Books...

Yack · 05-10-2002, 02:23 AM

Have anyone been checking the books? at first i was mostly "reading on the run" but as the number of books read grow there was some interesting revelations, and more important, a lot of clues for those that like a bit of detective work...

Besides the fact of a few fun stories to read, the history and lore of this world its very well done, it is refreshing to find so many new things to learn, lately was Black Isle games what took most of my time, and in a world so popular as the Forgothen Realms the discoveries are somewhat spoil after reading a few novels.

I'm still figuring out the inner workings of the different factions found in Vvardenfell, even my loyalty its not clear, in the work as a Blade the orders given to me are often ambiguous and lacking on what as a person I consider fair and right, at the end only time will tell, time spend on traveling, exploring, questing, and from now on, turning pages...

heya, yack!

i must agree with you. i just LOVE finding a new book to read ingame.

i found a "romance novel" like book, that was several parts. after i finally got the missing volume, i realized that altho a romancer, it had told me a LOT about political insiding and how things work in the gov't. plus i learned a LOT about thievery, as the main char was a member of the thieve's guild.

it was an amusing way to learn soemthing. unlike those dry history books where its all like those lineage books in the bible.

"Humpzakitty begat NoisyKoff who begat ... and lived with no excitement for ten thousand ages." lol.

course, my faves are the ones that go "Zing!" when you open them!

not sure what its written in..the mage i talked to about it only said that he couldnt decipher it, and that i would need a key..
'divine metaphysics' its called, found underground near gnisis..
looks very cool tho, its got a diagram of some warrior like figure [img]smile.gif[/img]
soon as i find the code, think i'll do a quick sprint soon as i unlock it [img]smile.gif[/img] death by accidental conjuring methinks

a mild spoiler.

they are not what they look like, its not daedric runes, think in something older, and the "warrior" of the diagram, well lets say that you will meet him, from the inside...

Hey, is there a series of books entitled "Prince Edward" or some such thing, about a young prince travelling with a band of adventurers? That was my favorite series in DaggerFall but I've still got a few volumes of it that I need to read. Oh and can anyone recommend any good books for when I finally get the game?

I read books only to increase my skills, didn't bother to read what it says on the book.
