Why can't you choose to join with Dagoth Ur and drive the n'wahs out of Morrowind? I thought the whole game was building up to this but you are forced to pick the reddit option.
>>
>>750153767
Because Dagoth Ur is an insane person who wants to turn everybody in Morrowind into the schizophrenic anteater zombies you fight throughout the game and also eventually build his own continent-spamming Empire, thus making the whole "driving n'wahs out of Morrowind" thing a sham. He tells you at the end.
>>
because it's a bad RPG
>>
You are not allowed to actively fight for the mer-side in these games.
Regardless of how much they claim "you can do everything!", fighting for mer and furthering mer causes is the thing you are not allowed to do.
>>
>>750153767
Because everyone in Vvardenfell is retarded.

You can and do so in Morrowind. I'm sorry if your secondary Dagoth Ur memes made him seem like a real cool guy, but getting mutated beyond recognition by corprus is not within the Dunmer's interests
>>
>>750153767
Because the game is clearly unfinished.
>>
>>750154378
Dungmer are the niggers of Tamriel, even niggerer than the actual blacks
they are a stain on the mer
>>
>>750154472
That still means you fight for the mer-side in Morrowind since Dagoth Ur also wanted to turn everybody else in Tamriel into freak zombies
>>
>>750154378
No, you can't even in Morrowind.
You can join their houses, but none of their questlines deal with fighting against the Imperials, or have you in some way reduce the Empire's influence in Vvardenfell, or strengthen the houses against Imperial influence.
>>
>>750153767
You wanted everyone to be a mutated abomination?
>>
Dagoth ur is no different to the master from fallout 1. His plans will fail since their mutants are sterile
>>
>>750153767
there are no reddit options in this game, you're fulfilling a prophecy that has been foretold. your free will only extends to the method you use to kill Dagoth Ur.

the entire game is reddit

Lord Dagoth and Saint Nerevar were allies, and Nerevar was betrayed and murdered by the Tribunal. Why can't I join my old friend and take revenge against the traitors?
>>
>>750158248
Because your friend, according to many accounts, actually did also betray you, and even if he hadn't he is currently insane and intends to turn everybody in the continent into malformed monsters, as repeatedly pointed out throughout this thread
>>
>>750158395
Ok but what if I wanted that to happen? What if the player went crazy after contracting corpus disease? The whole game is setting up Dagoth Ur pleading the Nerevarine to join him, and you can't even pretend to play along in joining him? Roleplay my ass.
>>
>>750153767
He specifically tells you why you can't. He admits that he's too paranoid to ever actually trust you and he'd have killed you.
>>
>>750154169
>continent-spamming Empire
At what rate does this empire churn out continents exactly?
>>
>>750154768
That's fine. He'll just create new people like he created the ash vampires.

Because having that much freedom was too much work and they didn't want to have to do another Warp In The West

Yeah, Dagoth is such a nice guy he sends dreamers after us to try to assassinate us. >>750159403
is right, Dagoth was consumed by his love for the heart and what he could do with it if he completed Akulakhan. He wasn't going to let somebody claiming to be Nerevar ever actually get close enough to him.

Dagoth Ur wants more then just drive the N'wahs out of Morrowind and be a Nationalist. Dagoth Ur is no Ulfric Stormcloak. He wants to basically create a new religion that every Dunmer has to worship and be the immortal ruler/dictator over all of Morrowind. If he would succeed he would also start a war with the Empire to attack Skyrim and Argonia to take back Land that was part of Morrowind at one point in history.

You can either accept the inherent limitations of CRPGs and work with those limitations in order to create a more compelling narrative or you can just dislike CRPGs on a conceptual level.

It's not in the interest of most of the Dunmer on the island or mainland to want Dagoth Ur as a ruler. The most ultra-nationalist house is the most opposed to house Dagoth because Dagoth was secular along with the Dwemer. At this point in history Dunmer nationalism is closely tied with the Temple and has been for thousands of years. Remove the Temple and the Almsivi and the Empire and you have a bunch of city states that will immediately go to war with each other. Applying modern nationalist shit to this setting is retarded.

>>750153767
He would have killed all the redguards and since bethesda are nigger lovers they couldn't allow that
>>
>>750153767
N'wah, YOU are an n'wah.
Did the fact that every single person on the island calls you an outlander and the fact that you're an Imperial prisoner who is drafted into the Imperial spy agency not tip you off to the fact that your ass is a foreigner?

Are you retarded? Dagoth Ur does not want to simply drive out people out of Morrowind
His endgame includes but is not limited to turning the entire plane of Mundus into a giant hive of cronenbergian monsters that want to erase Gods from existence using a reality breaking robot
Do people consistently forget that his endgoal is to wage war on gods?
How would that even be an option? That is apocalypse for the verse
>>
>>750166536
Wage a war on Empire? That's the smallest problem
If he fucking finishes Akulakhan he will wage a war on reality.

Morrowind's story is just retarded if you think about it for two seconds.
Why did the Chimer (now Duner) for some reason decide to listen to Vivec's retarded ramblings about how they were always gods and he was born as a talking egg and smothered a Nord with his vag to stop his Shouting and fucked Daedric Princes and shit instead of deciding they were heretics against the Daedra and ancestors they worshipped?

There was a big mod u quite enjoyed where you could. It let you go through the three stages of transformation and have your own temple too. Had multiple endings where right at the end you could usurp Voryn with the Moon and Star ring.
Was pretty cool. Dropping the ministry onto Vivek while surfing on it as a heartwright was fun.

Solipsism running wild.
When you think everyone is just part of your self (not the greater Self/Brahman of the universe but an individual self) then you have no empathy for other individuals because you are in the delusion that they are minor fragments of your imagination and you don't feel what they do.
That causes a solipsist to potentially treat all other life with no regard for what is good.
>>
>>750153767
You have to remember that underneath the eloquent language Dagoth is a zombie schizo who had romantic feelings for Nerevar and was killed by Nerevar.
He'll inevitably have a melty for whatever reason, be it you looking different from Nerevar or you acting different from Nerevar or him remembering Nerevar putting him in the dirt or... etc etc, and turn on you but now you've empowered him even more.

The simplest answer is because the game was super rushed and put out as a last ditch effort to not go bankrupt.

>>750189038
no, you are a tourist
>>
>>750182383
Something that a lot of people on /v/ seem to miss, i suppose mostly because of the strangely exclusionist and often Divines-centric definition of "god" that some TES fans here developed for some incomprehensible reason, is that the Tribunal ARE gods, and for most of their existence they did indeed possess the powers befitting of a god, they are not just powerful people and they didn't start weakening into thw state seem in Morrowind until after Dagorh Ur's awakening and their loss of the Heart of Lorkhan shortly before the Armistice. For the average Dunmer after Red Mountain they'd probably be like "damm Nerevar's generals are super powerful now and they claim to be gods. Who am I to say otherwise?" and y'know, the Temple and its doctrine probably weren't established immediately nor peacefully, so it probably took some generations for the mythology in the Lessons to solidify and for detractors to get "reeducated".

>>750153767
>Why can't you choose to drive the n'wahs out of Morrowind?

>>750189543
No, they WERE gods
half-assed gods relying on an artifact to keep their power
they no longer have access to that artifact.
they are former hack-gods that became something more like demigods.

>>750182383
and as for you, when the tribunal did their bullshit godpower-siphoning, it fucked with time and let them overwrite history.
Or at least, Vivec did, because he was a gay little faggot about it.
The dragonbreak caused by the Dwemer thanos-snapping themselves probably gave him an easy opening to do it.
People debate whether he actually did metaphysics bullshit, but the obvious interference in it by daedra like Molag Bal make it obvious, to me.

>>750189649
I have owned the game for 25 years, tourist.
You know nothing of the long term games both the imperials and the dunmer are trying to play.
>>
>>750189749
>it fucked with time and let them overwrite history
>dragonbreak caused by the Dwemer

>he's a retard who gets all his knowledge from fan theories
How about you finally boot up the game you've owned for 25 years and actually try playing it?
There have been two factual Dragon Breaks. The Middle Dawn and the Warp in the West. Anything else is fan bullshit.
>>
>>750189969
There is a common book in-game called
>Where were you when dragon broke"
That mentions how it is believed Red Mountain also had a dragon break.
An in game scholar who is an expert on the Middle Dawn dragon break SAYS that the same thing probably happened at Red Mountain
The dwemer literally vanished out of time.
Every account that is first-hand is an explicitly different timeline.

But of course a retarded tourist like you wouldn't have played the game and read any of the books.
>>
>>750189969
Oh, and this is before we even GET into how the fucking SOURCE of the dragonbreak in daggerfall was made by activating the dwemer war machine numinidian
The one they built at Red Mountain.
The machine, that makes dragon breaks, EVERY time it activates, was built and first activated while being powered by Lorkhans heart.
At Red Mountain.
You stupid fucking tourist.

This is also before we get into the OTHER dragon breaks you think are "fan fiction" like Pelinal's experience with Akatosh after trying to slaughter the cats.
>>
One thing that always irked me a bit is that you get railroaded into becoming a Blade’s member if you play the story straight. So when the Temple accuses you of being an Imperial stooge, they aren’t necessarily wrong.
Luckily the game is structured in a way that you can totally roleplay as just fulfilling the Nerevarine prophecy and ignoring the Empire for the most part.
