just like having a pet is a constant cycle of asking "what have you got in your mouth now?", modding skyrim is a constant cycle of asking "what are you crashing for now?"

Year 1-5 of Skyrim being out: WOOOOOOOOW!!! Look at this sick war hammer Malacath gave me! This is so awesome, I-- YOOOOOOOO!!!! THAT DRAGON IS FIGHTING A GIANT, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Year 5-10 of Skyrim being out: I am roleplaying a deeply religious Dunmer. I will ONLY use the Ebony Mail, the Ebony Blade, and Azura's Star. I will follow their teachings, and only their teachings. The only times I don't follow their teachings is if I am literally forced on another path. I will shun and destroy any deity that is not Maphala, Boethia, or Azura. The Good Three are my light and my way.

Year 10+ of Skyrim being out: Hello Generic NPC. I know things about you. So many things. All of the things. I know where you sleep. I know what factions you're a part of. I have the sound of your foot steps memorized, I speak your words before you do. I desire for you, Generic NPC. Oh, not for anything as complex or personal as lust, Generic NPC. Nor hate. Nor is there any judgment here, Generic NPC. My reasons are more ancient, more sinister and, yes, more benevolent than anything you know too. I will follow you home, Generic NPC. I will watch you sleep, Generic NPC. I will cook only the meals you consume, Generic NPC. I will become you, Generic NPC. I will--

Reading TESblr lore opinions and reading TES Reddit lore opinions is like getting glimpses of two completely different planets. It’s so funny. People have completely opposing differences and common conceptions that you can’t even find reference of in the other platform. Almost feels like two separate fandoms. Fascinating.

people love dagoth ur for the same reasons they hate almalexia.

both of them are power hungry. both are not afraid to use horrible methods to control the people of morrowind who they claim to love and want to protect (corprus and weather machine). both use their past relationships with nerevar in an attempt to manipulate the nerevarine. both use flattery to manipulate the nerevarine. both knew as much as they offer to work together and rule side by side the nerevarine is too dangerous to leave alive and must be killed. it was always going to end with the nerevarine's death.

but i regularly see dagoth ur being painted as sympathetic and misguided, if not outright correct. he is just crazy, he's our best buddy, the nicest bro ever, he's just not in the right state of mind. but almalexia has to be a massive bitch who has no redeeming qualities ever and is stupid and manipulative and evil and bad and should be killed on sight because she's our bitch ex wife.

personally i think theyre both morally wrong and deeply flawed people driven to the point of insanity but who do have, somewhere deep down, a desire to do good. dagoth ur lived through the nordic empire's occupation of morrowind just as almalexia did, and he wants to purge the empire from morrowind and wants to be worshipped by the dunmer as a true god who will never abandon them. almalexia also has some similar goals but believes its vivec and sotha sil holding her back from achieving true independance and the full worship of the dunmer as she deserves. absorbing people into a hivemind through a disease that mutates them is Bad as is using a weather machine to scare your citizens.

almalexia is honestly less extreme than dagoth ur and more clearly warped by the heart. mortals arent supposed to have that kind of power, and it was clear there was a time she was reasonable and sane. dagoth ur is MUCH more warped and clearly insane, because he sees nothing wrong with the death and destruction around him, either because he's okay with it or he's completely delusional. the first dream he sends the player of the wedding everyone else is a corpse but he laughs and talks with them like theyre alive and happy. almalexia is not that far gone (yet, at least)

You could become more powerful, Galerion.

If only you limited yourself less with their stupid rules.

Woke: Alduin is the greatest threat to Skyrim

Broke: The Thalmor are the biggest threat to Skyrim

Bespoke: The Eastmarch caldera is a dormant supervolcano akin to Yellowstone and it's eventual eruption will make the Red Year eruption look like a firecracker

One thing that bugs me about the setting is that it would be pretty simple to reverse engineer the dwemer steam systems and use them for basic stuff. it's not the spooky mindfuck technology its fine. and even if the general sentiment was "oh no, the dwemers' hubris may have been their downfall, we must not walk in their footsteps" I can't imagine accepting that if I was, say, a tenant farmer or something. like FUCK y'all man the gods are not gonna disappear us for inventing a tractor. me and all my ancestors seven generations back have repetitive strain injuries from harrowing the fields every year. u like to starve? that's what I motherfuckin thought. take those machines apart and figure out how they work or by Talos I will beat you to death with a rake

Cicero Skyrim ruined my podcast listening experience. Every time a podcaster says “listeners” my brain immediately jumps in with “OOOOHOOHOOHOOOHOO LISTENER!!!! ITS THE LISTENER!!!!!!!”
