With the news that Tamriel Vault is now five years old, I‘ve found myself thinking back to everything I’ve done in the blog from the creation of my Character Build, my RP Profile, my gallery and of course my story.
I’ve added various pieces of art and screenshots, wrote a multitude of chapters, contributed to discussions and posted the odd discussion of my own. Near every member can boast the same, in fact most of you who have been here a while have probably added much more content that I have (bar blog postings... I think I hold the record for blog postings).
This brings me to my point… What, in all of your time in Tamriel Vault, is your biggest singular accomplishment?
What’s the one star that outshines all your others?
For me, it has to be my story. Union of the Wolf.
What’s yours?
The fact that I haven't yet been banned from the site is an accomplishment by itself
Jokes aside, my biggest accomplishment, which is my first work ever, isn't connected to TT, it is my part of the Bosmer lore article, most of which is written by Karver and Spotted Fawn though. Mine is the littlest part.
Otherwise, I've been mostly leaving critical comments and being a naggy person. Not a real accomplishment, huh))
Hmm...I would have to say that my greatest accomplishment would be all of my poetry on the site. This place really served as a testing ground for my creative juices, and the fact that so many of them were well received is a great sign to me.
Another one of my proudest moments would be my recent Dishonored and Fallout lore articles. I thought they were well-crafted and helped breath even the tiniest bit of life into those groups.
See, this raises a great point of what the blog is. When it was first created and the groups started to form there were no layouts of any particular format compared to what we have by today’s standards. I didn’t join the blog until 2014 so these first few years of voyage and discovery I unfortunately missed.
Those must have been exiting times. I do wish I could have been there.
I’m just glad I have an opportunity to help Tamriel Tales and the Vault grow beyond what it is now.
Awesome discussion Sotek, it really makes you think.
I really don't know, so I guess I'll divide it into personal projects and more group/site oriented stuff, I think I've contributed a fair bit to both categories.
Without a doubt the achievement in building that I consider the best is my Grey Prince, it might have only been my...third or fourth build but to me it far outshines what I've done since. It's hit Event:Legendary, it's in the Hall of Fame in the upper half of the Vampire Category, and it kind of defined my work on the Vault since then. If it wasn't for the success of the build (even if the Legendary stuff took over a year) I probably wouldn't have kept building.
In terms of other groups, I guess my Lore Article (Examining the Time Dragon) was the only noteworthy piece that I just did to, well have fun. There was no motive behind the article, no reason for posting it other than I just wanted to. While the primary reason for all my Workshop or Gaming Corner content has of course been to have fun, but there was always that personal pressure of it being done to hopefully spur some action into the group.
Speaking of the Workshop, I'd like to think that it was one of my biggest achievements in helping out the site. I'm not trying to claim credit for it fully or anything but I'd like to think I've been a driving force for the group, the WSS, Workshop Features, Workshop Group Builds and the constant commenting all (hopefully) had more of an impact on other members than anything else I've done.
Yeah, my work in the Workshop would be what I consider my greatest accomplishment on the site, simply because it's the one thing I'd say that actually had an impact on other people in a positive manner.
I can't say for anyone else but I have a hard trouble saying 'Workshop' without thinking about Dragonborn. I don't want to take anything away from anyone else but I honestly think the workshop has you stamped all over it.
I hope I would leave my mark on Tamriel Tales as you have with the workshop.
