    There should be a master post of what games align with your brand of leftism. Like obviously FFVII is for the anarchists but CRPG classics like Morrowind are for the Juche Pilled.

        Nothing really.

        If anything I'd argue the meta-narrative is sorta pro-colonialism, the Dunmer are always presented as being super racist, backwards, superstitious and chauvinistically nationalistic, meanwhile the Empire is corrupt but otherwise, seems to do an alright job of administering the area, and even implementing some progressive reforms. It's almost an r/neoliberal game. But that's a kind of off the cuff read, a super-fan maybe could do a deeper dive.

        Overall I think the game was just really big into lore and world building in a really cool way, I don't think the writers were mulling over real world political allegories much.

      no ur right it's fine that the journal is an incomprehensible linear mess and that the balmora silt strider guy slowly shifts to the right until he falls off his tower and fuckin dies, the vibes are just peak

        YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT

        (I say this as an Xbox Morrowind player)

        Also the journal layout is annoying and in dire need of improving were a rerelease ever to happen, but Morrowind's not hard to play actually.
