Having just awakened from his Long Sleep, Dagoth Ur confronts the Tribunal gods as they make their annual trip to the Heart Chamber. Big thanks to @OakleyFugate for suggesting this idea to us!
"I heard Molag Bal rode your head like a bucking Guar though, so maybe that supernatural syphilis is starting to mess with your mind" is similarly cold
Couldve been funny too, though, if sotha was the meat bag version and dagoth mentioned it. Also, i didnt play morrowind (was only 5 in 2002) but i did enjoy interacting with the Tribunal in eso.
Guy is already a God-like Adult, he should stop playing with children's toys and actually do some adult god-like stuff. Like taxing his followers before the imperial IRS shows us.
I've often said Dagoth was _almost_ a good guy. He was absolutely right in opposing the tribunal and the dwemer were absolutely slaver assholes who deserved to be taken down, but Dagoth himself is a racist conqueror who doesn't understand the horrifying god-magic he inflicts upon his followers, which disqualifies him from being right.
I love how Dagoth, Vicec, and Amalexia are all low res but Sotha Sil is chilling with his high polygon count. Then again the Elder Scrolls 3 model is a bit... cadaverific after Amalexia was done with him.
Vivec: "Wh- HOW?! What even _are_ you?!" Almalexia, drawing Hopesfire "...Must kill the loose end. Must protect image..." Sotha Sil: "we're dead we're dead we're dead we're dead we're dead-"
I finished the Vvardenfell zone story in ESO yesterday where you have to save Vivec from getting divinely drained, and as neat as that was I won't lie I had Dagoth yelling this at the back of my mind for a chunk of the climax.
@@sygmarvexarion7891 It's now my headcanon that every time they needed to recharge, they had to withstand Dagoth absolutely roasting them for a few minutes
I can picture the three standing on the edge of the chamber, sotha sil is keeping his composure acting like he knew this would happen but internally shitting himself. Almalexia has a arrogant expression and acting like she regrets nothing, because she doesn't. And vivec is visibly cowering on a corner while Dagoth ur is bringing the facts on their faces from the bridge that leads to the heart.
I hope i never get tired of these dagoth memes. Every time i hear him go off like this in character it feels like the lore gets expanded 1 video at a time
Dagoth Ur is a perfedct villain. He's perfect. He's intoxicating and even a little .... innocent when it comes to his naivety. He knows they used him as a fall guy, but will never admit he possessed those 'nice guy' traits that are just begging to be used. The right person in the wrong place. Like anyone who is too weak to grasp destiny but still takes a taste.
So this is the battle of Red Mountain that sent the Tribunal limping home without their full godhood. They got annihilated by the sermons of Lord Dagoth!
I feel like if the tribunal could have taken dagoth they would have just done it themselves. They knew they betrayed their people and the one loose end they could have cut came back hard bodied, angry, and insane.
Well the Tribunal deserved it, especially Almexia (idk how to spell) pretender god lexi betrayed her husband to be a pretend god. Dagoth ur is a god, how can you kill a god? Dagoth would say intoxicating innocence, but there isn’t any innocence here. Except Dagoth Ur
Vivec prides himself in his wisdom and cunning, exemplified through his 36 lessons. Dagoth uses one of them to mock him and call him insane. Almalexia spent all her life pursuing purity and power. Dagoth calls her a homicidal whore. Sotha Sil went up against his own ancestor to help the people. Dagoth calls him aloof and a nuisance.
