All of Elder Scrolls is a chaotic mess. Everything and nothing is canon. Knowing about the meta of the universe can either cause you to cease existing entirely or turn you into a God with your own project elsewhere to work on.
You do Skyrim content but do raid ads? How could you…
Love the content but really, raid? A channel with 1.15 mil and youre STILL promoting raid? And nearly 2 minutes long ad at that. Your raid validates my adblocker
Scott should just make a YT video where he just whispers sweet nothings. 😊 it might even be the most played video on YT
Yes mr fudge get that raid shadow legend coin
57:04 – tuning blow, not turning. That's a significant difference with one of Kagrenac's tools.
"had to stuff her mouth with his milkfinger" 🤨
Love this series!!
As soon as I saw the Totemic Nord mod release, I knew there'd be a video on here at some point.
Elves are more intelligent than humans. Skyrim may belong to the nords, but shjould it? Talos worship is too similar to Christianity, and that alone gives me zero hope for the humans defending the Nords (humans)on planet earth.
I like to think that the Nords used to be a lot more "otherworldly" and powerful than what we see in TES 4 and 5, but lost most of their primal nature and elemental powers either due to becoming Imperialized, leaving behind the Old Ways and adopting a syncretic version of their own religion instead, or because all the mortals on Tamriel are slowly losing their divine connection, generation by generation, with Aedra-worshiping humans being hit the hardest due to a combination of their short lifespans and absent gods.
As has been pointed out before on this very channel, it's odd that even the militantly traditionalistic Stormcloaks aren't even fighting for their right to worship any of their traditional gods like Shor, but the ascended historical figure who represents the very Empire the Stormcloaks are rebelling against. This could be seen as a contradiction or a retcon (and let's be real, it probably is), but it's not completely incompatible with the lore. Talos does, after all, represent the indominable spirit of humanity and proves that humans are not spiritually inferior, severed from divinity forever, as the elves like to claim. If nothing else, it makes for a good story to rally behind, and isn't that what the Nords are all about?
It would also add a deeper tragic element to the Civil War – even the rebels are aware that there is nothing for the Nords to truly return to, because the real cultural genocide is already done. The Old Ways have been all but forgotten, and there's barely anyone left who would give their life fighting for Shor or Kyne or Stuhn. So all that's left to fight for is the memory of an Empire that was destroyed during the Oblivion Crisis, that the Nords had only ever had a reluctant connection with, and that still managed to take their cultural identity from them. It's like a toxic mix of nostalgia and Stockholm Syndrome.
Don`t wanna sound like a broken record, but having a way to be exposed to this lore in an easy way while playing would be so, SO incredible.
Imagine making a mod where Scott voices an NPC like Vilkas, who is supposed to be a scholar and know the nordic traditions.
He would be the npc with most dialogue, teach you about Ysgramor, the companions, the war paints, the voice, the old gods, the ambiguity.
It'd let us love the companions, understand our role as dragonborn and fix a bit of how Skyrim's lore was left behind.
Maybe just revoicing him wouldn't be too hard. Maybe a mod author like Jay would be willing to help, and it would also push the channel towards modders that don`t know about it.
Thanks again for another amaazing video, guys!
Lore nords are so fucking badass, a shame in skyrim they're barely capable of winning the civil war
Wuuthrad is an axe with an Elf wojack
stranger than lyl and langs aborted kids?
It’s also a much worse game than you think.
I feel like the name Nord for the people of Atmora was a name given to them by the snow elves, kinda like Viking wasn't the name of the people of Scandinavia but the name for the action of raiding, so maybe the name Nord could have meant, people from afar, tide tamers, or maybe ice breakers
No, is not… its a Game of Throne game gane wrong and turned into a Elder Scroll.
I hope ES6 isnt disappointing, you guys make such great videos it would be a shame if the game becomes the next victim of modern gaming
Whoever remodeled the building is very talented.
Your mom is weirder than you think…
the coke whales are my new favorite lol
Cope nord propaganda, tiber septim was a BRETON and did NOT achieve CHIM!!
this came up in my recs and understood not a single word for the first minute and a half so I guess this video is not for me
Yall doing a redlboot of the lore series?
Then again the 500 companions could've been thousands but 500 is snappier and cooler
What kind of boob mods do you use?
Baldurs Gate 3 have been out for 5 months, and you are still playing this shit game? Skyrim was only the best rpg from 2012-2015, before that Dragon Age Origins, from 2016-2022 Witcher 3 + dlc's, currently Baldurs Gate 3 has dethroned all other rpgs.
*Snorts cokain * "You know what would be cool, man? Gigantic flying wales that, when the breath, the spew forth coke."
That's how I imagine it went down at Bethesda when they came up with the Sky-Wales.
All adds
Leaving comments improves engagement for the channel.
Oh, hell yes.
The weird side of the Nords that TESV: Skyrim never explored.
Wulfharth, his Tongues, and Shor, all their exploits, the stuff of legends.
Ysmir would be ashamed of what the Nords have become in the 4th Era. Not because they serve the Empire, no. But because they’ve betrayed those they swore to fight with, in the end.
Season Unending will end with Wulfharth’s reincarnation siding with the Dragon of the South.
If it was cocaine those whales dropped, they would hunt those whales into extinction, no wonder you can't see them today
You have to tell me what mod gives you that badass Nord armor with wooden shoulder guards and that sweet axe on his back…anyone know where to get it?
If only developers had the balls to be as unique as writers.
I cant wait for next season content for elder scrolls. Ngl been hiberating on your channel getting my life in place
I use to watch this channel all the time back in year 7 (2017). I just recently got back into skyrim and remembered your guys content and have been binge watching like crazy and listening to the podcast at work. Awesome to see yall still making videos, carried my childhood fr
You know, I think I never even considered this as the origin of the Nord.
I guess in my head, they were Atmorans, who then were turned into Nords by Kyne, and that way they began to differ from just Atmorans into Nords and Giants.
Or maybe it's something different. As I wrote this I had a thought: maybe the Atmorans as a people were vastly different in appearance from the more "uniform" Nords, and, in a way, more similar to the Khajiit? Maybe they were more like the "Giants" from norse mythology or how the Jötunar were depicted in God of War: a single people, but with vastly differing physiological characteristics, with individuals reaching heights from about 6-7 feet/1,80-2,10 m to as tall as a mountain.

I wanna see a mod list for this video. You got the game looking almost playable.
13 minutes in and I haven't heard anything weird about Skyrim?
