Francis Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 ESO is six months away and there isn't anything interesting left to do while waiting for it. I'm already wasting away. I can't stop thinking about my in-progress medieval fantasy novel and I've just started dreaming in Nordic. I wish there was an Elder Scrolls movie being made. I'm in dire need of a good movie fix. And I don't just mean any kind of movie. I need to see one with an atmosphere of wanderlust, faraway lands, weary travelers, world-worn heroes and damsel sidekicks with deep-seated issues...

David Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Eh, video game movies are usually terrible and I can't really think of any exceptions off of the top of my head. I'm definitely struggling to make it to release, though. I need my TES fix. At least we have ESO instead of the usual 5+ years between the main installments of TES.

Yeah, I thought the same thing about movie adaptations of books too. But then I was proved wrong by Fight Club. The film was better than the book by a mile. And, true, it's great we're getting an online ES. I've never been one to geek out about games, but I have actually finished every single Shoddycast video about ESO on Youtube in anticipation. And, David, did you know there's two Elder Scrolls novels out there? I just found out. Been too busy lately to read them though. How's that sound for a fix?

How's that sound for a fix? I didn't know that. That's definitely interesting, but it's also not really my thing. I have a backlog of too many classic / acclaimed books to start reading books based in the TES lore. The games are the only thing that fix my, er, fix.

But classicness be damned, if a story or writing style doesn't immediately captivate you, and reading something starts to feel like a chore, you should just put the book down.As for me, I'll be reading the TES books regardless whether they're good or not. Gotta satisfy my TES hard-on someho-- I mean, get a fix. Yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 We had a topic where we all put together a casting of a movie based on Skyrim. That was a lot of fun. But yeah, ES games are my only fix. Not that I'd be totally against an Elder Scrolls movie, it is just that I doubt if one was made, it'd be good or do the series justice. The only good video game movie I've seen is Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva.

I want a film, dammit. And I figured those impossible acrobatics executed by the nightblade could be explained as him having Nocturnal's blessings, so no worries. Oh, and I checked the thread out. I thought about it long and hard. I vote Jim Carrey as Sheogorath....And nobody's worthy enough to play Serana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
