Oh, so he was just roleplaying as a snooty elf who will redeem themself, right?

One of his most absurd rants came after I said how I liked how the Elder Scrolls series typically presented the "pretty" people/culture as often the source of evil and misery (Altmer "High Elves," more often than not) and he went on a long rant about how he was sick and tired of evil being shown as pretty and good being shown as ugly and blamed "political correctness" (he's an old fuck and as far as I know didn't pick up on the woke/DEI terminology since) for that.

What a great story that would be where the pretty people are born good and the ugly people are born evil! Gygax would be proud! i-am-adolf-hitler
