i think the best practical joke any video game pulled was Skyrim opening their game making you think the rebellion was this amazing noble cause against an oppressive government (as most fantasy universes frame it), but then you pretty much immediately find out that the stormcloaks are just racists with swords and the empire isn’t really all that terrible save your standard government problems. 

yall are gonna have to stop sending me messages about how im an imperial government of tamriel apologist

the greybeards aren’t any help either. or the blades. Skyrim is just a bunch of rednecks who hate each other.

THE DARK BROTHERHOOD WAS GOOD TO EVERYONE

they killed people for money

But at least they weren’t racist about it
