Yeah, I've just recently sent them an e-mail. They probably won't listen, but I figure if a lot of people say a little, maybe something will get done.AstylahAthrys said:Emily Pritchard said:I write fanfiction too, and whatever else they decide to do in the games, that particular part of the book will never make it into my personal canon.AstylahAthrys said:I know! I think they were just trying to make the fans angry. Apparently the author just played Oblivion, so maybe he didn't really see the importance TES3 had just from reading the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Page's wiki. Hell, I just write fanfiction and I did more research.Emily Pritchard said:I don't know if the folks at BethSoft had a collective aneurysm or what. But the thing that happened in that book that I will not speak of ruins the entire point of playing through Morrowind at all. It literally made me feel like I'd wasted all that time saving itAstylahAthrys said:This. The book was supposed to set up some of the next game, but, honestly, some of the stuff that happened in that book was just awful. Technically, Morrowind was even smaller than Oblivion, but the varied landscapes at least helped Morrowind in that area.Emily Pritchard said:1. Completely forget anything that happened in the book.
2. Fix the combat, add more to the world (Christ Oblivion was SMALL), and HIRE MORE VOICE ACTORS. Maybe get the Bosmer chick and the gravelly Dunmer guy back.
3. Did I mention that it should COMPLETELY FORGET anything that happened in the book?
I hate The Infernal City. D:
And I really hope they disregard anything that was put into the book. It was just awful.
if they were just going to blow it up.
And blowing up Morrowind really pissed me off. I don't normally get angry when things get destroyed in games either. I put so many hours into saving that place that it just feels like a waste of time now.
...are you FUCKING kidding me? Keyes never played Morrowind? /RAGE
My Nerevarine character refused to be written for days after I read that. She just wouldn't come out and play.My Champion of Cyrodiil is a typical proud Dunmer native from Morrowind and would rather die than let her homeland fall, like most I'd assume. Especially to Argonians. I literally said "LOLWUT?" when I read that, because how can tribal lizards take over the Dunmer?
I think a lot of the fans generally did not like the book, so hopefully we will be seeing little influence on the game. Too bad I lost the personal email of the guy who runs the Bethesda Blog otherwise I'd voice my opinion directly to him. I so will if I do end up getting an internship there when I graduate from college like I might.
