So I uninstalled the game. xD

So I tried The Elder Scrolls: Battlespire.
I made my character and class, spawned into the world, tried to figure out the controls, figured out the arrow keys move you, accidentally walked off a cliff, fell into lava, died, it restarted the game, and it didn't make a save after character creation.

Oh no! D: I hope you feel better!
If it ends up being covid and you get that "razor throat" symptom like I did, I got it to go away with chamomile tea with honey, and Fisherman's Friend menthol cough drops!

Most Daedric runes on scrolls or engraved into enchanted equipment are just the relevant copyright information or serial numbers.

Shoddy oblivion themed image of a landscape with a guard, an oblivion gate, giant opaque hot dog man, an amogus, jarl balgruuf duck, Razum Dar, a pickup truck, and a white bordered dremora image. Text says "AI CAN JEVER REPLICATE HOW FUCKIN NG STUPID I AM"

You are frozen in fear from your phobia of nautical-themed, family-friendly, seafood restaurants.

A screenshot of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, of the player looking down at two mud crabs, which look like large tan, brown, and red crabs. They are standing on grass while the player is looking down at them while holding a silver dagger. The player's arms is that of an Argonian's (Humanoid lizard person) and has brown scales, with lighter tan and light orange scales on the palms. Their arm is in a fancy blue shirt's sleeve. There is a faint coloration of blood on the grass beneath the crabs.

Many people will not offer you quests if you are coated in a thick layer of mustard.

I have learned a thing! :D
So, as you may know, I noticed a while ago that classic Oblivion's UI font is a 125% horizontally stretched out version of the font "Kingthing's Petrock", but with custom "E", "G", and "g" characters. Apparently, the "E" and "g" are from the font "Morris Roman". :D

My friend and Oblivion Loading Screens co-joke-writer, Blau, is once again in need to help to make a few bill payments while she takes care of her mother who is dealing with nerve issues after beating leukemia.
Any help or boosts would be appreciated.

Oh yeah. Skyrim's UI font, or fonts that look almost like it, are fairly common. But yeah, I mainly focus on Oblivion, but I occasionally make stuff and talk about some of the other games as well. :)

Force-feeding unwanted shoes to Spriggans is considered a rite of passage in Skingrad.

Some mages have written spell tomes that teach an alternate copy of the Turn Undead spell that rotates the undead target 180 degrees once.
