Woke up this morning with a strange word in my brain... Silgrad.
Where the hell have I seen that word? On a map? Maybe on the internet?
That doesn't even sound like a real place... what the f...
Then I realized what it was, and I looked this forum up. WOW.
Most of you probably don't remember me, and well, truthfully, I might not remember you. Years ago I imagined I'd be able to help lead a modding project to create the Black Marsh in TES4 Oblivion. Hell, I even thought I could make Vvardenfell. If anyone knew the ins and outs of the maps, the NPCs, and the lore - it was me. Goddamn, it seems almost like another life-time ago. I can't remember 99% of this stuff no more....
Quite honestly, I failed. All the conceptualizing, drawing, talking, etc. didn't seem to make much progress. Much of my ideas, though creative and interesting, were overly ambitious, unimplementable, or just not top priority. I lacked the organizational, leadership, and executive skills I have now as well as maturity and wisdom. I did not have the finances to even buy a better PC! In my defense, I was constantly working throughout that time (highschool) to pay for college. That has been a very very difficult task, but I'm doing alright currently.
I left behind half-completed ideas, a somewhat disorganized forum, and the foundations of something that could be great. I hope whatever concepts I've left behind have been useful and not too hard to implement. Feel free to scrap, use, or change anything I've envisioned - it's your project. I'mma give ya'll thumbs up for the effort. Keep it up!
