Conflicting Story lines; what will be considered canon?

Post » Thu Dec 08, 2011 11:10 am

I did pay attention to what you were saying, to which you said explicitly that they didn't exist until the inbetween time of Skyrim and Oblivion, which is wrong. You then say they were but a minor foot note, which again is wrong lore wise. Before the new lore the Thalmor had heavy ties with important and influential families in both Summerset and Valenwood.

I simply brought up a point about how logically an invasion of Skyrim by the Dominion would not be feasible without further conflict with the free states of man. You asked why they couldn't use their navy to avoid having to go into conflict with the Empire via land war, I gave a logical reason why they couldn't in response. If they want to force an invasion, they will like you said, but that wasn't the discussion.



I repeat:
:banghead:
For someone who is hanging by the every utterance of Michael Kirkbride, your method of thought is entirely too linear, literal, and litigious.


Yes, that was the discussion, and if you had payed attention, you would have seen me saying that multiple times, in progressively more direct means when you obviously weren't taking the hint.

I repeat
You obviously know nothing about me nor my ideas if you think I hang on every utterance of MK.


Resulting to personal jabs because I disagree with you is very unbecoming. You asked a question, I made a reply, you don't like it, so be it. So unless you wish to have a polite discussion, farewell.

I didn't mean to start a flamewar.

How about you two settle it in PMs rather than this thread?

I don't recall flaming anyone but if you feel my comments distract from the topic I'll happily remove them.

An appeal to the authority authors?

A: The Thalmor are unlikely to invade Skyrim directly assuming we believe http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:The_Great_War ended with giant losses for the Thalmor, that the Elves have lower birthrates than their mennish counterparts, and that a naval invasion is unlikely.
B: So?! How do you know the Thalmor can't invade Skyrim? The authors can write in a plot device that makes the Thalmor capable of invading Skyrim with ease!

It combines cartesian doubt and a red-herring.
