I really like how this DLC makes me feel good, noble, right, responsible and so on. Everyone around you is so nice to you, quests are so holy and mission is purely good for everyone around you. Such a nice feeling quest.
Except the Stendarr section. While Kellen gets cured he still faced many years of a curse brought on by no fault of his own, not to mention everyone else in his family who died with it. Quite cruel for the god of mercy.
I'm still a tad annoyed that Bethesda want you to admit you're either nothing or a criminal. You would think that being the Champion of Cyrodil would at least be worthy of consideration. I could only imagine his reactions to the Nerevarine or Dragon Born.
@@thunderstudentwhitestrake hated all elves, hence why he slaughtered the khajit, thinking them elves, despite clearly having fur and cat features Aylieds did not have.
I never played any of the games you show on your channel and never will. The reason I'm watching your videos is my husband who played most of them and simply wanted to relive the stories that affected a great part of his childhood. One day, he discovered your channel because of your Diablo 1 playthrough that brought back so many good memories to him. I noticed him laughing so much. So I asked what was interesting about those games and if he would start that long-ass video again so I could watch with him from the beginning. I'm not a gamer, but I do recognise good stories, because I'm a hobby author. And I love your style of narrating, because you voice the thoughts of the player characters so well that even I was captivated. A regular let's play or playthrough would not have accomplished that, I think. So after that long-ass Diablo 1 video, I binged the rest of your Diablo content. The last video before this one that I watched was the latest Thieves Guild one. I am still trying to decipher who the Grey Fox might be. Every few minutes or so, I come up with another theory (It it a god in disguise? Is it a mortal being or is it rather a concept? So someone taking the mantle of Grey Fox and then somone else and so on ...), trying to get my husband to say "Yes, you got it!", but well, I'm not quite there yet. The 9-hour video regarding the Black Hand quest, I made my husband watch it with me in (almost) one sitting, because your narration was so engaging, so exciting. Your effort condenses these stories into gems of narration. TL;DR: Thank you, man. Really, you're incredible. Please never stop.
Haven't played this expansion yet, but I'm actually blown away. This DLC is probably the most engrossing TES narrative for me personally since Daggerfall.
@@DarkLOREDash Shivering Isles is kind of a novelty to me personally. I think it's a lot of fun, and I think I might share a braincell with Sheogorath. I'll admit, I'm not familiar with much of the deeper lore of it yet, so that's definitely something to research. As for my favorite daggerfall quest, it is hard to choose, but it's almost certainly one of the late game ones. I'd say it's somewhere between "Totem, Totem, Who gets the totem?" and "Journey to Aetherius", probably the latter as the first one is really just a major story decision, as opposed to Journey to Aetherius, which is an adventure into one of the most mysterious places in The Elder Scrolls. I'd also cite "The Mantella Revealed" as one of my favorites, but that quest is quite literally just a lore drop, nothing much else. The player gets several anonymous letters, which are actually from a few different semi-random factions the player has decent reputation with. TL;DR my favorite DF quest is probably Journey to Aetherius
Anyone else find it humorous that the Alieds who worshipped Maridia seem to have such an affinity for undeath. Lot's of undead in their ruins, and even a crown sought by a would be lich. Umeril himself seems to be some form of undead as well. Meridia really ought to have words with her followers.
Umaril isn't undead, and the undead in their ruins can easily be explained by either Necromancers, or their resting places otherwise being defiled, causing them to be restless. Also it's spelled Aylieds, Meridia and Umaril.
The Ayleids, though they did generally have a lot of respect of Meridia, were extremely varied in their Daedric and Divine patronage, worshipping everyone from Magnus to Sanguine to Meridia to Molag Bal to Mephala. Hell, the Mehrunes Razor DLC even takes place in an ancient testing ground for would be wielder’s of the Razor set up by the Ayleids. I’d say generally that the ruins populated by undead were either inhabited by more amoral Ayleids or are places where necromancers or vampires hang out
The prophet has to be one of my favorite npcs in any game. I know most people think Sheogorath is Wes Johnson's best performance, but man something about the way he speaks as the prophet is so mesmerizing.
Oh easy to put The Prophet over Sheogorath for me. I never cared how Sheogorath has this... laughing at his own jokes sort of performance. Like the only time he's NOT doing that is right as he's about to turn into Jyggalyg. And for a small moment I like the character as he transitions from "I laugh at my own farts" level character to something colder, darker, and more serious is the one redeeming moment for him, for me. The Prophet... I think people have a bad view of him because he mocks any finished questlines you might have done as basically your first interaction. He also has this sort of grating tone at times that... it sounds like he wanted to go for a bombastic almost shouting performance but wasn't allowed to actually shout and has this strained voice of trying to imply a shout at normal speaking level. But he had a few good moments and didn't generally overstay his welcome. Just popping in as the plot needed to nudge you along.
I think Knights of the Nine is my favorite dlc from Oblivion, even if I love the Shivering Isles and even the other little dlcs that we have. I don't know much why, I think that's because of the biblic/christian side of it (The fact that you have to be humble, clean, and truly devoted to the Nine to be able to complete the quests for example) and the big amount of lore that it added to the Elder Scrolls. Thank you mate for you huge work on this, I think that it wasn't easy at all. So congrats
Agreed! That’s why I always play this quest last. I like to have my character be chaotic neutral and do what they need to do to survive, but then giving them a redemption arc in the end.
Actually didn't the battle take place at the Zenith of the White-Gold Tower itself? Also btw Akatosh technically as he is Auri-El by another name Actually hates humans Alessia knowing that the people of Cyrodil wouldn't give up worship of Auriel but needing to keep the Nords of Skyrim appeased made up Akatosh favoring Auriel the most but adding in some aspects of Shor aka Lorkhan and it was actually Lorkhan who came to Queen Alessia and gifted blood from his "Heart" more then likely this was the Spectre of Lorkhan as while his body was dead Lorkhan's spirit remains ever changing as the twin moons
22:54 a point to note for this portion of the quest is that one of each shrine can be found around the imperial lake. Also, it is worth completing the pilgrim's way multiple times, as it will grant you an INCREDIBLE holy blessing spell on top of other bonuses. Totally worth it.
Firstly, it's called Lake Rumare, secondly there is no extra spell for repeating the Pilgrimage, turn off your mods and fact check before, or just read the UESP. The only spell you get is the Pilgrim's Grace upon your first completion of the Pilgrimage, provided you have no infamy. Otherwise it's granted upon completing it again. But no additional "Holy Blessings" are given besides the Pilgrim's Grace.
Your Oblivion videos are some of the best I’ve ever seen. If you did videos over every quest in the game like this I’d watch every single one. And that goes for ANY other elder scrolls game too! Any plans to tackle the other entries? Keep up the amazing work brother!
nice job! loved that. when i was a kid i used to watch my best friend’s older brother play oblivion. this brought me back to that feeling. i would love to see you do something like this with the shivering isles (if u haven’t already). REALLY GREAT WORK!
Damn I been binge watching your videos, you got that content content, need more recognition. Your edits, dialogue and voice make your videos top tier brobro
I wonder how many tries it took for that arrow to smite the fan like that. So much work for such a short clip - and all, completely worth it! Had me in tears xD
I wish someone would write a book between the Hero of Kvatch going missing and Skyrim. How the Mages Guild, Fighters Guild and Knights of Nine reacted to his absence. Like how the Battlehorn Castle Guard Captain meeting Oberyn and Raminus Polus to figure out what happen to the Hero of Kvatch. Such a great idea of a series.
I have put it in my head cannon that the hero of Kvatch somehow had a child before turning in to the mad god and that child was taken away by the blades (just like Martin) but the blades where then haunted down because of the talos thing the child was born in skyrim and went on a pilgrimage to the temple (the child knows of they're mother) of the one to see what they're mother did (I play as a female) after seeing everything they're mother did they went back to skyrim and was then taken as a prisoner (and that is when skyrim starts for me)
@ZeroOmega-vg8nq there were a dark elf, and if I remember correctly (and I could be wrong), they live for about 200 years. I think I would need to check it out to see if they do. But as I said, it's my head cannon, and I like to think that's how it went, but everyone has their own opinion on what happens/happened in that time frame Ps: I was just thinking about rewatching this, so thank you for replying to this so I could watch it again without typing it all out cheers
@@theghostofvarresh im all for headcanon but even that feels like a stretch if your character is a direct 1st generation descendant of Oblivion protag. Being a shezarine however way easier lol but hey your party friend
@ZeroOmega-vg8nq I checked the life span of dark elves, and they apparently live for 200 to 300 years, so it's possible for my character in skyrim to be a 1st generation descendant of the character in oblivion but they would be in the old age stages of life which I do make in skyrim must of the characters I make in skyrim are old looking so it could happen. It was nice talking to you my friend but now I must go and kill the world eater again for the 70th time now. Peace to my friend and have fun adventuring
@@DarkLOREDash Amongst many things I like about this video, I find it interesting that you let us see the dialogue for multiple options we can say as the player, even the “mean” things. It’s a good touch. I also love your own added dialogue and little bits of added story that makes this whole experience even more memorable. Bravo sir. 👏. P.S. - I hope you make more of these lol. Oblivion is timeless.
I love all the oblivion content. I hope the shivering isles will be coming at some point. Thanks so much for all the good work you do with this channel
I have not played KotN, every time you have retrieved a Relic, you have went back to the corresponding knight to update them on you retrieving the relic. Is there a reason you do not check back in with Sir Casimir after the gauntlets? You would figure that his lineage is now curse free would be something to tell him.
Truly, all of your works are a masterpiece unto themselves. Your quality and dedication are amazing. I can't tell you how much I enjoy every last one of your videos. You've been with me all through writing a bachelor's thesis and have kept me sane. Thank you for your wonderful work!
Thank you for the kind words! I hope your thesis goes well. It's 11:14 pm here & I'm hoping to get the next Shivering Isles uploaded by 1am so I can go to bed & wake up to more lovely comments 😍
Would have been nice (after compleating the shivering isles) When he asks what makes you worthy a reply was "I am a god and slayer of gods" but that could just be ego! 😊
Lmao... Bro, it is official. You are my favorite gaming youtuber. Been watching your stuff for the past few days. You're thorough and hilarious. Especially love your Legacy of Kain stuff. Classic!
"None of your achievements compares to what you have now become." ~ The Prophet Thumps a certain special staff on the ground in irritation. "Well now, ain't that a thing ya just said! Here! Hold my Wabbajack!" Rolls up sleeves. "You silly mortals! It's tiresome, but really, it's divine. DIVINELY TIRESOME! ALWAYS so sure of yourselves with ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to be! Even if you had one, what is reason in the face of madness?" Jovial, borderline maniacal, sh-t-eating grin. "Still, if it's a woopin' yer a'wantin'!-" ~Sheogorath What I imagine anyone who completed this questline after shivering isles wanted to say.
I can't wait for the full playthrough of the "Horse Armor" DLC! I understand you need to take your time with something so epic that is such an important part of gaming history. It needs to be done correctly, so by all means you take the time you need. This has only made me look forward to it more!
I've been sad bc I can't play oblivion bc my ps3 is officially clunked out and I don't wanna subscribe to PSnow for one game. You've been scratching the deep itch for oblivion story/lore I've needed scratching for....literally years. So thank you!
I always admired this DLC for representing the virtues of honor and redemption. Far too often, players in single-player rpgs are encouraged to either be 100% good or 100% evil in their playthroughs, or they risk missing out on cool rewards. For this quest, even if you've been a despicable person, you can still earn forgiveness by acting honorably and walking the pilgrims' way. Playing the prodigal son is one of my favorite tropes, and I'm so glad it's represented here.
my word man amazing work, i used to dog on you for only covering diablo content and i apologize for any harsh words spoken. this is a magnanimous undertaking im appreciate your endeavor.
Thank you soooo much ❤️. Such high quality i love diablo and diablo 2 lore of you. This is an other masterpiece. That had must be so much work. Thank you so much. You make me so happy. Its so cineastic so wonderfull. Danke thank you ❤️.
Always wanted the choice after beating the Shivering Isles: " I am the madgod!" "Wait....wait, what?! I-why would YOU help then?" "Because...mad?" "As well a answer as any I suppose..."
honestly I feel that's almost the point, really: your character can (and ultimately does, if we count skyrim specifically) fall from Grace, being the Crusader, to an Arena Champion, to a Thief, to a Murderer, to the Lord of Madness itself.
Damn, this plus some of the others is sorely tempting me to pick Oblivion up again. I do remember the leveling being crap though, then again I'm a PC gamer so thats easy to fix.
Imagine the time and effort the knights put into having a secret and cool way to the undercroft just to have some fat kid break through the glass ceiling by accident.
Very interesting video. I started a bit late with Oblivion and have only had GOTY. First time I played l of course heard about the attack on the temple. But there is much to distract you between the Imperial City and Anvil. Lots of things to discover the first time you are playing such a game. I arrived to Anvil and was warned by the guard and decided to put it off to later. I progressed in other parts of the game, and the attack didn’t really get mentioned. Many, many hours later I had actually managed to forget about it. The prophet was probably sleeping. The guard had left to patrol elsewhere. I arrived to Anvil late at night and decided to pop in to the chapel to make a quick prayer to restore some attributes. So completely had the whole attack slipped my mind that when I walked in. I was certainly wasn’t prepared for that. It took me awhile to remember the earlier comments.
My headcanon was after becoming Sheogorath i returned to Cyrodil and scattered my armor in various places of import. I put the helmet of the crusader facing toward the sea where I won my final battle against Umaril and left Cyrodil for the last time before my mind was no longer my own and the mantling process was completed.
The irony of fort bulwark being built to guard the shield ofvthe Crusader is that in the lower levelscofvthe fort is a vampirecnest guarding the Maruns razor, Irony.
15:23 it is my favorit part of any of my Oblivion playthrough, i allways keep this quest for last so i can watch the fool who doubt my ability and worthyness react to all of my earned titles.
Yeah and this pride is exactly why he doesn't think you're worthy. The Crusader is supposed to be humble, especially after pride brought down the original Knights of the Nine.
@@highlordlaughterofcanada8685 It is not Pride to know one worth it is lucidity, i did the acts owning my titles therfore it is not boasting to claim them but simply stating facts indicating to my interlocutor my ability and worth. It's like stating your diplomas and experiences at a job interview. You reasure the man in front of you that you have the ability to do his task by reffering to your past accomplishements.
@@bliblivion You just called the Prophet a fool because he wasn't impressed by your deeds. That's not lucidity, that's pride and ego. What you're doing bragging, not giving a resume. It's not what you've done that makes someone worthy of the relics, it's what kind of person they are. And humility is a big requirement.
@@highlordlaughterofcanada8685 he is a prophete yet i fail to recognise myself as the savior of Cyrodill he is a fool that's facts, my accomplishement are facts, they are the proof i am worthy of his quest, the relics will be the judges and since i managed to obtain the relics it is confirmed that i am worthy. It's nor pride nor ego it's recognising what happened before, i didn't inherit my titles through the actions of my Elders i earned them myslef.
I mean, fight or flight is a thing, Kynareth. If a bear attacks something in the forest, that something is decently likely to fight back. I'd say it's a lot less natural to cast calming magic on your attacker and become buddies.
@@DarkLOREDash I appreciate your skills and works on these videos I always worked with my hands a cabinet maker , but there was a time I was a gamer so now I like to watch other people like you play.

It’s a good touch. I also love your own added dialogue and little bits of added story that makes this whole experience even more memorable. Bravo sir. 👏. P.S. - I hope you make more of these lol. Oblivion is timeless.
Sir Junken sure showed us the ferocity of the North.
I AM ANGRY. ANGRY ABOUT ELVES.
I love all the oblivion content. I hope the shivering isles will be coming at some point. Thanks so much for all the good work you do with this channel
This is amazing. Thank you so much. God I love this game.
My pleasure!
I adore your narrative. Thank you for another great story!
Thank you! My pleasure
let there be known that this was so awesome I only skipped the most annoying of the ads!!
Thank you for this awesome movie!!
Thank you & my pleasure!
Thank you for making these Oblivion videos. Easily the best content creator on this subject. Goes for the KotOR stuff as well. :)
Huge compliment! Many many thanks 😊
So excited to watch all of this. Was holding off hoping this video would come!
Another vid to add to the sleep list. Nice work, Dash.
Thank you, sir!
@@DarkLOREDash I think you mean....
*Thank you, kind sir!*
I have not played KotN, every time you have retrieved a Relic, you have went back to the corresponding knight to update them on you retrieving the relic. Is there a reason you do not check back in with Sir Casimir after the gauntlets? You would figure that his lineage is now curse free would be something to tell him.
Truly, all of your works are a masterpiece unto themselves. Your quality and dedication are amazing. I can't tell you how much I enjoy every last one of your videos. You've been with me all through writing a bachelor's thesis and have kept me sane. Thank you for your wonderful work!
Thank you for the kind words! I hope your thesis goes well. It's 11:14 pm here & I'm hoping to get the next Shivering Isles uploaded by 1am so I can go to bed & wake up to more lovely comments 😍
I was really hoping the anvil guard would walk into the ocean like he was Godzilla.
Would have been nice (after compleating the shivering isles)
When he asks what makes you worthy a reply was "I am a god and slayer of gods" but that could just be ego! 😊
Lmao...
Bro, it is official. You are my favorite gaming youtuber. Been watching your stuff for the past few days. You're thorough and hilarious. Especially love your Legacy of Kain stuff. Classic!
Dude I found you recently and your narration is on point. Keep it up, I’m thoroughly enjoying your content!
Thank you,kindly!
"None of your achievements compares to what you have now become." ~ The Prophet
Thumps a certain special staff on the ground in irritation. "Well now, ain't that a thing ya just said! Here! Hold my Wabbajack!" Rolls up sleeves. "You silly mortals! It's tiresome, but really, it's divine. DIVINELY TIRESOME! ALWAYS so sure of yourselves with ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to be! Even if you had one, what is reason in the face of madness?" Jovial, borderline maniacal, sh-t-eating grin. "Still, if it's a woopin' yer a'wantin'!-" ~Sheogorath
What I imagine anyone who completed this questline after shivering isles wanted to say.
The Cheese Crusader is displeased.
Dude I've watched every episode of this dlc that u created well done mate I've enjoyed every minute of it👌💯
Thank you so much!
I had no idea you did this! Added to my long form playlist
50:34 BY THE STRENGTH AND GUIDANCE OF THE NINE👹👹👹
12:30 for a brief moment I thought "oh my god! that's the same voice actor as sheogorath!"... and then I remembered.
So glad TH-cam recommended you!
Thank you kindly!!
"we've been ordered to leave everything as it was until the investigation is complete" Immediately walks in and disturbs the bodies lol
Love watching these videos. Nostalgia kicks in. Back in my day, we didn't play on our phones lol
“By azura by azura by azura indeed” LMAO
I can't wait for the full playthrough of the "Horse Armor" DLC!
I understand you need to take your time with something so epic that is such an important part of gaming history. It needs to be done correctly, so by all means you take the time you need. This has only made me look forward to it more!
I've been sad bc I can't play oblivion bc my ps3 is officially clunked out and I don't wanna subscribe to PSnow for one game. You've been scratching the deep itch for oblivion story/lore I've needed scratching for....literally years. So thank you!
Its a 13 year old game. Get it for PC and play it on whatever you have. It could probably run on some refrigerators these days.
Nine Knights, Nine Gods, Nine objectives!
The Thalmor want to know your location
Call 999
Oblivion dialogue is the best…
Holy crap, I didn't even notice this gem when it graced us 3 months ago!
Imma watch it to the end, right now at 2:58 AM.
I always admired this DLC for representing the virtues of honor and redemption.
Far too often, players in single-player rpgs are encouraged to either be 100% good or 100% evil in their playthroughs, or they risk missing out on cool rewards.
For this quest, even if you've been a despicable person, you can still earn forgiveness by acting honorably and walking the pilgrims' way. Playing the prodigal son is one of my favorite tropes, and I'm so glad it's represented here.
Those lunging attacks with the Mace ragdolling people will never get old.
my word man amazing work, i used to dog on you for only covering diablo content and i apologize for any harsh words spoken. this is a magnanimous undertaking im appreciate your endeavor.
The tables have turned! I kid, I appreciate it. Some ppl never wanted me to stop Diablo!
Honestly, I love watching videos like this because I don't usually finish longer games like these, I'd watch you cover a lot more titles!
Thank you soooo much ❤️. Such high quality i love diablo and diablo 2 lore of you. This is an other masterpiece. That had must be so much work. Thank you so much. You make me so happy. Its so cineastic so wonderfull. Danke thank you ❤️.
My pleasure, Peter!
The prophet sounds passive aggressive no matter how you introduce yourself
Always wanted the choice after beating the Shivering Isles:
" I am the madgod!"
"Wait....wait, what?! I-why would YOU help then?"
"Because...mad?"
"As well a answer as any I suppose..."
Now dats some dedication & work 💯
What a comfy series!
Did you know that the Crusader armor Levels Up when you do, So in general it keeps getting stronger.
Thats insane!
@@DarkLOREDash A neat little thing i learnt by watching videos on youtube, Keep up the GREAT Work.
That's pretty great. I hate it how supposedly important armaments become obsolete if you get them at a lower level.
@@DarkLOREDash They left out the part where you have to place the relics back on the display rack in the undercroft to get them to level, but yes.
0:48 is the literal moment I clicked on this video for
Kinda ironic that after all this, your character goes and becomes Sheogorath.
honestly I feel that's almost the point, really: your character can (and ultimately does, if we count skyrim specifically) fall from Grace, being the Crusader, to an Arena Champion, to a Thief, to a Murderer, to the Lord of Madness itself.
I love your storytelling narration! It makes these long videos so pleasing listen to, its like listening to an audio drama.
Damn, this plus some of the others is sorely tempting me to pick Oblivion up again. I do remember the leveling being crap though, then again I'm a PC gamer so thats easy to fix.
i’m high as hell and was gonna type beautiful intro then the video ended
Shame you can't look the Prophet dead in the eye and say "I am Sheogorath, Prince of Madness". I'd kill to hear his reaction.
This was awesome, you should do this with the main quest and the shivering Isles.
Cool video dude!
Kellen's story is one of my favorites in Oblivion
It's so sad
Didnt realize this was a dlc. I just finished this dlc and thought it was an in game side quest.
I hope he makes more elder scrolls vids I love his lore vids
Imagine the time and effort the knights put into having a secret and cool way to the undercroft just to have some fat kid break through the glass ceiling by accident.
The DLC is much better than I remember. It's well written and supports good virtues.
Very interesting video. I started a bit late with Oblivion and have only had GOTY.
First time I played l of course heard about the attack on the temple. But there is much to distract you between the Imperial City and Anvil.
Lots of things to discover the first time you are playing such a game.
I arrived to Anvil and was warned by the guard and decided to put it off to later.
I progressed in other parts of the game, and the attack didn’t really get mentioned.
Many, many hours later I had actually managed to forget about it.
The prophet was probably sleeping.
The guard had left to patrol elsewhere.
I arrived to Anvil late at night and decided to pop in to the chapel to make a quick prayer to restore some attributes.
So completely had the whole attack slipped my mind that when I walked in.
I was certainly wasn’t prepared for that. It took me awhile to remember the earlier comments.
Really enjoy the whole trip, great series/format idea!
Thank you!!
LOVE THE CINEMATIC CAMERA SHOTS
Oblivion is such a masterpiece! I wish I could stream it
Holy hell, you can finish the DLC in less time than it takes to watch this vid xD
My headcanon was after becoming Sheogorath i returned to Cyrodil and scattered my armor in various places of import. I put the helmet of the crusader facing toward the sea where I won my final battle against Umaril and left Cyrodil for the last time before my mind was no longer my own and the mantling process was completed.
The irony of fort bulwark being built to guard the shield ofvthe Crusader is that in the lower levelscofvthe fort is a vampirecnest guarding the Maruns razor, Irony.
Fort Bulwark has no connection to Sundercliff Watch and were never connected, what are you on about?
A marvelous presentation, all hail Dark Lore Dash.
⭐️ This Is A Timeless Masterpiece ⭐️
Yay more oblivion content, my fav!
Every time I watch a DarkLore Dash video on Oblivion, it makes me want to fire up the PS3 and start questing. Keep up the great work brother. 🤘
45:39 a crimson "amulet of kings"... Berserk reference?
15:23 it is my favorit part of any of my Oblivion playthrough, i allways keep this quest for last so i can watch the fool who doubt my ability and worthyness react to all of my earned titles.
Yeah and this pride is exactly why he doesn't think you're worthy. The Crusader is supposed to be humble, especially after pride brought down the original Knights of the Nine.
@@highlordlaughterofcanada8685 It is not Pride to know one worth it is lucidity, i did the acts owning my titles therfore it is not boasting to claim them but simply stating facts indicating to my interlocutor my ability and worth.
It's like stating your diplomas and experiences at a job interview. You reasure the man in front of you that you have the ability to do his task by reffering to your past accomplishements.
@@bliblivion You just called the Prophet a fool because he wasn't impressed by your deeds. That's not lucidity, that's pride and ego. What you're doing bragging, not giving a resume. It's not what you've done that makes someone worthy of the relics, it's what kind of person they are. And humility is a big requirement.
@@highlordlaughterofcanada8685 he is a prophete yet i fail to recognise myself as the savior of Cyrodill he is a fool that's facts, my accomplishement are facts, they are the proof i am worthy of his quest, the relics will be the judges and since i managed to obtain the relics it is confirmed that i am worthy.
It's nor pride nor ego it's recognising what happened before, i didn't inherit my titles through the actions of my Elders i earned them myslef.
"Skyrim would be proud of this dungeon design"
I had to pause the video to laugh. Lovely burn.
1:40:34
This channel is my safe space. I feel at home whilst a story is being narrated by a disembodied smooth british scholar whilst the kettle boils.
Truly spectacular. A worthy rendition of an epic tale
I mean, fight or flight is a thing, Kynareth. If a bear attacks something in the forest, that something is decently likely to fight back. I'd say it's a lot less natural to cast calming magic on your attacker and become buddies.
How I did the dlc I missed Roderick. Now I'm sad I didn't get to meet him.
I did that quest it was a pain the azz , but it was fun great video and a great job young man.
Thank you!
@@DarkLOREDash I appreciate your skills and works on these videos I always worked with my hands a cabinet maker , but there was a time I was a gamer so now I like to watch other people like you play.
What happens if 2 knights each get a couple of the artifacts? Do they have to have a WWE smackdown to decide who is more holy?
They gotta recite so many prayers before Bautista bombing each other.
I want to know some of the visual mods you have. They are stunning.
