UESP

I am Dwarfmp, a contributor known for his passion for perfection and depth in information, who has climbed his way up to administrator in March 2012.

NPC pages and images are my territory, and I'm not content until I know everything is covered and up to standards. Strict and precise, I intend to bring out the most of these aspects for everyone to enjoy.

Feel free to ask me for advice, or if you have any questions, leave a message on my talk page.

About me
This user is from Belgium. This user is male. 23 This UESPWikian is 23 years, 8 months, and 19 days old. This user is an atheist. This user is a vegetarian. This user knows much, tells some. This user is venturing through the world of Skyrim!
About me

This one is Matthias, a gamer since before I can remember. Having played Oblivion for many, many hours, it is only natural I've stumbled upon these pages. And really, who can refuse to help out with the utopian concept of documenting all the important details of the Elder Scrolls series so professionally? An autist like me certainly can't.

I am a strict vegetarian, proudly refusing to eat anything that has caused death to a fellow creature. Well except for bread and the like, bacteries are... well... something else I suppose.

Race
This user is a Breton and feels kinship with all other races and creatures. This user especially likes Khajiits. This user especially likes Argonians. This user especially likes Nords. This user is fascinated by Golden Saints. This user is fascinated by Dark Seducers. This user is fascinated by Skeletons.
Race

Small, physically inferior, pale, and perhaps even having that "snotty expression", I'd say I was a Breton. Though my favorite race would be Khajiit. The Argonians are in their own way just as awesome as the Khajiit. And Nords? Well being a Belgian, I'm part Nord, am I not? A proud people, who aren't afraid to come up for what they stand for, surely that's something to admire. I wouldn't deny I like all the races, because everyone has their own culture to respect. It is not the race, but the person that appeals to me or not. I would harm those who harm, for that seems justified.

I greatly admire Golden Saints and Dark Seducers. Strong females are quite attractive aren't they? And the humble men follow their superiors, together to form an army to reckon with. An army of pure gold, and an army of pure darkness, rivaling each other into perfection.

Skeletons, stripped of appearances to show all what we really are, how similar we are to one another. They're my favorite summon types. I used to look like one too, very skinny I was, but age and inactivity surely do add some... Well I guess I look quite normal now. Ahem... anyway, nothing looks more deadly than an army of skeletons!

Worship
This user worships Sheogorath. This user worships Nocturnal. This user worships Kynareth. This user worships Mara.
Worship

What's that? An atheist who worships gods? Ridiculous you say? Not quite: these gods actually EXIST! Hah! And who is the greatest of them all? What fool wouldn't worship the Madgod. A madman. Uh... I mean, a BAD madman. Madness is seperated from genius by a very thin line, my friend! Or is it? Sheogorath certainly is a genius... It takes a genius to see that though. Let the masses call them mad, they'll never understand. Apart from that, Sheogorath is onsiderate too, because I don't like cheese, no siree...

Nocturnal, the creator of the Cowl, no doubt the greatest Daedric artifact ever created. Very mysterious, that one. But I know her heart is in the right place.

Kynareth, god of creatures. I'm a creature! So respect your fellow creature, and you will be respected. See how everyone is the same in the end? And Mara? Is she not the goddess of love? You've got to love love, because hating is love to hate. And if you don't love anything at all, you must be a psychopath.

Factions
This user is in the Court of Madness. This user is in The Thieves Guild. This user is an enemy of The Mythic Dawn. This user is an enemy of the Necromancer faction.
Factions

The Isles! A wonderful place indeed. Magnificent. I'm pretty split up as well. Such beautiful lands. And the right people too. It's my home I guess, at least in my mind. That means Sheogorath lives in my mind, which makes complete sense.

When I first played Oblivion, I instantly had a tendency to steal. Oh come on, what do you expect? You release a prisoner, who was in prison for no apparent reason in the first place, sending them out there with no money. And of course, the first thing you see is the big city. You check out the shops and they have all that stuff just lying there, and you don't have a dime to buy anything decent. Everyone looks so rich! I can't help myself... I never let something lie around. So I started looking for the Thieves Guild because of all those posters of the Gray Fox hanging around. People said he was an infamous thief. But in fact, he is a hero. The best questline there is, truly.

Enemy of the Mythic Dawn. I don't really need to add anything to that do I? They don't like me very much. Same thing with the Necromancers. Tampering with the dead... Not worthy of commanding skeletons. Conjurers are jerks too actually, now that I think of it.

Games

The first time I was confronted with the Elder Scrolls would be around the time Oblivion was released. Then, I knew it as one of those awesome, big and high graphics kind of games, so sophisticated I wouldn't be able to play it back then, so I just forgot about it. It was several years later I saw one of my friends playing it. I was immediately drawn to it. He borrowed it from a friend who was a big Morrowind fan. That guy was even an active member of this Tamriel Rebuilt thing of Morrowind. He bought Oblivion, but was dissapointed. "It all looks the same, sort of fairytale like. It doesn't have a unique environment and architecture like Morrowind. Every city has walls..." etcetera etcetera. Eventually, I got my hands on it, and I still have it here! (Shhh, don't tell Bethesda) It is easily one of the best games I've ever played. Heck, if it was released today, it would still be considered an awesome game, despite perhaps somewhat outdated graphics. I play it on the PC, but I also have a PS3, I'd just be a fool to play these games on a console, because mods bring the games into a whole new and awesome dimension.

I tried my hand at modding as well, and got the hang of it. Though I've never tried my hand, and probably never will, with animations, meshes and textures. It's one thing to change some numbers and add some chests, but turning something new into a part of the game... You'd have to be at least equally good as Bethesda themselves.

I also borrowed Morrowind a while back, but in the end, it's a bit too outdated for me. And I seem to experience some strange bugs I can't seem to fix, like jumping slows all sound down, making it sound like giants are out there and all, and an enfuriating inability to easily switch 1st to 3rd person and vice versa in an interior. The combat system is just... Odd. Other than that, it looks like a great compelling game, and I've been wanting to talk to Vivec, ah well, maybe some day. Makes me wonder why there is no unique dialogue mentioned on this site...

Images

A particularly fun task is to take screenshots of the game. But that doesn't make it any less serious. Most images I've uploaded are carefully considered, having been compared to a mass of similar ones. Apparently, this attitude has lead to an "image guru" image (hah, see what I did there?). I've created a page with what I think are my best images at User:Dwarfmp/Images.

My advice to get the best images is take your time. Don't stop until you know it can't get any better. Crank up your graphics to the maximum, don't worry about lags because the images won't show them. Try every angle you can think of, try zooming in and out. One big plus about photography in a game is you can manipulate the weather and the time of day. Use console commands, wait until it's sunny. And when it's showtime, don't forget to tap that screenshot button, because the slightest difference is a difference after all. You might end up with shots you never intended, that are in fact surprisingly awesome. If you're good at editing the image, you can change some bad aspects without people noticing it's tampered with! But if you're any good at screenshots, much tampering won't be necessary (unless of course the area is green in your game, or something...)
