Off Topic Discussion Megathread

[SturmChurro]

I've always favoured the Elven races in most fantasy settings, personally. The trend of proud, ancient races being wiped out for the sake of humanity to prosper is a trope I find to be rather stale.

I prefer them aesthetically usually, and I like that they have more unique lore than like generic fantasy high medieval human kingdoms... well, that or "barbarian bonk" humans. Funnily enough, I have gotten into arguments in like ESO, or steam community, with human purists - the people that only play as one. A lot of people do like that trope. I wish more games sort of fit their lore like how ES does their races, speaking on that.. What I mean is quite detailed and unique backstories, that tie directly into the world's unique setting. Granted, ES has a habit of having that lore trampled on with each further entry. You know nords actually have/had their own pantheon of Gods?

I'd actually like to see more unique racial lore and culture in this game as well, speaking of that too. I like how Ishgardian elezen, hingans, garleans, etc. are fairly unique. It would be interesting if they delved deeper into this sort of stuff, in EW, and further patches and expansions.
