Dragonborn was pretty much bethesda finalizing the conversion of elder scrolls from weird lore like 'bizarre mushroom-growing horse eater elfs who worship a male-female god' to Tolkien style elfs and orcs and dungeons oh my

honestly i have no real beef with tes being more tolkein-esque, ~the lore~ was always very clear that morrowind is the weirdest place in tamriel. id just like more entries into the fantasy sandbox genre so that we can get some more variety

elder scrolls games aren't my cup of tea

but the dark brotherhood quests and the thieves guild quests in oblivion were the best things ever

the ones in skyrim sucked

oblivion thieves guild was kind of boring until the end i thought, skyrim had the down on it's luck crime syndicate thing that was interesting

skyrim dark brotherhood was neat because you got to kill the emperor and also you got a creepy horse

i find it hard to put either game's thieves/db above the other one, they're both the high points of those games

best part of skyrim: doing the quest where you steal a horse for a guy, then having the delivery interrupted by a bear, the horse running away, and spending the next half hour trailing the guy as he runs across the map in panic getting constantly attacked by more bears

morrowind thieves guild was the best because it was a straight up gang war

they even did the "lets be robin hood" thing but it was because they needed all the help they could get

it was great

the bear would beat him within an inch of his life, then when he goes down it loses interest and wanders off. then he recovers and gets back up and tries to run away, but the bear is still inside its aggro radius and it's faster than he is so it just turns right around and catches up to him and the cycle repeats

yeah but it established a bunch of weirdish stuff about the rest of the world that was corroborated by previous tes games that oblivion and skyrim just outright ignore. idk, I like it when fantasy trys to be different from the tolkeinesque norm

i do too but it's so ingrained at this point that you just kind of have to roll with it. i thought skyrim struck a nice balance between tolkein and weird stuff

better than oblivion for sure, the aldmer thing was kind of neat and I wish they'd explored that more. I'm probably over for open world games for a good long time though. I always wanna explore eerything in those games and I just don't have time anymore.
