>You'll go no further until you have your papersI seriously don't understand.
>>744649601I forgot what he said because it was just a sound cue to remind me to grab the limeware platter
>>744649601>>744649890Redguards, both of you
I don't get it.
>>744649601>Empire of Tamriel is clearly a King of Kings system>Morrowind makes them Romans, who never had such political configurationIt amazes me people suck this game off for the "incredible worldbuilding" when it made nonsensical decisions like this.
>>744651068Nwah
>>744651068>"King of Kings was an imperial title employed primarily by monarchs based in the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. Commonly associated with Iran (historically known as Persia in the West), especially the Achaemenid and Sasanian Empires, the title was originally introduced during the Middle Assyrian Empire by King Tukulti-Ninurta I (reigned 1233–1197 BC) and was subsequently used in a number of different kingdoms and empires, including the aforementioned Persia, various Hellenic kingdoms, India, Armenia, Georgia, and Ethiopia"I'm sure the western empire ruled by people called Tiber Septim or Uriel Septim VII was based on a bunch of Persian kingdoms, anon.
>>744651068>in game culture loosely based of an ancient civilization>WTF why are they not carbon copies?Why are you a fuckin retard?
>>744651068Well in Morrowind they were half chinese, who did have such a political configuration sometimes
>>744651068"muh realism" brought to its midwitted conclusion
>>744651629>>744652068>>744652362>>744652619>>744653502The Empire before Morrowind was vague enough that it wasn't an issue.If you're committed to making them Romans, with Latin names and all, then you go all the way in.
>>744654164Why? To please your autism? Every TES race is a mixture of several real life cultures y'know, and again the Imperials in Morrowind were a mixture of several different cultures
>>744649601Obligatoryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppSPsvO19dU
>>744654786>what to point in papers?
>>744654164>noooo why did the nords have a large continental empire and paint themselves in blue paint the vikings never did that they weren't celts they were boat people!!!!!>nooooo why do the redguards have an ooga booga voodoo religion they're meant to be ayrabs they should go "allahu akbar i hate le infidels!" instead!!!>nooooo why are the bretons good mages don't they realize that real medieval europeans thought magic was SATANIC?!?!??!?
>>744654532There's mixtures of cultures and there's copy pasting Rome in a fantasy setting without adapting it to fit Rome. It's just jarring.>>744655461Nordic peoples had land empires, so Skyrim is not too much of a stretch.Redguards are their own thing, so it works.Which burning is a protestant phenomenon, way after the middle ages.Again, the complaint is that Bethesda just copy pasted Romans without thinking too much about the implications.
>>744658019>Again, the complaint is that Bethesda just copy pasted Romans without thinking too much about the implications.They didn't, retardAnd you're literally complaining about the fact they didn't lol
>>744658019But the Imperials are a mixture of Rome, Medieval Europe, China, and the British Empire and not just Rome?
>>744658170>>744658501>but the lore says that...What I care is what I see in the game, and what I see are Roman Legionnaires everywhere.That's jarring and breaks immersion.
>>744649601I don't know where to go from here. There's no indicator where I have to go.
>>744658587Well, I'm sorry to break it to ya but that's a you problem, normal people fortunately do not have crippling autism and thus are capable of understanding that just because they used a superficial aesthetic from real life for a fictional culture it doesn't mean that said fictional culture must be an exact copy of the thing from real life.And you do get to see the British Empire-like elements of the Third Empire in the game, but i guess your complaint is precisely that the Imperials don't behave like Romans despite looking like Romans, in which case refer to the first paragraph.
>>744651068>daggerfall larper try not to be retarded challenge
>>744658909There's only so much you can borrow from one source before you have to commit to the inspiration.If you have a country in a fantasy setting that dresses and behaves like 18th century Britain, you expect them to be a transplantation of IRL 18th century Britain in a fantasy setting. If you then learn they practice some weird flavor of Incan paganism, it breaks what the immersion.Had they made the Imperials you see less Roman-like, I wouldn't be bothered so much, since then it's clear they are their own thing and not Rome in another world.
>>744660423>it breaks what the immersionNot really since the setting isn't 18th century Britain? What kind of autistic logic is that? Would you also care if there was a cyber-techno samurai setting where they didn't have an emperor or didn't drink tea?
>>744660868>Would you also care if there was a cyber-techno samurai setting where they didn't have an emperor or didn't drink tea?Yes, since that conflicts with what the aesthetic is implying.It's like putting a smartphone in Lord of the Rings. At a certain point, you have to abandon the "anything goes" mentality and strive for a more coherent setting. If your empire is fantasy Rome, then you have to commit to it being fantasy Rome.
Imperials are Roman British Slavic byzantines.
>>744649601This is your threadly reminder that the Dunmer are far closer to pre-Islamic Arabs than the Redguard race is, and that Nerevar (and the player character) is very obviously based off of Mohammed.
>>744649601Бyмaги
>>744658587I think you are retarded.The point of legionnaires being everwhere was because it was to give a 0BC Judea vibe as dunmer messianic prophecies were being fulfilledMorrowind is a break down of apocalyptic cults during that time
>>744661552It is coherent, you just decided to get stuck on an insignificant detail. It's in no way like putting a smartphone in Lord of the Rings. But the hypothetical revealed you are arbitrarily drawing the lines anyway. You can accept genetically modified samurais but god forbid they drink future cool aid instead of tea.
>You're finally awake. Not even last night's storm could wake you.Huh? What?
>>744662576>You can accept genetically modified samurais but god forbid they drink future cool aid instead of tea.The cyber-techno bit is a fantasy element apart from the Samurai aesthetic. I'm not complaining the fantasy Romans in TES are using magic when IRL Romans didn't. That's retarded.If you're going to have techno Samurai, then make sure they're still Samurai. If you're going to have fantasy Romans, make sure they're still Romans. It's not that difficult.
>>744663029>messing up the line
>>744663298It a stupid basis to argue. They don't stop being inspired by Romans because they have a King in a setting where there are living gods. Just like the hypothetical techno-samurais don't stop being samurais if the setting was such that there was no shogunate because they all served some AI or whatever. They are allowed to differ from their real life inspirations.

>>744649601>oi, mate, where's your release loicence?
What was Oblivion thinking?
>>744667958Oblivion had the best looking armours. Even Morrowind looked better than Skyrim.
