You could not live with Starfield. Where did that bring you? Back to Skyrim.
Everything always comes back to Skyrim.
As if skyrim without mods wouldn't be milked to death within the first few months if it was also released in 2023

Skyrim, Skyrim never changes.
Snoozefield works like a sleep aid or repellent, two in one.
Been playing for 12 years and still love learning about the basics ❤
Still? All the time?
@@subject8776everyday, 7 days a week, all the time, without failure.
Same xD
I can relate - World of Warcraft for me.
I love how this video has 1/3rd more views in less time than the starfield videos, shows you we never leave Skyrim, it is eternal
Facts 😅
Bosmer- Respect wildlife and don’t use wood
Faendal- Shops wood for a living
all the more reason to let Sven have Camilla Valerius.
while assassinating Faendal silently in his home to prevent him from getting revenge on you and Sven.
This video came at a perfect time. My brain is all Elder Scrollsy at the moment due to finally playing ESO
Do you like it? I have not played it, just Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind.
@Mary_Beth_Reimer you would probably like it for about a week, or 2. After that the grind for having to have the best build with the perfect race mixed with bad RNG means you'll probably get bored/ tired of it quick. Pretty much only the world makes it feel like elder scrolls, the lore actually doesn't even line up with what's established.

Gameplay: 👎
Storytelling & Worldbuilding: Hit or miss. Some chapters are great, while others are disappointing
@@badluck5647 Good to know, thank you!
@@crispycornugget944 Thank you 😊 I haven't found a good MMO I like for quite a few years.
It will never not bother me that Bethesda retconned the Nords religion in Skyrim without so much as to an explanation for why or how it even happened. I know there's mods like "The old ways" that try to fix it by reintroducing the Nordic pantheon, but it always should have been present in the game from the beginning, and the Stormcloaks should have been followers of their native faith fighting against the Imperialization of their culture & homeland.
There's a quite a few npc's who believe in talos. Main point is the stormcloaks
@@4rnnr117the Old Ways is different than the Talos worship
Nord Bandits follow the old pantheon
They mention Nordic gods by name many times
@@VolkorelArgili Not really. Talos is part of Nordic pantheon, going as far as old lore from morrowind. But yeah, rest of the pantheon got shafted.
It's good to see you back, Fudge Team. Been sorely hurting for some more delicious, high-quality ES content from your lot.
I do hope Starfield brought you guys some decent revenue while it lasted.
You know a game is truly dead when even the most dedicated Bethesda centric creators abandon it
It just didn't have the lore ES has and not from recent games but through every hand that has touched the series before recent titles.
@@stevenvasquez9869that and it sucks ass in pretty much every dimension
@@EpicwinFTW27that’s probably the biggest problem Starfield has. It just doesn’t have established lore to build on and expand. Bethesda today is not good at starting from scratch
@EpicwinFTW27 ehh... What? When did they abandoned it?
Man its crazy to me that drew left the channel for variety content and still ended up posting mostly elder scrolls content and pulling roughly the same amount of views as this channel. Life is wild
What's Drew's new channel?
@tegan-lynn889 drewmora or something like that. It's almost the exact same channel, but the twist is its only ran by the man who put the most into his work and research
Please, bring Sulan Dres back! I'd also love to see more Skyrim builds
This was great, looking forward to more videos on the lesser races. Goblins, sprigans, ect...
If they haven't made it yet I might lol
I loved this. It was nostalgic. I miss those older vids yall used to do all the time. I'd watch you vids n Shoddycast's vids. Hrs long n i was enthralled. Hope yall make some more. Elder Scrolls has such wonderful lore. 🤘
WONDERFUL way to start the weekend!
Thank you, guys! I was really hoping we’d get a video out of you soon.
Can’t wait to listen to it all, as a refresher for my lore memory.
These visuals are absolutely stunning.
This is a GREAT addition to your offerings. Clear, engaging, and tonally on point!
Your videos are always a pleasure. They manage to keep me checking out Skyrim on a regular basis. Your videos are always accompanied by immersive (and triggering ;-) ) music/scenes and your voice is really great to listen to. Thank you for all these years of really great videos. I love them all.
Been playing Skyrim since I was a little girl. I can’t get away from Skyrim, it gives me my happiness back
TES girls = 🔥 🔥
So happy to see another elder scrolls video from yall. I got into modding my skiyrim this year and I watched all of your podcasts videos. I was worried about there not being any more elder scrolls content in the future.
You tell a beautiful story. I watch a few channels that tell the storylines of a few games, the way you tell the story is so eloquent and like listening to a well written book. Please keep doing what you do because you do it so well.❤
Crazy to me that I've been watching this channel since 2014 and I still enjoy every new vid as if it was the first.
Glad to see you guys back on the good stuff
*covers myself in netch jelly* oh finally
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME AND ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLAYERS THERE ARE. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS GIVING US SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT AND LISTEN TOO. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT!
I love the Orsimer. They are the best of both worlds. They have the heritage of the mighty aldmer and the strength of the mighty atmorans.
You guys were seriously missed! And I couldn't be happier to see Elder Scrolls content again! =D Welcome back!
Thank you for this video. It was very enlightening even though I have been playing Skyrim for many years, about 10 years now, again, you have brought to light answers to many questions. Take care and be well
Awesome to see some ES content again! Been watching you guys since your Skyrim (Oldrim) Builds! If you haven't yet, you guys should do a showcase of the mods you currently use!
I was looiking for a video on all of the playable TES races some time ago, and to my surprise it did not exist on the internet. so I'm really happy about this one being uploaded
Great to see an elder scrolls video again as I think Skyrim will be the last Bethesda game I can play alas
Why are you dead?
Great to see you going back to your roots ! Hopefully many more videos of the like on the way
Another banger of a video, but dude, we need your mod list, your game is absolutely beautiful.
BEST overview of Elder Scroll Races to date. Thanks.😊
Your channel is so good. Thank you for years of awesome elder scrolls content.
Props for cramming the info in there with some tight, sometimes almost frantic, pacing. Much appreciated.
I wonder how many times i've seen an Elder Scrolls Race Guide, and I still can't get enough.
Indeed it is a great reminder for the returning. I had my PC fixed and returned to my old Skyrim save. It is a modded treasure, which predates the anniversary edition. Glad to see the channel back as if on cue!
Perfection. Everything i find interesting about this setting. Saving for later.
So glad you're back to making Scrolls content 👍
Cool video. Your builds and lore podcasts helped me get really into TES. Thanks.
i'm really loving these album cover art pieces, conveys a lot of the races' personality in a stylish picture
I'd LOVE to have these combined as a poster or even separate photos to frame.
Jumped back in to hang out with Lydia yesterday. I'm here for it. Thanks team!
There are nedic groups that are still around in highrock and maybe hammerfell and theres the padomaic islanders (asian humans most likely) I hope they get some shine some day
Same it's lame we don't have wide representation of men in the games
I want maormer to get some shine
Hey you're here too... I love your videos man
@@jadonderby2599 thanks
@@user-eg3no9mg8u true that
Have you guys stopped to think that the next bgs game that comes out is going to be ESVI? I know it’s still years away but knowing that it’s next makes me so happy
I think Fallout 5 bro
@@Imperial.Soldier no, they already said the next game is es6. Besides, they’ve had 2 fallout games since Skyrim. No chance they would do that
The next Bethesda game will be the same soulless and bug filled bs.
Love the recap as a long time fan. And as always, appreciate the super cinematic presentation. Guess its time for another modded Skyrim playthrough. Hope to eventually see an Explorer Starfield build. I know its not the best BGS game, but I'd love your take on the build for when I eventually decide to give the game a try. But for now, back to my Dunmer Battlemage! Or maybe a Spellsword or Arcane Warrior this time
This is the content I sub for (appreciate and understand the other stuff) elder scrolls is KING
Welcome back to Elder Scrolls! Missed it❤
Thanks for coming back to the Elder Scrolls.
love listening to these while i work
Thanks. I'm glad you're alive.
I love this game. I love this lore. I love this channel.
And we’re back. Glad to see it
Hey y’all I was wondering if you’d thought about doing a episode of the podcast explaining the Sload I know y’all have covered bits of the the lore but would love to see a fresh look at their story. Much love thanks for always making solid ass content
Yes, back to the old scrolls my brothers. We have been waiting for you.
literally my favorite videos to fall asleep to
Great stuff! I love Elder Scrolls lore. Also at 3:19, lol.
Bro i start to play skyrim today and now know so much things abot it big respact im so glad to play this masterpiece first time
Nice, Elder Scrolls content! finally 😁
Always a great source of lore and entertainment.
Lore makes the games seem more purposeful. Thanks guys!
I missed these. Great stuff
Would really love to watch you play modded CRUSADER KINGS 3 : ELDER KINGS and see which race/s you'll play as to dominate Mundus.
I love playing as the Bosmer. I started doing it for the poison and disease immunity kept coming back because everyone tried to do something new but inevitably return to playing a stealth archer.
Can't believe I burned out on you guys. This has definitely got my eyes back on elder scrolls lore.
This lore is so rich and fascinating. I like the Dunmers the most because they are very smart but not arrogant unlike the Altmers.
Not arrogant? Did you played Morrowind? 😂
@@skotavi5714 Only Skyrim guess you have a point 👍
Love that we're back to Skyrim boys keep this and fallout content alive
love yall needed this vid
Yeah back to Elder Scrolls! ❤
Today we're ranking the best races

Fantastic video
Sweet! I always need more Elder Scrolls lore 😊
Those armor mods are sick
What are bosmor bows and arrows made of
Bone and sinew ?
I feel like every season I go on a month long stint of playing Skyrim. Learning more about the game and elder scrolls lore. Trying different builds. Adding or taking away mods.
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!!!!
3:48 love my moon monk robes!
Finally a real video. Thought this channel was going to die with Starfield.
That first image...
❤
wow.
THANK YOU For returning to Skyrim.
Can't wait for your next Starfield video! Having a blast with the game and I have to thank you for introducing me to it :)
thank god, new ES content
Its getting colder outside? Skyrim season has began😎
When are the singles related to those covers in 0:37 coming out?
So.. Have they given up on Starfield?
Awesome lore vid, but what armor mods you got?
Skyrim content is best ❤
Those armours are all really cool lookin'
Would be super curious to see what you guys think of any lore connections with this new Daedric Prince called Ithelia...was there any hint or mentioning that there may be other Daedric Princes outside of those we already knew? And though it is in ESO, was given the green light and in conjunction with BGS that they were able to create this new Prince.
From a Metatextual Perspective, each race is meant to embody a certain kind of stock fantasy:
Altmer - Tolkienesque elves; ancient, magical, and often self-superior.
Bosmer - The other main flavor of fantasy elves, those deeply in tune with the natural world.
Dunmer - An above-ground reimagining of the “wicked” subterranean dark elves (cf. Svartalfen and Drow).
Orsimer - Basically just fantasy Orcs but also from the Old Elnefae.
Imperials - Fantasy Romans/Italians and Classical Antiquity.
Nords - Fantasy Vikings/Germanic peoples and the Early Middle Ages.
Bretons - Fantasy Britain/France, the High Middle Ages, and the Arthurian Legends.
Redguards - Fantasy North/West Africa designed by people who didn’t know much about African history/cultures.
Khajit - Fantasy Arabs/Persians, partially inspired by 1,001 Nights, but they’re also furries because why not.
Arginians - Some top-tier Michael Kirkbride skooma-fueled out-there world-building.
I'd love to see the script for your videos put into in-game books, and find them scattered throughout the college library
I had a good idea for a Build maybe. A Khajiit who was raised by Woodelfs, and follows the ways of the Green Pact. im not realy knowledgebale in terms of lore but if you think it's a good idea why not make a build. I don't think you guys made one of those or if you did, i can't remember.
Surprised you guys aren’t running up some BG3 it’s excellent
Back to Nirn❤ great video guys. By the way does anyone know from which mod is the animtion played around min 5:28? Is it SkyIdles?🤨
Hey, I think i found something new in skyrim.
I have no idea how it happened or how I triggered it. But to the left of the alftand lift in blackreach . I somehow managed to spawn a "giant centurion" when I killed it, it had a note on it Titled " sinderion the menace"
The letter talks about a new spell sinderion worked on before he was killed and how the military was interested in his work. The letter leads you back to his field lab and on the top of the fire place on the right side there's a new spell called "bound blade" and a note left by sinderion, explaining how he managed to send a blade to oblivion and back and turned it into a spell.
The spell itself is expert level and the blade is the exact model of the ebony blade you can get in whiterun.
I'd love to see a video of your thoughts on the potential of Ai in skyrim? Since there are several mods now that use it.
oh, how I miss delving into the lore of the ES series. I've been playing bg3, but it's just not the same
I kinda wanna see a return of the elder scrolls 6 discussions, especially in light of starfields release, and possible things we see bethesda change in its up coming DLC. I think Elder Scrolls 6, should take Skyrim’s perk trees and change them up. This is based on my understanding of how the starfield perks actually work. Starfield didn’t really have 82 skills, but rather 5 skills with a total of 328 perks, while Skyrim had 18 skills with 251 perks, so I could see them moving towards an average of these, reducing the total number of skills and expanding perks. I see Bethesda making it 15 skills with 300-350 perks, averaging 20-25 perks in each tree.
Enchanting:
This should be removed as a skill. The mage skills should just be the 5 schools of magic. Enchanting could then be a major reward for finishing the mage’s guild quest like, like you become a leading member and get a player home like usual but then the real reward if your own arcane enchanter. The level on enchantments would then be entirely determined by the soul stone used: petty give 5% boost, lesser 10%, Common 20%, greater 35%, and Grand 50%. This would make finishing that quest like feel extremely rewarding. For players that don’t go into the mages guild there could be merchant enchanters in a few of the major cities, that give enchantments up to the common 20% boost with one major merchant that gives up to the greater 35% boost. Then non mages aren’t locked out of the benefits of enchanting, but are locked out of the highest tier enchantments, and give them something to spend massive amounts of gold on.
Illusion:
Illusion could include distraction spells like the “throw voice” shout, and expand a bit on the fear, riot, calm, and rally spells, they could also include persuasion boosting spells you can cast on your self for a general boost or on specific NPC’s for greater effect.
Conjuration:
Conjuration needs to expand the variety of summons, and allow you to have multiple sooner, like having two as an apprentice perk, and three as an expert, with the master perks increasing the effectiveness of your summons instead of quantity, like buffing armor, duration, and damage for summons, with the master spells giving you summons with unique powers, like an atronach that focuses on healing the caster, or a daedroth with absorb health attacks.
Destruction:
Destruction could bring back poison spells, which Bethesda kinda already did with miraak’s staff and the lurker’s attacks, just let players do that and that’s all the perk expansion needed for destruction. The spells added could include touch spells, sacrificing range for power, like making the “Ice form” shout a touch spell.
Restoration:
Restoration needs some bolstering spells and a bolstering perk branch, so players can be the party healer with their companions, and lets them buff their companions as well making you more active in a support role, these could come as AOE spells meaning you need to be close to your companions to help, putting the player in danger, or targeted spells to buff individuals.
Alteration:
Alteration needs more transformation spells and related perks. Transmute ore was great as in let you increase profit from iron and silver mining but give us more transformation spells, and you could even give them a combat application, with like polymorphing low level enemies into goats and chickens, the perks would then increase the level of enemies that can be effected and let you command the transformed enemies, like an expert spell could transform an enemy into a mercenary you can order to fight for you, and these kinds of spells would be balanced to only work on enemies up to like 30 or something so you can’t one shot bosses by turning them into chickens.
Block, light armor and heavy armor:
Block should also be removed as a skill. Block could be divided into light and heavy armor. The heavy armor shield perks could decrease stagger and incoming damage, making the pure heavy armor build an absolute juggernaut, brushing off damage. The light armor shield perks would focus on bashing, really use the shield as a secondary weapon, since a light armor build would want to get hit as little as possible so using the shield traditionally wouldn’t exactly fit with the otherwise speed-oriented play. this would focus on the shield doing stun damage or staggering the target creating openings for the payer to attack.
Two Handed:
Two handed really only needs one expansion, spears! Giving two handed 4 weapon types would expand the tree and give players more variety. Spears would focus on range and piercing damage, so perks could increase ignored armor, since real strategy with spears is to stab the unarmored spots, like arm pits neck and groin. You could also lock power attacks behind perks, making standard power attacks just have a X1.25 damage multiplier, while the perk power attacks give you other benefits. The spear would have a lunge, than moves you forward and does even more piercing damage, Great swords could have a spin attack for crowd control that does massive damage to all enemies in range, Battle axes could have an executioner style attack that does massive bleed damage, and War hammers could do a low blow to the legs that gives a guaranteed stun condition, if they bring stun damage in like the EM damage in starfield, leaving opponents in a downed state. So, each weapon has its specialty, spears have best range and piercing damage, great swords have second best range and sweep damage, Battle axes have third range and bleed damage, War hammers would have stagger or stun damage with a low range.
One Handed:
One handed should have the “fist-weapons”. One handed having swords, axes, maces, and now the fist-weapons would again expand payer options and make a boxer build benefit from an actual skill tree. The fist-weapons would have extremely short range and be extremely fast, making a brawler one of the ways to get extreme DPS. Swords, axes and maces would function again almost identical to their two-handed counterparts. You could also start adding unique weapons such as a club, which would be a pure stun damage version of a mace, benefiting from the same perks.
Archery:
Archery could be expanded by including a crafting branch. This branch of perks would allow archers to craft different types of specialty arrows. Stun arrows would work well for a pacifist build, they could also make fire, shock, frost, acid, or explosive arrows using this branch in the perk tree.
Pickpocket and Sneak:
Pickpocketing doesn’t need to be its own perk tree. Pick pocket could be the third branch in the sneak tree along with stealth and damage branches it already has. This would get rid of some of pickpockets more convenience based perks like the extra pockets, which would be countered if backpacks are in the game from the start. This would also let you move the poisoner perk over with the damage boosting sneak perks. Daggers should still rely on the sneak skill for increasing damage in my opinion, just boost then to x5 and x20 for daggers to make them competitive with the other forms of damage in the game.
Smithing Alchemy and Speech:
Smithing is fine as it is. The expansion of different craftable items will allow for more variety in smithing perks. The only possible added tree could be a homesteading skill branch, like integrating the Hearthfire DLC into the smithing perk tree, like letting a master smith build a fortress and a novice build a shack, kinda bringing the outpost and settlement system into elder scrolls as a part of an established perk tree. I’m not much of a fan of this one but I could see them trying it. Alchemy is another like smithing I can see being used to bring in the outpost and settlement system to elder scrolls. This would focus on the farming and resource generation aspects, and again like with smithing I’m not the biggest fan of the possible addition. Speech would be the other skill used to bring in these systems, with the population management and setting up trade lines to other forts you make, or to merchants you do quests for, that kinda thing and like the other two skills I would prefer these mechanics stay out of elder scrolls but this is how I could see them feasibly implement the outpost and settlement system into Elder Scrolls 6.
Lockpicking:
Lockpicking could really be expanded by increasing the variety in things to lockpick. They could create new lockpick minigames for dwemer ruins, and dwemer constructs, like hacking robots in fallout, and new puzzles for redguard tombs. But other than expanding the puzzles, jerry-rigging dwemer constructs using lockpicking is the only real expansion to lockpicking likely
So men/mer are descendants of wandering elmophy/ old Elmophy who were themselves either descendants of fallens gods or are fallen gods themselves. They lost their mortality when lorkan tricked some of his fellows gods to help create mundus but were weakened and permanently trapped there who are called the adrea vs gods who didn't partipate and kept their power are called deadra

Thank you for this video,Its been 4 months since you made a skyrim video!
