This is hardly a huge issue with the game - it is not by any means a bug or a game breaking feature, but an issue that is beginning to have a growing impact on me. One of the defining features of TES games is the deeply interesting lore that it is submerged in, and the way this background integrates with the immersive nature of the gameplay. This is somewhat handicapped for me in TESO - by having the game set only 300 years before the birth of Hjalti Early-Beard.

Obviously 300 hundred years is a long time right? I mean all of the single players TES titles are set roughly within a millenia of each other. However it is still very undermining of my experience - especially when I am playing with the Dominion - that within a single Altmer generation, Talos is going to storm into Cyrodil and wipe all of Tamriel with the asses of the First Aldmeri dominion. I struggle to look at Ayrenn with any level of insipiration when all I can see is her ass getting handed to her by the Ninth divine for whom I won a civil war for in TESV Skyrim.

A simple solution for this would be obviously to just quit, give up - and start playing for the Ebonheart Pact or something - but what's the point? I can't help but feel that as fun as PvP can be, why are we bothering? Talos is just going to bloody whoop us all - (I'm looking at you too Daggerfall scum - Sancre Tor is literally just around the historical corner) .

Obviously many players may be blithely unaware of the imminent future and may continue enjoying this PvP experience - but to me, this does matter. I have trying to make excuses, or coping strategies of how perhaps Ayrenn might ally with Talos in overthrowing perhaps what will be a prevailing Aldmeri regime of racism and elvish supremacism - but does this mean that the Veiled inheritance is going to win? Is Teso then non-cannonical? Is Talos a scum-bag (hey I played through with the Imperials in Skyrim too) that ends up conquering a righteous Aldmeri dominion - what's the point of this all?

Eitherway, I'll probably carry on with the game regardless - but I need some for of support right now for me poor Khajit in the Dominion - otherwise this cancerous thought might get the better of me and I may soon be fighting under the Red Flag.

Talos guide you all - A third to victory, and the rest to a bloody humiliating tale of conquest heralded by proportions of divine ascension.
