    Wait, there is a rapist in Oblivion? I thought Bethesda is too milk toast for such content.

      There are at least three rapists in Morrowind, although technically it isn’t really rape when somebody only wants to gently rape your corpse. So let’s keep it at two.

      Anyway, it seems they were already toning it down quite a bit in Oblivion if there was only one to be found.

      yeah…do NOT read up on how vampires came about in the elder scrolls…or anything about the daedric princes…or the dwemer…or the slough…or the falmer…especially not the bosmer…

      …actually, if you think the lore of the elder scrolls is in any way milquetoast, you clearly haven’t read ANY of it anyways.

      ES is among the most fucked up fantasy worlds in all of fantasy…like…H.P. Lovecraft/Stephen King levels of fucked up. worse, in some cases.

      but there’s tons of absurdly funny shit too!

      that’s part of what makes the ES lore so great; it’s got quite literally everything!

        It used to be. TES was metal AF before Todd Howard took over. Starting with Redguard it’s been nothing but milquetoast Tolkien fanfic.
