Welcome to my channel. Here I play the older games that escaped my attention back when they were revolutionary.Today, they're known as classics, and I'm here to share my genuine first-time experiences with you, whether it's joy and excitement, or anger and frustration.
I also delve into the lore of The Elder Scrolls series and present my findings, sharing the best stories in the series that you have never heard before. These videos take a while to make, so please be patient!
I hope you enjoy what I have to offer so far. Stick around, because more is on the way.

Hi DN, Hope all is well! Just wanted to say your lore video's are still one of my favourite and hope one day you'll return with more awesome video's. Fingers crossed till then!
Kind of a theory but I've always assumed the reason the heart couldn't be destroyed was due to the fact the Aedra were substantially weaker and simply lacked sufficient power to properly destroy it.
Hearing ted cry about the racism of racial bonuses and how they should just be cultural is hilarious. I'm curious if Ted would feel the same way if Redguards had the highest intelligence. His point about making the orcs have cultural ressons for disliking magic is asinine. You can do a story where the racial characteristics of groups of people separated by long periods of time, various Gods influencing their creation, etc has a feedback loop on their culture. Which is how this works in real life. This bad feeling he has is religiously motivated, not rational. His religion says evolution stopped at the neck, so by golly any fiction he creates will pretend there are no genetic or biological differences between anything at all. The idea that introducing less diversity into the world would make the setting better is just coping. Now our denial of reality in the real world seeps into fiction, and we have to pretend that everyone who is capable of speaking a language is equally intelligent.
"[How Daggerfall's endings are all canon] is a complicated subject and will have to wait a little longer." Damn, Dragon Breaks must *really* be messy if it's taken 2+ years to make a vid about it lol
I'll bet the "totem" was originally meant to be a baby, a blood descendant of Tiber Septim who could control the Mantela. It was probably cut from the game last minute and sloppily given new lore because the idea of kidnapping a baby and using it as a quest item to give away was too controversial. It then makes sense why there was an option that didn't make it into the game where you keep the totem (raising the baby yourself).
I think the Tsaesci are men - after all Blades armor is Tsaesci. But as by the time the first game takes place it has been almost a thousand years since the last one was seen and many were killed off. Versidue Shaie was probably a vampire given how long lived he was.
I personnaly find Dragon Breaks to be kinda lame, and given how that Dragon Break shook out it seems like really only 2 of the endings actually became canon anyway (maybe 4), those being Mannimarco ascending to godhood & the Empire supressing the rebellion, the potential other ones being the Underking finally dying for good & (this is mostly because I forget) Orsinium getting established, though this was undone in later events anyway. The only event in Daggerfall that actually matters is that by the time of Morrowwind the Empire controls Daggerfall again, each ending where one of the kingdoms used the numidium can simply be explained by stretching out the timeline and say "yeah each one held power in the region for a time". As for Mannimarco becomming a god & the Underking dying forever we can say that both of those events happened regardless of who used the numidium and rationalize it away as "some say they used the special power, but others believe they did it <insert other way>". And there you go, all of Daggerfall is canon, no dragon breaks needed.
For the bit re: Convention taking place on Nirn, but the theory that Lorkhan’s body became Nirn: A possible solution to this contradiction is that, according to theory, Convention occurred during the Dawn era, which is also described as a period where ‘time followed an incomprehensible nonlinear path’. With this, and the power that Lorkhan kept, and possibly his trickery involved with the creation of the Mundus; could it be that another part of Lorkhan’s great trick or lie was that killing him, or through some final act of his own power while he was being killed, some change occurred which made Nirn thus exist from his sundered form? Could the act of killing him have triggered his heart’s integral role in the existence of Nirn? Maybe not explaining this the best, but yeah, there are a lot of unknowns and honestly, I think this could fit his trickster personality very well. Especially if there is then a long-term goal to undo the work of Anu’s creation.
Pelinal, possibly a Shezzarine, saying his maniacal homicidal rages feel like “when the dream no longer needs its dreamer” goes hard AF. Think about having a dream and the beings in it being so wronged, that the dream itself becomes animate and goes on a rage bender. This gets even crazier when you consider the concept of the Godhead, and all of the Aurbis being a dream. Either the creation/dream itself, or Shor/Lorkhan, being the heart of Mundus itself, was PISSED at the Ayleids. Just. Damn.
I still can’t figure out if Gothryd is a good guy or a bad guy. If you present the letter exposing lord woodborne to him or aubki they try to kill you (?) it’s confusing because the writing about this game and the diegetic story telling are different sometimes
Honestly when i heard snow demons, I thought of Karstaag, I know he's a frost giant and they are kinda of their own thing but it'd be interesting if they're actually related and are remnants of that attempted Morrowind invasion
@@BigZ971 Keep in mind that the Imperial Divines are a synthesis of Nordic and Aldmeri belief systems. Just as Shor's importance was lessened for the benefit of Alessia's elven subjects (who knew him as the trickster Lorkahn), it's likely Trinimac (who slew Shor/Lorkahn) was excluded all together for her Nordic allies.
Ted Peterson seems like a really talented and smart individual but his comment at 1:20:00 is really dumb. Black people irl tend to have more muscle mass and are least likely to get sunburned. You can see that as 'Plus 10 strength' and '20% resistance to fire'. It's okay to make the humanoid race have racial differences. Also, if the different elf races have unique bonuses then why shouldn't the different races of humans have different bonuses? In the lore, the Dwemer were geniuses and that's part of what makes them so fascinating.
@@AB-sw4kb I'm not saying Redguards should have fire resistance. The racial bonuses doesn't need to be analogous. But saying it's racist for different races to have different inherent bonuses is just nonsense.
Did you know one of the drafted original plots for Skyrim would’ve seen Uriel V still be alive, and return to take back Tamriel with an army of dragons?
I never comment on YT, and I'm dipping before spoilers, but I just wanted to say two things: one, I'm excited to come back to this to hear your thoughts on a game I've been interested in, and two, I really enjoy your videos and hope you return to them someday when you're ready.
I get this is an old video and I don't know how many people will see this but When Pelinal screamed "Reman!", it's just as, if not more likely that he meant it literally. "Reman" means "Light of Man." Just a thought 🤷♂
