The new prince is just this random slut. Credit where it's due, they didn't go for some bipoc enby disabled mystery meat at least.

Yeah I was legit worried they were going to do a trans and/or non-binary character because Daedric Princes don't really have a defined gender. There's still plenty of ways they could make this character boring and contrived but at least being in Skingrad and interacting with Colovian Imperials will be a nice change of pace from some of the stuff that's already in the game. Personally they could've used one of the more under-utilized Daedra instead of making a new Prince but I'm holding out some hope.

She'll just be forgotten again at the end of the story and it will be like the quest line never even happened because hermamora will be the only one who will remember. Probably.

Yeah I honestly think the Prince will end up confined to a secret wing of Hermaeus Mora's library or some shit like that. Since it's part of the Necrom storyline and they aren't part of any games chronologically after ESO I genuinely think that's the obvious answer for how they write around the character. I just hope that they don't alter other Daedric Prince's origin by either being a precursor to a known Prince or having some sort of established relationship with the other Princes that magically doesn't come up later.

Memes aside, it'd honestly be pretty funny if ES6 revealed that Paarthurnax really was evil.

"Oh, Delphine? That NPC you all hated and killed using console commands? She was actually right, and now you have to do more tedious dragon fights because you didn't listen to her when she asked you to kill Paarthurnax."

The butthurt from Skybabies alone would be worth it.

She's kind of an asshole even without the whole "muh fuhrer dragon" stick.
She somehow is able to get the horn thing without shouths, then bosses you around and doesn't sees you as a person but as a tool to kill more dragons.

Another crystal-based Prince? They'll do anything to avoid referencing Jyggalag again, huh? Unless they already did so in ESO, but I have no intentions of ever playing it, so...
Click to expand...
Nah, Jyggalag's sword is a transmog item for two-handed weapons. I don't think anything gets omitted, Jyggalag was simply a backup prince they added in Morrowind in one of the books, and I doubt the ESO team wants to suddenly invalidate all of SI by suddenly making him a prominent character. Then again, dude Dragon Breaks lmao.

Pretending to love the classic titles (despite never playing them) and hating the heccing worst game ever, Skyrim, is how these people operate, usually because they watched the latest 9 hour video essay on it from some faggot YouTuber and realize they can just regurgitate talking points for clout.

It would just mean we'd have more enemy types to fight, and in the end that still makes Parth based in my book. I don't care what old weeaboo dried up hags have to say, dragonbros before dragonhoes.

You know, I was actually about to ask everyone here on their opinions of Paarthurnax and the Blades in Skyrim, but... well, it seems that my question is already answered. Which I can agree with; pretty neutral on Paarth, but Delphine is annoying to deal with, in my opinion.

Well, i don't know.
That's up to you. Paathurnax's Tyranny of the Voice is a double-edged sword if you hate submission.
Delphine doesn't even tell you about it, just kill the dragon 'cus he needs to pay. That's the funny part.

IMO, i just love killing gay dragons in general and Super Mario Paathurnax isn't the exception.

Dragons talking a mixture of dragon language and english ain't that different from ebonic, but at least dragons do provide you help and let you learn new shouths; both the red dragon and dlc zombie dragon do reward you for besting him with the ability to call them to aid you in combat like a lamer version of Apollo Creed in Rocky 3, and the latter even rewards you further with teaching his customized shouth; paathurnax on the other time let you boost 3 of your shouths and provides you 1/3 of fire breath on meething; on the meantime delphine gives you 2 rewards for killing him and for any sort of help you do provide her: jack and shit.
It's the same issue with the destroy the dark brotherhood quest; it asks you to kill the only good part about the guild (the side characters that still die later) and the reward is 3000 gold.
Even fallout 3 doesn't fucks up this bad; if you decide to destroy the citadel, you get a unique .44 magnum that deals almost twice as much damage as the regular version; but in Skyrim you have virtually no gameplay reason to do it.
If, I dunno, you were told that the windshear sword or something alike was stuck in his body and it couldn't be taken without killing him, it would've made it far more interesting on a gameplay level.

Delphines entire argument is bullshit anyways as she invokes the legacy of Tiber Septim at one point. I'm a casual when it comes to the lore at best, but I'm pretty sure Tibers use of the Numidium to decimate the royal families who did not support him as well as basically time fuck the High Elves into compliance is at the very least equal to what Paarth did.

So basically, in my mind as Dragonborn Delphine is a useless cunt who used me to further her own agenda while Paarth helped me out and gave me the info I needed to defeat Alduin. Paarth is more my ally, so I'm not going to kill him unless he gives me a reason to. If Delphine wants to kill him, she can actually do her fucking job for once and kill a fucking dragon herself. I don't have shit to prove to her.

It's meant for roleplay, I'm pretty sure. If you're playing a "good" character it gives you a "good" choice to make when you're forced into killing one of three random people. (or in my case, simply not taking orders from dumb cunts)

They offer a similar thing to get around doing anything for Brynjolf, but it isn't telegraphed to you at all and doesn't result in destroying the Thieves Guild, so it makes me wonder why they went to all that trouble for Dark Brotherhood when it could have just ended at you killing Astrid.

"Because role-play" ain't a good reason gameplay wise, especially since quests like pieces of the past exists; regardles of killing or not Silus, you'll get access to the shrine's vault that is filled to the brim with really good shit, the razor itself is a reskinned daedric dagger with an enchantment that makes it a worse version of wabbajack, it's useful if you're save-scumming your way out of 2 daugr deathlords but you can easily live without it anyway.

Feeling sorry for Brinjolf, you and him are dragged into giving away your souls to nocturnal because you totally needed that in order to defeat mercer.
Under normal circumstance, that, the final main quest about un-stealing the best daedric artefact in the series and the insane requirement of 5 radial quests per city would make the thieves guild the worst questline of the game; but then you remember the winterhold accademy being a thing and you just lean back and realize that the more you think about the game, the more shit it start to feel, and I dare to repeat, it's not because the game itself is shit; but because the shit part is the only one you're likely to remember as the rest faded as the memory of James cameron's avatar or most of phase 2-3 of the MCU.
