The inspiration for creating this animation stemmed from my desire to draw The Emperor with expressions of anger and helplessness. When I happened to hear this amazing song, I decided, after some contemplation, to spend five months of my life making an animation.
The character with black eyes in the animation is actually my Dragonborn Tav I created in the game, and the other Dragonborn with white eyes is the Durge. But that doesn't really matter! You can interpret and feel these two characters in your own way.
A big thanks to Larian Studios for their dedication in creating such an outstanding game, and to Tom Cardy for his incredible music. I hope my animation brings you joy.

The idea of Tav somehow being more deranged than Durge is hilarious to me

Murderous blood lust he understands. Pure Sheogorath level lunacy? He has no idea what you’re going to do!

@yoursonisold8743 Месяц назад

You could always play an evil Tav, but also one who absolutely gives no fucks. Durge at least has daddy dearest's quest and all the ritual murder has a purpose. Sort of. A Tav who doesnt care and does whatever they want? Absolute madhouse.

Y'know how Minthara will chastise you for murdering the grove of your own free will while she was mind-controlled? Durge is fighting a mind illness provoking violence while Tav isn't crazy, he's willing and cognizant while being that deranged.

@@icetide9411I presume that you came to this conclusion because that dragonborn's horns resemble the default DUrge horns more and that's a reasoning I can agree with, however I reject this conclusion because that bard looks and acts too much like a bhaalspawn.

I always knew that the Emperor is a true DM. 1.He leads you along the path he has planned. 2.He gives you advices not to do stupid things that could potentially lead to your death. 3.He complains, but still saves you if you do such stupid things. It’s like: “Okay, without you there won’t be a plot anyway. Take a second chance.”
