You did terrible things to avenge the murder of someone you loved. The fiend is still inside you, but now you try to keep it locked away. You burned the book, but its words and images are burned into your psyche.Ī fiend possessed you as a child. You opened an eldritch tome and saw things unfit for a sane mind. You escaped, but the hag still has a magical hold over you and fills your mind with evil thoughts. You are now haunted by the innocents you slaughtered.Ī hag kidnapped and raised you. You were cursed with lycanthropy and later cured. You dabbled once and felt something horrible clutch at your soul, whereupon you fled in terror.Īn oni took your sibling one cold, dark night, and you were unable to stop it. Your family has a history of practicing the dark arts. You don’t know what it wants, and it won’t leave you alone. Sometimes it beckons you in the dead of night.Īn apparition that has haunted your family for generations now haunts you.
You can feel it watching you, coldly and distantly. d10Ī monster that slaughtered dozens of innocent people spared your life, and you don’t know why. Choose a harrowing event that haunts you, or roll one on the Harrowing Events table.
Now you feel a darkness threatening to consume you, and you fear there may be no hope of escape. Prior to becoming an adventurer, your path in life was defined by one dark moment, one fateful decision, or one tragedy. Above all, please never cry.Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures And this soft world that conveniently grows weaker or stronger as you do, so you never get frustrated and cry. A true hero you will be! Fear not, my friend, for the dragon will be conveniently low-level just for you, the most speshul snowflake in the whole world. The only glimpses of good stuff are coming from Morrowind.īut if you want to satisfy a power fantasy instead of facing a true game and a true challenge, by all means go play Skyrim and kill a dragon when you are level 3. There's nothing in them worth remembering, no Ghostfence, no Ministry of Truth, no emperor Crab, no Telvanni buildings without stairs (because wizards levitate, get it?), just your stock, forgettable, nondescript sword and sorcery. Morrowind truly built a unique setting with attention to detail, while the later Elder Scrolls were nothing but regurgitated corporate crap. Skyrim looks like the poor man's tourism through Europe. What does realism have to do with anything? I want to see uniqueness, art, things *beyond* our own world. Just look out of the window if you want to see things resembling real trees and mountains. But Muh Polygons!!! Skyrim is zuperkool becouze lookz just like reality!!!!!" Now just purchased Gothic, as it is one of the classic RPGs that made history but I didn't have the chance to play. I played them out of respect for the older games, but I'm done with the series. Even the music was self-plagiarized from Morrowind. Skyrim and Oblivion are hichhiking simulators that capture you just like a lab rat is captured, and if you have any kind of intelligence you'll feel dirty about having wasted hours upon such a bland and uninteresting generic fantasy with no challenge, no interesting story or characters whatsoever, nothing to remember.
