Ph.D. in Sorcery#2551 | Nah you got it right | 10:12:48 |
Ph.D. in Sorcery#2551 | Unpopular | 10:12:51 |
Ph.D. in Sorcery#2551 | * He's secretive and unpopular | 10:12:58 |
mothpot#7756 | wrong about the ineffective part though | 10:13:04 |
oOw | I guess Uriel of Simulacrum made him unpopular | 10:13:16 |
Ph.D. in Sorcery#2551 | Tbh the entire plot of TES2 paints him as ineffective | 10:13:30 |
Ph.D. in Sorcery#2551 | It wouldn't happen if he just encrypted his mail like he does in TES3 | 10:13:44 |
Ph.D. in Sorcery#2551 | The whole thing happens because a letter he sent got stolen | 10:14:05 |
Ph.D. in Sorcery#2551 | It's super contrived | 10:14:10 |
oOw | Yeah if it weren’t for that letter Daggerfall would’ve been a little bit nicer politically | 10:14:22 |
Ph.D. in Sorcery#2551 | Almost willing to say they ignored it when writing that line of dialogue | 10:14:30 |
mothpot#7756 | it's also that the empire is in a gradual decline and he's the figurehead for all of it | 10:14:35 |
Ph.D. in Sorcery#2551 | https://cslist.uesp.net/index.php?game=mw&ordid=340302&rectype=INFO Here's what Sjoring says, "never a strong Emperor", "Ocato makes the real decisions" | 10:15:45 |
oOw | Looks like Empire is going to have a succession crisis | 10:16:39 |
oOw | With Uriel being reported sick and dying | 10:17:03 |
mothpot#7756 | there are mentions of political unrest as politicians vie for a future seat on the throne as he leaves executive decisions to the council | 10:17:10 |

Gnomey#8642 | Gotta give him props for at least learning his lesson. :-P | 10:17:32 |
Gnomey#8642 | I think the letter was supposed to have been written a while ago, right? | 10:17:52 |
Gnomey#8642 | I feel like Uriel in general went through a lot of character development, in and out of universe. | 10:18:16 |
mothpot#7756 | i just don't feel like he is a particularly defined character to begin with | 10:18:42 |
mothpot#7756 | seems to exist to put the protagonist in a place | 10:18:55 |
oOw | Pretty much | 10:19:03 |
mothpot#7756 | who he is kind of changes based on that | 10:19:08 |
mothpot#7756 | even in appearance | 10:19:25 |
oOw | Alot of people like Uriel in the first place is because of Patrick Stewart | 10:19:42 |
oOw | Uriel hair growth magic | 10:19:56 |
Gnomey#8642 | Patrick Stewart is great, but Daggerfall Uriel is best Uriel. | 10:20:32 |
mothpot#7756 | very true | 10:20:48 |
oOw | We still don’t know the name of the actor and he goes out like a king | 10:21:02 |
