Can't believe the Thieves Guild drops next week. How time flies.

Then it'll be a couple of months and they'll start talking about the Dark Brotherhood. Can not wait to join them and rack up assassination contracts! And there's talk that poison crafting will be coming with them . . . Much excitement.

But for now I'll settle for stealing all the things.

@UrQuan sounds like you play like I do - much more for fun than for DPS (so to speak).

Funny that you mentioned the severs going down. I had just got home from work, and was dinking around in an EU account trying to make a cute nord, was having a ton of trouble, and finally I got it in my head to use the approach "make her look like a Breton" ... which somehow ended up working.

I decided (for once) to skip the intro, bopped out into the world and there is the "Server going down in 1 min". Guess I got her done just under the wirel

Oh very much so. The 2 things don't have to be different: sometimes it's fun to actually get together with some competitive players (I consider myself a decent player, but I'm definitely not a competitive player) and try to go all-out with the best, most efficient run, powering your way through things as quickly as possible. Most of the time that's not how I want to play though. Most of the time I have more fun by screwing around with other people who aren't top competitive players, and just not taking things too seriously.

Only ever done that by accident (LOL); I have a semi-regular "group" I play with, myself, hubby and a couple we know in Colorado. One night just out of happenstance we gathered to run a few Undaunted as we are occasionally wont to do - and by chance the characters we "felt like" playing happened to be a combo of pretty much all DPS-powerhouses; that also (not planned) happened to have skills that very much synergized.

It was the most ridiculously easy plow-through-the-opposition-like-candyfloss night I've ever had. fun. Weird. and overall, I don't think I'd want to do that often.

I'd really like to see the DPS/Timer "wall" removed from most of the dungeons; I think that playing a longer game and lasting out the baddies should be a viable option, and mostly the deck is way stacked against it.

It's funny, I can burn through dungeons with no deaths in minutes if I want to (and after running the dungeons hundreds of times I often do), but some of my favorite runs have been the slowest, most resource burning, and not even completed runs I've ever done. But they were fun.

Happy Friday all!

Been having a little fun of late with the whole "Templar House" thing on the forums, so I thought I'd share my vision of what my main's house will look like come Monday...



My guess is that by Tuesday, most players will be re-rolling to Templars after seeing the true potential of the "Templar House".

I of course realize that ZOS will be nerfing my house in the first incremental patch because bacon is way too OP

WalkingLegacy

Oculus Rift:
Anyone have the chance to try this yet?

Debating on preordering one instead of dropping 800 Washington's on a monitor.

I'd live in that house.
At least until I ate all of it

If that's the kind of Templar House I can look forward to, count me in!

Not that I'd be giving up on my Templars anyway...

Not interested at this point. Don't want you to feel ignored here, tho
As a rule, I never buy any new tech (be it pc, car or whatever) until it's proven in actual use, has the bugs worked out and is something I feel I need.

Thanks for the reply. That is exactly how I feel. Just curious if anyone may have had the chance to try one out. They're suppose to be touring around with a demo.

Would hate to drop 800 on a monitor though and the Rift works and functions with better specs as a monitor you wear for 200 less.

While getting into the criminal spirit of the upcoming expansion, I've finished leveling my other profession. Now this Argonian sneak-thief is both a chef and an alchemist. Hopefully she won't mix up the two and produce plates of poison cakes or vials of poultry essence.

Not sure what poultry essence would be but I don't think I want any
The poison cakes tho, she should be perfecting for DB. They've hinted that Snakeblood will actually be useful...

Chicken farts. It's chicken farts. And no, you don't want any.

Guess what? Chicken butt fart!

I'll show myself out now.

Poultry essence.... sounds like an overpriced way to say "broth"

So.... I was sucked into Fallout 4 for the longest time. Then a bit ago, the couple my hubby and I team up with in ESO insisted on an afternoon/evening of undaunted runs, and I got hooked back into Tamriel.

So here is the latest of Goblin Girl (Broken Branch Toothmaul) in action. Last night she met a town of statutes and some very strange bears.





Then I went back to play around with one of the few Imperials I've rolled up (long story short - my husband rolled up an Imperial named Quintus Solaris and I decided he needed a sister).

So here is Hexia Solaris, telling herself to calm down first, and THEN kill the bandits.

WldKarde

Haha, my Imperial main approves!

Plus as a Templar she can't wait to move into her new house tomorrow!

Yah right, oh course that's what a stamplar is gonna do

In my time.. Ive seen bears do things even a bear wouldn't do!

newtinmpls

Thanks for the kind words, @wldkarde

And now apparently I can get my hot little hands on Caldwell's hat. I have wanted that thing for a loooong time.

'Course I have no idea who would actually want to wear it.

Guess I need to roll up another character.....

Xendyn

I present to you, Xen'Jirr Kaharn, my first Master Thief

Xendyn

I'm so proud of him.
Also, it's not easy to get a screenshot using a memento now, since you can't put them on quickslot anymore

Excellent! I'm not even close to it yet myself... Of course, it was a bit of a shock Monday night to log on and group up with some guildies for a dungeon only to see that one of them already had that title! Apparently she was busy on launch day!

Well tbh, if I'd just done that I could have had it in a couple hours, too. It doesn't require the main quest to be completed, just the treasures from Kari's Hit List. I wanted him to be a full thief though and complete the quest line first, so that's what I did.

newtinmpls

Congrats, @Xendyn !

I haven't even finished Wrothgar, much less touched much of the thieving stuff.

newtinmpls

Okay... ran into Vicious Death set in IC today.

Wow.

So gankers weren't powerful enough........#@$

Rats...

You can from your inventory menu, click the quickslots tab and there will be all mementos ...

Well dang, you're right! There's a whole tab for them!
