#I want to complain in detail about how flat skyrim's references of norse mythology are#and how even after SEVERAL releases over the course of a decade#they still never fleshed any of it out other than visual design#while also they couldn't even have the decency to multi-dimensionalize#the horrors and awfulness of the Nords (stormcloaks; bandits and imperial nords) racism in something that's compelling to engage with#and instead is still a flat ass two dimensional fantasy derivative view of a mythology and pantheon#and the conflicts within said main themed group of people about why they just actually hate everybody#TEN YEARS AND SEVERAL RELEASES#...so yeah Bethesda is still king (derogatory) of failing to understand the source materials they reference from#but yeah I can't complain about it because my brain fries out every time I try#and modding the game hasn't helped much in that regard#cos no matter how many fleshed out and nuanced stuff modders make about the nordic aspects of the game#the base game itself is just that fucking Bad#I know there's essays already written about all this...#still pisses me off tho that I can't put my own experience down properly without my thoughts scattering into the fucking void#over ten fucking years and several releases later jfc
