And he is probably right lol.

Bethesda doesn't do QA.

The whole premise of the civil war gets real funny when you consider that the Nords more or less jump-started the current incarnation of the empire, and have gleefully invaded/conquered basically any territory they could grab throughout their entire existence both as a people and as the Empire. And in case there's a feeling that was in the past, or that Ulfric feels differently, Markarth would love a word (also the Foresworn are their own brand of rear end in a top hat, it's assholes all the way down, but hoo boy, Markarth). So, basically, the Nords are extremely salty because for once an outside force is telling them what to do, and even the illusion of going along with the Thalmor demands (the greatest assholes of them all) was too much, so now they want to ragequit the Empire they more or less started, and they're behaving as though the Empire is the invader, when they're the ones that invaded everyone else. And Ulfric went and yelled some teenager to death, so that means he's the true king crown please.

Beyond Skyrim: Cyrodiil's main storyline is running with the assumption that Dark Brotherhood killed him regardless of whether or not the Dragonborn was the one who did the deed. I can see Bethesda taking a similar tact when it comes to ES6.

I mean the overarching storyline of the games is the slow but steady destructions of the "Towers" that hold up the reality of the mortal plane so like... decline is a theme.

Yeah, I don't think he was actually a teenager, but he was ridiculously young, iirc new to the position, and several people state outright that he didn't stand a single chance against Ulfric, something which both of them were entirely aware of. Ulfric's some decades experienced war veteran and commander with the Voice, Torygg's some baby king, and lol Ulfric couldn't even be bothered to take the five seconds to kill him in actual combat, he just Fus Ro Dah'd the guy into pieces. And then he ran away from the guards and the guy who held the door open for him got executed. This is presented by Stormcloak supporters as Torygg being a traitor and too weak to rule, and Ulfric being a brave and daring rebel. Going off of memory, someone even notes that Torygg might have listened to Ulfric (and looked up to him), but Ulfric didn't bother trying to convince him. Ulfric himself will say that he killed Torygg just to make a symbolic point. Also it's been 200+ years since Oblivion, or something like that, which is when slavery ended in Morrowind.

It's also worth noting that the Argonians straight up wrecked the Dunmer in the Red Year after the eruption of Red Mountain. Part of the reason that at least some of the Dunmer migrated to Skyrim was to escape the vengeance of the Argonians (and, of course, because Red Mountain went hyper boom and rendered a good chunk of the province a wasteland).

I gave time for the dust to settle a bit before asking. Do all mods need to be updated to AE or can some of them work with either version? I've got a whole bunch of mods so if updating for mining for fish will break my game I'll just keep using the old files instead of updating my mods

The numbers are MUCH MORE SIMILAR than you seem to think. Love to do political analyses of skyrim while forgetting that the entire setting is a dream within a dream of a godhead. What the dragonborn does at the end is doing percussive maintenance on Alduin so that hopefully he gets his head straight and when the time comes he will swallow Nirn and everything can start back when Auriel/Akatosh throw Lorkhan/Shor's heart away.

Yes its more akin to Haiti. Between the red mountain erupting and the Septim Dynasty's death the Empire accelerated in it's decline. Even the dunmer refugees in Skyrim have no particular desire to return home and the folks in the gray quarter prefer to live in an Imperial province wracked by Civil War than to return to whatever's left back in Morrowind. Meanwhile the Thalmor are straight up encouraging the rebellion because it keeps the Empire divided and weak while both sides lick their wounds.

Its hard to say what ES6 will do because it will depend on whatever canonical ending Todd goes for the Dragonborn character. They will probably just poochie him/her off screen.

Didn't Dragonborn (the DLC) strongly suggest that one way or another, The Last Dragonborn is gonna end up replacing Miraak as Mora's poo poo puppet. It would kind of follow the trend of what happened to the Nerevarine and the Hero of Kvatch.

I ended up buying the Enhanced Edition because of course I did; I was planning on modding it because of course I was, but the OP and Wiki seem to be super outdated. Do we have any go-to 'essential fixes' guide? Should I just go to nexus and start downloading mods I want? Is SPERG still a thing? I know there's that /edit: I played the base game a bunch, then modded base another bunch. I just never got the DLC which is kinda why I ended up getting EE.

A few pages ago I remember someone saying something about a mod that adds plants around the world that increase your carry capacity - anyone got a name for that one? e: Nevermind, it seems to be "Vyn Exports - Ice Claws" Edmond Dantes posted:I ended up buying the Enhanced Edition because of course I did; I was planning on modding it because of course I was, but the OP and Wiki seem to be super outdated. SPERG is a thing on SE. You'll want Mod Organizer 2 to manage all your stuff, and you still need SKSE which needs to be installed manually. I think there's "USSEP" for essential fixes, not sure if there's much else you need?

I’ve got a modded install of Special Edition. I imagine now that it’s all kinds of broken due to the updates. That said, is SKSE and SkyUI updated at least? I have an Ultrawide mode that uses SkyUI and I at least want to play with that, along with Legacy of the Dragonborn of that’s still working ok.

SKSE is mostly functional (outside of some edge cases), and SkyUI doesn't need to be updated, it works fine so long as you're using the AE build of SKSE. LotD has been updated, as have most of its official patches ("most" because the official CC patches have yet to be updated). There's a few mods that have yet to update, namely Racemenu (which the author is working on), Quick Loot RE (which may never get updated unless the author returns or someone picks up the publicly available source code and runs with it), and anything dependent on the .net framework which hasn't been updated yet. A lot of the doom and gloom stuff was actually handled remarkably fast. SKSE, Address Library, CommonLib, etc., all seem to have gotten up to a mostly functional state relatively quickly.

Skyrim Skill Uncapper is has a functioning beta for AE as well, it’s missing some of the edge case abilities the SE version had but all of the main stuff (skill cap increases, turning on/off legendary skills, slowing down how fast you level up etc) is working fine.
