    To have it fair, there are peaceful online video-games, or Artworks, too, I believe, and I’ve been contributing and participating in one ineffably magnificent miracle… The Elder Scrolls Online… since 2016…
    I have already more than 240,000 screenshots and hundreds of video recorded for all the years, or more…
    Currently, I’m also maintaining a few add-ons at ESOUI (to dim or hide certain GUI elements only).

    Yet, indeed, usually, a single-player Artworks allow you to actually hear more, see more, notice more… to actually listen to the Universe adventured… where no fear exists to be suddenly disconnected or interrupted…


    Once this city pulsed with energy. It was dirty and dangerous, but alive and wonderful. Now it’s something else. The changes came slowly at first. Most didn’t notice, or didn’t care. They chose a comfortable life. Some didn’t.

    Order. Purpose. Direction. No more than that. It’s your lot that means to confound with this nonsense talk of freedom. Time was, the Assassins professed a far more sensible goal, that of peace.

    It’s true that our organization stretches back to the Order of the Assassins, or Hashishim, but not in the way you might imagine. The order hasn’t so much lasted as been continually revived… It’s the Idea that has lasted. The System. Or the Desire, every thinking person’s desire to give the world some decent organization.

    There are no choices, nothing but a straight line. The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask “why me?” and “what if?”. When you look back, see the branches, like a pruned Bonsai tree, or a forked lightning. If you had done something differently, it wouldn’t be you, it would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions.
