  1. Great discussion guys, I admit I was really looking forward to seeing ESO's Summerset Expansion do Alinor better justice too. Though I'm still glad we at least got to visit there in some capacity. I agree Hammerfell could be especially cool for TES6 in continuing the Thalmor plot and maybe seeing something similar to the Skyrim civil war there too between the Thalmor and the Redguards. It would be pretty interesting to see Bethesda better flesh out the Thalmor and The Dominion instead of just trying to hammer at players that they're not your friend, like in Skyrim.

  2. Anyway for y'all to make an ethereal build like only conjugation weapons. Swords and bows focused. One of my favorite to play as just wanna see y'all make one and see where it goes.

  3. I get certain vibes off each of these 3 voices, and could see them playing certain roles: Scott as a teacher, a lecturer, maybe professor. Drew's voice has a calming effect, and makes me think of guided meditation videos and, coincidently, these videos also attract a certain spiritual niche crowd, so Drew would fit in as a philosopher. Michael has a young-looking face with a voice to fit and to me seems reminiscent of a student, not to discredit anyone in any particular way as a teacher is useless without the student. just my thoughts, have a good night 🙂

  4. I just love you guys. You’ve really introduced and given me my first fan base to be a part of – which was important during 2020. I started watching around Covid time and began playing Skyrim for the first time because of your influence.

  5. I actually love how they ended up designing Summerset in ESO and I'm happy they didn't go with the more alien "glass and insect wings" style. The art nouveau Tolkien inspiration is gorgeous. I like that people who want to play a more different or alien type of elf can make a dunmer or bosmer. Some may call the altmer generic but a lot of people really love the more "traditional" elves and I like that there is something for everyone in the game.

  6. Thalmor are kinda dumb, given even if they broke Mundus there's no gurantee they'd be powerful as Deadra and the Deadric princes would probably be salty their sandbox got ruined and they'd know who was responsible. The Magna-ge would be pretty disapproving too as would any Gods who actually worked hard to maintain and take care of their creation.

  7. 37:40 Always felt this was a major oddity of fantasy worlds and why I tend to find it really hard not to pick a mage to play as when given the option. Like, sure I can swing sword good…or I can control the very fabric or reality and use it to destroy all who would oppose me whilst elevating myself to the status of a living god.

  8. Hey Fudgemuppet, what is the biggest posse one could assemble in Skyrim? Obviously you can have followers and you can summon atronauchs and deadra, but what is the biggest crew that can be assembled to have fighting alongside you?

  9. I feel the Racial abilities and things in Skyrim is fine. No need to go back to other set ups. Seriously what kind of idiot would play a character that has so many weaknesses that you can barely balance it if at all. At least Vampirism weaknesses and Werewolf weaknesses can be balanced out/mediated with enchantment and the stones. Although admittedly whenever I create a High Elf character in Skyrim they tend to be the third sexiest aesthetic for female character. First being Argonion and second being Orc.
