I enjoy my Bruma house. Right next to Olav's, a good place to start the day off right. :beermug: |

Why do that? Gots every DLC in the deluxe edition. I get bombarded with journal entries when I start up a new character, lol. |

I have an unopened box of BG cards - I never got around to seeing if they were worth anything. I can't stand ebay.... |

Lothran raided Rielle today and surprisingly he found two items to his Winter collection that he didn't already have; a daedric dagger and a scroll. Snazzy :) |

The other day, I loaded up my long-time "chaotic" Oblivion character, Phoebe Wicketts, and explored a couple of dungeons in Shivering Isles (Sorry, Sere!*) that she hadn't explored before, including "Ghosts of Vitharn," a quest I'd never done before. I was inspired to bring Phoebe into Skyrim (bridging the 200 year gap by the simple expedient of starting her as a vampire.) *I absolutely love the Shivering Isles, not for the quests, which I could absolutely do without, but for the characters. Some of the best character writing in all of the Elder Scrolls went into Shivering Isles. Haskill, Sickly Bernice, Big Head, Cutter, Shelden, Bolwing, Relmyna... :) Edited by glargg, Feb 24 2017, 12:56 AM.

I - thought they were all overdone and just plain icky. Sorry glargg.... so not my cuppa - none of it was or ever will be. I like KotN more. But truthfully, I don't care about any of the NPCs in any game - I don't talk to them except if forced (like for questgivers), I don't want them bothering me, they don't add anything I want or need. As long as I have an instant merchant sort of thing, that's all I need. I'm as much a hermit playing games as I am IRL. Probably more of one actually.... My install now doesn't have any of the DLCs added. Truthfully, the two mmos I played were better games for me for the reason that the worlds seemed "full" because of other players' toons - that I could totally avoid interacting with for the most part. And that's also why I left them - because blizzard and trion started seriously pushing "social interaction" as if the games were a huge facebook setup.... Nope. Not going there. |

Your choice. I would never have become a fan of the Elder Scrolls had it not been for the characters and the setting, since the storytelling is so terrible. I think that Oblivion is the best of the Elder Scrolls games as far as character-development, and Shivering Isles is the best of the best in that regard. Are the characters likeable? Not always. But they are interesting and well-defined. Skyrim characters? Delphine? Serana? Ulfric? :meh: |

Yeah, well, I have to agree as to Skyrim - but I don't have any interest in SI characters period. As I said, I don't want to "interact" with a game in that way anyway. I guess you must be a fan of social media? |

No, which is probably why I don't understand the question. :) |

Well, you quoted my "nope not going there" which was specific to my statement about blizzard and trion promoting "games as facebook" and stated after the quote - "your choice" as though yours was the opposite.... |

Oh, sorry. I thought your "Not going there" referred back to SI. I took the second part of your post as elaboration, rather than a change of subject. :) No, I have a Twitter account, but use it mainly to follow news sources. And I don't do Facebook or any other social media at all. Edited by glargg, Feb 25 2017, 12:21 AM.

Ah. Okay, we were just a little confuzzled there! I don't have an account anywhere on anything "social media".... This place is as social as I ever get. |

I do a few other internet forums, mostly lurking. Several music/synthesizer/composer related forums. Twitter is mostly just local news/traffic/weather sources, and a few science related people. I don't post on there, but occasionally retweet things that deserve notice. I do a lot of online reading: NY Times, Washington Post, and the Hartford Courant (my local paper.) No interest in Facebook. |

I read the money section of USA Today (which arrives by mail as we don't have anything approaching a decent local newspaper). That's it. I have no interest at all in news. I don't want to hear it, see it, read it. Unfortunately, husband is a news junkie and from early morning the Weather Channel is on until 4 pm, when he watches three local news channels - for the next 6 hours. *sigh* |

Ick... I have a Facebook account ( to keep in touch with my son and friends in FL) a Twitter account ( which only has weather/ road condition alerts .. from when we were OTR) and various forum's that I both lurk at and post.. ie I have not posted on the "Trucker's Forum" in about 2 yr's, but I DO use the PM's/mail to keep up with friends.. and read some of the threads. I have an account with my High School's Alumni assoc.. <I have yet to post at all> and a couple "private" forum's.. one is from extended family the other from a place a used to work. Michael and I don't "socialize" .. Lord know's I talk enough at work.. see enough people and deal with enough crowds.. |

Another one and a half hour session coming up tonight. Think I'm gonna take Lothran to Plundered Mine again to see if any new goblins have moved in without permission. If so, eviction time! :bat: |

I can't stand facebook, but I use Twitter for news updates, too. Much easier for me to check out my feed, than sit down and watch the news or read the dying papers. I also use redditl, but that's mainly for the lol's and cute cat pictures. ------------------------------------- Plundered Mine....sounds familiar. Think I may have been to that one before! |
