About the Thalmor: Kirkbride no longer works for Bethesda, thus he has no more say in where the TES storyline will go. I wouldn't take his AMA too seriously. If it appears in the games I'll start taking it seriously, but Bethesda could choose to go a completely different route with the Thalmor story. After all, apart from wanting to conquer humanity, we've been told very little about their goals in-game.

I'd personally prefer it to be just a simple story of conquest. Great and powerful mystical forces from beyond Tamriel and "destroying creation" is starting to get a bit old in my opinion.

Yeah, I completely agree the Thalmor are interesting because they tackle something that usually isn't dealt with in TES Games and that's pure political conflicts. Atleast not in the regard of opposing ideologies, and I feel like the Towers theory kind of distracts from that, and the Serana thing is good too
