The Elder Scrolls

I've finally started playing ESO and while questing around Vvardenfell, one of the Ashlanders, Yanabi-Asa, referred to Almalexia as the Mad Wife.

I tried looking it up online, but I've only found the same passing metion on the Wikis and nothing else, and I feel I'm lacking some major context having not played Morrowind as in-depth as I did Oblivion or Skyrim (played it last, my attention span had degraded to the point where I didn't have the patience to read all of the in-game lore books I managed to find...)

Is there any specific bit of lore which justifies the moniker? I know Vicec is a bit of a douche and Sotha Sil is fixated, but other than being a helicopter mom and a coward in terms of respecting her principles, I've never thought of Almalexia as mad or particularly off her rocker in any significant way.

Edit: or do they mean mad as in angry? This would also require some clarification, as I've not found her particularly wrathful, either.

Edit 2: did more reading around this and, yeah, still couldn't find anything from around 2E or earlier which would explain it. It seems to be related more to her actions in 3E, but that wouldn't explain the moniker being used in 2E.

Unless hand-wavey Daedra stuff having to do with Azura/Mephala/Boethiah chronicling future events?

Arthur plays the Hero

I spent yesterday putting this video together, learning to use #GIMP and #Kdenlive after watching this clip of #Arthur with my daughter and playing a ton of #Oblivion which gave me the idea, also with a bit of help from the wiki @uesp

Admittedly, Arena mostly plays like a Daggerfall beta. But still exciting!

At the Roxey Inn.

Only two hours into Oblivion Remake.

This line made me laugh out loud. Can't think of many modern games where the dialog is so direct.

Same scene: the innkeeper literally starts off by saying how she needs somebody killed.

Either I was just dumber as a kid when I first played Oblivion and accepted it at face value, or maybe Ive aged.

No official support for mods but that won't stop dedicated, horny modders

Really insightful video on how ambitious TES II was and how it still can be enjoyed with various QOL improvements made by the community. Also a nice suprise to see that you can get it for free (?), haven't actually tried getting it myself, but it is listed as an option nontheless. Anyways, watch this if you're interested in deep diving into one of the biggest RPGs of the 20th century!

From their giant flea-like appearance to the way they're controlled everything about them gives me the creeps.

Any creepy TES fauna and flora you're not a fan of?

Hello, I'm going to start my first play through of Oblivion tonight. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for on what mods to use or what to check out in the game?
