Arena

Argonian dream
Jagar Tharn evaporates
Fourteen artefacts to go

Daggerfall

I hate Daggerfall
Broken quests and broken plot
Restart or delete?

Battlespire

Dark clouds cover sky
Rain falls uncontrollably
Secrets never known

Redguard

Leaping and duelling
Girls of dubious virtue
Could this be heaven?

Morrowind

Caius Cosades
A man with laundry problems
New quest: Buy Persil

Where was the wrong syllable? was it in daggerfall (I thought that daggerfall was 2 syllables) ? if it is, I'll change it in an edit!

edit...

yeh like when you speak it "Dag-ger-fall" so the dag-ger part is two syllables. By the same extension i think XP is also two syllables? its difficult with modern lettering(esp tech related) to break it down to correct grammer. Nice Edit by the way

excellent music
makes Daggerfall atmosphere
no music less joy

Thanks @Mushroomhead88 for the nice remarks on my 'Bethesda plea' haiku

Daggerfall:

Entering Dungeon,
Dark, cold, damp, large, scarey sounds
How Do I get out?

Morrowind:

Castle Solstheim
My Fortress, My own Daggerfall
For I am the King

Out of the dungeon
Beautiful skies in the twilight
Wind blows the tree tops

For I fail at poetry
So late in the dark of night
So it's off to sleep ('night all for tonight

)

(Wow, I svck.)

No that was pretty good i thought

Arnie look alikes.
series saga begins here,
Arena dungeon

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 6:42 pm

A thing I've done too many times:
Bottom of dark pit.
Quest fulfilled. Time to Recall,
but forgot anchor!

Thanks, it's the last sentence of the first one I couldn't seem to get right.

The goblins are creepy,
Over here, the rats are grotesque,
What the heck is that!?

My first experience with an enemy Nightblade in Arena.

Dungeon descends deep
Loot wonderfull treasure keep
Pray monster not eat

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 10:31 pm

I will not hunt herbs
Nor find your lost atronach
Let me guard the tranced.

That's bloody great. Sums up my feelings, too.

The sound does not work
Properly, without breaking up
I wish I had 98

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 8:41 pm

this is cool. Let me do one.

accidently press
rest for a while now guards
pop out and I jump

that was wack, let me try another one.

It's twenty o'clock
out side of daggerfall I
hear this " VENGEANCE!"

"The sound does not work
Properly, without breaking up
I wish I had 98"

SO true! LOL.

accidently press

pop out and I jump

That is SO ANNOYING! I hate it when I do that :bonk:

And it's counterpart, another thing I do a lot:

Hello, townsperson!
"you are not successful..." what?
Dang, I'm in steal mode!

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 5:34 pm

Fatigue has run out,
Is that good, or is that not?
So is stamina full?

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 7:25 pm

"Hello, townsperson!

Dang, I'm in steal mode!"

ROTF...YES I do that too! man thats annoying.

Fatigue has run out,
Is that good, or is that not?
So is stamina full?

lol!

Here's one from Arena. It's almost impossible to leave the starter dungeon without experiencing this one:

Wounded, cannot sleep.
Cries of "Eulig!" down the hall.
Goblins want my blood.

No, I shan't take this
Package to invalid ID
What is wrong with you?

An Altmer named Cheese
Fights with three flame atronachs
They have Cheese on toast

I love this thread.

Guarding the transed mage
Swing hits nightblades and front door
Halt, here come the guards

Blocking my escape
"Zooo, Zooo" cries the Ancient Dead
There is no hope now

Playing in XP
I see a wraith in the room
Quick, let me save--damn

I'm toting thousands
of k.g.? I thought I had
letters of credit

So you got your horse
inside a dungeon? Nice job;
now try and get off

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 10:23 pm

Install Arena,
Dosbox saves the day again,
Past Games fun for all.

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 7:26 pm

Daggerfall is a great
Big, buggy, ass with a lot
Of flies crawling in

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 10:04 pm

Enchanter at last!
And now the Item Maker,
You were worth it all.

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 10:59 am

Skeleton behind
I jump at his cries-save now
to late he struck me

» Thu Sep 02, 2010 1:16 am

In the Dragontails
Reigns master of Scrourg Barrow,
Fear his Zombie Post.
