Likewise,

I agree, the Thalmor are great. The thing I have issue with is that Bethesda chose to make them so obviously evil. It would have been much more fun if they had made them morally justifiable, even if they’re not entirely. You know more grey, than just black and white.

Hey, I was also thinking last night. I was thinking about your arguments about the war. And then I started to look at the war more politically than religiously. And I realised how clever the Thalmor were when they force the religious settlements on the empire. I mean looking at it politically, rather than religiously, it’s a great way to drive a wedge between Skyrim and the Empire.

So I’m thinking, maybe the Thalmor don’t really care about the whole Talos issue and that they really were just trying to weaken the empire by forcing tension between it and Skyrim.

So now I’m thinking, maybe the Thalmor are not as bad as they initially seemed. So thanks for the great debate, you really made me think about this.

Thanks,
