Nice mod.

I’ll again ask you take a step back and stop the unnecessary rudeness.

No jurisdiction to ask a question? it’s for moderators to answer.

No need to be rude. But this forum has rules against spam and I don’t see how a thread to advertise a second thread is productive.

Sounds like a faction tag issue. If it’s preventing progression, load the save, send puppy home.

…Why did this need two threads one hour apart?

^^”And it’s not terribly surprising, empires have always tried to force one language.” Please read all of what I say before critiquing it, this is unfortunately a fairly common issue with you and it makes conversations frustrating.

^See, I just don’t think this is the case. The Nerevarine is a foreigner, there’s no reason they should speak Dunmeri by default if any other race, or even if a Dunmer not born in Morrowind. Yet even the most xenophobic of houses can be understood from the first line of introductory dialogue. The fact a few Dunmer originating words are sprinkled into their otherwise universally English dialogue further suggests the language has largely fallen out of use even in Morrowind, with only a few remnants left. Maybe it declined to facilitate communication with the Dwemer during the first council. Maybe to negotiate with the Nords, or trade during peace time, and with the Alessian and Reman empires later on. Maybe the Tribunal actively pushes for its reduction for one reason or another. It can be a rational conclusion in a dozen different ways, but the reality at the end of the day is that there’s no evidence whatsoever they do not all speak Tamrielic as their first language as the player experiences in game.

Sure, but we have very little evidence this isn’t the reality in-universe as well. And it’s not terribly surprising, empires have always tried to push one language. I’ll also point to the decision to NOT make the daedric or dragon alphabets be in English, and to establish their own entirely new alphabet and language. Bethesda is willing to do this, so why would they not have a few lines from these groups to indicate a different language if one is meant to be present? It doesn’t even need to be a great undertaking. “Boogada boogadaboo. Ah, I see you do not understand Dunmeri.” Never mentioned again. Very easy to implement if this is the lore.

Except everyone in the orc strongholds speaks the same language in game as everyone else. And everyone in isolated farms, or small towns.

Yes, and it’s mostly depicted for ancient or non-human languages. The obvious conclusion is that these languages are very rarely used. This being the case even with xenophobic parties in Vvardenfell, that conclusion is pretty strongly reinforced. “The player character speaks the local language and any other one that pops up no matter their race or background” would be phenomenally silly meta.

I don’t think that’s the case based on the games.

Probably Hermaeus Mora. Plenty of things in ES that’ll kill you of enslave you, but the tentacle-eye blob with creepy ass minions who keeps knowledge secret from gods is just in a league of his own as far as shit to chase you.

I think that wouldn’t be the case simply because even the xenophobes in Morrowind speak to you in Tamrielic.

Definitely thief stone.

This basically never shows up in any game. I would guess the lore reason is that, partly thanks to the guilds, and a lack of desire to publish books in multiple languages, the empire has probably been steadily reducing other languages’ use since the days of Reman. That said, it also wouldn’t be that crazy to imagine a big chunk of people speak two languages and use their native language secondarily.

Yeah, for all its cool ideas, gear and lore, KotN’s reputation mechanics are irredeemable dogshit. There’s a reason us fanboys focus on Shivering Isles, lol.

Looks a bit like the mythic dawn armor, so anything to do with them or Dagon is a good bet. Obviously it’s the back half of Molag Bal’s name too, so, either way, Daedric princes are your theme.

Not the place, y’all.

I don’t think any of the advanced ones are physically in the shop, at least they weren’t for me.

Depends on if you mean last around or last to be dragonborn.
