(Ok, last thing...

Smooshie, Grace... Wyvern.

'Why... Do you like powerful characters so much?'

I can kind of 'get' it at first. I mean, who doesn't like feeling powerful every once in a while. It's delicious. But as characters in fiction, hmmm... Not so much.

You see the best example I can give you is Superman. We all know superman, the man behind DC comics, the man of steel! yet... his comics, and his movies sell nothing compared to DC's other character. Batman. Who compared to superman, or hell any other superhero is kind of "weak" in the most innocent sense in the word. You see, Batman doesn't have the power to blow up the earth if he so desired, he does have heat vision, super strenght or superspeed. he's just a very well trained guy with issues. That's what people like! I mean, who doesn't love batman?!

That brings me back to the initional question though... Why be superman? I mean, have you ever read one of his comics? if you have you've read all of them. It's almost exactly the same formula! It gets so boring because you know superman can just melt the faces od his opponents at any time. Where are the stakes? The interesting parts?

Even you people admit:

"Eh, we're bored."

"Then write some backstory or make a pie on your own, evolve your characters." We say.

Then all of a sudden you look up and are like:

"Huh? How?"

Exactly. How? I mean having basically the living embodiement of the seasons, how can you develop that?! Having an almighty Altmer king that can zap/teleport to where ever he wants to. How do you raise the stakes for a man who can get to the other side of the freakin world within seconds save the girl that's tied up there and zap out?

You're just writing yourself in corners there, and depend on quick get aways to help you out of your OP situation by asking.

"Can we suddenly appear... Can we like teleport in? Can we this? Can we that?"

So, to be clear.

'Why... Do you like powerful characters so much?'
