games

video is clickbait its 2013

but still

well

TES elves are most definitely evil

the thalmor are literally fucking everyone over in midst of their internal conflicts for themselves

kidnapping a random guy to learn how to make stalrim weapons

treating the entire civil war of skyrim as a game to help weaken the empire

to increase their stranglehold

etc.

witcher... less evil and more just assholes

elves are assholes in basically all of mythology

the whole thing with them just being tall, long-lived treehuggers was mainly created by tolkien

i don't think the elves in norse myth were particularly good or evil

they just kind of... existed

they're assholes in lotr too Kaze

^

i take back what i said

not all tes elves are evil

only high elves

i keep forgetting tes has like 50 elves

dunmer altmer bosmer orismer falmer/whatever snow elves are whateverdunmer used to be mermer

Try being a little more racist

only one are evil!

oh and dwarves

dwarves are evil ig

if i recall correctly the falmer weren't particularly welcoming either

which lead to their extinction in the first place

TES lore 😴

true

tes lore is pretty bad

The god stuff is alright

elves are just kinda ???

I like the approach to the aedra in how they have many names by many cultures

but aedra literally do nothing

except akatosh once

i also dislike how skyrim basically said lol fuck Morrowind it's all ash now xd

when it probably had the best lore

now it's gone for lule

luls$

aedra don't though

there's two? aedric artifacts

auriels bow (akatosh)

staff of magnus

and they don't even give them out

and then the daedra give out shit tons of stuff

amd every game reuses the same artifacts

so somehow between oblivion and skyrim hermeus moras oghma infinium

ended up in a dwemmer cube in the ice

SOMEHOW

and they're only like 400 years apart??

and it requires dwarf blood to open

or like how conviently all the pieces of mehrunes dagons razor are in skyrim

maybe the daedra just really felt like it

i do like how they're not ALL 100% evil

like meridia

but you can't reject them either

you cant go against them

you can say no!! but ir really means yes

Morrowind shouldn't of been volcanoed

i would maybe like it better if like

the north coast of skyrim was covered in asj

ash*

if solstheim got covered COMPLETELY

skyrims coast should have ash too

I will say though, skyrim has A LOT more references to Morrowind than oblivion

which i didn't catch until now

like dunmer scream nerevaine in combat and there's tons of other Morrowind style things like dwarven ruins instead of ayelid

maybe bethesda just hates oblivion (good)

What's your problem with oblivion

boring quests

and no gameplay to back ot up

All the tes elves are pretty shitty to everyone and the thalmor want to unravel all of creation or some shit and return to being immortal energy... things... people... something

bosmer are generic friendly forest elves

dunmer are... assholes kinda but they're not bad people

bosmer eat other sentient beings

they just all are from the same place

orsmer are generic fantasy orcs
