Those braincells I lost, I'm never getting them back.
Well, that thread isn't a "lonely example". Since Elsweyr there have been various threads upset at the proportion of "princesses" and fremale NPCs - IIRC, it got especially bad during Greymoor.
It's not exactly an unusual take....______________________________________________________

Why no more Star Wars movies?
It has obviously created an fear that games would follow the trend as its trendy even if loosing money.
And I say it happened, but ESO I say had always been a bit funny about stuff.

What's especially annoying about that Greymoor take was that the main quest had a pretty even amount of men and women. On top of that, each of the "princesses" were very different but people acted like it was the same because it involved female royalty.1 -

Yeah. It's maybe not typical in this game now, but it definitely was very obvious at the time.______________________________________________________

In Oblivion The very first voice you hear and the first casualty is Captain Renault, leader of the Emperors Protection detail and member of the Blades
Gotta nitpick here, the first voice you actually hear in Oblivion after you've made your character is Valen Dreth taunting the ever loving *** out of you based on your own race and gender.
But no one cares about Valen Dreth so it might as well be Renault.2 -

✭Bots have always been a problem with ESO, but those first few months... wow - goldsellers were far worse.
It was constant spam in zones. The only time I ever saw a GM online was when they popped in to squash bots. The spam I'd get would even be through in-game mails and whispers and I admit on a few occasions I replied back not so nice things.

✭✭✭✭I remember the dragon leap bug from 2015. In Black Water Blade, I liked to Leap the enemies, Lock em down, then spin to win. Sometimes I ended up falling through the ground instead. I've several screenshots of the bits of Cyrodiil floating above my falling dragonknight.Fan of playing magblade since 2015. (PC NA)
Might be joking in comments.
