What is something in ESO you don't quite get?

I was waiting on my daily dolmen, and it hit me in the face; If Molag Bal really is as evil as people claim, then how come he hasn't broken the "Daedric Princes cannot enter Nirn or something" law and just waltzed into Nirn and started killing people, instead of trying to bring Nirn to himself? I mean he's evil right, so he should be above the law.

    Presumably what he gets out of maintaining the pact is something he values.

    how the NPCs can be so trusting in a world full of evil-doers. I will be going along my happy way killing things because they are near a flower I want to pick and someone will run up and ask if I will take their family heirloom half way across the continent for them. Even worse, I've foiled the plots of deities and I say sure I'll be your courier for a modicum of gold.

    Why do I do that? Really? I mean half the time (at least) I know I will just want to give someone along the way a swift kick to the shin, or worse, and instead I smile and say happy I could help.

    I want to kick some shins.

    Technically none of the Deadric Princes are evil. They're amoral (by mortal standards) because well, they're not mortals. They operate with values we can't even begin to comprehend. Separating deadra in general and Deadric Princes in particular into good and evil is nonsense.

    As for what I don't get? Why when I'm at a crafting station, crafting furniture, I can't see an example of what it looks like before crafting.
    Why does this game not have loadouts?
    And why are there three wood elf zones in the base game?
    Why would anyone ever follow Emeric?

    Not sure what the button is for it on pc but there's a preview option to look at the furniture before crafting it.

    On pc when in the furniture crafting setup at any given station preview is the T key.

    Some player behaviors.
    No not being selfish just stupid.
    Vet CoA1 pledge done, 1 second after boss drops one player leave group.
    5 seconds after boss drops friend post: some want BSW flame staff and some random stuff.
    This one and other did too.
    Gave an monster set I had and got some weird stuff.
    3rd guy was very happy.as he got the staff and bunch of other stuff.
    Nice run, some died from fall or rushing but else it was smooth.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Why main story bosses are not part of endgame content?

    It is a glaring flaw and makes the story anticlimactic & disappointing

    Actually I find that refreshing.

    Locking story moments in endgame content is one of WoWs biggest flaws. It’s why they made raid finder (that the WoW community complains about constantly) and why they don’t need that here.

    Trials have their own story they don’t need to leave the lore community (which tend to not be endgame players) in the cold.

    The dragon fires which go out when the emperor falsely tries to become a dragonborn, leave the path open for the invasion.

    “After meeting with The Prophet in the Harborage, he reveals how Molag Bal and Mannimarco were able to weaken the bonds between Tamriel and Oblivion. At an event called the Soulburst, Mannimarco tricked the Emperor into trying to proclaim himself Dragonborn. The Emperor died, and the Amulet of Kings was lost. The Prophet made inquiries about the event, which is why he was thrown in Coldharbour.“

    I know the answer to this one. The PvP community is already small given the content we now have. Creating more PvP content would spread the PvP population even thinner and that isn't good for the game. Refining existing content is the way to go with PvP.

    What bugs me is why Bosmers are not stealthy.

    Or rather they were stealthy, become un-stealthy, and then later on they somehow become stealthy again.

    But new content would bring more players back and would repopulate it.

    We are kind of hijacking the thread but I doubt more content would bring enough players back to make it worth while and to make up for thinning the population. To many performance problems. PvP doesn't need the content PvE does. THe flow in PvP is in player dynamics where the flow in PvE is exploring new content.

    What's "stupid" about that? No one is required to wait around and see if anyone wants something or has stuff to trade. Leaving a pug after you complete the content is "stupid"???

    I give all my characters little quirks just because I thought it would be fun. One would dye her armor a different color before any dungeon or trial run. If I did all three pledges that was three visits to the dye station. When costumes came to be if I was with a pug group instead of making them wait I would switch costumes. I like wasting time with dye combinations when waiting for a trial group to fill.

    I did find a color combination I really like for my one character so now I need to find her a new quirk. Kind of odd that I like using the dye station in the game because in real life I don't even really care if my socks match.

    Why PvP and pve can't be balanced separately. They don't play the same.

    As for in game, why constant duels to the death are ignored in town limits and especially wayshrines. If you're seen picking up an item, use a necromancer ability, seen killing an npc you get instant bounty and heat, but 30 people hanging out at a wayshrine throwing dangerous magicka and weapons around killing people and the guards just shrug.

    I love that! For whatever reason I open the outfit station and it's just too much, too many sets and combinations. Lol

    It's silly but I choose a seasonal look from my costumes, paired with a dye stamp set, and wear one of those about seventy-five percent of the time. Most people would probably find me pretty funny, running around in my bright red and green Christmas robes.
