The Ebonheart Pact itself, why [snip] would argonians ever ally with the dunmer?

And the Daggerfall Covenant is kinda dumb too. Bretons and Redguards hate Orcs.

One that hasn't been mentioned is portal magic...
portal magic is so inconsistent sometimes absolute no name NPCs can use portals no problem and then you have others that are completely exhausted after making a portal even experienced mages I know there a deus ex machina type thing for writers but its all over the place.

Also with portal magic so seemingly widespread why even use ships.

Honestly the mess with portals is fault of the series. It had no downsides and you could teleport about to places fine in TES3. But because they never talked of limitations it let ESO got a bit crazy with them to the point portals are very overused to the point of being used in war in PvP Cyrodiil and Stonefalls/Bal Foyan If I recall (as in a portal cast by people and not some Ayleid shenanigans like in DC/AD zone where one of them connects to each other).

one thing that really gets under my skin, like its in real deep, is the fact theres goblins on vvardenfell.

i think they could survive there, the way mirri talks about them makes them seem like cockroaches, but i dont think they fit the vibes of vvardenfell in the slightest mostly bc of tes3 worldbuilding. in tes3 they went balls to the wall with weirdness when it came to worldbuilding. it doesnt have very many connections to the generic bits of the fantasy genre such as unicorns and ogres, instead morrowind is populated with cliff racers and kagouti and adorable guar. goblins are a very generic fantasy creature, if youre gonna do worldbuilding by the books youre prolly gonna add in goblins bc everyone else has goblins.

i dont think goblins fit well with the strange ans weird vibes. they dont even need to be all over vvardenfell like they are currently bc they only appear in one side quest. even then they could prolly be replaced by bandits or cliff striders in that one quest.

if vvardenfell in eso was ever required to have goblins and i were in charge of the worldbuilding id do it differently. maybe they were part of some circus troupe that came to vvardenfell to perform for vivec but of course vivecs a bit busy with the zones main quest and had to reschedule the performance. the troupe was p much on hold and the goblins grew restless and broke out of their cages. now free they take refuge in a nearby delve. the delve quest and the daily associated with the delve could be about killing the goblin chief who organized the breakout and gathering materials the goblins took from the circus. thats how id do it if goblins were a requirement for some odd reason bc goblins just dont belong on vvardenfell

Arbitrarity of the alliances for three-banner-war were one of big reasons why I didn't give ESO chances when it originally launched and it took me so many years to give it a shot in the first place.

That being said, going through the vanilla storyline they handled Ebonheart Pact quite well - both in origin and how unnatural it would feel to many parties involved.

It was the Nedes and not the Nords that had constant wars with Morrowind. Nedes and Nords are somehow one and the same somehow? even though Nords have been in Tamriel since the Merethic Era.
