            wild, it's clearly derivative of the Morrowind theme (so much so it has to be intentional) and that one's definitely not got orgasm vibes

            fun thing about sex pests is they tend to out themselves by what they associate sex with

                Who knows in the early 2000s maybe he got to spend some time with todd helping with 'creative direction'.

                Wasn't a lot of the weird Morrowind lore written by Michael Kirkbride? He seems very, uhhh, libertarian.

                  He was that weird 90s libertarian socialist hippie Magick type. His wife (a major member of the Elder Scrolls fandom and pretty left wing.) basically says he spent 20 years on various drugs, first recreationally and then medically, and when he came off them in 2010 or so he went into a spiral and said some pretty yikes things he's since publically disavowed.

                  So, not perfect, but he's trying to be better and I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

                    Remember that it mentions her age at various points, which really, uh, contextualizes things. She's a teen when the Khajiit scene happens, which is seared into my brain because I didn't know cats were spiny in that fashion until I read that and looked it up.

        Oh god fucking dammit

        The OSTs from Oblivion and Guild Wars 1 are some of my favourite ambient fantasy music, I loved his music

        Why do people always have to end up being some kind of weird sex pest/transphobe/racist/etc

      Same, metal is a fuckin' minefield of reaction. I just want to listen to songs with 10 minute guitar solos about wizards fighting dragons sadness

      I just gave up on metal altogether after this happened one too many times. I don't know that band or the controversy you're referencing, but I am not surprised a band called "Gloryhammer" is full of racists.

        they're like a comedic band, kinda like alestorm if you've heard of them
        instead of alestorm's pirate theme, their songs were fantasy based, moving to sci-fi in their later albums
