I’ve got a few what ifs 1. What if the empire won at Ionith 2. What if Martin survived 3. What if the alliance of chimer and dwemer lost to the nords 4. What if the yokudans never had a civil war and all of them came to Tamriel 5. What if akavir invaded Tamriel before the oblivion crisis 6. What if the empire won the valenwood civil war 7. What if you went to the cloud district often
in daggerfall you start as a friend of the emporer and your given a back story that explains a bit about your character and how the character met the emporer. the game starts with the emporer sending you to daggerfall to learn why something is happening there, so no record of the hero of daggerfall being a prisoner
Yes, the Hero of Daggerfall was never a prisoner in canon. He's a Breton Knight and Blades Agent sent back to his homeland of High Rock to solve the mystery of Lysander's murder.
So a Blade walks up to a dragon and doesn't kill it, and the Thalmor show up to a town and don't care about a Blade everyone knows is a Blade? And the khajiit just casually knew a dragon like an old friend? And there's an Orc queen? talk about weird.
Nobody knows that the player is/was a blade except for his Mentor Henrik and Theodor Gorlash (because he is the daedric lord Sheogorath) but the rest is spot on
at 1:33 you say "that for the first time in any Elder Scrolls game we do not start as a prisoner" but in TES: II Daggerfall you don't start as a prisoner ether.
man thats kinda cool that a theres a Dragon hiding away in Cyrodiil... Like what do these guys do for 1000 years? do they only like fly at night? how bored would you be...
I mean, it makes sense. There were hundreds if not thousands of Blades pre-Great War and we only know a handful that survived. The Thalmor were extremely efficient. The surviving Blades that I know of (on top of my mind): - Delphine and Esbern in Skyrim. And maybe that NPC in the inn near Windhelm. - The Warrior, Henrik Seven-Swords and other NPC I don't remember in Blades. - I think other four are the protagonists of the table game. In total around twelve out of hundreds. It's pretty horrible what the Thalmor managed.
The Fugitive is an Imperial male as we see in the canon art, The Vestige is a male Nord as we see in the canon art and The Eternal Champion is a male Breton, the same Knight we see on the cover art.
My theory is what if the protagonist for blades is the dragonborn because if you look at alduins wall it shows the dragonborn in blades armor now normally you would say oh thats how the depict warriors which is not true to to the tounges depicted in different armor
@@gptechnologiesmangalore6909The Dragonblood might not be fully hereditary. Could be the Dragonborn is subtly gifted it by Akatosh right before Skyrim. Only logical way someone like an Argonian or Khajiit could get it.
My wife was like "our internet company will let us get new phones, and we were approved for financing". So I immediately decided to get a Galaxy S23 so I could know beyond a doubt that I could finally play this game lol
So we have a dragon, an elder scroll and Thalmor helping the player against a lich king. I feel like the writers felt like the story was too loosely connected to Elder Scrolls universe, so they added some elements from Skyrim here and there to make it more familiar. But it's nice to have another story. As for your videos, I feel like they require concentration, you could tell the story a little slower for example and repeat yourself a couple of times. Just to make it more casual, like mention for example what Varla stones are and what has happened during previous encounter with the Queen. I know it, but then a video can become a little easier to follow for everybody. Anyways, I appreciate the content, I admire the complexity of Elder Scrolls universe, which was a background of just a few video games. Keep it up!
Whenever I'm playing video games and the lines are not voiced I get button happy and I just start clicking so that I wind up not knowing what's going on 😅 it's not intentional I just get bored really easily and I want to get the conversation over with already
So thalmor justiciars existed in the imperial provinces before the Stormcloak rebellion huh? This will piss of many imperial supporters who blame the Stormcloaks for the thalmor presence in skyrim.
That is mischaractarising it a bit. As this was the period just after the great war, the period in which it was sanctioned to hunt Blades, as we know they were allowed to do that just after the war. However, we do now know how long this period of "Free reign" was
@@ImperialKnowledge Not mischaracterising at all. There is no evidence that the Thalmor's "free reign" ever ended, but we do know it started since the signing of the WGC and continues to this day, until the Stormcloaks liberate their country at least.
I'm not sure the native race is the "canon" one tbh. If anything, the story in Morrowind and Skyrim heavily suggests you're not a Dunmer/Nord. Though that's probably just Bethesda trying to let everyone make their "own canon story".
The argument for the canon race is mainly based on which one is the default race at the beginning. Although considering how some races are treated in Skyrim (i.e. Khajit) and how nobody really cares that you are the LDB, it is safe to assume that Nord would be the most likely choice, followed by Bretons and Imperials.
Well you're definitely a foreigner to Skyrim--same as Morrowind--and don't know much of anything about its customs, which would be weird if that was your native homeland. The way Hadvar talks, it sounds like the Dragonborn is from Cyrodiil, which would make Imperial the most statistically likely...although due to how mixed Cyrodiil is, just about any race is a reasonable possibility. Especially since an Imperial would stand out against the Stormcloaks, but then again, the way things are worded, it sounds like your race would be different from the Stormcloaks.
@@zeveria7206 TES is all about the player being right. That's why all of the endings from Daggerfall became a reality after the Warp in the West. And while the main character being a certain race but maybe born in another region of Tamriel, thus not knowing the customs, would make sense, in the long term it doesn't matter, because the hero disappears one way or the other when the next game comes out. This could be considered a cop out and I myself would like to see some continuity those games are all awesome and each time I replay them I might choose another race. Talking abut lore/canon is just fun.
I wish the stormcloaks won though. Even though their are stormcloak haters and imperial sympathizers. There are benefits of the stormcloaks winning. The nords just wanted to be independent. They wanted to preserve their way of life.
Stormcloaks are definitely racist. Windhelm is segregated and the dark elves have to live in the gray quarter. The first time u walk into Windhelm in Skyrim there are 2 nord men being racist to a dark elf female.
So actually, one cool thing about every Elder Scrolls game is that there is no “canon” race or gender for any of the main characters! In a card game released after Skyrim, the dragonborn is portrayed as a female nord, and Bethesda has declared that card game canon. Promotional material has to show something, and it’s only natural they pander to their primary demographic (men), but that doesn’t equal canon.
Actually, the Last Dragonborn is a male Nord with steel sword and iron shield in the Studded armor and iron helmet, gauntlets and boots, the Nerevarine is a male Dunmer in the Redoran Armor and the Hero of Kvatch is a male Imperial, a sword wielding Knight and the Fugitive is also a male Imperial in canon. Those are the canon races. All the protagonists are males in canon.
@@Super50ldier That’s actually not true, at least for Skyrim. There’s debate about the other games, but for Skyrim it’s definitely not the case. Like I said in my original comment, there was a canon trading card game where the dragonborn was portrayed as a woman. Bethesda never stated the dragonborn’s race, sex, or gender
@@Super50ldier Neither of those things are true, why are you so hung up about the dragonborn being a make nord? You can literally choose any race and either sex when you play as the dragonborn in Skyrim
I hate Necromancers. Undead always trying to destroy or rule the world terrorizing the living. Its always hordes of skeletons, ghosts or what have you with a lich or long dead asshole trying to ruin lives. That's why heroes like this blade exists hahaha

This comment is beautiful.
11/10 comment. You’ve definitely earned this medal: 🥇
Martin did survive... or did he?
Akavir did invade Tamriel multiple times before the oblivion crisis bro so that one is off the list
I'm just happy that a khajiit character is a main character finally
They should do this more often, I want to see this in Elder Scrolls 6
The Fugitive/Warrior is an Imperial Knight.

Delphine would be disappointed

The villagers don't tell the Thalmor he's a Blade. Also not all villagers know he's a Blade. The Blade/Warrior in this game isn't Delphine.
Talk about retarded garbage more like.
Necromancer called light bringer irony is giving me a headache
Thanks for making my work day less boring!
at 1:33 you say "that for the first time in any Elder Scrolls game we do not start as a prisoner" but in TES: II Daggerfall you don't start as a prisoner ether.
You forgot Oblivion.
Mika Seifert your joking right
true but we trapped in a cave, prisoner of nature.
man thats kinda cool that a theres a Dragon hiding away in Cyrodiil... Like what do these guys do for 1000 years? do they only like fly at night? how bored would you be...
fun fact-the mission to get the Elder Scroll ultimately has you face Celemari in order to claim it.
Apparently the whole Thalmor thing can be resolved in a number of ways.
I came to this after getting back on my Blades account from a while back. Now I’m all caught up. Thank you.
So... The Blades are now not all dead in canon? Sounds like the Dark Brotherhood.
I mean, it makes sense. There were hundreds if not thousands of Blades pre-Great War and we only know a handful that survived. The Thalmor were extremely efficient.

Doesn't the manual for Arena have a section that implies that the Eternal Champion is a Sorcerer?
This has been one of the most surprising apps on my phone oml
My theory is what if the protagonist for blades is the dragonborn because if you look at alduins wall it shows the dragonborn in blades armor now normally you would say oh thats how the depict warriors which is not true to to the tounges depicted in different armor
If we were then why cant we absorb dragon soul i mean your able to fight dragons in this game soo your theory is nope
A section of the game takes place during Skyrim. So they aren't the same.

Does the story of this game connect with the rest of the lore or is this isn’t cannon ?
It's canon. Takes place after the Great War then takes place during Skyrim.
I just realised fort firemoth isn't on your map. (Still a baddass map though)
Well i mean not the fort itself but the islands its on
Wish I could play it, but my phone can't run the game for whatever stupid reason.
Don’t bother, it’s shit.
0/10 not starting as prisoner
What about in daggerfall?
I used to play this game a lot but now it just sits on my phone. Funny thing is people thirst over my character. HAHA.
I wish you can be a spellcaster in this
You can, what you can't is be an archer.
@@Altrantis that makes sense though, as the Blades were trained primarily in close-quarters combat
