I never actually thought about how retarded the Thieves' Guild questline actually is, never liked Karliah's voice since she always sounds like she needs to clear her throat.
In that quest where you collect the Horn for the Greybeards, how did Delphine actually get to the horn before you? There is a secret door, but it can only be opened and closed from inside of the chamber, which you need the whirlwind shout to get into. Even then, why did she leave a paper note? There is water in the chamber and paper can easily get blown by wind.

Those plot points are so retarded i forgot anything about the faction quests and the main quest.
Only shit worth returning the horn to the Greybeards is returning at that dungeon and touch the thing you found the letter. Gives you 1 dragon soul.
"Huh, interesting thumbnail. I wonder if it's one of those 'I did every x' or 'killed every y' video-" View attachment 9020751 Someone said Redguard fatigue too lol.
Finished the Stormcloak Rebellion questline, I like that the game actually does wipe your bounty once the new side takes control, wasn't looking forward to paying off or going to jail for a 30,000 gold bounty. I would have liked some sort of dialogue you could have at the end of the quest-line with whoever's lost, as well as a way to spare them, I think sending Tullius back to Cyrodil in defeat would probably be more humiliating than him dying. Was a bit disappointed when I got General Tullius' armour, expected it to have higher defence than it actually has. Kind of funny, all the Jarls you dethroned live beneath the Blue Palace once you beat the questline and are really salty at you.

The youtuber Dareloth uploading, then subsequently deleting, a video about how Michael Kirkbride is "problematic" twice in a row, lol. Presumably because it was too much of a spicy take for the TES fandom even after he revised it, but I didn't watch it so I don't know if it was as bad as the thumbnail immediately led me to assume.
Did any of you catch it? Was it the bog standard "bawww this artist/writer/musician said some stuff that isn't turbo heccin progressive in 1998 therefore is a chud and we should shun them" bullshit or did he have more nuance to his argument?

Watched a little bit of the second re-upload but the censoring of words made a lot of the video unintelligible and genuinely unpleasant to watch so I didn't get far.
The bit that I caught seemed to be him going through the Shonni-etta. If you dont know its basically an out of game text where Ramen Cyrodiil, cums over an army at age 13 and the goddess Dibella tells two sisters to secretly put Ramen's cum into baked goods and feed it to him (this is to be done as he grows up) among other things like Ramen biting someone's jaw off.
Dareloth takes issue with the content of the story and the fact Kirkbride describes it as "porn" in an interview
In Kirkbride's defence the interview he is rambling almost borderline incoherently so maybe his use of the word porn wasn't him saying "something meant to titillate?" and just rather crude "sexual stuff", No idea. He does say that it's meant to be shocking and he compares it to how mythical figures in the past have really messed up parts of their stories. He brings up a story about how in Alabama's history there was an event where an elephant was hanged with a crane after it killed people at a circus. he explained how on one hand that's really cool and interesting that it happened but on the other hand it you also understand that it's really fucked up. Moreover. the context would change if it was just a story from another world.
Sorry for the double post but here is Dareloth's response about the video
Removed the MK video myself this time around. I'm done with it.
There was a misunderstanding between myself and the community in some places, and I apologize, because that's my fault for not articulating it clearly enough.
I understand that the Shonni-etta was meant to emulate old religious texts and mythology. I had zero issue with that aspect of the writing, but that comment seemed to be the most consistent across nearly 300 comments, so I clearly didn't articulate that well enough. My fault.
Also, I received a lot of complaints about the censoring, claiming that the video was incomprehensible. That was meant to be tongue and cheek about the original upload getting deleted by YouTube, but I get that it probably made it hard to watch. Again. My fault.
The original title for the video was Michael Kirkbride WAS Problematic (But He Seems to Be Doing Better Now). This was not in reference to his writing, but more his fan interactions and his alcoholism. I just needed a name for the video and I wanted to show how he had some issues and overcame them. It was a bit too clickbaity, so apologies. My fault.
Like I said at the outset of the video, I would love to have a chat with him at some point, I was not trying to levee any allegations against him.
I get that this is a sensitive topic for a lot of people, so if I offended you with the video, I'm sorry.
I'm just deleting it wholesale, and moving on to my next project.
I've had a bunch of TES essay slop on my feed the last couple days, been running some of it for the background noise.
I'll never understand this idea that this or that game killed Bethesda or does TES better than TES does. Like yeah man, Witcher is cool but there's almost no similarities beyond "high fantasy sandbox". Same goes for any other game the series gets compared to. Or "low fantasy sandbox" if you wanna compare it to Kingdom Come.
I can understand the idea that certain games do certain things better than the TES series does, obviously, but I've still yet to play any game that does whatever the fuck it is that gives this series its charm. I've found plenty of games that scratch a similar itch but none of them hit the spot.
But apparently every other game you can slap the RPG label on is the Elder Scrolls killer that mogs the series in every conceivable way. I guess that's why so many studios hard pivoted to trying to copy TES in really retarded ways post-Skyrim, only to give up immediately while leaving their games with half assed attempts, and every open world that comes out immediately gets compared to 15+ year old games instead of their contemporaries. Because TES bad now and always was.
This is what 15 years of Skyrim releases does to a fanbase.
Wow that's a lotta words for "I'm retarded". I'm sure Kirkbride would be totally down for a chat with you after you make a video about his issues with substance abuse and bad interactions with fans in the past.
I figured it would be over something like that, but yeah, you'd think people nowadays have completely forgotten the shit that happens in Gilgamesh or like 90% of ancient Egypt's folklore. Always seemed pretty obvious to me, that's what Kirkbride was aiming for with his more messed up stuff.
What a homo. Also lol look at the top response to the post:
An anti-tranny post made by someone named Whitewolf makes me laugh. Judging from what he said and the comments, the video was borderline incomprehensible anyway so nothing of value was lost. Stick to lore retard, all you're good for even if it's 4th rate at best.
Someone said Redguard fatigue too lol.
