Strange... I got to question 8 or 9 and was given no options except to submit my answer. I assumed they were blank questions and kept clicking to submit... until I hit question "11 of 10."

edit: It says the quiz was attempted 1 time (me?) and that the average score is 100%... so I got 100% correct?

» Sat May 28, 2011 2:40 pm

Nine out of ten.

» Sat May 28, 2011 2:48 pm

quiz 1 only missed the question about bendu olo

Quiz 2 10/10 correct

» Sat May 28, 2011 12:18 pm

I got 90%.

I think I messed up the question about the end of the Second Empire - I probably misread as Second Era.

i had to make some minor changes to the quiz, you might have taken it in between the old and new version.

new quiz up, this one is even easier than the first. i'll get to some harder stuff later

Please do - Great thread by the way, I chuckled when I saw it.

I got 8 out of 10 on the Cyrodiil quiz (Missed Bendo Olo and missread the question about the 2nd Era... thought it asked about the END of the second era

)
Only got 7 out of 10 on the geography. (Never even heard of Orcrest or the river Thir. Missing the Dragontail Mountains was stupid on my part

)

» Sat May 28, 2011 7:13 am

yea i wouldn't have know of orcrest either if i hadn't have been there this week in arena.

http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/story.php?title=tamrielic-religion, its on religion, mythology, and metaphysics, covering a little bit of just about everything. i fully expect it to kick your butt :evil:

Got 100 on the first quiz and 90 on the second (Where the Hell is the River Thir?) About to take the third

» Sat May 28, 2011 10:37 am

okay, perfect for #1, though had to think a bit for the two of them.
As for #2 had to guess on 2, still got them right

, but was too hasty for the last one and missed a place that was in other places. 9/10
perfect on #3, save for my misspelling on the question

Spoiler

of the Dreamsleave :facepalm:

Guessed on that one, lucky I was right that it was Morrowind. Looks like I'm not the only one who fell asleep during the "Rivers of Tamriel" lesson

would you be so kind as to edit out or spoiler mark the answers in your post? don't want anyone inadvertently cheating.

so far it looks like we know our esoteric MKspeak better than we know our basic facts

Come on! Y'ffre is a completly different Et'Ada from Kyne ( I think)

Let me check the Imperial Library

Most important deity of the Bosmeri pantheon. While Auri-El Time Dragon might be the king of the gods, the Bosmer revere Y'ffre as the spirit of 'the now'. According to the Wood Elves, after the creation of the mortal plane everything was in chaos. The first mortals were turning into plants and animals and back again. Then Y'ffre transformed himself into the first of the Ehlnofey, or 'Earth Bones'. After these laws of nature were established, mortals had a semblance of safety in the new world, because they could finally understand it. Y'ffre is sometimes called the Storyteller, for the lessons he taught the first Bosmer. Some Bosmer still possess the knowledge of the chaos times, which they can use to great effect (the Wild Hunt).

Versus

Kynareth is a member of the Eight Divines, the strongest of the Sky spirits. In some legends, she is the first to agree to Lorkhan's plan to invent the mortal plane, and provides the space for its creation in the void. She is also associated with rain, a phenomenon said not to occur before the removal of Lorkhan's divine spark.

So... I should have gotten a perfect score...

@DFT, think nature gods.

Quiz 3 i got 10/13 correct

Spoiler

I could have sworn that tamriel was the hub of the wheel and not the planet but i'm no lore expert

» Sat May 28, 2011 12:05 pm

To answer the above post

Spoiler

Tamriel "The Starry Heart" Is the center of Nirn, which is the center of Mundas which is (at least Metaphysically) the center of all existence.

so far it looks like we know our esoteric MKspeak better than we know our basic facts

Considering most topics pretty much revolve around MKspeak, it is very easy to neglect most basic information, especially geometry when there really is only a few amount we need to know or have a general idea.

Enjoying these quizzes a lot. Helps refresh the mind on lore. Should I suspect some general history lessons soon?

Spoiler

Kyne/Kynareth as a very strong nature component, as seen in KotN. in this she overlaps Y'ffre. Though you are right that her wind spirit commerce angle (shown more in the Yoku Tava) is different from him.

Quiz 3 has been edited, as i forgot to add a possible spelling in one of the questions. questions relating to the wheel and to kynareth have also been edited for accuracy. sadly, this has reset the statistics.

» Sat May 28, 2011 8:49 pm

and yea i just realized Mundus would have been a more accurate answer, but going back would reset the quiz.

In your defense, the question felt like it was based on a grander scale of things, the middle portion of the middle is still not the all of the middle.

Geometry? I think that works the same in-game as in real life, expet in-game shapes tend to be made of flat panels for some reason....

GeoGRAPHy is what you mean.

quiz 4, question 1: how many polygons was cyrus' model made from in TESA:Redguard?

to repost: quiz 3 has been edited for accuracy and completabilty. stats have been reset.

» Sat May 28, 2011 2:48 pm

Spoiler

dreamslEEve
