went into a fugue state today and downloaded many immersion mods. a few highlights:
spouse's freedom: your spouse will now leave the house and go about their normal daily routine instead of waiting wretchedly around for you to come back
take a nap: exhausted from adventuring? doze off in your chair. suffer lore-friendly back pain
civil war battlefields: adds abandoned battlefields across skyrim so that you don't forget there's a war on
bandit hounds overhaul: adds more dogs to bandit hideouts and strongholds and ups the realism by making them more dangerous. being rushed by a slavering wolfhound should worry you a little
immersive laundry: townspeople now hang their laundry out to dry :) it's cute
northern bathhouses: adds saunas to skyrim's larger settlements. hit gunmar with the viht (you can't actually hit gunmar with the viht)
bury sinderion: lets you give poor sinderion a proper burial. don't just leave him there...what are you going to tell avrusa
arkay's cremation: restoration spell that cremates the dead in sanctifying fire, in case you're not the sort to leave a trail of bodies in your wake
riverwood trader is a mess: makes lucan's and camilla's shop actually look as though it was ransacked by burglars. you can help them clean it too
not the immersive bees: bees will swarm you if you bother them. use this to your advantage in battle

i like that the jel word for khajiit and the ta’agra word for argonian are their respective endonyms but a little silly

There's a lot to be said about Bethesda and the Elder Scrolls, but you gotta appreciate the hustle of coming up with in-universe lore bullshittery to handwave away cross-game inconsistencies.
The cat-people look different game-to-game? Uuhh they have entirely different body structures based on their own version of Turbo Astrology. The lizard dudes looked like humans in the first game? Uuhh they're mutant plant people that evolve rapidly. This entire country looks different because we're trying to cash in on the fact that Lord of the Rings just came out a few years ago? Uuhh Lightning Jesus retroactively changed it. Which one of these endings is canon and who gets to keep the giant robot? Uuuhhhhh time paradox

One of my favorite tidbits about Oblivion is that, when Bethesda brought Patrick Stewart in to play Uriel Septim, they gave him this big 90-page booklet detailing the character’s history and background and motivations, and they were really worried that they’d gone overboard and given him too much.  Meanwhile, Stewart was delighted–he’s said that it was the best character prep he’d ever been given, and he wished more people would do that.

me and oomfie were chatting abt tes fandom demographics and we r wondering if this fandom is largely white or has some other trend. as people of color it’s important for spaces like this to be diverse in order to be safe but also we’re just curious as to who is blogging about tes! :) pls reblog to spread!

dating red flag: girl im explaining elder scrolls lore to says she agrees with auri-el and thinks that an unchanging pattern of crystalline nonexistence is preferable to mundus and the opportunity for mortalkind to exist and partake in the psijic endeavor

when i was playing ime i had that pronouns mod that allows you to be nonbinary. but brynjolf's intro dialog is gendered so he was striving valiantly to trigger the thieves guild questline but it became him following me all over riften and grunting at me. fucking terrifying thought i was gonna get hatecrimed
