So far, ? I have not seen a true rebuttle towards my argument. It stands. If Bethesda didn't like you playing an "enemy", then why would they let us play as Vampires that want to blot out the sun of the world and feed on the mortals as though they were cattle? Seems what one would call "villainous" to me.

The Thalmor are only villainous to those who are truly very ignorant. No one sets out to be "evil". The Thalmor certainly aren't evil. They just see the world differently. If one actually paid attention to the lore, one would easily see that the Thalmor are doing what they believe to be a justice to the world; i.e. taking vengence on the races of men that conquered them and brought them into their empire; they see me as Padomaic time bombs and that they are the Anuic forces trying to bring their people to what they once were; immortal.
