    Dealing with Vile is a lot like classical stories of genies/djin, where the protagonists always make the same mistake:

    I feel like the original spirit that formed Clavicus Vile and Barbus really honed in on the fun of Anu and Padomay's relationship and recreated it in another micro-macrocosm model of the forces of stasis and chaos at eternal play, but uniquely among "Daedra" all within it's own being, for the purpose of capturing that endless drama and excitement. Making them kinda more relatable to Lorkhan and mortals.

    I remember reading somewhere that Clavicus is the youngest of the daedric princes and as the prince of power and wishes he would have become the most powerful of them, so the other daedric princes devised a plan to divest him of half his power by tricking him into investing that power into another being. They presented him a loyal hound as a gift, and when Clavicus bestowed him with the name Barbas, Vile also unwittingly bestowed half of his power on his new companion.

    Vile was the first Daedric quest I ever did in Skyrim. . .also a wake up call these beings are not to be fully trusted. . .or bargained with. I think the only reason the Princes didn't find ways to completely screw over the Dragonborn is because they find him/her 'entertaining'.

      Probably the reason why Vile refrains from screwing the Dragonborn is because he too doesn't want to lose his chance to... bind the Dragonborn... to make them owe Him in some way... Just like all the other Daedras are doing.

      After my past couple of play through I came to this conclusion-
      *Azura, Malacth, Vile, Sheogorath and Sanguine let the DB go on his/her merry way without any conditions or demands of being a servant.*
      The rest of the Princes - "The Last Dragonborn serves me now!"
      Mora(Dragonborn DLC) - "The Last Dragonborn is my slave now!"
      Wouldn't be surprised if there are a book or two in the next TES(provided it takes place after Skyrim) that talk about a war among the Princes and who got to control the Last Dragonborn.

      @@chadharger9323 i’d also argue that the rest of the daedric princes that you have quests for have a bit of a split, with Meridia being an obvious outlier, due to the interesting position she holds among the daedra anyway. I mean, you can tell her you’re not going to spread her religion and she doesn’t care - she simply wants you to cleanse the world of the undead whilst you’re alive. something you are probably doing somewhat ANYWAY. her conditions for taking her artefact are minimal - fight the undead whilst you’re alive with this sword that’s rather good at doing that specific task. and she bestows that sword upon you for clearing her temple of necromancy. she still expects you to do stuff for her, yes, but it’s relatively standard for you. Nocturnal is also interesting - what she expects is for you to fix Mercer’s mess, and then protect the Twilight Sepulchre, including after you die, but it doesn’t seem like that is necessarily an infinite amount of time. In return, you get some pretty nice armour and a cool looking sword and bow, along with a power you can use once a day (that’s a pretty sweet deal, even if she does say that the deal is weighted in her favour to Karliah - you do get a fair amount from Nocturnal in return for service). Whilst obviously it is still a deal that includes service to her, it’s notably less favourable towards her when compared to other daedric princes and the deals they strike.

    The juxtaposition of Clavicus vile with Mara (2 to 1 vs. 1 to 2) kind of makes it sound like Vile is Daedric Prince of Divorce.

  • @HanyaPanya444
    @HanyaPanya444 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I remember seeing a theory somewhere that clavicles vile while being a Daedra regretted not partaking in the creation of Mundus. This might be due to the fact he can play with the creations as much or the fact the aedra usually get the attention and praise from mortals. His realm is called the "fields of regrets" not only due to the regret of the people being there but also it being his regrets, it being one of the most similar planes to mundus in atmosphere and culture could be his attempt to make his own version of it to satisfy that need.

    I have a personal theory that if tamriel were to enter the next kalpa cycle, Vile would be one of the main forces to reverse or delay it due to the fact he wouldn't want to loose the current mortal realm. That and it would fit his domain, Subverting the enviable for personal gain and maintaining his hold (and fun) in the spheres of mortals. But this isn't fully thought out, just a thought I had while reading lore throughout the games.

    With Daedric princes having dual natures, one they proclaim and one that is a more subtle and underlying trait. After some thought, I think Vaermina's goal is to circumvent to process of life and death. Whereas Molag Bal is doing it in spite of Arkay, Vaermina does it in envy.
    •Vaermina's followers use the miasma which has the effect to slow aging
    • If all you do is sleep, you are less likely to engage in activities that might kill you (as anything could kill you)
    • Thinking of what fear is, it is a primal response avoid danger. You are afraid of things that would ultimately kill you. She wants to scare you OF death
    • She works in the dream realm similar to the concept of and in envy of the dreamsleeve
    If she can keep you alive and incapacitated, she circumvents both life and death, providing her own supplement for reality sacrificed for her having ultimate control. She is greed, she wants everything to herself, but she is willing to give the benefits of her realm to persuade those to leave behind what they had. The only time she can't have you is when you die, it takes someone alive to sleep.
    She is like Hermeous Mora, she doesn't explicitly care to rule, just hoarding everything to herself. She is greed. Greedy people lie, cheat, and steal. She lies about reality, she cheats the process of life and death, and she steals memories and dreams. If you don't worship, her she scares you about things you don't want to happen to you in the real world. If you do worship her, you live as a God, she becomes the God head and you control the dream.

    • @chadharger9323
      @chadharger9323 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think what Mora wants is to absorb all and not just knowledge. It wants the secret of the Dragonborn's soul absorption. Imagine the ability to absorb more than just dragons souls. Becoming true living Soul Stone. Animals, monsters, intelligent mortal races. Perhaps even the Princes and even the Divines. Mora is gluttony personified and if ever unlocked the power of the Dragonborn then who would be safe?

    Clavicus Vile's gifts often come with an enormous price, so could Vile's gift to the Cyrodiil Vampyrum Order be too good to be true?
    Could the Vile's teachings to the Order lead to the doom of Cyrodiil's vampires - traditionally the servants of rival prince Molag Bal? Using Vile's gifts, the Order was able to wipe out all rivals in the province. However, the last clan of vampires in Cyrodiil is on shaking grounds as their power and safety depends on a declining empire.

    It is obvious that Clavicus Vile has no respect for ethics, he knows exactly what his 'clients' want and yet he purposefuly always try to thwart it. He's a bad actor : always one with the malevolent intent against others, if not now then eventually. And he has established reputation for this too: that you can not expect that he'll play nice nor fair with you. It's sane thing to do to refuse to deal with him, just shun him, ignore him.
    So WTH do all these people still want to deal with him?
    I guess what is most fascinating about Clavicus Vile is not Clavicus Vile himself, but his... clientele: their foolishness, or their arrogance, or their desperation, their lust and desires, their frustrations, their dreams... etc. No matter how treacherous making a deal with Vile would be, people will still want to take their chances.
    If there's one Daedra with strongest argument that mortals are so Fccked... Clavicus Vile is the one.
    As most losers say in the beginning: "It's different this time guys! It will work, I know it will."

    I'm just glad I made it into this video, thanks for not forgetting about me. Also you brought up a good point about Barbas in being that he's usually the more responsible one and "the voice of reason" between the two. That's why I found his role in the Vvardenfell so odd. It seemed like he was doing it just to make his master happy to win favor with him. Usually when we encounter Barbas he's actively trying to discourage us from giving into Vile's whims, and giving him the artifact he desires, in order to protect him from himself. I dunno it just kinda seemed out of character to me.

    Dear Fudgemuppet, I've been trying forever to find a playlist, podcast or anything the COMPLETE timeline and history of the Elder Scrolls lore. Basically their big bang theory. How the Aedra and Daedra and Nirn we're created, the complete timeline and history of Tampriel and all the races thereof same with the other continents such as Akivir and Atmora and whatnot. PLEASE look into this I beg of you.

    Eh, it is funny when people freak out about Clavicus Vile, if you know the prince's sphere it becomes easier to figure out their true intentions.
    Clavicus Vile is the Daedric Prince of Trickery and Pacts, do not come to him if you are unaware of how deals work. Deals always work by the letter and require people to be specific about what they want.
    Example:
    My Wish: "Clavicus Vile, I want you to end world hunger."
    Clavicus Vile's Response: "Granted, you will be enlarged and served to the world for every meal. No more world hunger." or "Granted, everyone will be killed in about 10 seconds. No more world hunger."
    Problem: The request only covered the "what" aspect of what you intend to be accomplished. That gives him many options to fulfill your wish. I couldn't cover all the possibilities of everything he could come up with and that is a problem.
    Example:
    Player's Wish: "Lord Vile, I have a request of you. An end to the civil war that plagues my land." or "Lord Vile, I have a request of you. The power to crush all before me!"
    Clavicus Vile's Loophole: "Now, as for your wish... An end to the war, was it? I'll make sure this war ends, all right. Just as soon as the dragons swarm across Skyrim and wipe out all of you puny..." or "Now, as for your wish... Power, was it? You can be part of a tremendous power - all you have to do is let your soul be absorbed by this axe. I never said it would be your power..."
    Problem: Like the first one, you just defined what you wanted but, left out how and when.
    Solution: When you make a deal with anyone, who, what, where, why, when, and how should always be answered in the contract. Clavicus Vile just takes advantage of an individual's lack of clarity and most loopholes are due to a lack of clarification or missed details in contracts. Clavicus Vile ends up keeping his word believe it or not. Contracts focus on what is agreed on at the time, not what one party intended to mean, but didn't. Generalization spells disaster.

    I have a theory about Umbra. The sword contains millions of souls & if Clavicus Vile claims it back and wields it, the souls in the sword infuse into Clavicus Vile rendering Umbra useless and making him very overpowered just like Jyggalag. The Daedric of Domination Molag Bal would be drawn to him for he will hear and see all the slain souls within Clavicus, if they both fight & Molag wins he will harvest both Clavicus & the souls for he is called The Havester of Souls which in turn would give Molag Bal a great motivation to try and created a 2nd Planemeld. So Clavicus would have to hide Umbra in his realm but never use it nor offer it to his Champion in Tamriel, because his Champion might deliver Umbra to Molag Bal himself.
    Comment below if you agree or disagree.

    Okay...okay, hear me out FudgeMuppet. What if, as you have stated and speculated, since nobility have a habit of making deal with Clavicus Vile...What if the Emperor from Skyrim, Titus Mede II, made a deal with Clavicus? What if his death was the cost? What if he approached Clavicus and offered his soul in exchange for something precious to the Empire? Such as...securing the throne against the Elves in a way that they wouldn't be able to suspect, or fight against? What if...he not only martyred himself, but set up affairs in such a way that he himself knew would never be seen as an option to the Elves?

    My fan theory, the child god is the youngest god, born from the first deal, to make nurn. So he is neither an Aedra or deadra. He, as is his nature, makes deals, but due to the birth of his nature, is prone to making tricks, for entertainment or to teach a lesson, making nurn being the easier, more entertaining alternative to that other realm they were suppose to create (according to redguards). This could also be one long way to spread the message, be careful what you wish for. He tricks people with the hopes that theyll learn the value of honest work, the lesson that nothing is free, and the lesson not to trust the deadra or eadra. I reckon he couldve been a satyr, which are mischevious, horned, deal makers and also helpful, they also have a history with mercantilism. He could also be the horned god, cernunnus, the celtic god of the forest and balance (dont take to much and general forestry), but due to the roman influence rather than celtic or nordic, ide say Vile is a satyr. I think when the responsibility and care he had was too much for him, so he split into too, the irresponsible, fun loving man, and the loyal beast of burden which is family (although sometimes open to mistreatment, especially historically). Dont mistreat the Aedra and Daedra, dont make deals, work hard and have fun honestly.

    This is awesome! He's such a "Tom Sawyer" kind of personality! I really like how we can begin assessing Daedra less as context-less ideas and more like distinct characters - which they very much are. The very act of *experiencing* existence rather than simply existing involves internalization and the formation of a character - and timeless beings have indefinite context by which to become very nuanced characters!

    • @monsieurdorgat6864
      @monsieurdorgat6864 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @juscbh BHUVSDSDVBHJWSDV Nah, it's the opposite. Characters are more complex than "the idea of X"
      I used to feel like you did, but then I realized it's just hollow dramatic buildup with no substance. In order for your "inhuman divinity" to make any sense, it can't ever speak, or react to anything. Literally the moment you add context, reactions, or the ability to communicate, that entity becomes a humanized character.
      That shit only works for Lovecraft because those "inhuman" deities don't ever speak - they're never given remotely human characteristics or abilities. Elder Scrolls deities are, and always have been, humanized characters. That's a good thing, because that means they can have complex nuance that a god you're intentionally trying to distill and simplify can't ever have.
