Thy fearful Symmetry’s first few Skyshards

So long, farewell: starter island no.1

Goodbye Stros M’Kai… Hello Betnikh!

Dwemer in the desert

I said this before when I was here in beta with my cute-as-a-button Orc Nightblade, Delirium-who-was-Delight: I’m loving the unexpected combo of Dwemer ruins with the North African landscape and architecture. About as far as you could get from the way the Dwarven Steampunk aesthetic interfaces with the Nordic environs of Skyrim, but I think both are […]

Thy fearful Symmetry, level 5 Templar

We kind of hate the jack (torso armor) but it’s significantly better than anything else we have. Digging the two-handed greatsword, though.

Tamriel’s answer to Morocco

Yes, back in Stros M’Kai to do the starter islands to completeness this time. Though in terms of the Northern Africa references, I am curious to see how this little island is similar to, or different from, the Alik’r Desert, when we get there. Posing for a picture by our favorite giant statue: Runnning. Galloping. Running […]

Daggerfall City, and our first game post-beta

I really appreciate the traditional British Isles / Northern Europe flavor of Glenumbra at least (and I kind of assume, all of High Rock?); there’s just such a range of styles they’ve deployed in this game, to really make each country, race, and alliance feel unique and specific. We had a bit of a shock […]

Our pleasure to introduce Thy fearful Symmetry, Khajiit Templar

So through a series of accidents and overcompensations, we ended up with an extra copy of the Mac/PC Imperial Edition of ESO, and after a small amount of pondering (very small, to be honest) we decided “Ah, fuck it” and we’re playing ESO now on my MacBook Pro, until the PS4 version comes out at […]

3rd beta: Delirium-who-was-Delight resurfaces

We were having a ton of fun in the AD, and playing Vladimir Estragon the Dragonknight was a lovely thing; but it was also still a beta test and it was beaching clear that an increasing number of quests were buggy and impeding progress. (For what’s it’s worth, a bit of reading on the internets […]

Don’t Blink, Del!

…and from the Daggerfall Covenant

This is Delirium-who-was-Delight, my cute-as-a-button Orcish Nightblade. She’s the Shirley Temple (my you rest in peace) of Orsinium, right up until she draws a knife across your throat. Or, in the case of her current weaponry, sinks one or both of her double hand-axes into your skull. I got her to level 4 in this […]
