Hilarious, maybe. There's nothing related to physics in a frozen bear tumbling downhill and somehow managing to achieve limited helicopter-style flight

The QC issue is where the bear starts spazzing out and flying. When that's the conclusion of your physics code, someone messed up a lil', heh.

Best laugh I've had in a while, though. Anyone know if that can happen to the player?

I have to say that removing stats is one of the few cuts I actually supported.  They always seemed like a vestigial feature, and having to plan out levels around getting +5s was asinine.

Th'only thing I could offer up to this point is they could have not cut them and still removed that asininity -- there's at least one mod for Morrowind (It was mentioned in one of the morrowind mod threads, though I forget what it was called) that completely removes the level up screen and has stats gain as a direct result of skill training, no need for finicky attention to what you were doing.

Just that one mod (and th'regen-magicka one) made playing morrowind again earlier this year a considerably more pleasant and mechanically unintrusive experience, without actually removing the mechanical depth of complexity that stats represent. Mechanical bonus/choice example one: Cross skill buffs: Pop out a strength spell to boost several skills -- and some misc. other features -- to a lesser degree, or slam down a single skill buff for a more focused, more powerful effect. Stuff like that, yanno'?

This isn't a 'zomg morrowind better aiee' thing, just noting that including stats in the TES system could have been done a lot more organically without removing them.

Mostly, though, it's just that seeing features removed, especially ones that add mechanical depth to a system, always makes me a little sad. I'd always rather see it (the feature) made to fit, rather than removed. With something as simple as a stat system, that's really, really, easy.

But I couldn't really say anything major about it re: games after morrowind, until I actually play them and see how the systems work Maybe a new computer by the end of next year~

There's one meteor! It hit one of the sky islands.

Happy with torchsea size now that I can actually compare it. It's sea-sized! (A bit larger, actually~) Also either the largest or second largest body of standing water on the map Couple of flooded cave systems that are around the same size, just more spread out.

Several pretty looking buildings I haven't visited yet, hum. I'll have to finishing digging that tunnel through the lava corruption. Whoever flooded that place with fire should have built an underpass

Anyway~ Thanks for the update, Kael!

Hey, if the current races are made of demigod corpse, it makes total sense to try to go up there and harvest some more. Combat slave race creation, baby. Or some kind of huge self-replicating slime-thing that lives off sunlight whose flesh is of milk and honey, solving all food problems forever~

Etc, etc. I could totally see the more power hungry folks going up there for stuff like that.

And holes in space? Perfect place to throw the more annoying people

nope

I really want to find that game...

Maybe one of the Empire Earth games? Do you remember about how old the game would be?

Eh? Just logged in, everything seems to be as-was yesterday/earlier this morning. Did the server roll back a bit or somethin'?

Just so long as you can make your spells do it.

Then you could create the Prestige class <Pinball Wizard>.
