deep ones : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

No they are not.
- They are not because the Dwemer are all extinct.
- They are not because the Dwemer are not Lovecraftian.
- They are not because the Dwemer did not live under Hackdirt.
- They are not because nobody can decipher what the Dwemer wrote, so the Brethren couldn't have understood anything from a Dwemer book.
- They are not because I said so above already.
- They are not because the depth of the Deep Folk is spiritual and intellectual, while the human name for them is "dwarves", not "deep ones".
- They are not because it would be really dumb.
- They are not because I have a two-in-one torch-&-pitchfork combo.

Can I join you if I bring my own torch?
I have a pointy stick too!

It is pretty obvious that the deep ones refer to H.P. Lovecraft's story because Bethesda LOVED the author and story so much they made a game about it...well more like a sequel but whatever called Call of Cthulhu. The game is much more linear then the ES series but had a great story and GOOD bit of horror and scary moments even with it's now dated graphics. If you can also ignore some REALLY annoying bugs (seeing how the game was never officially patched) then you will be in for a treat.

Indeed, I must say that the game is pretty much the most creepy game I have ever played, and watch for the very scary details, like bodies being dragged out of view, creep stuff happening...
