@@firecoockie1620 Yeeeaaahh but the Ebony Warrior is a Redguard, like the Last Dragonborn, the Ebony Warrior has accomplished pretty much everything in his life and wants one last battle so he can travel to Sovnguard, whether or not he made it there, Bethesda aint talking, yet. But no doubt, he's a beast of a warrior
Pretty much, yeah. Saying you would be better off with knowledge that can spread. If you think about that in a job perspective, if you only ever trained as a NASA IT consultant and only knew their computer system and never bothered learning Windows, Ubuntu, dos etc, if you got fired, your screwed. Lol
Yeah lol, assuming "Normal" difficulty is the best representation of strength comparisons between the player character and NPCs, a fully levelled/geared Dragonborn can probably take on all of Skyrim at once without so much as having a scratch or two.
lorewise I doubt there is a 'cooldown' for shouts as well (the thu'um probably fatigues the user over time though) so the Dragonborn can spam powerful shouts like Slow time and Storm Call and probably battle armies alone.
You can make incredible equipment using these 3 professions. I try not to go to extreme, but my favorite armor set that I made made all destruction magic free to cast. So I could run around blasting enemies with master lvl destruction whenever I felt like.
"The Blades don't count since they're mostly gone and we don't know if the surviving Blades will bring them back. The Ansei totally count, though, even though they're long since gone and completely extinct." How do you even.
Actually his argument was while the Blades were clearly strong, the fact they were wiped out kinda speaks against them being the best ever. Nobody wiped out the Ansei. in their long history, they're mostly just fucking up everyone they come accross and generally slicing and dicing anyone fool enough to draw steel against them. They only died out because it was hard finding people with the sheer talent, drive and will to take up the art to their level, not because they were violently destroyed like the Blades. The blades are gone because they were all killed. The Ansei are gone because most die before being able to become Ansei.
Man i feel like the tongues are op especially the dragonborn. I mean you can become ethereal, use elemental fury to move faster than the eye can see, run like the flash with whirlwind sprint and call someone skeever butt from a mile away.
It is op ONLY for the Dovahkin, cuse he can learn it in seconds, but normal mortals take years to learn a single word, Ulfric trained for years and only uses 2 shouts. Same for the Draugr.
@@MrFantocan Most warriors train for years too, but they'll never even get close to the stuff a Tongue can do. Ulfric may only know two shouts, but just one of them was enough to blow open the gates of Markarth. That alone would give any knight, battle mage or master swordsman a run for his money.
@@gabzdark07 I don't think Ulfric is OP, he shouts you fly, get up and kill him in a few blows, a master swordsman in heavy armor would be much more effective or an Arch Mage, yes shouting gives a nice edge but the time it takes for a normal human to master it I feel it is better to master an entire class. If a greybeard invested the time they do in the Voice with magic for instance he could become ruler of Tamriel. Even Dragons can only use 2 or 3 shouts. But the Dragonborn is a shout machine.
@@MrFantocan I didn't say he was OP, and all shouts are heavily nerfed in the game for balance purposes. Lorewise, Ulfric took Markarth from the forsworn by blasting the gates open. When he shouted Torygg down, he likely broke every single bone in his body, the sword through his heart was just a mercy kill. Any "elite" level warrior would probably end up the same against him, if not worse. That's how broken the Voice is. Ansei are the only warriors who could possibly stand up to the Tongues (mages don't count, they aren't warriors).
@@gabzdark07 I think you are fantasizing the shouts too much, where it said Toryggs bones were broken? He most likely just flew a couple metters then got up and lost in a sword duel. An elite warrior would behead Ulfrick easlily.
One of the Daedric princes in Skyrim has some in-engine stuff that even the console commands don’t have full control over. It’s the guy the Dragonborn DLC deals with. Can’t remember the name. Spent all day listening to elder scrolls lore and have about 1000 fresh names on my mind.
No, the best warrior mocks us every time we approach him, but however hard we try we cannot attack and kill them otherwise all people who view his murder will attack you meaning he is essentially invincible for we always reload our saves to where he lives and can eternally mock us for not visiting the dreaded cloud district...
if playing on pc: enter console mode, type help (insert actor name here), write down the actor id #s, type: (insert actor id here) setessential 0, kill annoying npc, find a guard, select the guard while in console, type: player.paycrimegold 0 0, profit...
However, the decades necessary to train a tounge makes it a questionable strategic choice as a war unit. And combat prowess alone does not guarantee victory by itself. We should not forget that an army of nords led by the king Wulfharth that included tongues and orcish allies was soundly defeated during the first battle of Red Mountain by the chimer-dwemer alliance, despite the tongues and king Wulfharth in particular being arguably stronger warriors that Dumac, Nerevar and the Tribunal, who were no living gods at that time.
I would argue that Tongues are overall more powerful and would beat the sword singers (or any other foe really aside from near divine beings like Pelinal Whitestrake or any of the champions), be that one on one or as an army. However as pointed out in this video that's more due to their shouts - their magic - than due to their skill as warriors, disqualifying them really, where the sword singers do use magic but doesn't rely on them to quite the same deal. Gag a Tongue and you have basically your average nord barbarian, likely not even one as skilled as a Companion at that due to having been able to rely on Shouts to win almost any battle, but dispel a sword singer's blade and presuming he wasn't arrogant enough to not carry a backup he'd be almost as deadly as ever with any regular sword, the conjured blade is merely a boost rather than their focus, and they are master warriors with or without them.
The best warriors were the Atmorans. With only 500 companions Ysgramor drove the Snow Elf race nearly to extinction, created Skyrim, and by extension the empire.
@South Side Comptown The companions by the time your character shows up in Skyrim have like maybe 12 members and are basically glorified mercenaries. The companions at the time of Ysgramor were 500 battle hardened Atmorans, coming from a land torn by constant civil war. The ones we see in the game are extremely weak lol.
@@BigPanda096 Well yeah, but they also had prior warning from the hist trees, were able to get well prepared before the Oblivion crisis and were buffed to shit by the Hist as well in their preparations. Almost every other time they've gotten into a war in the history of the Elder Scrolls they got beat down and enslaved. In their home territory they're unbeatable though, the hist is basically a WMD
South Side Comptown it’s a similar situation to the dark brotherhood it’s essentially gone to shit by the time Skyrim begins like most groups in the game
The start of the video: Tamriel is extremely dangerous End of the video: The ansei faded away because Tamriel was too peacefull for them, the hell was with yokuda
Well, they fought so much they sanked their own homeland. Actually the first redguards ancestrals that came to tamriel were anseis who decided to part from yokuda after a great war (which they won) cause they understood they weren't welcomed among other yokudans anymore. Notheless they found the giant goblins in the caves beneath hammerfell desert and started a war with them.
maldini 3 yeah dude you have to be a bot or his friend .. this shit it weak and they DO have poor knowledge . They all 3 also have a very very fragile ego as well.. it’s a shame honestly
I've always loved the Sword Singers and I truly hope ES6 is set in Hammerfell so your main character can be the first Ansei in however many hundreds of years. We already got the return of the Dragonborn now let's have the return of the Ansei.
Luke Price I just played through the Alik'r zone in ESO and you meet the spirits of the ancient Ansei, the main story could lead you to a place where you learn from the Ansei spirits.
*Luke Price* While it's closer and easier to say it has been millennia, it's not really wrong to say centuries. (like you can say you have 12 hundred, or 1.2 thousand.) Anyway.. True that it is a skill to be honed and it is passed down, we were already reminded that some were borne with a natural affinity for it and the TES universe could easily hide some way of bestowing this ability upon someone even though it's been long lost.
But Redguards DO have a reincarnating hero btw. Hunding, or the spirit of hunding that incarnates through an individual to perform impossible deed to safeguard the Regadan people and their future. So it would be easy for Bethesda to just make the player character be this mythical Hero come again to save the day. Making that hero in to a Ansei wouldn't be to much of a stretch after that.
"You know what they say, 'a Jack of all trades is a Master of none'" Yeah except that's only half the saying. The saying is "a jack of all trades is a master of none, but often better than a master of one."
@@weegeeclaus695 this saying would actually pair best with Khajiit, as the Alfiq are exceptional mages, Pahmar are great warriors, Senche the best mounts, and basically any khajiit is a master of stealth.
The ones the player creates. Those are the strongest. Mainly my semi-immortal dragonborn named “Craig” who beat Alduin to death with his bare hands. Took me an hour. Lol
SneakyWarrior 82 That would make for a great scene. Alduin shouts your weapons out of your hand and as he is mocking you, you charge at him full speed. You then grab his head and start wailing on him. He then starts to fly but you latch on and are taken into the air. You struggle whilst in the air. You rip his scales off. He then twirls around and you plummet to the earth. He then disappears into the fog. You spend a few minutes playing cat and mouse. You catch a few glimpses of him hear and there and you can here is roar. It sounds like it’s coming from every direction, even from inside your own head. He then leaps from the mist trying to bite at your throat for a killing blow but your reflexes are too quick and you take hold of his gaping maw. You two struggle trying to see who can get the best of who. You then see a fire start to form deep in his throat and jump out of the way as a jet of fire comes bursting out of his mouth. You both start circling each other. Alduin tries to fly and snatch you with his feet but you grab his feet and send him hurdling back down and jump on him. You start shredding his right wing but he overpowers you and he is now on top of you. Just as he is lowering his razor filled mouth towards your throat you use Fus Rho Da to send him flying back. You then pounce on his exposed chest and tear at his scales until you see flesh. Once you see his flesh you rip it open and rip out his heart. Now you stand in triumph covered in blood as his soul is absorbed.
@@stevenritter8719 Other than the 2 "hear" and "here" mistakes that would get a solid B+ maybe an A- for a short story from one of my college professors. We the people need you to bring your story to a short animation. *ASAP*
Short of the Ebony Warrior, baddest dude I ever fought one on one was the Boethiah cultist that found me at level 30. He hit like a Mack truck lol. I'm just saying... I'd expect Boethiah cultists to be up there.
It's hard. Almost impossible to inbreed as an orc. You don't stay home. Girls are shipped off to other tribes to train and become wives and the boys are kicked out if they are strong enough to be attractive to the females left in the stronghold. Altmer actually do inbreed though and even they point out that most Altmer look similiar on Summerset isles because of it...
Sword singing is the yokudan’s equivalent of the nord’s Thu’um and the dwemer’s tonal architecture. All of them having one thing in common to their name, music. Also, if one can swimg a sword to cause what is essentially a thermonuclear blast then you have me sold as the greatest warrior of Nirn
Great video as always. Bit late to the show, but I personally think the Welkynar should have been mentioned. There are only 4 members of this elite Knight group that defends the Summerset Isle and especially Cloudrest. I imagine their skills are definitely worth mentioning. My top warriors bets: Altmer: Welkynar or Battlereeves (they have to have centuries of experience to attain the rank. Argonian: Shellback riders Bosmer: I assume Camoran troops? Dunmer: Redoran, Ordinators, or the Hands of Almalexia (which I believe where referred to as the strongest warriors of Tamriel in Morrowind) Khajiit: Mane guardians or monks. Imperial: Blades, Legionnaires Redguards: Ansei (if you allow Tonal manipulation of swords singing which really isn't fighting, same for Nordic tongues) or Ascetic warriors Bretons: Some knight order I suppose. Orcs: Probably the Guardians of Orsinium. Nords: Tongues (if allowed) or Companions
You know, while no means the best, you really have to hand it to the Nord Stormcloaks for being able to fight off the Legion which also recruited heavily from western Skyrim. They fought them to a standstill with 1/6th the manpower and resources and they fought against veteran lead legionaries. On a related note the Tongues may be the reason why Skyrim doesnt have the same fortifications and when they do they are abandoned. When one person can break a fortress why have a fortress?
A cool story for Elder Scrolls 6 could be a fight for independence across all of Tamriel, launched out of Hammerfell (as it's already independent), with the player character being the first new Ansei or some shit like that
Yes but seeing as the ansei were mainly pure swordsmen, the tongues would have the advantage of range. Imagine a whole group of tongues fus roh dah-ing a group of close range swordsmen. Or freezing their whole army. Or all of them calling in a dragon.
Slater4272 _ they are ablo to summon magical swords. You know zorro or anime swordsmen in general they can throw their cuts through the aur which doesn't make sense but I'm pretty sure if they can make winds and storms with their swords they can that Anime stuff too they are really op
If we do end up in Hammerfell for the next Elder Scrolls, I really hope we can become a Sword Singer because the way you described them makes them sound so badass! Also if you guys ever do another character build for Skyrim that uses a Nord, could you have them use Nordic Carved armor? I know it not one of the best armors in the game, but it's still one of my favorite armors design-wise.
I really enjoyed the video. I was not familiar with the Sword singer warriors , but now that I am, I want to play one. So my request is can you make a Sword Singer modded build SE?! (Like this comment to hopefully get enough awareness to grand us our wish)
Just make one lol. Mine is gonna be a sword singer who wields dual wield scimitars. He's going to be a immigrant from hammerfell and came to skyrim to seek his fortune as a mercenary and to help fight the empire because he hates the altmer.
As someone who's been roleplaying a strictly warrior-based character for years (literally chose Redguard for her due to the "most naturally talented human warrior"), finding out about the Ansei and sword-singers is pretty fantastic. Could definitely see this as a plotline in TES VI, perhaps. ;) great contest, as always!
Thank you for acknowledging that House Redoran defeated the Argonian Invasion of Morrowind. Many Argonian players forget that the Argonians attacked Morrowind during a time of crisis, and was halted by House Redoran. Because of this, it's difficult to Guage just how powerful Argonian Warriors truly are
the fighters guild and the companions do not belong anywhere near this list, they do not engage in warfare. also the orcs are not the best craftsmen of armour, dwarven armour actually surpasses orcish armour, given that the wearer posesses the ancient knowledge necessary to use it properly.
@@WumboGuy And then later on when the Companions would fight border wars with the Dwemer, a much larger Empire and more advanced technologically and magically.
Sword Singer? I guess a warrior that swings the sword so fast it sings? Well it has to be light armor preferrably with a dark theme (Armor mods are best for this), 2handed for Ebony Blade or a 2h katana if you aren't evil, a master of alteration to make up for being weak armor-wise and illusion for extra stealth/invisibility to deal fatal blows to your enemies when they least expect it before the decisive battle. Nord for the tongue ability for faster CD for slow-time or rapid attacks shout or dark elf cause of the special's aesthetic. That's all I can think of atm.
The Scroll Lore wise that's not a sword singer. A Sword singer creates his own weapon out of nothing, so a modded bound weapon would be a must for that.
In that situation you'd also have to take the last dragonborn into consideration, even without the armies of Skyrim and hammerfell at his/her side he/she would pose a threat to the thalmor. In dialogue with Clavicus vile while he was weakened he admitted to the dragonborn being nearly as powerful as he is. Even if he is weakened, that's incredible. The college of winterhold would also likely play a part, as the thalmor representative there killed the archmage and attempted to steal the eye of Magnus, the mages there likely would have any love for the thalmor. There's also the fact that hammerfell successfuly fought off the thalmor already, though they are weaker now because of the conflict, with the support of Skyrim they would very well be more capable than before. Another thing to take into consideration, Skyrim has access to vast amounts of dwarven metal, along with dwarven artifacts, this would give them a significant boost equipment wise. And the dwarven ruins (imagine markarth) if manned right would be nearly untakeable and a siege wouldn't work as we know a lot of them are connected underground. I'm sure there's plenty other things to take into consideration but what I've listed and the fact that Skyrim is encircle by mountains everywhere but the north, and in the north the nords would shit on the thalmor, guarantees that a Skyrim/hammerfell alliance on the defensive would be near unbeatable.
Plus, the player character may not even be a warrior. In Oblivion, the player character is probably NOT a warrior. Most people's player characters are either assassins or mages, because both of those tactics are broken in comparison. People often forget how powerful magic was in Oblivion since it is terrible in Skyrim. Mastering even one school of magic made you powerful beyond compare, mastering two made you unstoppable, and mastering them all made you a god. Hell, you could break the entire game by gathering up some grand soul gems and enchanting yourself some Chameleon gear that made you totally invisible all of the time, and basically made the NPCs so unresponsive that you could smack a guard in the face with a mace and he will not arrest you, and probably not even react beyond saying something in response. You could even enchant clothes with Shield effects to make them even better than Daedric armor by a WIDE margin.
IJ OP is right, though not for the reason he put forward. Hero of Kvatch attained godhood, becoming Sheogorath. Pelinal, meanwhile, stayed mortal until his death. As powerful as Pelinal is, he is still weaker than a god. That being said, you're right as well. How do we know that the Hero was a warrior?
Argonians were the only ones able to not only push the daedra back to their portal, but pursue them into the oblivion portals and route them there (without the PC's help anyway). I dunno if they're the strongest, but that definitely should put them into the ranking.
When you're part of the 1st species on Tamriel and your biological type is sepcialized specifically for combat boasting higher speed, strength, size, and agilty along with the fact that you are the main reason for defeating the Bosmer and have been nicknamed "Jaguar Men" among a race of bipedal cats, but despite all this you don't get mentioned in a video about fierce warriors of Tamriel.
The Nerevarine, is and will always be the strongest entity on Nirn damn near Godlike, and since he's/she's immortal apparently he/she will always be the strongest. doesn't matter what race he/she was.
Definitely agree on your pick on the sword singers and I'm also happy you mentioned the Ordinators. Could you ever do a video on the single strongest warriors in all of Tamriels history? I have a feeling that Ysgramor, Gaiden Shinji and Nerevar would make some of the highest rankings.
I clicked on the video and I knew right away the Ansei would come out on top. Just because the Redguards are overlooked and underrated doesn't mean they're weaksauce.
The Daedra only retreated from one group. I have to give it to the An-Xileel. We dont see alot about them, but the fact that they managed to fight the daedra armies to a standstill and than pushed the daedra back in the oblivion and forced the daedra to close there own gates shows a level of might and ferocity you ONLY see in player control characters. Even if the Hist tree warned them about the invasion, the An-Xileel were still the ones that had to fight through the gates of oblivion and the daedra still were fearful of being overrun. I mean, how do you even argue against them? They invaded a gods home and kicked the shit out of his immortal daemon army.
Hammerfell is the top rumor for ES6. Ansei warriors would be nothing short of an incredible idea. However that may only be under the assumption that Bethesda actually wants to continue a storyline involving the witch-elves.
SIlverFang Also, Ansei and Sword Singing was a thing that was verry exclusive to the Redguard race. Like, an inherit racial ability that synergizes with one of them being able to mantle the role of the Hoonding, a Redguard Berserker God that only protected the Redguard people. A Dragonborn can be anybody, since a dragon soul doesnt care what race it inhabits, but it would be hard for anyone other than a Redguard to become an Ansei. There would definitely be some lorebreaking there, but won't be the first time I guess.
Cold Lightning9 I don't think there was ever anything actually racial about sword singing. It was just part of Yokudan culture, one that they likely weren't willing to share. I'd assume anybody could devote themselves to the ways of sword singing and possibly become an Ansei.
Look At This Dude I guess so, however becoming an Avatar of the HoonDing was indeed a Redguard thing, as only one of Yokudan blood could carry that power when the time called for it. I guess they could just keep that part out to avoid any straight up lorebreaking.
Look at This Dude Don't forget about the Nerevarine. The PC from Morrowind, was a reincarnation of a Chimer by the name of Nerevar. It was his being betrayed and consequent death that Azura cursed the Chimer into becoming the Dunmer. The Nerevarine would have almost certainly been a Dunmer, especially considering that six known failed Nerevarines all where Dunmer (Peakstar, Idrenie Nerothan, Hort Ledd, Erur-Dan, Conoon Chodala, and Ane Teria). Considering that you can play as any race in Morrowind despite this shows that whatever plot TES 6 has, any racially bound ability needed by the PC can be learnt regardless of what race the player chose.
Even as a redguard i gotta say orcs. i've fought multiple mobs in Skyrim from bosmers to nords to elves and against other redguards, all have them have fallen against me. But that freken old orc... is the only one that has actually proved a challenge against me.
C D Although that Saadia mission, if you do it early on, is really hard and I always end up betraying her just because I'd be too weak to kill the alikir anyway.
Dude if anyone EVER tells a story of my life, may it pretty please be you. legit listened to you for 12 hours today XD and this is legit my favourite game.
You all are doing great keeping this game going I've been playing it for years and I wanted to learn more about the lore and here you all came so I thank you
According to Michael Kirkbride, one of TES' most influential writers (does contract work on every TES game since Morrowind) has stated that Talos is the strongest warrior and the HoonDing is second
The_Drop Bear you could be the one to revive it maybe some red guard god could bestow the knowledge of how to do it upon you as a gift or the tentacle nigga
ravioli ravioli give me the formuoli Unlikely, there is no reason to introduce a new gimmick for each character, that isn't a new idea, instead they need to concentrate on improving magic and conbat
The_Drop Bear I'd actually prefer a gimmick as long as it's implemented well and flexible as It provides a unique experience and they could honestly do all of that as its probably not getting released until 2020
Haven't seen him in game ever but Tosh Raka the dragon tiger of Akavir. Any being that somehow turned themselves into a dragon has to have some lethal martial capabilities themselves
2:36 umm guys, don't forget that the full quote is "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one " that's a good thing
Yung Muggsy depends if its cannon if he died or not. I'm fairly certain something about the killing of alduin would have deactivated it just like using the numidium deactivated the brass tower (or it vanished.. Can't remember why it vanished)
SheffieldsOwnFatBoy Snow throat might be active, but I'm guessing not. Greensap had its stone stolen, so?? Derrni is the only one confirmed to be still active
Gonna ruffle some feathers, speaking lorewise Nords are probably the most overrated race in all of Elder Scrolls. Not as strong as Orcs, not as skilled as Redguards, not as intelligent as imperials (or really anybody). By the time of ES5 they're basically a bunch of potato and leek eating yokels who never shut up about how great they used to be. Atmorans are badass, Nords are just bad. They struggle to even gain independence from a broken empire, meanwhile Hammerfell basically single handedly finished the war the empire couldn't. The whole BUT MUH VIKINGS thing is really old at this point. Aight I'm putting my autism away now.
Lmao no, nerevar is literally immortal and has fireballs that destroys whole cities plus he kills God's, hero of kvatch becomes a god. Dragonborn just a glorified warrior
I really hope they bring back sword singers and the ansai. It would be super badass if you could craft your spirit sword or spirit weapon based on various different factors throughout the game. Or even something a bit more silly, there are several rounds of maybe questions or decisions you must make throughout the first part of the game and based on those answers or decisions you get your own custom spirit/ song weapon in the second half of the game that you can then kind of upgrade and make your own from there. Obviously "the first part" of the game is maybe the first quarter of the way though the story, or perhaps up to a certain point and then it starts to manifest.... not just "do the tutorial, look at ink blots" The real pipe dream here is that its in depth enough to make hundred of options for your spirit weapon feel and look really unique so that players can actually feel like "it was made for me" and not just "heres the same steel sword (that you can buy at the local shop) but this one has +5 attack and does 3 fire damage... also oooohhh it glows red!" But this is betheda were talking about here so.... tis but a dream mr godhead.... tis but a dream....

lorewise I doubt there is a 'cooldown' for shouts as well (the thu'um probably fatigues the user over time though) so the Dragonborn can spam powerful shouts like Slow time and Storm Call and probably battle armies alone.

Indeed
Have you seen Redguard warriors? They have curved swords.
*CURVED SWORDS*
Actually his argument was while the Blades were clearly strong, the fact they were wiped out kinda speaks against them being the best ever.
Nobody wiped out the Ansei. in their long history, they're mostly just fucking up everyone they come accross and generally slicing and dicing anyone fool enough to draw steel against them.
They only died out because it was hard finding people with the sheer talent, drive and will to take up the art to their level, not because they were violently destroyed like the Blades.
The blades are gone because they were all killed.
The Ansei are gone because most die before being able to become Ansei.
Jack of all trades, master of none...
But if you are talented you can become a master of all...

Man i feel like the tongues are op especially the dragonborn. I mean you can become ethereal, use elemental fury to move faster than the eye can see, run like the flash with whirlwind sprint and call someone skeever butt from a mile away.
It is op ONLY for the Dovahkin, cuse he can learn it in seconds, but normal mortals take years to learn a single word, Ulfric trained for years and only uses 2 shouts. Same for the Draugr.
@@MrFantocan Most warriors train for years too, but they'll never even get close to the stuff a Tongue can do. Ulfric may only know two shouts, but just one of them was enough to blow open the gates of Markarth. That alone would give any knight, battle mage or master swordsman a run for his money.
@@gabzdark07 I don't think Ulfric is OP, he shouts you fly, get up and kill him in a few blows, a master swordsman in heavy armor would be much more effective or an Arch Mage, yes shouting gives a nice edge but the time it takes for a normal human to master it I feel it is better to master an entire class.
If a greybeard invested the time they do in the Voice with magic for instance he could become ruler of Tamriel.
Even Dragons can only use 2 or 3 shouts. But the Dragonborn is a shout machine.
@@MrFantocan I didn't say he was OP, and all shouts are heavily nerfed in the game for balance purposes. Lorewise, Ulfric took Markarth from the forsworn by blasting the gates open. When he shouted Torygg down, he likely broke every single bone in his body, the sword through his heart was just a mercy kill.
Any "elite" level warrior would probably end up the same against him, if not worse. That's how broken the Voice is. Ansei are the only warriors who could possibly stand up to the Tongues (mages don't count, they aren't warriors).
@@gabzdark07 I think you are fantasizing the shouts too much, where it said Toryggs bones were broken? He most likely just flew a couple metters then got up and lost in a sword duel.

Sword singers and tounges are probably the best. The pakeroto sword and the potential of dragon shouts make them living wmds.
However, the decades necessary to train a tounge makes it a questionable strategic choice as a war unit. And combat prowess alone does not guarantee victory by itself. We should not forget that an army of nords led by the king Wulfharth that included tongues and orcish allies was soundly defeated during the first battle of Red Mountain by the chimer-dwemer alliance, despite the tongues and king Wulfharth in particular being arguably stronger warriors that Dumac, Nerevar and the Tribunal, who were no living gods at that time.
What if you become a sword singer in eso 6
I would argue that Tongues are overall more powerful and would beat the sword singers (or any other foe really aside from near divine beings like Pelinal Whitestrake or any of the champions), be that one on one or as an army. However as pointed out in this video that's more due to their shouts - their magic - than due to their skill as warriors, disqualifying them really, where the sword singers do use magic but doesn't rely on them to quite the same deal. Gag a Tongue and you have basically your average nord barbarian, likely not even one as skilled as a Companion at that due to having been able to rely on Shouts to win almost any battle, but dispel a sword singer's blade and presuming he wasn't arrogant enough to not carry a backup he'd be almost as deadly as ever with any regular sword, the conjured blade is merely a boost rather than their focus, and they are master warriors with or without them.
That's the reason why the crossbow was banned in medieval ages.

The best warriors were the Atmorans. With only 500 companions Ysgramor drove the Snow Elf race nearly to extinction, created Skyrim, and by extension the empire.
@South Side Comptown The companions by the time your character shows up in Skyrim have like maybe 12 members and are basically glorified mercenaries. The companions at the time of Ysgramor were 500 battle hardened Atmorans, coming from a land torn by constant civil war. The ones we see in the game are extremely weak lol.
In my game there are hardly any
companions there anyway because they either serve in my mansions or the blades
@@BigPanda096 Well yeah, but they also had prior warning from the hist trees, were able to get well prepared before the Oblivion crisis and were buffed to shit by the Hist as well in their preparations. Almost every other time they've gotten into a war in the history of the Elder Scrolls they got beat down and enslaved. In their home territory they're unbeatable though, the hist is basically a WMD

South Side Comptown it’s a similar situation to the dark brotherhood it’s essentially gone to shit by the time Skyrim begins like most groups in the game
The start of the video: Tamriel is extremely dangerous
End of the video: The ansei faded away because Tamriel was too peacefull for them, the hell was with yokuda
Well, they fought so much they sanked their own homeland. Actually the first redguards ancestrals that came to tamriel were anseis who decided to part from yokuda after a great war (which they won) cause they understood they weren't welcomed among other yokudans anymore. Notheless they found the giant goblins in the caves beneath hammerfell desert and started a war with them.

I've always loved the Sword Singers and I truly hope ES6 is set in Hammerfell so your main character can be the first Ansei in however many hundreds of years. We already got the return of the Dragonborn now let's have the return of the Ansei.
Look At This Dude Being someone that usually plays Redguards, that would be a dream come true.
Look At This Dude Wouldn't really make sense, it'd be millennia not centuries. It isn't a thing that you're born with, you're trained.
Luke Price I just played through the Alik'r zone in ESO and you meet the spirits of the ancient Ansei, the main story could lead you to a place where you learn from the Ansei spirits.
*Luke Price*
While it's closer and easier to say it has been millennia, it's not really wrong to say centuries. (like you can say you have 12 hundred, or 1.2 thousand.)
Anyway.. True that it is a skill to be honed and it is passed down, we were already reminded that some were borne with a natural affinity for it and the TES universe could easily hide some way of bestowing this ability upon someone even though it's been long lost.
But Redguards DO have a reincarnating hero btw. Hunding, or the spirit of hunding that incarnates through an individual to perform impossible deed to safeguard the Regadan people and their future. So it would be easy for Bethesda to just make the player character be this mythical Hero come again to save the day. Making that hero in to a Ansei wouldn't be to much of a stretch after that.
"You know what they say, 'a Jack of all trades is a Master of none'"
Yeah except that's only half the saying. The saying is "a jack of all trades is a master of none, but often better than a master of one."
Which is why the imperials are the most successful and numerous race.
@@weegeeclaus695 this saying would actually pair best with Khajiit, as the Alfiq are exceptional mages, Pahmar are great warriors, Senche the best mounts, and basically any khajiit is a master of stealth.
@@TeamJella could be, but the imperials created multiple, continent-spanning empires...
@@weegeeclaus695 I'm just going by the saying, and why he was wrong for using the saying the way he did.
At the beginning i thought he was gonna say “Tamriel, “Dawn’s Beauty” in the language of the Aldmer, or “Tazokan” in the Dragon’s Tongue...”
How about an overview of the Dunmer houses?
The ones the player creates.
Those are the strongest.
Mainly my semi-immortal dragonborn named “Craig” who beat Alduin to death with his bare hands.
Took me an hour. Lol
SneakyWarrior 82 That would make for a great scene. Alduin shouts your weapons out of your hand and as he is mocking you, you charge at him full speed. You then grab his head and start wailing on him. He then starts to fly but you latch on and are taken into the air. You struggle whilst in the air. You rip his scales off. He then twirls around and you plummet to the earth. He then disappears into the fog. You spend a few minutes playing cat and mouse. You catch a few glimpses of him hear and there and you can here is roar. It sounds like it’s coming from every direction, even from inside your own head. He then leaps from the mist trying to bite at your throat for a killing blow but your reflexes are too quick and you take hold of his gaping maw. You two struggle trying to see who can get the best of who. You then see a fire start to form deep in his throat and jump out of the way as a jet of fire comes bursting out of his mouth. You both start circling each other. Alduin tries to fly and snatch you with his feet but you grab his feet and send him hurdling back down and jump on him. You start shredding his right wing but he overpowers you and he is now on top of you. Just as he is lowering his razor filled mouth towards your throat you use Fus Rho Da to send him flying back. You then pounce on his exposed chest and tear at his scales until you see flesh. Once you see his flesh you rip it open and rip out his heart. Now you stand in triumph covered in blood as his soul is absorbed.

Either that or they're using telekinesis.
Theory: The orcs appearance isn't a result of what happened to Malacath, it's due to inbreeding.
Greg Hood very few actually inbreed and the ones that do its first cousins or less
It's hard. Almost impossible to inbreed as an orc. You don't stay home. Girls are shipped off to other tribes to train and become wives and the boys are kicked out if they are strong enough to be attractive to the females left in the stronghold.
Altmer actually do inbreed though and even they point out that most Altmer look similiar on Summerset isles because of it...
@@CornBreadtm1 stupid habsburg elves.
then explain how malacath is an orc then..........you saying he was inbreeded as well?
Man am I ever proud to be a Redguard fan.
Sword singing is the yokudan’s equivalent of the nord’s Thu’um and the dwemer’s tonal architecture. All of them having one thing in common to their name, music.
Also, if one can swimg a sword to cause what is essentially a thermonuclear blast then you have me sold as the greatest warrior of Nirn
Great video as always.
Bit late to the show, but I personally think the Welkynar should have been mentioned. There are only 4 members of this elite Knight group that defends the Summerset Isle and especially Cloudrest. I imagine their skills are definitely worth mentioning.
My top warriors bets:
Altmer: Welkynar or Battlereeves (they have to have centuries of experience to attain the rank.
Argonian: Shellback riders
Bosmer: I assume Camoran troops?
Dunmer: Redoran, Ordinators, or the Hands of Almalexia (which I believe where referred to as the strongest warriors of Tamriel in Morrowind)
Khajiit: Mane guardians or monks.
Imperial: Blades, Legionnaires
Redguards: Ansei (if you allow Tonal manipulation of swords singing which really isn't fighting, same for Nordic tongues) or Ascetic warriors
Bretons: Some knight order I suppose.
Orcs: Probably the Guardians of Orsinium.
Nords: Tongues (if allowed) or Companions
Should include at least the Dremora too imho
I'm Pretty sure dark elf high ordinators stationed in Mournhold are the only warriors trained from childhood
True. Since they are orphans, said by Almalexia, so yeah, Her Hands wins
Yeah bro good point!
You know, while no means the best, you really have to hand it to the Nord Stormcloaks for being able to fight off the Legion which also recruited heavily from western Skyrim. They fought them to a standstill with 1/6th the manpower and resources and they fought against veteran lead legionaries.
On a related note the Tongues may be the reason why Skyrim doesnt have the same fortifications and when they do they are abandoned. When one person can break a fortress why have a fortress?
Jorgen windcaller is the worst thing to ever happen to the nords. He seriously fucked them over.
My guess before watching: the Ansei. They sound very OP. Second: The tongues.
I thought you would forget about the Ansei. You got me.
Hero of Kvatch. I believe he can even use chim. He defeated Jyggalag face to face and closed countless portals alone.
A cool story for Elder Scrolls 6 could be a fight for independence across all of Tamriel, launched out of Hammerfell (as it's already independent), with the player character being the first new Ansei or some shit like that

Yes but seeing as the ansei were mainly pure swordsmen, the tongues would have the advantage of range. Imagine a whole group of tongues fus roh dah-ing a group of close range swordsmen. Or freezing their whole army. Or all of them calling in a dragon.
Slater4272 _ they are ablo to summon magical swords. You know zorro or anime swordsmen in general they can throw their cuts through the aur which doesn't make sense but I'm pretty sure if they can make winds and storms with their swords they can that Anime stuff too they are really op
jalabarxho are they from ESO? I never heard of them could you send a link about them. I'd like to know because they sound really cool
If we do end up in Hammerfell for the next Elder Scrolls, I really hope we can become a Sword Singer because the way you described them makes them sound so badass!
Also if you guys ever do another character build for Skyrim that uses a Nord, could you have them use Nordic Carved armor? I know it not one of the best armors in the game, but it's still one of my favorite armors design-wise.
Carved armor FTW
I really enjoyed the video. I was not familiar with the Sword singer warriors , but now that I am, I want to play one. So my request is can you make a Sword Singer modded build SE?! (Like this comment to hopefully get enough awareness to grand us our wish)
Devcon 102 I think they made one (or as close as you can get in Skyrim) I believe they called him the yokudan.
Just make one lol. Mine is gonna be a sword singer who wields dual wield scimitars. He's going to be a immigrant from hammerfell and came to skyrim to seek his fortune as a mercenary and to help fight the empire because he hates the altmer.
As someone who's been roleplaying a strictly warrior-based character for years (literally chose Redguard for her due to the "most naturally talented human warrior"), finding out about the Ansei and sword-singers is pretty fantastic. Could definitely see this as a plotline in TES VI, perhaps. ;) great contest, as always!

Thank you for acknowledging that House Redoran defeated the Argonian Invasion of Morrowind. Many Argonian players forget that the Argonians attacked Morrowind during a time of crisis, and was halted by House Redoran. Because of this, it's difficult to Guage just how powerful Argonian Warriors truly are
the fighters guild and the companions do not belong anywhere near this list, they do not engage in warfare.
also the orcs are not the best craftsmen of armour, dwarven armour actually surpasses orcish armour, given that the wearer posesses the ancient knowledge necessary to use it properly.
Windhelm Guard I'd say the ancient 500 companions of Ysgramor definitely deserve the consideration.

Absolutely amazing!!! Have you done a sword singer build? If not you should or can you tell me what build is most like that
Sword Singer? I guess a warrior that swings the sword so fast it sings? Well it has to be light armor preferrably with a dark theme (Armor mods are best for this), 2handed for Ebony Blade or a 2h katana if you aren't evil, a master of alteration to make up for being weak armor-wise and illusion for extra stealth/invisibility to deal fatal blows to your enemies when they least expect it before the decisive battle. Nord for the tongue ability for faster CD for slow-time or rapid attacks shout or dark elf cause of the special's aesthetic. That's all I can think of atm.
Raymond Jacobs I was thinking the same thing.
First word of dragon aspect + elemental fury + ebony/orichilium sword
The Scroll Lore wise that's not a sword singer. A Sword singer creates his own weapon out of nothing, so a modded bound weapon would be a must for that.
Yes but unfortunately sword singing is not a feature in the Skyrim game, you make do with what you have lol
Yep I 100% Agree, i'm glad to hear somebody else talking about... The Swordsingers. I have been fan boying over them for nearly a year now.
I wonder, what would happen if Skyrim and Hammerfell made an alliance with each other and combine their armies to fight the aldmeri dominion.
Mike van Heugten they would still lose.
Not if Skyrim still had the full backing of the Empire. Stormcloaks are the ones to fuck it all up, as usual.
The answer is simple, they wouldn't. The Empire was the only thing holding all these provinces together that actually hate each other.
Hammerfell and Skyrim together one unified military force... Unstoppable. The AD would lose races of men will always best AD when unified
In that situation you'd also have to take the last dragonborn into consideration, even without the armies of Skyrim and hammerfell at his/her side he/she would pose a threat to the thalmor. In dialogue with Clavicus vile while he was weakened he admitted to the dragonborn being nearly as powerful as he is. Even if he is weakened, that's incredible. The college of winterhold would also likely play a part, as the thalmor representative there killed the archmage and attempted to steal the eye of Magnus, the mages there likely would have any love for the thalmor. There's also the fact that hammerfell successfuly fought off the thalmor already, though they are weaker now because of the conflict, with the support of Skyrim they would very well be more capable than before. Another thing to take into consideration, Skyrim has access to vast amounts of dwarven metal, along with dwarven artifacts, this would give them a significant boost equipment wise. And the dwarven ruins (imagine markarth) if manned right would be nearly untakeable and a siege wouldn't work as we know a lot of them are connected underground. I'm sure there's plenty other things to take into consideration but what I've listed and the fact that Skyrim is encircle by mountains everywhere but the north, and in the north the nords would shit on the thalmor, guarantees that a Skyrim/hammerfell alliance on the defensive would be near unbeatable.
Why are the fudgemuppets voices so satisfying and calming
Pelinal whitestrake

IJ OP
He's not
IJ OP i dont really think you can compare player characters to npcs as the story is written that they must succeed.
Plus, the player character may not even be a warrior. In Oblivion, the player character is probably NOT a warrior. Most people's player characters are either assassins or mages, because both of those tactics are broken in comparison. People often forget how powerful magic was in Oblivion since it is terrible in Skyrim. Mastering even one school of magic made you powerful beyond compare, mastering two made you unstoppable, and mastering them all made you a god. Hell, you could break the entire game by gathering up some grand soul gems and enchanting yourself some Chameleon gear that made you totally invisible all of the time, and basically made the NPCs so unresponsive that you could smack a guard in the face with a mace and he will not arrest you, and probably not even react beyond saying something in response. You could even enchant clothes with Shield effects to make them even better than Daedric armor by a WIDE margin.
IJ OP is right, though not for the reason he put forward. Hero of Kvatch attained godhood, becoming Sheogorath. Pelinal, meanwhile, stayed mortal until his death. As powerful as Pelinal is, he is still weaker than a god.
That being said, you're right as well. How do we know that the Hero was a warrior?
Argonians were the only ones able to not only push the daedra back to their portal, but pursue them into the oblivion portals and route them there (without the PC's help anyway). I dunno if they're the strongest, but that definitely should put them into the ranking.
The Nords are the best all round warriors, especially those with the Thu'um!
Hands of Almalexia
When you're part of the 1st species on Tamriel and your biological type is sepcialized specifically for combat boasting higher speed, strength, size, and agilty along with the fact that you are the main reason for defeating the Bosmer and have been nicknamed "Jaguar Men" among a race of bipedal cats, but despite all this you don't get mentioned in a video about fierce warriors of Tamriel.
The Nerevarine, is and will always be the strongest entity on Nirn damn near Godlike, and since he's/she's immortal apparently he/she will always be the strongest. doesn't matter what race he/she was.

Definitely agree on your pick on the sword singers and I'm also happy you mentioned the Ordinators.
Could you ever do a video on the single strongest warriors in all of Tamriels history?
I have a feeling that Ysgramor, Gaiden Shinji and Nerevar would make some of the highest rankings.

sword singers were basically new game+ characters starting the game over again with all their stuff.
@@thomasjenkins7506 true
I clicked on the video and I knew right away the Ansei would come out on top.
Just because the Redguards are overlooked and underrated doesn't mean they're weaksauce.
The Daedra only retreated from one group. I have to give it to the An-Xileel. We dont see alot about them, but the fact that they managed to fight the daedra armies to a standstill and than pushed the daedra back in the oblivion and forced the daedra to close there own gates shows a level of might and ferocity you ONLY see in player control characters. Even if the Hist tree warned them about the invasion, the An-Xileel were still the ones that had to fight through the gates of oblivion and the daedra still were fearful of being overrun.
I mean, how do you even argue against them? They invaded a gods home and kicked the shit out of his immortal daemon army.

"You see those warriors from Hammerfell? They've got soul swords. Soul. Swords."
Hammerfell is the top rumor for ES6. Ansei warriors would be nothing short of an incredible idea. However that may only be under the assumption that Bethesda actually wants to continue a storyline involving the witch-elves.
SIlverFang Also, Ansei and Sword Singing was a thing that was verry exclusive to the Redguard race. Like, an inherit racial ability that synergizes with one of them being able to mantle the role of the Hoonding, a Redguard Berserker God that only protected the Redguard people.
A Dragonborn can be anybody, since a dragon soul doesnt care what race it inhabits, but it would be hard for anyone other than a Redguard to become an Ansei. There would definitely be some lorebreaking there, but won't be the first time I guess.
Cold Lightning9 I don't think there was ever anything actually racial about sword singing. It was just part of Yokudan culture, one that they likely weren't willing to share. I'd assume anybody could devote themselves to the ways of sword singing and possibly become an Ansei.
Look At This Dude I guess so, however becoming an Avatar of the HoonDing was indeed a Redguard thing, as only one of Yokudan blood could carry that power when the time called for it.
I guess they could just keep that part out to avoid any straight up lorebreaking.
Cold Lightning9
Sword singing isn't racial, it's an artform that can be learnt. However it is long since forgotten
Look at This Dude
Don't forget about the Nerevarine. The PC from Morrowind, was a reincarnation of a Chimer by the name of Nerevar. It was his being betrayed and consequent death that Azura cursed the Chimer into becoming the Dunmer. The Nerevarine would have almost certainly been a Dunmer, especially considering that six known failed Nerevarines all where Dunmer (Peakstar, Idrenie Nerothan, Hort Ledd, Erur-Dan, Conoon Chodala, and Ane Teria). Considering that you can play as any race in Morrowind despite this shows that whatever plot TES 6 has, any racially bound ability needed by the PC can be learnt regardless of what race the player chose.
A dragonborn trained in the redguard sword singer way, now that's an unstoppable Force right there.

Ok so elder scrolls 6 = sword singers. Imagine how badass you could be

Unlikely, there is no reason to introduce a new gimmick for each character, that isn't a new idea, instead they need to concentrate on improving magic and conbat
The_Drop Bear I'd actually prefer a gimmick as long as it's implemented well and flexible as It provides a unique experience and they could honestly do all of that as its probably not getting released until 2020

A jack of all trades IS a master of none - but oftentimes better than a master of one.
Funny enough a Nord could take on a sword singer by simply using the Disarm Shout ;D
That shout doesn't work against bound weapons so it probably won't work against a Shehai.
That shout is useless
Don't know about the strongest, but my favorite is Lord Indoril Nerevar.
Curved. Swords.
Haven't seen him in game ever but Tosh Raka the dragon tiger of Akavir. Any being that somehow turned themselves into a dragon has to have some lethal martial capabilities themselves

umm guys, don't forget that the full quote is "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one " that's a good thing
could you do a video on the towers?
i feel like they confirm that TES6 will be in High Rock as the ada-mantia tower is the only one remaining
SheffieldsOwnFatBoy the throat of the world is unconfirmed to be deactivated and it’s probably still active because paarthunax is up there
Yung Muggsy depends if its cannon if he died or not. I'm fairly certain something about the killing of alduin would have deactivated it just like using the numidium deactivated the brass tower (or it vanished.. Can't remember why it vanished)
SheffieldsOwnFatBoy yeah true we need to wait and see what the lore says in tes6
ay we do
SheffieldsOwnFatBoy
Snow throat might be active, but I'm guessing not.
Greensap had its stone stolen, so??
Derrni is the only one confirmed to be still active
An orcish Ansei that is taught the tongue and recruited into the legion... damn
I would be very exited to play as a sword singer in ES6 : Hammerfell
The title made me think this would be about individuals, not groups. An entertaining video, none the less.
Redgards. It is known.
You guys should do a swordsinger build; I’ve never heard of their lore before this video.
Gonna ruffle some feathers, speaking lorewise Nords are probably the most overrated race in all of Elder Scrolls. Not as strong as Orcs, not as skilled as Redguards, not as intelligent as imperials (or really anybody). By the time of ES5 they're basically a bunch of potato and leek eating yokels who never shut up about how great they used to be. Atmorans are badass, Nords are just bad. They struggle to even gain independence from a broken empire, meanwhile Hammerfell basically single handedly finished the war the empire couldn't. The whole BUT MUH VIKINGS thing is really old at this point. Aight I'm putting my autism away now.
this
you right
Nords are pretty badass, but people really do wank them and put down Redguards a lot here.
Cold Lightning9 Nords can be just fine yeah, just had to get that rant off my chest.
Look At This Dude yeah the red guards are really bad in terms of abilities in tes5 it’s really annoying
Dragon : **kills chicken**
Nord : **so you have chosen death**
The Dragonborn is the greatest warrior in Tamriels history
Lmao no, nerevar is literally immortal and has fireballs that destroys whole cities plus he kills God's, hero of kvatch becomes a god. Dragonborn just a glorified warrior
I really hope they bring back sword singers and the ansai.
It would be super badass if you could craft your spirit sword or spirit weapon based on various different factors throughout the game.
Or even something a bit more silly, there are several rounds of maybe questions or decisions you must make throughout the first part of the game and based on those answers or decisions you get your own custom spirit/ song weapon in the second half of the game that you can then kind of upgrade and make your own from there. Obviously "the first part" of the game is maybe the first quarter of the way though the story, or perhaps up to a certain point and then it starts to manifest.... not just "do the tutorial, look at ink blots"
The real pipe dream here is that its in depth enough to make hundred of options for your spirit weapon feel and look really unique so that players can actually feel like "it was made for me" and not just "heres the same steel sword (that you can buy at the local shop) but this one has +5 attack and does 3 fire damage... also oooohhh it glows red!"
But this is betheda were talking about here so.... tis but a dream mr godhead.... tis but a dream....
Another great video by fudgemuppet
Nice one!
I wanted to know if theres a video about the Shadow scales..
Absolutely love your videos! Keep it up
Pelinal, Ysgramor, Yokudans (not redguards), Dwemers
Aleks Yokudans are Redguards.
BlueAssassin 94 Redguards are Yokudans after they got on Tamriel and lost the secrets of swordsinging techniques
Aleks True but they have the potential to reclaim those techniques.
BlueAssassin 94 until they reclaim them they are not the strongest warriors
BlueAssassin 94
Yokodans are redguards in the same way that the nords are Atmoran's
“They will be so undeniably skilled...”
*R2 spam intensifies.*

Crazy Owl: I THINK I WROTE WHAT I WANTED TO SAY CORRECTLY.
