Except we are in the Dark Brotherhood, the enemy organization of the Morag Tong who seem kind of boring by comparison.

I disagree. As someone who's played through TES Morrowind, I'd say Morag Tong > Dark Brotherhood.

I would never deign to join the DB, I don't care how many shinies ZOS throws at me. Morag Tong, on the other hand..

I feel like another thing to point out is that a lot of the best Companions that are universally well-received by the players are those which lean into their race like Zerith and Sharp. Meanwhile, the Companions that generally do not fit with their race at all like Bastian and Tanlorin are generally disliked.

I definitely get the idea of wanting to make a story about someone who doesn't fit in. Heck, my main's backstory is very heavily predicated on him being an Orc but feeling more like a Nord at heart and not really feeling that he fits into Orcish culture and even being ashamed of his looks or berserker rage at times... but his story really involves coming around to feel comfortable in his skin, even if it is green.

Tanlorin really feels like someone made a list of every single trait that Altmer exemplify and said "let's make a character around the polar opposite of every one of these." I really feel like Tanlorin would have been (slightly) better received if they had been a Bosmer instead - granted the quirky attitude would still be extremely cringey, but at least the personality does seem a bit more Bosmer. Likewise, Basti being a Breton instead of an Imperial may have made more sense considering his entire story is him being Breton in all but name.

I do hope that future Companions will be a lot more respectful of their race and give us more lore along those lines like Zerith did. I'd absolutely hate to get a Bosmer who's obnoxiously vegan or a scrawny Orc who wants nothing more to put flowers in his hair and be a pwetty pwetty pwincess, especially in the absence of a more traditional member of that race.
(and new Classes. I need those in the worst way)

<Insert "burn the witch!" meme here> DK is fine right where it is. Yeah, I get shredded in BGs, but I'll live with it as long as the other classes measure up when they get their turn.

This is exactly how most people should feel. But the issue is that you can't please everyone with any implementation of a better solution, because people would complain for nerfs either way.

True. "Too many events!" and "Not enough events!"

"It's OP'd!" and "It's fine!" and "Needz MOAR!"

I sometimes think that the ESO community thrives on complaining. (I'm not immune, but I try very hard to keep it in check)

I like it. I like the color choice, and I'm liking each of my Archanist skills being different colors so I know at a glance which of my skills are active. I'm hopiing more of the skills in the line get rando color treatments.

I'm not saying people are quitting because of the DK rework.
I originally posted this because some people said that the DK rework had increased the number of players. While not at all, generally speaking the stats are decreasing and the current population peak corresponds to what happens every year at the same period.

So the DK rework does not bring any additional players, except that everyone has taken out their DK and is happy with it.

So now you're moving the goalpost of your argument now that you get called out on it?
