Seriously. The main plot template is like: strong female character needs a support to save her weak brother/son/husband/friend. And not only that, almost all male characters look or weak, or as pretty boys!
Here some examples:
— Captain Rian Liore – just a captain cutie.
— Revus Demnevanni – useless and unconfident.
— Liam Elendis – little brother needs help from his big sis.
— Mathen Galenus – cutie but also foolish and spineless even in the afterlife.
— Bastian Hallix – despite the courageous face, he acts like a rag, also we met him defeated by woman.
— Sombren – a.k.a Jared Leto, looks like a mighty young warrior but has a very softy personality.
— Deet-loh — another little brother needs help.
— Sevilo Andus – was saved by his future wife while he has crying and screaming.
— Stibbons – an old comic character, looked good in the vanilla's darker atmosphere.
And there are more, wich I can't remeber right now.

Yeah, I know what ZOS (and every media) is trying to say: "There are strong women even in the cruel fantasy world!" I got it, alright? No problem with it. But what if I'll tell you, that you may create a strong female character without a humiliation of males? How do you like that?

[snip] let me continue my reasoning: life in tes universe is extremely dangerous, it is not an easy task for young woman to survive alone without being robbed, killed or enslaved by bandits [snip]; and it is also hard for man to not be strong and able to protect his family and home. While you may be sacrificed by mad cultists at any moment, you should be extremely careful and often unfriendly with the strangers especially with other men.

I have finished the chapter already and I liked it. Without exaggeration it is my second favorite location now (on a par with the Summerset), architecture and landscape are beyond praise! But characters and their stories... Well, I don't believe them. I'm asking you to not consider us children, we're not.
