Achilles and Patroclus were not cousins. They were both close friends, and sort of adopted brothers since they grew up in the same household as Achilles' father adopted Patroklus into his Oikos or household. He was something inbetween a slave and an adopted family member. Their relationship in the last half millenium of Greek society was interpreted by contempories as a sexual one but not they they were in a relationship with each other as they also slept with women. It was a strange yet standard cultural norm within ancient Greek society for these 'close' comradeships.
Not just based but you actually play as him, yeah it get hate because of his relations with Huna. For one however the game should be made with assistance from out mside Bethesda, because they would most likely screw it up. I would audition for the role of pelinal, maybe even a few other characters, I'm quite versatile with my voice.
Pelinal is like a player character who skips dialogue, just picks the combat options in quests and accidentally saved over his main save after mucking about.
Hey guys! Sorry if this video is a little incomplete.... But I did not want to do simply a biography but rather a small video explaining who he was. So sorry if I have not informed you enough :(
Doing the questline where all this happens in Oblivion as an elf makes no sense. If I was an elf there's no way I'd trust a being entirely devoted to the slaughtering of my kind to become one with me.
What a legend. I have his armor from the creation club and gave it to Vorstag without knowing who this guy was. Seems legit, since Vorstag is a very pious and fearless warrior.
Prototype Extra liminal Interstitial Nirnian Assault Lattice Also; I'm quite sure 'Whitestrake' comes from the 'Killing light' that came from his left hand. " he was Pelinal the Whitestrake because of his left hand, made of a killing light;" - Song of Pelinal, v1.
The recent versions of history about Whitestrake said his apprentice was a good friend. In the older versions that Bethesda edited before the knights of the nine DLC actually said that Pelinal often shared the tent with him. I can kinda see why they changed it as you become Pelinal kinda in the knights of the nine DLC, so a lot of people would have probably gotten triggered I think 🤷♂️
It took the combined effort of the gods to soothe him down. When Akatosh judged him for killing too many elves, he looked back and said: "Aka, I sense you look at me looking back at you. For our shared madness I do this." Then proceed to slaughter elven prisoners. When he beat Ayleid Kings, he said "Praise Reman!" and then eat their intestines ( probably while they are still alive). Brutal, brutal knight ! No matter what negative thing they (elves) said about him, Pelinal is a badass ! Yeah keep running !
I personally think Pelinal is just a embodiment of the Emperor of man. Who else would be able to bath in the blood of so many knife eared abominations. I also see Talos as a embodiment of the Emperor of man.
isnt there a theory saying that the last dragonborn was created the same way as Pelinal? just appearing to save the day against all odds and freeing a region from terror? but then again theirs the Shor theory also
"they didn't want the player to assume their character was homosexual by default" Well this is awkward because in the game before Oblivion your character is a straight Man by default... Whatever guess games weren't that open minded until after the 2015s
Firstly, thank you for keeping me sane while doing data entry... expect batches of these comments as I'm on breaks, having scribbled notes while listening earlier. Some of the things that could be added here, is that Pelinal had some very weird stuff going on.. as well as the whole gaping-hole-in-the-heart thing, Pelinal was also "arrayed in armour from the future time" and had "killing light" in his hand, according to the Song of Pelinal. These add many more questions about him, to my mind, as well as adding an additional dimension of weird.
It's my belief that Pelinal was so furious about his apprentice's death because he loved him like his own son. It's purely to maximize the greatness of the character known as The Divine Crusader.
