Would love the kind of job where violence is an acceptable response to hostility from people you encounter, money is easily made by looting bodies and opening random treasure chests in the wilds, and magic works.

Where can I apply?

    I know you're thinking about the classic RPG experience, but your description very accurately describes being in the army lol. Makes me think about what the NPCs' perspective is about the hero's hijinks. Maybe I've now matured enough that I can finally feel bad about abusing Nazeem?

    Nah, Nazeem is part of the bourgeoise, and this is in a setting with relatively little upward economic mobility, so it’s likely that his family has always had money. He’s a landlord who gets his wealth by extracting it from a farm he owns but doesn’t work, and he uses this wealth to lord his position over the common people while he berates them for the crime of not having his fortune.

    If Skyrim were to have a French-style revolution, Nazeem would get the guillotine for sure, and I doubt anyone in Whiterun would shed a tear. Probably not even his wife, given the way she talks about him. Abuse away knowing he’s part of the parasite class.

    You’re right about the rest of it, though. I’d hate to meet most of the elder scrolls protagonists. Most of the main stories require a certain moral flexibility just to complete them.

    Monster energy? The sponsor of the Trump fight on the lawn of the white house?

    This guy fucking sucks. Fuck this guy.

    The white house lawn showcase, everyone:

    That actually looks like a pretty kick-ass job. Wait... I'm supposed to BE the dragon in this scenario, right?

    Actually, it's a wyvern. Dragons have four legs and two wings, wyverns have two legs and two wings.

    Actually that's my cock. Wyverns don't react like that when they see your mom.

    I hated the survival mode. It didn't really add much to anything, imo, and could have been built better.

    I played morrowind without understanding how fast travel worked in that game for a long while. I get the immersion thing.
