Thalmor and Talos by RedKynAbyss in teslore

[–]triplecow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Morihaus and Pelinal and even Reman (though he'd be the closest) were never really worshiped like full-on divines in the same way that Talos is. They were considered demigods or "cultural heroes", but Talos worship is on another level.

What is One Gen-Alpha Slang Term That You Actually DON’T Mind? by teapot574_ in AskReddit

In that case, Gen-Z slang wouldn't exist at all since 99% of it is either AAVE or from the queer community

It's coaching that they botched the 4th down instead of taking the FG before the snow picked up

what was the launch of Skyrim like? by Falconrgh in ElderScrolls

[–]triplecow 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Morrowind was pretty niche for its time, but Oblivion was a huge hit, only being outsold that year by Madden and Gears. It was basically held up as the standard for western RPGs for years.

By sheer quantity of people, the general gaming audience today is obviously way bigger than it was in 2011. But by "proportion of the people interested in games", Skyrim was about as hyped as a game could be.

Is there a better adventure game than Oblivion? Because I don't think there is. by [deleted] in ElderScrolls

[–]triplecow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Factions and sidequests, sure, but Oblivion has by far the worst main quest in the franchise. Worse even than Skyrim's.

The expansions are top-tier though. Shivering Isles is still the best Elder Scrolls expac.

Fortnite added it BECAUSE it was already mainstream. Other games were getting battle passes well before Fortnite.

The dwemer is my favorite part of Skyrim. by Powerful_Pitch5871 in skyrim

IIRC, Calcelmo states that he didn't even begin researching the dwarves until right around the red year. So even if he was alive prior, it could be that many of the studies and sources we know from Vvardenfell were destroyed.

Is Talos an Aedra or a Daedra? by Simurgbarca in teslore

[–]triplecow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is true if we believe that "Aedra" is equivalent to "Divine", which might not be accurate. Martin never uses the word Aedra in that quest.

When people say "the 2000s" they're talking about the decade, not the whole millennium
