It's amusing how many people are like

"STOWY NO MATER AT AWL!!!"

But sad at the same time

It's ok dawg, we've still got an amazing hiking simulator. Surely that will compensate for the lack of plot and story right? Right???

Hi Longknife.


I think you might be enforcing an overzealous perspective on Lore, which, by definition is mythological. Even a mediocre storywriter could fill in the time lapses between two allegedly contradictory lore fragments with fictional bridges that could easily - maybe not brilliantly - reconcile the two. Now, to me, the relevant question to ask is this: which of the two approaches to lore serves the storytelling best.

HI ther jack254! Always good to see you.


Why is it sad that other people don't like what you do, to the extent that you do? Is it sad some poeple don't like cauliflower? Is it sad some will never enjoy The Pixies?

If you do not like Cauliflower- Perhaps you might like it with a cheesey sauce?

I know right.

I'm saying that any change in government, culture etc should be gradual, not sudden.
If we went to Elsweyr and the Aldmeri established an entirely new form of government and we never saw the Mane, that's fine, that's gradual.

But 200 years+ difference between one game and the next seems like nothing more than a potential excuse to make drastic changes to the cultures and governments. If we went to Elsweyr and they no longer worshipped moons but rather Daedra (all of them), the land was now completely jungle and the government was different and they said "ja but it's been 600 years" and Skyrim provided us with no reason to believe religion, climate or the government of Elsweyr is undergoing a change? Yeah then I say that's bull.

They were probably by set points, which is why you dont see much of them around, they perhaps wanted the Vampires to be a more "common" enemy so people had a good chance of contracting the disease, yes i was dissapointed when the Volkihar were no more than normal vampires after i had spent time to find one and then let it disease me up just for it to be the same disease as every other vampire gives you, they had had a choice of a few but well animated volkihar -which may of been the right choice- which would of then annoyed players when they then couldn't do the same things.


I think this was a choice between fans demands and lore , its true it may not of been too hard to implement both although it would then lead to problems between who gets most attention. But in the choice between Wolves/Bears there was more a demand for Wolves as they had been showcased before in Bloodmoon then dissapeared.

I still reject the idea that this is heavily stolen from movies -such as underworld- Vampires are usually being depicted as having some sort of powerful coven and usually in some sort of big dark castle and think they are lords, Underworld probably wasn't even the first to use this Flying Vampire Lord description, it is simply a modern version of it which was well received and therefore what people associate with the image. I see no problem with Bethesda saying we got an idea for our game and here is a movie that has done a good job at depicting something similar to what we are talking about shall we take inspiration from this...
