Skyrim added some cool lore. Not as much as morrowind sure but the Thalmor, the dragon priests, and the vampire stuff was all awesome in my opinion.

Ive been reading a lot of Russian history lately. The Bolsheviks basically swan dived into an opressive surveillance state right from the starting gun, loooong before any relations with america. The west didnt cause Stalin’s purges and they had nothing to do with the Holodomor. People seriously suffered under communism, its genuinely atrocious.

In the original game? I played before the DLC

I had a really similar experience playing cyberpunk weirdly. Like, you think you’re being clever by doing something that logically should save you based on the established rules of the world, then the writers decide to pull the rug out right at the end and say “nope, sorry we’ve got a thematic ending in mind and you have to die no matter what”. Really left a sour taste in my mouth.

Leaf village be like “Welcome back to the village Sasuke Uchiha, man who was a member of three different terrorist organisations, attempted to assassinate every world leader at once, and was complicit in the kidnapping, experimentation, and murder of children for several years! We’re all weirdly ok with this.”

Ok its not loading properly on my phone so i accept i might have to eat my words here, but i remember the vast majority of quests in cyperpunk being “go into a building and kill some guys”… Not exactly ground breaking stuff
