So Sybandis is literally a book about what you see when you open the creation kit. That bit at the end of it only being of interest to scholars interested in the construction of artificial worlds, is about modders. Nice job Trainwiz
"She wheels on me until I Lull" is definitely a quote for the history books. I played like 400 hours of modded Skyrim during the pandemic lockdown and then never touched it again, but for some reason this mod just popped back into my mind recently, this along with other mods like forgotten city are such gems that really elevate the lore and gameplay of skyrim.
I played this mod a few years ago and got stuck in the mine and gave up, a few weeks ago I decided to give it a second chance and completed this mod and I loved it, always love when mods addd deeper elder scrolls lore into Skyrim.
The voice acting is actually based on yagrums' original unused voice lines from morrowind. The voice actor matched the voice really well. Yes, it's kinda bad, but it was on purpose
If you liked this, then I highly recommend at least checking out Trainwiz's other ES mods, since while not as serious as this (no I'm serious) they are interesting and at the very least are good romps, not to mention that they aren't like an exact series (as in they share the same plotline) but they do reference each-other and the ideas. For example, a previous mod, Aethernautics, referenced the Chronographers (or at least the remains of some) and their mission, which I mention because that then leads to you gaining a Dwemer spaceship which, if memory serves right, gives you a spell which allows you to call down a fucking orbital artillery strike from it's cannon. What Trainwiz lacks in seriousness and canon-friendly lore he more than makes up for with sheer absurdity. This mod is basically the sequel to Sotha Sil Expanded for Morrowind, which is basically what it says on the tin (dealing with Sotha Sil and the Clockwork City and stuff) and sets up things that are used here. Also, I just recommend checking out his other mods in general, dude is legit a GOAT in the Bethesda nodding scene and when he's not shitposting has some of the best mods in terms of sheer quality or quality of life.
While I can certainly get behind the theory that Llavados is Vivec, I don't really see that as something he would do. If we know anything about Vivec, it's that he has a massive ego. A "defying cosmic revelations" sized ego. I don't see him accepting the rank of "millisecond" even if it's just for show. The leader of the chronographers is called the Eternity, and Numinar, the leader of Lull-Mor is Century. So it stands to reason that the longer the time frame, the higher the rank in chronographer society. Llavados-Vivec being ranked millisecond is basically giving him the rank of "you ain't shit" and I don't see Vivec taking that in stride. Still, the Enderal-style flashback, highlighting the whole "50%" theme with Llavados makes for a very compelling argument. And tying everything into Landfall and C0DA is a nice way to wrap up everything. I always do Wheels of Lull at the end of a playthrough because it's a great way to end things.
To be fair, it's been about 200 or more years since Vivec vanished (he left at around the beginning of the Oblivion Crisis) so that's plenty of time for him to probably humble himself and just tolerate being the lesser guy for show.
I loved this mod. I would like to find more like this, with futuristic themes and unique characters. I particularly loved the design of the characters and armor, very futuristic but at the same time simply strange.
Thanks for covering and explaining these DLC sized mods, right now my PC is busted so this is where i get my Skyrim fix. Suprised Bethesda called it quits at just 2.5 DLCs considering Skyrim is their license to print money (the new stuff in AE was only so-so). Thomas the tank engine and the bad guy standing behind you were nice touches. I got some questions tho -What mod are you planning on covering next? (i hear unslaad has been finished but cant confirm if true) -Do *you* think the Dragonborn is also a Shezzarine? (personally i lean towards "just" being Akatosh's demigod and a Prisoner being enough for the purposes of Skyrim) -What is the Backrooms?
To answer your questions: For the next 3-ish weeks I am going to be doing lighter videos. I don't want to burn out on these longer videos and these few days brought me close. I am not sure on mod will be done, but elder scroll wise, I am eyeing up the Murkmire DLC from eso just like I did the Clockwork city one atm. I also have to start preparing for Enderal, and that video will be the longest one I have done so far (probably 3 hours or more). Unslaad cannot be covered unless Glenmoril is done and voice acted. I think we will only know that for sure when TES 6 comes out and we hear what the characters have to say about the dragonborn, but given that he is a Ysmir and every single Ysmir is a Shezzarine, I am pretty sure he is one too. For the last question... I think you are in for a treat: th-cam.com/video/H4dGpz6cnHo/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=KanePixels
Absolutely amazing work. I thought I didn't miss anything important when I finished it, but I only now realised that Llavados is not Sotha Sil, but Vivec. Also right after Llavados' last speech at the end, the game kept crashing for me and I could never officially finish the mod. Apparently there was a patch to install to prevent that but I was too late. Also I guess you didn't speak about the underwater section which kinda took my breath and I don't know why, (god I hope I am not mistaking it for another mod) or the talking trolley. Anyways, thoroughly enjoyed it again and I am looking forward to your future videos.
Why does Llavados sound like a mix of Septimus Signus and a hunchback that will surely not steb me in the back with a poisoned dagger the moment I look another way?
So the name “Vivek” is pretty common in Indian communities. I have a friend with that name. He enjoys RPGs and once I introduced him to the Elder Scrolls, esp Morrowind and these fan projects, his ego has grown to match that of his CHIM namesake…. So I Fus Ro Dah’d him. Into the swimming pool, multiple times. He can’t swim. It was funny watching him sputter in the shallow end though. Edit: such a shame he can’t toggle collision out of that one.
For me the mod broke when i got to snow thoat. If i hit any of the thalmor experiments with the shield it crashed, but running past them meant the final boss never loaded in.
I don't know if the functionality is implemented, but I did some data mining in the mod and found a "cell" -- basically what the engine calls rooms -- tied to the Idiot's Lantern. It seems the idea is if you use the lantern too many times, you get dropped into this cell and you're stuck there forever.
I played through Lull once, i had a great time but ultimately decided that it's not my kind of mod. A lot of its existing lore is based on Clockwork City, a DLC sized mod for Morrowind, which i also played through a few times. Multiple characters from Lull also appear in its predecessor, including Numinar. Funny enough, when i played through this mod for the first time, every single fabricant NPC were t-posing due to incompatibility with a skeleton mod. I kind of disagree with the theory you made at the end of the video, though. Magnus's workshop is also a place in Clockwork city, where Nerevarine encounters Sotha Sil's dead body. In his final moments, Sotha sil uploaded his consciousness into the mainframe, but Almalexia ended up killing Sotha's body before the transfer was completed. At that point, Nerevarine has an option to either upload Sotha Sil's mind into the mainframe, allowing him to watch over Clockwork city forever until he goes insane and Nerevarine has to put him down. Or destroy the console and end Sotha Sil. I would argue that Llavados may be an extension or maybe a robotic body with the soul of Sotha Sil. Only he can know so much about the clockwork city's features, definitely more than Vivec would ever know. And when Llavados says that they met dragonborn before might refer to clockwork city, opening up a theory that Nerevarine may have been Shezarrine as well. Llavados literally met Shezarr before in his previous form, of course Dragonborn can't remember such an event. And when he says he "owes a favor to an old friend who he left neglected" he is referring to Nerevar himself and his betrayal. Sotha was the one who made up the idea of the living gods, he visioned the future with the tribunal ruling over morrowind. Also when he calls himself the "architect" just seals this theory. He was so deep into the school of alteration, he most likely would have found a way to create a being of clockwork with a soul and make them exist. (Perhaps using soul gems or not, since in the ESO lore, he is the one who created soul gems in the first place.)
That is a very good theory. I was aware that that might be it, but a few things pushed me towards Vivec. Mainly his split nature which resembles Vivec (idk if it made sense in the brainstorming flashback but he always does things both way, Half and half, mortal and finite, right and wrong). Also Llavados mentions that he will be present during hte landfall and I don't remember Sil being there in any way, but Vivec will. His house also looks like Vivec's temple, but that might just be me looking into things too much. That being said, I think this is very much a "Wait, you still haven't told me your name" type situation... if you know what I mean.
I personally really hated this mod, mostly because of how everything looked way too futuristic for skyrim, even by dwemer standards. I'd get it if it looked dwemer, but this looks more like the orokin from warframe. There are more than just dwemer-inspired things. Neon lights, fully sentient automatons, and the worst crime of all: televisions. As soon as I started the quest, I was a little weirded out by the robo guy approaching me. I thought that I'd give it the benefit of the doubt and really enjoyed the haunted mines bit. ...Then, it goes downhill. The boss fight was so mundane I couldn't help but sigh when fighting the giant ghosts, but that was expected. I was playing a vampire with the nolvus mod set so I was bound to be super strong with vampiric drain. Alright, I'll give it a pass. Then all of a sudden it goes from "oh hey, these are some interesting looking dwarven assets" to "why the hell are there holographic monitors and what looks to be a clan dojo from warframe?" It was so uncanny and ruined my entire vibe for the playthrough. I really wish they had stuck with the dwarven style of things, making it look magically powered instead of just actual electronic technology.
Then you'd be disappointed to know that all this "electronic technology" is actually canon to the lore. Not exactly the same armor/weapons and items, but in TESO there are some places that are very similar to this style. And it doesn't have much to do with the dwemers
5:50 I’d say the options are more CHIM-itless Edit: I just got to the part about Memory. So is she sort of like a black box system for Nirn? Like, she has or is the blueprint to rebuild the Nirn LEGO set when it gets knocked over?
yea, I have a few smaller videos in the making, but hopefully Enderal should be ready within the next 2 months or so. I wish I could make it sooner but from what I can gather this is shaping up to be the biggest video I have made so far.
2:09 what is this clip called? I searched exactly what he said, but all that comes up is a load of unironically cringe attempts at the satirical cringe here.
Please continue with this kind of videos, they are great

Nice job Trainwiz
Trainwiz described Llavados as a sane person trying to sound insane when I asked him for a summary of his character
"She wheels on me until I Lull" is definitely a quote for the history books.

I hear "Loveletter from the 5th Era" and I wake
This really CHIM'd my weekend.
I played this mod a few years ago and got stuck in the mine and gave up, a few weeks ago I decided to give it a second chance and completed this mod and I loved it, always love when mods addd deeper elder scrolls lore into Skyrim.
Your underrated man, love watching your vids
Found your channel yesterday , I'm watching all your vids now
5:50 *the* option here, is truly clipping-less
are you telling me Llavadas.. WAS VIVEK O_O
Damn this vid is criminally under watched, granted it's extremely niche and has deep lore, but still!!
The Enderal style flashback is simply brilliant!
Loving all these covering of mods, please keep doing them and all the best to you!
I feel like they did Yagrum kinda dirty with the voice acting 😂
The voice acting is actually based on yagrums' original unused voice lines from morrowind. The voice actor matched the voice really well. Yes, it's kinda bad, but it was on purpose

It's like the frontier in Skyrim if it wasn't made by DeviantArt users

Nice video! I really liked it. Same as the vigilant one.

13 min in and I feel like I’m listening to a ff14 endwalker story video

YES, FINALLY
Great Video Cotho

Thet jokes were terrible. Please do more
Also, the numbers in front of the NPC's reminds me of Vegapunk
5:50 I’d say the options are more CHIM-itless
Edit: I just got to the part about Memory. So is she sort of like a black box system for Nirn? Like, she has or is the blueprint to rebuild the Nirn LEGO set when it gets knocked over?
So which mod do you plan to cover next? Enderal?
yea, I have a few smaller videos in the making, but hopefully Enderal should be ready within the next 2 months or so. I wish I could make it sooner but from what I can gather this is shaping up to be the biggest video I have made so far.
47:03 why the fuc would one write phi as placeholder for c0da when you can just put the actual symbol right there?
Will you make one of the Clockwork Castle ?
Where can i read the Quora, or however it's spelled
It's all over the search results when you just search "c0da elder scrolls" on Google.
@@cotho. thank you
:{D
2:09 what is this clip called? I searched exactly what he said, but all that comes up is a load of unironically cringe attempts at the satirical cringe here.
Worst quest line I’ve ever played from any game, absolute garbage. Only mod I removed from Nolvus
Rich coming from someone who played modern shooters.
