I So Often Think About The Utter Lack Of Innovation In Tamriel And Then I Remember. Every Game Shit Happens

i so often think about the utter lack of innovation in tamriel and then i remember. every game Shit Happens and it's so goddamn world ending and terrifying (um hello? ancient dragon god is coming to eat the world?) that like yeah after surviving that i'd just be happy with my wagons and horses and crops and 50yrs of life expectancy.

i saw a post the other day that was like “you’re telling me it’s been 200 years since oblivion and nobody has invented anything new? in real life we went from horses to cars in 200 years!” and to be totally fair to that person they were 100% correct and that is an oversight but to be fair to the people of nirn i think if actual hell opened up and blew up like half of the major cities on earth that would probably stall innovation here too. like just to give them some credit they did experience a world-ending catastrophe and i don’t know how many of us could see the sky crack open and flood out a bunch of actual satans and then have like. joe biden turn into a dragon and fight satan and then still be like, “so anyway, automobiles.”

i just listened to the entire jekyll & hyde 1995 musical on spotify and like...i'm obsessed. one of the best things i've ever listened to?? like EVERY SONG? THE CONFRONTATION?? the lyric writing is insane, the score, the SAME dude singing jekyll and hyde but sounding completely different...i'm mindblown

i own the book and have planned to read since forever (esp after listening to this omg) and was wondering if people know of any good movie/show adaptations (musical or otherwise) of jekyll & hyde? and GOD DID THEY EVER RECORD THE CAST ON STAGE??? I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW COOL THIS IS ON STAGE
