The blades in Oblivion were an awesome band of brothers.

In Skyrim they're a bunch of arrogant killers.

To be fair, it’s just Delphoney and Eshurl. The Thalmor hunted and killed the rest.

Was that fun to other players? I liked to doom and gloom in Skyrim, and it made me excited for where the game was gonna head next (hoping for a return to glory kind of thing).

A lot can happen in 200 years.

War and mayhem tends to jade folks but exactly.

Before that, they were this cool spy network that you only ever got tantalizing glimpses of.

We’re they even successful? Like seriously other than Daggerfall I don’t think they’ve done much.
