Why can't I pick up the Dwemer puzzle box from the shelf in the ruin before I've received the quest to go find it? It's like it's nailed to the shelf or weighs a million tons. Duuuuuuumb.
Well, at least it's there. If it were Oblivion or Skyrim, the thing probably wouldn't even be there before you're supposed to go fetch it.

Oblivion did the magical appearing item phenomenon, but as far as I remember, Skyrim did let you pick up random quest related junk, it just wouldn't let you throw it away (and the quest items had weight, giving your character a permanent weight handicap).

Well, okay.

I finally managed to interact with the great Kirkbride himself!

1) Ebonarm is the dumb. Probably will (and should) stay in in the trashbin. 2) Others have pointed out post-Spire uses of the dream sleeve. 3) Fuckin' c-word. Shame on you.

Yay!

shame on you

I don't know why I keep underestimating Saddam's obsession with TES lore. At this point, I'm suspicious that Saddam might be literally Kirkbride in a vain attempt to play himself up.

This is Kirkbride?

Kirkbride's first computer. So precious.

Remember that Kirkbride worked for Bethesda as an artist, not as any kind of coder or developer who would need to be wise in the ways of technology or whatever. This Saddam-as-Kirkbride theory may not be as implausible as you think.

He also has a degree in theology.

No, he studied comparative religion. And yes, there is a difference between them. We discussed that subject here:

I will admit the article you posted in that thread was a good read and likewise the comments were entertaining.

Translated because it was originally in Russian. Anyway, I think/hope that the implication in-game will be that these items are forgeries being pawned off on gullible buyers. The alternative is too lore-bendingly horrific to contemplate. However, the mention of Akulakhan and the "Second Numidium" is a screw-up. That won't exist for another eight hundred years.

And now they've fixed it:

Quote from: Patch Notes

Renamed the purple-quality stealable item "Bolt of the Second Numidium” to “Bolt of the Nimidium.” Akulakhan will never realize its ability to transcend time. That right belongs to another golem.

Little-known fact, the Nimidium was a golem built by Mike the Liar.

Good thing you linked that, it reminded me to cancel the subscription. I have no doubt those jackasses would have charged me $15 only days before the game goes free.

beardo · « **Reply #1955 on:** March 14, 2015, 08:24:18 AM »

I no longer have enough money on my paypal, so my sub will be canceled about a week after it goes free, so I'll get a few days to try out ESO Plus.

You don't have a bank account or anything linked with them? They'll automatically use your other payment methods if they're available.

I tried using my visa card at first, but I made a typo in the address field, and the fucking shit won't let me correct it. Every time I try to correct it, and click the submit button, the shit will still use the typo. So I opted for paypal instead.

Rushy · « **Reply #1958 on:** March 14, 2015, 09:23:57 PM »

No, I meant with PayPal. They will exhaust all your payment methods before denying a payment request.
