I was really not that impacted by the goodbye at first. Then he said "dread zombie" and I realized how he intended this to end. Damn. That was heartbreaking.
i would have loved it if at some point during the peace negotiations somehow the courier with Benor's inheritance came barging in, ignoring the tense political debate, handing over the gold then naffing off without a word just because you killed him to not have groaning in the background.
Paarthurnax seems like the dora the explorer of the elder scrolls series. He constantly repeats in english what he previously said in dragon language, like he's trying to teach you that language one basic word at a time.
And so marks the end of the hero and his story as he turns to ash beside the villain who had sent him to his grave, broght him back from death to be used as a puppet before she realized her wrong doing and accepted her final mistake of the past before turining him to ash so that it may never be repeated again and move on to do good.
R.I.P Benor. Husband, adventurer, trusted companion and self proclaimed toughest in morthal. We will forever be missed, god rest your soul in soverguard. You are now free
To be fair, I would love a video of Jon puzzling his way through the language of the Dovah... Then every episode could be titled in Dovahzuul, and we'd all have a great time figuring out the meaning of each episode.
Almost choked on some candy when I read this for like the third or fourth time. (I've seen this series a few times) But imagining her arriving and say "Oh...a pile of ash..." and sweeps it into the water.
I never really thought about it, but aren't the Thalmor hunting the remnants of the Blades? You know, the two people sitting right on the other side of Arngeir in Blade uniforms? You'd think the Thalmor agent there would have something to say about that.
true to her word, she was only there to make sure they didn't violate the concordat, and on an individual basis probably realised they were the only people besides the Greybeards that knew anything about how to defeat Alduin.
That was quite sad actually. It had gotten to the point were I thought Benor had overstayed his welcome, but seeing that I kind of hate to see him go actually. It's funny how that works. Jon made Benor into a real fleshed out character that the game itself never could. So I'm glad he had a good send off, he deserved it. R.I.P Benor, gone but not forgotten.
Best comment by Jon: "Ulfric…you know what he gets up to in his own time when he’s not Jarling. That’s his business. If he wants to keep, you know a personal guard, just waiting in his chambers and also if he wants to get visited by a guy who’s name is…um…l-l-lets just move on! Lets just move on!" The name he was referring to: Galmar Stone-Fist
From would-be guard to a man who found the fast way down mountains. From husband to thrall. Farewell Benor. May you rest in Sovngarde with the great heroes: waiting for your love to reunite with you in the afterlife. Or she may become a vampire again. We don't know with Jon. But maybe, that's the reason they fell in love; the unpredictable and unique times that they had.
"Specialize in meddling in matters they barely understand..." As a former member of the Vvardenfell branch of the Blades, I assure you we have no clue what we're doing. Our own leader was recalled and our orders were, "keep on keeping on" and that's how we liked it! (huffs) 'Barely understand what we're doing...' I'll have you know that one of our members destroyed the heart of the true 9th divine, Lorkhan, using the same tools that were responsible for the disappearance of the Dwarves! So screw off Arngeir, if that IS your real name!
As a former member of the Cryodillic blades I concur. Yeah our emperor was assassinated under our protection but we did protect his son. Sorta. But, but one of our members did help defeat the daedric prince during the oblivion crisis! So ha.
Oh Jon, little known fact Ulfric Stormcloak hates Elenwen mainly because she was in charge of... "Interrogating" him when he was captured durring the great war, just thought i'd let you know.
yeah, its pretty easy to pit two forces against one another when you take an extremely strong willed and powerful man and intentionally align the Empire with the person he holds responsible for the most horrific experience he has ever had, and also force the Empire to betray him on multiple occasions.
I hate it when people say that Ulfric is a Thalmor spy just because they saw that one youtube video. All that was implied in game is that Ulfric's rebellion is useful to the Thalmor as it would weaken the Empire.
Bennor gets murdered at the slum you decided was worth Trading Markarth for. You even execute him prior to negotiations so he doesn't have to hear the treachery of his Deathbed. Then you execute him in Riften ontop of your Balcony! I truly believe that the "accident" that befell you on your wedding night was a severe premonition of how seriously flawed the relationship was. Bennor was better of with his Wife being Murdered outside the Tavern that he consumed the marriage prior to comital. BUT that will forever be an alternate universe.
These are some of the best episodes, we’re you really lean into the role play and create very dramatic sequences. Kudos and please keep it up! Makes these adventures MORE than just gameplay!
Plot twist: Jon's Illusion magic was so powerful that he managed to convince the entire police force of Windhelm to think many many years had gone by when actually it was only 8 days. that's why the guard afterwards was so impressed it's not because you managed to fool the entire town guard but he thinks you cast an illusion on yourself to look like not a day had gone by.
As I tear up just a little with that ending I can't help but smile while I picture Jon looting Benor's ash pile for all the stuff he was still hauling around.
Aww, Benor's disapproving groans of angst and being just generally fed up (and absolutely nothing else) were my favourite part of the cutscenes. "Dragons have returned!" - "Urgghhhhhhhhh....."
If you climb to the peak of the throat of the world, opposite Parthunax's world wall, there is a pickaxe that boosts smithing by 5. Also a bunch of good ores.
I think the problem Ulfric has is that winterhold borders on Ulfrics capital hold windhelm and that makes it very easy for the empire to launch an attack on windhelm winterhold may not be rich but strategy wise it's a great hold.
I think the Empire got the better deal because the Stormcloaks have no hope of actually holding Markarth as it is in the middle of Imperial territory. Meanwhile, Winterhold, as stated, is good place to hit Ulfric's supply lines from.
Markarth IS well fortified though, the walls are huge and the defences extensive, whereas Ulfric could send a boat over from Windhelm a catapault parked up by the shrine of Azura and probably raze Winterhold to the ground in 20 minutes flat.
Don't forget the forsworn rebels. Even without imperial attacks, the stormcloaks can't hold it. Ulfric should have asked for something else, but he wanted that symbolic victory damnit.
A beautiful end for Benor, tasteful fade to black, touching emotional flashbacks in his final moments.... im really happy with how you did this Jon. touched on the connection we had to him that we didn't even realise, but on the bright side, he wont die by your hand anymore and, AND 2 Moira's.
I find it stupid that he says random words in the dragon language. Imagine you had a French friend every time they spoke to you was like 'Do you want to go to the marché, the market'
I don't mind him speaking a word or two of Dovah from time to time. But always translating it makes it completely unnecessary for him to be doing that. If he wasn't always translating the player would actually have to think a bit to know what he just said.
Did you expect no one on the Many A True NERD comments section to do the maths? There was a particular person who counted how many times the word "good" was said in multiple Fallout Series on this channel.
I wish one of these RPG's would let you join a faction but _only_ if you prove yourself worthy and competent to their ideals. As in, not just "Go find me a thing then we'll make you our leader" I'm talking doing a few lessons, learning some history of the faction, being quizzed on it and having to get it right, doing the correct military salute etc etc It'd be cool to feel like a *part* of these factions rather than just some random dude who found a few trinkets and has since been handed the crown jewels because why not. This would in turn make it harder to be an everyman because you'd have to know each factions lore, if you start messing crap up they'll suspect you're not committed...or are committed elsewhere. Which would make obligatory spy infiltrations much more exciting because it wouldn't just be "You 100% trust me remember, I killed like 4 wolves how could I possibly not have access to all your secrets" It'd be nice to have to get indoctrinated in to factions in reasonable ways, would be easier to care about and understand them. For all the times I've played Skyrim I've never cared about either side there's just "The racist shortsighted ones" and "The not racist ones that are bossed around by elves but hoping to revolt some day"
BoW HitUrGSpot I was going to say the same. So many factions to join, so much interplay between them all with some directly impacting on progress between them.
Now this is why I decided to support Jon on Patreon. He is the ONLY youtuber for me that can make a game so much more than it is and for that I thank you sir.
I like how the dragons talk its like someone of a different language repeats them selves in there language then in another lol, its like saying you baka then saying right after idiot XD
Jon, Markarth may be rich but it's got some problems. 1. It's a long way from Stormcloak territory 2. It's full of rebellious murderhobos called the Forsworn. 3. The Silverblood family own the guards and all the money flowing through Markarth, and they favor the Empire if I remember correctly. Ulfric probably only asked for Markarth because they betrayed him after he helped them drive out the reachmen, but it was a terrible ask since he can't possibly hold it. Meanwhile, winterhold is CLOSE to windhelm, a direct and constant threat that can easily be resupplied by sea. Plus, the college could provide useful services for people who don't hold magic as taboo against the wold like the stormcloaks seem to think.
You started talking about this being your last time together, and having just played a necromancer I knew, AND STILL I was not prepared. That memory montage.
Fun fact: Elder Scrolls games don't seem to track the actual year, so Jon could well have spent multiple years + 8 days in jug and you'd only be able to tell exactly how long from the stats screen ;) My current character in Morrowind will probably experience the Oblivion Crisis before she gets round to finishing Morrowind's main quest, at the rate i'm timewasting :P
there is a mod I think for special edition that brings all the dead people u killed or was killed by someone or something to Sovngarde would be an epic reunion with Benor when u go there to fight Alduin
Jon Skyrim starts on the 17th of Last Seed(August), 4E 201 and its currently the middle of Sun's Height(July), 4E 202 so your in game time is almost exactly 11 months, not years
The implications about Ulfric and Galmar, especially the hinting at Galmar's name, were bloody hilarious, and later the bit with Balgruuf as well. Aside from that, the reason for Odahviing to show up when he's called isn't so much name magic, more like shouting a challenge, and Odahviing being headstrong and proud interests him enough to show up, especially since it's the Dragonborn who just handed Alduin his ass calling him.
You know Jon I'm still not convinced his corpse was still there after you killed benor the first time, but the story you created between your character and benor was great fun to watch for I don't know 70 or so parts. Sad this series is winding down. Been here sense part 1 and loved every minute. Thank you sir, can't wait till the next episode.
a blade and a thalmor in the same room? Aren't they in hiding from them, and Esbern openly speaks of Dephine while a thalmor is listening? No wonder they are all dead.
Markarth for Winterhold wasn't that bad of a deal for the Imperials. It puts them at a good advantage. There are other ways to travel around Markarth, and now the Stormcloaks have to deal with the Forsworn problems (and the hagravens that come with them), but Winterhold puts the Imperials dead center of all the trade routes the Stormcloaks have to take, and gives them influence over the college to lead the students towards an Imperial world view. Essentially, they could surround Ulfric with their main army, branch out their less powerful forces from other holds to take back Markarth, as well as gain Riften, and still have men in reserve in case any plans go awry. If Winterhold gets invaded by the Stormcloaks, logically the college will defend it and buy enough time for reinforcements to arrive. Taking back Riften would mean having to deal with Maven (I really don't like her...) which will cost more gold than the Imperials are probably wanting to dish, and the Theif's Guild is there, but.... Yeah, not exactly a militia that may be willing to help. Tactically, this choice was a great decision, so it's understandable that Ulfric's bitter over it and Tullius is thrilled.
Nothing Bethesda has made has caused me to feel a genuine emotion. But somehow a crazed necromancer who has gone through many different changes who finally said goodbye to her husband and turned him to ash for good measure, that made me bawl my eyes out, thanks Jon.
I usually get over emotional when it comes to the companions. I'm very afraid they will die at some point so I usually don't travel with them. When I stumble upon a companion I always let them go as so fast I can. If it's a mission companion eg. Serana, after the mission is done I just walk with them to their home and make sure they are 100% safe. It just breaks my heart when they say stuff like "oh, well then, you don't need me anymore, I'll be waiting for you, don't worry". *now imagine what this ending did to my soft squishy heart*
RIP Benor. Fearless in death as he was in life.
I'm losing my shit over the seriousness of the comment coupled with your profile picture.
Fat Man I'm glad people got the joke!
HIDDLY HO NEIGHBORINO
We'll see him one last time before the end.
I was really not that impacted by the goodbye at first. Then he said "dread zombie" and I realized how he intended this to end. Damn. That was heartbreaking.
i would have loved it if at some point during the peace negotiations somehow the courier with Benor's inheritance came barging in, ignoring the tense political debate, handing over the gold then naffing off without a word just because you killed him to not have groaning in the background.
Benor right now: "Death, dark... dangerous..."
Only Jon could turn a Skyrim playthrough into a soap opera
Rest in peace. May you beat people in fist fights in the great beyond.
Paarthurnax seems like the dora the explorer of the elder scrolls series. He constantly repeats in english what he previously said in dragon language, like he's trying to teach you that language one basic word at a time.
Dovah the Explorer!
ithepatrick yes exactly right. And it's flipping annoying. I hate his dialogue.
@@nachobidness6667 same with Fallout 4 when you meet the Chinese submarine captain
😆😆😆
Same voice actor as Mario Mario btw
"Without the wings of a dragon, you cannot get there."
Dude, I can summon one from the undead.
Jon said Benor 16 times in this part making The Official Benor Counter™ at 3128.
Good good good™.
Probably the final count, sadly.
That puts the average Benor count at just over 30 per episode.
Rest in piece. Benor...
Don't bother, the people playing that drinking game are long dead.
Does that include the Benors in Stellaris as well?
And so marks the end of the hero and his story as he turns to ash beside the villain who had sent him to his grave, broght him back from death to be used as a puppet before she realized her wrong doing and accepted her final mistake of the past before turining him to ash so that it may never be repeated again and move on to do good.
R.I.P Benor. Husband, adventurer, trusted companion and self proclaimed toughest in morthal. We will forever be missed, god rest your soul in soverguard. You are now free
Prince Birb You missed his next job - Alduin's new snack.
John "im at High Rothgar so the game will not distract me" gets distracted by Dragon Linguistics instead
Tommy Breitwieser He's still a bit rusty with staying on track, but he's working on it.
To be fair, I would love a video of Jon puzzling his way through the language of the Dovah...
Then every episode could be titled in Dovahzuul, and we'd all have a great time figuring out the meaning of each episode.
any good resources on this online? I feel like I totally need to learn Dovh it'd be like learning Klingon only way more fun
oof that ending... it hurts
You know that when Iona finally gets back home, she's going to sweep Benor off the dock, right?
Almost choked on some candy when I read this for like the third or fourth time. (I've seen this series a few times)
But imagining her arriving and say "Oh...a pile of ash..." and sweeps it into the water.

I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING
NO I'M NOT YOU ARE
What the hell, Jon. That ending actually made me a little misty.
That was quite sad actually. It had gotten to the point were I thought Benor had overstayed his welcome, but seeing that I kind of hate to see him go actually. It's funny how that works. Jon made Benor into a real fleshed out character that the game itself never could. So I'm glad he had a good send off, he deserved it. R.I.P Benor, gone but not forgotten.

The name he was referring to: Galmar Stone-Fist
I was laughing my ass off when that happened
Ohh god the end gave me some serious feels :'(
Jack Survivalwolf same here.
From would-be guard to a man who found the fast way down mountains. From husband to thrall.
Farewell Benor. May you rest in Sovngarde with the great heroes: waiting for your love to reunite with you in the afterlife.
Or she may become a vampire again. We don't know with Jon. But maybe, that's the reason they fell in love; the unpredictable and unique times that they had.
Only one problem with resting in Sovengard, and that is it's where Alduin is, eating all the souls. Alot like DovahJon in that reguard, eh
Jon is only going to Sovngarde because the gods of Skyrim are too scared to try sending her to hell.
now benor can finaly rest in pease...
So the main protagonist is dead?
I smell a spin-off...
The Adventures of Dre-Moira, and the weird Breton girl.
Maybe they are going to do a Chrono Trigger?
And Benor is finally is at peace.
Tears T_T
R.I.P Benor
Have a nice rest in Sovngarde
Prepare yourself for Jon to make a crack about not seeing him in Sovngarde when he's up there.
Ironically, he might get eaten by Alduin because of this.
You will for ever live in our hearts Benor

Benor quote of the day: UHHHHH
Sean O Beautiful
Poetry.
Oh Jon, little known fact Ulfric Stormcloak hates Elenwen mainly because she was in charge of... "Interrogating" him when he was captured durring the great war, just thought i'd let you know.
still. he's basically a pawn of the thalmor and in a way works for them.
yeah, its pretty easy to pit two forces against one another when you take an extremely strong willed and powerful man and intentionally align the Empire with the person he holds responsible for the most horrific experience he has ever had, and also force the Empire to betray him on multiple occasions.
I hate it when people say that Ulfric is a Thalmor spy just because they saw that one youtube video. All that was implied in game is that Ulfric's rebellion is useful to the Thalmor as it would weaken the Empire.
saw what youtube video? it's fucking fact anyway.
TGCommander actually, im the dossier says "status of the agent: dormant" proving that he is or was an agent of the thalmor
RIP benor
Jon was so excited over the Dragon linguistics. This is why i watch this channel, for those nerdy moments
His name shall forever be Party-Snax
Finally benor won't show up in this series again. He's off to sovngar-
Wait a second
Bennor gets murdered at the slum you decided was worth Trading Markarth for. You even execute him prior to negotiations so he doesn't have to hear the treachery of his Deathbed.
Then you execute him in Riften ontop of your Balcony!
I truly believe that the "accident" that befell you on your wedding night was a severe premonition of how seriously flawed the relationship was.
Bennor was better of with his Wife being Murdered outside the Tavern that he consumed the marriage prior to comital. BUT that will forever be an alternate universe.
*groaning noise*
Quiet, Benor. I'm trying to literally save the flipping universe, here.
man i felt that
I cried at the 60 second flashback :(
Goodbye Benor, you'll always be remembered as the actual protagonist of this series.
It's-a-me! Paarthurnax!
I'mm'a Alduin numba one.
Here we goooo!
Still can't believe it's the same VA
Benor: **
These are some of the best episodes, we’re you really lean into the role play and create very dramatic sequences. Kudos and please keep it up! Makes these adventures MORE than just gameplay!

Benor, the greatest of us all.
Goodbye Benor. May you explore a cave, dark, dangerous forever in the afterlife.
Aww, Benor's disapproving groans of angst and being just generally fed up (and absolutely nothing else) were my favourite part of the cutscenes.
"Dragons have returned!" - "Urgghhhhhhhhh....."
If you climb to the peak of the throat of the world, opposite Parthunax's world wall, there is a pickaxe that boosts smithing by 5. Also a bunch of good ores.
Did Jon just realize he had been pronouncing a character's name wrong?
For all their faults, Windhelm is very progressive in their understanding of rehabilitative justice and the penitentiary system
and their openness when it comes to LGBT and relationships in the workplace.
I think the problem Ulfric has is that winterhold borders on Ulfrics capital hold windhelm and that makes it very easy for the empire to launch an attack on windhelm winterhold may not be rich but strategy wise it's a great hold.
I think the Empire got the better deal because the Stormcloaks have no hope of actually holding Markarth as it is in the middle of Imperial territory. Meanwhile, Winterhold, as stated, is good place to hit Ulfric's supply lines from.
I would upvote you more if i could. Was getting mad at my screen because he didn't notice.
Markarth IS well fortified though, the walls are huge and the defences extensive, whereas Ulfric could send a boat over from Windhelm a catapault parked up by the shrine of Azura and probably raze Winterhold to the ground in 20 minutes flat.
Don't forget the forsworn rebels. Even without imperial attacks, the stormcloaks can't hold it. Ulfric should have asked for something else, but he wanted that symbolic victory damnit.
For gods sake Jon! I can’t believe you did this! How could you murder Benor in cold blood again? Twice! In *one* episode!
I love the thing that my favourite person on UA-cam uploads episodes that are always around 1 hour. Keep it up Jon! It's the best
should've given him a water burial, and thrown fire magic at him. a viking burial
I always look forward to these, thank you for keeping it going so long!
A beautiful end for Benor, tasteful fade to black, touching emotional flashbacks in his final moments.... im really happy with how you did this Jon. touched on the connection we had to him that we didn't even realise, but on the bright side, he wont die by your hand anymore and, AND 2 Moira's.
You... you made me have feelings there at the end jon. I think this series might be my favorite fanfic of all time. and i read a lot of fanfic.
Damn....I don't think I have ever wanted to shed a tear so badly as I have while watching you play this. Damn feels through the roof... ;-;
Hrongar is the Jarl's brother
Nicholas Ricardo nice;)
This needs more up votes.
I find it stupid that he says random words in the dragon language. Imagine you had a French friend every time they spoke to you was like 'Do you want to go to the marché, the market'
I don't mind him speaking a word or two of Dovah from time to time. But always translating it makes it completely unnecessary for him to be doing that. If he wasn't always translating the player would actually have to think a bit to know what he just said.
So 8 days for 15000 gold would equate to 163 gold per hour
Wait you did the math?
Did you expect no one on the Many A True NERD comments section to do the maths? There was a particular person who counted how many times the word "good" was said in multiple Fallout Series on this channel.
The math was quite simple its just 15000/(24*8)
I am lowkey crying over that ending
I got emotional and then laughed at myself. Bless this ridiculous, ridiculous playthrough.
This was so sad... Goodbye Benor, now and forever...
I had a Reekling as a secondary companion (they count as pet) and he jumped to the time portal and helped the heroes in the past.
I wish one of these RPG's would let you join a faction but _only_ if you prove yourself worthy and competent to their ideals.
As in, not just "Go find me a thing then we'll make you our leader"
I'm talking doing a few lessons, learning some history of the faction, being quizzed on it and having to get it right, doing the correct military salute etc etc
It'd be cool to feel like a *part* of these factions rather than just some random dude who found a few trinkets and has since been handed the crown jewels because why not.
This would in turn make it harder to be an everyman because you'd have to know each factions lore, if you start messing crap up they'll suspect you're not committed...or are committed elsewhere.
Which would make obligatory spy infiltrations much more exciting because it wouldn't just be "You 100% trust me remember, I killed like 4 wolves how could I possibly not have access to all your secrets"
It'd be nice to have to get indoctrinated in to factions in reasonable ways, would be easier to care about and understand them. For all the times I've played Skyrim I've never cared about either side there's just "The racist shortsighted ones" and "The not racist ones that are bossed around by elves but hoping to revolt some day"
You'd like morrowind in terms of guild quests. You basically are a nobody for quite some time in them.
BoW HitUrGSpot
I was going to say the same. So many factions to join, so much interplay between them all with some directly impacting on progress between them.
Never thought I'd cry over a Skyrim video, but that ending really got to me.
RIP Benor again again again again again again again and again
Now this is why I decided to support Jon on Patreon. He is the ONLY youtuber for me that can make a game so much more than it is and for that I thank you sir.
I like how the dragons talk its like someone of a different language repeats them selves in there language then in another lol, its like saying you baka then saying right after idiot XD
Rest well hero of Skyrim, you have earned Sovengarde.
Jon, Markarth may be rich but it's got some problems.
1. It's a long way from Stormcloak territory
2. It's full of rebellious murderhobos called the Forsworn.
3. The Silverblood family own the guards and all the money flowing through Markarth, and they favor the Empire if I remember correctly.
Ulfric probably only asked for Markarth because they betrayed him after he helped them drive out the reachmen, but it was a terrible ask since he can't possibly hold it.

That ending 😭😭😭😭😭😭,
Dayum Jon you are really good at narration
You started talking about this being your last time together, and having just played a necromancer I knew, AND STILL I was not prepared. That memory montage.
Such good editing at the end
Fun fact: Elder Scrolls games don't seem to track the actual year, so Jon could well have spent multiple years + 8 days in jug and you'd only be able to tell exactly how long from the stats screen ;)
My current character in Morrowind will probably experience the Oblivion Crisis before she gets round to finishing Morrowind's main quest, at the rate i'm timewasting :P
there is a mod I think for special edition that brings all the dead people u killed or was killed by someone or something to Sovngarde would be an epic reunion with Benor when u go there to fight Alduin
That would have been amazing. However that would've required Jon downloading and installing the mod before killing Benor.
I'm sure he has an autosave or manual save he could go back to
Jon Skyrim starts on the 17th of Last Seed(August), 4E 201 and its currently the middle of Sun's Height(July), 4E 202 so your in game time is almost exactly 11 months, not years

You know Jon I'm still not convinced his corpse was still there after you killed benor the first time, but the story you created between your character and benor was great fun to watch for I don't know 70 or so parts. Sad this series is winding down. Been here sense part 1 and loved every minute. Thank you sir, can't wait till the next episode.
teh ending is up there, with "Jurassic Bark". btw, watching this series for like the 3rd time in a row, so....thank you, Jon.
Two years late but Jon forgot Serana smh
Benor's farewell just slipping ahead of the Fallout 4 "turning off a radio" speech for best MATN moment.
a blade and a thalmor in the same room? Aren't they in hiding from them, and Esbern openly speaks of Dephine while a thalmor is listening? No wonder they are all dead.
Aww... Made me shed a tear at the end, watching Benor die forever.
That guard coming out of the bedroom had me dying 😂
"My leige, are you coming to- Oh. Oh. I'll just... Wait over here..." *Scuffles behind door*
Markarth for Winterhold wasn't that bad of a deal for the Imperials. It puts them at a good advantage. There are other ways to travel around Markarth, and now the Stormcloaks have to deal with the Forsworn problems (and the hagravens that come with them), but Winterhold puts the Imperials dead center of all the trade routes the Stormcloaks have to take, and gives them influence over the college to lead the students towards an Imperial world view. Essentially, they could surround Ulfric with their main army, branch out their less powerful forces from other holds to take back Markarth, as well as gain Riften, and still have men in reserve in case any plans go awry. If Winterhold gets invaded by the Stormcloaks, logically the college will defend it and buy enough time for reinforcements to arrive. Taking back Riften would mean having to deal with Maven (I really don't like her...) which will cost more gold than the Imperials are probably wanting to dish, and the Theif's Guild is there, but.... Yeah, not exactly a militia that may be willing to help. Tactically, this choice was a great decision, so it's understandable that Ulfric's bitter over it and Tullius is thrilled.
Not to mention the thieves guild, working for maven could EASILY sabotage Stormcloak supply lines.
Goodbye Bennor, and thanks for all the fish! That ending... Got something in my eyes...
Nothing Bethesda has made has caused me to feel a genuine emotion. But somehow a crazed necromancer who has gone through many different changes who finally said goodbye to her husband and turned him to ash for good measure, that made me bawl my eyes out, thanks Jon.
That was like the saddest video ever
The person sleeping in Jarl Balfruf’s bed is his brother. Which makes it more or less creepy depending on how you choose to see their relationship
I’m sad, but it’s the kind of sad I get when I think about my nana who passed on last year after a long full life. It has peace in it. Thank you Jon.
Paarthurnax feels so small. Now Grigori, Grigori felt like a huge dragon.
Oddie Yang I'd pay to see DovahJon take on King Gidorah.
I usually get over emotional when it comes to the companions. I'm very afraid they will die at some point so I usually don't travel with them. When I stumble upon a companion I always let them go as so fast I can. If it's a mission companion eg. Serana, after the mission is done I just walk with them to their home and make sure they are 100% safe.
It just breaks my heart when they say stuff like "oh, well then, you don't need me anymore, I'll be waiting for you, don't worry".
*now imagine what this ending did to my soft squishy heart*
You're actually undervaluing the importance of Winterhold in a strategic setting with Winterhold you would have an opportunity to take Windhelm
tropical Qcumber they could just as easily attack from solitude. It's like a three hour walk.
I wanted to see Jon escape jail
