Genuinely, the guy is complaining that the game, that we know practically nothing about, will probably give you a questline to liberate slaves.
At the most basic level (I.E. role-playing as an evil character) I sort of agree. But, like, they’re not going to force you to do the whole quest. Ignoring the prompt is the evil option. If you ignore the questline, the slaves remain slaves.
The problem isn’t wokeness. I doubt anyone would object to the concept of role-playing as an evil character. Hell, it can even be beneficial to role-play as an evil character, as it can provide insight into what motivates evil in the real world. Bethesda isn’t trying to take away evil options because they have a woke agenda. Bethesda isn’t going to give us evil options because Todd Howard is an idiot who believes having broad gameplay is the same as having deep gameplay.
antintellectual fuckwits like this do not even respect or understand the art they tout as the superior old fashion. there is no serious analysis of morrowind that supports a ‘non-opinion’ or endorsement of slavery. it was just an accident that they included the option in the game to free every existing slave? that there’s quests for an abolitionist faction, and abolitionist options in many quests? where are the commiserate pro-slavery options, dipshit?
Ignoring all the slavery is clearly the evil option. This chud yearns to be part of the trade himself.
all style no substance, the observation is that old quest direction was less upfront–true enough, but the notion that shears off the moral dimension of all the quests and writing is almost specious in its misunderstanding of the text.
