So in other words it's like Skyrim, but it's not.
Let me preface all this with a very clear remark on where I stand on Elder Scrolls.
I'm a modder.
The thing I love more than anything else about the Elder scrolls games is not it's basic gameplay, but it's world and the technology that drives it. The more sophistication that technology has and the more ability we have to weild that system as part of that world, to experience it as a 'world' and not just a game, the better.
I have no specific complaints about the core gameplay of Skyrim, but I know there are other ways one can make the game that still exists well within the realm of the Elder Scrolls series, or for that matter being able to take innovation and expound upon a system that feels to give players more direct control over their own avatar and integrate with the game world.
So when I ask and when I hold aspects of the game suspect, it is because I feel it does not serve to expand the game as a world, as something that you can feel is living apart from your own input, nor let you leave your own impression upon that world.
So for the game to be 'like Skyrim' it can't simply be catering to superficial aspects like 'I click my mouse to swing'.
That is not something unique to Skyrim. That does not set the game apart nor does it advance the quality of it past it's predecessors.
And then there is the aspect of what is called 'like Skyrim' that very simply isn't like that game at all.
Equipment for example.
The distinction equipment has in SKyrim is that it has non-armor clothing, light armor, and heavy armor. There are preset forms of equipment that give bonuses, like all the mage robes. These are all enchantments though.
At it's core, equipment is generic. In a sense that's as it should be. Something that has a few baseline distinctions, but beyond that is a mouldable part of your repertoire.
You don't wear the mage robes forever, you disenchant them so you can apply that bonus to something else, quite often proper armor in the long run until you get artifacts that your prefer.
It's malleable is the point. The gear does not define you, you define the gear. This in turn feeds back to your ability to tailor your character to a fine point.
That's not what I just got told is in TESO. So I can conclude that it is not like Skyrim in that regard. At it's most basic level, yes it bears similarity, but there is nothing past that depth.
It seems many things take this route as well. You can explore the world and experiance it as you would Skyrim. but that's because they isolate it from the rest of the game world. They phase every aspect and make it so you feel individual and precious at every moment.
This I can say neither feel like Skyrim nor does it feel like Elder Scrolls. At the very least not what I have ever sought to get out of the games. Do we play characters of central import in the games? Technically, yes. But are we the only ones? Far from.
Think about the two titles before Skyrim. In Oblivion and Morrowind both you achieve your fame not by right, but by novelty. In Morrowind more so than Oblivion you start out as a hapless git simply swept into the machinations of that era. In Oblivion you have a bit of divine intervention that lets you become the hero by assisting another in achieving their birthright to save the people.
Taking a step back though and looking at the narrative, you should note that this was done by achieving certain goals and then being recognized for them. It's not always strict predestination (technically it is because it's the core plot and conclusion of the game, but its wirtten as if you have a hand in your own rise to glory).
That is something I think they could and should have done. If a person wants to be the hero of the era, then they step up and become it. What we get instead is effectively an entire subsection of the world suddenly getting their souls taken and now they all on the same quest to become the same thing.
That right there betrays what I consider not only a core aspect of Skyrim, but of the entirety of Elder Scrolls. It's no longer a world. It's a road. It might have plenty of forks and nice rest stops to admire the scenery, but I can not simply veer left into nothing and stumble my way into an emergent masterpiece. Only setpieces. Props that I'm all too aware are artificial and I can trust to be the same when I return.
This isn't to call TESO a bad game. Indeed there may be plenty of general ways in which it is similar to Skyrim as a game.
But I do not care for Skyrim alone as a game. I still play that title and past elder scrolls games because of the worlds that have and can develop. I care for Elder Scrolls as a series, as a technology, and as an ideal of innovation. Even if there are things people find underwhelming about the titles, be it the combat or the bugs steer them off, I remain fascinated by the potential of what makes the games tick and how we can build upon that each generation.
When that is taken away, it is no longer Elder Scrolls in anything but name, and there are other skill based action RPGs out there.
I want it's world. That, TESO does not have.
EDIT: I know I didn't expound upon skills or combat much, but it follows a silimar vein that you noted yourself more or less. Core aspects that pull from the previous title, but then mixed among other aspects that are not the same at a fundamental level beyond the general semblance.

What you say about gear, well depends on how they make the game.
If they do gear like daoc, its very much how you describe in TES, daoc isn't a gear driven game, it has gear progression but its a much shallower slope than in EQ or modern mmos.
Of course they could go the wow route and ruin the game with "l33tepix". Guess its a wait and see.

They haven't shown any demo of the game or any solid combat and yet this game has been in development for some time now. It just makes you wonder how solid the game is really going to be.

Iarð skal rifna, ok upphiminn.
Yeah I remember gear crafting in DAoC. I was relatively happy with the concept behind how that worked for the game, thoug the process they used was rather tedious.
It's never particularly been a foreign concept in games. Functionally, you are breaking equipment down into it's basic gear. Physically what the thing 'is'. Every other bonus is it's own thing. Something you add to that gear to tailor how it serves you in the end.
I've generally always preferred that concept and that is probably why I am partial to the way Elder Scrolls has always provided it's gear. Even when you couldn't craft the basic gear yourself, you were still given the means to do all the tailoring and fine tuning.
Other titles have swung close recently. Suprisingly some of the more remarkable instances coming from the shooter genre with the likes of Borderlands, Loadout, and Blacklight all having weapons that have a core component defining the gun's function, then all the changeable parts that alter it's performance and potential effects.
It's certainly soething that caters well to nonlinear progression as well. Allowing for improvement by finding specialized components or materials to refine your equipment with that way it's more about building a set of equipment that's truly personal to you rather than being a cloned batch of 'epic gear'.
EDIT: To Sovrath
Entirely eclectic. I have a habit of collecting mods and then making my own things built over them more often than anything else. For the most part I like uaing or adding in things that adds activity to the game. Economy mods, shop mods, etc.
Part of why I love Real Time Settler so much.
As for things I personally release. That's pretty much nonexistant. I'm not a very outgoing person and I don't tend to reach out to other modders about stuff, so I keep my stuff to myself unless someone asks me about them.
I'm an artist more than a programmer though, so while I know and fuss with code, my own stuff is less likely to be big on that as much as it is integrating a bunch of other mods together or personalizing stuff.

In fact quite a few things in daoc are similar to tes.
Low fantasy setting
Full open seamless world
Meaningful and important crafting
No instancing
Player housing.
The big differences are 3 factions and classes.
Unfortunately it looks like they are adding wow though with instanced dungeons & raids and what have you.
I think if they genuinely made a tes themed "daoc 2" but where you picked one of 3 imperial houses to join rather than being.born into a faction and had a tsw / eve style progression system rather than classes. That would make a great mmo and be close to tes single player.
But it doesnt look that way, looks like they panicked and decided to add some wow into the mix. Which I kinda see why, with such a big project.

"See how I reward those who fail me!"
All AAA theme park MMOs after WoW didn't turn out like a lot of us wanted them to. I don't think anyone is "afraid" of TESO. But I think a lot of people are sceptical. Truth is, we don't know all that much about the game yet, but in a lot of ways it doesn't look that much different than past failures.
I'd love for it to turn out to be the greatest MMO ever, but I'll believe it if I see it. (Maybe)

People like WoW not because it's an MMO but because it was innovative (well copied the innovative parts from other games and make it popular). Before then MMOs was a niche market, WoW just became the mascot for the genre.
It's naive to believe that after so many attempts to copy wow's success that this time would be different. It's time for another game to take MMOs to the next level and they are not going to do that by doing the same thing over and over.

We'll see how this changes when the sandbox game that is EQNext comes out and compare it to the rest of the themeparks out there. It will be nice to have a sandbox out there that isn't Eve, but I seriously doubt any sandbox will ever garner the widespread appeal that well made themeparks do.

This toy was hardly played with
posted 7 years ago
My GSD was interested in this when she was a puppy. She was a little scared of it, but would bravely approach it and sniff it and sometimes barked when it rattled as it rolled away.
The rattle is very loud.
This toy is a hard plastic ball with a vinyl/rubber outside that is heavy. My puppy couldn't pick it up.
Now that my dogs are full grown, they don't play with this toy at all. It has gotten dirty, and the dirt doesn't come off from the outer rubber/vinyl part. Over time, it got sticky feeling so I decided to toss it in the trash.
I think some dogs might like this toy. Mine didn't seem to care for it. Perhaps the rattling was too loud.
Pros: Rattling noise
Cons: Heavy

9 out of 13 people found this instruction helpful
Removing the old unit was easy enough, just loosened two screws that attach unit to side of freezer and disconnected the wiring harness. But the new unit never goes in quite as easily because it's always just a little different from the original. In this case, the wiring ended up being about six inches longer and the excess had to be stuffed behind a shield at the rear of the unit. Theoretically, the wire could have been pushed back through the opening, but it got jammed and wouldn't go. I had to remove side rails and pry the shield forward in order to get the wiring back out of the way. The unit is a narrow side by side, so there wasn't a lot of room to move around. But it wasn't difficult, just tedious. I had to make sure the wiring did not come into contact with the heating element at the bottom of the icemaker. Once installed it worked great.

In Vivo Manipulation of Intracellular Signalling Pathways

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Manipulation of intracellular signalling pathways and ligand protein interactions can lead to new therapeutic strategies in many cardiovascular diseases. One of the most commonly used methods, performed on different disease models of rat, is the microinjection of various agonist and antagonists of ligand and proteins into specific regions of the brain that are implicated in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. This chapter will describe a detailed step-by-step method for manipulation of intracellular signalling pathways in specific regions of the rat brainstem. In this method, the rostral ventrolateral medulla, an area of the brainstem which is essential for sympathetic activity and blood pressure, is studied with regard to the cyclic adenosine 3′-5′-monophosphate pathway. With this method, a more detailed interpretation of the physiological state of the rat in vivo can be achieved.

BusinessWeek Blurs Line Between Advertising And Editorial
The concept of advertorials is not new.
I'm sure if the early publishers of the Bible accepted advertising, we would have seen pitches for flint stones packaged as psalms.
Fast-forwarding to today, it stands to reason that the never-ending economic pressures on publishers causes them to wade further into the gray area in exchange for revenue.
Still, the November 22-28 Bloomberg BusinessWeek issue crosses the line in my view.
Take a look at the full-page ad from the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) - conceivable that the government agency, Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan, threw in a few dollars – that appeared in BusinessWeek.
For a larger view, click here.
Yes, I can see the word "Advertisement" in 18-point type at the top of the page.
But why would you allow an advertiser to mimic the editorial package of the annual Interbrand study with its very own Interbrand study? More to the point, why would you allow an advertiser to take a shot at deceiving the readership that the content comes from BusinessWeek journalists?
Perhaps BusinessWeek figured designing the lines justified left and right instead of BusinessWeek's customary ragged right would keep the reader from straying into delusions of journalism. By the way, I wonder if BW forced TAITRA to set its own type. Those word gaps are unsightly indeed.
To the credit – or discredit depending on your point of view - TAITRA crafts sophisticated copy using the quotes from Julian Barrans, MD of Interbrand Singapore, to make subjective claims like:
Such encouraging progress clearly indicates that Taiwan's top brands are now becoming real challenges on the world stage.
Ironically, TAITRA presents the Interbrand study in a more journalistically true state on its website:
Note TAITRA doesn't include the companies' logos or the puff company descriptions.
Back to the big picture -
Great business storytelling should be both authentic and transparent.
I have nothing against storytelling in ads.
Heck, some of my best friends are ad copywriters.
And I've made the point in a previous post that advertising gets the power of narrative more than other forms of communications, including PR.
But I also think media properties should make it easy for the reader to understand if information comes from a journalist, a third party or a paid source.
This is getting tougher to discern, particularly online.
What do you think?
Much ado about nada?
Would welcome hearing your perspectives.3 comments

I agree…I think people forget that we love to buy…you don't have to hide promotion and branding…just make it interesting….one of the best storyteller ad copywriters was Joseph Sugerman….his stories made products so interesting that he didn't need to hide the fact that it was an ad….in other words, I agree you have to be upfront about your intentions otherwise the reader figures out halfway through and then gets annoyed….an advertorial is just a way of trying to use the format of the newspaper to make readers think it is interesting….a better strategy is to actually say something interesting.
Lou Hoffman November 30th, 2010 9:19 am
I particularly like your closing point–
"… a better strategy is to actually say something interesting."
Which brings us back to storytelling techniques.

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a
lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that,
this is great blog. A great read. I'll certainly be back.

In the past as soon as I turn the computer on, the 'On' button illuminates and I hear the fan kick in. Now I get no obvious response for at least 5 min - sometimes up to 20!
My computer is not slow when it starts to boot up, but from when I press the 'On' button it can take up to 20 minutes before there is any sign of any attempt to even try to boot.
Any ideas please?

does it have its own power supply? if not that will put extra load on the PSU

It could be that the BIOS is examining and scanning the external hard drive so it would be wise to try to boot up with the external hard drive disconnected and see if your boot time is significantly reduced.

Should have added check in the BIOS that your external hard drive is not listed as the FIRST boot device.

In fact with your USB external drives powered-on, open the BIOS and look under Boot order. If any USB device is listed, disable it. If you ever need to boot from a USB device you can always change it back.

it may be getting ready for a new power supply. have you been fitting extra hardware like more hard drives, graphics card etc

If you're happy working inside 'the box', I'd pull out the main 20/24 pin mobo connector and then use a bent paper clip to short pin 14 to 15 (that's green to black - any black will do). The fans should spin straight away (you're just replicating the front switch). If there is no immediate response, then I'd suspect the PSU. If there is, then the front switch or the wiring could be at fault.

As Woodchip said in the first reply, I would now go along with his diagnosis that a new power supply is needed.

Thanks for your reply. I have attached a separately powered external hard drive that is permanently connected for automatic backups. Could that be it?

Many thanks. I will give it a go and let you know what happens tomorrow.

I checked BIOS and there is no USB listed in the boot up list.
Also I went to disconnect my external hard drive only to find that my son had already done so at some time *(I've not been backing up for a while!), so there has been no interference from this.
Now the computer no longer seems to boot automatically even after waiting. I turn it on - nothing happens - I leave it for 15 minutes - nothing - press 'on' again and it kicks in like you would have expected with the first push of the 'On' button.
CONFUSED - I am!

The borough's leaf collection machine, which has been the work horse in the borough's annual leaf collection, has been out of service since the first day of collection, said Roger Steele, chairman of the Public Works Committee, at Tuesday's meeting.
Steele said Public Works crews have been utilizing the borough's street sweeper as the only viable piece of equipment that can be used for leaf collection.
WALSTON — Wednesday, the Young Township Board of Supervisors approved a new five-year agreement with Punxsutawney Borough for fire protection services through the Punxsutawney Fire Department.
The agreement was approved for five years with the township paying the borough $15,500 for 2012; $16,000 for 2013; $16,500 for 2014; $17,000 for 2015; $17,500 for 2016; and the township will pay 100
percent of any Fireman's Relief Association funds it recovers during the contract to the borough.

OK, i have a "broken family" and it is taking a HUGE toll on me. My dad is mean and he says to get over it, and my mom thinks i'm being dramatic. My dad has committed domestic violence! He's cheated!
How can i NOT be affected????
I started cutting myself and my parents found out this year. I convinced them that it was just last year-and they believed me.
But it wasn't just last year, it was this year too, and it was/is WAY worse than last year.
I don't want to make myself some freak in my family and make it even more broken, but then i don't get any help.

I have to deal with IBS and hypohydrosis(excessive sweating EW) since last year. What should I do?
I smell so bad wherever I go, and people always back away, but don't say anything. even my parents say 'I'm thinking that in my brain.' Mental problems? Nope. I don't.
To make situations worse, I have sweating too, and have to apply deo. like, 10 times a day.(Exaggerating) but people smell it one way or another.
I used to be the most cleanest person on earth, but I'm like sooo bad now. What should I do?

I go see a social worker. I was on the road to being anorexic and my parents didn't want that, so I've been going to see someone for about 6 months now and it's not as bad as people think. It's actually really good and helpful. If you guys are scared, don't be. Things MUCH worse could happen if you don't get help.

Microsoft in Education Blog
By Jacqueline Russell, Surface Education Manager. This post is also featured on the Surface blog.
Share via:
We have other customers who have committed to Surface Pro 3, but CCDS is the first school to adopt Surface Pro 3 as their 1:1 student computing device. When I sat down to talk to Rob about his vision and philosophy around technology in Education, he spoke about 3 things - the importance and value of reading and writing to the way students learn, their focus on the creative process, and giving teachers and students technology tools that are versatile enough to support whatever they want to do. When I asked him why he chose the Surface Pro 3 for CCDS, he told me that it was the first no-compromise device that met all 3 of his criteria:
I had heard from many Education Experts and Advisors that ultimately, the device doesn't really matter - it's more about the web, apps and the digital learning content available. So, at the end of our conversation, I challenged Rob with this notion, and his response was, "Sure, the device doesn't matter… until you have the wrong device and can't do what you want with it. Then it really matters." You can watch more about why Cincinnati Country Day School chose Surface Pro 3 here:
And read more about what Rob Baker from Cincinnati Country Day School told Education Week about Surface Pro 3 here .
i just want to use iLit, eText, TestNav 8 applications soon in my windows 8, i like Microsoft and I hope these softwares will do some transformation in education soon which i am looking for...

Tapeleg of Jerseys and Hockey Love shot me off an email today and I thought KK readers would have an interest in it too. We will be adding the link to the KK Hockey Links page too.
I just finished editing a new site, and put it online. It's a contact list for hockey teams throughout North America, along with the IIHF. It has contact info for all the teams in the NHL, AHL, ECHL, CHL, IHL, SPHL, USHL, NAHL, and the Canadian Junior leagues (OHL, WHL, and QMJHL). I did it because I am always needing an address or a phone number, then I figured it would be a good resource for others, and decided to make it public. Each individual contact page has a link to Google Maps, leading to the individual team's arenas.

Maybe They Just Don't Know What They Are Talking About
by Paul on 03/05/08 at 04:55 PM ET

from Rand Simon at the Hockey News,
Dumbest thing heard on the radio recently (non-Rush Limbaugh division): "Look at Steve Yzerman, he hadn't done a thing by the time he was 28"—Toronto-based sports radio host….
The reality is that by his 28th birthday, Yzerman already had a career worthy of Hall of Fame induction with 1,040 career points to his credit in 757 games. Compare that to Cam Neely who is in the Hall of Fame with 694 career points in 726 career games. (Interestingly, Yzerman also played in exactly 757 games after turning 28 and had 715 points in those games.)
Anyway, it was just another example of why I find it so frustrating to listen to sports talk radio.

Growing up in Las Vegas, Hickory Crawdads third baseman Drew Robinson said he lived a normal life growing up.
Now, the 20-year-old is pursuing his dream and following in his brother's footsteps at the minor league level.
To read more of this story, pick up the Friday edition of Catawba County's community newspaper, The Observer News Enterprise, at newsstands throughout the county.

CHARLOTTE — Jimmie Johnson's No. 48 pit crew got its revenge.
Johnson's team won the NASCAR Sprint Pit Crew Challenge on Thursday night, avenging last year's loss in the finals to Denny Hamlin's No. 11 team.
Hamlin's team was the two-time defending champions coming into the event and cruised into the finals again this year, but lost to Johnson's team by three-tenths of a second.

About a month before UPA tenure ends, the government is making efforts to put in place the structure of the anti-corruption body Lokpal.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is planning to convene a meeting of the Lokpal Selection committee on April 27 or 28. Sources said the two dates are being considered in view of convenience of its members, including the Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj who is busy campaigning in her Lok Sabha constituency Vidisha in Madhya Pradesh.
Besides the Prime Minister, the Selection committee includes Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, the Speaker, the Chief Justice of India or his representative and a prominent jurist. The committee had met once in February during which Swaraj expressed her opposition to the nomination of jurist P P Rao as one of the members of the panel, alleging he has been a Congress loyalist.
Sources said the government is keen to complete the process of setting up the Lokpal before it demits office, failing which its seriousness on the issue would be questioned. If Swaraj has any objections, those would be recorded, they said.
The process of setting up the anti-corruption watchdog following enactment of the law in January has run into rough weather as the government and the opposition have been locked in a confronation over its members.
