And, most importantly, TES in not only Skyrim. In fact, it's mainly Morrowind. And any console profanations of Morrowind cannot compare with the real thing.
TES is mainly Daggerfall, geographically (According to Todd Howard, the Morrowind is .01% the size of Daggerfall.)

Do you serve a purpose or purposely serve?

I'm certainly considering it, although I'm not sure. Everything I've seen about it (advertisements aside) predicts that it'll suck. Then again, it is the sworn duty of the Internet to hate anything that's popular....

I haven't actually read up on it too much. I tend to prefer to beta test something before starting to get an idea of how I'll like it (knowing betas aren't the finished product, but you can see where the game is going and how the developers are handling player feedback).

But Rina, how do you really feel??? You think I am insincere? TES is mainly Daggerfall, geographically Wink (According to Todd Howard, the Morrowind is .01% the size of Daggerfall.) That depends on what you prefer, quantity or quality.

Precisely. I agree that Morrowind is the highest quality game in the series, and I'm looking forward to playing it again (even if it's just on the Xbox). It would probably be my favorite TES game if I hadn't happened to get Oblivion at a time when I had absolutely nothing else to do.

Well, I believe I have completely fallen in love with the Altmer. I made an Altmer character in Skyrim and she's awesome. I have also realized how racist I am in every TES game... smelly Orsimer and Bosmer can eat my sparks

It's just how I am. I've tried to be mean, but I feel so bad afterwards. Not that there is anything wrong with being racist in a TES game

Not that there is anything wrong with being racist in a TES game I used to be really nice in TES and I actually felt bad when NPCs disliked my character, so I played the games as if I were actually my character. Then I got bored with being the good girl (I always play as females) all the time and I started massacring everyone in Bravil. I guess I embody the Altmer ideals (only in the games, of course... I'm not Hitler ) to some extent. Bosmer are just so creepy in Oblivion, and they don't improve in Skyrim. They actually get worse, which I didn't think was possible. Shifty little stains on the mer name. Orsimer are green and ugly and they're almost universally barbaric. Their name states that they're pariahs. There's a reason for that, ya know.

I hadn't either until a few days ago. I'm starting to enjoy it more now that it isn't constantly being shoved in my face. I still can't shake the feeling that it could've been so much more than it is, though. Skyrim just isn't Cyrodiil. Or Vvardenfell. Or... yeah, I just don't like the location.

I guess I can be called a racist in TES, too. I hate Argonians. Not for some imagined prejudice, but for what they did to Morrowind.

That reminds me of a funny story. While playing Skyrim in college, my room mates and i shared the game on my xbox. While i was playing the companions storyline one of my room mates proclaimed that the battle ax you receive near the end that belongs to the creator of Companions was, and I quote, "Completely racist axe!!!" Wuutrad(?) super effective against elves! Good old fashioned human-elf racism! Gotta love it!
Now on my brother's xbox, I run around with it killing elves!
