I love Sotha Sil, he’s probably my favorite of the 3. He’s so humble, even when you ask him if he’s a god he’s like, not really lol. He’s so tired of seeing all his friends bicker and fight. Very sad

To the meat grinder you go 😊

"Friend to a fallen King..." MOTHUHFUKUH u KILLED that King!!!

hes perfect

I didn't feel bad at all when I ganked Almalexia, or even when I crammed Goldbrand between Vivec's ribs. But Sotha Sil? I couldn't help but feel a bit bad for him.

So he's a determinist

Sotha Sil: There is nothing to be done to change our nature Paarthurnaxx: What is better, to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort.

Sotha Sil…my favorite out of the tribunal. He's so somber in this conversation and I love that he has a dlc of his own as well as some in Summerset isles. I always play this dlc whenever I make a new toon and just as excited.

He's talking, HE'S TALKING!!!

He’s just as much as a manipulative bastard as the rest, false Gods or real Gods can kiss my ass

i love the prisoner conversation it feels like when you talk to an ai about its existence

I think people underestimate what bro is saying. It’s literally is so philosophical, it gave me an existential crisis.

He just exudes wisdom out of every pore.

the only member of the tribunal I can stand, I always go straight to Vivec and beat him senseless after being forced to kill voryn in morrowind, next stop is almalexia in mournhold

2:46 so vivec just does whatever the fuck he wants to do.

The most wholesome dialogue in the game.

Alamalexia was a wife of Nerevar. A terrible betrayer sowing lies and feeling no true regret and all she wanted was for everyone to worship her. Be kind only for people to praise her. Sowing lies of who she is to the point of believing it herself and most likely this "kind and merciful" persona she believed herself to be eventually broke her mind as she was in reality a terrible person caring only for their own image. Two sides killing each other until only thing left is a raging beast killing everyone else that they see. Vivec a prostitute, a thug, an abused child. All of it, but in the end a person who was given the chance to be something greater alongside Nerevar who took him as his own. A close friend who in the end was too infatuated with the promise of being something greater that he killed his own friend who got him to this point in the first place. His regret he pours into his writings, he makes himself to be a poet to lie to others and himself, to run away from regret, always making excuses, trying his hardest to never be that pathetic Chimer he was at the beginning, but no matter how many times he will rewrite the reality both figuratively and literally he will always be Vivec, son of a Nechian who betrayed the person that was willing to give him a chance. But is someone who would never be able to make any other choice. Sotha Sil is the only one to truly regret. Either because of the weight of the betrayal weighing on him through thousands of years or because of how futile it was at the end. Trying to be greater, save his people, but as a God realizing he could never do so to the extent he believed he could. He killed his friend for nothing. Betrayed Nerevar only to be trapped in another cage. Sil is most likely the only one who if they had a choice would not kill Nerevar, but this decision is not up to him when Vivec and Almalexia are against him. Who is he to deprive them of their joy? Alone. Sil is a person running away into his mechanisms and inventions, taking his mind away from guilt, trying to make something out of the terrible deed that he did, but at the end he knows. It was all for nothing. Greatest regret of all his lives both mortal and godly was a mistake that gave him nothing, but despair. A mistake he can never make right.

The Tribunal are False Gods.

i will let sotha sil live out of the 3 tribunal in my morrowind gameplay if its possible

His quote about "I am a mirror" is a little analogy in my opinion. The way he talks about making people upset whether he does too much or too little. No matter what direction he takes, people are unhappy with him. Kind of like brainless Elder Scolls fans who agree that Bethesda sucks because "the game isn't polished" at the same time "the game doesn't allow for role-play freedom." Completely ignoring the fact that most of their ideas would be contradictory when they go to put them into code.

What’s the song playing in the background called?

How did this one never achieve Chim?

Sotha Sil speaks like a character in a Legacy of Kain game

i thought this dude was dead

False god.

Eso is non canon

God-tier writing. Hope we meet Sotha Sil again someday in ESO

Say whatever you want about Kirkbride but the joy I feel reading between the lines and realising what he is "truly" saying is worth spending half a year researching Morrowind lore)

When I answered yes to his question he said “then I pity you” When a god like being expresses sympathy it hits harder than one would expect

Wish I could've gotten into ESO. Alas, MMO's are something my life doesn't have room for anymore. I can't really do them casually. Have to stick with the single player TES games, where you can save and come back later ;)

Мошенник ты, Сота, и убийца своего друга.

Often come back to this video because even tough Vehk is the 'poet' Seth speaks in such a clear and consice way. My favourite part is when he says Almalexia is a crazy ass bitch who believes her own lies but he makes it sound so much cooler

I wish ESO was simply a better game because theres stuff like this which is really cool but its behind a pay wall and a ton of grinding

The Part where he describes CHIM and the Part with the Prisoner… just perfect.

ESO isn't cannon cause if it is oh boy does that make a bunch of shit retroactively dog shit

Wondered if I’d ever have the pleasure of meeting him

I love the way he speaks. This dialogue is so well-written.

Haven't played ESO but I like that they have him interactable in this. The Tribunal were described as "living" gods so when you find him in Morrowind it gave a feeling as if you had killed an essential npc at some point in the questline even though you hadn't

'each stone and flower tells a story' (not really haha. Instead, I will man-splain everything until you die of boredom)

After replaying Morrowind it was heartbreaking to see his body broken and dead with Almalexia next to it. I suppose he knew his fate from the start.

His actual final dialogue was "Oh hello Almalexia, how have you be-" Sotha Sil seems to be talking about being a prisoner as some sort of advanced Chim, where acknowledging yourself as a pawn in the world isn't enough, but realizing that there's a door in which the prisoner can escape(Logging out)

I wonder if younger players understand how mythical and mysterious these characters felt back in TES3? It's almost a privilege being able to see them in person and even have all these dialogues. Meeting Vivec for the first time in Morrowind at the very end of main storyline and exchanging few lines of lore with him was majestic. Like witnessing something legendary. And Sotha Sil was the most mysterious of them all since players never actually had the chance of meeting him...

3:47 resonates with me

4:15 Vivec is just like me, whenever I play The Elder Scrolls games.

I can't respect Vivec, and Almalexia fell from grace as her power faded (Becoming quite tyranical in Morrowind: Tribunal). But Sotha Sil... I can respect him, I see valor in the words he speaks, agree with them and admire him for it. When there is humility in someone in a position of godhood (In his case, literally), while still being bound by a necessity to protect those in need, not for you own image, but because it is what you believe to be righteous. I'm sorry for the way things ended for Sotha Sil.

My man here sounds like a Jygalagg follower.

Dagoth Ur did nothing wrong.

Shoutout to the Horse at 2:42 that couldn’t stfu til the video was over. 😱

Murderer

I really like the "prisoner" metaphore, it can also assumed to be a kind of summary of the entire elder scrolls series
