I finally got to draw digitally and this is the first thing that came to my mind đź’€
A vampire, a mage, an immortal paladin, and a Falmer child walk into a tavern…

From my fic “Halfway to the Sky”
One thing that bothers me about the Elder Scrolls community on Tumblr is their tendency to want to get rid of all the evil lore and characters in the game.
There’s plenty of evil lore like Aylied and Dunmer slavery, the creation of vampires, Pelinal’s genocide, racism against refugees, etc. Plus characters like Arondil, Naris, and Harkon.
The immediate response of a lot of TES fans on Tumblr is that this lore is bad and should be retconned or that the developers are bad for including it.
But if you remove all traces of evil and cruelty from the games, then who is left for a good character to kill and hate? The game would become a psychopath simulator where the only people left to kill are all innocent.
We need evil characters so that wet have people who are satisfying to fight and kill. Without evil characters, good characters would be destined to fight wolves and crabs forever.
We need more evil characters- not less! The more evil characters there are in the game = the more moral the player can be and the more justified our kills are.
