The only alchemy on display in Skyrim outside of loot and shops are the Stormcloaks snorting crushed up ice wraith teeth and the imperials using grapes to ferment potions of greater domestic abuse, pathetic.
Need there be any blessing but corprus? Divine communion, infinite power, an eternity to puzzle the mysteries of the Aurbis... how sweet it is, to partake of and become godflesh.
Man, not only is Dagoth (also welcome back) absolutely correct in his observations, but when you think about it for more than a second, hell even for just a second the possibilities for any conflict in skyrim would, and could be endless with just a little bit of imagination. Particularly when you account for the fact that these are two state going to war with one another. Now yes the Storm Cloak rebellion only has/had haft of Skyrim by the time of the the Battle for Whiterun, but realistically their would have been a massive stockpiling of of everything imaginable, form equipment, to expertise, and man power. Especially for a first battle where both side would want to set the tempo for the war going forward, why are their no enchanted equipment anywhere on that field? Lesser Soul gems are a dime a dozen, and even if some might cringe at the possibilities of using human (or dark elven) souls, just use criminals, or IDK, a fish or something maybe a deer once it's been hunted. But for real there should have been at least lightly enchanted equipment everywhere, it not like these are rare, or these are random bandits hiding in a cave. As well why are there no specialists? No anti mage tanks who know at least the basic shield spell, can cast at least basic alteration magic to make themselves tougher? Or scouts who become harder to spot if not turn invisible, or at least darken into a shadow for flanking attacks. Basic conjurers to summon imps and stuff, battle clerics who heal/buff, archers with explosive arrows/staffs, and of course champions/captains with higher level gear and 2 handed weapons. You know all the absolute basics that you would expect to find in an professional fighting force in Skyrim. And that is of course to say nothing of all the other many things that could be done using the environment, monsters, and other sub factions of the land. Like causing Drauger invasions, by disturbing, but internally not clearing a particular tomb. Causing a battle between a side and the dwimmer automatons by forcing them to travel near, or into a ruin (maybe they were using it a a convenient highway, or travel system. Paying bandits, or orcs to raid their supply lines (and there should most certainly be supply lines) and patrols. Maybe once you become a faction leader, of they become desperate, your side stars to receive "mysterious" aid form dark forces they made deals with, such as foresworn, hagravens, vampire covens, or werewolf tribes, and more. And of course that is to say nothing of the Thalmore, but nope instead we get Catapults that do nothing, and are there souly for aesthetic purposes, like you even need them once your around level 20, and did even the most basic of exploring. You can very casually solo the "Siege of Whiterun" pretty easily if not playing on expert.
Thanks! All of these would have been great, can't believe I didn't think about enchanting aha that would have seemed a given for a sword fighter, or even poison arrows yeah. Conjurers would seem like a good move for sure, could have had the bear shamans or imperial captains summon those wolf familiars to overwhelm the opponent.

> ferment potions of greater domestic abuse
Had me rolling.
great point in fact
Big words for a man born in a nord colony
More elegant warfare for a more civilized era?
dads back
Dagoth's voice sounds more soulless than usual but the final punchline still got me
Speaking of shrine blessings, what blessing would be bestowed upon a Nerevarine/Champion/Dragonborn if there was a shrine to the almighty Dagoth Ur?
Fortify culture

@@lb5818 true dat. Also I forgot that you do get trippy dreams so there's that.
Such wisdom thank you for your glorious seminars dagoth ur
Yeah, what happened to all of the imperial soldier-mages that you saw during the Helgen Intro? After the Helgen Intro they all just... disappear.
Oh that's right! Forgot about them. Alduin gobbled em up?
4:14 Did he just invent a bayonet

There will never be another game like Morrowind. I can't wait for the next Elder Scrolls to have cities of 3 houses.
Papa Dagoth returns? Could it be?
Ah yes dagoth ur memes
See now since general tullius is same voice actor as colonel tigh in BSG I'm gonna guess he's an alcoholic too.
