    Hey there Zero, thanks for covering my mod! I'm really glad you liked the voice acting and the mod as a whole! I'm really sorry about the quest marker issue, I'll get to fixing that soon.
    I probably won't be adding more to the mod as once my mods are in the public, I don't like drastically altering them. However, I will be making more Lovecraftian mods, I'm currently working on a large dungeon which should be coming out in a bit.
    Thank you again for covering the mod! :))

    I love the heavy inclination on dialogue so far. The metaphysical setting of TES lore really does match with the Lovecraftian theme the mod is emulating.

    4:44 That's a historical present tense. It's a present tense used to give more immediacy to a retelling of past events. It's used correctly here.

    You ever want to pry open the fourth wall and hop dimensions to say, like, three paragraphs and then dip?
    Anyway, Sithis is the embodiment of a lack of existence. Anuiel is existence, all-encompassing and consuming, and Sithis is all the in-between--not quite a "true nothing" (which by nature is not something that can exist), but moreso just nonexistence. Hence why Sithis is the Void. It is technically tangible, it's just that the standard definition of tangibility doesn't cover intangibility. Ironically. If you can point in even the most vague of directions and go "that doesn't exist," guess what, baby? You just made the intangible tangible!
    In other word, ouroboros.
    I love this mod to bits. :)

  • @Practitioner_of_Diogenes
    @Practitioner_of_Diogenes ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The paradox of nothing is truly an interesting thing.
    To be nothing is still something, as you are the opposite of something.
    As hinted at about 2/3rds into the video, where we see Dreynos' descent into madness, for something to truly be nothing, it must get to the point in time where this is true; where it truly was nothing. But, because of how time works, Aedra, Daedra, Magna Ge, the Living Gods (minus Vivec, who escaped the dream), the Primordials, are all bound to it, so Sithis is also bound to time, so despite its extreme apathy (as described by Dreynos), it cannot escape its own existence for it doesn't control Time.
    That said, Sthis does care from time to time, as Sthis does not want Cicero killed in the Dawnstar Sanctuary, as the shade of Lucien Lachance mentions that the Void is becoming restless, disturbed, during the quest where you have the option to kill Cicero, stating that Sithis does not desire that outcome.
    Dreynos' death seems vaguely like Tale of Icarus; got too close to the "sun", and got literally burned for it. And while Godhead isn't exactly "canon", there's still a lot, and I mean A LOT of hints that it might be. Especially if you throw in the Towers theory.

    Hello Zero! Thanks for covering Nimwraith and I's mod! It was really cool to watch your experience and I'm so happy to see the intrinsic player asking great questions as the story is revealed! It certainly makes you yearn for something... something more...😜And also, thank you very much for the compliment! I do plan on being in more mods in the future so stay tuned!
    PS nice catch on the Oblivion reference. Blessings of Anu upon ye!

    Always interesting to see mods focusing on the more esoteric elements of the lore. This really gets across how murky and confusing the cosmic aspects of the setting can be...even more so to the people living in it.
    I'm reminded, tangentially, of the Here There Be Monsters mod series, which also pulls in a lot of Lovecraftian influences... literally, what with the second installment literally being called the Call of Cthulhu and about blending actual Lovecraft mythos with Elder Scrolls lore (fairly well, I might add).

    Nice mod! I think it would’ve been neat if there was more actual gameplay beyond just dialogue, but then again, it’s nice to have something that’s just a small encounter without much grandure or drama for a change. Reminds me a bit of Froki’s quest about Kyne in a way, with it being a bit of a crash course in older/more obscure lore.

    • @0periodproductions

      It reminded me of the kind of encounters I might find in Interesting NPCs, which is some of the highest praise I can give

    • @Practitioner_of_Diogenes
      @Practitioner_of_Diogenes ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Froki's quests are also a reference to the Nords more accepting the Imperial pantheon as a retcon, but also acknowledging that "Yeah, that pantheon's still a thing beyond just in the Halls of History in the dungeons."

    The double edged sword of attaining answers to life's biggest mysteries. The closer you get to a conclusion that makes you believe you 'know' something, suddenly turns into another question - regardless of whether you asked that question. Fork upon fork, further down the 'rabbit hole' or layers of the onion, the more you know the more you begin to understand how much you do not know - if this is the answer then what question needs to be asked to be applied to it? For the answer is never enough to satisfy the thirst for more knowledge when you equate power with knowledge.

    Sithis is a primordial force, not exactly an entity. What they worship is very likely a manifestation of Mephala.

    Very unrelated to this mod and its themes but have you ever used Warbird's mods? Not really quest mods, but there is one that adds entire new sections to Whiterun, and the other gives you a dwarven underground train station, as an alternative to fast travel. Both definitely worth a review

    Question unrelated to the video: would you ever be interested in making vods / having youtube streams? I really dislike Twitch (it's incredibly laggy), but I imagine this is where you make a big chunk of your income. Just curious.

    • @0periodproductions
      @0periodproductions  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      TH-cam is the larger part of my income currently, but I also like being on multiple platforms just as a safety measure in case anything were to happen to TH-cam. I do need to set up a separate channel for Twitch VODs (something I'll do later this year), but I don't have any plans to livestream on TH-cam.

      @0periodproductions  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Oh I just played Elden Ring for me as a for-fun game, but I did stream Dark Souls 1, and the Demon's Souls Remaster. I would make a separate channel for Twitch VODs because of how the algorithm works, uploading them on this channel would actually hurt my viewership on regular videos (TH-cam is weird)
