There's this book in daggerfall about a scholar who decides to investigate Nymphs and it's pretty funny. No one takes his research seriously but he does get a few leads on where to find them, so he goes there, meets a Nymph and stays with her for a while. Guy comes back to society, turns in his report and no one ever hears from him ever again.
Oh wow, thank you then! I made this video almost a year ago lol, but if you'd like I could credit you in the description. Honestly, I should probably do that for other people who worked on the page too.
@@tarponpet I'll definitely do that then, and I'll make sure to do so going forward. These days I do try to follow sources listed and then come up with my own interpretations when I can, but I'll make sure to give credit wherever it's due. Please let me know if there's any other kind of etiquette you'd rather I follow. Thank you again!
@ceedott (TH-cam keeps eating my reply) Its no problem! And hey, if you ever wanna make more vids on creatures or obscure races maybe contact me sometime, I'd love to share my expertise!
@@ceedott Again apologies if a bunch of replies got sent somehow, youtube didn't like me trying to say that you could find me as Tarp on a certain popular messaging app lol
Makes me wonder why Bethesda decided not to bring back those random creatures from Arena and Daggerfall. Perhaps they thought they were too cliche? I mean, that's the reason it took until Skyrim for a game to feature Dragons as a main plotpoint.
I think they shouldn't bring every Creature into a actual Game or Depiction. To have such a Description adds to what People would have in the Past, before we had Documentation for Everything, it just triggers your Imagination and brings Wonder into a unknown World.
@@ceedott Yep, there has to be a Balance inbetween :) Just as an Example, Hell. Hell is often a abstract Thing, something beyond human Imagination, filled with everything bad and evil, but in Doom Eternal they grounded it by giving it a very mortal Take in the DLC. Same with much of the Stuff from Warcraft. Until now they managed it pretty well in the Elder Scrolls Series with Daedra, Aedra and overall fantastic Creatures. Some Stuff gets explained, some stayed in the dark, unexplainable.
Good and very informative video. Love the Elder Scrolls lore! Thank you for crediting me in the description. Really appreciate that; you should be an example to people who just steal my footage to benefit themselves lol. Keep on going! If I may give you advice, not that I do commentary myself, but turn down the music a bit so people can hear you better. Cheers!
Thank you so much! I do try to give proper credit where it’s due. It’s notoriously hard to even get Shadowkey running from what I hear. And I’ll make sure to follow that advice lol.
I absolutely love your video making and editing style! Perfect homage of the older games, down to the music! Please do more! My favorite parts are when you add lots of visual and theoretical context, like how you did with the Ice Tribes. I have a suggestion on technics: I might experiment with your music+voice levels (since that = quality level for the whole vid length), and also doing less fade-outs of the book background might better-define pacing & immerse your message. Anyway the content is great, easy sub!
Thank you! I’m quite a fan of your TES videos as well! I absolutely do plan on making more and I’m devoted to making these as high quality as I possibly can from now on.
such an underrated channel. love your works on these especially since TES I and II has a lot of interesting lore and content that is cute or retconned.
I did consider including them, but they all essentially boil down to different types of Daedra, and everybody knows about Daedra. I wanted to include really obscure monsters that most people hadn't heard of before.
Can I give some constructive criticism here? I love your approach to the video but the audio balance could use work, lower the music a bit next time where it’s simply ambient and not competing with your voice, otherwise great video man, earned a like 👍
Usually the algorithm sucks but this is an Interesting topic that I've not seen the big channels cover. I might even sub to this as long as there's not a bunch of profanity.
Thanks! I’m trying to go over small and really obscure bits of lore that most big channels don’t go over, cause all the major stuff has already been done to death. I’ll try to not use profanity if I can avoid it.
@@ceedott It just so happens, obscure lore is amongst my favourite types. If I'm seeing it in algorithm, I bet you'll get a ton of new viewers like me. They are also seeking deep lore that's well presented. . And thank you! I really like that. Pointless profanity makes me cringe, I've actually stopped watching channels I liked because the creator just could not stop saying the F word every 10 seconds.
@@ceedott I love encouraging channels that I feel are like me or cover content I think is important. Gonna keep watching this video. Have a good day :)
keep it up brother, love content like this, binging all your vids. the algo will certainly pick you up if you keep pushing quality content out there like this. agree with toughgamingguy in that the music should be a tad quieter. Invest in a slightly better mic, youre set.

Loved the video! Glad to hear you took the feedback about the music volume. I shall now go watch some of your other videos.
As someone who does a lot of work on UESP's lore bestiary and Obscure Creature page, its fun to see a video like this using some of my work!
Oh wow, thank you then! I made this video almost a year ago lol, but if you'd like I could credit you in the description. Honestly, I should probably do that for other people who worked on the page too.
@ceedott All we'd really like is that you atleast link the wiki pages that helped you the most. Or you cite in the video.

Whenever I think of elder scrolls creatures from the first two games I just think of Ghouls.
Floaters looks like a creature out of morrowind
They do, honestly. Reminds me of the netches a little bit.
Yep, not even one minute in and I'm subbing. This channel will quench my thirst for Elder Scrolls lore content.
I think they shouldn't bring every Creature into a actual Game or Depiction.
To have such a Description adds to what People would have in the Past, before we had Documentation for Everything, it just triggers your Imagination and brings Wonder into a unknown World.
I agree, it does add a bit of a mystical feeling to the world. I think it's still cool to shed some light on things like this, though.

Gnomes are technically also mentioned in tavern names too. But yeah they are still just as likely mythical.

Well done!
The man himself! You actually inspired me to make these! Thank you so much!
I got such a kick out of Cyrus being turned into a Gremlin. Especially its little voice emotes. Laloo!
I would say that Djinn are daedra, and the floaters look like they could be smaller netch
Just got through your four videos, and this stuff is the bomb! Keep it up
Thank you!
Great video my guy!
Hey there, awesome video! I think the music is just a notch too loud, but great anyways, thank you
Thank you! I have heard that complaint many times lol, future videos will definitely have better audio balance.
What a great video! And your channel is also amazing. You got a new sub.
Thank you!
I could def see cantaurs coming back in es6 with its large plains
Good video, but I wish you would have included some of the daedric monsters from Battlespire. You can even talk to them in game.
I did consider including them, but they all essentially boil down to different types of Daedra, and everybody knows about Daedra. I wanted to include really obscure monsters that most people hadn't heard of before.
This is great! Subscribed! :)
A lot of these are also in ESO
I was you 1000th like bro KEEP GOIN

Thank you! You are not the first to bring that complaint up lol, I am very much working on it.
In some interpretations, Kobolds could be considered another type of gnome or goblin.
From a modern lore perspective, it more likely than not should be considered a reference to goblins, but I still thought it was worth mentioning.
I love your videos, could you do one where you talk about obscure gods?
Working on it ;)

Awesome video :)
good video!
What about the mock turtle.
Cool video, my dude, is "Floater" just an alternative name for Bull Netches/Belly Netches?
As far as I can tell, they’re separate creatures, but perhaps they’re related in some way.

Kinda nice :)))
Interesting
Ahem
As per the custom
HOUSE DRES MENTIONED!
Brilliant vid
I really really hope one day in eso we will see some centaurs and imgas in valenwood. Seriously I get it designing is hard buy come on!
im glad the music is 10x louder than you
Which track is used at 2:40?
What about the Emperor Crab at Morrowind??
I did consider including the Emperor Crab, though I felt it wasn't quite obscure enough to include. That is a good suggestion though!
What is that game that has the umbra’keth as the final boss?
