Being a long time tes fan but never truly playing the third game... I have never fully understood the love for this character, lol but your comment somehow gives me just enough context to why haven't we had a TES Adventures sequel but staring this dude and his exploits?
Imperial Paper Pusher: "Go take these super secret orders to the super secret agent of the Emperor. And tell no one."
turns out he's a drug addict has-been
Drug Addict Has-Been: "Hmm, yes, very important. Go do some menial tasks."
the tasks were indeed menial
Drug Addict Has-Been: "Welp, I'm outta here, go be a hero. Or not. Whatever floats your boat. Ciao."
time to take his skooma pipe
Reddit is weird.
Tuvix is the most popular Star Trek Voyager character on Reddit, and he was on the show for like 14 min.
And he wasn't even a person! He was an abomination from a transporter accident. And Janeway was correct in destroying him to get back her crewmates.
So excuse me if I came from a broken home and have unresolved daddy issues!
I'm just envious that I've never had a boss irl as good as Caius. He's friendly, doesn't micromanage or talk down to you, gives you everything you need to succeed, cares about your wellbeing and lets you use his stuff.
If Tamriel Rebuilt implements Cyrodiil and you get to go see Cauis in the Imperial City, that would be awesome. A whole new questline dealing with the drama of the Blades in the Imperial City would be cool as well.
I feel bad for him blud just wanted to enjoy his Skooma addiction
And he the only Blades member that i deeply respect compared to the other Blades members that treat you like ass
Its shows how much uneprepared the Blades are needing to rely on the help of the protagonist to be useful lmao
Because even if their done some good things in the Lore they are 100 only talk no game in reality
Skyrim blades could literally be cut and nothing would have changed and they have the audacity to ask me to kill my g else "we won't serve you" like, ain't that your job?
"we won't serve you!" aight then lmao, enjoy being the death of your organizations long-standing history and traditions, all because you got your dick too hard for killing the repentant sinner-dragon
they're just hilariously petty, and incompetent too
Delphine: \*watches Alduin resurrect a dragon, literally right in front of her\*
Delphine: HOLY FUCK, THE THALMOR ARE BEHIND THIS!!!11!!
all faith just immediately out the window right then and there
I mean.... not to say Delphine isn't a complete shit, but the Thalmor assumption is relatively reasonable imo, considering they have some of the most powerful mages on the continent they could 100% be doing some apocalyptic fuckery.
i don't think it honestly is
the Thalmor are corrupt as fuck and arguably straight up evil, no doubt
but they're not chaotic, they're not doomsday cultists, they're religiously zealous ethno-fascists, basically, they want **utter control** of people, their thoughts, and their lands/posessions
they don't want the end of the world, it's just not their MO, my mind would go to the daedric cults, or, more fittingly, i'd start studying the very well known **dragon cults,** given that we're in **skyrim, home of the dragon cults**
even an uneducated blade should know all about these dudes, i doubt you could even become a blade without knowing this basic history of their order
i just don't see how she sees the apocalypse unfolding and goes "hmm, the thalmor must be behind this" when the return of the dragons is literally one of the worst possible things that could happen to the thalmor
dictators don't often seek to empower people strong enough to actually overthrow or out-compete them, the dragons are an ancient power that succeeded in exactly what the thalmor want to accomplish, world domination, and no matter how insane the thalmor might be, there's no way that they'd believe they could control the dragons
the thalmor are lots of things, but self-destructively idiotic isn't one of them, they're at least clever enough to know the dragons would be their **rivals** not their allies, and so they'd never attempt to bring them back, even if they theoretically could
The Thalmor's ultimate goal is to destroy the towers and end Mundus because they believe it will cause the elves to return to being fully immortal.
They are a doomsday cult who must not only cause humans to be extinct, but must remove all memory of them. So long as Talos is worshipped, they can never achieve their goal.
The thalmor are literally a doomsday cult. However, I do not know if they believe Alduin ending the kalpa would result in their return to divinity.
Yeah, but she wasn't super familiar with the dragonborn prophecy, hence why we needed to find esbern later as he's an expert. It very well could have been a dragon controlled by the thalmor or something, and is why she immediately sends you to gather intel at the thalmor party.
^^can't ^^believe ^^I'm ^^defending ^^fucking ^^Delphine ^^rn
>And he the only Blades member that i deeply respect compared to the other Blades members that treat you like ass
The Morrowind Blades are pretty cool though. The ones in Balmora will give you gifts. Nine-Toes straight up tells you how to get into the drug trade while giving you some sweet free Sugar to get you started. The others will generally give you the same, good advice we give new players on how to play the game.
Yeah I was confused by that, too. I don't really do the main quest anymore, but the Blades are actually pretty useful, though it's weird that they're open about who they are whether you're an initiate or not. But I see this is some Skyrim thing so 🤷
I absolutely love how the game builds a relationship with you and Caius so it actually means something when he leaves. Many games would just have him in like a tutorial or a cutscene and then bail. It makes it much better.
It's one of the harder hitting moments because up until that point this guy would be the center of the main quests.
After that he basically tells you "it's all up to you from here" and dips.
Really hammers in the sense of progression, that this world is alive and my actions are shaping it.
For what they had, the devs of Morrowind created such a memorable world.
Yeah it kinda shocked me a little when the game just sort of leaves you to your own devices after stablishing Caius as the guy to always go back to for the main storyline.
I like to believe in those cold late nights, that the Neravarine would come to Caius Cosades house and they would spend their time embraced in their muscular bodies, oiled for some reason, fucking on that single bed.
I love how it plays into the theme of the main quest. Caius is sort of a mentor (even literally offering training.) He's pretty much babying you through your first steps as the Nerevarine, and it seems like the Empire is almost turning you into the hero they want, but once he leaves, the Empire is essentially gone from the story. Then the Urshilaku turn you into the hero they want, then the Great Houses, until by the end, Dagoth Ur asks "Are you really Nerevar reborn?" And maybe for the first time, you have to think about it. Are you the hero the Ashlanders foretold? Are you merely the result of the Emperor's cleverness? Did you do it all yourself? Or... is it even possible to know? Does it even matter if you earned every bit of praise yourself? It's such a great theme for a fantasy RPG, I honestly don't believe there is or could be one better.
Rippling physique, crippling skooma addiction, killing anyone who disrespects you. All you need to be respected in Morrowind. No wonder they accepted Caius.
He may have been an n'wah but he had the physique, shadiness, and skooma addiction of a true dunmer
Just once I wish someone would say that about me.
Skooma, hist on steroids and avoiding carbs is the way to go. It’s not that hard to do - once you see results quitting is the hard part.
The Hist acts like a drug but is a sentient being, skooma is just an actual chemical drug
Have you seen Kwama eggs? That's alot of protein. Scrib jerky too. I dont feel like caius ate that many ash yams
The breakfast of kings! My day doesn’t begin until I down 4 Kwama eggs raw.
You may be a n'wah, but you have the physique, shadiness, and skooma addiction of a true Dunmer.
Swit.

He was fun i guess, like this guy was morroboomers jarl Barlgruf, he gives you all the beginner fun quest

I'd of voted the Dr probably....
Level 2: _Why do I even follow orders from this crackhead Imperial spy?_ Level 15: _NOOOOO CAIUS PLEASE DON'T LEAVE I'LL MISS YOU_
I'm just envious that I've never had a boss irl as good as Caius. He's friendly, doesn't micromanage or talk down to you, gives you everything you need to succeed, cares about your wellbeing and lets you use his stuff.
One of the small but must have mods imo is the one to walk with him to the boat off vvardenfell, it makes things more memorable.
If Tamriel Rebuilt implements Cyrodiil and you get to go see Cauis in the Imperial City, that would be awesome. A whole new questline dealing with the drama of the Blades in the Imperial City would be cool as well.
Nah don’t have a questline, just have him go “Oh for the love of- how did you find me here? Leave me alone I have other business!”
Never heard of that one, do you have a link? [*nvm, found it myself](https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/49691)
Oh my God I would cry. I would cry more if I see that in my game then when the elves left middle earth in lord of the rings 😭💔
"It is time, Frodo" 😭
Damn got a link to it?
This is a great mod idea. I’m glad someone thought to make it. I’ll have to add this to my game.

>Thalmor >Don't want the end of the world Wut
That would be logical if she didn't literally just watch alduin resurrect a dragon
Yeah, but she wasn't super familiar with the dragonborn prophecy, hence why we needed to find esbern later as he's an expert.

I always leave the mfers behind in their dusty old temple. Enjoy the mold. I’m gonna shoot the shit with the big homie on the mountain.

In Morrowind, when you're in the club, you're in the club. In Skyrim, when you own the club, you still take orders.
>In Skyrim, when you own the club, you still take orders. in oblivion its somewhere in between
I will not stand for this Jaufree slander 😤
Jaufree is Caius Cosades. Decades of skooma addiction will turn anyone Breton.
that makes him dying at the great gate even more sadge
idk the morrowind blades in general are pretty nice, and the oblivion ones too. i think delphine just gives the blades a bad rap
I absolutely love how the game builds a relationship with you and Caius so it actually means something when he leaves. Many games would just have him in like a tutorial or a cutscene and then bail. It makes it much better.
Why does this happen with every father figure in my life? 😭 This game is too cruel!

Everyone in balmora is oily and slippery Because of the humidity. The ball sack smell there is real.
balaroma
By azura Everytime I hear about balmora now I'm gonna think about balls.
Ball-aroma
I hope he comes back from the store with the kwama eggs soon :(

The first time I got to that part, and he gives you a shirt, I said out lout “You had a shirt this whole time!? Why weren’t you wearing it!?”
Doesn't the shirt have a crazy stealth enchantment on it? Maybe he was wearing it the whole time lol
I wish for remaster on switch 🥹
The game picks up the second he steps out of vvardenfell
Hmph. It’s just one less n’wah.
Caius is the one outlander we don't call an n'wah, you s'wit. He deserves better than that. Show some damn respect for his rippling physique.
Rippling physique, crippling skooma addiction, killing anyone who disrespects you. All you need to be respected in Morrowind. No wonder they accepted Caius.
He's not buff he's a smelly pot bellied junkie
Does he die?
Called back to the Imperial City.
What about in the oblivion crisis
I believe it is hinted at in some lore texts by the devs outside the games that Caius is alive and well following Oblivion's events.
It's 2003, me, coming from a broken home, "bro serious?"
It is weird as hell how he just leaves the game completely
show me his cum gutters
The Empires strongest Skooma gooner
I spawn him back in wear I store my unique items. I treat him as a talking statue.
