The problem with doing politics is that your hero HAS to be forgotten, a player character can NEVER rise to a place of true importance within a government.TizzytheTormentor said:Still, if they didn't greet you like that (I admit that was annoying) It would be fantastic. I am not saying we need that for the next game, I'm saying that having a plot based around politics would be more fun than killing the big bad and saving Tamriel for the 100th time. Have your choice of faction have a drastic change on the world and cities. Make yourself a respected figurehead or a ruthless tyrant who has hits placed on them. That would be fun. Also bring Spears and Crossbows back! (especially crossbows)
If they did, explaining that in lore would require that all possible join-able political groups to be destroyed making doing it kinda pointless.
