the algorithm has been blessing me with quality lore channels lately.

See this is quality content. I try to dig into Fudgemuppets numerous videos, but his Dungeon Master voice just tunes me right out for some reason. You use a normal voice, which makes me feel like I'm listening to a conversation vs a bed time story, use illustrations and NPC voiced dialogue to switch things up and keep us attentive. Keep up the good work my friend.

I cant fathom why theres so few videos on this guy.

I got a idea, Mannimarco the god, uses the altmer as a sort of shuttle. We see when he was a Monk that he called necromancy puppetry, he could likely be using a similar form of puppetry on the man we see in oblivion.

Great video, good editing and love the use of dialogue as quotes

Necromancy is forbidden for a reason. At the very least Stephen kings pet cemetery was a good example on why.

Wow, man. Your videos are actually some of the best pieces on TES lore I've seen in a really long time. Keep up the good work. I'm sure you'll soon get the recognition you deserve, man.

Anyone else feel like Bethesda dropped the ball on the Mannimarco voice actor? Dude sounds like an old ass graybeard lol. The right vo makes a world of difference. Just my opinion tho. Great content man.

I love these vids; I'm here after having seen both the Mythic Dawn one, and the Dragonborn. Absolutely love seeing these.

Thought on him being the first of the undying liches: all previous liches had to become undead to be immortal, ala the dragon priests and the alyeids. H became the first to have the power and immortality of a lich while still having a living body, not having to sacrifice any of his spirit in the transition. He's always a living being when we see him and doesn't take any effects as an undead would from what I remember in oblivion

I'm digging your lore focused character dives! Keep them coming!

Someone I have been wanting to learn more about. Thank you for this. Subscribed.

i remember encountering him for the first time in oblivion when i was a child and subsequently making fun of him alongside all of the other high elf models. then both of us went through puberty apparently and reconvened years later in the ESO live action trailer. sheesh. why did they think that was necessary? my guy used the dark arts to do a hair follicle transplant. i’ve been down bad ever since.

I personally really like the option 2 theory on Mannimarco in Oblivion. It to me is a very uniquely elder scrolls thing to have two seemingly paradoxical things to be taking place. It also makes me wonder how does the memories of this Mannimarco we meet in Oblivion work. Is he aware of his Apotheosis, or does he only have the memories of not receiving the stone of Tiber Septum from the agent?

Love, love, love this stuff! It opens whole new ways to look at (and play) the games. Great stuff!

I discovered your channel today and I m amazed. Really good content

Amazing high quality video Dareloth!! Very nice editing and great story telling! Will be checking in for more content from you as always Hope these videos get super popular, you deserve it!!

Love lore videos, good job covering everything from all the games he's been in and the stuff in between

Really good presentation. Mannimarco is one of my favorite characters in all TES. Subscriber gained!

Excellent video. I'm partial to the imposter theory as the most credible -in lore- explanation. Out if lore, someone at Bethesda just messed up 😁

Fourth Mannimarco option: Although he ascended his mortal body was still undead. Thus he would be able to control it and it having the amount of power that he had in life, thus how he could still learn and grow in power despite already being deified. Normally the Aedra and those who have ascended are strictly bound to their Aedric planes. They can appear to mortals and grant boons to them but cannot casually create avatars for themselves and especially not at their full power level. Such things require extraordinary circumstances like with Martin Septim. So although Talos can appear to people I don't think he could go around personally fighting with his full power. If he could then surely he'd go around fighting in every imperial battle.

Most excellent dive!

Really enjoyed this! I hope you do one for Molag Bal one day

I got this guy confused with Mankar Camorun the other day and my son almost hit me for mixing them up 😭

This was incredible! 🙏 Gotta sub. Very interesting character mannimarco is, I really wish they made him look like the badass he is in oblivion instead of giving him this dorky elf look, from what I know that’s the last we see of him physically and I wanted him to look menacing as always, ah well hope we see more of him in elder scrolls 6 if that ever comes out 😂

I don’t think oblivion mannimarco has to be anything too complex, the gods are known to have avatars, and mannimarco being of nirn originally should have no trouble creating one to meddle. I don’t think manni himself should appear again, unless he’s the primary antagonist of a TES game, but he could fill a role similar to a Daedric prince. He is a god after all, he should be seeking to expand his influence and reward his followers.

Happy Halloween!

Mannimarco is suxh a dope name

I just replayed this questline and thought it was strange that he was a much easier opponent than some of his necromancer underlings

Mannimarco is inevitable

Oblivion did him dirty. They messed up his stats so he cant cast his spells

Love your vids bro need discord 😁💯

7:39 wow how did you make such high quality voice acting? one on one like in game

who's the Worm?

Did you have AI voice read some of the lorebooks?

ESO Mannimarco is best Mannimarco.

17:50 why is he dancin'!?

My Argonian in Morrowind is the daughter of Manimarco and my daggerfall character.

traven did nothing wrong

Why is he kinda…

he then dies in oblivion in the lamest boss fight.
