won't lie, i almost fell asleep to his voice, if he ever considered doing something besides voice acting, reading stories to fall asleep with or ASMR would be the next best thing
He kinda does. Godhood gave him a very fatalistic philosophy, and for good reason, because he's been made aware that everything is merely a dream. That being said, he also kinda deserved it since he killed Nerevar, but still, he's the nicest of the Tribunal, so I can understand feeling bad for him.
Sotha Sil is my favorite of the Tribunal. I feel like he has the most interesting things to say and his way of speaking is Very poetic. I also notice hes sort of more humble than Vivec or Amalexia- as he just looks like a really nerdy Dunmer while the other two actually look like gods. I love him :)
I want to like him and ESO did a marvelous job of making him a mysterious but somehow relatable god. However, it was he who worked to discover how the tools of Kagrenac worked and he who persuaded AM and Vivec to use them which led to the murder of my beloved Nerevar. I can never forgive them, but mostly Seht.
@@crandleberrysadiea complicated character for sure, he likely has some regret, or did not consider the others would have to murder Nerevar to access the heart.
@@Halthioroh I been planning to start the new expansion. This makes me want to jump right in. I heard Naryu is in it as well. He and Naryu are some of my favorite characters.
@@thenigeriancandidate sotha sil decided to accept Azura's curse in order to stand side by side with his people. Almalexia retained her Chimer appearance and vivec went half and half approach.
Never forget that out of all of the Tribunal, Sotha Sil was the only one who could be considered the closest to benevolent. Also, that he casually pwned Nocturnal like it was just another Monday.
Not true. Bivec wanted its people out of the simulation known as mundus. He understood what st veloth had in mind. But wanted to move bwyond daedra worship to dunmer being like vivec or talos.
@@quattro4468 Vivec means well, but I don't see him as a hero, only as a king who did his best to protect his kingdom. I don't really see him as unique, he can be vain and have an ego like any mortal king. He has his regrets. But Sotha Sil doesn't care about ruling. He doesn't care about being worshipped. And he doesn't put himself on a pedestal. He is pure, he only wishes to help the people of Tamriel. He only wishes to serve, even though it is a form of enslavement, as he describes. He sacrifices for the good of others. Sotha Sil is a selfless hero. Almalexia is narcissistic and only rules for her own sake. Vivec is somewhere in the middle. Which is appropriate for the hermaphrodite god. I think that was intentional.
Ironically, Vivec used to be the most benevolent, as he tried to solve every problem the Dunmer had. Until he achieved CHIM and realized what he was doing was depriving the Dunmer of their own chance to escape the wheel. Nirn is created as a arena of trails to overcome, but if some all-mighty God is solving all your problems, you don't have to overcome adversity and improve yourself. By solving every problem and cleaning the way for the Dumber, he was unintentionally causing their entire civilization to stagnate and grow weaker. So he stopped helping as much as he did so the Dunmer would have a chance to grow and improve for themselves, even if it meant leaving them to die in the direst of circumstances. Only ever acting when the odds were impossible to overcome by mortal means. That said, Sotha Sil really is my favorite too. There is something about how he is so grounded and does not let his divinity define him. Its a part of him, not the other way around like with Vivec and Almalexia who let their status define them.
One could argue that he is not fully dead. His legacy, the Clockwork City, lives on. In the Elder Scrolls Legends, it is revealed that the city still exists by the time of Skyrim, albeit in a low-power state. Before his death, Sotha Sil set his machines to begin creating a second, artificial heart of Lorkhan. Upon its completion, it could be used to power the city indefinitely. The City might be fully operational by the time of TES 6. We don't know for sure. I hope we get to hear something about the city in that game.
(sorry for how late this reply is) Ironically, sotha sil is the least likely of the tribunal to achiece chim since it requires a huge ego, they need to realize they dont exist, but believe they exist anyway, which wouldnt be too easy with how much sotha sil just sort of goes along with fate
@@zerogbot23 He's more of rejecting the offering and CHIM all while not denying his self enough to the point of zero-summing, hence his Clockwork City constructs is planned for the hope for more of current Kalpas of Tamriel to survive another Kalpa resets Meanwhile, Vivec doesn't fully mastered CHIM enough, much like most of Daedric and Aedric pantheons that have some of them achieved CHIM as a mortal but on panic, chooses to became the next cycle's et'ada spirits to not completely remove their being (exhibit A with Molag Bal and possibly Peryite as previous Akatosh-like figure), then back to Vivec's lack of full control over CHIM makes him still going on the long journey, unlike Talos which under three person, able to became a deified entity trying to hold Tamriel and Mundus from break apart to allows more mortals to explores their candidacy into the next CHIM users, then hopefully able to fully controlled CHIM then becoming the next Amaranth/Dreamer (as in having wholly escapes the entire dreams of Aurbis and it's duality of self-inflicted cycles)
Its a far cry from the original sotha sil, the explorer of things forbidden, to the "puzzle box logician" that vivec in his sermons used to mock certitude.
