Late as usual, but welcome aboard Saki!!!

Hi,
This is my first post here. Since at least 2012 I’ve been on the Bethesda forms; first as macole-Vampire Hunter and now macole. My favorite TES game? It’s a three-way tie; Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion.

Daggerfall in the late 90’s was my first TES game. Morrowind came next followed by Oblivion, Arena, and Skyrim. I’d so like to play Battlespire but I just can’t get it to run right.

Before I started Skyrim I wanted to do what I hadn’t done; the MQ of all three Morrowind modules. I started in 2013 and by 2016 my custom race character (my 1st mod) had gone through Morrowind, Tribunal, and a good portion of Bloodmoon. Probably would still be going if I hadn’t built a new PC in 2017.

Luckily I purchased Skyrim a month before Skyrim SE released (freebie). Skyrim’s MQ came and went so quickly I never developed an intense attachment to it.

I turned my attention to Oblivion in 2017 as I wanted to complete some quest mods (e.g. Lost Spires, Adens Epic Dungeon, Rumple, Gweden Brothel, Stranded Light, and a few others) that I always load but never finish. This game is still going on. It is amazing to me how easily these seemingly independent quest mods can fit into my character’s continuing story.

Lately I’ve been dabbling in Daggerfall Unity and working up interest in a new Morrowind load.

I see my character as an on-going persona that came into being after reading The Fairie in Daggerfall. What happened to them (my ancestors)?

I don’t play dead-is-dead. Well, I did in Daggerfall, they buried you when you die in Daggerfall. Plus I like making characters in Daggerfall’s chargen.

Thanks for your time and for the invite.

macole! Crying out loud, I much remember you from Bethsoft! Nice to see you again mate, even though I dare say we didn't actually talk too much. Always nice to see old Bethsoft members!


Welcome aboard and have yourself the obligatory fishy stick!

A very warm Welcome to Chorrol!

A warm welcome to macole! I was delighted when Renee invited you to join us!

Welcome aboard Macole

Always good to see other Bethsoft veterans join the crew! Good to see you here Macole! We are a fairly small group currently, nothing like Bethsoft in its heyday, but I like to think of Chorrol as the spiritual successor of everything that was good about those beloved forums. Welcome!

Hey, glad you made the leap over here, macole. I occasionally visit and post in Beth's new forums myself but Chorrol's more like our home, I suppose. Our pub on the corner. Our hamlet in the vast, cold wastes that are the Internet.

I see mirocu has already given a Fishy Stick so darn! I've go a carton full of these things in my freezer, whatever am I going to do with them? Ha ha.

Welcome aboard!

I remember your username macole - vampire hunter, although just like mirocu said, I think we didn't talk so much. Glad to see another long-standing member of old Beth forums here.

Whoa, another familiar face! Hi macole! Are your vampire hunting days behind you? Welcome aboard.

If you haven't played it yet, I hope you are interested in and can play Elder Scrolls Online. Many of us are in ESO frequently. We also have a Discord you can join as well, although I don't remember the link to it or the password (if there is one).

I believe it’s in a pinned post at the top of the ESO forum.

Welcome aboard! It is always good to see fresh blood here at Chorrol.

Always thrilled to see another Daggerfallian. Welcome and enjoy your stay with us.

To bring them the Eternal Cure, I still go dancing with the creatures of the night.
Unfortunately I'm not much of a MMO player. ESO sounds so tempting but when I see the combat I just don't know.

Welcome, macole! I hope you like it here.

Hello everyone!

I am Lena Wolf and I write fiction... Well, no, it's not fiction - it's all true and happened in my games. Lena Wolf appeared about ten years ago, she went through some transformations, travelled the world - Tamriel and beyond - made some friends and enemies along the way... The enemies are mostly dead now... Some of her close friends have stories of their own, from other worlds, mostly as yet unwritten.

I am a refugee from the Bethesda forum which is suddenly "sunsetting" with a 7 day notice... more like going supernova, I'd say - and leaving a black hole in its place. So I'm awfully glad to have been accepted here. I haven't yet been able to explore this forum properly, but I will, give it some time. Unfortunately one cannot just disappear into Oblivion, one also has to cook meals, clean the house, tend to the cats, walk the dog... you know - keep the material representation functioning.

I like to bring characters from other worlds into Tamriel. So in Lena's story you'll find elements and people from Dragon Age, Witcher, Fable, Risen and Two Worlds, with a hint of Naughty Bear. Nothing OTT or out of place - no guns or anything. To do this "in real life" rather than purely in my imagination, I recently started slight modding. I play Oblivion on Xbox360 and mod my saves to add characters and change the environment. I play Skyrim on PS4 and make some easy mods for it - my PC doesn't have enough muscle to run Skyrim. Most other games don't have much modding potential - Bethesda is really an exception in this respect. And anyhow, most other games are too story-driven to be able to sandbox in them. Which is why, even though I love some of those worlds, my favourite characters sooner or later board a ship and cross the Great Ocean to Tamriel. They do bring their stories with them though.

All my stories - Lena's and others - as well as my attempts at modding are stored on my blog MasserAndSecunda.wordpress.com, which I started as a way to keep everything in one place. So if anyone is curious about more stories or about "behind the scenes" stuff and scripts, feel free to look in.

Looking forward to engaging with you all!

Yours -
Lena Wolf

Welcome home, Lena Wolf! Absolutely feel your pain on the loss of the Bethesda Official Forums. A large portion of us migrated here from the original Bethesda forums back in March 2010; and have been here ever since. A warm welcome home to you!

Welcome, Lena! Great to have you here!

Aye, welcome aboard Lena Wolf.

Hi Lena. It is great to see a new person here. Hopefully I can get to reading your stuff soon.

Welcome, Lena!

An "official" welcome to you! I am going to make a few last comments over on Bethesda.net just for old times' sake before we can't do it anymore. Just did yesterday, in fact.

We also have a Discord, and there are a handful of Chorrolites that pop on over there more than on this site. I do not have the Discord link handy at the moment, but somebody else might be able to provide it to you.

Hi everyone ! I am Infa Red. TES fan. But mainly now only play and mod Skyrim.
I come with the refugees from Bethesda.net, and I want to thank those who accepted me here and those that helped me get here. This seems to be a elite place, hard to get into. Are we the illuminati ? Did I just make it ? If so, wow, I have so much I want to accomplish now. lol So many people to get rid of... hmmm

I do in fact make it to the cloud district often, so middle finger on that Nazeem !!

I say played out slang, cause I am old school. I started with D&D, and a Atari 2600. Had every console since and even still have my original NES, Sega Genesis, PS1, Dreamcast, xBoxes, etc.. Sadly my Colecovision didn't make it. A official arcade person. Used to steal quarters from our laundry fund jar and run off to the arcade KNOWING I was going to get beat that night, (seriously) but didn't care. That was prob the first sign, I am a true natural born gamer.

That said I do play/mod Skyrim on a PC. YET I am a Mac dude honestly, can not lie (mainly for my music studio). Mac OS has just always been superior to me. Also, big Steve Jobs fan. Windows has always sucked to me. Looks like gibberish. But as you can guess, I just own way too much gear !! haha.

Now - LETS PLAY !! I roll the 8 sided die - and........

Hi Infa. Welcome to the Cloud District!

We are not an elite place. We had a massive influx of spam bots a while back. Because of that we limited the ease in which people can join the forum. We want to make sure they are really people.

Welcome, Infa Red! SubRosa is right - the 'invite only' is to avoid spambots and, since we implemented it in 2017, has worked well. We are effectively, very small though. Despite our roster of +5000 members, no more than about a score are generally active. That has led to a wonderfully intimate little forum though where we get to know each other and, above all, support and respect each other. Again, welcome!

Lena Wolf! So happy to have you here. I bow to your ability to weave many worlds into your stories- that is a remarkable talent! I look forward to perusing your writings and to your joining our family.

Infa Red! Also happy for YOU to be here. I also tend to hang on to electronics- I still have my Apple IIe, which could be plugged into a color TV with a coaxial cable to form a "color monitor". So back in the 80's, I had a 19" Zenith monitor

Also another D&D person, as well as a collector of obscure words just because I like the way they sound. "Tatterdemalion" is still in my top 3.

Based on your roll of the 8-sided, you have a chance to make a Wisdom check. Roll the 20-sided and let's see what happens....

Thanks everyone for the welcome - I do so love warm and fuzzy places... mead... grog... rum... chocolate fountains... You will regret your kindness - mark my words - I'll talk your ears off...

Hello to fellow Bethesda refugees as well - Infa Red and others that are yet to come! There are a few of us, I've been told.

Cheese for everyone!

No, scratch that - no cheese. Which can be just as much of a celebration if you don't like cheese.

Thanks man ! Appreciated. Wow, a 19" color Zenith monitor in the 80's for the house is baller territory ! Must have been doing well.

Ok, so I guess I must have rolled very low on the Wisdom check, lol because I have never heard of the word Tatterdemalion. Matter fact I had to google it cause I didn't believe it was a word, haha thought you were pullin our chains. Wow- its a real word. Sounds too funny to be a word doesn't it ? LOL

After a good D&D session with my friends, that lasted waaaay too long even to my standards (2.5 days) the tatterdemalion room reeked of old pizza, chinese food, weed and shoe funk.

*disclaimer, that was medical marijuana, so this post is still kid friendly*

Hello everyone 😀
I did not see this thread right away...so my first post was in Renee’s 1st vs 3rd pov Thread....oops!

Right, ok, so I am here now...Let’s get going!
I am a consistent enduring persona with a human counterpart who does an adequate job (mostly) of typing my thoughts into text and wiggling the controller sticks when my likeness appears in-game. My personality is quite different to my ‘other half’ and our traits are mostly opposite.
I was born five years ago and I am currently 35, and will probably remain so. My formal adopted title is Contessa...because I like it.
In my ‘imaginaverse’ I enjoy the privileges of noble position: Fine wines, fine slim cigars, caviar and stables for recreation...But I work in Skyrim!
That may be a bit much to appreciate all at once hmmm😳....But we are all internet personalities here,�„
Ooooh quick edit: Yes! I am a Beth refugee too😂

Welcome, Adella - and to your human assistant as well.

Why thank you Acadian. You probably will not remember me from before Noah’s flood, but iirc you are the partner of Buffy the bow girl, is she still with you? oh and you flew F4s back in the day. Eight minutes on full afterburner you said.....Funny the things that stick in mind huh!
A.😀

Why yes! Buffy and I are still inseparable. She makes her home in ESO at the moment.

Adella/Contessa !! So nice to see you both here.

<3 <3 <3

Thank you Infa <hugs>
Um’ Both here?
Ah....You probably mean me and my host.
I thought for a moment you had confused ‘Contessa’ and ‘Adella’ as somehow being two different people.
I am in full “Contessa Adella di Mente�
But just Adella to friends hmmm.
A.�

A blanket welcome to our newest members! Apologies if I miss anybody and let me know if that happens.


Pseron Wyrd (Actually, it seems that you have been a member for along time, so I guess I don't remember ever seeing you post. I'll count you as new in my eyes. I remember you quite well from the just-now closed Bethesda forums and the iteration before that that ended in 2016/2017.)
Adella
Infa Red
Lena_Wolf
Ikonomov

According to my account statistics the last post I made on this second account (before I started posting again recently) was on Jul 20 2015, before you joined. So I guess that's why you haven't noticed.

But many thanks for the welcome anyway!

I was referring to your alter character/ego and the normal you/ego.. haha Or yea, host as you put it. But wait.. wouldn't Adella be the host and Contessa is the alter ? Hmmmm ? Like Adella is hosting Contessa within her mind, right ? Not Contessa hosting Adella in her mind ?

Wait, now I am confused.



Thank you my friend. And may I say you have the coolest name ever ! Because Indiana Jones is the best ever !! I used to play him when my cousins and I would play Raiders of the Lost Ark at home. I had it easy cause they were girls, so I always qualified as the lead characters ! haha Luke, Han, Indie... They had to play the damsels in distress. Or Chewbacca ! LOL Seriously, my youngest cousin insisted on playing Chewy of all characters.. Ok, so you don't wanna be Princess Leia ? Nope.. Wow, ok..

And we still tease her about that to this day. AND to top it all off, she loves to be teased about it. Haha. She is great.

A warm welcome to Lena Wolf, Infa Red, Ikonomov, and Adella! Wonderful to see you, I’m so glad you found your way here.

It’s lovely to see you again, Pseron Wyrd!

Warmest welcome to all new comers to our little abode!

Hello. Thanks to Lena Wolf I managed to register here.
I was into Morrowind modding until I grew lazy to do no more. I play and set up modded games for TES III, IV and V. One of the reason that interesting me to register here is old habit of fishing out the mods that may not seem much but I am just hungry to download them, check them out ( hopefully ) and archive them.
I am also active on Morrowind Modding Community discord server.

Welcome, Zelazko!

Good to have you among us, Zelazko!

I'm sure you'll find a warm welcome here at Chorrol. Though we are small (in terms of active users), we do have several skilled modders (including Lena Wolf as you already know).

Great to have you here, Zelazko. Ignore the "Waiting 4 Oblivion" banner which decorates our home. I think Oblivion has been out for awhile.

I recently tried to recruit somebody too. Maybe we'll add two this week.

Welcome, Zelazko!

A warm welcome to you, Zelazko! Hope you find this place as enjoyable as I have.
