Why did TH-cam boost this very old vid all of a sudden lol My mic here is very bad and old in this video so be prepared. Do you want me to do the same in Skyrim? 👀
@@secredeath In Oblivion, speechcraft can affect your ability to raise the disposition of an npc (a 0-100 rating of how much they like you). This disposition can affect what dialogue is accessible to you, particularly in some quests. Some quests can't really start or continue unless you raise disposition to unlock dialogue that advances a quest or maybe even alter the route of a quest. I don't think you need to level up that high, just having moderate speech can help from my experience. Bribing is a thing (npcs dont always accept this I think) and charm spells (illusion magic) can raise disposition quite well.
Hey you, You’re finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.
You’ve been asleep for half a millenium, We saw a man with yellow hair an green clothes following you with a coffin said he was bringing his mother to falkreath to put in a crypt
@@thechannelforeverything2170 I mean, by that point you'd be a national hero, especially to the Imperials who would for sure recognize you as the Hero of Kvatch and Champion of Cyrodiil x) Would also create some weird stuff with the Shivering Isles DLC, cuz it's implied at the end of that storyline that you become Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness. And I mean, these are just issues _besides_ the fact that (as was previously stated) Skyrim takes place over 200 years after Oblivion Oh, and a small clarification: Tamriel is actually the continent that all the elder scrolls games take place on. Morrowind, Skyrim and Cyrodiil are just provinces there.
One moment you're the Imperial Hero of Kvatch travelling with the Adoring Fan and then you're Skyrim's errand boy with some annoying vampire girl with daddy issues
I don't know why but the 'endless void' outside of game maps always gives me the creeps, especially if I fall into it. It is fun looking at things developers didn't intend for anyone to see though.
Reminds me of when people would make up all kinds of rumors and myths about the "Blue Hell" areas in GTA San Andreas. It was neat to explore though, there were random building interiors and objects floating in a blue/black void.
Subnautica terrifies me with that. "Entering ecological dead zone." Just fuckin drops down, BUT, with the drop down to nothingness, they added Ghost Leviathans into it to kill you.
@@Aurumental If you pass the dead zone borders via cheat, ghost leviathans actually stop spawning at one point. But looking inside the endless blue ocean terrified me more than the leviathans lol
@@__matcha That's what scared me most as well. I always immediately went straight back because I hate being in water where I can't see the bottom or anything at all.
A couple things. Entering Skyrim where you did is a large mountain chain with a valley, assuming that's accounted for, you would've been in the Rift/Falkreath area. High Hrothgar would've been due north by northwest, and is not visible, as it eclipses all other mountains of the region. Secondly, Skyrim on PC, due to how it needs landmass for its 3D map does contain Solsheim and part of High Rock that you can TCL to. It's not very detailed but it is there. You can also see the White Gold Tower to the South in certain areas. Strangely, you can't see the Adamantine Tower, which would be equally visible in High Rock.
@@MickyD There's detailed mods that fill these areas with proper region specific foliage and trees, grass, harvestables, cities, npcs, region specific monsters, quests and proper heightmaps. TWMP mods. Elswyre, Hammerfell, Skyrim, Valenwood, Summerset, Highrock, Blackmarsh are all set to explore. Elswyre, Hammerfell and Valenwood are the ones with actual content with cities. If you use Morroblivion and the Tamriel Rebuilt mod for Morrowind you can get much of that mods mainland Morrowind as well with a converting program, making mainland Morrowind having the most content out of all of these mods in Oblivion. Which also means you can travel from Cyrodiil to Vvardenfall on foot (and then by sea) without having to use any teleporting mods. All of this obviously needs the Dynamic Map and Darnified UI mods so you can actually zoom out and see the entire map.

Not sure if you knew this or not, but the game "Morrowind" takes place mainly on Vvardenfell, the island in the center. The outskirts of Morrowind are similar in geography to Skyrim, except hot and desolate compared to Skyrim being cold and inhospitable. The province of Morrowind is much, much larger than Vvardenfell, though I couldn't tell you why we could never escape from Mournhold.

Still find it funny that you can see White Gold Tower in Skyrim if you go outside the map, but i dont think it's ever possible to see it without clipping outside of the map
I found two mods, unfortunately one only added a very small portion of Skyrim to the game, and the other actually added the whole province but it used Cyrodiilic architecture (aka Oblivion meshes) so it didn’t really feel like another country.
I didn't realize how detailed the area was. I never actually went out to them, just looked at it from a distance, and assumed it would always look like the long distance LoD version even if you got up close
I just want you to know that by watching your channel, I got past my fear of modding Oblivion and made it fully functional for me. I played on 360 back in the day and due to some wrist issues I can't really do mouse+keyboard, so finding the right mod with the best controller inputs for PC was my first priority (NorthernUI, Skyrim version for funsies). After that I did some very minimal tinkering, but...Oblivion! again! it's so lovely, it was my favorite TES game and the only one I completed as fully as possible (the only one I've...finished the main storyline of even).

Well, to be fair Mickey, bethesda didn't detail the out of bounds areas, they are generated. The trees aren't hand placed or anything like that. The whole map was generated from a height map. That's why they retconned cyrodiil to be temperate instead of the jungle it was supposed to be. Or at least parts of it were supposed to be. Around chorrol was supposed to be a redwood forest, near anvil was supposed to be more tropical, etc. But they went lazy route and just painted nearly the whole map with the same brush and called it good.
Would loooove if you did Skyrim when you get it. I once flew up the Jerall mountains in Skyrim (flying mod) and saw a low poly Imperial City over in Cyrodiil. So yeah. Maybe there's more lil easter eggs like that.
Did you know if you turn off clipping in skyrim and go in a certain direction in the exterior Skuldafn map, you'll eventually find a dragon? I think they put it there for testing purposes and just forgot about it. The part that doesn't make sense in that area are the weird, massive black walls and spires that stretch forever. Not sure what that's about.
That first area you're looking into skyrim from looks like you're looking down on Falkreath's forests, with the big mountain in the middle of that forest being where Bleak Falls barrow is
1:55 suddenly you black out. you awake to the sound of hooves on frozen ground. you look up and see you are on a cart. the man across from you greets you: „hey you, you‘re finally awake. you were trying to cross theborder, right?“
I did the same thing back in the day, I was always so curious and desperate to get into the Elsweyr. So I'm really glad that Elder Scrolls Online exists these days
3:12 this feels like the setup for a joke where you take the armor off and something hits you in the back of the head. Que skyrim opening, and the line about crossing the boarder makes much more sense.
You know, normally games nowadays just cover up the back ground of maps with things like buildings and mountains... but this... this is what makes a great game... the small details just makes the game 10 times better!
i was almost expecting a meme, where you're in skyrim, and as you were walking through the snowy forest, your screen cut to black, then fades into the beginning of Skyrim.
Imagine you cheat past the border and the screen goes black...then you hear "Hey, you. You’re finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there."
I've been to both Vvardenfell and Cyrodiil in Skyrim SE on XBox, there's not much to see. I made it about halfway to the Imperial City before falling into the ocean, turns out only half of the tower is rendered, and I was under what I presumed to be Red Mountain before I realized where I was. It's cool how the areas at least exist within the game. You can see the White-Gold Tower from Helgen/through the door heading towards the border of Cyrodiil, and you can spot Red Mountain on the map occasionally when the clouds get a bit softer around there. And not only that, but the entire/most of the provinces are rendered, in a classic low quality fashion, but they are there. Until you fall through the ground. But as someone who has more or less played them backwards, and can only really play Morrowind and Skyrim due to A-Bomb Glitch in Oblivion, I can safely say I like Morrowind more then Skyrim. But Skyrim is okay. I've heard Daggerfall has a trial system for crimes, which is cool. The trick is seeing what lies beyond Vvardenfell. I presume just ocean. Finally, Bruma is the closest you'll ever get to seeing a decently rendered Cyrodiil in Skyrim. I like your videos. They're entertaining and informative on the games you cover.
It's still interesting seeing Pale Pass in Oblivion out the Serpants pass, which is objectively inside Skyrim's borders, but in TES:V it's located just outside the border near helgen, so it's apparently swapped jurisdiction between the avalanche at Dragonclaw rock and the capture of Ulfric. You can actually see the location where Pale Pass is meant to be by overlooking from the Falkreath side of the Jeralls.
You're finally awake! You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked straight into an imperial ambush, same as us and that thief over there! You don't understand, I'm the hero of Kvatch- *alduin flies overhead *
for what it's if you do this in skyrim there is a really low poly version of the white gold tower in the south and red moutain in the east, these low poly versions only exist because the skyrim map directly shows what is happening in the worldspace, and if you angle the map correctly in the deep south near falkreath you can see a bit of the white gold tower
When you went into skyrim you popped in near riften, noticed the pass you go through to get to ivarstead just the throat of the world isnt that tall or big, looks more like a big hill but its just nuts how much it looks like skyrims actual landmass
@@jakethegoodguy1975 One of my favourite memories was climbing onto Silvermoon's roof. I think you can still get up there with demon hunters. We jumped onto the plant pot above Silvermoon's entrance and aggroed all the guards haha. The Horde were so confused.
Ah, the glory days of vanilla WoW... I remember guilds around Azeroth would pull overworld bosses into the big cities, namely, Ironforge, as part of an April Fools day prank and cause real problems with the mods. I miss old Blizz...
Honestly that's how i pictured Skyrim like all forests with mountains and all snowy. Really gorgeous fantasy setting! Love it! I should try modding to make it look like that.
I really want you to explore valenwood in the next video I remember that one time back in the day i reached the borders of valenwood and it was so colorful and beautiful It was full of red purple and blue, it was full of tall trees, far prettier than anything you can see in cyrodiil I might be wrong tho
3 years later and Im doing a big ol replay of Oblivion. I used to suck at modding as a kid so I never really delved into it at the time, but now at age 30 I am wiser and way less stupid lol and have been enjoying the game almost like its the first time again. Gonna have to fiddle with the.ini to see some of this stuff. Ive always heard you could do this but Ive never looked up a vid of someone doing it before.
I had literally just come off of Oblivion, after TCing myself through Skyrim, Morrowind, and Hammerfell (with a little bit of Valenwood, Elswyr, and Black Marsh). I open TH-cam while the save is syncing on Steam, and see this. What absolutely perfect timing.
I'm surprised that as soon as you cross the border you didn't hear: Talos the mighty! Talos the unerring! Talos the unassailable! To you we give praise! We are but maggots, writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars! But you were once man! Aye! And as man, you said, "Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you." Aye, love. Love! Even as man, great Talos cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future of Tamriel! And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are the children of man! Talos is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit! The very idea is inconceivable to our Elven overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth! Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives? And what does the Empire do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people! So rise up! Rise up, children of the Empire! Rise up, Stormcloaks! Embrace the word of mighty Talos, he who is both man and Divine! For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit both the heavens and the earth! And we, not the Elves or their toadies, will rule Skyrim! Forever! Terrible and powerful Talos! We, your unworthy servants, give praise! For only through your grace and benevolence may we truly reach enlightenment! And deserve our praise you do, for we are one! Ere you ascended and the Eight became Nine, you walked among us, great Talos, not as god, but as man! Trust in me, Whiterun! Trust in the words of Heimskr! For I am the chosen of Talos! I alone have been anointed by the Ninth to spread his holy word!
My brother would cross the map borders on our Xbox 360 copy of Oblivion. Of course you can't disable the borders so what he did was jump out of the town walls and then explore the world outside Cyrodil. Not at all like this. He also had a ridiculous number of spells for acrobatics, athletics, and healing so he could survive any sudden falls. I distinctly recall an area in Skyrim that just looked like a black computer terminal full of random ASCII characters. They definitely never intended for you to go out there! Fun to see how it looks fully loaded up though.
I’m not sure if it was added in a mod but I followed the road south east of riften and fought off some bandits who took over the border gate and then I walked a long ways until I fell off the world. And it went for a long time before I got to that point. Plenty of trees and plants flowers too. It was just bizarre to me that they even bothered to have all of those trees taking up memory and processing power to be there
You can get around the borders if start at the arcane university and hop over the wall. But that unloads some of the terrain, same thing if you do one of the couple things that get you out of whiterun
For some reason, editing the ini for borders never works for me, but there's a mod that does it. Probably a conflict with whatever mods I have that utilize that beyond border space. Anyway, another enjoyable video!
There is a boarder with morrowind in Skyrim near riften. It’s just an open gate with an invisible barrier keeping you from entering. All they had to do was just close the gate, but having an invisible boarder instead is so funny for some reason.
This comment section doesn't have enough epic bacon in it. Even though there's nothing beyond the invisible walls except the endless void, I still prefer to play the game this way. It can be really hard to navigate around the north side of the map otherwise, because the visuals don't always make it clear where you're allowed to climb.
All that time you were wandering I kept thinking, please be a secret somewhere there, a cave or a skeleton with a journal or something. It would be so cool if they added just one little thing to make whoever tryied it feel a bit special.
Why did TH-cam boost this very old vid all of a sudden lol My mic here is very bad and old in this video so be prepared. Do you want me to do the same in Skyrim? 👀

@@secredeath In Oblivion, speechcraft can affect your ability to raise the disposition of an npc (a 0-100 rating of how much they like you).

“Hey you. You’re finally awake. You were trying to cross the border right? Walked right into that imperial ambush.”
I was just doing this in skyrim! Kelex the argonian, exploring the northern seafloor
Did you know if you turn off clipping in skyrim and go in a certain direction in the exterior Skuldafn map, you'll eventually find a dragon? I think they put it there for testing purposes and just forgot about it. The part that doesn't make sense in that area are the weird, massive black walls and spires that stretch forever. Not sure what that's about.
That first area you're looking into skyrim from looks like you're looking down on Falkreath's forests, with the big mountain in the middle of that forest being where Bleak Falls barrow is
That was the Riften hold
1:55 suddenly you black out. you awake to the sound of hooves on frozen ground. you look up and see you are on a cart. the man across from you greets you: „hey you, you‘re finally awake. you were trying to cross theborder, right?“
I did the same thing back in the day, I was always so curious and desperate to get into the Elsweyr. So I'm really glad that Elder Scrolls Online exists these days
3:12 this feels like the setup for a joke where you take the armor off and something hits you in the back of the head. Que skyrim opening, and the line about crossing the boarder makes much more sense.
It's interesting clipping in to Skyrim as there is a quest in Oblivion where you "cross the border" in to Skyrim
Really? What quest is that?

There's good mods for this that actually adds cities there.
Elswyre, Hammerfell and Valenwood are more detailed though.
"Epic Bacon"
There you go Micky, I read the description
You know, normally games nowadays just cover up the back ground of maps with things like buildings and mountains... but this... this is what makes a great game... the small details just makes the game 10 times better!
Small details? It's just more cyrodil in case the player sees it
I remember getting home from high school and playing this til my parents got home.. was the best few hours/years of my life!
i was almost expecting a meme, where you're in skyrim, and as you were walking through the snowy forest, your screen cut to black, then fades into the beginning of Skyrim.
Me walking past the border.
Game: Hey you. You're finally awake....
Imagine you cheat past the border and the screen goes black...then you hear
"Hey, you. You’re finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there."
4:37 looks alot like where riverwood, whiterun (whiterun being behind the mountain to the left) , and bleak falls barrow are
I've been to both Vvardenfell and Cyrodiil in Skyrim SE on XBox, there's not much to see.
I made it about halfway to the Imperial City before falling into the ocean, turns out only half of the tower is rendered, and I was under what I presumed to be Red Mountain before I realized where I was.
It's cool how the areas at least exist within the game. You can see the White-Gold Tower from Helgen/through the door heading towards the border of Cyrodiil, and you can spot Red Mountain on the map occasionally when the clouds get a bit softer around there.
And not only that, but the entire/most of the provinces are rendered, in a classic low quality fashion, but they are there. Until you fall through the ground.
But as someone who has more or less played them backwards, and can only really play Morrowind and Skyrim due to A-Bomb Glitch in Oblivion, I can safely say I like Morrowind more then Skyrim. But Skyrim is okay.
I've heard Daggerfall has a trial system for crimes, which is cool.
The trick is seeing what lies beyond Vvardenfell. I presume just ocean.
Finally, Bruma is the closest you'll ever get to seeing a decently rendered Cyrodiil in Skyrim.
I like your videos. They're entertaining and informative on the games you cover.
It's still interesting seeing Pale Pass in Oblivion out the Serpants pass, which is objectively inside Skyrim's borders, but in TES:V it's located just outside the border near helgen, so it's apparently swapped jurisdiction between the avalanche at Dragonclaw rock and the capture of Ulfric. You can actually see the location where Pale Pass is meant to be by overlooking from the Falkreath side of the Jeralls.
Skyrim actually looked really pretty and different from the main play space. It gave of those ancient forest vibes I love
You're finally awake! You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked straight into an imperial ambush, same as us and that thief over there!
You don't understand, I'm the hero of Kvatch-
*alduin flies overhead *
for what it's if you do this in skyrim there is a really low poly version of the white gold tower in the south and red moutain in the east, these low poly versions only exist because the skyrim map directly shows what is happening in the worldspace, and if you angle the map correctly in the deep south near falkreath you can see a bit of the white gold tower
So this is the prequel to Skyrim, You get caught crossing the border.
I was waiting for a random pack of wolves to show up.
When you went into skyrim you popped in near riften, noticed the pass you go through to get to ivarstead just the throat of the world isnt that tall or big, looks more like a big hill but its just nuts how much it looks like skyrims actual landmass
I'm surprised he never mentioned how that first crater looked like the reach and eastmarch
This reminds me of the old experimental and inaccessible locations in World of Warcraft; especially beneath Stormwind
I loved playing hide and seek under orgrimmar
@@jakethegoodguy1975 One of my favourite memories was climbing onto Silvermoon's roof. I think you can still get up there with demon hunters. We jumped onto the plant pot above Silvermoon's entrance and aggroed all the guards haha. The Horde were so confused.
Ah, the glory days of vanilla WoW... I remember guilds around Azeroth would pull overworld bosses into the big cities, namely, Ironforge, as part of an April Fools day prank and cause real problems with the mods. I miss old Blizz...
Champion of Cyrodiil is about to walk into that Imperial ambush
Skyrim is gray and depressive looking even in the colorful Oblivion.
Honestly that's how i pictured Skyrim like all forests with mountains and all snowy. Really gorgeous fantasy setting! Love it! I should try modding to make it look like that.
I really want you to explore valenwood in the next video
I remember that one time back in the day i reached the borders of valenwood and it was so colorful and beautiful
It was full of red purple and blue, it was full of tall trees, far prettier than anything you can see in cyrodiil
I might be wrong tho
3 years later and Im doing a big ol replay of Oblivion. I used to suck at modding as a kid so I never really delved into it at the time, but now at age 30 I am wiser and way less stupid lol and have been enjoying the game almost like its the first time again. Gonna have to fiddle with the.ini to see some of this stuff. Ive always heard you could do this but Ive never looked up a vid of someone doing it before.
I had literally just come off of Oblivion, after TCing myself through Skyrim, Morrowind, and Hammerfell (with a little bit of Valenwood, Elswyr, and Black Marsh). I open TH-cam while the save is syncing on Steam, and see this. What absolutely perfect timing.
I'm surprised that as soon as you cross the border you didn't hear: Talos the mighty! Talos the unerring! Talos the unassailable! To you we give praise! We are but maggots, writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars! But you were once man! Aye! And as man, you said, "Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you." Aye, love. Love! Even as man, great Talos cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future of Tamriel! And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are the children of man! Talos is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit! The very idea is inconceivable to our Elven overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth! Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives? And what does the Empire do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people! So rise up! Rise up, children of the Empire! Rise up, Stormcloaks! Embrace the word of mighty Talos, he who is both man and Divine! For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit both the heavens and the earth! And we, not the Elves or their toadies, will rule Skyrim! Forever! Terrible and powerful Talos! We, your unworthy servants, give praise! For only through your grace and benevolence may we truly reach enlightenment! And deserve our praise you do, for we are one! Ere you ascended and the Eight became Nine, you walked among us, great Talos, not as god, but as man! Trust in me, Whiterun! Trust in the words of Heimskr! For I am the chosen of Talos! I alone have been anointed by the Ninth to spread his holy word!
I just started to watch and immediately liked the video because I know it'll be good 😁
My brother would cross the map borders on our Xbox 360 copy of Oblivion. Of course you can't disable the borders so what he did was jump out of the town walls and then explore the world outside Cyrodil. Not at all like this. He also had a ridiculous number of spells for acrobatics, athletics, and healing so he could survive any sudden falls. I distinctly recall an area in Skyrim that just looked like a black computer terminal full of random ASCII characters. They definitely never intended for you to go out there! Fun to see how it looks fully loaded up though.
You're an underrated channel
crossing the border from cyrodil into skyrim? isn't this how it all began?
Oblivion is the best looking elderscrolls
I know how to do this myself but I'm glad you included it in the video for people curious.
I want to see a side by side comparison of skyrim in oblivion and skyrim in skyrim
Omg this is amazing...I can't believe I finally found a video where someone shows the location of Dive Rock on the map.
Weirdest part about this is watching him scale mountains in Oblivion without a horse.
"So, you're finnaly awake, tried to cross the border, huh?" that was what I was expecting LOL
epic bacon!
bro looked at the same mountain and called it both high hrothgar and red mountain
yeah
can you try this again when beyond skyrim comes out?
What's that?
Some sort of mod?

1:42 a lot is probably auto generated terrain, like majority of Cyrodiil is.
Yeah man the game was in production from 2002-2005 and finishing touches and troubleshooting being done in 06’ what did you expect lol
“You were trying to cross the border right?”
10:45 when a crazy Emperor frees a prisoner because of some unheard prophesy
I’m not sure if it was added in a mod but I followed the road south east of riften and fought off some bandits who took over the border gate and then I walked a long ways until I fell off the world. And it went for a long time before I got to that point. Plenty of trees and plants flowers too. It was just bizarre to me that they even bothered to have all of those trees taking up memory and processing power to be there
Epic Bacon.
You can get around the borders if start at the arcane university and hop over the wall. But that unloads some of the terrain, same thing if you do one of the couple things that get you out of whiterun
For some reason, editing the ini for borders never works for me, but there's a mod that does it. Probably a conflict with whatever mods I have that utilize that beyond border space. Anyway, another enjoyable video!
Yo someone actually read the description!
There is a boarder with morrowind in Skyrim near riften. It’s just an open gate with an invisible barrier keeping you from entering. All they had to do was just close the gate, but having an invisible boarder instead is so funny for some reason.
Epic bacon..❤
You should visit both Skyrim and Morrowind in Arena now
Epic bacon!
Oblivion's Skyrim looks more like it was supposed to look, than the released Skyrim. The Skyrim we got just doesn't have enough trees.
So this is the prologue for Skyrim
Hey, you just illegally passed the border.
hay you, you're finally awake. walked into an imperial ambush at the border and shipped off to Morrowind.
This comment section doesn't have enough epic bacon in it. Even though there's nothing beyond the invisible walls except the endless void, I still prefer to play the game this way. It can be really hard to navigate around the north side of the map otherwise, because the visuals don't always make it clear where you're allowed to climb.
So the Dragonborn was actually the hero of kvatch crossing skyrims border before getting caught. Makes more sense now
epic bacon?
Oblivion has a beauty to it that still holds up today
Ngl oblivion has better forests than skyrim
There is an elswhere mod that adds the province. When I installed it years ago I dont think it had any quests but I think there are supposed to
Thought you were gonna explore using mods lol.
3:32 is how you get arrested in the beginning of skyirm besides looking like the adoring fan
I do this in RDR2 online. Beautiful detailed unused map. More fun than playing whatever they offer you to do with roles.
Everyone a gangster when fight music plays the in outer bounds
All that time you were wandering I kept thinking, please be a secret somewhere there, a cave or a skeleton with a journal or something. It would be so cool if they added just one little thing to make whoever tryied it feel a bit special.
