I don't disagree, I'm just saying that's how it could be viewed as Jew passives.

Well, they have boost on Speechcraft & Mercantile in Morrowind & Oblivion.

I dislike that imperials have jew passives but Roman aesthetics. Feels like a smokescreen.

"Jew Passives"... that's a new one.

"Jew Passives"... that's a new one.

The TES writers avoided getting blasted for Jew coding a race by divvying up Jewish characteristics over several races.
-Banking and money grubbing for Imperials
-Cultural and governmental subversion for the Altmer
-Lust for foreskins/adrenochrome and having zero moral and ethical misgivings for rape, genocide, and blasphemy for the Sload (look up how sload soap is made)

And some people question why I prefer the Stormcloaks...

...well, I, uh, didn't know about this in the lore. To be honest, I haven't done much reading on the Sload compared to other races, so this is a rather... interesting piece of information. Thank you...?

The Empire is in fucking shambles in Skyrim. Fuck them.

Sloads are from the OG writer team (Arena, Daggerfall, Redguard and Morrowind). Of course they are a cursed race.

who cares about politics
i just want to stack gold, kill dragons, and attain godhood
why yes i sided with the imperials and then assassinated the emperor i swore fealty to, how could you tell?

That would explain why I don't know much; I have yet to read some of the really old lore for the setting. So, thanks for letting me know; something to read in my spare time.

The best way to play Skyrim, frankly; sure, the game might not be the best. Still makes for a fun power fantasy simulator.

i still have no fucking idea why it's the one game that did necromancy right
it's so simple yet no other game does it as well, save maybe Wrath of the Righteous for CRPGs

The Ritual Stone/Ethereal Crown glitch or whatever you wanna call it is by far the coolest shit in the game.

In the lore, TES handles necromancy very well. Each region has different customs and legality concerning the practice, and based on climate and what we know about the native/primary racial group(s), everything makes sense.
Skyrim's only sin is the game not reacting in any way to the player becoming a necromancer, but that isn't a problem with necromancy, but rather a problem with Skyrim itself as the game doesn't react to anything at all. Still, it'd be the one thing besides being a vampire that the game should take into account, even considering that the province is iirc by far the most necromancer friendly, unless it's all some faggy meta reasoning from a designer with a swollen head.

Not to be a Jew foreskin sucker but I wouldn't say just because they find more money and they are more inclined to mercantilism doesn't make them anything remotely like a Jew. That's like saying me saving any penny I find is Jewish behavior, or like saying Orc tribalism and barbarism is akin to Africans, orcs are far superior anyway . Like the Romans, the Imperials are pretty good at it and thus it reflects on their people. But holy shit "Jew Passives" had me wheezing, using that in the future...

Lust for foreskins/adrenochrome and having zero moral and ethical misgivings for rape, genocide, and blasphemy for the Sload (look up how sload soap is made)

They're even masters of dark magic!

Cultural and governmental subversion for the Altmer

This one is pretty good, I can see that being the case.

Ahh, always nice seeing someone's reaction to Sloads and their shenanigans. Sloads are even more like Jews in this case given that they can become merchants like N'Gasta. There's a neat mod that adds some, though it's probably not lore accurate given even Morrowind has standards...I mean look at those ugly Swits. If you're wild enough to associate the Black Death with Jews like I've seen some people do for some reason (mostly on /pol/) then take a look at the Thrassian Plague. Anyway, let's not devolve into /pol/ too much.

why yes i sided with the imperials and then assassinated the emperor i swore fealty to, how could you tell?

Truly a true son of Rome Cyrodil, the Seat of Sundered Knife-Ears.

Highly recommend Pocket Guide to the Empire, First Edition for some old lore, comparing them to new lore and especially the games is fascinating and...mildly depressing at times. Especially comparing Skyrim to the old lore.

Loved that shit when I first played Skyrim on PS3, how necromancy should have been instead of that pussy shit vanilla Skyrim is. Even then that's just the bare minimum of what it should have been.

What's your standard for necromancy? I really enjoy the dark art when done right so I'm picky with it. Like Tales of Maj'Eyal and the HoMM games (mostly 3 and 5's expansion). I hear Path of Exile has good necromancy. If you're luck DF is fun with necromancy...when it works properly.

Twinned souls was the only 100 level perk that felt like a 100 level perk and the thrall spells were some of the only master level spells that felt like true mastery of a magic school. Shame that conjuration was kind of a crap tree until the very end.

All this reminds me that I really do need to give a Necromancer playthrough on Skyrim a decent shot; heard that the Anniversary Edition added in some neat Necro-themed stuff, should really try and give them a go...

Hell, I need to come up with more builds anyways; stealth archer can get dull, and I still need to create builds for the different races - already ran a Nord, High Elf, and Argonian, Redguard is up next. Doesn't one of the races in-lore have an appreciation of Necromancy? Might give me an excuse/opportunity to run a Necro...

@Tri-TachyonRepresentative Thanks for the suggestions on lore material! Really do need to catch up on the story stuff.

Best I could find was that the Khajit don't consider it blasphemous, the orcs had nothing either way, and the Nords are okay with it because Todd gets sad when the player faces consequences.

Dark Elf & Breton are better suited to main Conjuration.

 

[dick brain]

Is the idea that magic is sort of a finite resource that gets used up over time, and that's why crazier stuff was possible earlier in the lore than in the current setting, is that something from TES or am I misremembering?

Magic dying out is just something in the background, like the Tower Theory. The actual reason is because Todd's an asshole who doesn't understand that people don't always want to a Nord barbarian two-hander.

You know, I realize not many games outright do that, make you raise someone as a zombified version of that person. Shame is sometimes doesn't like to work because "they're too strong hurr durr." Just means you gotta break the game some more with enchanting. Not to mention the limitations if you aren't exploiting the game and the general jank of having an undead (also why don't people react more to having someone's rotting corpse following you beyond some "wtf" lines) following you. Man I can't tell you how many times I've lost some powerful Thralls because the game decided they got stuck somewhere.

Much as I dislike the Anniversary for various reasons, some of the creations add some nice things, like the Alternative Armors. The one you're thinking of is Necromantic Grimoire. Do yourself a favor, if you're going to use them, use some mods that make the Anniversary shit better because overall they're kind of shit.

stealth archer can get dull

People still play that? I mean yeah it's busted but don't people try other shit?

Dunmer. Kinda, it's their flavor of necromancy that the Tribunal temple uses. But really, who gives a fuck, if you use necromancy you're an outcast to any civilized society. Orc, Altmer, Bosmer, Nord, don't matter, pick your poison.

My pleasure, old ES has some of my favorite lore.

That's more speculation than anything, magicka feels weaker in the games so people wonder if there's a lore reason for that. Really it's just how the games are, lore accurate Dragonborn in game would be broken beyond broken. Lore accurate anything would be fucking nuts. I'd say it's less magicka being finite and more the amount of magicka you can channel being finite. Magicka comes from Aetherius, with most of it coming from the Sun, the biggest hole that Magnus personally ripped open when he left Mundus. Given that Aetherius is eternal (probably), I don't see magicka weakening, just Bethesda's ability to make games, which was already weak to begin with. I mean even when the sun is blocked out from the sky in Dawnguard, mages don't get weaker. In fact if you're a vampire mage you get stronger (more specifically you get your normal strength back due to the lack of sun). Or a stealth character due to the lack of light.

Bethesda will really do anything except work on The Elder Scrolls VI.
