They race-swapped Thoronir. I am completely DONE.

[Doctor Gitgud]

I knew something was "off" from the second I walked in to the copious coinpurse and saw "Dark Elf" Thoronir:

I had remembered the guy as a blonde wood (or maybe high) elf, but maybe I was wrong. After all, memories get fuzzy and I hadn't played Oblivion in 10-15 years. But it just kept eating at me during the Unfriendly Competition quest, so I had to look it up. And yep, they did it. The wokesters really did it. They race-swapped Thoronir. He used to look exactly as I remembered:

I am beyond sick of this DEI political nonsense being injected into my games. You want proof that this game is woke? Here it is. And it isn't as if dark elves were even underrepresented in the original Oblivion. There were tons of them! This race-swap is for the sole purpose of pushing the agenda that dark elves are somehow superior to the light-skinned elves, and that the latter deserve to be "replaced" even if it isn't accurate to the original game.

Glad I'm playing this on gamepass because I would have been past the window to refund. Was thinking about adding it on steam for better mod support but I won't give them a dime until they fix Thoronir and apologize.

Edit: Pictures updated. Thanks to alucard(OpinionsMine) for posting a much better pic of True Thoronir!

Um... Either your eyes need checked or your screen is tinted blue, cause there is no Dark Elf in either of those pictures. Dark Elves are a kinda bluish color... I'm going to assume you're trolling because he's still a Wood Elf. They did redo his voice though.

Also don´t you think Oblivion has enough white people in the first place? Most gamers are sick with seeing white men everywhere.

Definitely not true, lol.

I would have liked a link to that global gamer poll. For Science.

That's not a dark elf, you can tell by the lack of Dark Elf facial features all the Dark Elves in the game have.

In the time it took to write this post you could have fixed the horrible colour calibration on your monitor and not made a fool of yourself as well.

[Cryptic]

He honestly looks more fitting now. Given the circumstances...

I remember the Dev's for BG3 were PISSED that the data showed most players played as a normal white male warrior, lol.

I love these threads where the premise is just provably false.

[mookymook]

yet another false flag

Never assume malice when something can be reasonably explained by stupidity.

Given that white male gamers hurt diversity the most in games

Lol, wrong.

I mostly don't think trolling like this is malice. Just stupid trolling to TRY and be funny.
