    The reason the storm cloak solider interrupts his own last rights is because she calls them the 8 divines, rather than the nine, that's why he uses the words "for the love of talos let's get on with this" it was one last act of rebellion against the white-gold concordant and thus the empire that is executing him 😅

      If it's set in high rock I don't doubt it, and I'm sure there will still be plenty of tribes spread throughout the area. Hopefully high rock is as massive as it should be without lacking content given the time they've been developing it, as long as it's been since the last game it better be a massive upgrade though I get the feeling it won't be with starfield and how the games have slowly regressed

Awesome work as always.

    yknow, i wonder what happens to races that follow other traditions. like if a dunmer were to be raised by nords and their culture, would they go to atherius/sovengard? or would they remain a spirit in tamriel? or a khajiit who followed bosmer customs? with the daedra its relatively easy to explain that they go to that specific plane of oblivion or smth (like hircines hunting fields or apocrypha) and easy to explain the dragonborn (i at least believe akatosh just claims the soul) but with races following other religions and traditions from either converting or being raised in it its *very* interesting to me

    • @Jiub_SN
      @Jiub_SN Před 4 měsíci

      It's a god thing, not a racial thing. Like anyone can end up in a Daedra realm if they sign a deal with them. There's definitely a godly hierarchy determining where an individual ends up after death, with daedra taking the first spot

      Like the nords are racists, but so is everyone in Tamriel. The high elves are on another level, they genuinely believe only the bosmer are close to them but still inferior, everyone else are treated as babies they feel the need to control and they aren't afraid to genocide them

    Watchin the section on the Nords it came to me what if the Dragonborn mantles Talos and finishes the dragon crisis and after that reconquers all of Tamriel and we start as a random soldier in his Army who is there durin his conquest of the summerset isles or at the very least we assist the Dragonborn in the final story mission to do what I've said above that would be amazin to put it lightly

    • @curtispower3619
      @curtispower3619 Před rokem +2

      It would never happen in a game, the player character must always end up in a state where they are either not in a position to be explained further in later games, or they are unrecognizable in future games. For example, the player character of morrowind went to Akavir, and thus will no longer have to be explained. The player character of Oblivion became the current iteration of Sheogorath, thus they can no longer be recognized or elaborated upon.

    What if sovnegarde was a type of prison for those, with either good or bad intentions, killed a lot or died doing violent things which might actually be frowned upon, so it's an eternal place where these people do what they want to do. Some of them wouldn't care if it's a prison or not that is dressed up as a glorious afterlife, and so it for whatever reason filters out different types of nords in the after life.

  • @isaac_aren
    @isaac_aren Před 10 měsíci

    I would argue it is much more common for nords to cremate their dead, at least in ancient times. Nordic tombs are filled with burial urns, almost always containing money, and sometimes jewellary. Only the greatest people and their servants/warriors were intered in the tombs

    • @Jiub_SN
      @Jiub_SN Před 4 měsíci

      It's likely ancient nord used those as gifts of some sort rather than ash burial, I doubt ones saw it as a good thing to not be interred as a warrior within the tombs we see, and given how many draugr are around it would be odd if it wasn't most of the Nord population. If you think there should be more, they died in battle and couldn't be interred for some reason

    Incorrect. Morality is taken into account by Shor. The greatest warriors In Sovngarde still need to have Nordic standards of honor. Honor is absolutely taken into account. Otherwise you'd be seeing thousands of random different Bandits everywhere.
