which is even better ?

to expand on yesterday sort of :
how media in general handle topics of madness and insane characters is ... well , in general to put very lightly , poor . still , there can be some nuggets of good to find - think biggest problems come when media do not ask audience to find .

take glarthir : paranoid wood elf man , who believe 3 fellow townsfolk of skingrad mean harm , and that everyone watch . and ... in some part , glarthir is not wrong - people do watch , and talk behind back at that , and captain of guard seem to itch for some excuse to lock glarthir away . people already outcast glarthir long ago , but then just never stop , and that tank what was already poor mental health .

but game is less concern with this than really would like , and instead , only way to finish quest is for at least one person to die . either kill one of people from glarthir's list , or refuse all and glarthir will die . and that is ... well , sad really . kossai will never see this quest complete within game , just have to keep new story in mind .
but that potential thread is there , even if no one on staff then really explore . and do sort of fear that ... quests and characters like this would more likely face removal , than any kind of mindful and respectful adaptation . and think that is loss overall .

this is what find so hard about stereotypes , and especially ones about what insanity is . stereotypes can do so much damage , but then , people do not want to give enough time of day to rectify that . easier to just brush off , or to remove from setting entirely .
and just ... fuck . what is even better ? stereotypes which at least prove these people exist in this world and give threads to follow into better stories , or nothing at all ? really both hurt , just in different ways !

this is realistically one of those personal discretion answers , huh . kossai like that these characters exist , between both main game and shivering isles , because there is potential to explore and to change things . but also think fair for people to hate and wish gone , because of how hurtful some can get - and especially that audience do not often have reason to question or humanise .

random thought ...

some sort of short little game about glarthir's good day .

problem 1 : 
twine ? bitsy ? renpy ? ehh ? most familiar with twine , feel like bitsy would force down much simpler path , and renpy would force focus onto visuals ... probably not ideal for anything but simple plans , in this case . so that would make twine best choice .

problem 2 : 
how much complexity in day ? maybe choose from 1 mini quest path for each NPC glarthir originally suspect , and then ... what ? or maybe moreso 1 set path of events , but with variable outcomes ? probably that one .

problem 3 :
how much complexity in character interactions ? mini mood system for glarthir ? say if paranoia climb too high , day will forcibly end as glarthir retreat home to deal with breakdown .

will these ideas become anything ? only time will tell .

normal sheogorath activities

as from play session today where just kind of wander bliss . 

• hop between roads 
• climb same staircases repetitively
• jump up on rooves
• wait on bridge for 10 hours

various elder scrolls character thoughts

have morrowind - not done anything yet , people suggest to install openMW but kossai can not for life wrap head around this . for example , documentation say install package but not say which file this is . great help . so not sure , maybe will just skip over that and try to run through proton , whatever happen is whatever happen .
anyway . might actually make dunmer , whenever get around to that . might ... who can say for sure ? might even be kind of fun to model after dunmer character from shivering isles ... would this break lore , probably , but kossai do not care much for that if break is more fun . :P ( time to scour UESP list ... )

for oblivion ... just not sure could ever make another character , unless specifically to run some kind of silly challenge or blatantly ignore everything . thaliendir is only character can even think to play in oblivion , any other attempts might just end up copy . definitely some things which still never done - fighters guild , thieves guild , and dark brotherhood especially - but also kind of can just watch lover legion play those .

then skyrim . enough time pass that maybe could move on from ellona by this point , but might be just as fun to try and continue with ellona and give further story . on other hand though , new aspects might fit other characters better , and maybe might be nice to redo things on better computer . ( previously play skyrim with , at best of times , 20 frames per second . lag force kossai to god mode through sovngarde , on easiest difficulty . )
but then , again : would this just become ellona again ? probably so ! 

morrowind character followup

after scour list of UESP , one choice really interest : kiliban nyrandil .
know nothing about story of morrowind so far , and not really overall lore buff , but try to consider several things here .

morrowind is only about 6 years before oblivion . but , haskill suggest time in shivering isles flow differently , even if there is some kind of link between time there and time on nirn - see greymarch cycle . 
meanwhile , many residents of shivering isles have unknown histories . kiliban in specific is caretaker of xedilian - dungeon beyond fringe walls which lure intruders , either to kill or to break minds . but ever since creation of gatekeeper some several years ago , which prevent entry into walls , xedilian fall out of use and leave kiliban with nothing to do .

would doubt that portal to shivering isles is bound to only niben bay in cyrodiil , this just happen to be convenient place during specifically 3e 433 . maybe theoretically one could be anywhere , down apparently new paths , down wrong paths .
and what if someone already incline towards sheogorath , for one reason or another ? surely sheogorath could reach out more directly , more personally . still no violation of contract , still just invitation , but maybe ... just maybe .
so that , and with different flow of time ... maybe indeed , this could be true in at least one set of circumstances .

struggle to otherwise think of character concept to use in morrowind , if honest . and that ... could mean nothing . ( rarely nothing . :P )
