To be fair, Skyrim is a land of knuckledragging retards. Of course you'd take an applicant being able to cast a fireball.
Bosmer are cannibals. Their god Y'ffre requires them to eat all fallen foes or else when in Valenwood.
Dunmer women are whores.
This is why society and thinking would eventually regress back to early medieval levels like that "if you do not agree with me you will die" short of shit. Medieval Jesuits and the Far Left are essentially the same thing reskinned.
The mage guild quests also suck in terms of having you do spellcaster related shit, once you’ve gained admission you can solve every quest unga bunga style without having to cast a single spell.
In the imperial cult questline in Morrowind, they made you a role that is specifically for adventurers, which was a nice change of pace. Also Oblivion's fighter guild in the end you actually had the option to somewhat manage the guild, and collect guild earnings, of course though in classic Bethesda fashion they throw away cool stuff and add shit nobody asked for
If you side with the Dawnguard, you become a well-respected member, but Isran remains in charge. It's probably my favorite reason for siding with them.
Becoming the leader of a faction that you can't actually give any orders to is always anticlimactic in games.
I liked the restraint that they had in Skyrim to say "no you cant become the ruler of a fucking country don't be retarded" in the civil war questline I just wish it was an option for all the factions. It would be nice if the Collage of Winterhold made someone like Tolfdir Archmage and made you something like "oh in your honour we created a new title, Guardian of Magnus, may you bring honour to the arcane arts blah, blah, blah" or "you are head of field research, perks include unlimited sabbaticals" Because if I want to rp a character that's a powerful mage that's high up in the college I have to a) get to a high rank, learn about a potentially world ending magical threat involving the architect of creation and go "nah not my problem" or B) Become the dean of a college and then spend 99% of my time grave robbing, skill-maxxing in a cave, depopulating the bandit population or helping a goth girl with her sun destroying daddy issues
I think they're complaining because Arthmoor managed to get publishing control over the unofficial oblivion patch and was first to published the unofficial skyrim patch, he doesn't give permission to anyone to make any forks, and redditors are too lazy to make their own patches. They feel he is squatting the position as the unofficial patch maker
You underestimate the pettiness of modders.
Describing predditors as modders is a stretch. They're simply parroting whatever their discord modding daddy's opinions are.
As in he rushed it out so it would be the first one on the scene, become the most popular and other mods would then start using it as a prerequisite.
I have heard that the dude can be kind of a prick but tbf he made some of the most popular mods so he probably deals with waves of dipshits everyday and all the gay petty backroom modder drama but I kind of feel like with mods, as long as you are giving due credit and not locking stuff behind paywalls, making new versions of or using chunks of other mods shouldn't be an issue nor should mods "competing" with yours. I always saw modding as passion projects where you are making changes that you want and sharing it with everyone to do as they please.
There's some NPC in Shivering Isles that berates the Hero specifically on their race, but I can't remember who.
