Cliches to avoid

Post by RaJevir »

I bring this up since I've noticed that we have a bit of a problem with cliched quest ideas. Here are, in my opinion, the most common cliches we fall into.

1. Evil planning to take over the world:
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! It's one of the most common cliches out there. Also, it conflicts with the theme of Tamriel.

2. Secret conspiricies:
When in question, consider if there's a way the said conflict could occur without some conspiricy. If so, KEEP IT OUT. Particularily, keep out anything involving evil conspiricies. These simply don't fit into Tamriel. Still, this has a bit of potential if done right, particularily with all things involving daedra. Just keep it to logical things like assassinations though.
