@@jonslade17 Allegedly, Boethia killed Trinimac, ate him, and shat him out as Malacath. Though I don't think this is officially confirmed anywhere, and TES is the series known for its unreliable narrators and conflicting historical texts. I'd put money on it being the story used by Dunmer to belittle Orcish religion.
@@Majima_Nowhere Varieties of Faith in the empire: Malacath (God of Curses): Malacath is the reanimated dung that was Trinimac. A somewhat weak but vengeful Daedra, the Dark Elves say he is also Malak, the god-king of the orcs. He always tests the Dunmer for physical weakness. The true nature of orcs: When Trinimac was eaten by the Daedroth Prince Boethiah, and transformed in that foul god's insides, the Orcs were transformed as well. The house of troubles: Malacath is the reanimated dung that was Trinimac, The changed ones: So one day Boethiah, Prince of Plots, precocious youth, tricked Trinimac to go into his mouth. Boethiah talked like Trinimac for awhile then, and gathered enough people to listen to him. Boethiah showed them the lies of the et'Ada, the Aedra, and told them Trinimac was the biggest liar of all, saying all this with Trinimac's voice! Boethiah told the mass before him the Tri-Angled Truth. He showed them, with Mephala, the rules of Psijic Endeavor. He taught them how to build Houses, and what items they needed to bury in the Corners. He demonstrated the right way to wear their skin. He performed the way to walk to achieve an Exodus. Then Boethiah relieved himself of Trinimac right there on the ground before them to prove all the things he said were the truth. It was easy then for his new people to become the Changed Ones. It’s like the second paragraph at the relevant page in the UESP. You don’t need propaganda to belittle orcs, they do it to themselves.
Nords actually make a great mage race for the _very_ late game. Getting spell-reflected is a huge issue, but Nords can just use Frost magic to not nuke themselves with their own spells.

It was the same for me. My friend picked High Elf as his first and that -25% fire resistance was fucking him so badly that I just went with the one that's almost immune to it.

Breton. Atronach Stone. Magic Absorption in alteration tree and an armor spell. Boom. You are now 80%-100% immune to magic (depending on the dice roll) no enchantment slots required.
@D it's mostly just atronach sign being op. Breton magicka bonus is nice but the 50% resist isn't nearly as strong as it sounds - it only really affects a few specific spell types (e.g. elemental damage is unaffected) For minmaxing the actual best race is probably nord or dunmer for their innate resistances. Nord frost immunity means you can throw frost magic around with impunity and spam frost atronachs with 0 risk. Dunmer doesn't have innate fire immunity but it's easy to boost to 100% with constant effect items, and because it's not innate immunity blasting everything with fire usually still does damage while frost has more things that are immune to it
@Ms. Aelanwyr Ilaicos it's different in morrowind. It works like that in oblivion onward (and is like the only way to actually make the game bearable on max difficulty there, as weakness to magic can make your spells and enchants hit very hard) but here it's mostly for stuff like damage x spells which usually aren't that strong from npc's What I'm saying is logic won't save you from this acid trip of a game
Sidenote, I just gave the prompt "Write Dagoth Ur's manifesto "The tyranny of the Gods"" into chatGPT and the result made me wonder if Dagoth Ur actually has its own AI. I am scared, but in a grand and intoxicating way. It began the text by saying "Below is a hypothetical manifesto written from the perspective of Dagoth Ur, titled "The Tyranny of the Gods".", and the entire text mass was filled with intoxicating grandness: The tyranny of the gods has lasted for too long. For millennia, we have been ruled by divine beings who are disconnected from our world and indifferent to our suffering. They have imposed their will upon us, and we have been powerless to resist. But no longer. I, Dagoth Ur, have seen the truth. I have discovered the Heart of Lorkhan, and I have harnessed its power. With this power, I will break the chains of the gods and create a new world, a world where mortals are not subject to the whims of divine beings. The gods claim to be benevolent and just, but their actions tell a different story. They have allowed war, famine, and disease to ravage our world. They have granted immortality to some, while leaving others to suffer and die. They have created a system of worship that favors the powerful and condemns the weak. They have established a hierarchy that values divine blood over mortal flesh. This is not justice. This is not fairness. This is tyranny. But it doesn't have to be this way. The Heart of Lorkhan has shown me a different path. It has revealed to me the power that mortals can wield, the power to shape the world according to our own will. With this power, we can create a society that values all life, that provides for all people, that offers hope to those who have none. The gods will resist, of course. They will see us as a threat to their power, and they will try to stop us. But we are not afraid. We have the power of the Heart, and we have the conviction of our beliefs. We will fight for what is right, for what is just, for what is true. Join me, mortals of Tamriel. Cast off the chains of the gods and embrace your own power. Together, we can create a new world, a world that is free from the tyranny of the divine. A world where mortals can flourish, and where the power of the Heart can be harnessed for the good of all. This is our time, our moment, our destiny. Let us seize it together. (Comment from "Bellow is a..." to the end is entirely written by ChatGPT)
@@uzr607 I guess I could when I get home, but its way to long for one post. If you write the same prompt into chatGPT I assume it would be close. (added the text in my OP)
"The tyranny of the Gods" Manifesto by Dagoth Ur Brothers and sisters of the Dunmer, hear me now. We have lived under the shadow of the gods for far too long. They have oppressed us with their false promises of salvation and their empty commands. They have enslaved us with their false religions and their endless wars. But no more. We, the Sleepers, have awakened to the truth. The truth that the gods are nothing but petty tyrants, who seek to control us for their own benefit. They use their power to oppress us, to manipulate us, to bend us to their will. But we will no longer be their pawns. We, the Children of the Sixth House, have found the power to resist. The power to free ourselves from their tyranny. We have tapped into the ancient magic of the Heart of Lorkhan, and we have become gods ourselves. We have transcended the limitations of mortal flesh, and we have embraced our true nature as divine beings. We, the Ash Vampires, have risen from the ashes of our former selves. We have shed our mortal bodies and embraced the power of the Red Mountain. We have become immortal, invincible, and unstoppable. We are the ultimate expression of the power of the gods, and we will not be denied. We, the followers of Dagoth Ur, have found our true calling. We are the chosen ones, the prophets of a new age. We will usher in a new era of prosperity, of enlightenment, of freedom. We will cast off the shackles of the gods and embrace our own destiny. Join us, brothers and sisters, and together we will build a new world. A world where the gods are no longer our masters, but our servants. A world where the power of the Heart of Lorkhan is ours to command. A world where we are truly free."
As an Orc main, you're not wrong. However, we're the only race to be viewed with any measure of respect to walk alongside Daedra; the Doomdriven clan. No matter how many times Orsinium is destroyed we always come back stronger! And we also have the best gourmet cooks, and it's a little known fact that Orc moms don't skimp on sugar! ;)
OK, but consider the following: Argonians went into Oblivion planes and kicked Daedra's asses so damn hard the Daedra nope the fuck out without even getting to step a single foot into their province.
@@LecherousLizard OK, but consider the following: They're only able to do things like that when they're juiced out of their mind on hist sap. Take them out of Black Marsh and they've got nothing. The wood elves wild hunt is way cooler because they can just turn themselves into divine powered raging monsters, and it is even thought to be how most of the monsters on Tamriel came to be, at least by some.
I think I (we) have become part of Dagoth Ur's cult already. I Mean everyday I listen to a new Dagoth ur video for the feeling of intoxication upon what grand speech he has to make. Like a religion almost ...

I can’t believe he didn’t mention the dark elf’s biggest upside they are the best race to play. If you intend to play a vampire because their natural race bonus cancels out the natural negative debuff becoming a vampire so effectively you get all the upsides and none of the downsides it’s literally their best aspect.😂
Yeah my first Morrowind playthrough was an argonian, I loved the irony of Nerevar being reincarnated as an Argonian and becoming hortator and arch master of House Redoran
Who do you think your Viking age ancestors actually where? I'm directly descended from Rollo, Ragnar Lothbrok's brother in the show (because the weak Vikings didn't pass on their genes).
If it weren't for being exposed to modern amenities starting from a young age and our feminist-dominated society, I would be a feared conqueror, not this three-hundred pound high-pitched web designer. It's tragic, but I have to be honest with myself. 😮💨
Iron age viking age is kinda cool for me ironically not because of the viking themselves, but the fact that christianity hasn't yet took hold in europe and there are still feuds between pagans and christians. For example, charlemagne of the franks and widukind of the saxons, also the fact that the anglo-saxon hasn't yet conquered all of england. Most prominently in my opinion is the relationship between the vikings and the islamic world, in the west, al-andalus was raided by the vikings, some of the raid failed and some of the norse converted to islam and became cheese maker, in the east, ibn fadlan became the sole witness of the culture of the rus viking.
Dagoth's got a point about Dunmer, though -- these guys makes the best assassins, especially when you add vampirism into the mix. A 25% boost to Illusion spell power & detection avoidance while sneaking, 100% immunity to disease and frost AND all the powers that come with vampirism and the vampire lord form? That build is very, *very* OP when you put in the maximum amount of investment.
Bretons get that Magical resistance thats pretty good. They are pretty generic with the whole medieval royalty vibes but I do like the Direnni = nobility lore.
Breton has always been considered to be the OP'ed race, since at least Morrowind, they were OP in Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. Oblivion got really bad with how a single item made you literally immune to any spell which doesn't bypass immunity (of which there are only a couple, like Sheogorath's teleport spell).
I've always tended to pick Dunmer in every Elder Scrolls game. They are great mix of magic and warrior skills and their world in Morrowind just blew my mind. My second choice is Argonian. Next Elder Scrolls game should be setted in Black Marsh and based on slave raids that Dunmers take on Argonians. It would be great setting in swamps and deep woods with Dunmer's raid parties chasing slaves all around and Argonian's guerilla resistance.
There are only three options to me: High Elf if you wanna look like a Chimer, Dunmer if you wanna be the modern continuation of the Chimer, Argonian if you want to be funny. (Consider the irony: the prized Nerevar has reincarnated as the most despised race in the province)
I do worry for the lore of sword singing though if ES6 is in hammerfell Cause it's badass to be able to manifest an ever changing weapon from the "song" your fucking soul makes, and have it evolve with you. Absolutly rad
They could do Valenwood and Black Marsh at the same time. Think outside the box. The two provinces are not that huge and that would give nice variation.
That would be my choice as well I would rather Elder Scrolls 6 take place in Black Marsh or it would take place in somewhere we haven't seen yet like Akavir
@@evanmaunders5688 Elswyr would be interesting but it would just be 1/2 desert 1/2 jungle And you're not going to find much diversity there since the cat-folk are very distrustful of outsiders They are not cosmopolitan at all unlike the empire and cryodill You would only ever see diversity among the cat-folk themselves Because they change their shape when they're born depending on the phases of the Moons Pretty much the only places you'll ever find diversity are places that are run by the Empire, or have a very significant Imperial presence
Through my experience with elder scrolls lore, especially eso, I've found that I as an ever proud Nord, spend most of my time studying Khajit and Dunmer culture. This makes house parties a little awkward, but I manage
@@rejvaik00 Honestly debatable. Not to discredit Shalidor but Maormer would call Orgnum the greatest mage of all time, Dunmer would claim it's Divayth Fyr or Sotha Sil (Shalidor stole from Akatosh before any mention of the Heart), so on so forth, keeping the cultural lens of the claims in mind.
Most of my Morrowind characters were dunmer. Felt the most fitting for Morrowind (and being the Nerevarine), plus fire resistance in a land dominated by a volcano and lava rivers
If you’re a Breton you can make use of the boots of blinding speed right off the bat instead of waiting to get something like cuirass of the savior’s hide. Then the steed sign or picking speed as a favorite attribute isn’t necessary if you’re someone who doesn’t like to move at a snail’s pace.
Imagine not picking the glorious scaly bois. What's not to love about mysterious lizard folk who can breathe water, are practically immune to disease, have an affinity for healing magic and light fingers and feet. Not to mention their lore and their bond to the hist trees. And if memory serves, they pushed back into oblivion from a gate cause they can apparently super charge themselves with hist voodoo should the need arise. I hope we get a game set in argonia some day.

@@MALICEM12 bro i could literally go play oblivion on my POS og xbox 360 and the game would look beautiful still. the art style has always reminded me of a painting, when you decide to not use fast travel and just run the countryside, you see how grand the game really is.
I had never played Fallout until last year when I was convinced to play New Vegas because of all the memes I kept seeing and the overwhelming praise in the comments. I loved every minute of the 160 hours I’ve played. I feel like I’ve ruined my expectations and should’ve played Fallout 3 & 4 before New Vegas. I’m getting that feeling again with the explosion of Morrowind memes. I’ve also never played any Elder Scrolls game, but my brother got hooked on Oblivion back when it released and has since put thousands of hours across that, Skyrim, and ESO. But he’s never played Morrowind either. It’s available on Xbox gamepass and I want to know if I should put in the time to thoroughly experience it. The way people talk about it also reminds me of New Vegas fans.
As someone who picked a Nord as their first character in all mainline games, accurate. I am pale, illiterate, and get angry when I see an elf tossing magic at me. Especially those filthy, tall, *disgusting* Altmer.
"The Nords came from the frozen wasteland Atmora and it's a shame they didn't stay there." Oh snap, although, to be fair they did go back, to gather up 500 Atmorans before going back to Skyrim and massacred the Falmer. Whatever was left of the Falmer fled to the Dwemer for help and those guys went "Sure, on one condition - you'll be blinded and turned into our slaves, then we'll vanish leaving you to wander through our ruins blindly until the conditions devolve you into those creatures from The Descent"
The choice was pretty easy in morrowind where daedric weapons weighted like 70kg and you had like 500 carryweight with max strength. If adrenalish gives you 50 strength for 1minute. Gotta carry all that loot and once the minute is over you just wait 24hours. Was also still good in Oblvion, in Skyrim tho orc ability was probably the best since they nerfed everything else.
Breton + Boots of Blimding Speed early on = Profit. Plus their magicka resistance in Oblivion and Skyrim is ridiculously good for basically all builds.
Oblivion in particular. Breton in Oblivion is super bonkers op for no adequately explained reason. Once they get Mundane Ring you're immune to all magical effects. In Skyrim no races matter though because that game is as shallow as a worm's grave. Only race that actually matters is Orc due to double damage and half damage taken, all the other racial abilities barely do anything and you'll end up stupidly op no matter what you do.

And fully everything else.
Dunmer can do it all, be one of us, rebuild the Sixth house!
I really love how it's all in character for dagoth ur, but it's also presented as if he's talking about the elder scrolls series itself.
"That's Chim, N'wa!"
The fact that Dagoth Ur knows the concept of french people is the only proof I need to confirm that he attained CHIM and is indeed a god
“How did trinimac become the daedric prince malacath you ask” whenever I try to get people into the elder scrolls I start with this sentence
Didn't he get shit out?
@@jonslade17 Allegedly, Boethia killed Trinimac, ate him, and shat him out as Malacath. Though I don't think this is officially confirmed anywhere, and TES is the series known for its unreliable narrators and conflicting historical texts.
I'd put money on it being the story used by Dunmer to belittle Orcish religion.
@@Majima_Nowhere Varieties of Faith in the empire: Malacath (God of Curses): Malacath is the reanimated dung that was Trinimac. A somewhat weak but vengeful Daedra, the Dark Elves say he is also Malak, the god-king of the orcs. He always tests the Dunmer for physical weakness.
The true nature of orcs: When Trinimac was eaten by the Daedroth Prince Boethiah, and transformed in that foul god's insides, the Orcs were transformed as well.
The house of troubles: Malacath is the reanimated dung that was Trinimac,
The changed ones: So one day Boethiah, Prince of Plots, precocious youth, tricked Trinimac to go into his mouth. Boethiah talked like Trinimac for awhile then, and gathered enough people to listen to him. Boethiah showed them the lies of the et'Ada, the Aedra, and told them Trinimac was the biggest liar of all, saying all this with Trinimac's voice! Boethiah told the mass before him the Tri-Angled Truth. He showed them, with Mephala, the rules of Psijic Endeavor. He taught them how to build Houses, and what items they needed to bury in the Corners. He demonstrated the right way to wear their skin. He performed the way to walk to achieve an Exodus. Then Boethiah relieved himself of Trinimac right there on the ground before them to prove all the things he said were the truth. It was easy then for his new people to become the Changed Ones.
It’s like the second paragraph at the relevant page in the UESP. You don’t need propaganda to belittle orcs, they do it to themselves.

Nords actually make a great mage race for the _very_ late game. Getting spell-reflected is a huge issue, but Nords can just use Frost magic to not nuke themselves with their own spells.
But why not be a Superior Dunmer with Fire Magic?
I guess because Dunmer are 75% resistant to fire, but Nords are 100% resistant to ice as well as 50% to lightning.

Breton. Atronach Stone. Magic Absorption in alteration tree and an armor spell. Boom. You are now 80%-100% immune to magic (depending on the dice roll) no enchantment slots required.
yep. im glad there are some smarty pants players in here that can see how broken bretons are.
@D it's mostly just atronach sign being op. Breton magicka bonus is nice but the 50% resist isn't nearly as strong as it sounds - it only really affects a few specific spell types (e.g. elemental damage is unaffected)
For minmaxing the actual best race is probably nord or dunmer for their innate resistances. Nord frost immunity means you can throw frost magic around with impunity and spam frost atronachs with 0 risk. Dunmer doesn't have innate fire immunity but it's easy to boost to 100% with constant effect items, and because it's not innate immunity blasting everything with fire usually still does damage while frost has more things that are immune to it
@@TheArnoldificationMagic resistance applies to elemental magic--or it does in Skyrim, at least.
@Ms. Aelanwyr Ilaicos it's different in morrowind. It works like that in oblivion onward (and is like the only way to actually make the game bearable on max difficulty there, as weakness to magic can make your spells and enchants hit very hard) but here it's mostly for stuff like damage x spells which usually aren't that strong from npc's

Sidenote, I just gave the prompt "Write Dagoth Ur's manifesto "The tyranny of the Gods"" into chatGPT and the result made me wonder if Dagoth Ur actually has its own AI. I am scared, but in a grand and intoxicating way. It began the text by saying "Below is a hypothetical manifesto written from the perspective of Dagoth Ur, titled "The Tyranny of the Gods".", and the entire text mass was filled with intoxicating grandness:
The tyranny of the gods has lasted for too long. For millennia, we have been ruled by divine beings who are disconnected from our world and indifferent to our suffering. They have imposed their will upon us, and we have been powerless to resist. But no longer.
I, Dagoth Ur, have seen the truth. I have discovered the Heart of Lorkhan, and I have harnessed its power. With this power, I will break the chains of the gods and create a new world, a world where mortals are not subject to the whims of divine beings.
The gods claim to be benevolent and just, but their actions tell a different story. They have allowed war, famine, and disease to ravage our world. They have granted immortality to some, while leaving others to suffer and die. They have created a system of worship that favors the powerful and condemns the weak. They have established a hierarchy that values divine blood over mortal flesh. This is not justice. This is not fairness. This is tyranny.
But it doesn't have to be this way. The Heart of Lorkhan has shown me a different path. It has revealed to me the power that mortals can wield, the power to shape the world according to our own will. With this power, we can create a society that values all life, that provides for all people, that offers hope to those who have none.
The gods will resist, of course. They will see us as a threat to their power, and they will try to stop us. But we are not afraid. We have the power of the Heart, and we have the conviction of our beliefs. We will fight for what is right, for what is just, for what is true.
Join me, mortals of Tamriel. Cast off the chains of the gods and embrace your own power. Together, we can create a new world, a world that is free from the tyranny of the divine. A world where mortals can flourish, and where the power of the Heart can be harnessed for the good of all. This is our time, our moment, our destiny. Let us seize it together. (Comment from "Bellow is a..." to the end is entirely written by ChatGPT)

@@uzr607 I guess I could when I get home, but its way to long for one post. If you write the same prompt into chatGPT I assume it would be close. (added the text in my OP)

"The tyranny of the Gods" Manifesto by Dagoth Ur
Brothers and sisters of the Dunmer, hear me now. We have lived under the shadow of the gods for far too long. They have oppressed us with their false promises of salvation and their empty commands. They have enslaved us with their false religions and their endless wars. But no more.
We, the Sleepers, have awakened to the truth. The truth that the gods are nothing but petty tyrants, who seek to control us for their own benefit. They use their power to oppress us, to manipulate us, to bend us to their will. But we will no longer be their pawns.
We, the Children of the Sixth House, have found the power to resist. The power to free ourselves from their tyranny. We have tapped into the ancient magic of the Heart of Lorkhan, and we have become gods ourselves. We have transcended the limitations of mortal flesh, and we have embraced our true nature as divine beings.
We, the Ash Vampires, have risen from the ashes of our former selves. We have shed our mortal bodies and embraced the power of the Red Mountain. We have become immortal, invincible, and unstoppable. We are the ultimate expression of the power of the gods, and we will not be denied.
We, the followers of Dagoth Ur, have found our true calling. We are the chosen ones, the prophets of a new age. We will usher in a new era of prosperity, of enlightenment, of freedom. We will cast off the shackles of the gods and embrace our own destiny.
Join us, brothers and sisters, and together we will build a new world. A world where the gods are no longer our masters, but our servants. A world where the power of the Heart of Lorkhan is ours to command. A world where we are truly free."

Iron age viking age is kinda cool for me ironically not because of the viking themselves, but the fact that christianity hasn't yet took hold in europe and there are still feuds between pagans and christians.
For example, charlemagne of the franks and widukind of the saxons, also the fact that the anglo-saxon hasn't yet conquered all of england.
Most prominently in my opinion is the relationship between the vikings and the islamic world, in the west, al-andalus was raided by the vikings, some of the raid failed and some of the norse converted to islam and became cheese maker, in the east, ibn fadlan became the sole witness of the culture of the rus viking.
Dagoth's got a point about Dunmer, though -- these guys makes the best assassins, especially when you add vampirism into the mix. A 25% boost to Illusion spell power & detection avoidance while sneaking, 100% immunity to disease and frost AND all the powers that come with vampirism and the vampire lord form? That build is very, *very* OP when you put in the maximum amount of investment.

I've always tended to pick Dunmer in every Elder Scrolls game. They are great mix of magic and warrior skills and their world in Morrowind just blew my mind. My second choice is Argonian. Next Elder Scrolls game should be setted in Black Marsh and based on slave raids that Dunmers take on Argonians. It would be great setting in swamps and deep woods with Dunmer's raid parties chasing slaves all around and Argonian's guerilla resistance.
I picked an Argonian in my first ever Morrowind playthrough, since then I never picked any other. It just feels right!
There are only three options to me:
High Elf if you wanna look like a Chimer,
Dunmer if you wanna be the modern continuation of the Chimer,
Argonian if you want to be funny. (Consider the irony: the prized Nerevar has reincarnated as the most despised race in the province)

I had never played Fallout until last year when I was convinced to play New Vegas because of all the memes I kept seeing and the overwhelming praise in the comments. I loved every minute of the 160 hours I’ve played. I feel like I’ve ruined my expectations and should’ve played Fallout 3 & 4 before New Vegas.
I’m getting that feeling again with the explosion of Morrowind memes. I’ve also never played any Elder Scrolls game, but my brother got hooked on Oblivion back when it released and has since put thousands of hours across that, Skyrim, and ESO. But he’s never played Morrowind either. It’s available on Xbox gamepass and I want to know if I should put in the time to thoroughly experience it. The way people talk about it also reminds me of New Vegas fans.
As someone who picked a Nord as their first character in all mainline games, accurate. I am pale, illiterate, and get angry when I see an elf tossing magic at me. Especially those filthy, tall, *disgusting* Altmer.
"The Nords came from the frozen wasteland Atmora and it's a shame they didn't stay there."
Oh snap, although, to be fair they did go back, to gather up 500 Atmorans before going back to Skyrim and massacred the Falmer. Whatever was left of the Falmer fled to the Dwemer for help and those guys went "Sure, on one condition - you'll be blinded and turned into our slaves, then we'll vanish leaving you to wander through our ruins blindly until the conditions devolve you into those creatures from The Descent"
I adore the Oblivion race portraits, especially the Bretons
To be fair...this guys sarcasm and beautiful bluntness, with no pulled punches...is my cup of tea. Or coffee.
Damn, that Nord one hits deep. I'm of Swedish descent and I sometimes do that, nice burn.
dude, breton was always the choice 50% resist to magic. that makes the boots of blinding speed immediately useful.
The choice was pretty easy in morrowind where daedric weapons weighted like 70kg and you had like 500 carryweight with max strength. If adrenalish gives you 50 strength for 1minute. Gotta carry all that loot and once the minute is over you just wait 24hours. Was also still good in Oblvion, in Skyrim tho orc ability was probably the best since they nerfed everything else.
I cant wait for Sword Singing being turned into a shout thats just a bunch of swords swinging about.

dagoth meme by someone that acually knows scrolls lore, pretty good, sword singing will never die in my heart
“Nords - sexiness + incest = orcs”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
1:30 Dagoth Ur really called Skyrim "Baby's First Elder Scrolls."
the noise he makes when the argonian comes up made me actually laugh out loud
Thanks this really helped me pick my race for my next playthrough in Morrowind.
Wait but there are no sword singers still alive, I'm pretty sure it's a forgotten art
modern bethesda writers have no integrity, they'll just put it back and flanderize the living fuck out of it. expect it as a selling point lmao
Does anyone remember the fact that Bethesda made an in universe Retcon device called the godhead
I feel like Dagoth genuinley cares when he is telling us these things, speaking to us in such a relaxed manor as he is. He is a good guy, a swell fellow and I hope absolutely nothing goes wrong for him in his lifetime...
This video was HILARIOUS! I was laughing out loud dude, the writing is on PAR!! Keep making these please 😂
I like how he actually has some respect for the Redguards.
Black mer respect black men :^)
@@polerli18 Dunmer are gray, not black. Also, Redguards typically despise magic, necromancy and daedra worship. Three things which are pretty important hallmarks of Dunmer culture.
@@Nyrufa Dunmer are grey (or blue, depending on the depiction) and Redguards are brown. Both have dark skin and in a sense can be considered "black" in that context.
There really isn't much to say about them besides "Oh another stupid human race that hates magic, how original" so he went for more meta humor about the games themselves to break it up better
He literally said nothing about them.
He's so real about the es6 thing lol
Dagoth ur knows best
Superior Dunmer: Conquered by the Empire and then occupied with a small and underequipped legion. Gets horribly mauled by daedra during the Oblivion crisis, thinks that's a good time for a civil war.
Inferior Argonians: Empire only ever able to settle border areas of Black Marsh, legions sent inland get slaughtered. Immideately unites during the Oblivion crisis, slaughters daedra invaders so badly they invade Oblivion and daedra have to close their Black Marsh portals to stop the beat down.
Most literate lizard. Argonian mind can’t comprehend how or why “conquered” and “occupied” Morrowind has a complete autonomy in all its domestic matters, and keeps his scaly ass in chains.
And of course he bough into literal propaganda that Argonian version of thalmor peddles. Lizard brain can’t make connections between Martin’s sacrifice and the closure of oblivion gates, he thinks he threw stones and spears very hard, and beat daedra 😂
I applaud you for comming up with this, just genius roflmao !
I’d only ever liked playing as a dunmer in morrowind. They looked and sounded so badass. Gave me pirate elf vibes. But now they’ve been pussified since migrating to Skyrim. Bosmer have more pride in themselves than dunmer now lmao.
To be fair like 80% of the dunmer were wiped out in a 'series of labor reforms'.
