      space DMT was fun, space dragon shouts were just “why”. Additionally the fact there is no lore about the ancient race that built the artifacts infuriates me, not even a “they all disappeared due to mysterious circumstances”, they were, and now they are not, now go chase the macguffin

        The game tells us what is known about the ancient race. A tiny part of mankind has just found out about them, how could they have any kind of “lore” or “knowledge” about them? More then “they build the temples and created the armillary, now they are not around anymore” is just not known. And for me that is enough, there are things that I don’t want to be explained. I don’t wanna know why and where the Dwemer vanished, I don’t want to know the origin story of the Borg and I don’t care about the fate of the ancient Starfield race. Not everything has to be explained, some things can just be lost to time.

      The player is not a chosen one on this game, it is just that in the one universe that we start in chances, possibilities and entropie align I our favour and we survive and thrive. As we are told, and shown, multiple times in most other possible universes we die. That we are not special is further shown by all the other Starborn.

      And I have no problem with the space shouts, a lot of great sci-fi has space magic (Star Wars with the Force, Star Trek with the Q for example, Star Gate with the Ori) and as we get the powers in the temples it could just be some kind of alien BioTech that enhances us.
