This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
Let's assume this is correct about surface plants needing the raw Magicka from the sun to live.
Blackreach is full of plants, many of which are edible, and receives no sunlight. Humanoids could just start farming the plants from Blackreach along with fungi. That should be enough to sustain a large enough population for Harkon and his court to feed on in their vampire paradise.
I've heard this one before...
The writers had to justify calling it Skyrim
I want to play a game one day where it has a character AI good enough to be able to point out something like that and have it affect the flow of that character's story.
"Oh hum.. you... make a good point. Ok, pivoting: let's block out the sun but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays!"
DnD
Is it the light or the UV rays that kill them, because if it's just the UV rays, we have technology that can block them now.
It's neither, It's the gaze of the god auriel.
We stopped hearing credible stories of vampires around the same time we invented sunscreen.
Coincidence?
the ozone layer?
Nah, that's got a massive hole in it.
If you can prove skyrim's plants and animals need sun to survive then his plan is stupid. Otherwise, its magic and theres no sound logic to anything so it wasnt worth mentioning in a fantasy setting.
The falmore adapted to live without sun, humans would do the same.
Also magic might be able to produce UV rays to allow mages and farmers to still grow crops.
Weren’t there plants that grew in caves?
Yeah, there were, but you could still argue that the cave plants still require a small amount of sun similar to real world moss, and if not it was probably a fungus or bacteria that can survive with no light.
This is what i assume the falmer would be mainly eating since they live in said enviorments. Meaning humans could potentially adapt to eat the same diet. Not even needing to use magic to farm as previously stated.
Yeah, I always found his plan stupid
