#always more fascinated by depictions of nerevar that hold him as some revered yet bloody saint that the nerevarine cant live up to and isnt

[hofftrans]

personal pet peeve but I hate when nerevar is depicted as some kind of wholesome himbo because like. my guy was a war general. he literally led a full-scale war against another culture for what are pre religiously charged reasons as well as being a member of a council which included like several experts on magic, war tactics, art, philosophy, engineering etc

like idk I just struggle to find any nerevar believable that isn't a bit smart and also a bit of a horrific war criminal

#i dont mean this in a 'fuck you if you enjoy this character in this way' way like everyone is free to their own interpretations #but everytime i see him depicted as an athletic dumbass it just sort of rips me from all the immersion that world builds up #itd be like dropping a sitcom character in the middle of a dark period film about the horrors of war #morrowind #nerevar #always more fascinated by depictions of nerevar that hold him as some revered yet bloody saint that the nerevarine cant live up to and isnt #completely sure that theyd want to
