I don't really see the inconsistency between oblivion and skyrim for the night mother. The nightmother in oblivion appears as a ghost in her tomb where there is clearly a resting place for her body. You then go back to the statue every week to listen to her. In skyrim its mentioned her tomb was breached and that they managed to take out her body. It's still the same nightmother but just in a different location and I don't see much of a difference between her talking through her corpse as the medium or as a spirit. Regardless she is still talking into the mind of the listener so it shouldn't matter how the listener thinks she's talking to them.

Skyrim and arena are 245 years apart arena was 3E 389 oblvion was the 3rd eras last year 3E 433 A 44 year gap and skyrim starts in 4E 201

There is no retcons in Elder Scrolls, only perspectives and beliefs.

25:08 I'm sorry, that All-WHAAAT?!? 😂😂

Calipers!

Thought I was having a stroke, but no. This dude just randomly speeds up in the middle of a sentence and jumbles half of it together.

I think fhe hulking draugr from Dragonborn are meant to represent the damned undead draugr from Bloodmoon, since they have the brown skin and skeleton necklaces on leather armor, probably pointing at their cannibalistic ways.

Real explanation ? the game developers couldn’t make a game that complex

17:07 I mean that's because morthal isn't real and can't hurt you

It's pronounced Thoom not Thoo oom.

More anti orcimer revisionist history by THE ELVES!!!!

Apparently the design of Cyrodil was massively revamped from its sort of Japanese-Imperialist jungles to generic medieval fantasy as a result of The Lord Of the RIngs films. I wonder if they made Fast travel to cities a default option as a result of the lacking visuals, and having reduced the scope of radiant ai, making the roads all the less interesting to playtesters

In regards to Skyrim, and The Tongues, you could argue that it is represented by the Greybeards, except Master Arngeir. They never speak, save for speaking in Thu'um, and when they do, their speech is followed by rumbling, even though they whisper everything.

The jungles of Cyrodiil were erased across time (as always) by Talos, using CHIM.

Lies!!!!

Could the lizard men be early renditions of the Tsaesci?

Roriksted isn't a problem. The song Ragnar the Red makes mention of an "Old Roriksted" so presumably the one to the west of Whiterun is New Roriksted, but it's been long enough that nobody calls it that. This implies that Old Roriksted was abandoned or destroyed quite a while before Skyrim takes place.

Starfield is basically Space elder scrolls

You didn't say if immortal blood was changed for Skyrim. Which I never really read too many of the books in the games, but I would assume they have intentionally unreliable narrators. You gotta imagine the in-game writer was in a dangerous situation while researching these vampires, and a lot of his information could've even been pulled from locals who don't exactly know everything, he could also be worried about selling his book and would exaggerate. While books like The Windhelm Letters are between two people that probably didn't intend for their letters to be published or fiction

That should have been a dlc story but it’s Bethesda so what do you expect. I suppose they will re release this game before releasing something new

"we don't see silent and gagged people in skyrim that cant talk to cause damage and communicate in ruins" bitch did you even PLAY skyrim?!

Technically maiq is a magne g so he shouldnt count any more than a daedric prince, and vivec acheived CHIM so kinda the same idea

I mean there’s literally a vampire lord living over the hill

The original Volkihar lore sounds pretty cool. Definitely makes them feel more attuned to the Nordic climate. I think that would’ve really made them feel more distinct in dawnguard.

I tried getting into elder scrolls lore but most of it is just people trying to somehow explain and justify decisions that were obviously made for game design reasons only. It doesn't have much substance

I am a card-carrying Elder Scrolls enjoyer, but sometimes I swear the deeper lore of this franchise was dreamt up by someone having a fever dream

To be fair, villages and settlements can be destroyed and rebuilt, and a good, defensible or farmable location is likely to remain one.

Oblivion and skyrim really toned back on the magic and mysticism that seemed pretty central to the essence of TES in the earlier versions of the lore.

The Morag Tong/Dark Brotherhood inconsistency is actually handled in game as historians not have enough actual sources and being mistaken by the sources that they do have

God I love Skyrim

I'm surprised you didn't include how Skyrim retconned the landscape and hostility of Skyrim and how the only area in the province with viable farmland is falkrrath, which coincidentally has the only way in and out of Skyrim through a narrow corridor, used for imports and exports of goods. Nordic warriors would also cut the tongues off their enemies and tie them like belts, and the tongues could hold speech-like-enchantments. The imperial city was also supposed to take up the entire isle, not just small parts. It was called "the city of a thousand cults" for a reason. Also the city of Sutch

The retcon to dragons made them Wyrms and not Dragons

Tbh, the Dragon Cult and it's ruins is such a cool concept to me that I accept their sudden appearance. Same for the Thu'um retcon

Don’t forget time travels a thing in this universe

On Rorik's stead being included in a book of old towns, check out Cambyrian Chronicles and all his talk about Welsh place names. There was a prolific liar/fraudster in Welsh history (c. 1800s) that just invented evidence for Welsh history. Lots of stuff was like that where he would take place names (modern ones) and then ascribe ancient stuff to them, like a site called the "Irish stones" would then become the site where an Irish invasion (~300-600AD) was crushed by a Welsh king. But then with modern techniques they would realise the stones were actually from the 1600AD or something. Also when it says that a dragon was buried in the mound west of Rorikstead it is possible that this is a reprint/updated version of that book. Honestly with this one I don't know, just spitballing.

Fingers crossed that Bethesda will add more in the way of radient quests that involved translating runes, scrolls, and ancient languages on walls in shrines and dungeons for power spells and artifacts. It would also be cool to make more radient quests where you can make pacts with daera that are not related to actual daedric quest. In a sense dealing with more minor daedra such as a Hunger lord or a scamp king not as summons but more as spell crafters and shops.

Snowhawk mod

In Oblivion when you complete the Dark Brotherhood questline, you are able to send assassins to cities throughout Tamriel. I believe one such location was to send an assassin to Snowhawk in Skyrim, but I could be mistaken. The town in question was not an actual city at the time you could send them.

Arena was the first game before they had a consistent lore built lol like argonians and khajit are humans in that game, a lot of what was established in arena was changed and refined since then. Its like when people watch the original star wars and point out inconsistencies that was created by later star wars shows/movies/comics

what's wrong with audio? Sounds sped-up at times. Is it something on my end?

One important thing to keep in mind is that just because the lore in question comes from a fantasy setting doesn't mean it's all necessarily meant to be true at any given time. Legends and myths and embellishments can exist even in fictional settings, especially if written by foreign sources (e.g. Imperial scribes writing about provincial folklore based on hearsay and interpretation through their own cultural filters), just like in real life.

Hello, the Skyrim was Extremly 3D and the Graphic were Super, Freshenet and Very Real Game 2010 the Specialedition haded 16 Gb Perhaps. This Seems Like through an Emulator. Lg Sven Balzer

200+ years can change a lot you know

Well like dragons could still exist, partnonax lived why couldn’t others?

There needs to be a mod to put it back. {:o:O:}

These short Skyrim videos are usually trash. Like "10 things you don't know about Skyrim. Number one, the developer who made the skull asset has 3 children, one of them is adopted." kind of random stupidity. But this was actually pretty damn cool.
