If you think this is soulless slop you're worthless except as a concubine and/or food.

Oblivion was the best Elder Scrolls game because level scaling kept the challenge up.

Oblivion was supposed to feature a huge jungle but the idea was scrapped because Todd Howard saw Lord of the Rings.

No, it was never a jungle, kirkbride tried to retcon it into one and Todd didn't give a **** what that ****** wanted.

Nooooo Oblivion shouldn't have had gorgeous and varied landscapes it should have been one big boring jungle because of a single book in Morrowind that not even Morrowind itself accounts for!!!!!!!!!!

Look at Imperial architecture in Morrowind? Does that look like it comes from a ******* jungle culture to you?

Imperial armor also seems very suited for crawling thru a hot, humid jungle.

All the Emperors were from Highrock, and the game says Morrowind's imperial towns look like towns from Highrock. Imperial in Morrowind is just Highrock. There are newtscale cuirasses in the game made from the river lizards that live in the jungle, which is far better corroboration of their culture than going by the construction of frontier garrisons. They're meant to look like hovels you'd find in a frontier newly opened for settlement, anyway. Why do the castles look European and not jungle fantasy? Castles come from Highrock, and that's the Europe of Tamriel. Why would you assume the architects of Cyrodiil would build palaces in Morrowind, or that there is one Imperial style to begin with? Even Oblivion tried ten different styles with it's cities.

After playing ESO, I'm especially grateful they didn't go with a jungle biome for Cyrodiil. Valenwood, Blackmarsh, etc. are nothing but jungles and it wore on me so quickly. The swamps in the southernmost parts should be satisfactory enough for the jungle lore purists. Cyrodiil is beautiful and it makes sense for it to be more similar to the Summerset Isles, considering the Ayleid population that ruled it in the past. :geek:

I'm actually just joking. There's a diary you can find from the guild masters son where he expresses his care and appreciation for one of his friends that libtard ghouls insist is proof he's a *** who takes it up the ***.

By the same logic Baldur gate 1 is a ****** game since there is a collar that once equipped turns your character into a woman.
