  6. You know, seeing all these different interpretations of the Daedra and of the metaphysics of the Elder Scrolls world, I really wish we'd see more of this in the gameplay and less in literature. I wanna see the main character experience and truly live these different interpretations and make the player truly question what's going on instead of just more "Daedra bad". I get that the games need to be accessible to the general audience, but I still think there's a reasonable balancing point between "hah, funny dragon game" and "intricate metaphysics as a product of an acid-trip".

  20. All of this sheds some light on events in Skyrim even! The Molag Bal shrine in Markarth, a city with reachmen citizens, and the Boethiah priest being captured by forsworn. The shrub to Namira is close to Markarth and there’s all those Namira worshippers there. It’s possible that some of Markarth’s cannibals are even forsworn. Lisbet tries to brush off the commotion of Margret’s attempted murder as “just the market rabble.” Also, the pommel to Mehrunes Razor is being kept by a group of forsworn as well. AND Peryite’s Shrine is in the hills of the reach as well, located near a small forsworn village.

  21. Alright. So your Etherial Hunter build is essentially a Reachman / -woman, who was born and grew up under similar conditions in High Rock?
    That complicates matters.
    Love the lore, as always (mostly). A moral compass gives gameplay that much more depth. It's a pity Bethesda didn't incorporate functional Deadric shrines in the game (Skyrim).

  26. I think that reachmen would appreciate both aspects of mehrunes dagon. his destructive aspect represents bloody revolution and chaos, but could be interpreted as the breakdown of “weak” societies that only seek to control and pacify the masses. the lesson dagon teaches is to never allow the prosperity and power that comes from ambition to compromise your strength of body and mind, lest all that you worked for get taken away by those around you
