artist: / ratopomboart Dagoth-Ur finds out the Nerevar has reincarnated as an argonian. nothing is mine lol, clip was by anon using elevenlabs this is a morrowind meme using elevenlabs voice ai stuff
elvenlabs voice ai shit is incredible. schizo elijah did one with father elijahs voice from elvenlabs and it was perfect as well. I for one welcome our new AI overlords
@@monkeydash4349 That's not a bad thing. Feudalism and mercantism had to go for capitalism and liberal democracies to rise in its place. So, too, will our status quo have to fade to be replaced by something better.
Same, it's so perfect. Like it makes sense, but at the same time it's reincarnation, so technically he could come back as anything. A Breton man or a red guard woman.
@@Gallic_Gabagool Nah, someone will need to create material for them to learn from it. So now voice actors will distribute rights to use some kind of voice packs with dozens of hours of them talking that you can buy for the AI to teach it and use in it, or they will add some kind of subscription so you would have a right to use imitation of their voices
“Nerevar, remember when I said I wanted to be remembered in my own words? I have changed my mind, if I succumb to your blade tell no one of what transpired here.“
To be fair, it would be incredibly awkward to see the Nerevarine reincarnated as a member of a race that your own race routinely exploited and marginalized for an uncomfortable amount of time. Edit: In retrospect, this comment was really stupid and I'm really happy it blew tf up.
@@mauriciomendoza720 So that's why I need to Consume Moon Sugar and/or Skooma to actually read and understand *Divine Metaphysics* and *The Egg of Time* because Kagrenac was stoned when he wrote these books 😂
Similar vibes with being a Khajiit (given the cultural hatred of Argonians is accompanied by cultural hatred of Khajiit), plus the awkwardness of realising your former friend and now nemesis is a catgirl.
@Squeaky245 Yeah but let's not forget the original voices that are not AI and not bow to your glorious new tech at every turn. You guys sound desperate.
@@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475 Ai tech represent everything that's wrong with the western society imo. Don't have the talent to draw ? Let an AI do it for you, can't imitate voice ? Use an Ai, can't do music ? Well, its just a matter of time until an Ai do that too. Its nothing more than rewarding mediocrity and the people who support it are just a bunch of lazy talentless sloths who hope that they will be able to use AI to create stuff without any efforts.
"When Argonia sends its argonians, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending argonians that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing skooma. They’re bringing daedra worship. And some, I assume, are good lizards." -Dagoth Ur
"Together we shall speak for the law and the land, and shall drive the mongrel lizards- dogs. I mean dogs." is fucking insanely well delivered. This AI somehow has perfect comedic timing and inflection, and I am very conflicted about it 😂
Unfortunately those are going to run out soon enough given they locked the fun bits of synching actual voices to make this behind paywalls aswell as limits of how much you can do each month.
The thought of Dagoth Ur saying “No dude.” is so funny to me. Lapsing from the theatrical and sophisticated way of speaking as is common in the world of Tamriel into something so modern and casual to us because he’s just so caught off and flabbergasted
No one talking about this gem: "I don't know what the hell Azura is playing at making you an Argonian, but I assume it's a joke." Can you imagine that after 8 failed attempts, Azura decides to do something wacky just to piss him off.
Azura realized, that it is madness to try the same thing over and over again and expect different results. Plus the 8 dunmers hoped that maybe it was not to late for his mercy if they laid down their weapons...
@@Snyperwolf91I don't know what game you were playing, but getting blighted was a huge fucking problem. Blighted, being chased by Cliff racers and guar while you desperately try to reach the next town so you can sell some junk and maybe use a silt strider next time. There was a lot of problems.
Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if Asura would've had a hand in the reincarnation of the Nerevarine to be an Argonian as just an extra slap in the face to the Tribunals "Yall killed my favorite. Now you get to die by farm tool"
TBH this is why I always think of the Nerevarine as anyone but a Dark Elf. It's a much more interesting story if part of the reason it's such a political shitshow is because the Dunmer are like "...wait they can't do that" when the *whole point* is that of course some random chump is gonna fulfill your prophetic requirements eventually. And because of how TES works that was enough.
It's great because you're basically out-Dunmering the Dunmer. Their entire society is built around the illusion that social mobility is possible and anyone can rise high if they're ambitious and cunning enough. But in reality, they've been led by the same three Gods and the same five Great Houses for thousands of years. They have institutionalized chattel slavery.They have church-backed police forces who crack down on anyone who questions the status quo. They've got a legalized guild of assassins who will attempt to kill whoever you ask them to for the right price - which inevitably favours the rich. All while the entire country has steadily declined while the very people who built it were either unable to save it, uninterested in doing so, or actively contributing to the destruction. Then this random chump enters the country with nothing but the clothes on their back, and does what no inhabitant of Morrowind has done since Nerevar himself: they rise up from nothing to become a major political player who is so powerful that Vivec himself has to concede to them. You are exactly the type of person they have spent thousands of years idolizing and they aren't fully cognizant of that fact until *after* you have saved them all. At which point you fuck off to Akavir and leave them to suffer a series of disasters and long-overdue social upendings as karmic justice for all the shit they've done, forcing them to finally reform their society into something less awful instead of relying on godlike heroes to protect and guide them.
This is actually why of all the non-dunmer I find imperial to be the funniest from a political angle. Imperials are actively colonizing and fricking up Vardenfell, they then throw some rando imperial out and claim it fulfills prophecy, and then this n’wah rises to the top of house Redoran. As a Dunmer I would be very lost.
@@daroth7127 I reject your reality and substitute it for my own. Besides, this is his only dialogue about it: "You are too young to remember the Nerevarine. He defeated Dagoth Ur and saved us all from the blight." Nothing about them being Dunmer.
Every single moment of this is masterful, holy fuck. Everyone has already mentioned "because you were a dunmer the last 8 fucking times" but I also really like how he suddenly interrupts himself because he said "mongrel lizards." Beautiful
The dunmer absolutely deserve an Argonian Nerevarine. Poetic justice. Also like, the argonians are great. Favorite TES species. They fucking rocked the Oblivion Crisis so hard that the daedra had to seal up the gates for fear of being counter-invaded.
If that’s what you believe, depending on the source that’s not exactly what happened. This is also part of the reason why Elder Scrolls lore is so interesting, much of it is from personal accounts in books just like real life. We don’t know how much is accurate.
And the whole thing with the hist predating the création of tamriel is just wild. The poor dædras rushed out of the oblivion gates, only to stumble around in toxic marshes, getting harassed by creatures unheard of as lizard-people pelted them with spears and arrows...
Although I hate the idea that AI can be so good at replicating voices that they are virtually indistinguishable from the person they are imitating, the memes that come out of it will be great.
Dude if anyone having such a conversation , they will be rasping from frustration because if they stop conversation or make the wrong sentence then they will be canceled
God I love this, I've rewatched it an incoherently large number of times already and it's only been out for 8 days. The cadence is just so, delicious, like, I know it's an AI but like, the awkwardness of the situation seeps through, and it's so good. Man... this is gold.
Some fans of TES may think that the last 8 times were over thousands of years. In reality they were over about 10 years because the Nerevarine is only the Nerevarine once they have Moon and Star and Azura keeps trying to fulfill this prophecy
Argonian Nerevarine is the best shit to happen and I think it is for sure canon. Azura not only slapped the Dunmer but taught them a lesson in racism 😂
I mean she didn't seem the cares the 1000+ years when they were chimer doing it. thought dunmer often keep khajit slaves and khajit worship an aspect of azura so i wonder if she cares about the cats. though i see no reason for her favoring argonians or caring for them at all really since they often worship the hist and azura is often depicted as being a loving patron but a jealous so i dont think she has any real worry or care for non worshipers
To be fair, both incarnations of Nerevar would also be extremely uncomfortable with the situation. Also, whoever recorded this sounds exactly 1:1 like Dagoth Ur's original VA. Edit: Soooo... it's an AI voice, huh? Oh God, I think this is the first time I was actually deceived. It certainly won't have been the last...
You fell for the false dagoth. So naive, shame on you! (I figure youd know this but in case others dont im just making a reference to the deleted voice line from having the false copy of sunder in morrowind)
Wow... that was amazingly seamless AI voice acting. We're near a point where we could get a mod adding full AI voice acting to Morrowind and it would sound as if it was always there.
in my mind nev just been staring at him silently the whole time, he think nev is judging him, but silly lil lizzert actually fell asleep with his eyes open.
The scariest part of these Dagoth Ur Ai recordings is how much more lively and emotive they are compared to the actual voice acting in these games.(Especially Skyrim)
I like to think that for each of the elders scrolls games, the native race is who the Canon protagonist is. Conversely, it's way funnier if the entirety of these heros throughout time were always lizards, lol.
@@cameron-yo6zp Yeah, but they're literally pruning equipment made by a race of sentient narcissistic trees, plus, they didn't leave blackmarsh until the dark elves started enslaving them on mass. They're only native to black marsh. Suffice to say, they're my least favorite species in elder scrolls, despite having some cool lore.
@@ifiguredouthowtochangemyna3945 Well I think they're cute and pretty cool, hate that we'll never actually see Black Marsh in single player ES games though
In my head it's basically CANON that the Nerevarine is a Female Argonian. Not only do you get unique dialogue in the main questline for being a female Nerevarine character, but being an Argonian (which at the time of Morrowind is among one of the most despised and mistreated races in the province) is such a slap in the face of all the uptight Grand Council which is a nice bonus. And not only that, but in Morrowind, you also meet the soon-to-be author of the Lusty Argonian Maid, Crassius Curio, in Vivec City. And if you are a female character, he flirts with you and calls you his "dumpling". And what does the protagonist of that book (Crantius Colto) call his maid? "My dumpling" In other words, Lusty Argonian Maid is just a self-insert fanfic of Crassius and a female Argonian Nerevarine... I rest my case.
Wait for Azura to rebirth the Nerevarine as a skooma-packing Kajiit high off its tail all the time, that rushes into Dagoth's chamber, pisses on the rug, meows and then donuts Dagoth with a clawed punch, only to then faceslam on the ground for the sudden gargantuan return trip.
How does this not scare people? This is a nearly flawless recreation of the dude's voice. Like yea this is funny and all, but imagine how people will use this technology to exploit others.
For real I've seen a few other videos like this with dagoth ur voiced by ai and it honestly creeps me the fuck out, like how is an ai trained on like 3 minutes of dialogue so perfect?
This technology has almost no impact on the common person and celebrities/politicians already say insane things with zero repercussions. It's just audio photoshop.
Woah!🤯 Amazing how far AI-speech has come. I can still recall overhearing classmates back in middle school abusing the computer lab's iMacs text-to-speech function. This was from around 2000 or so.
Get in touch with a Morrowind modder and get this put into the game. I wanna play the game as an Argonian, make it to Dagoth and then encounter this unique interaction
My Argonian Character: "The nerve of these bandits. They think they could rob me? If I still had my spear I could slaughter them all and they could do nothing about it! Sadly I have to fight fair. I'd still have it if I didn't get captured crossing the boarder into Skyrim. Those stupid imperials. Do I look like a Stormcloak??! I'm not even a Nord!"
