    I actually think the "friend" sending you letters in Skyrim is Hermaeus Mora. He's the Daedric prince of knowledge and the only being in the game who could possibly know every time you use your shout. You can use it while out in the middle of nowhere, with no one around (even animals), and then get a letter about it. Add that to the fact that he wants you to become more and more powerful to then take care of his Miraak problem. Definitely Hermaeus Mora.

      I think it's one of the greybeards. One that decides doing their job (training the Dragonborn) is more important than their religious beliefs. Regardless if you help the Blades or not. Id like to think its Borri I've always gotten good vibes from him.

      @@Potatopatch yes, and they also know when you shout the first time you use unrelenting force. I'd imagine one of them doesn't agree with Arngeir, and is helping the Dragonborn in secret. There is a hole in this theory though, that the greybeards don't speak to anyone outside High Hrothgar. So how does he get the messages out? Maybe he just leaves them in the box where people bring them food? Idk

    Torture rooms in Bethesda games are a bit of a standard. You can find leather strips and bloody rags in a few places in Skyrim. Im pretty sure theres a version in Oblivion too. Edit. You saw you mentioned it.
    As for the letters being a gameplay mechanic to direct you to word walls, there's actually already another one. The Greybeards will just straight up tell you where to look. Seems weird to build two entirely separate ways of doing it.

    • @Outside85
      @Outside85 ปีที่แล้ว

      True... and its not like there is ever just one of them. Like in Skyrim, there is one for every legitimate prison, every cave or cellar with a vampire or cult in it seem to have a corner for it, some of your own bases come with them... and if I am not misremembering, the house you can buy in Winterfell was the scene of a bunch of grizzely murders.
      And in Fallout... history repeats since most of the raiders seem to torture people for fun if nothing else, plus you have the regular assortment of mass murdering weirdos to freak everyone else out.

    I'm gonna assume the missing princess side story is a reference to the real life Anastasia Romanov saga, the Russian princess who some believed escaped execution by the Bolsheviks. There were multiple people who all claimed to be her but later proved to be a hoax. Maybe that's why rockstar decided to leave it unresolved and lead nowhere, since that how it was in real life 🤷

    Regarding the Deus Ex one, if I remember it right then there were some hints in Human Revolution that Adam was the result of some kind of experimentation on children, which was also likely the reason why he didn't need medication to prevent his body from rejecting his augmentations. So it might be related to that plot point from the previous game

    I guess the friend sending letters in Skyrim are the blades, namely Delphine because the only other way to get shout locations is to ask the Grey Beards so it makes sense that the blades also do this and given their secretive nature it makes sense that Delphine sends anonymous letters to the Dragonborn. After all that is literally how she informs you that she stole the horn at the start of the game. Another reason why I think it's delphine is because she knew what was in bleak falls barrow, she knew how to find the dragon stone so it isn't a stretch to think she also knows about other locations related to Dragons. When you meet her later in Riverwood she also mentions that she was keeping an eye on the Dragonborn.

  • @Elysium_the_Bard
    @Elysium_the_Bard ปีที่แล้ว +55

    For number 7, while it's not outright said in game, all the evidence seems to point towards Delphine:
    1) Delphine is in hiding, due to her being a part of The Blades, who are actively being hunted by the Thalmor. This would explain why, even after she reveals her allegiance to you, she would continue to still call herself "A Friends" while sending a letter publicly via the courier.
    2) If you look at the map, that she has in her Riverwood secret room, pretty much all of the Word Wall locations are marked upon it.
    3) When you go to retrieve the horn of Windcaller, which leads directly to the Delphine revelation, there is a note that's signed by "A Friend"
    4) If you actually go to the Barrows AFTER talking to Whiterun's Farengar (the court mage), you actually can see a unique scene with a disguised Delphine talking to Farengar about studies on dragons.
    5) Continuing from #4, Farengar promises to pass any info along to her, implying that Delphine actually has some political influence, which would allow her to hear when there came news of a dragonborn. or when/where they shouted.

      I've heard it could be hermaeus mora. Since he does know almost every secret of the universe, and he's the only person who could be constantly watching you. He's probably helping you in order to convince you into becoming his servant(he tells you this by directly confronting you in both the dragonborn and the dawngaurd dlc questlines). I honestly have no clue though. Maybe we will find out one day.

      I've always assumed that the Word Wall letters came from the Greybeards on the Throat Of The World as you can hear them shout when they summon you to them so surely they would also hear you shout and also know the locations of the Word Walls

      @Elysium_the_Bard ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@Turkeynaut I also heard it could be Hermaeus Mora, specifically I think I heard it from either EpicNate or Camelworks, but - in my opinion - Hermaeus Mora is probably the least likely of the 3 that were listed as contenders.
      For one, all the times we've seen Hermaeus Mora contact the Dragonborn in Skyrim, he's appeared directly to the Dragonborn, rather than doing such a round about way of sending letters to them.
      For another, sending letters and being friendly in order to trick said person in order to gain something seems more in line with Clavicus Vile or Boethia. Hermaeus Mora doesn't seem like the type to do that, but rather just take advantage of the situation that they are given.
      Yet another, while Hermaeus Mora IS capable of contacting people and speaking in a way that they understand, the texts that they seem to write, the black books, or at least the tomes that are made available to read in Hermaeus Mora's realm, don't seem to be actually capable of being actually read or understood via normal means. This MIGHT pose a problem to them penning a letter that not only the Dragonborn has to read, but also a poor (possibly trans-dimensional and omnipotent) messenger has to read and deliver.
      ...but, I gotta say, I do have a chuckle at the image of Hermaeus Mora penning a letter with his tendrils. Do you think he uses his own ink?

    • @Elysium_the_Bard
      @Elysium_the_Bard ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@glasgowdude1988 The biggest problem I have with the Greybeards being the ones who penned the letters is that they have no actual reason to keep their identities secret, at least enough to just identify themselves as just "a friend" both before AND after introducing themselves to you. While they keep themselves isolated from people, they don't keep themselves actually hidden from them. People know about them, where as the Blades have been presumed to have been eradicated - giving a reason for a need for an anonymous approach both before and after an introduction is made.
      Also, while there IS a Greybeard who does teach you locations for word walls, while the Blades strangely do not (unless you count the letters themselves), it is only AFTER you ally yourselves with the Greybeards over the Blades. Plus, while they seem fairly eager to teach those with the Thu'um, Ulfric Stormcloak being a student of theirs for a time, they seem to be very selective as to who they will actually teach and for what reason, again Ulfric Stormcloak USED to be a student of theirs. So I do not see them being ones to pen letters, especially to Thu'um users, before they even know the user's intentions.

    For the Skyrim "a friend" after finishing it and replaying I wasn't satisfied with the idea of Delphine knowing enough and being able to know all of these dark locations.
    The best solution I could come up with was Pathurnax. He wants to be a friend and wants Alduin defeated. He has lived long enough and has enough knowledge to know where all the locations would be without necessary being able/needing to go there himself. The Blades would have gained so much by making expeditions to those places but they almost never do?
    So yeah, Pathurnax has one of the Greybeards write and send the letter to where HE knows where the Dragonborn is going. He has enough power to probably follow the dragonborn (spy) from afar the moment the first shout is heard ^^

      That's also probably the most reasonable "the Greybeards" explanation, as Partysnax cares a lot more about the Dragonborn's success than the other Greybeards. He's almost certainly the one most willing to deviate from the Way of the Voice's whole "don't give the Thu'um to people who will use it for battle" thing.
      Although he wouldn't be following the Dragonborn, he never leaves the Throat of the World, it's basically self-imposed solitary confinement for him.

    For Deus Ex- Mankind Divided. The story as it is told kind of points that the character you play as is not the real Jensen. Sarif tells you that your Aug's have serial numbers attached to them, and so when you find that your current Aug's do not have them, (or they were never found) it points that Jensen has something else going on.
    Also the stuff for the Juggernaut collective seems to point that you are not the same Jensen you were in the past.
    Lastly in the TF29 many dialogues you are said to be a bit a different a couple of times, and Chang even admits that he thinks you are a mole (which you are), but he is still willing to trust you.

Despite the game looking nice and friendly it has tons of lore involving dark pasts like human sacrifices, demon summoning and such. One of these that hasn't been solved is the head maid at the Dawn Winery location that if you listen to the other maids conversation talk about footsteps when no one's around, a hidden room, and guests coming in but not being seen coming out and it all somehow being connected to the head maid of the building. When you talk to her about a specific topic she will mention the meat they serve and how it's "normal" while chuckling to herself.

But she likes to keep up the urban legend of her being a cannibal serial killer as a cover for her nocturnal activities because it just sounds so ridiculous and implausible and it throws people off Diluc's trail. She's basically the Alfred to Diluc's Batman.

It's possible it's a reference of the partner telling the person to stay in the place of the meeting where the person will be save while the partner looks for the City Hunter.
    It's fitting since it's Pokemon X and Y and the rumored Z would've probably resolved the mystery.

    The Skyrim letters spell it out in-game, and have common sense gameplay reasons, there's no mystery unless you intentionally misinterpret.
    The letters say that "Not everyone is anxious for the Dragonborn's return" because you're literally a god-given ruler who is going around picking factions to support. Random civilians hear your shouts & work to help you, but each stay anonymous to protect themselves, signing "A friend" (a common pseudonym btw) to make it clear they're on your side. Gameplay wise, it's a Radiant AI quest with a chance to pop every time you shout in public, & they don't want to break immersion by naming a character who couldn't be there.
    As for the locations, they say "I understand the Dragonborn can unlock the power here" because they're sharing urban legends and myths. It'd be the same as saying "I hear you can rule England if you pull the sword from this stone." You've never been there or seen anyone do it, but we all know the story & could share it with a hero of legend. Just maybe don't sign your name in case the current contenders disagree.

    In regards to the first entry on this list. I've heard speculation that the quest involving the missing Princess was cut because another company thought that her likeness was too close to a popular female protagonist and that they shared a voice actress. For contractual reasons they removed basically all of the quest except the remnants of what we see, and it was too late in the development cycle to change models/ voice actors/ retool the story.

      Not that modeling is super easy but changing the model of this one character should have been. Tweak the nose, raise a brow, etc.
      Even then wouldn't something like that be caught after the fact?
      Also the model doesn't really look unique enough to scrap all that work over just the face. As in I don't know what this popular female protagonist she looks like.

    I actually figured out the Skyrim shouts ones! After a point, if you go back to High Hrothgar and speak to the Greybeard leader (I forget how to spell his name), asking him about these mysterious letters, he will admit to being the sender! And from that point on, the word wall letters WILL be from him! The courier will still say he's not sure who from, just said he was a friend, but yeah.
    And that brings the question of why the courier is just visiting High Hrothgar so often....

  • @louiemarks8501
    @louiemarks8501 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I've stopped trying to think about who the "friend" is in Skyrim. My last character got a letter from his first shout, at Western Watchtower, after you bring down your first dragon. "oh!" You say. "the friend must be someone who was there for that! Maybe Irileth, or a guard?" No. Because I fast travelled from Western Watchtower to Whiterun, elapsed time maybe five minutes, and the messenger approached me IMMEDIATELY. Nobody who was there in the flesh, would've had time to write the note, hire a messenger and have him deliver it, and if they did, it's way less trouble to just tell me where the damn word was. It's an Aedra/Daedra, that's really the only way it makes sense. Not to mention, half the time you're five miles underground when you use a shout that somehow, your friend knows about. I'm wondering if "a friend" might be an anagram for one of the (D)Aedra, that would make a bit of sense.

    Regarding "Control", the motel doesn't always transport you to a different location within the Oldest House. Just off the top of my head I can think of three instances where motel traversal results in physical changes within the area in which you gained access to the motel. For example, when trying to gain access to the Hotline, traversing the motel will make a bridge appear, allowing you to cross over to where the telephone is kept.

    that Mankind Divided Jensen thing, I have an idea, he is about 90% augmentations, and VersaLife, I think is the one behind it all, so maybe that's all it is, his augs (as they call them in the game) on a model of him. It's not really him per-se but a realistic mannequin that looks like him. plus remember his buddy had to get the same augs to repair and replace now and again somehow so why not from the manufacturer itself? and as we learned in the game, he was an experimental candidate for some high grade ones. And his friend was always kind of sketchy as to where he got them, the mob could have gotten them directly from the place itself, they seem to all be connected.

  • @dowfreak7

    The paleblood thing in Bloodborne makes more sense when looked at slightly differently. Not as an item or thing to find, but as something to attain. Like "seeking fame" doesn't mean you find a famous person, it means you strive to be famous.
    Paleblood is just celestial god blood. The doll has it, because Gehrman knows what the dream is, but Willem also has it and he's literally growing alien bits, with his brain maybe kinda actually having "ascended".
    Reason you need paleblood to "transcend" the hunt is that the hunt is implied to simply go on and repeat constantly. And since it's caused by humans who invited celestial beings into their mids, the only thing that can disrupt the dreams and the blood-drunkenness and the change and the sickness, is a god itself.
    Which you do become at the end, when you eat the three cords and break the dream all hunters embark from. Essentially could rephrase it as: "Stop the endless hunt by becoming god".

    I think the RDR2 quest was an allude to Princess Anastasia, how people were looking for her, and how she was never found. I know RDR2 is set before the Russian Revolt so its just a nod to it. Honestly I wasn't going to think anything of it until the model was shown. The reward poster has her at 13 or younger whereas the model makes her look early-to-mid twenties which is kind of how the actual events unfolded. Sadly we did learn Anastasia's fate: she and her young brother were killed and buried further away from the rest of her family. Took almost 100 years to find that out.
