We really didn't need another thread... :[.
Yeah. Is there anything more to be said that hasn't already been said? Can't we just leave TES to its individual threads and leave the cross game conflict to die? Folks on b12 apparently can't keep the vitriol down when it comes to th'elder scrolls games being considered in bulk, and there's no reason to give Toady more work if we don't have to :-\

What I can hardly understand here, is that people tend to avoid arguments like the plague. We have to accept that we are not robots, or a unified hive, to see everybody agreeing in everything. Why don't we welcome this as an opportunity to exchange ideas, and enrich our knowledge about others? We could find certain aspects of the discussion, what is harder to reach in a "fluffy" environment.

Of course that doesn't mean Argumentum Ad Hominem or the like.

Mostly cause quite a few arguments here have been argued to the point that everyone is just repeating themselves over and over and all that can be said has already been said. It gets really tiring, specially when you factor in that said arguments also occur endlessly outside of Bay12. And then there's some (me included) who just want to enjoy the games and prefer to discuss their good points instead of their failings. Also arguments are just kinda unpleasant to see happen, specially on the internet.

Could be, but I don't think that "There is nothing new under the sun" is true. A lot of people said in history that we know everything, what is knowable, and we discovered everything what is out there, they were all wrong.

Also the last thread brough me a little joy, since I never knew the existence of the Methaphysics.
