Just repeated the Frostflow Lighthouse quest once again. It never fails to induce a rage against the Falmer in me, no matter how often I play this quest.

Never fails to amaze, and the screenshots don't do it justice.

I still rank the feel and atmosphere of Blackreach higher than Soul Cairn

I certainly wouldn't describe the Soul Cairn as "amazing"... or at least not in the same sense as Blackreach or the Forgotten Vale. It's a very dark, brooding, and kinda scary place tbh. M'aiq said being Soul Trapped wasn't very pleasant, and that we should think about that once in a while - now I understand why. :?

Wonder if those DG special arrows will work in Blackreach; believe some other Outdoor effects work in there, too.

For me, other vistas and vast areas such as the Forgotten Vale are my personal faves; still find myself looking at sunsets and taking screenshots.

And Frostflow Lighthouse is a fave quest here, too. One of the best written for the game, IMO.

Just started a fresh character last week and have already had some WHAT?? moments. LIke poor Amren dying to a master vampire, i found the ash pile Image IPB.

Then there was Delphine who insisted i hurry back to Riverwood as time was short...I stopped off at Whiterun to see if Lucia was ok with her pet fox and decided to have a beer at the bannered mare.

So..im sitting at the bar and then i hear this voice saying, " I told you id meet you back at Riverwood". I turn round and there is Delphine coming out of a room with one of the Battle-Born clan..Bloody hussy had the cheek to hurry me on and she stops off for a quicky with that dolt.

Another rather gorgeous place is the Temple of Xrib in Sightless Pit - it's like a mini-Blackreach. The Dwemer stumbled upon some really breathtaking underground caverns in their time.

300+ hours in I only discovered this quest about two days ago.

I discovered the lighthouse ages ago of course, but stupidly I broke into the shed and not the lighthouse itself the first time round

:lol: :P

Damn.

Dawnguard added even nastier Chaurus.
I hope Dragonborn does not add even worse.

Remember the giant Chaurus corpses the size of houses?
**** man. I can hardly stand to fight the flying ones, let alone HUGE ASS ones.

The really amazing thing about Blackreach is that I'm still finding new things. In that shot I posted, off in the distance I saw what I thought were Falmer- they were actually frost trolls. In one building, I could hear a woman's voice (which freaked me out majorly) and then saw the subtitle say it was Katria. I thought she must be in Blackreach, but actually the building I was in was a bottom portion of an entirely different Dwemer ruin that was attached to Blackreach. I guess the Dwemer used Blackreach kind of like an underground connector between a few cities?

We came upon this Dwarven Centurion Master and even though he was marked red, he never attacked.  It was probably a glitch, but the romantic in me thought that despite his programming to attack invaders, he saw that Vilkas was wearing a Dwemer helmet and he was just lonely.  lol

I think so.  There isn't much written in the game about the function of Blackreach, other than  the obvious:  that the "most important" of Skyrim's Dwemer colonies decend to "the blackest kingdom reaches", and that it was where the Falmer escaped from the Nords in the 1st era, and where the Dwemer took them in and blinded them, and where the War of the Crag took place.

Personally though,  Blackreach just feels to me like there was more meant to be in it - like it's the remains of some cut content that didn't make it into the game for some reason.  Why are there  Human slaves (and Mer slaves.  I saw an Orc falmer slave  there)  in the silent city?  How did they get down there?  They couldn't all have  successfully  traversed Afthand, Mzencheleft or   Raldbthar, then used  Septimus' attunement sphere to open the Blackreach  enterences. 

Why is there a dragon trapped down there?  And is there any lore whatsoever that suggests that the Dwemer ever fought dragons?  They Obviously did, since they managed to trap one in a very dwemer-looking orb contraption thing.    Why isn't there more information on that?   You would *think* that some sort of journal or book  would exist to at least vaguely explain such a thing. since it seems a wee bit more important than, for example,  the nature of Crimson Nirnroot, of which we're given reams and reams of info plus a whole questline to complete.  Why is there a  lone Giant in Blackreach?  Giants aren't subterranian creatures, are they?

I love Blackreach but I agree that its spread to thin.

It still is kind of scary thinking that when other races where living in small little villages the Dwemer were making the laws of reality their ****.

Hopefully we get some more lore from the next DLC.

The Dwemer would've existed during the time of the Dragon War - I'd guess they just remained in their underground kingdoms and let the surfacers worry about the dragons though. I do wonder how Vulthuryol came to inhabit Blackreach, though - it could be that the Dwemer managed to capture him, or perhaps even convinced him to come down there and stay somehow. The Dwemer were crafty folk indeed, so it's hard telling.

The Nords of that time were nothing to sneeze at. The Atmorans came with dragons, and their thu'um was incredibly powerful- they were making reality their **** too. They could shout elven villages out of existence. Vivec was so enraged about a female thu'um master who could shape the course of time, that he mouth-raped her to death. It took the Dwemer and the Tribunal banding together to finally stop them. Modern day Nords are sad shadows of their ancestors.

The Dwemer were no pansies, either. I get the feeling they always had slaves, and their treatment of the snow elves was par for the course. There's a blade trap set in a kind of ampitheater thing, which looks to me like an execution plaza.  You can see it in the foreground of that shot I posted at the top of the page.

Speaking of crazy dwemer places, has anyone done Kagrenzel? I stumbled upon it last night.. I was seriously horrified. If you haven't found it yet its wayy east on the map but south of the Orc Stronghold. It's fairly short but awesome at the same time. Also I never really explored Blackreach that much but everyone says its AMAZING so i guess I should really go explore it here soon..

Jesus, the Bethesda forums are just downright depressing to look at right now. So many Eeyores sighing out their disappointment with anything and everything - it's less of a forum to discuss Bethesda games and more like a psyche ward full of moping, angsty teenagers.

Some fanbase they are - hell, at least Bioware fans are entertaining to watch.

Bethesda fans are made up of people who will argue to DEATH over Morrowind vs Oblivion vs Skyrim.
Lore vs Fun vs Changes vs Whatever.

I mean its people who sit in their citadels of self righteousness who are never pleased until another game comes out that is. Then they **** about it compared to the game they were hating a few years ago.

Bethesda could make a DLC which is AMAZING and people will **** about something so tiny RUINING their game. I mean people are ENRAGED that Dragonborn is set on a new landmass.
Because Todd Howard said they wont have stuff like that. HE LIED.

I really hate the Bethesda Forums.

I thought it had settled down some this week. But yes, it's typically full of whiners.

Man the next DLC could be free coming out for every console at the same time, be 100 hours long and give out free foot massages.

Then people would scream that it sold out X console, or its massages did not come in multiple settings.

My poor Archmage.
He really feels awful about using his magic like this.

I started playing him again and kind of realized that he did nothing to help Nord's view on magic.
Especially when an Altmer mage sided against the Stormcloaks....especially after he vaporized Ulfric with Lightning Storm.

Still though he took down Alduin so that much get him some credit.
If you do play as a mage get the Balanced Magic mod since it makes using destruction far more viable.

Is that the one with the floating orbs? That was pretty cool. 

The effect was so dramatic, I thought it must be some kind of starting place for a future DLC.

Does anyone else kind of find it amusing how many times you save Skyrim from doom over and over again?

Left and right monsters and bandits get killed by the PC.
As soon as Skyrim is in any type of trouble off the PC goes to fix it.

I wonder how they will hook us into Dragonborn now.

Yeah, I prefer being the victim of circumstance rather than actively being a meddling busybody. Which is funny because I'm a meddling busybody. Morrowind did this great, Tribunal sent assassins to annoy you and fallout 3 too, until you found Mister Neeson again

With New Vegas I'm like: wait, why should I put myself through all sorts of hazardous situations, to find the people that pretty much killed me, and think I'm dead, again?

I'm using "OMG they killed Lydia" as my motivation in Skyrim
