Mark Nelson, Lead Designer of The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal:
*On Sotha Sil being alive (11/10/03)*
I feel like I should reply to this thread, as I wrote that part of Tribunal, but I'm not sure where to start.
I designed the end scene to promote some discussion, but I didn't expect it to (a) last this long, or (b ) head in such odd directions.
There are a few things that are certainly open for interpretation in the Clockwork City. Why is the second Imperfect not active? Why is Sotha Sil rigged into machinery? Why is he missing limbs? What are the Fabricants? This is all intentionally vague. I've not yet read an explanation that has hit on exactly what it is I had in mind. I'm okay with that.
Here's what I'll say about Sotha Sil, his life, and his death:
1. Sotha Sil was very aware that the end was coming for the Tribunal.
2. He had a fascination with both machinery and magic.
3. The Fabricants were an early attempt of his at a synthesis between the machine and the organic. Dwemer constructs may have been an inspiration.
4. The Imperfects were an attempt at a different project; it failed. Hence, "Imperfect."
5. Sotha Sil is dead. Almalexia killed him.
6. If I really, really needed to, I could devise a story loophole to bring him back. Such is the way of fantasy worlds.
7. I do not forsee this ever, ever happening, because it is both cheesy and unnecessary.
8. I reserve the right to be cheesy, should it become necessary. wink.gif
Interesting video 👍. Sotha Sil and the Clockwork city are one of my favourite parts of TES lore. It makes the world feel less like generic fantasy. I really liked it's current situation was explained in TES Legends. Its a pity the game lost its support from Bethesda.
It's unclear whether the Dwemer are alive or not. They may have built a clockwork city of their own. Or teleported into an Oblivion realm.
@@user-xg6zz8qs3q I think they just simply erased themselves got to greedy and poof
The Ending of Legends: Clockwork City is really similar to the one of the Sotha Sil Expanded Mod for Morrowind. Just a different timeline and you don't die for choosing to upload Gestalt. Basically, Gestalt talks to you and lets you choose whether to upload him, saving the city and making him return as Sotha Sil (he's basically Sotha Sil's uploaded conscience as he tells you near that point) or sever his link to the city and letting the city die.
Steampunk - High Fantasy is often an intriguing and underutilized concept as the combination of magic and early-industrial technologies can lead to a vast combination of possibilities.
If the Dwemer still existed in some significant capacity, a large percentage of them would have probably migrated to live in the city.
I’m liking how much more confident you are with your delivery in this video, imo it’s better than when you sort of stumble around on the lines
Always wanted to know more about this glad you made a video about it
So the question remains: what was the higher purpose of making Clockwork City in the first place? Seht mentioned something about destroying the daedra. What it has to do with the city?
basically he was like nirn is pretty fucked i can do it better
Why is there no Skyrim mod for this? The clockwork city was one of my favorite places in ESO, I'd love to visit it again in Skyrim.
There's a mod for morrowind called sotha sil expanded, that well... Expands the sotha sil part of the tribunal questline to include a LOT more puzzles and also clockwork city itself. For Skyrim there's wheels of lull that's considered to be a sequel to sotha sil expanded, but not as big and instead of the clockwork city you can only go to an outpost that's much smaller but still has the same aesthetic and everything. Both mods look nothing like clockwork city in ESO, but i REALLY like the absolute chaotic mess that is sotha sil expanded.
@@elsepio8944 can I get wheels of lull on Xbox?
@@theknave1915 a quick google search says you can get it for xbox one, i don't know how mods work on consoles since i play skyrim on pc
@@elsepio8944 sweet. I may check it out... assuming that it doesn't break half my list.
There is actually the Wheels of Lull 🤔
I've seen videos about the clockwork city but none of them explained it quite like you did. I finally somewhat understand it now.
I love Sotha Sil , is my favorite god
the mechanical heart is honestly a really cool concept
That reminds me of something: what actually happened to the different Orders dedicated (or related) to the Tribunal, after the Tribunal disappeared?
I couldn't find anything on it.
I love your videos 👍
Nice.
can always count on Imperial Knowledge for an interesting, be it short or lenghty, ES story
Can you please do a story walk-through, tell of all the DLC for elder scrolls online
Can you cover the rest of the TES: Legends?
I covered the main Questline, Dark Brotherhood and now Clockwork City. I plan to do Isle of Madness at some point in the future
@@ImperialKnowledge
I've seen the Main Questline and Clockwork City. I didn't know you covered the Dark Brotherhood. I'll go watch it now.
I'm super early but nice vid
Are you sure about that? Are you a timelord? jk cheers!
I hope Sotha Sil would return due to his mechanical heart
i always thought it would fall into ruin after his death, possibly after the eruption of red mountain.
Did you make a video about the wild hunt
I'm still curious about the disappearance of Falinesti.
👏👏👏👏👍
bugs bunny has achieved Chim
*Yagrum Bagarn:* _Yo, finally a place of great intellectual property and mechanics marve... aw man!_
wheels of lul
lol
If you see my message can you make a video about witches and their covens
I made a video about hagravens… but dont remember doing one about witches specifically. Ill look into it and see if it has enough substance for a full vid
@@ImperialKnowledge you can do a video about the wild hunt, the ra gada, the martial arts of the khajit

Kinda sucks that Elder Scrolls Legends stole a perfect ES6 story for a stupid phone game. I'm not playing that trash.
