the point of Eidetic Memory
Theosis
✭✭✭✭
What is the point of it? Does it get me an ultimate achievement? Can I learn to break bricks with the power of my mind after reading all these books? Will I get some cool title or something? Why am I bothering to read all these books?
This is were my signature would be if I was allowed one.

✭✭✭✭✭The point is those who want to reread something can go back and do so.

✭You can just ignore books, like IRL, you know. I use Eidetic Memory, because I don't always have time to read books during the quest or I just don't want to read them right now, so it allows me to read them later. Again, if you are not interesting in reading at all, just pick another option. Give Valaste to Sheogorath instead and have your Folium Discognitum, which give you 2 skill points. Poor Valaste, though...EU PC: @logarifmik | Languages: Русский, English

@logarifmik just an FYI you get Edetic Memory regardless of choice. The Choice is basically save an NPC which doesn't have any impact on future game story (yet) or get 2 SP free. Which is kind of why it was a terrible choice unless you're a roleplayer.logarifmik wrote: »You can just ignore books, like IRL, you know.

Didn't know about that. Thank you, comrades! All the time I've saved Valaste from the torture of the Mad God, that's why I was wrong about other choice aftermath. I hope, that in future Valaste will play her role again. And I'm a roleplayer, yes.SydneyGrey wrote: »You get the memory thing even if you sacrifice Valaste.

EttinTheBreton✭✭✭I like Eidetic Memory because it tracks how close you are to finding everything readable. Yay for completionists!
Also, I have this dream of one day putting down my destruction staff, relaxing at the Rosy Lion inn, and reading through some lore. Will that day come? I'm not yet sure!Best,

You are also condemning her to the sad life she had before Uncle Sheo sped up the crazy that was already in her.Runs| Orc Nightblade • Chim-el Adabal| Dunmer Templar • M'air the Honest| Khajiit Templar

It's magic, you know the books but you never actually read them. Just touching them puts them in your memory without actually reading them ever. Would be a great ability to have at finals, just go to the books in your mind palace and pass!
It's there because you can't actually pick up books, but it lets you make them for your home, if you want if you are into that.“Whatever.”

✭✭✭✭✭If a game does not have a good story, then it will most likely suck. Sure, Chess does not have a story, but I don't play Chess.
The Lore Books are the story behind the game. Each Delve has a story, each town has more than one story, the Zone Quests have a story. Where are these stories? Well, a small part is in the dialogs, the rest is in the books.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
