That's not correct. It's true that the question itself has never been given a definitive "Word of God" answer (despite Kirkbride's attempts), but that doesn't mean that it was created out of laziness and/or ignorance of lore on the part of the writers. Ambiguity isn't the same thing as vagueness. There are several theories on what happened to the Dwemer that certain characters in Morrowind propose, and not only are all of them better from a writing standpoint than "they literally became skin," they all have at least some backing in the metaphysical lore of the series. So why did Kirkbride suggest his dopey new idea years after the game came out? I don't know. Maybe he felt he hadn't been weird enough lately.

Or maybe it is because he nor any other writer actually came up with a real reason they disappeared and have been half-assing mysterious ways it could have happened ever since. Writers do it all the time. Just watch Lost and behold the power of making up mysteries that even the writer doesn't know the answer to.

You'll just have to accept it, Saddam. Lore lore lore can't save a shitty mystery.

Ugh, don't even get me started on Lost. Fucking L. Ron Hubbard showed more respect for his fans and their investment in the universe he created than those fucking hacks. And they didn't have the decency to fade away into obscurity like Chris Carter did afterward. Damon Lindelof is still out there, busy ruining perfectly good franchises.

Soooooo, I'll prolly be logging on again now that it's free to play. I stopped because I bought Wildstar... which was just terrible. Never got back into TESO. It's a shame, I was having lots of fun with a nightblade tank.

How many hours of raiding does this involve?

Basically it's PvP in Cyrodiil and group PvE in Craglorn and group dungeons.

Lore is the most important part of any TES game. You myst describe how great/terrible it is.

Pongo · « **Reply #1992 on:** March 20, 2015, 01:18:41 PM »

Oh, it's amazeballs. I find when I don't read/listen to the quests that my level of enjoyment is dramastically decreased.

Saddam Hussein · « **Reply #1993 on:** March 21, 2015, 04:48:29 AM »

Now even Blanko is playing the game. This is great. TESO FOR ALL!

beardo · « **Reply #1994 on:** March 21, 2015, 10:25:50 AM »

Did you two start questing after I had gone to bed?

Vindictus · « **Reply #1995 on:** March 21, 2015, 12:03:34 PM »

Blanko plays MMO's?

Saddam Hussein · « **Reply #1996 on:** March 21, 2015, 09:20:09 PM »

Evidently. Tell us what you think of it, Balkno.

Is Pongo a Blanko alt or something?

I fully expect you to also resume playing the game, PP2. Our FES guild will dominate Tamriel more than Molag Bal himself.
