Argonians have been mysterious for so long , that i've lost interest in learning about their culture and just grown accustomed to themPOMC S117 wrote:I think all TES cultures have their goods and bads. Personally, I find Argonian culture more interesting, mostly because I know nothing of Argonian |culture.

True, Orcs are quite boring. Maybe because we don't know much about them too; as far as I know, they never really got in control of their own territory for too long as well. Maybe they are too spread over all Tamriel to have their very own culture.Minor Edits wrote:Dunmer are the most interesting. Orcs can suck it; they bore the crap out of me.

Zug zug o'gar, lok'tar. And there is their language.Minor Edits wrote:It's because there's not much to know about Orcs. They're cultural emos. They adore being outcasts. They get married at night. They're god is ****. They're organized into clans similar to Ashlanders, with a chief and a shaman being the most important roles. The chief has breeding rights. I just described to you the entire Orc culture.

That and one of their gods is called Tall Papa, how much more badass could that be. I like the civil war that comes from assimilation of new culture vs. tradition, and the middle ground that is emerging. And come on, they fought off the Thalmor, no one else can say that. They might be a bit narrow minded when it comes to magic, but you can always role-play out of that. Personally my redguard be summoning atronachs all day, then he pulls out his warhammer and fights alongside them.
Least favorite culture, probably, gonna get hate for this, but the dunmer. I can't forgive them for their enslavement of the argonians, who happen to be my second favorite.
Likely to get even more hate for this, but I really don't care for the Dwemer either. Yeah, yeah, ancient super advanced civilization that vanished from the face of Nirn, whatever, too cliche.
It's true, they did have some Imperial deserters helping them, not to mention the Thalmor had been severely weakened by the Battle of the Red Ring, but still. Glad to know I'm not alone.philfredobob wrote:my friend, you are not alonePlomidy wrote:Honestly, I like the redguard the best. The way they see their time on Nirn unlike any other race of man.

i dont like Dunmer and Dwemer cultures either
and i love the Redguards
and redguards also defeated the orcs and pushed em out of of Hammerfall when they arrived, just to add to their accomplishments
but i think some Leigons of Imperial deserters helped them against the thalmor. i read that somewhere but im not sure of it
dont Nords do that too ?GodsBePraised wrote:Dunmer. Reach heaven through violence!
). In fact, I'd say more so. I wasn't even aware of a Dunmer 'heaven' or equivalent.
Yeah, pretty much agree with everything you've written (Oblivion was my first ES game too!). I thought Skyrim was an improvement on Oblivion, but it still doesn't make me fall in love with it, like Morrowind did.Anonymous98223 wrote:I thought all of the cultures of Tamriel where interesting as they where described in Morrowind, but the last two games haven't been able to live up to the picture they painted back then. they've all created some new interesting lore, but nothing great. Why the hell would they revert to generic fantasy for Oblivion, it was the unique theme of Morrowind that made the series great in the first place. I was astonished when I played Morrowind for the first time, I had played Oblivion first, but when I realized what Cyrodiil could of been I was disappointed. And when I first saw the trailer for Skyrim I was so excited, then I heard that Todd Howard was going for the feel of Morrowind again, and I was even more so. But now that I've played the game I'm slightly disappointed, wheres the Nordic culture I loved in Morrowind, where are the Nordic gods, Shor and Ysmir, Beth. didn't even elaborate on the differences between Elven and Human cultures, instead Beth. tries to erase those differences and make the Nords the same. Ancient Nords worshiped Shor! Not Dragons I say! Shor! Not that Skyrim is a bad game, but it didn't live up to expectations. I think its because Michael Kirkbrides not directly involved anymore that the lore has been lacking.
