    Can't say how many times once rewatched your videos over the years. It's so nice to have a channel that answers every question I've basically had over a game I've sunken 3k+ hours into. My 4 year old son even sits and watches with me, and for the first time today, asked to play a little! I fired up the computer and created a great memory. Without your channel but I don't think he ever would've asked.
    I know you may not be making content as much as you used to, but I wanted to come by and say thank you, for all the effort over the years and for the pure bit of joy I got to have today. Much love.

      Wait, where does it say that? I couldn't find it in the Dossier. It would make sense, but according to my calculations, he could be as young as 43. He studied under the Greybeards for ten years (according to his dialogue), then joined the legion to fight in the Great War in probably 173 when reinforcements from Skyrim bolstered the Imperial City. That's 38 years. If he was called by the Greybeards between the ages of 5 and 13, that gives his current age as anywhere from 43-51.

      @@suryanshsoni8809 Yes. In Oblivion, many Nords reference wanting to go to Sovngarde, but not being able to because they're just a steward or another profession that wouldn't normally allow them to die valiantly in combat. Only Nords who are felled in combat go to Sovngarde; it's why even High King Torygg was sent to Sovngarde as he died in mutual combat despite not being a particularly skilled fighter. I don't think it's ever really explicitly stated as to where their souls go to if not to Sovngarde or what would happen if a Nord who was a valiant warrior were assassinated instead of being defeated in direct combat.
      Surely they know about the kalpas in the afterlife so that's probably what he was referencing.

    Hey Nate, here's three tiny details I learned very recently.
    First off, if you progress far enough through the civil war questline on the Imperial side, if you heal Ulfric when you're supposed to kill him, he'll die anyway. This could be a bug, or just a failsafe, either way it's pretty funny to watch happen.
    Second up, also to do with healing, when you first enter Jorrvaskr, you'll always see the fight between Nada and Athir. Well if you heal on of them during the fight, they'll turn hostile, but none of the other companions do either. And, you don't get a bounty for it either.
    Finally, if you're unlucky when Vilkas tests you when you join the Companions and Farkas is there, the moment Vilkas turns hostile, Farkas will too. When this happened, I had Teldryn Sero with me, who repeatedly attacked Vilkas by Dragonsreach while I was talking to Armen about his sword.
    That's all I've got. If you ever decide to do another 10 tiny details for Skyrim, I hope you use these.

    I always assumed that there was going to be some kind of Ragnarok type event in the world of Elder Scrolls and that Sovengarde was supposed to be their version of Valhalla. It makes sense to me considering how much of Skyrim is based off of Norse mythology and Scandinavia in general. And this "Final battle" bit of removed dialogue kind of reinforces my theory.

    • @deadlordification
      @deadlordification Před 2 lety +11

      As a matter of fact, Khajit lore states that there IS in fact a Ragnarok type event coming on and where the cat equivalent of Kyne gathers all of the souls of the dead at the end of times for some sort of cat-based ragnarok
      "Khenarthi carries the souls of dead Khajiit to Azurah for judgment, and is also her messenger. At the end of time, it is her clarion call that will summon the eternal united spirit of all Khajiit to defend creation."
      It's chronologically the first religion, so its the most accurate- if cat based
      Whats more likely that is that shes doing that not just for the nords, but for the khajit as well. And the Shor/Lorkhan is the guy housing/chilling with the nord souls in the meanwhile

      Check out Fudgemuppet's channel for deep dives into all this, a lot of this lore is actually pretty well expanded upon in Skyrim, ESO, and in-game texts going as far back as Morrowind.

    I feel like the “follow Shor into the final battle” is a Viking reference. Valhalla is where fallen warriors go when they die so they can be Odin’s army at Ragnarok. I don’t know how that fits into Skyrim lore, but it lines up with a lot of the other Viking references you find in Skyrim.

    • @MasterDoctorBenji
      @MasterDoctorBenji Před 2 lety +6

      It does line up, at the end of the kelper cycle as the world rests the start of the new begins. They blend together. At the start of every cycle (as far as we know), the elven gods and the old elner fey war with the betrayer and his wandering elner fey. This is Akatosh/Aur-riel versus Shor/Lorkhan. The elves always win and kill Shor.
      So the Nords of this cycle will likely replace the wandering elner fey at the start of the next cycle and fight the thalmor. Maybe even the aldmeri dominion.
      There is even evidence Nords came from a previous cycle. We know the Red Guards did. The Nords may have been the creatures that destroyed the dregs with the help of Mehrunes Dagon, which happened in the dawn era. So the end of the last cycle.

      It would take him so long to play through Oblivion to obtain the experience and knowledge needed in order to make the type of content that would do it justice. I think he probably doesnt want to half ass anything. He seems to have alot of knowledge on Skyrim. Im sure much of it is due to him reading the reddit boards and seeing other videos possibly, but we can tell he has put in quite alot of game time into Skyrim over the years and he is passionate about the game and its lore. Its easier to make videos about a subject youre passionate about than it is to make yourself passionate about a video you want to put out. Im assuming he wants top notch content coming from his channel and he may feel that he would not do the game, or his fans, any justice by creating them. But this is just mere speculation.

  • @rudamachoo
    @rudamachoo Před rokem +5

    a little "tiny" detail i haven't yet seen (unless i somehow skipped it) is the following:
    - at the beginning, when you're asked to go to Bleak Falls Barrow, if instead one goes to Whiterun (we know that Farengar gives us the quest to retrieve the dragon stone later used by Delphine to check out the dragon burials and somehow always ended up with the "oh, this stone?" response 'cos we already had it) but, if you go to Whiterun in order to, say, pick up a couple useful spells before entering the dungeon, Delphine can be seen there, talking to Farengar who refers to her as his "associate". Delphine is using her leather gear and (unlike when going with the Dragonborn to check out the tombs) she's even using a hood and participates in the dialogue. If you ask in the Sleeping Giant Inn for her (I stopped there omw to BFB to sell a few things), the innkeeper will respond with something along the lines of "she's out, she's the owner, she doesn't need to explain herself" or something like that.
    It was quite surprising for me, I guess because it was my 1st time on legendary difficulty and thus I wanted to be better prepared for the bandits and draugr, to find her there and even more so, to see she actually interacts with you, Farengar and of course, tying up the pieces (she later tells you that she got the locations from the tablet, but I had never before seen the two characters and the dragonborn interact like that). So, despite the thousands of hours put into it, I had never seen that! This game is so old by now and like any good Beatles album, it still finds way to surprise you.
    Thought I'd share it in case I (or you, or anyone) had missed it. Thanks =)

It kept bouncing off like something was in the way and then it hit us: Sam is just a disguise. Sanguine has horns. The bucket was probably reacting to the horns on the character model, which were hidden from us. Maybe. Either way, it was a fun little giggle moment for us.

    I think that the final battle is the series equivalent of Ragnarok. Shor sounds almost like Odin in that he rewards honorable deaths by allowing them into Valhalla.

      Having just looked the subject up, I have to agree. There's a toppled wall, and the dragons themselves were (as far as I understand) the Britons and the Saxons, in which one army nearly wiped out the other but was eventually driven back and out, much as both the Nords and the Falmer were probably hoping of each other and fits nicely with the theme of the valley itself being a refuge.

The reason that Merlin was brought to the king in the first place was because the king was told that the tower would continue to collapse until the mortar was mixed with the blood from a child whose parent was a demon. Merlin was supposedly the child of a demon who seduced a human woman. So, all of that to say that I believe that the tower in the middle of the lake represents the tower that the king was building that kept collapsing.
