/lit/ - Literature

Morrowind has literally the best fictional world ever portrayed in a video game, and possibly wider. It makes sense historically, culturally and mythologically, there are various religious and social conflicts that have believable and multi-faceted causes, and the factions disagree about fundamental events in history since there isn't the authorial voice of God telling you what happened. The story is as deep as you want it to be, you can follow the basic plot of the main quest, or dive deep into Dunmer lore that will blow your mind and make you question every claim made by NPCs. The geography of the place is utterly unique and interesting, nothing like traditional high fantasy. The Dunmer themselves are genuinely alien, comprising an ancient society with a living pantheon of Gods, as brutal as they are spiritual and compelling.

I seriously doubt the worldbuilding in Morrowind will ever get topped, no game since has touched it.

>stop using classic literature and philosophy as escapism
>realise that pretending to be a traditionalist, Christian, Harold Bloom fan makes you a retard in real life

What important evelations did you uncover once you interacted with the world outside /lit/ stereotypes?

>buying some cheap edition of Locke's Essay
>oh sorry this copy is damaged, I can lower the price for that
>barely noticeable tear on the cover
>got it for like 4$

>current year
>still not achieving eudaimonia with Aristotelian virtue ethics

Why are you following inferior modern forms of ethics /lit/?

Why do people still believe philosophy can be solved as a "gordian knot"? In other words, as a single system that holds all the truth?
Obviously, there is no "true" philosophy when divested of its historical context. Whether a past philosopher was "right" or "wrong" in comparison to our current understanding is irrelevant.
