    The Vile Manse unnerves me more with each time I do it. There's something about whole fleets of people just hanging around for all time in a barely-lit basement that really creeps me out.

    When you learn the backstory to the Hound, you realize who the real victim is. The Hound and the new Green Lady grew up in the same village. They were childhood friends and grew to love each other. But when she was chosen as the next Green Lady, her sense of Duty was stronger than her Love, and the Hound was betrayed, abandoned, devastated. Forced to let her go to be married to someone else. Everything he did, was out of pain and sorrow and a last desperate attempt to regain his other half.

    And I killed him.

    And they thanked me for it.

    And the dialogue options forced me to congratulate the married "couple", as the Green Lady joked to me about the vigorous Honeymoon to follow.

    he murdered people out of sorrow?

    That's a bit of an Oversimplification. You should read the replies. Basically he did so by feelings of Sorrow, anger, and betrayal.

    1.) When i start the game, the music in the game startup is way too loud. Much louder than everything else in the game. I turned all the music off in the settings, but this annoying loud music greets me anyway. Every time. Until i press "play". Makes me feel irritated.

    2.) When my character loads in, first thing i see is the crownstore. Telling me to spend more money. Makes me feel manipulated.

    3.) When i log out to switch character, a third of the screen will be black, telling me "You will logout in 10 seconds". The rest of the screen is just my character standing there. When someone whispers me in that time, i don't see it. When someone stands next to me and says hello, i don't see it. Makes me feel sorry and anxious.

    4.) In the game the healthbars and nameplates are inconsistent. For example, i can't see the nameplates of bankers and merchants, and i can't see the healthbars of guards. I turned on everything, but the game doesn't care. Makes me feel stupid.

    5.) When i look in my guild rosters i see that most people are not playing anymore. Makes me sad.

    6.) So a few minutes after starting the game i am already a little bit "unsettled" in a couple of different ways. When i start playing the game i encounter a random mix of performance issues and bugs. Every time. Makes me angry.

    7.) When i take a look at this forum, read about all the new problems on top of the old ones, see that nothing has changed and nobody is doing anything about it. It makes me want to give up and delete the game.

    Boss mechanics can be considered lore if you are playing the dungeon only for the story and not farming it. You encounter an enemy with a move that is hard to defend against and so you have to think of ways to deal with it. It makes the enemy memorable, but also is an unsettling experience because of the uncertainty, yes.

    I also thought the Jester Anglidor daily reward guy was kind of freaky, I had to remove him from my house.

    Today I did the Vaults of Madness and fell off the edge where you have to jump down across the broken paths missing the path below so died and had to run through the dungeon to get to where I fell. After the first fall I dreaded falling again. Then I did.

    soloing banished cells 2 on my less than meta stamsorc. that teleporting lady took me like 20 tries to get past. most annoying fight ever. Avoided the vet version for ages becasue of it. Ive since been in there multiple times and wiped the floor with them, but everytime i get it in random q i'm instinctivly like, "nooo'.

    Also those longlegged nightmare things in the new chapter. I can't take seriously most anything this game says is supposed to be scary, but those things are *** creepy. good job devs.

    Going off all the agrees to the opposition to my opinion I know I pretty much stand alone in my interpretation, and that's fine. I've always been a Devil's Advocate.

    Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.

But when she was chosen as the next Green Lady, her sense of Duty was stronger than her Love, and the Hound was betrayed, abandoned, devastated. Forced to let her go to be married to someone else. Everything he did, was out of pain and sorrow and a last desperate attempt to regain his other half.

    And I killed him.

    And they thanked me for it.

    And the dialogue options forced me to congratulate the married "couple", as the Green Lady joked to me about the vigorous Honeymoon to follow.

    he murdered people out of sorrow?

    That's a bit of an Oversimplification. You should read the replies. Basically he did so by feelings of Sorrow, anger, and betrayal.

    Going off all the agrees to the opposition to my opinion I know I pretty much stand alone in my interpretation, and that's fine. I've always been a Devil's Advocate. Comes from a long history of feeling victimized for misunderstandings. I know how it feels personally, which is why I sympathize with the character.

She "looks forward" to it mainly because she has no choice in the matter, it's an obligation to her people that must be obeyed.

    ??????? I understand having sympathy for the Hound, but how is that story NOT a massive infringement on her rights?

    Gwaering: "The Daedric Prince? I won't hear any more. If you think I'd turn against my people, you're mad."
    Ulthorn: "I don't care what it takes. Gwaering, I won't let this die. I'll do anything for you!"
    Gwaering: "Anything? Then stop! My duty is to my people. I will protect them from any threat. Even you!"
    Ulthorn: "Gwaering …."
    Gwaering: "Take back the amulet, Ulthorn. Take it, and remember what we once were."
    Ulthorn: "This isn't over. This is not the end!"

    Yup. This is why as much as i pity Ulthorn, him calling for Hircine's aid and refusal to accept her choice is what ultimately caused his downfall.

    Guess I'm just a bleeding heart for those who were wronged, and fell down a dark path.

    he chose that dark path.

    Considering the variables influencing his emotions. Agree to disagree.

    if someone does something influenced by emotions like anger they still chose to do that. if Hircine possessed the Hound and literally made him do evil it wouldn't be his choice, but that didn't happen so despite emotions he still chose evil.
    an emotion doesn't make a choice not someone's choice

    Back to things that unsettle (me) in the sense of disturbing me physically or causing fear/anxiety in game

    ~Guar mounts. Physiologically they are so unbalanced looking and their movement unsettles my stomach to watch. (I know I am going to get lot of flack for this, but it is what it is. I don't want to remove them. I understand some people think they are cute. )

    ~The Twilight flapping, even in the corner of my screen. If there's a visual opposite to ASMR, that's it.

    ~vWGT and the cage mechanic. When I was learning to heal I could not pick a lock to save my life. So I died. Then everyone else did. A lot. Only got the clear when I played with a player who could rescue me in time. A better computer and internet solved my lockpicking issues just about the same time anyone could heal thru the fire damage or simply burn the Adjudicator so fast the mech didn't matter. I still get residual panic feelings in that fight :)

    ~Drodda (Icereach) left me in tears. I knew I had to break free. I had the stam to break free but I couldn't in time so she healed up. (And yes, I had keybound-mousebound- break free already because it rarely worked with the default settings) I finally wailed to the group "Just leave me dead". My guildies were kind and watched me try to do the break free animation after the fight. Over and over. It worked about 30% of the time. As a consequence I loathe split second mechs that don't take into account lag.

    ~Maelstrom. oops, don't mention the Maelstrom. ;)

    On a side note: There were far too many instant reaction mechs creeping into dungeon/trial design until ESO came to Pax Australia. I have noticed since then things like the lasers in Frostvault, getting thru doors in time in other dungeons, roll dodging not moving your hitbox so you die even outside the red, and many other reaction based mechs are more forgiving. It may just be coincidence but there's nothing like actually experiencing the delay from the other side of the world to stop players (and devs) from saying L2P! It's hard to L2P when you don't see stuff happening (which is just plain physics) until it's too late to deal with it. So I really appreciate the move away from relying on people having less than 200 ping and the reaction speed of a 20 year old athlete as a standard mechanic design.

    How do you know for sure that didn't happen? Hircine, a Daedric Prince. Once the deal was struck his Soul was Hircine's. Devastating heartbreak combined with Daedric corruption. Things get real foggy.

    If you need a comparison, Dark Side Anakin Skywalker.

    Also this is now my end to my part of this discussion. Any more of me debating my support of a villain character and someone will probably report me for trolling or something.
