UPDATE: Thank you for more than 10k views. Contrary to popular belief BOTH Unslaad and Glenmoril are currently unfinished. You can expect a video on both once they are finished. In the meantime I tried to paint the way for some of the themes these videos will be talking about in a video about the Clockwork city (which these mods are heavily inspired from) so if you are looking for more content revolving around this subject, here you go: th-cam.com/video/sM2Rlm5AHoQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Cotho. 1k views 🎉 I know it’s a small number compared to some of my other videos, but I think this video is so far my favourite on the channel. (The audio is kinda meh but otherwise I am very satisfied with how it came out). Some notes for the video: - I have finished both Unslaad and Glenmoril and I will be making a video on them when they ae completed and voice acted. - At 1:20:30 I got confused about the fact that Belhazar was shown as a human when he is actually a half minotaur. In the inquisition district you can find a book that mentions how the Alessians usurped him and installed a puppet in his place. They had him locked in a secret chamber in the Inquisition district which the player can access by killing Morihaus (Belhazar's dad) and the fake emperor you see in the video and then accessing a barrier tower like that of Pelinel's which allows you to then access his secret chamber. - Finally, I think I skipped too much content in my attempts to cover the entire main quest in a quick enough manner. Most of the things I skipped like Jhunal's library and the Anatomancer were mostly foreshadowing for Glenmoril, so when I make that video (probably later this year if the mod is finished by then) I will be sure to mention them at the beginning. Thank you all so much for watching, I go make YTP now.
@@voiceovernomad I think you nailed it 100%. Usually they give Molag Bal a stereotypical big bad guy voice, but here the mod focuses on the "schemingness" of his personality , and the voice you gave him totally fits that theme. Honestly the entire team did an amazing job, can't wait to hear glenmoril and the rest of unslaad when its all said and done.
Unslaad is now finished! And vicn is back to working on the final update for glenmoril, and the ending for it has been outlined on his patreon since last year, actually. We eatin' good.
Molag Bal has a lot of talents. Proceeds to list them. Half are redacted. Yep, most people don't realize why he's arguably the worst daedric prince in every way.
@@thenewguyinredeh Dagon is the Deadric prince of destruction and ambition his crimes and realm of being is killing war death. He wants you dead and gone if you are in his way. In a way he's similar to Ares in Greek mythology. Baal is worse simply due to the fact that he doesn't let you die doesn't let you end your suffering.
Lore friendly is such an interesting way to describe it. Especially when you use bare hands and supplex Molag Bal. Like hey Dragonborn what did you do last day? Oh you know, not much. I did supplex Molag Bal though.
Assuming the Dragonborn is a Shezzarine and Pelinal Whitestrake is a Shezzarine, the fight between the two is essentially a fight between brothers. Two little Lorkhan Jrs.
@@indrickboreale7381molag bal realizing that he brought not only a dragonborn to his realm but the reincarnation of his dead brother who was the most powerful of the e'tada: I think I made a mistake
I wanted mention a few rather less known things about Vigilant's features, which can be helpful to those who missed them on their first playthrough but which can be real lifesavers in future playthroughs. If you take the easy way to act 4 by stabbing Altano with the needle, you don't really miss out on any unique items, and those few are mostly just some weird misc items which you can't even use. You can still get any ending you desire by taking this shortcut. You may find shared chest A and B in Coldharbour, and they are at the entrance of every major dungeon. These chests are all linked, so you can leave your spare things there and access them later on. And the final feature about Vigilant which is honestly the best part. Once you finish Act 4 and return to Mundus, a mysterious stone tablet appears in Vigilant Librarian's desk. (However, you may have to finish a new quest by the librarian first, been a while since i played through this mod.) If you interact with it, it takes you back to Coldharbour, to the Priory where Pepe greets you at the beginning of Act 4. The priory has these forementioned shared chests. You may return back to the Vigilant Library by interacting with the coffin from which Pepe released you, or by going all the way to the top of the imperial tower and using the gateway to Aetherius. This allows you to finish and discover pretty much everything there is to Coldharbour if you missed something, as well as aquire all the sweet overpowered items. And the best part is, there's some very interesting NPC interactions which only become accessible once you finish Act 4. This mod is honestly so full of stuff, i discovered a few new things just by watching this video.
Coming back again- Another detail I saw is the constant references to Shezzar/Shor/Lorkhan in the last part of Vigilant, specifically Pepe talking about how he looked for Shezzar by opening the coffins that you came in and Sheogorath taunting Molag Bal with the fact that he was nothing like Shezzar, being weak and ugly. Shezzar is basically considered the greatest of the gods (that aren't basically pure primordial forces like Sithis), for better or worse, and is well beloved by the human races. So naturally Molag Bal would be obsessed with him- proving himself better than Shezzar would be the ultimate domination. Molag Bal also seems to have an indirect connection to dragons and by extension Akatosh, through their shared pride and will to dominate. Molag Bal created a new kind of Daedra from the remains of a dragon he ate alive for daring to defy him called the Daedric Titans. Hell, one of the Daedric Titans is literally called 'Son of Molag Bal', much like how the dragons are the children of Akatosh. But unlike Molag Bal, the dragons are a far more noble and dignified race who don't feel a constant need to prove their superiority to creatures they know they are better than. You can even see this in the lore for the Daedric Titans- They're physically stronger yes but they lack the power of the Thu'um, wielding pale imitations of it. And the Thu'um really is quite something, considering how often sound plays into things. Like the Dwemer's Tonal Technology or the Towers stabilizing the 'sympothy' of Nirn. The Thu'um is basically warping reality through sheer knowledge and power. So the Daedric Titans lacking this is a real kick in the balls to Molag Bal. Now consider the Last Dragonborn, a child of Akatosh who proved themselves stronger than Alduin normally is. Alduin, a dragon so powerful he frightens even the Daedric Princes. A master of the Thu'um, a force warping reality that his own precious Titans lack. And finally, the mod also goes off the belief that the LDB is also a Shezzarine, an incarnation of Shezzar. Even if someone else could have fit the role, of course Molag Bal would choose the LDB. Molag Bal is obsessed with domination- On top of humiliating Jyggalag, proving himself better than his fellow Princes and killing Stendarr (and probably Arkay too): he can show his superiority over both Akatosh and Shezzar at the same time too! And of course he fails. Because unlike Pepe who couldn't see his own god climbing out of the coffin he open. Unlike the Bard who lost himself to his desires and weakness. And unlike Molag Bal, cursed to forever lack the dignity and power of his kin- the LDB rises above all of that. Because Akatosh nor Shezzar would be as weak as Molag Bal.
The fact he understood dragon breaks so well,used the concept of manteling as well as understanding what Sheogorath's role and view on the other deadric princes is makes me wish he was brought on as a writer or narrative designer for TES6
Yeah no it's really not. It has promise, but the back half comes off as tryhard fanfiction, and putting so many Aedra devotees in Coldharbor is a really inane decision.
@@de4dweight545 tryhard fanfiction =/= fanfiction. A lot of TES "deep lore" is at best pseudocanonical or apocryphal and at worst bottom-tier fanfiction that spits on the actual lore as a whole anyway. I don't usually care about gatekeeping but the elitist Morrowboomer/Kirkbride dickrider schtick is beyond annoying and a detriment to the fandom.
We have to accept that Elder Scrolls is a generic fantasy setting now. Bethesda is interested in selling games that appeal to as many nitwits as possible. Not something engaging lmao. This IS as good as it gets for us.
The pain in Jacob's voice as he confesses, Thingol's exhaustion, Pelinal's dialogue, the bard's sorrowful serenade after choosing the spawn, Sir Cadwell's... yeah... just *chef's kiss*. Props to the VA's, the voice acting is a bit spotty but that was perfection!
If you want to subvert the creator's vision in Act 3, take advantage of the fact that none of the monsters can open doors or climb while being limited to melee, and climb the furniture to plink away at them with impunity.
Just finished Vigilant last night, been a hardcore lore nerd for the elder scrolls for a good few years, so this was a TRIP to say the least. But I absloutly loved it. The story is amazing, and as you pointed out, some of those cutscenes really just...hit the heart hard. The "good" scene for pelinal had me holding back the waterworks. Its also amazing to see that for once, a dragon break was written WELL and...it wasent even cannon. Great vid. Even got me filled in on a few bits I missed which was helpful.
There is also a short epilogue quest which gives some foreshadowing to Glenmoril and Unslaad... Oh and also a certain Anatomancer guy who is quite a big deal in his own right
1:07:30 If the dragonborn has achieved amaranth then it means that his/her sacrifice was no such thing as the DB immediately resurrects as him/herself. As proven by the fact that you can give the exact same appearance to your "new character" and it keeps all of its abilities and quest marks. Basically the DB triumphs over Molag Bal by showing him how inferior even a daedra is compared to someone who dreams . A being of true freedom. You enter MB's dimension on your own terms not his.
I think it's a significant part of the path, maybe CHIM in fact since it kind of mirror the victory vivec achieved against molag bal too but the last dragonborn is still within the confine of the God Head dream, so it can't be AMARANTH
Honestly I wouldn't read too much into it. If Vigilant was being made now, much like the bad endings in GLENMORIL, it would just cut to black and ask for a reload.
At this stage in the trilogy, the Dragonborn has not reached amaranth. The sacrificial route isnt canonical, but merely for those who just cant stand to defy Molag Bal themselves. Whether you do it or not, you will still wind up in Coldharbour anyway. And this doesn't really logically give Molag Bal the incentive to be interested in you. How can the Prince be interested in a nobody? The mechanic is intended really for a new character, ultimately.
Yeh no, it's impossible for two dragonborns to exists at the same time at the events of Skyrim ( I said at THE TIME OF SKYRIM BECAUSE OTHER DRAGONBORNS CAN EXISTS AT THE SAME TIME BEFORE THE 4TH ERA )cuz we are the last dragonborn, there's no one after us and we know that bal needed someone with the blood of ada to open the gate to athereius
In my mind, the Bard was the daedric prince Bal, who became Molag Bal after turning Lamae into a vampire. My headcanon is that Bal was in love with Lamae and Sheogorath (as revenge for the whole Jyggalag thing) planted the seed of madness in his mind. Bal decided that saving Lamae from her inevitable death was something she would be cool with, and when she rose as a vampire, she hated Bal for what he did. That's when Bal became the cruel and sadistic Molag. Fast forward, and Jyggalag, now free of his curse, invades Coldharbor to kill Molag, seeing it as his responsibility to destroy the monster he created. Laza is also there, acting as General of the Army of Order. The Dragonborn reaches Molag first and, thwarting his attempted takeover of Aetherius, enters the final arena. The Dragonborn frees the last two souls, Maruhk and Pepe, then defeats the weakened Molag, whose strength was compromised by Greymarch destroying his realm. When you beat Molag in the boss fight, you kill him. For realzies. The last sand pile is the last soul you have to free and it's Molag Bal himself. Each soul you free, you undo their memories of their greatest mistakes, and Molag's greatest mistake was turning Lamae. So you show him the other path -- that letting her rest is what would've given them both peace. And with that, Molag Bal is freed from his own suffering, symbolized by the destroyed statue in Aetherius.
That's beautiful but you have to remember the bard and alatano were both parts of bal that had their redemption in the end , think of it as a Talos situation three people forming/are a part of one being so molag bal is druegh king from the previous kalpa/lygg and the bard who's a Branch of the evergreen that hermues mora took off and finally altano Is the last piece that is a walking corpse with no memorys or goals. At the final showdown we fight bal and when we defeat him we redeem lame and the bard/altano leaving the druegh king soul to go to an area in chapter 4 of glenmoril where we put him down one last time
Big fan that Jiggalag and Sheogorath just seem to be bros now. Which makes sense since the current sheogorath is the oblivion protagonist that also freed Jiggalag
The hero of cyrodil is still insane tho I'll like the idea that sheagorath was peaking around in comdharbour to see what jyggalag is doing but then he saw the dragonborn roaming around killing everything that stands in his way and maybe he remembered himself before he went made and became sheo, the most intriguing part is that he somehow follows you throughout the memorys or dose he? Was he there at these specific moments in time? Or is he just an observer like us? Did he actually do anything to help/stop these events or did he help prolong the fates of these we meet in comdharbour. Man vicn writings are incredible
I'm glad someone did this. I've always wanted to do something explaining the Kino that is VIGILANT. You'll have to do a video GLENMORIL and UNSLAAD too, you know. Here's to Vicn's batshit stories, bizarre imagery, layers of Japanese translated metaphor, and the wait for GLENMORIL to be done.
I've played through Vigliant twice, before and after I've played my share of Quest Mods or new lands or whatever. But really I like the way story telling is probably the major highlight of the mod. Some parts early on sort of feels like it railroads you like having to kill certain early people with no real choice, but as it progress things do really open up that do allow you to have the ability to test your character's well character. Each act is so distinct and the Culmination of getting to Coldharbor is a real big highlight. Where you can see the aftermath of your actions with some earlier characters, while developing your character towards the end. I also like how it really introduces you to the deep cuts to Elder Scroll's lore and it's interoperation with Pelinal Whitestrake, the Thrassian Plauge and all of that. And that's not even counting the mod's deeper implication of your character's true role.
Thanks for making this! I just finished the mod and I'm a little obsessed. The lore is so dense, and I was on the CUSP of understanding the whole picture while playing. I can't believe no one in this mods history have done a video like this yet.
I ended up first doing this mod when I was role-playing as a vigilant already, had no idea what I was getting into. It was perfect, jank and all. So much fun.
Great video! Also I’d say the Sheogorath voice actor “killed it” (your words) because it’s apparently the actual Wes Johnson voicing him, who also voiced him in Oblivion and base game Skyrim.
@@DanielHodgeVoice It says something about the quality of your performance that people can seriously believe it was actually Wes Johnson. Props to you!
@@DanielHodgeVoice I listened to this with the original Sheogorath lines in Skyrim and I had SERIOUS trouble finding a difference. I had to stick to timbre and pitch, because style and inflection are done so stupidly well. Congratulations. This is a feat that people in the industry get paid fortunes to accomplish, and often fail.
Great vid man! Vigilant has been a favourite of mine since 2017,and it's nice to see it get some more recognition. Btw the dreg's of Sithis dialogue is a Glenmoril teaser, actually alot of things in Vigilant lay the foundation for Glenmoril, so even though Glenmoril is still WIP it's still worth checking out if you're curious as to where Vicn takes those concepts next
This mod got me HOOKED on the Alessian Empire and its order. I loved watching this after learning more about the early lore, and having a lore-minded person walkthrough it was amazing. HUGE props not only to vic but you as well!
Interesting little thing I found, you can actually find the summoner in the drunken huntsman during the first quest to kill the vampire, but she says nothing and you can't interact with or kill her.
this video is fantastic, your channel is criminally underrated. the pacing between explanations of the plot, your thoughts on it, and the jokes are perfect can't wait to see what you make for glenmoril and unslaad, once those mods are finished!
Vicn's interpretation of the "Middle Dawn", Marukh and the Alessian Order are part of my headcanon. Bethesda seriously need to reevaluate what they are doing with the series, because VIGILANT is way better than what they are planning for TES VI 😅
Man it seems like a very well made mod but my brain broke when I was told about the cycles of guilt and the 3 personas of the same person who commited an atrocity to a woman he loved. Literally just Eye:Divine Cybermancy.
Such a great review done thoroughly! I was looking for this kind of review for quite a long time. Thank you man. For me, Vigilant deserves much much more recognition, as it is a massive mod created by a single person, who managed to write the story so beautifully with a plethora of mind-blowing scenes, not to mention the design, world-building etc etc. This is a must-have mod for me and I will gladly reinstall and replay it again each time I reinstall Skyrim.
you can find the original emperor in the first inquisition court if you did the dream without a dreamer side quest nearby, he explains the whole disposition and confusing details, as i’ve literally just found out while on a playhthrough
That secret vampire city under Windhelm reminds me of the movie Kolchak: The Night Strangler. The finale of the movie takes place in the Seattle underground with the wreckage of buildings and broken wagons lying in the street. Both look great and are eerie in their own way.
the thing is its for Vigilant of Stendarr and 1 of my characters is Necromancer that worship Mannimacro with Wintersun Faith mod and the other is a Vampire that worship Molag Bal.
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of this unknown lore…! I learned so much in just this one video about Skyrim that I never knew… Keep up the great work and be blessed.
Pelinal's Flashback cemented this fan made mod as rivaling my favorite questline, the Dark Brotherhood, in TES. During the Khajiit quest in act one (in the Ratway) I new Vigilant was gonna be nuts, Holy shit, what a ride. Watched the whole thing in one sitting, excellently done and thank you.
I ran into this mod by chance. Just getting random quest mods. Was about to quit cause the first act was meh. But I kept going since I figured I'm already in it...Holy shit...best quest mod hands down. I now play that mod as end gane after I beat all the dlc, get all the shouts and finish all the other quests mods I have downloaded. Amazing
There's a secret merciful route in act 1 which occurs after returning to Altano when meeting the witches and letting them be. After refusing to follow his orders, he turns hostile and tries to kill you. With this, you can spare vigilant base from being slaughtered. However, i bet that this ending is not canonical to the mod since NPCs in the vigilant base are missing voice dialogue when you talk to them about what had happened.
I recently played and finished the mod, after years delaying it, and now I am still obsessed with it. As much as I love Elder Scrolls, theres a lot of the overall lore that I never learned so playing through Vigilant was needless to say very confusing. Even now after having played it and watched this video, some parts are still kinda confusing. Especially the Dragon Break part and how the Bard is affected by it, but its mostly my fault for not being well versed on the ES lore. Also, this is kinda of a headcanon of mine, but I absolutely love to believe that the bad ending is what canonically happened. Like, Molag Bal was actually the nameless human Bard who just happened to be at the wrong place, touched a weird demonic baby spawn, got fused/possessed by it, slowly turned into Molag Bal's form, and losing control of his actions made him rape the woman he loved, and turned her into the first vampire. I know this is not how he was canonically born, but I really wish it was.
A mod I can play again and again. Thanks for this tribute and summary, definitely worth watching for an even better understanding of the overarching story! It did such an amazing job of telling an original story but incorporating some of the more "deep lore" aspect of Elder Scrolls.
I passed on vigilant because it just did not fit into my big vanilla+ load order but still I would've loved to see what was the story about and you explained it so well that got me intrigued I watched the whole video in just two runs
NO WAY the cat Jho'vanni is looking for someone named Campaner'ra, this is a reference to Giovanni and Campanella from the movie Night on the Galactic Rail I just watched that the other day
Whats with the new character after the Marty choice? Is he a reincarnation of the dovahkiin or do we mantle the old character when we're given control of him? That's my headcanon, we taking control of the new vigilant symbolizes him being mantled as the dovahkiin, gaining his powers and everyone thinking that he and the old one are the same person.
That is a pretty good take. My take was that he IS the Dovahkiin but because the dragonborn has the power of chim he can just influence the dream and come back to the manor. Idk if you know/remember this, but Vivec never even dared attack the Nerevarine because he knew very well that the player character could come back and assault him as many times as he wanted anw). I assume that this is what is happening here.
@@cotho. so all player character have Chim, represented by us, the player? I like that interpretation. It explain every one the game mechanics In universe.
So I’ve just learned that there’s someone in the Old Well in Coldharbour who can help you escape Coldharbour early by renouncing your name. What do you suppose that implies about the endings where you do just that.
@@JXEditor alright finally found it. That's the sacred anatomancer and he is a completely different bag of worms I will get to when glenmoril (and maybe Unslaad) is finished. I can't give this character justice here but to answer your question he is the the leader of a bunch of extremist Vigilants that caused a whole bunch of destruction in Glenmoril and he also has somethings to do with concepts I haven't yet explained on this video such as CHIM. I took a break from youtube atm but when I get back I have got a (spiritual) follow-up to Vigilant which paves the way for some of the stuff in Glenmoril and Unslaad. Thanks for the heads up though, this is definitely going to come up at some point.
Actually you dont have to kill them the alchemist family. These is a side quest thats not actually marked on your questlog. Just to there, talk to the family and go back to altano, ask the question, and them kill him, he is still in the Shrine beneath Stendarr's Beacon. ah yes morrowind just saved me. Also you can see the grave in that true greatest end in the cave the tree, and you'll get the same music RIP.
This video is what got me to play it, and it hit me harder than anything official. Thank you, sincerely, for that. It was every bit worth my time as you said it was.
I’m glad you’re covering this because I’m stuck on console version and don’t feel like investing on the game a third time (at least the second time it was on discount)
I only know of vigilant because of a meme that goes "I did not care for vigilant" "It insists upon itself" Y'know the family guy one where peter says that he did not care for the godfather.
I wonder if this kid is compatible with the various dark souls combat mechanics and animation mods out there? I feel like Vigilant deserves good gameplay to accompany this very interesting narrative
I'm just playing this for the first time, and I strongly recommend anyone that's playing this and that uses subtitles install the following mod: "VIGILANT Voiced - English Addon Subtitle Patch". It is a simple but critical mod for anybody that has OCD like myself and allows the voices to match the subtitles.
Man Vigilant is just something completely from all the other quest mods out there. Looking forward for Glenmoril 1.0 release. P.S. Good lord, just upgrade to SE already. It's way more stable than ye olde LE.
Wow... What a great video, what a great mod. I still think Enderal is better in it's own right, but if you hadn't made mention that this is inspired by Dark Souls, I wouln't have any idea besides the fact that the flow of time itself is convoluted, and the very fabric wavers and relationships shift and obscure... Anyways, fuck Dragonbreaks are indeed hard to warp your head around, everything happens at the same time but in different realities and all of them then merge into the same timeline leaving one self very confused, again, thanks for the video, not gonna implement at all the more obscure parts of TES lore into my PF2 campaing :D
I have to ask will you cover the mods Unslaad and Glenmoril (once it’s finally finished)? Since they are all supposed to be related I feel like it would be a shame not to.
I remember I ended up killing the 2 starting ghosts by getting them stuck and killed samil cause he was to big to leave his room very glad I was a mage
Those "ghosts" at the end of Act III are one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen in a videogame, let alone a TES game, what should they be in the end? And how do they connect with the lore of the rest of the mod? And what does it change if you jump directly to Act IV at the beginning of Act I?
We will see these things again in Glenmoril, I can't answer this question about what these things are without giving 20 minutes worth of context. Nothing changes if you go to Act IV through Act I (at least nothing that I know of). If you are asking about the origins of Orlando with that last question, that is answered in Glenmoril too.
UPDATE:
Thank you for more than 10k views. Contrary to popular belief BOTH Unslaad and Glenmoril are currently unfinished. You can expect a video on both once they are finished.

Some notes for the video:
- I have finished both Unslaad and Glenmoril and I will be making a video on them when they ae completed and voice acted.
- At 1:20:30 I got confused about the fact that Belhazar was shown as a human when he is actually a half minotaur. In the inquisition district you can find a book that mentions how the Alessians usurped him and installed a puppet in his place. They had him locked in a secret chamber in the Inquisition district which the player can access by killing Morihaus (Belhazar's dad) and the fake emperor you see in the video and then accessing a barrier tower like that of Pelinel's which allows you to then access his secret chamber.
- Finally, I think I skipped too much content in my attempts to cover the entire main quest in a quick enough manner. Most of the things I skipped like Jhunal's library and the Anatomancer were mostly foreshadowing for Glenmoril, so when I make that video (probably later this year if the mod is finished by then) I will be sure to mention them at the beginning.

I wanted mention a few rather less known things about Vigilant's features, which can be helpful to those who missed them on their first playthrough but which can be real lifesavers in future playthroughs.
If you take the easy way to act 4 by stabbing Altano with the needle, you don't really miss out on any unique items, and those few are mostly just some weird misc items which you can't even use. You can still get any ending you desire by taking this shortcut.
You may find shared chest A and B in Coldharbour, and they are at the entrance of every major dungeon. These chests are all linked, so you can leave your spare things there and access them later on.
And the final feature about Vigilant which is honestly the best part. Once you finish Act 4 and return to Mundus, a mysterious stone tablet appears in Vigilant Librarian's desk. (However, you may have to finish a new quest by the librarian first, been a while since i played through this mod.) If you interact with it, it takes you back to Coldharbour, to the Priory where Pepe greets you at the beginning of Act 4. The priory has these forementioned shared chests. You may return back to the Vigilant Library by interacting with the coffin from which Pepe released you, or by going all the way to the top of the imperial tower and using the gateway to Aetherius. This allows you to finish and discover pretty much everything there is to Coldharbour if you missed something, as well as aquire all the sweet overpowered items. And the best part is, there's some very interesting NPC interactions which only become accessible once you finish Act 4. This mod is honestly so full of stuff, i discovered a few new things just by watching this video.
Coming back again-
Another detail I saw is the constant references to Shezzar/Shor/Lorkhan in the last part of Vigilant, specifically Pepe talking about how he looked for Shezzar by opening the coffins that you came in and Sheogorath taunting Molag Bal with the fact that he was nothing like Shezzar, being weak and ugly.
Shezzar is basically considered the greatest of the gods (that aren't basically pure primordial forces like Sithis), for better or worse, and is well beloved by the human races. So naturally Molag Bal would be obsessed with him- proving himself better than Shezzar would be the ultimate domination.
Molag Bal also seems to have an indirect connection to dragons and by extension Akatosh, through their shared pride and will to dominate. Molag Bal created a new kind of Daedra from the remains of a dragon he ate alive for daring to defy him called the Daedric Titans. Hell, one of the Daedric Titans is literally called 'Son of Molag Bal', much like how the dragons are the children of Akatosh. But unlike Molag Bal, the dragons are a far more noble and dignified race who don't feel a constant need to prove their superiority to creatures they know they are better than. You can even see this in the lore for the Daedric Titans- They're physically stronger yes but they lack the power of the Thu'um, wielding pale imitations of it.
And the Thu'um really is quite something, considering how often sound plays into things. Like the Dwemer's Tonal Technology or the Towers stabilizing the 'sympothy' of Nirn. The Thu'um is basically warping reality through sheer knowledge and power. So the Daedric Titans lacking this is a real kick in the balls to Molag Bal.
Now consider the Last Dragonborn, a child of Akatosh who proved themselves stronger than Alduin normally is. Alduin, a dragon so powerful he frightens even the Daedric Princes. A master of the Thu'um, a force warping reality that his own precious Titans lack. And finally, the mod also goes off the belief that the LDB is also a Shezzarine, an incarnation of Shezzar.
Even if someone else could have fit the role, of course Molag Bal would choose the LDB. Molag Bal is obsessed with domination- On top of humiliating Jyggalag, proving himself better than his fellow Princes and killing Stendarr (and probably Arkay too): he can show his superiority over both Akatosh and Shezzar at the same time too!
And of course he fails. Because unlike Pepe who couldn't see his own god climbing out of the coffin he open. Unlike the Bard who lost himself to his desires and weakness. And unlike Molag Bal, cursed to forever lack the dignity and power of his kin- the LDB rises above all of that. Because Akatosh nor Shezzar would be as weak as Molag Bal.
This mod is significantly better than the main story of Skyrim. Bethesda needs to hire this man or at very least copy his homework
The fact he understood dragon breaks so well,used the concept of manteling as well as understanding what Sheogorath's role and view on the other deadric princes is makes me wish he was brought on as a writer or narrative designer for TES6
For me, this mod feels like some asian fanfiction.Bleh
ahh always with the Western supremacy eh?@@ukaszfiuk2719
Yeah no it's really not. It has promise, but the back half comes off as tryhard fanfiction, and putting so many Aedra devotees in Coldharbor is a really inane decision.
@@de4dweight545 tryhard fanfiction =/= fanfiction. A lot of TES "deep lore" is at best pseudocanonical or apocryphal and at worst bottom-tier fanfiction that spits on the actual lore as a whole anyway.
I don't usually care about gatekeeping but the elitist Morrowboomer/Kirkbride dickrider schtick is beyond annoying and a detriment to the fandom.
It’s a shame that one modder is more capable of utilizing Elder scrolls deep lore to tell an engaging story than Bethesda’s own writers.
We have to accept that Elder Scrolls is a generic fantasy setting now. Bethesda is interested in selling games that appeal to as many nitwits as possible. Not something engaging lmao. This IS as good as it gets for us.
Blame Emil Pagliarulo, Bethesda's lead writer/designer, works in company since TES 3 Bloodmoon.
Just fyi, VIGILANT is not actually lore friendly.
@@RCN2820 A lot of Elder Scrolls lore by Bethesda is apocryphal at best
@@RCN2820true, but the lore is at its best when its a weird and abstract mess imo
The pain in Jacob's voice as he confesses, Thingol's exhaustion, Pelinal's dialogue, the bard's sorrowful serenade after choosing the spawn, Sir Cadwell's... yeah... just *chef's kiss*. Props to the VA's, the voice acting is a bit spotty but that was perfection!
If you want to subvert the creator's vision in Act 3, take advantage of the fact that none of the monsters can open doors or climb while being limited to melee, and climb the furniture to plink away at them with impunity.
I knew something was wrong with Jacob since the attack on the Beacon - I tried to use healing spells on him, but he resisted them all.
Just finished Vigilant last night, been a hardcore lore nerd for the elder scrolls for a good few years, so this was a TRIP to say the least. But I absloutly loved it. The story is amazing, and as you pointed out, some of those cutscenes really just...hit the heart hard. The "good" scene for pelinal had me holding back the waterworks. Its also amazing to see that for once, a dragon break was written WELL and...it wasent even cannon. Great vid. Even got me filled in on a few bits I missed which was helpful.
*canon
There is also a short epilogue quest which gives some foreshadowing to Glenmoril and Unslaad...
Oh and also a certain Anatomancer guy who is quite a big deal in his own right
There is also a update that Vigilant is gonna cross paths with Serana Dialogue Add-on.
I think its still a work-in-progress.
1:07:30 If the dragonborn has achieved amaranth then it means that his/her sacrifice was no such thing as the DB immediately resurrects as him/herself. As proven by the fact that you can give the exact same appearance to your "new character" and it keeps all of its abilities and quest marks.
Basically the DB triumphs over Molag Bal by showing him how inferior even a daedra is compared to someone who dreams . A being of true freedom.
You enter MB's dimension on your own terms not his.
That makes a lot of sense actually. Would you say that its kind of like the holy piper for later?
I think it's a significant part of the path, maybe CHIM in fact since it kind of mirror the victory vivec achieved against molag bal too but the last dragonborn is still within the confine of the God Head dream, so it can't be AMARANTH
Honestly I wouldn't read too much into it. If Vigilant was being made now, much like the bad endings in GLENMORIL, it would just cut to black and ask for a reload.
At this stage in the trilogy, the Dragonborn has not reached amaranth. The sacrificial route isnt canonical, but merely for those who just cant stand to defy Molag Bal themselves. Whether you do it or not, you will still wind up in Coldharbour anyway. And this doesn't really logically give Molag Bal the incentive to be interested in you. How can the Prince be interested in a nobody?
The mechanic is intended really for a new character, ultimately.
Yeh no, it's impossible for two dragonborns to exists at the same time at the events of Skyrim ( I said at THE TIME OF SKYRIM BECAUSE OTHER DRAGONBORNS CAN EXISTS AT THE SAME TIME BEFORE THE 4TH ERA )cuz we are the last dragonborn, there's no one after us and we know that bal needed someone with the blood of ada to open the gate to athereius
In my mind, the Bard was the daedric prince Bal, who became Molag Bal after turning Lamae into a vampire.
My headcanon is that Bal was in love with Lamae and Sheogorath (as revenge for the whole Jyggalag thing) planted the seed of madness in his mind. Bal decided that saving Lamae from her inevitable death was something she would be cool with, and when she rose as a vampire, she hated Bal for what he did. That's when Bal became the cruel and sadistic Molag.
Fast forward, and Jyggalag, now free of his curse, invades Coldharbor to kill Molag, seeing it as his responsibility to destroy the monster he created. Laza is also there, acting as General of the Army of Order.
The Dragonborn reaches Molag first and, thwarting his attempted takeover of Aetherius, enters the final arena.
The Dragonborn frees the last two souls, Maruhk and Pepe, then defeats the weakened Molag, whose strength was compromised by Greymarch destroying his realm. When you beat Molag in the boss fight, you kill him. For realzies.
The last sand pile is the last soul you have to free and it's Molag Bal himself.
Each soul you free, you undo their memories of their greatest mistakes, and Molag's greatest mistake was turning Lamae. So you show him the other path -- that letting her rest is what would've given them both peace. And with that, Molag Bal is freed from his own suffering, symbolized by the destroyed statue in Aetherius.
That's beautiful but you have to remember the bard and alatano were both parts of bal that had their redemption in the end , think of it as a Talos situation three people forming/are a part of one being so molag bal is druegh king from the previous kalpa/lygg and the bard who's a Branch of the evergreen that hermues mora took off and finally altano Is the last piece that is a walking corpse with no memorys or goals. At the final showdown we fight bal and when we defeat him we redeem lame and the bard/altano leaving the druegh king soul to go to an area in chapter 4 of glenmoril where we put him down one last time
Big fan that Jiggalag and Sheogorath just seem to be bros now.
Which makes sense since the current sheogorath is the oblivion protagonist that also freed Jiggalag
The hero of cyrodil is still insane tho I'll like the idea that sheagorath was peaking around in comdharbour to see what jyggalag is doing but then he saw the dragonborn roaming around killing everything that stands in his way and maybe he remembered himself before he went made and became sheo, the most intriguing part is that he somehow follows you throughout the memorys or dose he? Was he there at these specific moments in time? Or is he just an observer like us? Did he actually do anything to help/stop these events or did he help prolong the fates of these we meet in comdharbour. Man vicn writings are incredible
I'm glad someone did this. I've always wanted to do something explaining the Kino that is VIGILANT. You'll have to do a video GLENMORIL and UNSLAAD too, you know. Here's to Vicn's batshit stories, bizarre imagery, layers of Japanese translated metaphor, and the wait for GLENMORIL to be done.
I've played through Vigliant twice, before and after I've played my share of Quest Mods or new lands or whatever. But really I like the way story telling is probably the major highlight of the mod. Some parts early on sort of feels like it railroads you like having to kill certain early people with no real choice, but as it progress things do really open up that do allow you to have the ability to test your character's well character. Each act is so distinct and the Culmination of getting to Coldharbor is a real big highlight. Where you can see the aftermath of your actions with some earlier characters, while developing your character towards the end.
I also like how it really introduces you to the deep cuts to Elder Scroll's lore and it's interoperation with Pelinal Whitestrake, the Thrassian Plauge and all of that. And that's not even counting the mod's deeper implication of your character's true role.
Thanks for making this! I just finished the mod and I'm a little obsessed. The lore is so dense, and I was on the CUSP of understanding the whole picture while playing. I can't believe no one in this mods history have done a video like this yet.
Man Molag Bal's voice actor was great
WHO VOICED MOLAG BAL? this voice acting is IMPECCABLE
SHEO'S VA IS POG TOO
I ended up first doing this mod when I was role-playing as a vigilant already, had no idea what I was getting into. It was perfect, jank and all. So much fun.
Watched this video 3 times already, I think Vigilant is the perfect example of a DLC sized mod.
Great video! Also I’d say the Sheogorath voice actor “killed it” (your words) because it’s apparently the actual Wes Johnson voicing him, who also voiced him in Oblivion and base game Skyrim.
Naw I voiced sheogorath for this mod way back. But a lot of people have thought Wes did. There was some miscommunication.
@@DanielHodgeVoice It says something about the quality of your performance that people can seriously believe it was actually Wes Johnson. Props to you!
@@DanielHodgeVoice That's an incredibly performance!
@@DanielHodgeVoice I listened to this with the original Sheogorath lines in Skyrim and I had SERIOUS trouble finding a difference. I had to stick to timbre and pitch, because style and inflection are done so stupidly well. Congratulations. This is a feat that people in the industry get paid fortunes to accomplish, and often fail.
59:57 "... and everyone's breath smells so foul one has to wonder whether they eat corpses for their meals."
*Mmmmmhhhh intensifies*
At least this guy is making an effort for Skyrim, unlike Bethesda ffs...POG video my guy keep up the god tier content
Great vid man! Vigilant has been a favourite of mine since 2017,and it's nice to see it get some more recognition.
Btw the dreg's of Sithis dialogue is a Glenmoril teaser, actually alot of things in Vigilant lay the foundation for Glenmoril, so even though Glenmoril is still WIP it's still worth checking out if you're curious as to where Vicn takes those concepts next
This mod got me HOOKED on the Alessian Empire and its order. I loved watching this after learning more about the early lore, and having a lore-minded person walkthrough it was amazing. HUGE props not only to vic but you as well!
When Act 2 The Blood Matron start i felt the creepy vibes 😢of this mod and Act 3 Child of Oblivion was horror core....
Vigilant
Interesting little thing I found, you can actually find the summoner in the drunken huntsman during the first quest to kill the vampire, but she says nothing and you can't interact with or kill her.
this video is fantastic, your channel is criminally underrated. the pacing between explanations of the plot, your thoughts on it, and the jokes are perfect
can't wait to see what you make for glenmoril and unslaad, once those mods are finished!
Vicn's interpretation of the "Middle Dawn", Marukh and the Alessian Order are part of my headcanon.
Bethesda seriously need to reevaluate what they are doing with the series, because VIGILANT is way better than what they are planning for TES VI 😅
Man it seems like a very well made mod but my brain broke when I was told about the cycles of guilt and the 3 personas of the same person who commited an atrocity to a woman he loved. Literally just Eye:Divine Cybermancy.
Such a great review done thoroughly! I was looking for this kind of review for quite a long time. Thank you man. For me, Vigilant deserves much much more recognition, as it is a massive mod created by a single person, who managed to write the story so beautifully with a plethora of mind-blowing scenes, not to mention the design, world-building etc etc. This is a must-have mod for me and I will gladly reinstall and replay it again each time I reinstall Skyrim.
Damn I thought I had left Skyrim far behind but this video is fire, great documentary of a great mod.
"The Best Skyrim Mod You Have Probably Never Heard Of."
**me who installs this everytime i mod skyrim** : hmm interesting.
you can find the original emperor in the first inquisition court if you did the dream without a dreamer side quest nearby, he explains the whole disposition and confusing details, as i’ve literally just found out while on a playhthrough
Nirn is just a feudal world in the Emperor’s Imperium with some deities still intact, so things get terrifying sometimes lol
That secret vampire city under Windhelm reminds me of the movie Kolchak: The Night Strangler. The finale of the movie takes place in the Seattle underground with the wreckage of buildings and broken wagons lying in the street. Both look great and are eerie in their own way.
Vigilant, Glenmoril and Unslaad are the must have mods that Vicn made
the thing is its for Vigilant of Stendarr and 1 of my characters is Necromancer that worship Mannimacro with Wintersun Faith mod and the other is a Vampire that worship Molag Bal.
that voice actor for sheogorath does an almost perfect impression... almost too good
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of this unknown lore…!
I learned so much in just this one video about Skyrim that I never knew…
Keep up the great work and be blessed.
I have watched this all the way through 4 times now. Vigilant is by far my favorite part of Skyrim, period.
simply fantastic, thank you for making this video.
Pelinal's Flashback cemented this fan made mod as rivaling my favorite questline, the Dark Brotherhood, in TES.
During the Khajiit quest in act one (in the Ratway) I new Vigilant was gonna be nuts,
Holy shit, what a ride. Watched the whole thing in one sitting, excellently done and thank you.
I ran into this mod by chance. Just getting random quest mods. Was about to quit cause the first act was meh. But I kept going since I figured I'm already in it...Holy shit...best quest mod hands down. I now play that mod as end gane after I beat all the dlc, get all the shouts and finish all the other quests mods I have downloaded. Amazing
There's a secret merciful route in act 1 which occurs after returning to Altano when meeting the witches and letting them be. After refusing to follow his orders, he turns hostile and tries to kill you. With this, you can spare vigilant base from being slaughtered. However, i bet that this ending is not canonical to the mod since NPCs in the vigilant base are missing voice dialogue when you talk to them about what had happened.
The family also ends up dead in Coldharbour anw, thought that might be because the glenmoril witch kills them anw.
That path was just added in after the english voicework had been finished. I think they're still planning to cover it sooner or later.
I recently played and finished the mod, after years delaying it, and now I am still obsessed with it. As much as I love Elder Scrolls, theres a lot of the overall lore that I never learned so playing through Vigilant was needless to say very confusing. Even now after having played it and watched this video, some parts are still kinda confusing. Especially the Dragon Break part and how the Bard is affected by it, but its mostly my fault for not being well versed on the ES lore.
Also, this is kinda of a headcanon of mine, but I absolutely love to believe that the bad ending is what canonically happened. Like, Molag Bal was actually the nameless human Bard who just happened to be at the wrong place, touched a weird demonic baby spawn, got fused/possessed by it, slowly turned into Molag Bal's form, and losing control of his actions made him rape the woman he loved, and turned her into the first vampire. I know this is not how he was canonically born, but I really wish it was.
I think you will enjoy Glenmoril and Unslaad :)
@@cotho. lol now I am curious. I will be playing them soon for sure!
the whole trilogy is gonna be finished soon, cant wait for your analysis once glenmoril is finally at 1.0 ^.^
A mod I can play again and again. Thanks for this tribute and summary, definitely worth watching for an even better understanding of the overarching story! It did such an amazing job of telling an original story but incorporating some of the more "deep lore" aspect of Elder Scrolls.
I guess its time for another rewatch
Thanks for the video. I really didn’t understand Vigilant’s story but this helped massively. The dragon break at the end made so much sense
I passed on vigilant because it just did not fit into my big vanilla+ load order but still I would've loved to see what was the story about and you explained it so well that got me intrigued
I watched the whole video in just two runs
NO WAY
the cat Jho'vanni is looking for someone named Campaner'ra, this is a reference to Giovanni and Campanella from the movie Night on the Galactic Rail
I just watched that the other day
Whats with the new character after the Marty choice? Is he a reincarnation of the dovahkiin or do we mantle the old character when we're given control of him?
That's my headcanon, we taking control of the new vigilant symbolizes him being mantled as the dovahkiin, gaining his powers and everyone thinking that he and the old one are the same person.
That is a pretty good take. My take was that he IS the Dovahkiin but because the dragonborn has the power of chim he can just influence the dream and come back to the manor. Idk if you know/remember this, but Vivec never even dared attack the Nerevarine because he knew very well that the player character could come back and assault him as many times as he wanted anw). I assume that this is what is happening here.
@@cotho. so all player character have Chim, represented by us, the player?
I like that interpretation. It explain every one the game mechanics In universe.
So I’ve just learned that there’s someone in the Old Well in Coldharbour who can help you escape Coldharbour early by renouncing your name. What do you suppose that implies about the endings where you do just that.
can you tell me about were it is? I thought I looked at everything since this video came out but apparently not.
@@cotho. There’s a location called “Old Well” in the Waterfront District. The character is chained to the wall inside there
@@JXEditor alright finally found it. That's the sacred anatomancer and he is a completely different bag of worms I will get to when glenmoril (and maybe Unslaad) is finished. I can't give this character justice here but to answer your question he is the the leader of a bunch of extremist Vigilants that caused a whole bunch of destruction in Glenmoril and he also has somethings to do with concepts I haven't yet explained on this video such as CHIM. I took a break from youtube atm but when I get back I have got a (spiritual) follow-up to Vigilant which paves the way for some of the stuff in Glenmoril and Unslaad. Thanks for the heads up though, this is definitely going to come up at some point.
Actually you dont have to kill them the alchemist family. These is a side quest thats not actually marked on your questlog. Just to there, talk to the family and go back to altano, ask the question, and them kill him, he is still in the Shrine beneath Stendarr's Beacon. ah yes morrowind just saved me. Also you can see the grave in that true greatest end in the cave the tree, and you'll get the same music RIP.
Bro! Amazing video!
(Also, btw, love the accent! It's like you're a Khajiit or something. I jest, of course. Or not, idk. Anyway, cheers!)
I played Vigilant a few years ago, and I didn’t understand a lot. This video cleared up a lot for me.
Vigilant is personally my favorite mod on nexus
Imagine a movie being done after VIGILANT. I'd pay fat cash to watch that
This video is what got me to play it, and it hit me harder than anything official. Thank you, sincerely, for that. It was every bit worth my time as you said it was.
MB casually entering nirn 😂 mod is extremely "lore friendly" indeed
that intro sounded like a demonic cousin it lmao.
I’m glad you’re covering this because I’m stuck on console version and don’t feel like investing on the game a third time (at least the second time it was on discount)
Man, this vid was absolutely awesome. Great mod, ofc, but getting your read on it was kinda fantastic. :) Dope all the way down, man.
an ENB won't knock over your modded jenga tower because it's just shaders injected into the game
They weren’t kidding whene they said molar bal is the prince of domination
This Mod Basically Skyrim: Dark Arisen. The Quest & plot is exactly very same but different perspective like Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Thank you for bringing vigilant to a wider audience
I only know of vigilant because of a meme that goes
"I did not care for vigilant"
"It insists upon itself"
Y'know the family guy one where peter says that he did not care for the godfather.
1:00:55 I can't believe you missed the opportunity to make an Invincible reference :(
I like how Laza looks like Fate’s Lancelot
This video is super well made, it was a neat surprise
I wonder if this kid is compatible with the various dark souls combat mechanics and animation mods out there? I feel like Vigilant deserves good gameplay to accompany this very interesting narrative
There's a SCAR template for all the Vigilant bosses out there somewhere, and you can put your prefered moveset for each boss that way.
I'm going to try this mod in vr
Bruh how tf does bro only have 5.6k subs? This guy is hilarious as fuck while informing elder scrolls lore what a legend
Just finished playing this, this is my new platinum standard of dlc sized quest mods
Dude could you make a video about unslaad ? I just finished playing it and have no idea what i witnessed and would appreciate it very much
I'm just playing this for the first time, and I strongly recommend anyone that's playing this and that uses subtitles install the following mod: "VIGILANT Voiced - English Addon Subtitle Patch". It is a simple but critical mod for anybody that has OCD like myself and allows the voices to match the subtitles.
nah i watched this whole video 4 times well made ! im excited for the trilogy !
Man Vigilant is just something completely from all the other quest mods out there. Looking forward for Glenmoril 1.0 release.
P.S. Good lord, just upgrade to SE already. It's way more stable than ye olde LE.
Pelinal is a beast🔥
Wow... What a great video, what a great mod. I still think Enderal is better in it's own right, but if you hadn't made mention that this is inspired by Dark Souls, I wouln't have any idea besides the fact that the flow of time itself is convoluted, and the very fabric wavers and relationships shift and obscure... Anyways, fuck Dragonbreaks are indeed hard to warp your head around, everything happens at the same time but in different realities and all of them then merge into the same timeline leaving one self very confused, again, thanks for the video, not gonna implement at all the more obscure parts of TES lore into my PF2 campaing :D
Alot of people have seen this im pretty sure considering it was massive back in the day
This mod is really good, but you can make it even better by getting the patch for Khajiit Will Follow
This was all for you little dragon, our chick.
We loves you red eyed shadow
Best mod for Skyrim ❤❤❤
Pepe gives me such 'Pathologic' vibes
I have to ask will you cover the mods Unslaad and Glenmoril (once it’s finally finished)? Since they are all supposed to be related I feel like it would be a shame not to.
I will yes
Love the subtile jokes you did in this video 😂
because of this video im getting this mod for this ae version of my game.
I remember I ended up killing the 2 starting ghosts by getting them stuck and killed samil cause he was to big to leave his room very glad I was a mage
What an absolute clusterfuck of a mod... Good video, tho. You've got yourself a new subscriber.
You play darkend before this mod? Shadow effect on enemies reminds me of one of the rings you get from that.
Those "ghosts" at the end of Act III are one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen in a videogame, let alone a TES game, what should they be in the end? And how do they connect with the lore of the rest of the mod? And what does it change if you jump directly to Act IV at the beginning of Act I?
We will see these things again in Glenmoril, I can't answer this question about what these things are without giving 20 minutes worth of context. Nothing changes if you go to Act IV through Act I (at least nothing that I know of). If you are asking about the origins of Orlando with that last question, that is answered in Glenmoril too.
0:43 is that the fucking undertakers bell 😂
Finally some noticed xD
