fucking own. |

A list of Armor, it's a few links. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Base_Armor http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Bloodmoon:Base_Armor A list of weaponry http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Base_Weapons http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Bloodmoon:Base_Weapons All the skills available. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Skills All the spells available. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Spells The attributes http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Attributes Because I am a bit lazy and also that would be a fuckton of copy/pasting. I honestly have no problem with people making up their own shit just run it by me first please. (Yes I'm in a bad mood) |

a book typically has a description either on the back or in the front cover that gives a short synopsis while still maintaining mystery and whatever. you should do one of those no i'm gonna nitpick some more why would you want to give people a reason to be demons in the first place considering that most monsters under the daedra category are typically higher leveled creatures and thus would be, at the start of the rp, overpowered and what about aedra, why aren't they a race if daedra are a race. obviously because you think it'd be stupid, but why is one less stupid than the other when they're both overpowered and not actually playable races if you're in such a bad mood when people ask basic questions maybe you shouldn't put yourself in a position where you have to answer questions or maybe you should properly explain things and give out more information so that they don't have to ask questions and if you openly admit to being lazy maybe you shouldn't put yourself in a position like leading an rp that requires conscious effort on your part |

My synopsis was, shit happens and you don't know why but you're on a big friggin island doing stuff. Like helping settlers, helping the imperial fort, adventuring like good little adventurers. I actually forgot about aedra, also upon looking it up it's the 9 divines the people worship. Basically the gods, and thus have no legions of beings under their control like the daedric lords. Also upon looking at that wiki there are a lot more people than any of the games show, they just pop up in the various books. I give people the option because not all demons are of equal strength. Even without cheating I've been able to butcher every daedra I've come across so they really aren't overpowered, they just have really good stuff on em. My laziness is selective. The last time I copied and pasted that much info the rp that had interest never even left the conception area. Knowing you you'd find something to question and nitpick about.

Is this RP friendly for those who have never had any experience with the Elder Scrolls? |

was looking through the wiki shit you posted and morrowind's a bunch of fuckery skyrims' skill progression and other shit is way more streamlined and not as hard to sort through also you should use this wiki instead it doesn't look near as shitty http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki if you're not using dice as well, you'd be better off not using stats at all. skill levels, like One Handed and Destruction and shit, might be useful for comparison but there's no reason for all the other shit |

Yes it's friendly towards people who have never touched the game. The attributes original purpose was how far you could train your skills. Whether natural growth or you paid someone to train you. You couldn't go further than the corresponding attribute for that skill so you were forced to rest and level as needed. Skyrim cut out a fuckton of content for easy mode players who didn't want to go through an actual rpg game. D&D did the same shit and it pissed off a lot of the old hardcore players. I'm keeping Morrowinds system because I like it and I simplified it for others by saying "Pick 10. Specialize in 2." |

there's a difference between using stats and such to help sort out competitive aspects, create tension and unpredictability, and all that kind of thing, and just having stats for the sake of being able to say you have a complex stat system saying it's not a real RPG cause it uses a streamlined system is like telling someone they're not a real farmer because they use a tractor instead of digging in the dirt with their bare hands all this other shit is superfluous and dumb |
