Minotaurs are definitely a welcome addition, as long as they’re rarer than they are in Oblivion. I’m not sure why most of the fantasy creatures never made it in to Skyrim. They’re one of the more intelligent and interesting ones. There’s lore that suggests minotaurs like to hang around sacred Imperial sites because it gives them the sense of purpose and glory that they lost when the proto-Alessians drove them out of the Empire, I can’t imagine they have much of that in Skyrim.
Minotaurs are generally a race that likes mountains and hills - hence their name, Men-of-Tor (People of the Hill, either hillsides in general or specifically that which later became Sancre Tor). As a result, ESO shows them hanging around where they are in Cyrodiil, as well as around the Colovian Mountains by the Golden Coast, the Jerall Mountains south of Falkreath, and the Wrothgarian Mountains around the Reach and the valleys of Wrothgar (Orsinium).
@@salty_maple_syrup Is this the canon TES Version of the name origin? Because in our world the name Minotauros (or Minotaur in English) comes from Minos (King of Crete and the Minoans) and Tauros (greek for bull)
The mod author really should've based the model on the broken gates, since Martin's sacrifice destroyed them all and they ended up looking that way. There wasn't really any portal frames left standing, just the base and a few spikes
This. Every Oblivion gate mod I have ever seen shows the full portal frame. I think it would have been nice to have the somewhat eroded ruins of one gate with a monument to all the warriors who fought to stave off the invasion in Skyrim, but having ruined gates all over the place is actually really unrealistic.
If you could destroy the Oblivion gate like any woodland structure why didn't they just do that for the get go Back in TES Oblivion it was stated at a point they we're nigh indestructible the hero of Kvatch had to destroy from the other side. you mean to tell me these dumbass barbaric Nords can just walk up with a pickaxe and break one GET OUT OF HERE

@@supernovaitup i dont think so, those represent man's victory against them. why would they destroy them? Nords have no issue with the Voice - case in point The Greybeards.
@@supernovaitup Why would they destroy a part of their history which they are proud of, as opposed to literal gates of hell through which demonic armies invaded them?
Not really. Skyrim's development was notoriously rushed due to its 11/11/11 release date, and it's clear that there were a lot of things that were planned that Bethesda didn't have time to fully flesh out (some of the guild questlines and the Civil War come to mind). That, and game design is by nature a matter of compromise. Skyrim came out five years after Oblivion, and it makes sense that Bethesda would have wanted to focus on giving us a lot of new things instead of painstakingly recreating every detail from previous games. If they'd focused heavily on the latter, odds are that other, ultimately more important, aspects of the game would have suffered.
Y'know, when it comes to history, I'm always surprised people do realize THINGS CHANGE. A thousand years after ESO comes TES5, so some of those historically accurate places wouldn't really be there. Or they'd be paved over. Or, like in the case of Ivarstead and a few other towns, they're built around centralized locations, usually on top of the ancestors. Go back a thousand years in England and see how much has changed. Unless it's built of stone, and kept up in repairs, chances are it's gone. Two hundred years between Oblivion and Skyrim is a lesser gap, but time takes a toll. Towns live and die, forgotten in the wind, and I'd imagine it's worse in a world where people can set things on fire with their hands.
The English mined stone from ancient abandoned castles until there were nothing left , to get materials to construct new buildings. Same with the Germans, Italians, French, Spanish, Portugese, etc. Hell, people today break down relatively old and abandoned building to recycle the material and construct new builsing on the lot. Then there are building not made out of stone, for instance wood, which would literally rot away due to lack of maintenance. What were precieved as cities back in the day eventually became abandoned and crubled, either due to natural disaster, epidemics, war, famine or just declining economics. Hell, we see Ivarstead declining in population, with young people from Ivarstead moving to Riften. People believe that if we abandoned the Golden Gate bridge in San Fransisco, after 100 years the metal used to build the bridge would corrode, crumble and collapse. There may be remains, but it's right above the sea. anything else that may remain may be scavenged and recycled by humans. There are exceptions, like buildings built to withstand most things, people preserving the building as a monument, and building constructed in present-day remote friggid and airid places tend to last longer. People like to think humans are good at preserving our old constructions, but we're not. Also, Bethesda retconns lore. Deal with it. Don't like it, don't buy the games. ALSO, ESO was released after Skyrim, why are we tailoring skyrim to fit ESO's repeatedly retconned lore instead of the other way around?
@@lordmaniac9775 You wrote a lot for a reply to a ten month old comment, especially when most the sentiment you stated was already in my original paragraph. Regardless, "don't like it, don't watch/buy" has always been such a stupid response perpetrated by those without rationale. If you like something, such as enjoying TES games, you have the right to criticize it. Complaints are valid, and gatekeeping those who do complain is how you kill a fanbase, as people grow tired of incessant fanboys claiming righteous indignation over genuine criticism. There's flaws in everything, including life, and what will you tell those who criticize their lives? Don't like it, stop living? The absurdity of it is enough to rise a chuckle out of me.
@@thetimesword8092 , don't get me wrong, its OK to criticize something from your hobby (eg. a videogame), maybe whoever is part of the thing (in this case Zenimax/bethesda) and take the criticism and use it to improve their next project. I wouldn't exactly call myself a fanboy, but some people treat Skyrim like the worst TES game. Even worse than ESO, even worse than Legends, somehow even worse than Blades. They act as if the game is unplayabe without mods (though with USLEP/USSEP thats true to some degree) or that Bethesda simplified the series for new fans, or stripped back features to make development easier or unesseccarily retconned lore (though they do that sometimes). I don't have any problems with people modding Skyrim to be more immersive or to be more lore friendly, or to add Thomas the Tank Engine into the game or adding Macho Man Randy Savage into the game, or installing Sex Lab into their game. it's THEIR game, they're free to do so. But people will make their games "lore friendly" by adding shit from Morrowind or Oblivion, because they're nostalgic for those games, with no real respect to the actual lore. I like the work behind Skywind and Skyblivion, I see it as real effort and passion put into remaking classic games, I also like the Beyond Skyrim series where they give you the option to return to a former province in Skyrim's time with speculative quests and events, but more respectful to the lore. I also don't mind people just adding stuff from Morrowind and Oblivion because they like the games and want to see stuff from those games return in Skyrim, but they don't have to act so smug about it and disguise it as "fixing Skyrim's unfaitful lore". You want respectul lore or whatever? Read a book or someting. TES gameplay will always be different from the lore. Tough, you also got the opposite end of the spectrum who would defend basegame skyrim with their lives and abhorr adding gameplay changing mods into the game. I think both groups are stupid.
That's what I was thinking, like Errosion alone would have buried the Anchor sites hundreds of years before Skyrim starts. and absolutely no wooden structure would survive more then a century without someone maintaining it. hell even for Oblivion and Morrowind stuff it's been 100 years.
As much as I like the idea of the Dolmen ruins and the Oblivion gate mods, I just have a hard time believing that they wouldn't have been pulled down by the locals.
It is cool to see Skyrim Wayshrines get covered. I did its SE port and addons for Moonpath, Darkend, and Beyond Skyrim: Bruma. It was tough to port from Skyrim LE thanks to a CK bug that impacted it and a limited number of other mods, but I think it was worth doing.
@@alenmack3471 Mostly implementation. I think the other one uses portals that are walked through rather than dialog to select the location. There are configurable teleport costs, a quest line, and addons for modded locations with SWIFT. Ultimately it is user preference, I just liked SWIFT enough to port it rather than using the other mod.
I mean wouldn't the nords and dwemer would have destroyed the ruins as they took over their territories it wouldn't have made sense for their to be any remains.
@@ShadowGun625 You could say the same for the Ayleid ruins in cyrodiil man. It doesn't have to make 100% realistic sense, it's about adding lore and character to the world
@@twoeyedyum That's the problem. Some mod conflicts can be avoided and others can't be. You don't need Bookcovers if you use Legacy, but if you use Legacy then you have to look mod by mod what else you can use.
Check out Wares of Tamriel by the Beyond Skyrim team. All the assets come from the main projects, so they all tie into other parts of Tamriel. They're sold by a trading ship that brings exotic items to Skyrim
I would think in the few hundred years in between oblivion and skyrim, the people of skyrim would completely destroy the oblivion gates and not leave any ruins behind
Pretty sure that would be the case, yeah. Like, why in any fucking universe would average people just leave gates to the Deadlands alone? They would destroy that as quick as possible.

You'r Skyrim overhauls are allways the most well crafted, recorded, narrated and overall impresive, i haven't watched the video yet and is an instant like for me!
This a pretty nice list but there's a lot more mods that HB didn't mention, so here's a list of stuff that goes well with it for anyone who might want more: --Legendary Cities - Adds some of the cities from Arena that didn't show up in Skyrim (some of them I believe were even in ESO) + ThirteenOrange's Laintar Dale, Oakwood and Amber Guard - adds 3 more cities that LC does not yet have(the author also made a Granite Hall mod, which LC also adds, so you can pick which one you prefer. --TES Legends Imports - Similar to ESO Imports adds a bunch of stuff from TES: Legends. Most of it is pretty inconsequential NPCs that add nice ambience, but there's also a few references to the actual Legends MQ and a few landmarks and stuff --Project ja-Kha'jay- Khajiit Diversity Overhaul - This one might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's a replacer for all of the named Khajiit in the vanilla game that replaces some of the NPCs with a bunch of new races from khajiit lore such as Ohmes and Ohmes-Rat featured in Arena and Daggerfall, or the ones from Morrowind, or several other ones seen in ESO and lore, essentially making the Khajiit NPC list as diverse as Khajiits are in lore. Also keeps some of the NPCs as the Khajiit type seen in Skyrim, but simply gives them more unique and HD faces. --Mihail's Sea Giants and Snowrays - Two different mods by famous monster mod author Mihail that add two different creatures from the games TES: Travels Dawnstar and Travels: Shadowkey (two old mobile spinoff set in Skyrim). These new creatures are added to specific locations, so you don't need to worry about suddenly having them show up in the leveled lists, and are integrated very well --Racial Body Morphs (or any other mod with a similar effect) - Gives each race it's own default height and weight, something that was present in previous games but that Skyrim did away with, for some reason, adding more visual diversity to NPCs. It also goes well with Project JKJ since that mod as it's own height differences for the different Khajiit types.
@@HeavyBurns of course, man! I seriously love and look forward to your themed mods and game change. Genuinely you are incredible with your editing, videos, and character man. Keep it up!
If all that’s present in ESO is a canon part of the TES lore, then I’d love to see Harrowstorms an/or Harrowstorm leftover ritual sites on the ground somewhere around Western Skyrim.
Surely the oblivion ruins would have been removed not left from both invasions. Also it’s been almost 200 years things change you can’t say the solthstiem would have the same enemy types etc
Thank you very much, Heavy Burns, for showing my work in your great video! It was so strange for me to see a person I've subscribed to for a long time adding videos to my mods on nexus. Good luck with your creativity! Sincerely, s6o6t.
Fantastic video and editing! But, if i can give my two cents: -the Oblivion gates could've easily been removed during the time span between Oblivion and Skyrim. So, while the mod is indeed immersive, i don't think it's really lore breaking to not have it. -the Dark Anchors do not leave the "metal" parts on the ground while disappearing in ESO, so only the Dolmen itself should really remain, and after a thousand years, they could easily be buried or destroyed completely. -while it would make sense to have Clannfears, Scamps and Daedroths as summonable creatures, it wouldn't really make sense for them to be roaming the land without being bound to a summoner, considering the Oblivion Crysis is long gone by Skyrim events. Scattered ones would've probably been killed in that time span, either by Men/Mer or by other wild creatures. -to Old Windhelm applies the same logic as Oblivion gates, the ruins of the city could've easily been removed, but the Barrow entrance is a nice addition. -isn't Karstaag a ghost in Elder Scrolls V? cause he's been killed by the Nerevarine in Elder Scrolls III. So him having a physical body doesn't make sense. All of the other mods are pretty nice. I especially liked the way ESO handled fast travel, so wayshrines are a really nice addition, Morrowind creatures too, even Minotaurs i'd say.
I might be wrong here, but doesn't ESO take place before Tiber Septim? So the events and landmarks could've changed when he achieved Chim, like didn't he change the wilderness in cyrodiil from a jungle to a forest?
It's a "Transcription Error" from a scribe. Jungle never exists, it was a forest all along. ... Yes, that's the reason according to TESO. Since then, it turned like a (bad) joke.
@@WilliamFarge the jungles definitely did exist at one point. We get to see them in ESO. We don’t know exactly why they disappeared only that it happened post-Merethic era and likely had something to do with the White Gold Tower.
One of my favorite lore-friendly mods is Open Cities Skyrim. Unfortunately the Author had some disagreements with Nexusmods so you have to go hunting for it, but it opens up every city to be loaded in the world, so no loading screens going into riften or Markarth or Solitude or Whiterun. It's relatively lightweight, and does include an option to add some destroyed and ruined Oblivion gates around the towns
I strongly disagree with the ESO additions. It has been some time since I was actively into the Elder Scrolls lore so the exact dates I don't remember, but I do know that ESO takes place 2 Era's before Skyrim. I'm gonna give a rough guess of 2000 years ago. Those ruins would have been long gone, either because nature has reclaimed them completely, like that old windhelm wood does not last that long, it would have rotted away completely by this point. Or the people who live nearby would have cleared the rubble. With ca 2000 years time, there probably wouldn't be much left from the ESO ruins. Most would have been cleared either because it ruins the view, or because it's free material to use. Now Oblivion takes place about 200 years ago. Again, plenty of time to remove the rubble from their cities if they wanted to. But it's much more believable to me that they haven't had time to waste to take care of the gates unlike the anchors.
every single video i watch on this channel blows me away, the editing is so magical and cinematic i can’t believe the quality. i constantly come back and rewatch videos because they are so visually pleasing and i can’t get enough of them
There are some aylied ruin mods which might be worth a mention as well. It seems peculiar to me that the aylieds just stopped on the modern border between the provinces.
What makes you think that skyrim inhabitants couldnt just have removed the old ruins, like old windhelm? You dont need to keep every house forever in time for it to be lorefriendly.
even without these additions, the game is still lore present. most of the events were literally thousands of years ago. In real life, almost everything from thousands of years ago is buried deep under the surface or completely destroyed.
it's been 1000 years between eso and skyrim, im not sure how decay works in the es universe but some of these places shouldn't be around, like the ruined taverns such as the grinning horker and old Windhelm
First. Kagoutis, guars, nyx hounds, and silt striders are endemic to the island of Vvardenfell, they have never been found outside the island. As you can see in the Bloodmoon expansion, Solstheim is inhabited by bears, wolves, horkers, spriggans, ricklings, trolls, and wild Nords. No cliff racers, no guars, no kagoutis. Second. After the oblivion gates are closed, they are almost completely destroyed. In the two hundred years that have passed since the events of the game, the remains of the gate have most likely been eroded and overgrown with moss and lichen, becoming indistinguishable from the surrounding landscape. It is also highly likely that the Nords (due to their superstitious fear and dislike of anything Daedric) could have completely destroyed what was left of the gate.

@@passingrando6457 I'm not even talking about the quality of writing (which is arguable) for the most part. But largely about the lack of respect for preexisting lore and the slapdash nature of ESO writing.
@@vcjuul9190 And what I'm saying (though I worded it poorly and went on a tangent the first time) is that Skyrim is exactly as respectful to prior series lore as ESO is.
Amazing production values on this, HB! I guess you skipped Daggerfall because it didn't have too many things different? I really want to play it. Maybe next.
Skip Daggerfall because it doesn't add much lore to skyrim but since you can actually go to Skyrim in TES arena a few locations have been reintroduced through the legendary cities mod series.
Other mods like reforging to the masses , heavy armoury can be considered semi lore friendly or simply for the sake or more weapon variety like in morrowind
@Jeremiah Burgan for once I think most of these ones were actually on Xbox. I think all the ESO ones, most of the oblivion ones and most of the morrowind creature mods. Or at least some variation of them
I'm with ya. Theres a couple in my load order that kind of break lore. Relics of hyrule... but the dev puts lots of effort to be lore friendly so j give it a pass. And darkend...cursed islands and realms of oblivion
@@trainman5675 No judgment here. I have that weird dancing bear spell mod that plays the guitar haha. The only non lore friendly mod in my load order, and it’s totally worth it.
After going through and installing all these mods, I discovered a large mass of clipping geography right around halldir's carin. The new locations added by Eso imports, wayshrines, and minotaurs are clipping into each other making some inaccessible. I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue and/or suggestions to fix
in the infernal city book it's stated that the reason there are no ruined oblivion gates in skyrim is because the people took them apart to use the stone to rebuild their houses in the 200 years between the oblivion crisis and the events of TES V:skyrim
I would have been happy just to see some long dead oblivion gates. It always irked me that they had just been ignored and forgotten from the history. Seeing dolmen remains added also is the cherry on top. A great selection of additions that do tremendous service to the lore and game overall. Great work, HB.
You can also add: Bantam Guars Mod (Ugly Chickens in ESO found in Morrowind), Skyshards Mod, and Imperial Centurion Armor Mod (The Imperial Racial Armor in ESO) for ESO immersion and Cliff Racers Mod and Solstheim - The Lost Levels Mod (The Lost Dungeons and Locations from Bloodmoon DLC) for Morrowind Immersion.
My experience with Skyrim: 1: Install and mod the shit out of it 2: Gets frustrated because the game is crashing 3: Uninstall it Videos like this make me want to repeat the cycle.
I remember when Skyrim came out! The mods for the game had released a couple of days earlier than the actual game xD That's when you know that you are dealing with a masterpiece of a game for sure!
that definitely was not a thing. how would you be able to make a mod for a game that hasn't released yet and you've got no access to any of its assets? impossible!
Just found your channel a couple of days ago and have practically gone through the majority of Skyrim content on both your channels! Amazing work, best I’ve ever seen
I thought ESO was released after skyrim, and also not lore friendly in itself to the point where some people claim it must have been a dragon break and why it had different lore not found in the main games. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know much about the game.
I've just done a 200 mod new install today trying different things and wow it looks incredible. Didn't think it would ever look that good. Really surprised. I've done mod loads before but man I duno what I did today but it looks gooooood
Just hit the ad but I'm already hooked. Great load order idea, I'm gonna add all these mods to the list of stuff required to start playing the game Great transition music between sections too
Yeah, rushing... But there is TES VI then? there where 5 Years between Oblivion and Skyrim. and there will be approximately twelfe years minimum between Elder Scrolls VI and Skyrim at besat.
@@acaelustheryn5409 i get that you dont like waiting, idk why youre telling me though, rushing is relative it has nothing to do with the amount of time the project in question takes, if it isnt finished upon release then it is rushed
While I do think the people would've destroyed all the Oblivion gates they can find, I love having Oblivion gates sprinkled around Skyrim because Oblivion is my favorite game so seeing ruins of oblivion gates gives me much needed serotonin
A mod I can't live without but adds to the game in a meaningful, presumably lore friendly way is the Skyshards mod, adding 108 Skyshards from ESO to random locations around Skyrim. It pairs well with perk overhauls and adds a fun little treasure hunt for those who enjoyed finding them in ESO. It fits with the rest of the mods mentioned well.
one thing that bothers me about Beth's worldbuilding, is that they think ~200 years isn't a long time, when in Reality, a lot of shit has happened within that span in our own world.
I really think Todd Howard will RE-re-re-re- release Skyrim after ESO done updating the skyrim parts, they will simply pack the eso ruins asset into the New Skyrim and call it a day. (Nah, come think of it, they will most likely add this assets into Cr3ati0n Club.
As someone who loves Elder Scrolls Online as much as I love Morrowind, Daggerfall, Oblivion, and Skyrim, it warmed my heart a lot to see ESO finally gt a bit of love from the modding community.

If you like something, such as enjoying TES games, you have the right to criticize it. Complaints are valid, and gatekeeping those who do complain is how you kill a fanbase, as people grow tired of incessant fanboys claiming righteous indignation over genuine criticism. There's flaws in everything, including life, and what will you tell those who criticize their lives? Don't like it, stop living? The absurdity of it is enough to rise a chuckle out of me.
@@thetimesword8092 , don't get me wrong, its OK to criticize something from your hobby (eg. a videogame), maybe whoever is part of the thing (in this case Zenimax/bethesda) and take the criticism and use it to improve their next project. I wouldn't exactly call myself a fanboy, but some people treat Skyrim like the worst TES game. Even worse than ESO, even worse than Legends, somehow even worse than Blades. They act as if the game is unplayabe without mods (though with USLEP/USSEP thats true to some degree) or that Bethesda simplified the series for new fans, or stripped back features to make development easier or unesseccarily retconned lore (though they do that sometimes).
I don't have any problems with people modding Skyrim to be more immersive or to be more lore friendly, or to add Thomas the Tank Engine into the game or adding Macho Man Randy Savage into the game, or installing Sex Lab into their game. it's THEIR game, they're free to do so. But people will make their games "lore friendly" by adding shit from Morrowind or Oblivion, because they're nostalgic for those games, with no real respect to the actual lore.
I like the work behind Skywind and Skyblivion, I see it as real effort and passion put into remaking classic games, I also like the Beyond Skyrim series where they give you the option to return to a former province in Skyrim's time with speculative quests and events, but more respectful to the lore. I also don't mind people just adding stuff from Morrowind and Oblivion because they like the games and want to see stuff from those games return in Skyrim, but they don't have to act so smug about it and disguise it as "fixing Skyrim's unfaitful lore". You want respectul lore or whatever? Read a book or someting. TES gameplay will always be different from the lore.
Tough, you also got the opposite end of the spectrum who would defend basegame skyrim with their lives and abhorr adding gameplay changing mods into the game. I think both groups are stupid.
That's what I was thinking, like Errosion alone would have buried the Anchor sites hundreds of years before Skyrim starts. and absolutely no wooden structure would survive more then a century without someone maintaining it.
hell even for Oblivion and Morrowind stuff it's been 100 years.
I think this is important to emphasize. a Thousand years of history means a lot of change both culturally and physically.
As someone who is an absolute sucker for lore, this is perfect!!

As much as I like the idea of the Dolmen ruins and the Oblivion gate mods, I just have a hard time believing that they wouldn't have been pulled down by the locals.
Dolman gates yes. Oblivion gates it would depend
It is cool to see Skyrim Wayshrines get covered. I did its SE port and addons for Moonpath, Darkend, and Beyond Skyrim: Bruma. It was tough to port from Skyrim LE thanks to a CK bug that impacted it and a limited number of other mods, but I think it was worth doing.
Thanks for your work.
i assumed wayshrines werent cannon, just for players. interesting.
@@Swaggerpede they aren't, but people should play the game how they want so I have no issue with ppl modding for their pleasure
What’s the difference between this and the other wayshrines mod by Arizona Steve? The only difference I know of is that WoT has an Xbox port.
@@alenmack3471 Mostly implementation. I think the other one uses portals that are walked through rather than dialog to select the location. There are configurable teleport costs, a quest line, and addons for modded locations with SWIFT. Ultimately it is user preference, I just liked SWIFT enough to port it rather than using the other mod.
A mod that isnt on nexus but fits this videos theme very well is ‘Falmeroon’. It adds snow elf ruins to parts of skyrim and feels very lore immersive.
I mean wouldn't the nords and dwemer would have destroyed the ruins as they took over their territories it wouldn't have made sense for their to be any remains.
@@ShadowGun625 they're probably not in inhabited areas, there wouldnt be any reason to destroy them if they weren't near the cities
@@ShadowGun625 You could say the same for the Ayleid ruins in cyrodiil man. It doesn't have to make 100% realistic sense, it's about adding lore and character to the world
Little side note, if you use the Legacy of the Dragonborn mod you don't need book covers of Skyrim as the content is already in it.
Hm, wouldn't it conflict with other mods from this list? I remember playing with LotD and seeing a lot of structures here and there.
@@twoeyedyum That's the problem. Some mod conflicts can be avoided and others can't be. You don't need Bookcovers if you use Legacy, but if you use Legacy then you have to look mod by mod what else you can use.

Pretty sure that would be the case, yeah. Like, why in any fucking universe would average people just leave gates to the Deadlands alone? They would destroy that as quick as possible.
Skyrim will be that game we pass down to our younger generations like a family heirloom

You'r Skyrim overhauls are allways the most well crafted, recorded, narrated and overall impresive, i haven't watched the video yet and is an instant like for me!
This a pretty nice list but there's a lot more mods that HB didn't mention, so here's a list of stuff that goes well with it for anyone who might want more:
--Legendary Cities - Adds some of the cities from Arena that didn't show up in Skyrim (some of them I believe were even in ESO) + ThirteenOrange's Laintar Dale, Oakwood and Amber Guard - adds 3 more cities that LC does not yet have(the author also made a Granite Hall mod, which LC also adds, so you can pick which one you prefer.
--TES Legends Imports - Similar to ESO Imports adds a bunch of stuff from TES: Legends. Most of it is pretty inconsequential NPCs that add nice ambience, but there's also a few references to the actual Legends MQ and a few landmarks and stuff
--Project ja-Kha'jay- Khajiit Diversity Overhaul - This one might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's a replacer for all of the named Khajiit in the vanilla game that replaces some of the NPCs with a bunch of new races from khajiit lore such as Ohmes and Ohmes-Rat featured in Arena and Daggerfall, or the ones from Morrowind, or several other ones seen in ESO and lore, essentially making the Khajiit NPC list as diverse as Khajiits are in lore. Also keeps some of the NPCs as the Khajiit type seen in Skyrim, but simply gives them more unique and HD faces.
--Mihail's Sea Giants and Snowrays - Two different mods by famous monster mod author Mihail that add two different creatures from the games TES: Travels Dawnstar and Travels: Shadowkey (two old mobile spinoff set in Skyrim). These new creatures are added to specific locations, so you don't need to worry about suddenly having them show up in the leveled lists, and are integrated very well
--Racial Body Morphs (or any other mod with a similar effect) - Gives each race it's own default height and weight, something that was present in previous games but that Skyrim did away with, for some reason, adding more visual diversity to NPCs. It also goes well with Project JKJ since that mod as it's own height differences for the different Khajiit types.
Thank you I'm definitely going to check out at least a couple of these!
Yet another flawless video my friend! Love how you have sections of mods along the three games lore. Very nice!

@@HeavyBurns of course, man! I seriously love and look forward to your themed mods and game change. Genuinely you are incredible with your editing, videos, and character man. Keep it up!
If all that’s present in ESO is a canon part of the TES lore, then I’d love to see Harrowstorms an/or Harrowstorm leftover ritual sites on the ground somewhere around Western Skyrim.
It is.
there'd be nothing left behind though, the ages old adage "nature reclaims all" very much applies here

Fantastic video and editing!
But, if i can give my two cents:
-the Oblivion gates could've easily been removed during the time span between Oblivion and Skyrim. So, while the mod is indeed immersive, i don't think it's really lore breaking to not have it.
-the Dark Anchors do not leave the "metal" parts on the ground while disappearing in ESO, so only the Dolmen itself should really remain, and after a thousand years, they could easily be buried or destroyed completely.
-while it would make sense to have Clannfears, Scamps and Daedroths as summonable creatures, it wouldn't really make sense for them to be roaming the land without being bound to a summoner, considering the Oblivion Crysis is long gone by Skyrim events. Scattered ones would've probably been killed in that time span, either by Men/Mer or by other wild creatures.
-to Old Windhelm applies the same logic as Oblivion gates, the ruins of the city could've easily been removed, but the Barrow entrance is a nice addition.
-isn't Karstaag a ghost in Elder Scrolls V? cause he's been killed by the Nerevarine in Elder Scrolls III. So him having a physical body doesn't make sense.
All of the other mods are pretty nice. I especially liked the way ESO handled fast travel, so wayshrines are a really nice addition, Morrowind creatures too, even Minotaurs i'd say.
3:39 I was so ready for him to say "16 times the detail."
For those planning to install ESO imports, you might want to mind the existing 5 bugs that come with the mod in the bugs section.
What's the solution then?
I might be wrong here, but doesn't ESO take place before Tiber Septim? So the events and landmarks could've changed when he achieved Chim, like didn't he change the wilderness in cyrodiil from a jungle to a forest?
It's a "Transcription Error" from a scribe. Jungle never exists, it was a forest all along.
...
Yes, that's the reason according to TESO. Since then, it turned like a (bad) joke.
@@WilliamFarge but if you have the power to reshape time and space, then the transcription by a scribe error could be part of Tiber Septim's plan
@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 This is a game with Nords, Dunmers and Argonians who are in the same team.
@@WilliamFarge the jungles definitely did exist at one point. We get to see them in ESO. We don’t know exactly why they disappeared only that it happened post-Merethic era and likely had something to do with the White Gold Tower.
Honestly just the anchors and oblivion gates make the game 100 times more lore accurate
i feel like the big time difference between the events of ESO and skyrim would be enough to make the anchors disappear
@@Ghilannugs there'd be some remnants, even if it's worn away. Stone discs, maybe cracked ones with something in the middle at least
@@natalyst ESO takes place on a separate timeline/kapa than the main series. It should have no effect on Skyrim's lore.
@@TechnoMinarchist where'd you get that from? lol
@@TechnoMinarchist This is made up
One of my favorite lore-friendly mods is Open Cities Skyrim. Unfortunately the Author had some disagreements with Nexusmods so you have to go hunting for it, but it opens up every city to be loaded in the world, so no loading screens going into riften or Markarth or Solitude or Whiterun. It's relatively lightweight, and does include an option to add some destroyed and ruined Oblivion gates around the towns
I strongly disagree with the ESO additions. It has been some time since I was actively into the Elder Scrolls lore so the exact dates I don't remember, but I do know that ESO takes place 2 Era's before Skyrim. I'm gonna give a rough guess of 2000 years ago. Those ruins would have been long gone, either because nature has reclaimed them completely, like that old windhelm wood does not last that long, it would have rotted away completely by this point. Or the people who live nearby would have cleared the rubble. With ca 2000 years time, there probably wouldn't be much left from the ESO ruins. Most would have been cleared either because it ruins the view, or because it's free material to use. Now Oblivion takes place about 200 years ago. Again, plenty of time to remove the rubble from their cities if they wanted to. But it's much more believable to me that they haven't had time to waste to take care of the gates unlike the anchors.
It's actually 1000 years

What makes you think that skyrim inhabitants couldnt just have removed the old ruins, like old windhelm? You dont need to keep every house forever in time for it to be lorefriendly.
even without these additions, the game is still lore present. most of the events were literally thousands of years ago. In real life, almost everything from thousands of years ago is buried deep under the surface or completely destroyed.
it's been 1000 years between eso and skyrim, im not sure how decay works in the es universe but some of these places shouldn't be around, like the ruined taverns such as the grinning horker and old Windhelm
First. Kagoutis, guars, nyx hounds, and silt striders are endemic to the island of Vvardenfell, they have never been found outside the island. As you can see in the Bloodmoon expansion, Solstheim is inhabited by bears, wolves, horkers, spriggans, ricklings, trolls, and wild Nords. No cliff racers, no guars, no kagoutis.
Second. After the oblivion gates are closed, they are almost completely destroyed. In the two hundred years that have passed since the events of the game, the remains of the gate have most likely been eroded and overgrown with moss and lichen, becoming indistinguishable from the surrounding landscape. It is also highly likely that the Nords (due to their superstitious fear and dislike of anything Daedric) could have completely destroyed what was left of the gate.
I can't wait to use these mods when I play skyrim extended cut.

The worst things to have happened to the Elder Scrolls were Todd Howard and Emil Pagliarulo.
I'd give Emil points for writing a bunch of the excellent questlines in Oblivion, especially the Dark Brotherhood, but he was head writer for Skyrim, so all credit is gone.
@@passingrando6457 I'm not even talking about the quality of writing (which is arguable) for the most part. But largely about the lack of respect for preexisting lore and the slapdash nature of ESO writing.
@@vcjuul9190 And what I'm saying (though I worded it poorly and went on a tangent the first time) is that Skyrim is exactly as respectful to prior series lore as ESO is.
Amazing production values on this, HB! I guess you skipped Daggerfall because it didn't have too many things different? I really want to play it. Maybe next.
Skip Daggerfall because it doesn't add much lore to skyrim but since you can actually go to Skyrim in TES arena a few locations have been reintroduced through the legendary cities mod series.
@@heathen273 theres also skygerfall
@@TheDarkblue57 There's also the travels series for which there are (understandably) very few mods, but in which you also visit Skyrim
Beyond Skyrim: Bruma is another good lore addition if you wish to add more Oblivion content
Other mods like reforging to the masses , heavy armoury can be considered semi lore friendly or simply for the sake or more weapon variety like in morrowind
You'd have thought that SOME Oblivion gates survived into the 4th era. Grabbing that one for certain.
Gotta love immersive mods. Never download anything but.
@Jeremiah Burgan There’s a few good ones on Xbox (that’s my main platform), just takes a while.

If anyone is curious the music at the beginning of the video is the Main Menu theme of Tomb Raider: Legends
After going through and installing all these mods, I discovered a large mass of clipping geography right around halldir's carin. The new locations added by Eso imports, wayshrines, and minotaurs are clipping into each other making some inaccessible. I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue and/or suggestions to fix
in the infernal city book it's stated that the reason there are no ruined oblivion gates in skyrim is because the people took them apart to use the stone to rebuild their houses in the 200 years between the oblivion crisis and the events of TES V:skyrim
I would have been happy just to see some long dead oblivion gates. It always irked me that they had just been ignored and forgotten from the history. Seeing dolmen remains added also is the cherry on top. A great selection of additions that do tremendous service to the lore and game overall. Great work, HB.
You can also add: Bantam Guars Mod (Ugly Chickens in ESO found in Morrowind), Skyshards Mod, and Imperial Centurion Armor Mod (The Imperial Racial Armor in ESO) for ESO immersion and Cliff Racers Mod and Solstheim - The Lost Levels Mod (The Lost Dungeons and Locations from Bloodmoon DLC) for Morrowind Immersion.

Awesome
A mod I can't live without but adds to the game in a meaningful, presumably lore friendly way is the Skyshards mod, adding 108 Skyshards from ESO to random locations around Skyrim. It pairs well with perk overhauls and adds a fun little treasure hunt for those who enjoyed finding them in ESO. It fits with the rest of the mods mentioned well.
one thing that bothers me about Beth's worldbuilding, is that they think ~200 years isn't a long time, when in Reality, a lot of shit has happened within that span in our own world.
200 years ago is 1821 a LOT has happened between then and now
I really think Todd Howard will RE-re-re-re- release Skyrim after ESO done updating the skyrim parts, they will simply pack the eso ruins asset into the New Skyrim and call it a day.
