I don't see why not, it is general discussion.

Prequel is the best.

Oh, yeah, and because I am a klutz I forgot to kind of suggest that we could maybe bump this occasionally when it updates, mostly because forums are horrible things to poll.

i would also like to recommend starfall. it's like some kind of earthbound quest.

Thank you OP. I love you forever.

She'll have to be extra cautious tomorrow. The guy does not discriminate when it comes to breaking the LAW, so Katia's actions could backfire in a hilarious/terrible way.

"Justice Detour" was funny. Gotta love those disguise terms. I also giggled at finger-handshake.

It's okay if she accidentally breaks a law, just don't choose resist arrest. We don't have money either, so we can only go to jail.

And judging from her dreams, it looks likes she's destined to get arrested and meet the emperor anyway, seeing as how this is essentially sorta how the game plays out with that mod that starts you off in a boat. She's definitely part of one of those dragon-split multiple reality split speical characters that elder scrolls lore subtly breaks the forth wall with to make every single character and action canonically possible. The Nerevar was a dragonsplit guy, the daggerfall person and resultant ending where they all impossibly happened was a dragonslplit guy and so is the champion of cyrodil. Presumably, so will the Dovakiin dragonborn will be one of these dragonsplit characters, it's just they're double dragon related.

I don't know the correct term for these multiple reality breaks beyond the fact it involves dragon in the word and the player. There's this weird morrowind metaphysics article that discusses it somewhere on the internet.

>>16589
Well, it's Oblivion LAW, at least, so it's pretty straightforward. No trespassing, no stealing, no hitting first, no riding other people's horses. I mean that's still plenty of rope, but at least it's not Paranoia and she'll be executed for stepping on the wrong colour of flagstone.

So I heard some of you have a problem with the site being awkward to follow. Be that as it may, I've put up an RSS feed that may make this somewhat easier. It's updated every ten minutes, though I need to add new threads by hand.

Neat. The "view post" and "==>" links need patching up to the point to the right place, though, it seems, and unfortunately there's some noise in there.

Updated again BTW.

>>16633
Fixed up the links .. should they go to the forum or to the quick-view? The "noise" is, I think, primarily because I just dump the post's html out unmodified, without any css to interpret the tag classes. Should I strip spoiler tags, or format them as already-visible? I think some RSS readers don't handle buttons well ..

>>16640
I would personally strip them.

>>16641
Like this?

>>16640
I mean noise as in it picks up posts that aren't updates, but I don't think there's a good solution for that since there's no dependable way to tell them apart.

It's working pretty great otherwise, so cheers!

>>16644
I can't tell! I would personally find it bothersome if they were autoexpanded and in between the images and text that make up the narrative of the update.

Just updated.

>>16618
Thanks for that. Since the quest got to the stage of "1-update-followed-by-4-pages-of-answers", this is getting really handy.

On that note, is there no way to change the number of replies per page on that forum? I have enough ram and fast enough internet that there is really no need to limit it to 25.

Wow.
I have never played any of the elder scrolls game, but this is a pretty damned amazing quest.

This quest is way better than the games.

To be honest, I rather disliked the dream sequence.

Katia in her wake state is just much more down-to-earth and we are actually getting shit done.

>>16815
Yes

>>16814

This quest is making me want to play Oblivion. And I don't like Oblivion.

>>16816
The dream sequence was good storytelling. It lets the author reinforce the sense of hopelessness that was characteristic of the first part of the quest without actually having Katia ruin any sort of thing because her life is starting to get on track. I think it helps rein in suggestions that she can do anything and keep the readers a little more down to earth.

>>16818
It was frustrating, but I agree. Getting a glimpse of the shit Katia has had to put up with every night for her whole life makes her rampant alcoholism a little bit more understandable.

\I would so reinstall this game if modding it wasn't so bothersome a space-using.

>>16817
Likewise. Thankfully I haven't reinstalled it since an OS switch so lazyness is on my side in avoiding once again rediscovering that it is the most tedious fantasy CRPG known to man.

Aye.

modding the game is the real fun part of Oblivion

It's funny how all the nerd communities blame each other for shitting it up.

The quest itself is quite neat, but way to wordy for its own good.

I don't know why Kazerad is so bent on moving off-site.
If dividing suggestions and discussion is what he's after, he could just make a second thread and be done with it.

It's not something a technical medium can fix. If the readers don't moderate themselves, no forum/blog/reddit/whatnot will keep them from going wildly off-topic where they should be leaving short, precise directions.

>>17062
With a blog at least he can make a new post for each update, and the suggestions/fanart/retardation can be comments. Then reading through it (in either direction!) is always easy without the need for manual big blue arrows.

Forums and imageboards are actually kind of a bad tech-base for quests because they put the audience on-stage with the author.

>>17063

>Forums and imageboards are actually kind of a bad tech-base for quests because they put the audience on-stage with the author.

I wouldn't call image boards a bad tech-base as the suggestions really are a part of the whole experience. And in an imageboard you can just keep scrolling down in order to skip past things. It's also less apt to run into enormous 10-page tangential discussion.

Blogs are also good, though. They have some benefits and some drawbacks compared to imageboards.

Forums are fucking terrible for it, in no small part because of the sort of people who spend time in Forums.

>>17068
a blog seems like it might be better if there are thirty trillion people suggesting. For things like we do, an imageboard is probably a much better technology.

>>17063
>With a blog at least he can make a new post for each update, and the suggestions/fanart/retardation can be comments. Then reading through it (in either direction!) is always easy without the need for manual big blue arrows.

Pretty much this. Forum threads weren't built for having one "main" poster with lots of ignorable fluff comments in-between. Blogs, on the other hand, are made exactly for this. I tried to compensate for the forum medium by manually stringing the updates together, but when people started (understandably) requesting an archive and backwards arrows, I realized it was time to automate the process.

My current plan is to post the updates to my own site but continue to only take commands in the MSPA forum thread. If the forum thread is billed specifically as the story's Command Center, that means all the little non-command posts like "hey great story" or "hahaha drugs" can just be left in the blog comments, making it easier for me to sift out actual commands. It also means I still have the MSPAF moderators watching over my thread and enforcing the rules for me, which is handier than doing it myself or finding my own mods.

(Additionally, keeping the commands in a forum thread makes it less obvious when I go back and use an earlier command in a later update. Some commands are really good ideas, but take a couple updates to facilitate.)

Hopefully that clears my motivations up! The site is mostly done at this point, I'm just waiting for my hosting provider to fix a slowness problem. According to them, "they know about the problem and are working on it". I'll chew them out later today if it's not better.

>>17098

Could be. But even if that does work out, the sort of general discussion which has just now flooded the thread is something that happens much more in relatively persistent places, so it's unlikely to move in a large capacity to the blog comments.

>>17109
Indeed, second that.

>>17098

HEY KAZ. One of those fanart guys here. Thanks for making something awesome. Figured I'd tell you here too since who I am on the MSPA site is A MYSTERY (I am Mallory's Beast).

>>17098
I see. Well, you call the shots here, but I'd keep the suggestions in the blog comments and discussion/fanart on the MSPA board.

That way, you won't have to quote all the suggestions (because they were in the previous post comments), and someone who just discovered the blog-based Prequel won't have to plow through the monstrously long MSPA thread just to see why Katia acted the way she did.

Anyway, kudos to you, and thanks for this adorably miserable Khajit.

>>17162
>Why not make one forum thread with discussion, and one forum thread with suggestions, like they do here? No need to make a whole separate blog people have to get separate user accounts to post suggestions on.

Having two threads would cut down on discussion, but wouldn't enhance readability very much. Even when looking at suggestions alone, there's usually at least 50 suggestion posts between any two of mine, making it a bit of a crawl to read. The main function of the site is to make the Quest easier to read, navigate, and stay up-to-date on.

Once that's in place, it doesn't matter much what happens in the thread. I mean, I'd LIKE to keep the next thread orderly, but if I slip up and lose 5 pages to spam, the story's readability will be unaffected.

>>17126
>I see. Well, you call the shots here, but I'd keep the suggestions in the blog comments and discussion/fanart on the MSPA board.

I've considered this, but I really don't want to have to enforce any kind of "on-topic rules" in the blog comments. One of my aims is to make the story more approachable, and if some new reader wants to easily leave a little comment about how much they liked a particular page, the least I can do is give them the opportunity. Remember that I want to make this easier for myself by separating suggestions from fluff; keeping people from posting normal comments in something CALLED "comments" will probably be a difficult endeavor.

Of course, this is all speculative at this point. I'm not positive what people will do. If things don't work out in practice, I'll just switch it so the commands come from the Comments.

>>17159
>will skooma ever make an appearance?

Sticking around will probably result in seeing fanart with his characters getting raped and/or tortured.

Okay, yes, there are a few other pictures, however, you made it sound like it was the norm for that stuff to get drawn or posted, when it's a miniscule fraction of the fanart, and most was a direct result of a terrible idea that hasn't been repeated.

To be fair, I forgot that I posted the Daisaki picture on the boards. I remember posting it from imagehost links. I certainly didn't post it in the fanart thread, that's for sure, and nobody would post anything like that in this thread on general unless they were just trying to troll.

Har har. The last few times people have wanted to get stuff, we asked the author. If they say no, I won't do it. I get the general impression that Kazerad would not be cool with that kind of stuff. I don't really think I'd be cool with drawing it either, even for cash.

OP image looks like it's increasingly applicable as a reaction to this thread.

At any rate, it sounds like Kazerad gave a predicted date of tomorrow for the new site being up, and with it possibly the new update. The quest's already got a number of updates, so I just wanted to thank Kazerad for doing all the work to put them up in a nice, browsable format.

Thanks, Kaz! <3

I found the image in a thread on /furi/, a furry porn and drama board, which Kazerad posted in after it was posted.

>>17310
I was looking in the old fanart threads, and really, we have less of that sort of fun stuff than we used to too.

I'm the OP of this thread. Given LawyerDog's rules, I therefore set the topic, and I say "reasons why Prequel on tgchan might end in horrible porn" falls within its scope. Deal w/ it etc.

>>17343
Yeah, I really like Prequel too and have been following it for a while. It's definitely better than Homestuck itself at this point.

Other opinions on the matters at hand should be discussed elsewhere.

>>17339
Not until we've wrecked Kazerad's mind first, apparently

Good job bringing it up again guys.

And did 2563d4 really get banned, or is the red text just Seal being an faghat again?

Needlessly melodramatic, wouldn't you say?
"Yes". For an hour. Don't know who, not entirely sure for what.

I haven't posted in this thread since then because there is absolutely nothing of value to add given the new site is not up yet and thus there are no new updates. My complaining-about-complaining banned post at least also clarified the intended topic scope; this one's marginal justification is to hopefully shut you two up.

So according to Kaz, he had a problem with the slowness of his site, but solved it through, quote, "the haphazard application of money."

>>17362

Looks like Kaz's site is still trying to resolve itself.

>>17390

I'm starting to think the problem might be on my end. As far as I can tell my home internet connection is the only one that can't load the site (on any browser or computer). I can't even ping the IP.

Of course, that would mean that the site's current inaccessibility has nothing to do with the fact I just bought it, and it was a pure, incredibly misleading coincidence that the one site that spontaneously stopped working was the one I had never yet SEEN working. Which would be almost impossibly unlucky.

If this doesn't fix itself by tomorrow I'm thinking I'll just load everything onto a laptop, take it to Panera Bread, and finish the site there. Indie style.

>>17339
We could always try to get her to learn alchemy.
Here is how alchemy works in The Elder Scrolls in three steps:
1. Make potions to boost your INT
2. Use your boosted INT to make potions that give a bigger bonus to INT
3. Alchemical technological singularity

Getting a better server was probably a good idea anyway.

>>17392
I get the suspicion that anything that involves abusing OOC knowledge and quirks of the game engine will only backfire horribly if it works at all.

Suddenly crippling potion addiction, sneaking into people's gardens at night to steal all their carrots.

>>17394

>sneaking into people's gardens at night to steal all their carrots.

You can do that shit in broad daylight and nobody gives a shit.

Once they actually pick it, though, it's stealing.

>>17392
That's far less true in Oblivion than Morrowind. Would still be good to have potions of magicka readily available, though.

What if we get her to be a painter? I think she'd be pretty good at it. After all, she did a decent job on that sign; she just needs something to focus on, and she can write off anything weird as artistic license.

>>17399
Yeah the main fault she had was engraving the sign before getting approval from the store owner about the design. She should have used a light, easy to get rid of painting material to use as a preview and fix the mistakes on that before even trying to start the engraving process for the sign.

Of course, if she grew up as a professional and truly had that skill, she wouldn't have done that and wouldn't make that mistake. No, all she does is have the MSPA forums to give her advice. And it was basically do it, they didn't put into account of the probability to make the mistake, which is considered unskilled, not even amateur level, for something a permanent as an engraving. You give shitty advice to an unskilled artisan, you get shit output. You give decent advice to an unskilled artisan, you get acceptable, usually. At least in a age with that level of technology and culture, wouldn't fly today, usually.

>>17401

Also the 'Mercandise' sign is actually in the game. It's an oblivion joke.

>>17402
I didn't know that was a joke, did we ever actually see the crappy sign's writing? If not and Katia did a perfect run, then the previous sign would have been the one with the typo and this would have been one of the sidequests that slightly change the world or environment. Let the rebuild Kvatch mod I guess.

But now that you mention that, maybe the REAL champion (which could be anyone, anything, even fucking goddamn legendary Nondrick the "NPC") might come along on that boat and Katia just happens to coincidentally foreshadow the emperor storyline and might get involved with the the sequel of the prequel, which is like... just a quel? Do we have a world for that?

Okay goddammit now I want to draw for the first time and forever and make a Nondrick-Katia crossover fanart. okay when Motherfuckerin' Prequel makes Dirtbag inspired to fanart shit. You know this quest is good.

Hey, was Telekinesis ever a good power to use in Oblivion? I tried using it once, and it seemed kind of lame.

>>17403

>If not and Katia did a perfect run, then the previous sign would have been the one with the typo and this would have been one of the sidequests that slightly change the world or environment.


There are a TON of reasons that it is obvious that Prequel takes place -before- oblivion if you actually play it.

I know, I had never played oblivion until I started reading prequel and then it was suddenly $7 on steam. When I went to Anvil I ran around town, checked out some of the NPCs, giggled at the 'mercandise' sign, and then broke into Quill Weave's house and stole all of her food to make it into potions.

>>17405
I keep thinking I'm under the presumption Katia's "player", who I assume shall be Kazerad, is using that general mod pack thing that includes the starting in Anvil by boat and a few other things. So technically this CAN be a player playing oblivion, just before they get jailed in imperial city for whatever the reason. And the title's logic means that using that mod in specific means it qualifies as being a Prequel.

>>17404
It was good for stealing, grabbing things out of reach and nothing else. It was annoying that you couldn't blast people with it but what I hated most about it was that you couldn't operate levers through the bars of those gates you find in the old forts.

>>17470

No thanks.

Comparing Prequel to Homesuck is painful.

Hussy/Hussein/Howeveryouspellit really has a bad Oh! Great-syndrome. Maybe Prequel just hasn't had as much time to devolve into an incomprehensible mess, but so far its writing is clearly superior out of the two.

"Amusingly" enough, 4chang's Zombie Quest reminds me much of MSPA stuff stylistically, and it actually had a definite point where it went from "maybe unnecessarily complex" to "what the fuck is going on". I don't remember the exact thread, but I spent a few good whiles trying to find the "missing" thread between possibly 6 and 7 or 7 and 8, before finally understanding that there was no missing thread but just a huge fucking disconnect before which the quest made enough sense and after which it made no sense whatsoever. If it hadn't had the quest's name as thread topic, I would not have believed it was the same quest. And it wasn't just the immediate disconnect, but also the fact that it continued to make no sense. Basically just like Finnish politics except nowhere near as horrendously sickening, deeply malicious and terrifyingly disconnected from reality.

>>17477

I understand Homestuck fine. I find both its intricacy and the fact that no assumption is inviolate to be positive aspects of the storytelling.

I don't think some of the /co/mrades really get it.

>>17524
That what he's proposing there basically defeats the entire purpose of quests as group-based adventure?

A CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED

The comments should be the place for suggestions, it’s really a superior setup for suggesting. You read the update and then there’s the text box right there, just punch the suggestion in and go. Whereas the MSPA thread is in a different place and is a mess of discussion and fanart.

Also damn near every post on the last one is a suggestion, so there's that.

Yeah, I have no problem with making suggestions as comments on the site, it makes more sense that way.

Hiding them away so that only Kaz can see them, and only allowing a poster to have one suggestion at a time however, that I can't get behind. It takes away the fun.

Most of the "fun" of suggesters responding to each-other (or posting anything other than a clear, concise action) is better described as "rampant idiocy".

Such an arrangement would be a huge improvement since it would force discussion to actually go to discussion threads, stop people repeatedly making "oh oh oh and" suggestions, stop reaction posts, and stop necrobumping. (All you need then is a ~200 character limit and you can kill off suggestions in the form of essays.)

>>17565
Yeah, God forbid people should actually enjoy themselves. Quests should be the sole domain of pedantic obsessive cases who see entertainment as serious business.

>>17569
The boundary of what's acceptable for one person's enjoyment stops where it disrupts the enjoyment of others. This is presumably why this site actually has rules for /quest/ covering much of the same ground, even if the mods never care to enforce them without being continually prodded to with reports.

For Prequel, Kaz seems to be quite capable of sifting through ten tons of herp, though; and quoting the bits he's actually using so readers don't have to. If the suggestions were on the comments, then at least the blog format---unlike an imageboard---means they don't intermingle with updates, and bickering over suggestions ends up nested in a tree, so you can trivially skip over any particularly terrible arguments.

(tl;dr imageboards are actually pretty bad for quests because they put the audience up on stage with the performer)

But the audience IS the performer.

>>17583
Stating false things with bolded words does not make them true.

>>17584
Stating false things in plaintext does not make them true, either.

>>17585
"I know you are, but what am I?"

Are you idiots seriously arrogant enough to think you're on equal storytelling standing with the author/artist because you provide suggested actions? This isn't an RPG session, and even those have an elevated DM role whose job it is to take what players want to do and report on what actually happens.

The audience for quests and shit, I think that can be best described similarly to something, is like in that of improv shows where the audience votes on a number or a magic show with magicians clever enough with their tricks they don't need planted volunteers in the audience for the quests with more direct interaction, like when Gando (coincidentally a wandering entertainment magician) summoned the spirits, as in us, in Gnoll's Bane.

>>17587
That did not make any sense at all.

>>17588
uhhhhh
the quest audience is like those audiences at improv shows where they pick numbers of scenes or suggest the subjects of improv themselves for normal quests
for quests with things like the orb or other types of direct actions or conversations WITH an audience member the closest example are magic acts that use volunteers that aren't planted by the magician.
Well no, a non-planted heckler of a comedian could be better associated with quests with things like an orb I suppose.

Point is I'm trying to come up with an accurate example of how suggesters can be compared to performances in line with the argument above. They are not a performer, but they do have significant influence of the performance.

>>17588
That is normal for Dirtbag.

>>17589
Unless you're arguing that the audience at a magic show should be on the stage and microphoned-up like the magician, this analogy is useless.

>>17590
Sorry, I guess it is. I dunno I just saw a discussion where it turns out there wasn't one.
I guess the heckler-comedian analogy is more accurate, but as far as I know hecklers are always planted and part of the act so that analogy falls apart too.

apparently kittens eat dremora hearts.

I would just like to say that Dmitri is completely adorable and I want him in the party forever.

Looks like Kaz was just using Dmitri as a plot device, not only because of one of his posts but because he's got enough suggestions he can choose any type of suggestion he wants.

Well, at least we learned the Orc likes discussing business practices. and hates Kvatch's mages guild, unless he's acting on the humorous principle of not talking about it, which is enough reason in itself in this gag Elder Scrolls universe.

Goddammit I loathe this Orc so fucking much.

I bet you anything he's going to show up at the end when Katia is this uber-powerful mage after a huge long ordeal of a quest, and there he'll be, in a full set of armor made of nothing but good luck charms.

She'll be a veritable God, unlimited magical power at her fingertips.

And this fucker will still be goddamn untouchable.

>>17806
And without the charms he'd be a challenge anyway. His strength stat is so overpowered he can just flex a muscle and down a skeleton and lodge a goddamn sword deep through stone and pull it out again. I bet a sword can't even cleave through those abs. Hell, his entire inventory is either in his abs or clenched between his buttocks so he just keeps a razor sharp weapon compacted between two very fit muscles.

Those buns and abs are made of goddamn diamond.

>>17806
>>17807
Don't forget he now has a ring of firewalking lodged on his finger. Because if Katia attempts to fireball him, I'm sure Kazerad won't have forgotten.

Man, Running out of reasons to continue reading this. I'll probably just watch this thread in the chance that the comic gets better.

><Blannk> Wait.
><Blannk> I've got an idea
><Blannk> Dye Katia's hair black.
><Blannk> Counter his good luck somewhat.
><Blannk> entire battlefield is laddrs.
><Blannk> And salt shakers everywhere
This is the best plan.

Am I the only guy who likes him? He's my second favourite character, after Katia (hurr Kaz killed everyone else durr). Part of me doesn't want him to become a Karma Houdini and get away with everything, but really I hope that he ends up joining Katia's party later down the line.

He's an entertaining character.

I just hope he doesn't kill the Legionnaire. Because I can totally see that happening suddenly at any time. Str + Luck and all that.

>>17810
Is the basic concern that things happen which cause the cat to cry? Because that's prooooobably going to keep happening...

>>17820
Nah, it's more the wasted time. Hell, I didn't even care too much for the Necromancer, he was too much like the main character. We don't need two wimpy spell flingers.
But, based on the fact that the author pics and chooses his responses, what the audience got was basically several wasted weeks.

I mean really, couldn't have the orc showed up later with a magical hoozits that stopped Katia in her tracks? Couldn't have this whole thing been summed up in a sentence or two?

*Shrugs* But that's, like, my opinion man.

http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?40825-PREQUEL-suggestion-box&p=5525584&viewfull=1#post5525584

all this did have a point, to give us some choices and HOW Dmitri was doomed. It wasn't really pointless, there's something that got affected. Our interest in the ring as a gift likely is what made the Orc notice it specifically and gave him fire-walking ability. Now If we chose another gift, the consequences could have turned out differently. He could be wearing another type of artifact now or whatever.

>>17821

Well yeah but doesn't every author pick and choose, at least to some degree? And I understand what your saying about time wasting, but it wasn't completely useless. We basically decided what bonus the Orc got. Personally I like side-stories like this, because I think they help to flesh out the setting. It may have taken a while, but this is going to take time to progress anyway. If every update just advanced the main plot it wouldn't be much of a story when you read it after completion.

*Shrugs* But that's, like, just another opinion man.

>>17824
>>17826

You make some good points with, like, your opinions mans.
Maybe there is just sand in my vagina, because yer totally right about it fleshing out the setting.

And I guess the type of magical hoozits might make a difference on down the road.

*catches up*

THE ORC MUST DIEEEE

>>17828
That and dying had not really been a thing up to this point. Sure, people had been shown as dead, but not anyone we actually had reason to care about.

My main objection is that only THREE people had any interest in mentioning Kvatch to him, it's not like there was a frickin' majority plan that Kazerad had to put in.

Also the orc decided to react in a manner completely out of character and far more extreme than any reaction we got before about Kvatch. It was like, out of nowhere just DEAD. AND this is right after he said that he liked talking to Dmitri. So what the fuck, seriously. It's like Kazerad built up our hopes of Dmitri surviving JUST to kill him at the last possible second. Because of course, Kazerad is a troll.

Six quid on Dmitri going be a zombie now.

Was this orc (i keep forgetting his goddamn name) in the game? Since this is a prequel, he might actually be the real protagonist of the main game with Katia just being the main character of this pre-story. There's a lot of unsubtle hints with the dreams and all that for Katia being the Champion/New Prince of Madness, but I never remember being plagued with such in the main game, she may just be an important prophet NPC that leaves the world once the real Champion gets arrested in Imperial City, most possibly related to the penultimate moment when the PC gets arrested there.

That's right, one of the most hated characters just might be the main goddamn character that wins the 'quel simply by being that fucking goddamn lucky and thus earning all the benefits from being the champion of Cyrodil and New prince of Madness. His strength might get knocked down a notch since then with a permanent skill drain spell or some such to match the lvl 1 nature.

Hell, anyone not in the game that shows up in this either dies, leaves the country, gets thrown so deep into the criminal underground the main character cannot even have the chance of meeting them despite however low the Champion can possibly get him/erself, or the Champion.

>>17839
The orc is at least level 10 already. He can't possibly be the player.

>>17844
Anything's possible in a world with broken do-it-yourself spells, including perma-skill/lvl drain, or something equivalent of it in the game's system. You know, like 32x10^2400 sec of skill drain

>>17848

Oh god you can talk to people multiple times I'm going to be here forever.

Highpoints:
- Katia's reaction to the gardener to the west
- Talking to the other Khajiit, off to the east of the entrance
- Stereo blinking unarmed trainer
- "I own a paintbrush!"
- Reaction to talking to Martin, ho ho, lore jokes
- The guy who will tell you Opinions about Mudcrabs
- Watching the meal get cold, and failing to get hired by the inn
- THE DRAGONFIRES LOOK OKAY TO ME
- Katia's oral anatomy
- Holy shit dancing minigame how long did he spend on this? (15040 and those bonuses whee)
- "Why would anyone want more than one tiny hammer?"
- Terrorising the captain of the guard
- Humane jailor
- Dinnerware!
- Bartender's persistant, unamused stare
- "I...guess that explains why I've never gotten pregnant?"

...it...it does stop dead inside the bookshop, right?

15287 15736! It's actually possible for Katia to be good at something!

>>18442

15471, second try

Oh shit you can terrorize the captain of the guard? I just talked to him twice. The jailor is the chairs guy, right? Where's the pregnant comment? How do I start the dance minigame and get banned from the inn?

>>18450
all right
do not know the rules of this game
just pressing buttons

>>18451

As far as I can figure it, each "move" in the dance game moves the midpoint of the bar one way or the other, in lesser or greater amounts, and the goal is to keep the midpoint as close to the goal as possible.

I think you might get more points the longer the bar in the corner becomes, which requires using moves less often, but I'm not sure.

High point for me was the woman who is totally not a vampire. Comedy gold.

Like many other characters, talking to her repeatedly is necessary to produce results. Talk to everyone in the flash until they start to repeat themselves to get all the jokes.

>>18450
>The jailor is the chairs guy, right?
Right.
>Where's the pregnant comment?
Jam lady next to the tree to the left of the stadium.
>How do I start the dance minigame
Talk to the guy in the right of the stadium repeatedly (it scrolls).
>and get banned from the inn?
Talk to the barman repeatedly. It's the northern one, not the one with the amusingly pissy elf.

>>18452
I think you're right, except the bar in the corner is just the Oblivion Fatigue (it's named backwards) gauge, and you can't move if you've drained it (by moving too much). Left/right seem to make bigger jumps than up/down.

What I can't figure is what space does, other than make Katia spin. It doesn't seem to move the bar or bonus points or anything, so maybe it's just decorative.

>>18458
I never found a way to accept her proposal, though.

>>18458
Wait, they say different things if you talk to them more than once? No wonder I couldn't find half of this shit.

I'm still getting nowhere near you guys' dance scores though.

Also the tit-bouncing animation is heinously underused. Someone should make a repeating .gif of it.

>>18460
Hitting space refreshes the bar's follow-the-goal cooldown. So you can use it if you're already right on target and the goal's moving around. It uses a lot of stamina, though. I think it might actually be better to just use the small-adjustment moves to catch up with the goal instead.

And Kazerad personally provided this last night.

>>18468
Excelsior!

What is going on with that letter? And Hirtel?

I'm so fucking suspicious. A book-autor writting to a book-tore? Too fucking easy.
Quill-Weave is gonna turn out to be a dremora cultist or something.

D:

All right, I went to the USPE wiki to look up various characters to see if they were established. I found the blacksmith and Hirtel the book guy. I forgot Hirtel was the guy who was running to us to warn against Kvatch's fall.

Is the jailer with the chairs the guy that heads the defense of the refugee camp or is it the paranoid guard atop the ramparts? Savlian Matius was the defense guy's name in the game.

I also looked up Quill Weave there too. She'll eventually be luring cougar's into her neighbor's basement and be going around Cyrodil to research the Doomstones, so if Katia returns to Anvil, we might see her venture with Quill Weave for research!

>>18500
I looked at all the guards. The gate guards are the chapel guards, the guy running around is the guard who gives you the castle key, the guy on the wall is the guy who's captured by the daedra, the guy in the Fighter's Guild is the guy you rescue near the oblivion gate, the guy in the castle courtyard and the guy locked in the tower are two of the guards at the gate, and the guy in the castle is the new captain.

I was in the middle of grabbing the dance music when I remembered that there were links. If you also were distracted by large, shiny objects, you may appreciate the download link here:

(Also, >using UESP wiki to try to predict Prequel plot. Also also, it's updated since the Flash already.)

>>18501
>guy you rescue near the oblivion gate
Awww, fuck. That guy got chump killed in my game when I stopped watching him. Now I feel super bad.
Also I didn't see any way to free the guy in the cage so I basically just left him there. He probably got out when the place came down, right? Right?

At least I saved all the ASOTILs that came to help.

this guy sucks at pricing books

the average price for a book in oblivion is, what, 10 septims?

>>18615
Skill increasing books can cost 40 or more.
I am actually playing Oblivion now, largely because of Prequel induced nostalgia. I decided to do a thing where you only ever use your 7 major skills (including athletics and acrobatics by necessity). Because of that I am playing the least orcish orc ever, who has never used non-clothes armor, non-staff weapons, or repair hammers.

WHERE ARE THE UPDATES KAZERAD YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE UPDATES

PREQUEL WILL NEVER UPDATE AGAIN

oh wait it just did

>>19067
Hot damn, the man has impeccable timing.

Yes!

Hot diggity damn, can't believe I've missed out on that flash update. That dance. The conversations. All of that. So good.

Oh Kazerad, you and your wacky works will go far.

and my flash player[s] don't run it smoothly enough to reliably get to anything.
