The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.
The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

Yeah I really feel like they coulda done a lot more with the High Elven architecture in most places. Auridon was the first indicator i guess but it was meant to be a tame cultural barrier, not the real deal...

@ethanschenck9714 4 года назад

@@valeclaw1697 I actually think Auridon was a good start; you could see a lot of elements of what was described previously, only less grandiose. While Alinor looked absolutely beautiful and fit some of the descriptions given, I think that they should have made its buildings look a bit more like Auridon on steroids with more elegant curves, roofs that sweep out from the buildings like wings, and glass lining the buttresses and reflecting even more light than before.

Aldmeris is or was undoubtedly real. It's written about, along with the origins of the Maormer, in the Crystal Tower, and ruins on Summerset only date back so far. It's possible that Tras, current home of the Sload, was once Aldmeris before it was submerged, possibly in the same manner as Yoduka. It's also possible that the Sload were the reason for the Aldmeri exodus, and/or once had feuds with them. Edit: Also, in ESO, certain antiquities excavated in Summerset make direct reference to Aldmeris, such as the Kinlord's Tree, which traces familial lineage back to the first Aldmer immigrant.

@thalmoragent9344 3 года назад

@@OuterRimPride Yeah, Aldmeris may have been destroyed at the end of the Ehlnofey wars, and perhaps the few Mer who remained on a little bit of the OG continent got kicked by the Sload, but you'd think they'd remember that and record it in history. Maybe Aldmeris was like Pangae in our world, a big, solid landmass that got sundered, splitting up and killing many Ehlnofey

The subplot in ESO of the outcasts is very interesting. I imagine many a Bastard born of a night of indescreet passion ends up casteless and cast adrift in Summerset. They create thier own problems by having such a stifling aristocracy. In ESO, I see Ayrenn trying to air them out and a bitter backlash trying to revert to the staus quo. A pity they ended up reverting to thier former elitest tendancies, but an interesting thread to tug at for future Elder Scrolls.

@lukasp5892 5 месяцев назад

I think the sad reality might be that by the 4E the only Altmer left in Alinor are for the most part “racially pure” fanatics. Anyone who didn’t step in line with the Thalmor agenda was ruthlessly persecuted and either killed or banished. It took the Nazis a little over a decade from inception to fully taking over the German government. The Thalmor have had hundreds of years to do the same thing, and are working with a much more culturally homogenous population to begin with (also there is no German “race” irl while there is certainly an Altmer “race” in the games, making the job of propagandizing an “us vs. them” narrative even easier). I like to imagine that some of the more chill Altmer we find in Skyrim like Faralda or Ulundil are those that fled persecution in Alinor and are trying to make a new name for their people.

@joaogarcia6170 Год назад

Yeah, the fact that they have an entirely different view on life to humans is really interesting, believing that they were robbed of immortality and are forced to live in the material world, awaiting to be reunited with their kind in another realm, it suits them a lot considering how long their lives can be. Meanwhile humans have much shorter lifespans and consider life to be a gift, not a prison.

The Altmer are still interesting, but nowhere near as cool as they were depicted in the initial Zenimax concepts. Sadly, as Todd put it, Tamriel is not about magic. If you imagined magic never existed on Tamriel it would still be an enticing place, he said. I disagree. I think the setting suffered creatively.

@danred97 4 года назад

I generally have a pretty big disdain for the High Elves, mostly due to the Thalmor and the Aldmeri Dominion, but this video helped me see the cool and interesting things about the race, their culture, and history. I'll admit, they're more diverse and less one note than I gave them credit for.

@thalmoragent9344 3 года назад

The First Aldmeri Dominion under Queen Ayrenn was pretty cool, and I totally understood their sentiment. I don't like the Thalmor either but I totally understand why they and the current Dominion would be pissed about what Tiber Septum did to them with the Numidium.

Whenever I make a High Elf character, i always make them a humble person and not snooty. EDIT: I also like to think o my High Elves are born outside of the Summerset Isles or they left them to avoid conforming with other elves and basically losing their identity.

If the Nord creation story is correct as well as the high elves that would mean that the Nord's were never elnafey (no idea how to spell that) it might explain why they seem to hate the elves more than the other races of man, since they aren't cut from the same cloth so to speak.

@DaWishard 4 года назад

That’s... not how a dragon break works... when it happens, time is warped as in nothing is really recorded except what happens afterwards. It’s when concurrent time lines meld together. It’s what’s used to do away with lore inconsistencies and make Bethesda have an excuse to say everyone’s choice in a main story is cannon. It does not warp time backwards.

Great explanation. Thanks for posting. It would be great if you guys could do something about the “The Path to Alaxon”, the high elf belief system. That would be a good video:).

@foulmoodcentral2830 3 года назад

Summerset sounds like a paradise to me, with all the time in the world to hone one's interests, talents and crafts and chase them towards their zenith, then to surpass them again and again past even that, all the while a solid and staunch tradition and quality aimed culture is kept, naturally. to the utmost standards possible and not ever allowed to devolve into something as base, ugly and crude as "the norm." Bah.... the Bosmeri could not give up their love for the wild lands and it's chaotic splendour, the Orsimer could not look away at the state their beloved champion had regressed to, unwilling to forsake him.... likewise the Dunmer have given themselves utterly to the whims and whiles of Daedric ambitions and teachings, whereas the Dwemer abandoned belief and creation before it abandoned them. and the Falmer regressed into absolute mongrelism through deceit and tragedy. truly, it falls to the Altmeri people to set things right.
