Aw shit, is that another Akaviri invasion or something like that?

We should probably slow down on the collabs. It could be any time now that Gcold's could grace us with an IC post. And this ones pretty big. Speaking of collabs, my past GMing history with them is a little tainted, so I'm very pleased how prompt you guys have been churning them out.

@Leidenschaft

I thought G-Dog had one ready and was just waiting for us players to make some posts.

This one has it on good authority one can scratch an itch in the Grey Quarter for a handful of quarters.

@Dervish

As far as I know the last Khajiit who decided to have some fun with a Dunmer princess got drawn and quartered. But I guess anyone's a princess if they can make you feel like a handsome prince.

I totally have that khajiit hedonism down to a science.

@Dervish

Ah, the good old 'Let me fuck a Dunmer princess in the middle of a bar' hedonism. Can't go wrong with that in Skyrim I reckon.

If I remember my lore right, didn't orcs come into being after Boethia turned Trinimac (I think... could be wrong) into Malacath, which is why they are said to resemble him and never really had an ancestral homeland or even that long of a history compared to other races?

I feel rusty on my Elder Nerd. Where's Hermy Mora's bookshelf of mysteries when you need it?

@Dervish

Orcs literally come from a pile of shit. No really. Same with Malacath. No wonder they weren't playable in Daggerfall or Arena.

Technically, modern day human can live to 100+ given the right conditions. But why is the average lifespan 70 something? Because few have access to the perfectly optimal conditions.

Same with elves on Tamriel, they have the potential to live up to the Millennium. But with all the disasters, wars and diseases, few get to see that being realized.

Drawing another parallel to real life; in that many seniors of advanced ages (80+) require some sort of assistance to get by daily. Things like pacemakers, wheelchairs and hearing aids are essential. The equivalent on Nirn is restoration, which most super-grandpas like Neloth utilize to stay healthy. Again, a bottleneck here. Not everyone have access to these.

@gcold

Well yeah, Barenziah makes it to 430, at least.

I don't care what anyone says, Zenimax can take their opinion and shove it. Altmer live up to 1000 years, Dunmer and Bosmer 200. Roze has the right of it, Orcs are pretty much big, green men with pointy ears when it comes to their lifespan.

@Leidenschaft

Well according to The Real Barenziah, Volume II, all elves live about a thousand, actually. And Morrowind says Altmer usually have more of a resistance to disease, so maybe that's why they are thought to live longer.

Sure, though I've got only about an hour.

“I’m sorry.”

“I’ve always loved you, even when you were gone and it was hard, but I’ve always loved you. So, don't be.” She said, before disappearing back into their bedroom. Jorwen closed the door behind him as he made his way back to the warehouse.

@gcold

I think I prefer the Israeli method that doesn't make anything double for anything else but just integrates various functions.
