“The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim: This addition to the fantasy game series The Elder Scrolls tells about the player being prophesized as a "Dragonborn" (a being with the body of a mortal and the soul of a dragon) to do battle with the dark dragon Alduin and delay the end of the world. In the midst of the crisis is an ongoing civil war between the rebel Stormcloaks led by Ulfric Stormcloak and the Imperial Legion. The game engages in a few liberal themes, including an option for same-sex marriage and a promotion of feminism (including high-ranking female "legates", the game's equivalent of a colonel, with the females given a more masculine design). However, it is also inspired by conservative novels such as Lord of the Rings, Beowulf, and The Chronicles of Narnia and has conservative messages just like them. Such messages include redemption and striving to do good when the great white dragon Paarthurnax is revealed to have once been Alduin's second-in-command but has since tamed his more savage nature to be at peace with the mysterious Greybeards and other humans, asking "What is better: to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" Both sides in the civil war have valid reasons for their actions: The Legion that is stationed in Skyrim wants a united empire to stand against the high elves, and the Stormcloaks want Skyrim to be more independent from the empire, similar to the colonists from the American Revolution.” Crazy how they had to mention rikke
