So we’re all in agreement the knight should 100% be the main character
Eso 6 finna be him
Exatamente
Weirdly, the knight is actually somewhat similar to how I’m doing my most recent play though of Oblivion: sword wielding, heavy armor, and a Breton, only difference it that mines a spell sword, but it was still neat
Yes
Not knowing a single thing I hoped the he was playable
The kicker is that the knight isn't doing some fancy bullshit. He's actually doing swordplay to an extent and it's so cool to watch this
No magic, just skill. He did use a ward against the elf, but that was more of a block.
@Jon Baxter nah there was no magic involved, if you look he used the pommel and crossguard of his sword to guide her arm up and then uses his hand to point her spell back at her.
Its really fucking cool
It's more than the swordplay as well, he's a master of hand to hand and can even disarm a man who is a good portion larger then beat him unconscious
the fact is he's so incredibly strong but the way they animated this fight with the slow, heavy movements makes it believable
hope he wins
I also really like how the 3 didnt take turns. No they surrounded him, tried to sync their attacks, and did everything you're supposed to as a group vs one guy. And it just didn't matter
I mean it's dope af but is he really broke a two-handed axe handle with just a fist strike? He even struck the metallic part no-less.
He beats the Rogue with Dexterity, Wizard with Magic and the Barbarian with Strength!
That is an absolute unit right there.
If only he used magic, lol
@@uberpwner48
Breton swordmasters use enchantments on their equipments
BUT
they're as dangerous without their equipments
@@budakbaongsiahalways thought them Breton is short
@@joeslendeer75
canonically most of them are, but it's kinda nonsense how a mixed race between the tallest mer and a standard-sized men would produce the shortest men
Getting hit with gauntlets is not fun.
On a rewatch the choreography is actually kinda genius. When he’s surrounded at the start his first move is immediately to get them all on one side. Then he focuses on disabling them so it turns into a series of 1v1 fights rather than a 1v3. Massive credit to the animators and choreographers.
Thank you 🙏🏽 had a great team behind it all
Yeah it's when their all around him that he falls apart and even then he was still doing pretty good,
Absolutely. The animators would have poured over hundreds of hours of longsword videos to get this done right. I can't remember any other movie or cutscene that has done sword fight such a right blend pragmatic sword fighting as well as cinematic flair
as a 1200 hour mordhau player, It helps a lot to do this otherwise you're fucked. Im decent at it and even I fight dudes who are literally the knight to me and they aint cheating besides using an extra chromosome.
Totally agree. Devs also did a great job conveying the consequences of wearing armor like the knight's. You can tell he's slowed by it but he also takes advantage of it really well.
Don't lie, EVERYONE was rooting for that knight.
Yeah and in my opinion he won that fight
That knight freaking won the 1v3, that's my GOAT!!!!
@@dieformanise2838 He was great but he still got crushed a floor down, wouldn't consider that winning.
@Agent C He didn't die either, though! Dude's burnin for Round 2 🔥 🔥
@@agentc7020 For all we know he may have just been buying time so he may have successfully did his goal
They look so proud like they didn’t almost get soloed. They had to drop an entire fricking bridge on him.
and he still survived😂😂
He won hand to hand combat with tank, won close fight with rouge (having great sword being so close isn't good) and landed more successful magic attack than mage. I would also be proud putting down that beast
@@Just_a-guyHe didn't use magic. Watch again, he makes her hit herself with her own spell.
@@mespn520 I never said he used magic. I said he landed more successful magic attack :p Which is true even if he didnt make spell he directed it ^^
@@mespn520 LoL fr didnt saw it thx
I searched "The Badass Knight" and this was the first video that got recommended.
Im satisfied.
LOL
I did the same
I’ve spent WEEKS looking for this video, for THAT badass alone
I searched “that one elder scrolls online trailer”, first result
tbh i searched "knight defeats 3 main characters", was not disapointed... by much
I search "knight 1v3" lol

"I bought the whole sword, imma use the whole sword"
The only correct way to use a sword. That's why it's a sword, not a blade
As it should be
This comment got me good 😂
Its so great to finally see a great sword being used optimally in a video game.
@@Alveonadra not quite optimal, but way better than how it was used for decades in media
My boy really said "Get that goofy ass magic out my face."
Facts he was like “Git better scrub.”
the funniest comment so far😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Reflect Magic 100%
When you hit him with that dollar store spell 🗿
That last part of him balling his fist... "I DIDN'T HEAR A BELL!"
So Randy Marsh Pilled
Reminds me of the Black Knight from Monty Python’s Holy Grail
That spell counter is the most badass thing i ever seen in a videogame trailer
More badass than the old republic trailers?
@@suscrow661Honestly, yeah.
They may be fucking sick, and Satele throwing the sith on the respirator through a mountain is pure hype (as is deflecting the grenades coming his way in another trailer).
But I'll be honest, no single moment in there matches the ability to fucking PARRY MAGIC WHILE IT'S IN THE HAND!!
@@buddermonger2000he parried magic, with his HAND. He didn’t use a parry spell or something magic himself. He just put his hand over an explosions
@@buddermonger2000 I think we can all agree that Bethesda and BioWare fucking COOKED with their MMO trailers.
Love that everyone collectively agrees that “nameless knight” was the true hero of this video
I know nothing about ESO online lore but this knight gives me some ebony warrior vibes! What a badass
Because he is him
And here is the like number 666
Im sorry but i hope he will win against the three dudes
The bretons will never falls!!
The man punched the Nord with nothing but hate after he stabbed him with his own sword. Never have I seen a trailer where we root for the unknown warrior like this guy.
He literally outpowered a nord while being the shortest race😂(well idk how these bretons knight got taller). Like they are the most disadvantaged race for physical prowess
Maybe he enchance himself with strength spell
@@joserijalkasyasyaf9723 He's wearing legendary relic armor and stands under divine protection. He's basically a demi god in lore.
Also, breton knights as a whole are extremely formidable opponents thanks to their combination of high discipline, martial prowess and strategic knowhow. They're the imperial army in smaller but more elite.
@@dektarey4024 who is this guy? I don't really know much about Elder Scrolls lore
@@revanf3719 He's the Ascendant Lord. Knight Commander of the Ascendant Order.
That Knight had the power of what actual heavy armor can do when used properly and knowing how to fight with every part of himself
His weapon was taken away, he broke the other's weapon and PUNCHED him down. This knight is a legend.
Not a necromancer, a daedric lord, a vampire lord, or a werewolf, just a man with an idea and training taking all three of them on.... And winning.
This is the video I show new DnD players when they say fighters are weak.
@@warlockish8362 if you’re the dm, you’re a good dm
@@warlockish8362 agreed, i agree they are basic... but very effective. they are one of the most versatile martials in the game with so much room for customization for what they want to be able to excel at.
@@warlockish8362 Well fighters can't do half the shit the knight does in this video. Disrupting spellcasting in melee, even redirecting the spell towards the caster? ain't a thing. Breaking the bonds of a chain magic with raw strength? Nope hold person is wisdom save.
I do recommend adding some items to make up the diff.
@@warlockish8362 The only people who are saying fighters are weak are inexperienced players or they are playing an off edition. Fighters are really slept on for DnD simply because they take more brainpower than a Barbarian.
At the end of the fight he sat like a king even when he lost
Survived it too, if you watch till the end you'll see him clenching his left fist
Honestly, it reminded me of the knight that died freeing you in the first Dark Souls game.
You have a link to that? @@Dripx-
bro is on a mission after that.@@rotzloffel
@@FilthyReddsjust look it up yourself it’s at the start of the game like 5 minutes in. it’s not that special though,he just throws a corpse that’s carrying a key down to you in a cell and frees you like that then like 3 minutes later hes dying from rubble, however it’s worth noting he was supposed to have a questline, basically he was supposed to be your rival for the whole game but it was cut from the game. I think his name is Oscar. Hes honestly kinda forgettable since he’s in the game like a total of 5 minutes.
Even at the end, he falls down and it feels like he's sitting on a throne! Badass!
1:14 i like how the knight doesnt rest after the fight, but instead he makes sure everyone is dead by throwing them of the edge
Yeah, when he grabbed the Nord and started dragging him my first thought was, "Hmmm, let's see if the Nord can fly..."
Instead of just stabbing them nice and good with his sword
@@longbow3082it's called pride. Swords are for fighting not killing.
There is something so incredibly epic about a single nameless knight npc facing down three player characters and doing so with absolute ease.
YOU you take THAT BACK the only reason i will buy this game will be to that knight disciple
@@criticaconstructivaparamej1072 what?
@@cassetteman4829
how dare you say 'what' to his demand you player character twat. Bow before the nameless npc knight.
@@cassetteman4829he wants to be the follower of medieval chuck norris, not fight chuck norris
And the knife ear attempts magic...only to BEGONE.
Nameless knight was the true hero we needed all along. My man's was holding it down against three main characters and was winning. What an absolute unit.
ikr? the dude is an absolute unit. btw he's the Ascendant Lord
@@whatt He can be the next main character in Elder Scrolls 6 I don't mind, man is badass.
@@Thenchresleth I can totally stand behind this
See I feel like the Bretons is going to say something racist about my Argonian Character hahaha 😂😂😂
I love how he just had enough of the nords shit after being stabbed and just one shot him
One thing i love that shows the knights skill is the way he uses his sword. Its clearly really heavy and slows him down quite a bit, but he more tham makes up for it by utilizing careful timing and angles, which is really cool to see.
I seriously love how the knight has to actually contend with all three of them at once, especially at the start, and how he disorients them in order to have a easier time in the fight.
No matter how you look at it, the knight is the hero in this scene. He is just doing his best to defend his keep. HOW are we supposed to root for the trio who gang up on him just to BARELY survive?
And they didn't even kill him either, he's about to get on his recipe on these mfs when he gets up 😭
I'm pretty sure he invaded the keep and killed some nobles or monks or whatever, inside.
Yeah, he's actually an invader trying to keep the war going as a chaos agent, can't remember why but he definitely isn't the hero even though he's awesome.
Homeboy fought a 3v1 and only lost because that big bitch sucker stabbed him and the cutscene teleported him under the arch (seriously, he's leagues away from it in the preceding scene).
I don't play this game but from just from this scene and it's value he is presented like how you would usually present a hero:
1. Fights against greater odds
2. Fights in honorable way, no dirty tricks
3. Doesn't run even when he has opportunity, he stands his ground
Imagine: you are a trio of protagonists who fought overwhelming odds for so long
You encounter ONE knight with a greatsword, plate armor, and that is all
He wipes the floor with all three of you AT THE SAME TIME
He even breaks your Nord's weapon WITH HIS HAND and shrugs off your magic
And the only way you manage to win is by attacking in the back and making him fall through a roof
And even then you didn't even kill him
This knight is the new protagonist confirmed, the old ones are becoming trash
The knight survived? Damn!
"All that for a drop of blood?"
@@johnnk3256You didn’t see him clench his fist at the end?
Their DM picked a favourite so they survived
I mean... Aside from the magic thing, he's a great big bugger wearing the medieval equivalent of a challenger tank. He's essentially almost invulnerable, and that's BEFORE we action in plot armour.
Bethesta, you all know we need more of that knight! The way he fights are just flawless.. instant hit !
OMG!! What skill!! The way he parried the mage, using her own spell against her was badass!! ❤❤❤
It's amazing that that's only like the third coolest thing he does
Don't forget, in the cinematic he SURVIVES, at the end he makes a fist and just gets back up
"Tis but a scratch"
Imagine seeing this knight again
He would RIP AND TEAR you apart
I would like to believe the knight only got knocked out, what if thr knight is mear a solo player like Skyrims own batman lol
@@EeeeeeEeeeee-ns5um He does show up again in a new trailer.
It’s just a flesh wound
@@4sakend1where
bro got stabbed and his first response was right hook
A mean one at that, hit him with the sweet science
the look on his face was "oh no you didn't..." (smack)
lol and the tank was like "NOT THE FAC--GAAHHHH!"
@@KhaosBreathercould almost hear him mutter "you bitch" under his breath
The sound it made was incredible
Holy smoke, what a fight scene. That knight was so badass I was actually rooting for him. That's a character who deserves his own story.
The girl: try to counter my magic
Knight: Bet
Not only does he win the 1v3, but he didn't kill any of them when he could've easily defeated him. He was clearly the hero here
Nah, he was trying to throw the Nord off the roof, which is the only thing that keeps me from believing he's the good guy
alphateam is right, he was about to throw the guys off the roof. Give this man an arc and have him join up with the party.
@@thenecrodancer4833 unfortunately, for him to join the party, he'd either outshine all the other members or get a nerf, causing us to lose admiration for him. Best case scenario, he becomes an ally and occasionally helps them from time to time, or dies in a glorious last stand, killing dozens of enemies before going down surrounded by those he's killed.
@@alphateam6580 There are so many instances he could've decapitated them and go full for honor on these guys, but he went for knock outs
@@Joseph-mw2rl Not really, every time he swung directly at them to kill, they parried the attack. There were two opportunities I noticed, but for him to do so, he'd have to do some awkward maneuver like pulling his sword up (down?) the length of the blade, and the blow could be deflected fairly simply by the defender bringing his sword up and then ducking, although maybe I missed the kill opportunity you're talking about
Can't even lie, I was completely rooting for him. They just met the main character and were surprised it wasn't them
Breton supremacy
Can't wait til they meet a Redguard Swordmaster.
This Breton was a hard counter to the usual "heavy hitter" elf witch. Then the Nord caught those hands. Want the Rogue to get his day in the sun.
He is far and away the best swordsman of the trio but he's always stomped out in the cinematics.
@@nathanbrown8196 Yea it kinda pisses me off how the Rogue keeps getting beaten up by everyone and so the other two get to shine. Even in his duel against the Nord, he was not even that much of a threat.
@@Meshifuari
Yeah... but you could tell he was the better fighter. Just that power gap...
@@nathanbrown8196 Yea which is super irritating. It's like he's the most skilled but his skills are being ovepowered.
First at lich who turned him into undead, then by Nord who has beaten him up and now by Breton who shrugged his attacks off.
Him making the fist at the end made me so happy. Bethesda better bring him in a game as the most unbeatable boss
🎵Someday, love will find you. Break those chains that bind you.🎵
My favorite part about this is how they've made the knight's punches seem lethal
He's ascended, pretty much demigod. You can imagine his fist to the face is like a bus ramming straight into your skull, the fact any of them are alive is testimony of their OP legendary gear and skill in fighting previous foes and even then he literally stomped them at ease, dude is insane.
He is also a Breton Knight so he is likely trained to kick someone's ass.
Coming from the expert at taking mailed punches here I guess….?
@@voodoo1506 what are you talking about
@@voodoo1506 Aspie comment
I really like how The Nord, Breton and elven sorceress went from leaders of enemy factions to dnd party
😂😂😂😂 this
High level battlemaster fighter vs barbarian, rogue, and ranger or hexblade warlock
No, they are just paid thugs. Never being faction leaders for a single day.
@@Super50ldier I know it's ESO I'm making a d&d reference like op said
A battle master, an assassin, and a bladesinger walk up to the boss fight
The scene when he gets up from the blast and smoke fading from his armour is most badass scene for a knight
0:55 Parry this you filthy knight
*Gets parried*
I love this knight guy. He just has plate armor and a longsword and he still squares off against three powerful adversaries by himself.
Skyforge steel that's why
That is an montane
Greatsword
Common misconception tho
@@enigmaprime6789wouldn’t this be a zweihander? It looks exactly like one and has the extra grip above the hand guard
@@enigmaprime6789 In spain the montante is the same as the zweihander
When he fights the Breton, he's quick and underhanded.
When he fights the Nord, he's deliberate and powerful.
When he "fights" the Elf, he knows how to reflect the magic onto her.
This Knight is clever.
I mean he is Breton and he is a knight so... If you enhance your body with magic then Nord's strength becomes regular strength.
Doesn't just reflect the magic. He uses his hand to push hers down. Closing her fingers is like clogging a pipe. There's only one way it will go. Back to the source.
@@shawnhuff7304thx for explaining what he did to her my guy, it was all so fast.
He is a Breton knight. In lore, a Breton prince with knightly training bested a mighty Redguard king in single combat.
Breton knights are probably the epitome of their race, just like the Tongues are the peak of Nord power.
@@miguelcondadoolivar5149 Nice to see a fantasy race that's good at magic and not be total pushovers physically.
He really was like:
"Oh you're approaching me"
"I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer"
I love the camerawork and fight coreography in the combat scenes. That knight is hot as hell.
Bro I don't even play ESO I'm only here for the insane cinematics.
I am the same with Old Republic trailers as they are made by the same studio.
SAME
Same!
Same
Yep. Can't really stand any mmo but I love these trailers.
Let's be real, most of us like how the knight went against 3 of them on his own.
I want a game about him, the man is badass.
And gave all of the business end of a can of whoopass, yuh
He is deadass making this game look like a D&D combat encounter
All because of the knight
@@charlesmorey4298 Thats how a DnD bossfight should be. No minions, no traps. Just one big guy, the party, and one big can of whopass.
Yeah. He really was like prioritizing the Nord first because he was the heavy hitter.
Вот это рыцарь. Слов нет😮.
Это паладин 🤓
Nah, just a Knight - no holy powers, no prayer to a god, just pure training and determination.
Blud was laying in the rubble like he was sitting on a throne 🔥
She went for a spell and said "parry this you filthy casual" and he said "easily"
What a badass
I think somebody somewhere said he was a Breton and that they have a resistance to magic, so that would give him an edge
Parry this, aight bet
ite a "get good" moment really
-Git gud!
-Ez
@@thebighurt2495but he did not "resist" it. He twisted her arm and made her blast herself with her own spell. That's METAL.
This isn’t just flashy to be impressive, the technical skill of this knight is insane, using every aspect of his weapon to gain as much advantage as possible
“I hath paid for the whole sword, I shall use the whole sword”
Yes
Yes
Indeed I mean the man literally used every attack of his they blocked or countered to attack whoever was in the direction his blade was repelled I’d say he was very skilled and very aware of the people in his surroundings
He feels like "Champion Gundyr" of DS3. Fighting without magic, gimmick, or other fancy stuff. Only using his physical skill and sheer will.
i still come back to watch this its fking amazing .
he did not falter, he did not yield, he did not fall, he did not lose, and most importantly he did not die, the knight was truly a true warrior, unlike the three misfits
i love how he didnt just use the blade of his sword he used the handle, the pommel, and even his fist
If only the Fists of Steel perk in Skyrim was like that.
Knights actually used the handle mainly against armored opponents
And the crossguard to block a spell!
That's how people were actually fighting. All those "honorable fights" on battlefield and just using sword blades only? Nope, all moves are allowed, so hitting with crossguard or pommel was normal thing. And punches or kicks.
It's not just a sword, it's a big metal object.
The cinematics are literally 10 times better than the actual game.
Honestly! The game is straight poo poo
more like 1000x
They usually are for most games.
It's not a bad game at all.
I have dedicated many hours to it and they never sent me a mission to collect 10 plants or kill 10 wild boars just because. Everything has history. Pvp is fun, and dungeon PVE can be quite challenging.
@@nada476 I really wish youtube had a laugh react button because, buddy. You are a comedian.
Bro, even after he died, that knight was sitting like a god
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a good long while. I've never in my life expected to see someone wield a 2-handed sword with anything aproaching _technique!_
For people wondering:
The Knight was the Ascendant Lord - not just a random knight but the leader of the Ascendant Order. Dude is a badass.
No wonder why he was able to fight the 3 without a sweat
I’m so glad I pre ordered this so I can get his armor
So did he die or..?
@@hellonearthiii4671 his hand moved at the end of the trailer so i doubt it
Yeah ngl I was like 1 knight is this badass???
The Knight's sitting posture among the ruins was like sitting on the Throne. So badass !
Hopefully, they'll consider a crossover collaboration with Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings!
Even in death he remains a total badass
he is ten times cooler in death tan we will ever be in life
Reminded me of DS1
@@pug-aloentertainment3801death...?
I don't play ESO and the trailer popped up as an ad. I genuinely thought he was the protagonist until I saw another short talking about this badass random knight 😂
He won our hearts, because a had a sword. *A big fucking sword*
This fight choreography is way too good to just be for some game expansion trailer.
MMO cinematics tend to do that, look at the others for this game and the fights in the SWTOR trailers
Cause it’s a cinematic. It is supposed to be that good
Need a animated es series on god
@@EP_mc that would be super nice. especially in this style. But it is far too expensive to make a series like this apparently it cost 6 million dollars just to make a 3 min cinematic like this and then 6+ months to produce it. If anyone were to do a cinematic series at this level they would be at a massive loss, but it would be amazing.
It's Blur Studio my man, what do you expect? I've not seen anything made by them be bad.
They really made that Knight feel as Clever as the elf, fast and skilled as the Breton and as strong as the Nord.
The way he changed tactics when facing each one was just great to watch.
I'd argue my only critic was that he didn't keep them close and under pressure which was probably how he ended up on the roof in the first place. Had he kept them all under assault-which he could- the party would've been killed.
Very satisfying to watch. Breaks a few tropes... love that!
Dude was like thanos when he first took on the avengers lol
@@TheNapster153
That only works If you're not alone, and not fighting what appears to be some of the most dangerous combatants in the land.

So basically your average Chad Imperial.
Bro soloed 3 of them, got stab and have them fall a bridge to his ass and still come up alive. What a absolute unit.
This is how I imagine my Skyrim character fighting off those Mercenaries that show up randomly.
Hired thugs: "Were here to teach you a lesson."
Me, a college mage: "Ok"
Hired thugs: "DONT TAKE THINGS THAT DONT BELONG TO YOU!"

Pretty much.
@@HHLucifer666 nice steel armour, I bet they’d look better on me

I like how his reaction to being skewered by his own two hander through armor is to knock the assailant out with a single punch.
😂😂😂
"stay down bitch"
God I fuck with that energy so hard
And what the fuck is he supposed to do? Let himself get skewered more?
I laughed so hard there. His eyes were like, "Oh you bitch, how dare you?!" Give him a hook right to the face 😂
This man was sitting on that rubble from that bridge like a king👑
I sometimes wish we could get these games with same level of graphics as these trailers have for CG and animation. Having a full ES game in this quality, and to have the music be this awesome would just be the greatest thing ever. I know the song is just reused from older games, but being slowed down, slightly bass boosted and a little deeper in tone for the cinematic, but god damn, I vibe to this version.
I know who I'm "supposed" to be rooting for, but that knight is just too badass for me to not want to see him come out on top
This knight looks more like the main character than the mains characters himself.
Nah you're definitely supposed to root for the knight. Lmao
@@zuriel6612 yeah, I haven't played this xpack yet or seen anymore but from what I gather from the few cinematics , people are invading? not sure
He’ll probably end up an ally too or maybe have a twin. I mean, our rogue was basically Molag Bal’s thrall at the beginning.
I felt the same way. The knight is too cool to not root for. Vikings, Magic Elves, and Assassins have been done to death not to mention two are not heroes in real life/history and one doesn’t even exist in real life/history. Knights actually existed and most were heroes.
My favorite part of this is how the knight's fighting style is historically accurate! And he doesn't waste movement with flashy unnecessary spins and attacks, but everything is efficient and precise.
And somehow being less showboaty and more realistic makes it somehow flashier than if he was to spin the blade for intimidation points
And how he uses the pommel as a secondary offense, when his sword is the other way around, he'd use the pommel to attack weak points that his hand can read, beautiful choreography
Why do people always care so much whenever fantasy media has unrealistic elements. We just saw a Elf-human hybrid shoot green lightning from her fingertips and you’re happy about slow moving attacks
AS A KNIGHT SHOULD BE!
Is this sarcasm, no like seriously
Bro was like, "I paid for the whole sword, i'm gonna use the whole swords."
Still a classic even now. The "Seriously Screw that Guy" expression on everyone's faces after looking down to just make sure he wasn't getting up like some god damned terminator really sells just how they're in the "How did we jump this guy 3v1 and still get rocked this hard?"
They were likely quick to unanimously agree to never ever talk about this again.
Though, I'm absolutely certain that the Nord will break this agreement, but his retelling of the events will be thoroughly contrary to how it all went down.
Nord: 'So we've all got concussions, i think I've got two, there's only a dagger between the three of us now, you *points at the elf*... by the gods how is your spine not broken? I'm amazed we survived.'
Rogue: 'You're gonna brag about this at the inn-'
Nord: 'Absolutely'
Best comment thread on this entire page.
Bro is still alive too lol.
they was like: "he's not that bad"
after getting bodied! 😂😂
Best part of this is how accurate the swordplay is in this. Greatswords like the knight was using were designed to deal with multiple attackers at once. Notice how the knight was using every bit of that weapon to counter, parry, reposte, and even steady himself when needed during the entire fight. Someone did their research.
It's also impressice how the Nord uses his axe the right way, hooking the knight 2 times one his leg and the other his weapon
The most accurate was the magic. The mage combat was true to historical records.
Greatswords were terribly ineffective and their Knight association is almost purerly fictional. It was more of a ceremonial weapon than an actual battlefield weapon.
It did saw some use at the German side of the world but that was about it.
Great swords were used pretty regularly in Europe as both body guards and small divisions of shock troops that saw effective use against pike lines, I don’t know what you’re on about
@@arionell Incorrrect. Greatswords were effective against heavy armor and even more against unarmored or lightly armored peasants. They were also used by knights mostly as they were expensive and required years of training to use.
Peasants were using spears as they were cheap and required 30 second instructions.
Damn at the end of the fight he sat like a king on a throne even though he lost
Lost? they got lucky. he beat them like eggs for an omlette and was about to add the cheese.
Since he has kind of become the patron saint for DnD Fighters, let me tell you who the “nameless knight NPC” actually is. He is known as the Ascendant Lord, leader of a plot to assassinate the three top leaders of the alliances during a peace conference and main villain of the High Isle storyline.
I have never seen someone use a heavy sword so efficiently to even use the hilt to attack, very impressive
im positive that 1) his sword is based off a irl sword amd 2) he uses relatively accurate to history
those aren't really heavy, last i check swords at that length should be around 5lbs or 2-3kg
@thecommentguy9380 I believe claymores range between 4 to 8lbs. Still a lot to be swinging around effortlessly like that
@@thecommentguy9380weight at distance is what makes it heavy take a 8-10 lb hammer and hold from one end
@@dreadpiratedan4664 It was extremely good choreography especially compared to most fantasy swordfights but still not that realistic. Most of the attacks are still vastly over-swung for dramatic effect (I was surprised the Nord wasn't hitting his teammates with the axe swings at the beginning). Real sword techniques are even more efficient and less weighty because real swords do not weigh more than like 10 pounds at the highest end. If swords really did weigh like 20 pounds, the fighting style might make sense.
Nothing more satisfying than seeing the “nameless knight” willingly turn his back on his enemies and giving them free attacks on him. Outstanding
I mean, that's the point of plate armor so you can shrug off attacks and be more reckless
@@powahpower2463 wasn't very good though since apparently a sword can go straight through the middle of it
@@PandaCake978 because the person who was directing this doesn't know how plate armour functions
@@susamogus5693 you could argue it's bullshit able by just saying the Nord was having something akin to an adrenaline rush which somehow gave him the strength to pierce the armour. Still bullshit but better than nothing.
If you even paid half attention you'd realize that he was not only fighting the high elf but the last time he looked at the Nord he was out cold, same with the rogue.
even in death, he sits on a throne of glory
nvm I watched the scene after the game title shows and that mf SURVIVED
My man Knight was like _"I'm not locked up in here with you; You are locked up in here with ME!"_
I love, love, LOVE the heft they gave his sword. Instead of making its weight a nonissue, they built his fighting style around it, and you can actually SEE him using the whole weapon, not just the blade! INCREDIBLE.
It actually makes him MORE formidable and intimidating too, since you can see him lightly jab the one guy in the liver with it, and you can BELIVE it hurt (like getting lightly hit with a bus!). And of course, disarming him doesn't mean he is any less physically powerful!
WOW!
Also in the initial clash you can see he slammed his big sword down on the rogue's little sword so hard the rogue had to stop to check that his wrists arent broken 😂
He did break an axe handle with a karate chop.
@@pantherowow77 The Knights a man. You can hear his voice in the trailer or look up "Ascendant Lord".
And then you get to the actual game. Now heft, just swinging around boring gameplay imo
Chaos Astartes: Your days are numbered, Corpse Follower!
Lore Custodes:This isn't the f*cking tabletop Traitor.
I would be completely comfortable with bringing him back as a main character
I'm happy that everybody watching this including myself was rooting for the knight the entire time
nameless knight wombo combo was so clean, every hit landing.
Finally animated a group of players fighting a city guard
Lol, the no blood on the guard's sword, lol. I think you may be on to something, lol.
@@targetthetank lol lol lol lol
They just don't wanna pay the gold
@@leooo770 they got a rare stolen item on them and they ain't giving it up
@@venomsempire2434 they stole the krabby patty formula
0:51 that two hit combo is just beautiful. That Knight understands his sword is a tool and makes full use of all of it
I bought the whole sword, I'll use the whole sword.
not for the one that's on the receiving end 🤣
That's pretty much how armored knights fought back in medieval times tho, they hit each other with swords, not slash. And a lot more throwing hands were presented than people might think
@@cheesuschrists It's banned in most HEMA comps but stamping on their feet is incredibly effective at creating openings, if they're wearing sabaton and you can crush even a small part in the articulation it can lock up so it hampers their footwork.
The kidney shot was refreshing to actually see in one of these. Always wondered why they never incorporated them before
Seeing how everyone says that the knight is the hero is the closest thing to world peace
What an absolute Chad. It took three people just to minorly inconvenience him, they had to drop an actual bridge on his head, and he STILL fell into throne position. What a lad.
Two thoughts come to mind with this trailer;
1) Dear God if only the gameplay were half as exciting as this fight scene
2) Thank you Bethesda for accurately depicting the fact that there's absolutely nothing "slow" about a greatsword in the hands of a goddamn master.
Two words: For Honor
@@oIiveoiI Oh yeah, major Warden vibes off of this guy. I'd kill for an Open-World RPG set in FH with their combat
@@benjaminpeck7200 wym it’s in the works right now
@@bootganger3005 an open world rpg set in For Honor? I call BS
@@benjaminpeck7200 no not for honor bud
Whoever did the animation for this trailer deserves a raise for 2 reasons.
1. It is extremely satisfying to see someone for once understand how weapons work, they are designed as tool and you use ever aspect of said tool when the needs arises.
And 2. For letting everyone see how devastating a knight of high rock can be. Breton's are often seen as a physical weaker race by the others and belive to have an average understanding of magic, most races see them as nothing more than backstabbing politicians, but for those that have met an actual knight under the banner of any house of high rock will tell you it will often end with a pile of bodies laying at their feet
Bretons could literally be the most OP race if they weren't infighting all the time, they have the magical ability of High Elves and the martial prowess of Nords.
tbh it was stated that if the Breton Knights of High Rock aren't fighting each other, then someone should start digging their own graves.
Arent they basically Low-Tech Mandalorians?
yap
The Ascendant Lord is half imperial and far more in tune with his Cyrodiilic heritage than Breton lol
Came back to watch this in 2024 love rooting for the knight
so cool! he doesnt only use the blade of his sword but everything in his arsenal!
They've given us a knight that has the balls to finally punch the spellcaster (a dream of mine) and not only goes against a Nord, but brings the fight all the way down to fisticuffs with the bearman.
And he's the antagonist? Did you see his knightly stance at the beginning? He's my hero
He’s just awesome dude
And he beats the Nord!
@@Super50ldierit’s already been confirmed he’s not an imperial knight, he’s the ascendant lord. And also a Breton.
@@Super50ldierI stand corrected, he’s half Breton and half imperial
@@Super50ldier I’m honestly not so sure about that one, I considered the possibility that being a mix of the two races he might have enhanced abilities such as abnormal strength and speed but it’s not very grounded. From what I now know he’s a highly accomplished Breton sorcerer and a highly accomplished imperial knight so it makes sense as to why he’s highly resistant to magic and he’s as well trained as he is. But yeah the strength side isn’t something I’m sure of, being able to rival a nord physically is an incredible feat so I’m sure there would have to be reasoning behind it.
I will never get tired of someone wielding a greatsword so effectively
me too 🙌
Almost 7 million views a year later. From what I've seen this is the Chapter trailer everyone always talks about.
The fact that a good enemies/antagonist itself can really bring up a good story/gameplay says alot about how important they are
As a player of ESO, I can tell you this:
There's a 'legendary' (read: Mythic) item added in this expansion called the Oakensoul Ring which permanently adds all the buffs one could possibly have in the game on the character wearing it, in exchange for not being able to use the weapon swap function-which is normally essential gameplay-wise.
This cinematic may as well be a visual representation of how it feels to use the Oakensoul Ring in a fight
awesome, time to install this game, find a big ass sword and heavy armor and do that
Oakensoul ring is the best item in game
Given 90% of the time I actually forget I have a secondary weapon, I wants it.
@@AlexQuill63 NGL it is worth every it of the hassle it requires to get it. Don't get upset when you find out how much work is required! It's worth it!
@astarryeyedgirl ohhhhhh it's one of the leads things, just looked. Not messed with those yet, maybe I should prioritise Greymoor to get the scrying doodad for them
I love how he's not just skilled, he's got a strategy you can follow. He tries not to fight all three at the same time. He's confident he can take down the Nord in 1v1, or the mage and assassin in 2v1, but not all three, so he keeps trying to separate the trio into those groups so he can deal with them in what is effectively two separate fights.
He initially tries the easier option by ignoring the Nord (by dodging), knocking the mage down and sending the assassin off the roof. He then starts to fight the Nord 1v1 but is interrupted at 0:43 when the mage launches the assassin back into the fight faster than he anticipated. Fortunately he's then able to knock the Nord down shortly after by settling for a non lethal blow, and takes down the assassin and mage as fast as he can, settling for a non lethal blow on the assassin as well so he can deal a decisive one to the mage. Then while both the mage and assassin are down he immediately goes for the Nord 1v1 instead of finishing off the assassin, who would've been the easier target, but going for the assassin would have risked the Nord getting back up, and he's the biggest threat since a hit from the Nord could go through armour.
Only issue is the elf goes missing from 0:44 to 0:53. The assassin was flanking around the Nord from 0:44 to 0:49 so they could surround the knight with his back to the edge of the roof, but the elf could have flanked from the other direction and doesn't, nor does she help when the knight 1v1s the assassin.
Okay
Dang you're amazing
Great choreography there huh
Yeah I noticed 0:44 to 0:49 as well haha. Still a badass trailer!
Ik it's fake, but fighting is fighting period & it amazes me how some folks can critically think AS they're in the middle of fighting. I've tried & I just get into a tunnel vision when I'm fighting irl. Very hard to train your brain to calculate & process shit while ur in the middle of it.
Not only was this guy extremely skilled, his sword was sharp enough to cut through steel armor.
That's how I would picture Guts from Berserk to fight in real time.
Breton knights in lore are crazy scary so it makes sense he’s this strong in the trailer. I remember reading somewhere that Breton knights and mages are some of the only warriors to strike fear into the aldmeri domains forces but they are always bickering amongst themselves. If some lore buffs can add to this I would be interested.
I don’t have extra lore to share but I will say this. Orsimer have to deal with guys like this on the regular and the redguards maybe once or twice an era if they’re not bullying the orcs together. With that in perspective, fuck me would I not want to fight the daggerfall covenant
I can't confirm that but apparently the knight depicted is from a shadow organization determined to keep the war between the three factions going on forever. So the bickering part rings true.
Sure, Here ya go!
During the Warp in the West, a significant event in the lore of The Elder Scrolls, multiple conflicting outcomes of the same event occurred simultaneously due to the manipulation of the Numidium, a powerful Dwemer artifact. In the aftermath of this event, the Kingdom of Daggerfall, located in the region of High Rock, was left in a state of chaos and political upheaval.
Amidst the turmoil, the Knights of the Dragon, an order of Breton knights, emerged as a stabilizing force. Led by their heroic leader, Lord Bridwell, the Knights of the Dragon were renowned for their unwavering loyalty and their commitment to upholding the principles of honor and justice.
As the Kingdom of Daggerfall descended into a state of civil war and rival factions vied for control, the Knights of the Dragon acted as a unifying force, rallying other knights, warriors, and noble houses under their banner. With their disciplined ranks and formidable combat skills, they were instrumental in restoring order and bringing stability back to the region.
The valor and prowess displayed by the Knights of the Dragon during this chaotic period solidified their reputation as noble defenders of the Breton people. Their unwavering dedication to protecting the innocent and upholding the ideals of chivalry made them revered figures throughout High Rock.
This specific piece of lore highlights the important role that Breton knights, such as the Knights of the Dragon, played in times of crisis, showcasing their resilience, leadership, and commitment to justice.
@Sinyao yeah I've heard, idk about this particular cinematic though, he definitely made them join forces to defeat a greater threat.
Lore aside, Bretons are racially talented in magic deflection, so the Altmers, who are purely based on magic, should be scared
i just love how EVEN AFTER GETTING WOUNDED the protagonists still were like "yeah we still dont stand a chance using weapons... lets just brow a giant rock on him and make him fall through the floor" and even after doing that ellaborate planning to kill him he might still return XD dude this man is on his revenge arc now
Basically a scratch to him... Flesh wound if you may 😂😂😂
@@lancemagbanua5712 this but a scratch!
@@a-maze2864"you're a donut"
"It does not matter I still have my arms"
as much as everyone is rooting for the knight I'd say he was the protagonist and they were the antagonists ^^
The age old strategy, if strategy sucks and brute force doesn't work
