Meh. Plays are what they had to use before there was TV and cinema
-
If Ulfric hadn't acted up, the Talos conflict probably could have waited for the actual war. And the Imperials only let the Thalmor enforce it because they didn't want to die. But that war will come regardless. Now or latter, eventually, the E…
-
You also said "Probably even more so than it would have been under Dagoth Ur.", so... Uh, yes. Morrowind as it it now is (moon landing, red mountain erupting, Vvardenfell breaking apart, Daedric invasion, Argonian invasion) may well be more de…
-
Hence why I specifically said "what I did for Morrowind" and "screw the Empire", i.e. Tamriel
-
I must say, I'm mildly peeved about this cop-out explanation. I mean, okay, I get Bethesda needs to have a unitary history for all of Tamriel, so what the player did in MW must not end up mattering. And an immortal Nerevarine would really be in the …

My post will still be there tomorrow for you to answer to you. Good night, and dream of giants, dragons and orcs
-
About as dickish as they are presented in the lore? That's exactly how they are presented in-game! Eh, they aren't presented as quite as bad as the Dunmer in Morrowind. Now, those were fun xenophobic. Ah, the good old days of "We're wat…
-
So much text to answer... I know all that about the Thalmor, but you have to keep in mind that they have to prioritize their actions. Before Ulfric's protests, they were focusing more on building their army, since they can achieve their goals in…
-
And as I've said, the Thalmor would have found another pretext to have them enforce the ban if not for that incident. Denying Talos' divinity is central to their spiritual agenda. If we take Kirkbrides out-of-game wirtings as canon (which I do), the…
-
The entire reason the Empire supported the ban is because they're too afraid the Thalmor would restart the war. But if they fear the Thalmor can seriously overrun the entire Empire (and as the war has shown, that's a realistic estimation), then the …
-
>starting an unnecessary civil war by loudly protesting a ban everyone was ignoring, then murdering a guy who had nothing to do with it, thus weakening everyone except the nazi elves Who (the nazi elves) are in turn the entire reason the ba…

It was a commonly held belief in medieval Europe (at least in the early middle ages, obviously that belief diminished over time) that the Muslims worshipped Hermes and Apollo, so it's not just the Song of Roland. OTOH, the Muslims thought the Christ…
-
^^^Well, fwiw, I'd much, much rather see a such a nice, fit body then people shitting on each other's plates, so your argument may not hold up entirely here
-
Eh, they may not be the only ones, but they are in fact the biggest one, so why not go after them? I don't have any stake in this, but if I had, this would make sense to me. From all I've heard, 9gag deserves all the hate it gets, just as Ebaumsworl…
-
I have heard folks who self-described themselves as talented, but in the same breath also say that while talent allowed them to breeze through things for a time, they eventually hit walls and had to actually start working for it. This. So much…
-
There would be a very significant theological issue at work if you remove all Cardinals, or all bishops: The apostolic succession. Bishops are not just offices, they have in them according to Catholic Theology the holy spirit that was passed down fr…
-
While the first line of that 4chan post is ridiculous, the 2nd one makes sense, actually. I find it annoying when people say "who cares about realism/background/story/similar concepts, it's fun!". Which is actually very valid for some games (or also…
-
Well this thread is for testing stuff So let us test this. With multiple paragraphs . And let's do this with the spoiler tag, too. Just to see the results hm... seems to be the other way round, even. /E: …
-
You can close toggleboxes again, it seems. That makes them much more awesome. I'll have to use them instead of spoilers from now on.
-
Yes, of course since WW2 at latest, and probably already since before WW1, social democratic interests have been part of the establishment, too. But the point is, conservative liberalism is a respectable, established ideology here. The majority of f…
-
^^Ahaha. That's kinda funny, my first instinct had been to write something like - I mean, " a country that is all bog-land, they say, and full of horrible Jews, to say nothing of the Cossacks and the peasants" could be anything east of the Oder for …
-
Oh this is priceless: So not only has Maduro, the acting President of Venezuela, accused the USA of having infected Chavez with cancer, no, now he also has apparently claimed that Chavez had something to do with the first appointment of a Latin Amer…
-
Since you already have used "around here" in the Hungary thread, where are you from anyway? I mean, " a country that is all bog-land, they say, and full of horrible Jews, to say nothing of the Cossacks and the peasants" is not exactly telling all to…

Thatcherism? Surely not. You can't have Thatcherism without social conservatism. And while liberal and conservative forces traditionally enjoy good relationships in Europe, and in fact "liberal conservative" is a thing in Europe, on the whole libera…

I would imagine Bergoglio being a bit above such considerations. Still, what an awesome opportunity at trolling missed! Imagine how the crazies would've freaked if he had indeed called himself Peter II!

^^Mythological Loki outtrolls Marvel Loki. Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great. To add a twist and make them both hilariously inept, both command 18th century armies (pre-French Revolution), of exactly the same strength and make-up.
-
So apparently this guy came in 2nd last time, or so rumour goes. So that's another possible, speculative explanation for his election besides the age: It might be due to an inter-Conclave compromise pact between the factions. The Reformists are a mi…
-
Every single cardinal is against that. Nonetheless, by the standards of the Catholic Church, and indeed by the standards of the Conclave, the guy's a reformist. One of the very small reformist minority that stood against a conservative/ultraconserva…

I didn't say the Brits are all against the EU... but that is where you find most EU opponents. That is, I mean, in my experience online, anectdotally, not speaking from any statistics.
-
Really? In my experience, the only support I ever get online for my anti-EU stance is from Brits, and yeah, okay, they are against the EU mostly, but not the rest of Europe.
