That Skyrim one is too easy now. :whistling:

And the vampire one... That question about what damage they take? The comment on the answer "There's no holy school in TES", which is true, but in Daggerfall vampires DID take damage from temples and shrines and other holy places.

That was actually quite fun, though there were alot of times i had to guess :rolleyes:

» Sun May 29, 2011 1:29 pm

90% on Skyrim, and only because I made a slight oops on the last question.

» Sun May 29, 2011 1:55 pm

Oh man, completely forgot this existed.

» Sun May 29, 2011 7:58 am

Cyrodiil = 90.
Skyrim = 80.

I remembered the number of septims from last time we had this thread functional

Dunmeri - http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/quizreport.php?title=culture-vvardenfell&sid=MTMyNjIzNjI= (i put like 8 million hours into morrowind so i'd hope thats the result. I guessed on the Hlaalu guard armor though)
Vampires - http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/quizreport.php?title=vampires-in-elder-scrolls&sid=MTMyNjI0Mjg= (not even an A-!)

EDIT:

Spoiler

Vampires do take holy damage in Daggerfall too though, if they walk into a temple or certain fighters guilds. so i REALLY got a 100%

I like how most of the "Obscure Lore" quiz is from Shadowkey.

» Sun May 29, 2011 9:00 pm

oh, i just made http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/story.php?title=enantiomorphic-relationships but it's on a very specific subject

» Sun May 29, 2011 3:35 pm

Bleh, I think "the world ended" is a perfectly legitimate answer to that last question.

» Sun May 29, 2011 4:28 pm

Oh! This topic! And my poll!

And I spotted an error in it already...

"How many sons did Uriel have?"

Which Uriel? And if I change it all the results will dissapear! Damn! For those who wonder im talking about Uriel VII there.
Should I change it? :/

(Also, the Enantiomorph thing is wickedly hard! Not that I have dared to try and understand much of that stuff, most of it is gibberish to me... Hurrah for feeling stupid!)

Got a 71. 5 out of 7.

I would have gotten the last one right, but forgot what it was called. I knew the event, but not the name.

Hurrah, I got 100.

I also managed 100 on Skyrim (duh) Valenwood (impressed myself!) Religion, Culture of Vvardenfell, and Cyrodiil.
I didn't do at all badly on Vampires and Obscure lore.

However, I didn't even pass Septims and Geography. :confused:

Got a 92 on religion and metaphysics.

I still don't think Y'ffre and Kynareth are the same.

» Sun May 29, 2011 9:38 am

Spoiler

Yeah, I'd say calling Kynareth and Y'ffre the same is a stretch. Because Kyne and Tava seem to lack a nature bend completely.

By what do you mean when you say "nature"?
Kyne is the God of Wind, after all. That's pretty natural to me.

Trees and the like.

Spheres overlap, but it doesn't mean they are the same. Mara and Dibella are both love Goddesses, but are a different kind of love.

Spoiler

And besides, Y'ffre is an Earthbone, but Kyne is not. Or at least doesn't seem to be.

They aren't the same, they have different souls and are different Et' ada. However i couldn't think of any Bosmeri name for Kyne, and I remembered the discussion about it a few pages back.

Oh man, completely forgot this existed.

You should make a updated one just for Skyrim :wink:

Heh. Forgot all about this. It's been over a year.

Spoiler

The holy damage only affected the Daggerfall style vampires. In Morrowind and Oblivion it didn't. So technically by amount of games my answer is correct. I worded it to trip people up hehe.55% got #6 right.

I guess I made it more difficult than I thought.

The 7th was supposed to be extremely difficult – in fact that 'fact' isn't blatantly stated anywhere.

The fifth: i didn't specify WHICH mannimarco, but i was referring to the one that is the Necromancer's moon

I would have gotten the 7th right if I remembered what it was called. I was like "of course!" when I saw the answer.

I answered with

Spoiler

Dawn Era. I knew Shor stopped being King after he got his heart ripped out, I just forgot what it was called.

A few people got it right.

Spoiler

Although the dawn Era started with Convention, so you were kinda right. I added points to your quiz.

IIRC, the question about Yffre and Kyne wasn't stating that they were equivalents, just that they filled similar niches in the pantheon (that of the nature god).

EDIT:http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/story.php?title=dragon-breaks

80%, missed number 3.

Spoiler

1 - I would bet CHIM helps as well
3 - No idea what any of the answers have to do with the reason, which is that its a giant stompy robot god made to break time. Its not used for ascension, has nothing to do with mantling, and walkabout is a different concept entirely.

Got an 80 (I think) on the Dragon Break quiz.

Spoiler

well you can use the Numidum to Mantle Lorkhan (what Talos did), and Ascenion and the Walkabout – both meaning transcending Mundas and the cycle of kalpas – have been achieved via the Numidium, by both Talos (tiber, Zurin Arctus, and Wulfheart) AND Mannimarco. Your answer (either "Don't know" or "Mantella") isn't really an answer.
