    Yeahs, and, not to invoke Godwin's. Law, but not all Germans were Nazis. All Nazis (or a vast majority of them), were German, but that doesn't mean all Germans are Nazis.

    Do you know what? I really hate the Dwemer. I hate the concept, I hate the architecture and I hate just about anything to do with them. I've never said that before. But if someone told me now the next game would be about the Dwemer I'd still play it. I'd actually give the game a chance to convert me, rather than prejudge something out of stupid preconceptions I might have.

    But you all never give MK's writing that chance, despite the fact he wrote the lore you use.

    I'm done with this.

    She has a right to be paranoid about Paarthunaax, but not all Thalmor. I'm pretty sure the Aldmeri Dominion as a whole would rather have the Blades in a fair trial to decide their fate.

    Why do you hate their concept? I like it, it's a breath of fresh air than just short humans with long beards, almost no women shown, and having an obsession with digging and gold in most fantasy.

    Nobody is accusing all Altmer of being evil. Just the Thalmor, and with good reason.

    He wrote a small percentage of the lore we use.

    And I did try reading MK's C0DA; so it had a 'chance'. It sucked.

    Guys, everyone knows the Dwemer ended up on Masser. :&

    I suggested he was saw the Altmer through rose-tinted glasses, judging from what I've read of his responses about the topic of elves in general. I have nothing but praise for his Lore articles, and his writing does convey the attitude of the races he is writing about.

    C0da was hard to read through. I thought it was pretentious and worked too hard at it to boot.
