    No one said the prison slop job was a full-time job.
    If you can work elsewhere and just show up like three times a day to serve slop to the inmates, then the bread and mead is just a nice bonus.
    An extra half loaf of bread and a drink each day just for spending a few minutes playing lunch lady sounds pretty neat.

    The homeless actually had a use, you couldn't walk into someone's house without leaving with a quest or some really strange interaction
    The castles all had something cool going on, be it a pirate cove under one or a completely disturbing torture room

    27:37 What's the difference between what the count does verses what you do as a thief? Both of you take from others at their own expense and impose your own will and judgement upon other people. Finding this quest in the first place pretty much puts you in a position where you're not able to judge. Also, drinking blood doesn't make you a stronger vampire in Elder Scrolls, it's the other way around. Not drinking blood and starving yourself increases the amount of power you gain through vampirism. The count's wife is so thoroughly infested by the disease that instead of granting power, it hinders her. She suffers from such advanced vampirism, that the disease is killing her. It's like working out, the more you work out a muscle, the stronger it gets.

    Actually as far as I remember the longer the vampire doesnt feed the more powers they get which is kind of weird but I guess they had to add some upsides and downsides to feeding or not feeding. However they cant go not feeding forever or they will die. I guess it's a very delicate calculation. So if the Pale Lady drank Theranis' blood then she should be weaker as she is

    The Count's wife's coma doesn't really make sense in the quest to cure vampirism. There's quite a few vampires that don't have access to fresh blood for years, and have not fallen into such a coma. Azura's worshippers sealed themselves in a cave after they got infected, as well as Hindaril sealed within redwater slough, and the grand champion's father locked inside crowhaven.
    Even in undead vampiric stupors, women can have hysterical, lengthy fainting fits.

    Ah the introduction of Plot MacGuffin "Elder Scrolls" in the series.
    I kind of preferred earlier games where "The Elder Scrolls" seemed to just be a phrase in setting equivalent to saying "Your name will go down in history". It's not like there was literally a magic book called "history" in which all events forever are recorded by magical means.
    Something about the Scrolls being actual magical items in the games just... I dunno. I feel like it diminishes things really. Prophecy is a lazy writer's greatest friend in a way. You can take your plot outline, write it as a poem or something, and then include it in story to explain why everything happens. Prophecy is something the series has also very heavily relied on in Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim.
    But what's interesting to me, is the premise of the games, and its mechanical design, is kind of at odds with Prophecized Chosen One Narratives. They're in a setting where everyone can get better at anything just by practice. They're in a setting where every Guild/Plot line kind of refuses to acknowledge you've done anything else before you tried out whatever was previous in the specific questline you're on. It's a world that's really built for not having prophecy. Or MacGuffins that tell everyone everything that ever could or would happen.
    I kind of hope the next game goes away from a Prophecy Chosen One story.
