This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You give Bethesda slop too much credit

FR.

The only game of theirs that truly was allegorical and not simply cool for cool, edgy, or trying to squeeze in some hot topic buzz words and themes, was Morrowind.

And what it was allegorical to was basically a horned-up teenager's demented fantsies.

Friend did you play Skyrim?

I don't mean to be all "Bethesda slop good" but the story they're telling (outside the main quest) is pretty spot on regarding rampant racism and nationalism tearing apart a country already at the behest of a small cabal of criminals. Vampires living on a private island want to extinct the earth so they can hunt free for a couple years just spells it out even clearer.
