The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road - Cinematic Announcement Trailer 

The super friends, getting into mischief in every province and most planes of Oblivion

I love how they all have personalities without saying a single word. Sure maybe the altmer said I few lines in the other trailers but ya know...

It's a nice reflection of in-game since we got to do that eventually.

So annoying every time these three shows up, and the repetitive elderslop music on que every time they use the power of friendship.

womp womp @@monoriada117

Just like how this games true intention was to be a pvp fest but ended taking the pve path

​@@deustauriesPVP got sidelined because it is dull as hell and repetitive, woohoo chasing keeps and districts all day for no reason other than feeling important getting to be emperor for half a week 😂😂 PVE will always come out on top in an MMO

this metaphor into the game - pvp is dead? :D

True but with the same clunky gameplay and floaty weaving on megatrash servers and with also the ez kills part. I deeply loved ESO except cash shop and gameplay.

Friendship goals

Yeah but is the Breton still a necromancer? They never addressed that after the Elsewyr cinematic.

@@ChristopherWright Oh shit yeah Could be the quality But he did look kinda flaky around the jaw area

@ChristopherWright Okay so after some research The elf healed him in the end of the 3rd Three Fates trailer, you can see the cut she gave him on the throat slowly disappear. she removed the curse and brought him back to life at the 20:30 mark in the cinematic trailers:

Still think that trailer was the best, Ascendant Lord just handing out beatings.

@@jonbaxter2254 Ikr My man parried a spell

I would be so down, but in the future or the past?

Plot and character design are quite lame, but environment is great

While the game sucks... I'd rather just have a move of this caliber.

I don’t understand why people think they could make a movie. All you saw were some visuals and generic action. Is that all you need??

​@CreativeUsernameEh in the elderscrolls playground yes please. I would geek tf out if they showed us valenwood. Or other stuff lol

Truly, he is the Tennyson of Tamriel

Most eloquent Nord

happens a lot in game as well. Im currently in my skills menu and my nord will randomly scream and raise his arms xD

And you always understand how he feels in the moment when he does

I just love that this is a recurring theme that ties pretty much every game and every expansion since Soule came up with it for Morrowind.

Soule gave the world the Elder Scrolls motif, and games have been using it to get cheap feels out of people ever since.

@@spectral_force5097 how's that? That's literally the point of having motif . It keeps coming back. And Zenimax is not lazy as they usually keeps putting spin on it.

​@@krzysztofczajka6752The motif as it appears in the trailer is entirely unearned - you get three people awkwardly looking at a staff lighting up. The reason why Nerevar Rising is so warmly regarded is because it's the opening theme that sets the tone for the entire game. Here you hear it and your brain goes warm and fuzzy because pretty music you heard before.

Every time.

Love a bit of gothic in my fantasy

I was trying to figure out what tf town that was. Why does the chapel absolutely dwarf the rest of Skingrad ? 😵‍💫

More like Midgrad cheydenhall better

Beware those prying eyes. Always watching...

Несомненно)

The Ascendant Lord?

@@sacredpower7530 yeah

Unfortunately he turned into a volcano.

This should be top comment

Breton: Remember as You killed me and I came back as necromancer? xD Nord: No, I would remember it,... and by the way,... why, You are nb again? Breton: I used class change token to swap to necro, revived myself and then another token to swap back to nb. Nord: Class change token? Breton: Yeah, everyone got one free token. And I took one from that elven girl. Nord: Soo, that means i have one too? Breton: Not anymore.

He is master of the smalltalk.

Gerald Moment

Kratos moment

​@@ThatCatDiazboi

I prefer an Amazon Prime series

String together all the trailers and it is a movie.

@@rodrigolarramendy I prefer a Netflix series. Fuck Amazon and their stupid ads on every episode and their dumb inefficient app.

We deserve Elder Scrolls 6.

And the villain would be the nameless knight who beat them all

well it pretty much does

tbf it looks pretty good for an MMO especially one that released over 10 years ago

they don't make these cinematics, they hire an animation studio to make them.

as do most video game companys when they make movies and tv shows out of their games@@voidox

​@@voidox Elon musk didn't make all the teslas... He hired employees to make them

uh, okay? also that is not the same thing as musk has people working for his company, Zenimax are hiring an independent studio with a contract to make the trailer, this studio does work for other companies as well. @@minepacha6475

​@@voidoxthat much is clear, because compared to the cinematic, the games are always shit.

Yes, after Elsweyr all sucked.

⁠@@mehmetbekirbirden6858Necrom was good, had a fun story as well

They make more than enough money.

I agree id watch it❤😂

Or even better, the Breton and the Nord having a bickering romantic tension.

I really wanted them to be actual characters and not just stand-ins for the players

⁠@@woahhaow10yearsand41 even better than that, romantic tension between all three. they can be poly

Seeing how Bethesda stopped making new Elder Scrolls games, it wouldn't even be that surprising if it allowed some studio to make an animated series, just like this ESO MMO is made by a third party.

@@herrakaarmeThey Made Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and Starfield, they're working on ES6... What makes you think they stopped? Bethesda isn't like ubisoft or capcom that have multiple subsidiaries working on different projects simultaneously, bethesda game studios can only work on one game at a time.

@@TheDrsalvation Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. You do realise that between Skyrim and ES6, if it was released this year (which it won't), would already be a bigger gap than between Morrowind and Skyrim, even though there was the whole Oblivion between those two! When you live long enough, you start to see how things that are postponed awfully much often simply don't happen ever. Interviews heavily suggested Bethesda was tired of ES and wanted to do something else. The fact they had someone else make ESO speaks for the same thing. Sometimes taking a long break allows you to get back into the mood, sometimes it only helps you realise you are allowed to let it go.

@@herrakaarme "When you live long enough, you start to see how things that are postponed awfully much often simply don't happen ever." Well, you must've been born yesterday and think a lifetime means 5 years... Cyberpunk was announced in 2012, it released in 2020 - 8 years. Dead Island 2 was announced in 2014 and it released in 2023 - 9 years. Elder Scrolls 6 was announced in 2018. Only indie developers announce things and never release them, but these are AAA companies with funding. Also, have you ever considered that MAYBE bethesda had Zenimax ONLINE Studios to make ESO because zenimax ONLINE Studios have more knowledge in ONLINE games than Bethesda? Fallout 76 was Bethesda's first attempt at an online game and we saw how that went. Not just that, if Bethesda would make themselves make ESO, they'd have to fully commit to it, that means we wouldn't have gotten fallout 4 until this year, and just as people keep saying out of ignorance "Let this game (ESO) die already so we can get TES6" You can believe that bethesda is NOT working on TES6 all you want, you seem pretty convinced about it and I somehow doubt that even with the teaser they released I'm not going to convince you otherwise, but not just because you believe they're not working on it means they're not, lol. And as you said, yes, they may be burnt out from elder scrolls and wanted to work on something new, hence, Starfield. If they wanted a break from elder scrolls, they already got it.

I would definitely try eso if it was available in my country. Don't want to do all this vpn cr@p for mmo game

A fantastic mmo

​@@WylieWolfensteingame sucks and is dead lol. Time to let this die.

it's alright for an mmo

I get that they had to skip out on Necrom because they needed to advertise the Arcanist class but tbh they should've made either the Elf or the Nord become an Arcanist (logically the Elf, can't imagine the Nord becoming that) because the Breton switched classes to Necromancer already.

@@KellyLinda74 That is true, though that big Nord being an arcanist? Heck yes! That would of been cool, as it's hard to tell what class the Nord is honestly, only seen him using melee attacks, that I've seen anyways.

But it IS his fault clearly depicted in the video.

@@tektight The daedra already knew they were there. He attacked while they were distracted

The Breton really looked at him like, "Seriously?"

@@tektight Yeah but thats because the writer is racist to nords.

Yeah he only slightly touched it and it fell by itself

The final elsweyr cinematic trailer is a recreation of a scene from in-game, but I get what you mean

Very true, unfortunately.

Well, I mean, ESO trailers aren't like World of WarCraft's trailers. Whereas WoW cinematics further the story and lore, ESO cinematics are more of a showcase that shows off player abilities and overall context.

this is a 2014 game sir, no way that's happening lol. This game will remain looking like Skyrim until they launch another

The game is amazing

you did not just say in game story is dead lmao. the last expansion was probably one of the best yet. @@williamscott2580

​@@williamscott2580That sounds like major bs.

cause she looks boring

I’m excited though now I’m just realizing I’m getting kronika vibes. Other than that I’m excited to see her influence also if she has a banner I must add it to my collection.

looks isnt all there is @@liamlinson7563

because the novelty of a new daedric prince on its own isn't all that impressive additionally her minions are reskinned ice atronachs, reskinned Mantikora and generic daedric mooks don't have high hopes for this chapter lol

@@JohnnySkrimblo wth, bethesda couldn't even be bothered to model and animate new enemies?

We gotta wait 4-5 more btw

That's still nearly 200 years in the future. Though it does seem like with the jungle appearing in Cyrodiil, they're setting up for him to rid the province of the jungle. Perhaps his ascent to godhood involves the defeat of Ithalia.

​@@PsychicAlchemyIt was all jungle before, but Tiber Septim erased the jungle from Cyrodil in both the past, present, and future. (Which doesn't make too much sense when you think about it as that would cause a loophole in which Tiber Septim has no need to get rid of the jungle in Cyrodil, but eh.) However, it is, in all likelihood, that the very final ever expansion of ESO is going to involve Tiber Septim. Assuming they ever get to doing that.

​@@D3th10rd Most of CHIM based feats are never meant to make sense imo.

I want to change ember's hair so bad

I mean to be fair, Bethesda changes lore every time they introduce a new game. Good or otherwise Kinda like the constellation's being actual entities rather than holes in the sky or both

From my knowledge since the dragon break that happened in elsweyr time is distorted. So i must assume in a future dlc we must fix the timeline. This has happened a few times in lore and has conflicting stories such as the atmoran ships or even vivecs origin

The lore was added and not changed. You also don't know how's this going to end. Perhaps Mora manages to erase her once again as an explanation why there's no mention of her in other games.

​@@krzysztofczajka6752I think that's the most probable outcome. TES lore has always been kinda convoluted and uncertain so anything may be possible and still make sense. Tho i treat the game more as a fanfiction than anything else. I really think its easier to digest that way 😂 and it would not be a bad fanfic lore-wise either.

I mean this isn't changing the lore? This is just introducing new stuff. Frankly I'm glad Zenimax Online is allowed to do stuff like this for TES, I enjoy their worldbuilding far more than I do Bethesda after what they did with the Nords in Skyrim. Really hoping this new Daedric Prince is here to stay. Thanks to a Dragon-Break, or whatever happens here, it's quite possible that can send ripples forward through the timeline resulting in her showing up in a future mainline game, and that's entirely okay.

Yeah she sounds piiiiiissed lol

I think this "lady" is kind of a demon... I think she's that forgotten daedric prince Ithelia which was talked about in Necrom.

This is Ithelia. The forgotten Daedric Prince of Paths, Mistress of the Untraveled Road, Unseen, and Fate-Changer. She has the ability to alter or change destiny and fates to the point that it threaten reality itself. There a one fan theory, Ithelia has something to do with the countless heroes in the Elder Scrolls Universe such as the Eternal Champion, Hero of Kvatch etc.

That would be a cool theory :D@@assassinwolf2719

If I had a nickel for every time merhunes Dagon invaded Tamriel…I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice.

@@elliotbishop231 More than two, he attacked Mournhold in 1E 2920 for example.

They cycle through the crown store as costumes around certain events (Nord Hero Costume will appear around Greymoor or other Nord based events and the same for the others)

Yes, all 3 have.

The lack of fabric physics makes the Breton's outfit look real lame though

The Elven Hero and the Breton Hero armors are available as crown store items. I don't think the Nord Hero has one. Edit: I haven't seen the Nord Hero one, but it sounds like it exists. Probably haven't gotten far enough to see lol.

These are made by professionals, there's nothing inadvertent about it. They considered it.

@@DestinyCrafter Considering the quality of many major movies/games the past few years in particular, I feel like I'm not sure professionals can always be trusted to calculate everything

@@DestinyCrafterwhich makes it sad when you realize that professionals really tend to screw things up, they make bad business choices, it means they considered it, they make terrible movies, it means they considered it.

Princess?

@@blazemordly9746 Nah, in Elder Scrolls lore the Daedra are genderless. Ithelia appears in a feminine form, but she has no set gender. They could appear in male form if they wanted, show up as a dog, whatever. Daedric Prince is a gender neutral term for a Daedric deity.

Well, Tamriel was literally built for violence. Not even in a meta sense, struggling is the whole point...for reasons. At least according to a certain psychedelic-loving original writer from Bethesda

Again, when was cyrodil a jungle, it’s not one in oblivion

@@KelgorothTheFinalShape Something, something, Dragon Breaks.

except that's not a jungle. it's a temperate forest in autumn xD

The Gold Road starts in the Gold Coast and travels into West Weald so yes the Gold Road already exists because of the Gold Coast

There is still room for like 9 chapters without pulling a high isle or doing a zone in a different plane like necrom. And after that there would still be room for lots of smaller dlc

Bruh Zenimax has nothing to do with TES6, 2024 and people still don't know a simple basic fact like this

why would they stop? it's a better elder scrolls game at this point than the other elder scroll games

Ну, тут скорее вероятна новая ветка навыков. Классы каждый год не штампуют.

Spellcrafting

Considering we just got a new class last expansion I doubt it. I'd rather see something bigger like being able to swap classes on the same character(Out of combat obviously).

Thats only in ff14 lol

@@Danlight1911spears would be great

each one is supposed to symbolize an alliance in the game. the use of these cinematic trailers is to metaphorically say we're getting new content

She 100% was - in the Chapter reveal we saw the same exact monsters into which Tho'at transforms: the Glass Atronachs and Glass Manticoras + one of the bosses shown for the dungeon DLC was literally the same a Tho'at's base form.

It would certainly fit with Tiber Septim's story, anyway.

That's Ithelia herself chief. Not a possessed body.

@@Ae7heriumwho?

@@KelgorothTheFinalShape Forgotten Daedric Prince of Untraveled Paths.

@@Ae7herium how many forgotten princes are there?

@@timthewarlord2304 Oblivion is infinite. In theory there's an untold number of Daedric Princes. They just don't give a shit about mortal affairs. Dagon himself battled and defeated some unnamed Prince, leaving only his realm of Deadlight behind.

Who?

@@KelgorothTheFinalShape UESP : Ithelia, known as the Prince of Paths, the Mistress of the Untraveled Road, the Unseen, the Fate-Changer is the Daedric Prince of Paths. She supposedly had the ability to shape destiny, alter fate and rearrange its strands to her whims. Considering this power a threat to reality, Hermaeus Mora erased the memory of the Prince from existence in order to preserve reality.[ Ithelia left behind her loyal servant, Torvesard, as a contingency plan in her absence. As of 2E 582 she was mostly forgotten and unknown by the academic community. Ithelia's realm is Mirrormoor

Nah it was revealed on the twitch stream. The RU-vid stream is like several minutes behind

@@brandonhimes9791ah gotcha, that makes sense!
