Aren't the Redguards based more on North Africans though?
yes, if its done well and the NPCs aren't obnoxious then most people won't care, Bethesda tends to be more subtle with wokeshit, there was only maybe 1 or 2 instances were I got legitimately annoyed with the writing/voice acting in Starfield, I believe the rumor about TES VI was it was in High Rock and Hammerfell.

Bethesda are masters of creating obnoxious NPCs.
I'm opposed to Bethesda setting TES6 in Hammerfell, not because of Redguards (I like Redguards; skin color aside, they behave nothing like niggers) but because I've come around to liking Hammerfell as a province. I do not think current Bethesda could do it justice based off of the few handcrafted maps we saw in Starfield. They simply lack the talent and creative vision. Whatever province they do settle on is unfortunately going to be sacrificed to the corn.

Starfield is really weird with a lot of this shit.

You have stuff like Barret being gay. Barrets whole story is about him and his dead gay husband, so I'd say a good 50-70% of his dialogue has to do with him being a faggot. But at the same time he's relatively low key about it? He isn't super flamboyant, he just misses his dead husband and wants to clear his name. It's to the point where him being gay doesn't even matter, but I can't decide if that's good or not cause on one hand it isn't in my face but on the other it kind of does feel like it was a checkmark on a list that they didn't really give a fuck about.

And then you have everyone in New Atlantis being a fat fuck which feels like some body positivity cehckmark thing, but I don't recall any NPC's being obnoxiously large. Like...the guy that gives you the Vanguard missions is kinda bigger. And maybe the pirate guy on the luxury ship that has Ulfrics voice is a bit big? But they're not like obnoxiously fat.

But then the Bounty Hunter mission came out, and the leader of them makes a point every five seconds of saying they're non-binary that goes by they/them because they choose to which makes me think it's going to be a lot more heavy handed from here on out.

Could be explained by Bethesda proper always being five years behind evrything, but the hired modders being current year folx. Going back to 2018 makes sense of most of the faction leaders being women, having a troon but attempting to pass it as a natal woman a la John Flynt, and 95% of the population being a mutt at best.

It's going to be funny if what kills Bethesda of all things is that ES6 reflects current media sensibilities but in 2029 the pendulum (hopefully) swung back hard.

I wouldn't have even really known this honestly, then again I never use companions in Bethesda games, their more of a hindrance then anything else
 
How will I ever know why Elder Scrolls 6 is Avdertisingb?
UPDATE: THE WAIT IS OVER! The drought of Rekieta Law content ended shortly after the clock struck midnight Saturday in Minnesota with a final tally of 24 calendar days. The title promised a series of exciting topics (link to thread), like how Elder Scrolls 6 is a "Avdertisingb NIGHTMARE" and again promising in the description a "big perosnal announcement".
Did anyone figure out what he wanted to complain about? Maybe that TES VI has only had a teaser trailer in 6 years?

I also don’t think TES 6 is going to live up to any of the previous games. It’s been a downwards trend since Skyrim (which itself simplified many previous systems), and while I feel like TES needs the creation engine to feel like a TES game, they’re gonna hodgepodge it bad.
As a lore fan, im also worried about Hammerfell. They’re gonna fuck with so many established things like sword singing or Yokuda sinking, all things that make redguards the coolest man race imo.
ESO has luckily treated the province just fine, and explored Yokudan culture a little, but I’m telling you now there is gonna be a promotional redguard chapter purely because of TES 6 when it is announced/released.
Can’t remember exactly, but I think I saw some leaks or concept artist from Bethesda liking desert and Islamic architecture on Pinterest so it’s pretty much confirmed.
 
Even the Grandma can't stand the slop anymore. And also I wish her a competent surgeon for her surgery.
I don't watch her, but I remember people saying she would start getting snippy with people in the comments like 2 years or so ago.

I think she's been sick of this game for a long time at this point.
Just...play something else? Is there nothing else she can do? I mean not much she can do as an 88 year old but surely people won't mind if she wasn't always the Skyrim Grandma?
I'm shocked she could stand the game for 10 years, I haven't touched it since 2015
Even now mods are the only thing that makes me play, it's definitely a good time with mods but without is just not worth it if you have more than 2 braincells.

The standard of the average Bethestard is so low TES 6 will sell like hot cakes regardless of the shitshow that was Fo76 and more recently Starfield. Normies don't have standards to begin with and will buy anything they have the slightest interest in or if its popular in their circle of friends that they'll be left out for 1 whole day as it keeps the other normies' attention. If it sucks, normies will shrug and move on, Bethesda will keep their money and break even, and Bethestards will defend their precious game with their lives and continue to repel real fans or just generally anyone even mildly intelligent.
 
Aren't the Redguards based more on North Africans though?
Redguards, culturally seem to be based on the orientalist view of the middle east.
Redguards are going to be the African-American nignogs of Tamriel when Bethesda is done with them. I can see all their hair being the usual afros, cornrolls, zoomer hair, dreads, or bald, nothing else. Wait until they get to the Yokudans...
Let's be honest, redguards are probably gonna turn into the Mary Sue race of tamriel in ES6. They will like magic but with none of the twisted necromancer. Warrior culture, but with none of the banditry, well organized but with no beaurocratic rot. In ES6 they'll be able to defeat the homophobic thalmor chuds and there won't be an ounce of nuance in that game.

They probably could and should hire some anthropologists from the middle east reigon to actually get an accurate feel for their vibe. They probably could recreate the more haughty/larper vibes middle easterners tend to posses but they won't. Elder scrolls 6 will be trash and I hope it never comes out.

I heard that Elder Scrolls Online went woke with a female elf claiming to be "non binary".
Wasn't there a tranny altmer character? Are they gonna become the woke race in elder scrolls? Hmmm...
 
Considering that Bethesda is perpetually a decade behind the times, when ES6 comes out in 2030, it'll probably be an Oblivion situation where you play second fiddle to the actual hero, who happens to be a Redguard tranny who whose main hobby is assraping Nords, Nazis Altmer, and colonizing slavers Dunmer to crowds unironically yelling SLAY KWEEN. Also, Orcs are erased from canon.

Yeah, which is sad. When a company gets so popular they believe themselves infallible so they just let whatever the fuck the underlings do so long as it makes money. If Starslop didn't light a fire under their ass in that not even mods will save that game (I don't even think they made their money back, they say it had a 200-400 million dollar budget but it's probably a lot more, and most of that was fucking advertising and probably engine related too), nothing will. Nah, they're too busy going after a mod for Doom II. Did they start the inevitable employee purge yet? If not, 500+ employees is going to cost them quite a pretty penny, especially if they're putting them all to work. Developers seething at the idea of their predecessors being so small on a budget far smaller and yet they make better games than their now giant company ever has or will.
 
The weapon packs from the verified creations in Skyrim look fucking awful and out of place. Were the remaining staff members of Bethesda's quality control team for picking and choosing modders to make content for their game fired or something? At least the Creation Club shit looked alright.
