- I've played a lot of the Elder Scrolls games in my day but there is one game I have never played and always wanted to, and that game is... Elder Scrolls Redguard! Turns out it's not very good.

I love how the protagonist has the same voice of all the redguards in Morrowind and Oblivion.
NotSoSeriousNick Yeah, down with the series since the beginnings
He's in ESO too
He sounds like the Avatar in Ultima IX too.
Back in my day piracy was honest work
I'm pretty sure he also voices some Khajitt males as well
But to be fair, they brought back many of the same voice actors for all the races.
Tune in next week for "Five Things Redguard did better than Skyrim"
1. Rope climbing
2. Characters react when you do stupid shit like get on tables.
3. You don't start as a generic prisoner only to find out that you're the chosen one.
4. Diversity and representation. Lots'a arabs and the white colonial govenor is the untimate bad guy.
5. Desity of content. WHile the world is much smaller, only one city it is full of content. Meanwhile most of Skyrim is sad an empty and not once "city" is as big as the one in Redguard.
Viorp How many Not-Arabs do you want in Not-Scandinavia?
All of them, like in real-life Skyrim needs some CUltural Enrichment.
It's only diversity when it happens to the sons of the Atmorans, it seems.
Lack of white people = diversity? ABSOLUTELY WHAT THAT MEANS HELL YEAH and they made the one white dude the bad guy OH FUCK YEAH diversity out the fucking WaZoO
Cyrus and his sister -> king and queen
What.
Hammerfell, the Mississippi of Tamriel
my first thought too^^
Her husband was killed by Cyrus so now he has to fill her void if you know what I mean ;)
To Oblivion with all of you
Classic royalty.
"We're thieves and we're bad guys!"
Well at least they're honest
It's cool to hear Cyrus' voice actor and realize that it's the voice of all male Redguards for Morrowind and Oblivion.
I LOVE this voice actor
The first guy he talks to plays male orcs in oblivion as well
Wait... Cyru's and his sister
Become
The King and Queen
Cyrus
And his sister
Todd Howard made a game with no RPG elements? No way.
It almost foreshadows fallout 4
Well he is the guy that rips off TES games from RPG elements. Its basic knowledge man. There are
interviews with other bethesda employees that Todd was always kind of guy that prefered more action style games than rpg rolls. Play Daggerfall / Morrowind and see how complex they are, and then you have Oblivion / Skyrim where 60% of spells and many mechanics were abandomed. Your comment doesnt make sense and just shows your lack of knowledge about Bethesda/Todd.
@@grpusty6410 he was being sarcastic
It just works
Gr Pusty whoooooooosh
This is a game I hoped would be remade, legit remade. Not remastered.
Yeah, a larger Stros M'Kai, maybe even some additional content revolving around Cyrus' adventures, as seen in the Redguard comic, would be fun.
or a proper sequel. Two more entries in Elder Scrolls Adventures were planned but they were scrapped.
Skipper dont worry it will get a MASSSSIIIIVEEEEE remaster. And it will get a new title too... THE ELDER SCROLLS VI
It kinda was. I mean... play ESO. Stros M'kai is in there, go to Hew's Bane for some swashbuckling adventure. There's even a costume that looks like the outfit of Cyrus.
@maineking94 I should report you, you hooligan!
I think this game just needs a Remake
A remake of this game would be pretty good honestly.
Definitely! The story is there, just update the mechanics and fix the bugs and this would honestly be a sick adventure game
Vincent Smith Absolutely. Story seems pretty cool and plays out like a trippy 80s fantasy movie akin to Legend, the first Conan, or The Dark Crystal. Plus the gameplay seems eerily similar to Uncharted overall. It could totally work, and I'd love to see more stories told in the Elder Scrolls if they can keep the more hardcore RPG type games sprinkled in with the more action oriented, story heavy ones. I think Skyrim tried too hard to balance the appeal for both types of audiences/genres which resulted in a game which, 7 years later, has not aged as gracefully as it's predecessors (in my opinion).
The Cantina mods?
sorar4 dlc for what?
Wow this game has more features than Skyrim ! Rope climbing ? Ledge hanging ? Fencing ? Bird transformation ?
I want that shit in the next Elder Scrolls.
mods
Muhajir Creation Club
Me too
Muhajir The MODS don't have any animations and I want them.
Lmao so false but i agree
I’d like it if Bethesda tried this again... but just... not... so shit.
Same here, man.
Dapple Dog nah we need settlements in TESVI, card game within card game, and ESO.
Seriously Bethesda you need to branch out more. OR just give a better combat system beside spamming Mouse 1 and Mouse 2.
3:52 wait, DELIVER THE AMULET?!!? Holy crap this is oblivion before oblivion was made
We were once *oblivious* to this; now we know better.
Yes
but he ain't no Jauffre
this is oblivion in the 2nd era
It's Todd
Elder Scrolls is a series that spans countless years and has a rich back story.

Elder scrolls online isnt canon
Wow. I only played Skyrim and barely knew most of this stuff. Interesting lore, although Skyrim isn't a good RPG because of the downgraded for perks and it's fetchquests are just boring and repetitive.
@@alexmanuel7391 Not only is It canon, it's the best game in regards to lore since morrowind.
@@lucasbrant9856 nope TESO has never been canon and never will be
@@alexmanuel7391 You can think that if you like but according to Bethesda it is, just like every other ES game (including legends and blades). Don't be surprised if there are books referencing ESO events in future games.
Cyrus and his sister are the King and Queen together?
The implications are... unpleasant.
He didn't marry his sister, Cyrus went off to travel Tamriel while Iszara stayed behind in Hammerfell. Neither are the rulers.
I know, I'm making a joke.
Just clarifying. The uploader also said they are the king and queen, not sure where he got that from.
I think you meant to say pleasant :^)
Sweet Home Stros M'kai
A game by Todd the man who created
Fallout 76
TheElgreko 🤣☹️
How the mighty have fallen.
@@jacket6213 Fallout 3 was already a nightmare long before fallout 76
@@bluedove9696 fallout 3 is a good game
i honestly think that todd is just a puppet of zenimax at this point, saying things that they want him to say, blatantly lying even after the history of jokes made at his expense because of it.
maybe. i dont know. he just seems like the type of guy to focus on what matters to him (TES 6) and do whatever it takes for it to be a reality (doing what zenimax wants, even if it means lying).
I kinda want Bethesda to have some side group make more elder scrolls spin off games
I definitely agree with you on that. It would be interesting to see another game like this one but done with modern mechanics that aren't terrible.
Well as long as they dont feel the need to make a survival or battle royal game .
Jin kisaragi I agree but if they did it could potentially be good. *Potentially*
Wait until they make a racing game with Nazeem as the main character
I would buy tho
I would totally play an action game concerning the fall of the Imperial colonies in Akavir.
Man this game looks a lot like the unfinished Rareware "Project Dream", elements of which were used in Banjo Kazooie.
WHO GOES THERE?
Have you heard of the high elves?
Lafave bros, more like
My favorite bros
Clavicus vile sounded like Him, from the power puff girls! Lol
when you say that, he does
He sounded like Carnage from the old Spiderman cartoon from the 90s
In the episode Him Diddle Riddle, Him asks the girls a really similar riddle as the one Clavicus VIle asked
xXApplestoApplesXx is that the one where Him bets Professor Utonium breakfast on whether or not Him can outsmart the girls?
Is it just me or was he called herm sometimes
It's pretty cool to see the Sload though
Joe baggins there was one I think in Morrowind don't quote me on that but I'm pretty sure in the Game of the Year Edition the full expansion there was one
linguistically oversight 86 Nope there was none. Only in the Elder Scrolls Online and this game they do appear
there is a mod for a sload in morrowind and i havent seen any sloads in eso
time coldslow Summerset added them
@@linguisticallyoversight8685 you are thinking of a dwemer. There is one in Morrowind yes.

Are you planning to be a professional commenter
yung malaria the Targaryens and Lannisters approve
Just made a comment about this i havent seen, this phrase is said by the character Peter in 1978's Dawn of the Dead
"We actually went to the land of the dead!"
There's a reason every Necromancer has a copy of N'Gasta! Kvata! Kvakis!
That was quite a cool story actually
The story is actually pretty cool, I will admit.
CHAA

MEE
LALOO
You see those soldiers from hammerfell? They got curved swords, curved swords
N'Gasta! Kvata! Kvakis!
time to play other spin-offs. Travels and Battlespire XD
don't you have to find your missing sister in two worlds as well?
Ya you do. I almost mentioned how similar the premise is for the two games but I ended up cutting it out.
We don't mention that
Best brother in Nirn history
Benboy955 two worlds is very good game
Don't talk about that game... *shivers*
for a 1998 game, the voice acting is spot on.
The lore seems awesome- isn't this the first time Kirkbride was involved in the writing? All this game needs is a modern source port, and then it would be just awesome.
Change mee laloo!
This means nothing to Joto.
Tod should just remaster it instead of remastering Skyrim for the 100th time
Except this game is really bad
It's probably older than you
@@derekyohan1444 Ok and? Morrowind and Id's 3D Doom are older that me yet I still play them. a Remake or remaster would do a lot of good for them. We are tired of seeing Skyrim being resold on different next gen consoles. It'd be better to relive the past games to catch up on lore and other things.
Have you played oblivion on a flip phone
Haha I have now and by god it was bad.
They need to remake this game. After all, Cyrus(hoonding) is considered one of the most powerful mortals. Also i think we need more es adventure games that fill the spaces between games, such as one on the great war where you play as a blade or something.
More adventure games would be awesome quite frankly.
Or a shadowscale. Give us Eye of Argonia already, Bethesda!
The fact that Todd Howard was at the head of a project that removed all rpg elements says a lot
He was also project leader on Morrowind though
@@Ploulaf there was a massive paring down of content from daggerfall to mw, but not to the extent of subsequent titles
@@D_R757 yeah fair point
This voice acting is on Point 👌
I wish they still used this voice actor for some of the redguards in skyrim. His voice brings back so many memories and it sounds so cool. Each race needed a bit more voice actors
Coincidentally, Cyrus is the name of my first and only Skyrim character. And i named him that without even knowing this game existed. Huh.
Coincidentally, Cyrus is also the name of Blade who welcomes you to Cloud Ruler Temple in Oblivion.
This actually seems like an entertaining play through lol
YUPEE NUB NUB
"I...don't know what you're saying."
@@kazmakazii r/beatmetoit
I've always found it fascinating how some of the voice actors were with the series for so long
The Elder Scrolls series literally has all of what my fantasy-obsessed self needs. Literally from just this video I actually got invested in the Redguard's story.
i like big butts and i cannot lie, and my friend over here likes big butts and cannot tell the truth, which door do you chose
HAHAHAHA
Racist
down up up right left down down
wholesome keanu chungus moment
When I began playing elder scrolls I chose to be a red guard and named him Cyrus. I like to pretend my characters in each game are reincarnated versions of each other. So imagine my absolute surprise when I found out that there is literally an elder scrolls game, with the same race and name that I always play as
When you think about it, Redguards have been playable in more TES games than any other. With the exception of the Oblivion mobile game, every Elder Scrolls game has you either play as a Redguard (like this one) or at least gives you the option.
This game has the series only Sload in it!
I find it a little funny.... Redguard is the only game where you meet a Sload, Morrowind, the only game where you meet a Dwemer.
@@KitsuneYojimbo Oh yeah... also techincally you can meet some Sload in elder scrolls online too, but only a subspecies of them.
@@tarponpet No kidding? I ought to play more of the MMO. Put the game down a while ago because I couldn't find anyone to play the game with.
@@KitsuneYojimbo It has a LOT to do by yourself atleast, especially since I had got a bundle with the expansions, the Sea Sloads are in the summerset expansion.
@@tarponpet Fair. I think it just comes down to me not really liking MMOs. That and I barely tried to learn the mechanics of the game. Maybe I should go back and give the game another fair shake.
Hey The Cantina Ive binge watched all your oblivion videos and I love them keep up the good work!
My realm may be pleasant to look at, but don't ever mistake pleasant for "safe", it is just as dangerous to unsuspecting mortals as any realm in Oblivion.
Just wanted to say that your control mapping is absolutely divine
Haha I was wondering if anyone would spot that.
As that bit flew by I just saw forward mapped to S and thought "hang on a second..."
Loving the content by the way, I don't think I've seen anyone else cover Redguard (probably for the best)
*Threatened by a knife under his throat* "Do it then, because that'll be the easiest part"
I think it says a lot about the game.
Cyrus huh. Like that blade guy in Oblivion?
No like that douche the pirate bitch is singing about.
Well Cyrus is a hero so it is probably common to see redgaured that
I find it curious how you specifically leave Todd out of Morrowind leads, despite test room literally called ToddTest as a tribute to him personally.
Thank you Mr. Howard, very cool.
Ahh Todd Howard, you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
TES 6 will be set in hammerfell so that todd can get his redemption
Red Guard Redemption
Ernesto B the seer has spoken
According to a leak it's supposed be set in Hammerfell and High Rock.
@@tank3143 Would be interesting to see the two provinces with modern graphics. It could be like daggerfall 2 XD. Though I kinda wish they would focus more on one province so that we can get as much detail on that one as possible. But with newer technology now I hope they could pull it off.
I only saw your channel by mistake and I'm glad it happened
Some of the character voices sound surprisingly more energetic than the later games. I also enjoy the cinematics.
I loved Redguard. I saw someone else played it and it was great.
Most disappointing Bethesda game???... No man... most disappointing Bethesda game is FALLOUT 76... Redguard has higher Metacritic by far (7.8)
(sorry for late reply)
This video was released months before Fallout 76 was.
Honestly for me fallout 4 was the most disappointing. 76 at least let me play with my friends wears 4 was just a colossal joke on the series.
Oof, been watching a playthrough of it on and off tor over a year and the dialogue/acting is all that keeps me invested and even that is held back by the audio quality
Now, what about Battlespire?)
Haha that is the question isn't it.
The Cantina, for sure. That would be great to see you play this game. Who knows, maybe it's even worse than Redguard :DDD
i agree with Vee R plz do a video of u doing battlespire
"You talk too much cat"
Joto "aueheghh"
That reminds me a bit of khajiit personalities of sorenova lol
I like the idea of side games where you are a pre set character on an adventure it would be cool to be an argonian in black marsh
Battlespire? Did you play Battlespire?
I have not played battlespire yet.
It was MUCH worse. MUCH WORSE.
Got a 486? I'll mail it to you
Oh, now I hope you play Battlespire next
that shot of N’Gasta walking toward you for like 10 seconds fucking broke me
imagine if this game came out today- it would be amazing
Honestly they should remake this.
It could be like uncharted or the new tomb raider
I just watched your newest video and enjoyed it so much I came back to watch this one again . Thank you so much for making these videos
I laughed so hard watching this!! Too bad it's so wonky, the story and characters seem really great.
Delightful surprise that it’s Michael Mack that does Cyrus’ voice. Cool that he continued with them and Did the redguards Voices in Oblivion
Wait so Cyrus can understand what the dragon’s saying? That means he’s either Dragonborn, or that Todd Howard retconned the Dragon lore.
Or the dragon just learned Cyrodilic, seeing as he serves the Cyrodilic Empire.
i want them to remaster this for es6 ngl..
Cyrus for smash 5
I wish they made more pirate themed Elder Scrolls Game. Imagine the plots, monsters and gameplay elements they can create with such a concept...
"Come and look upon the Heart, the Akhulkhan... And bring some rum, matey."
releases skyrim 50 times wheres the redguard special edition
Wooow that dragon fight looks almost exactly like the dragon fight in Skyrim or whatever and the scorch beast fight in FO76 or whatever. Imagine my shock
I had a feeling Redguards were originally supposed to be based off of Arabic/Indian clothes and weapons.
They always seem to hesitate about the redguards. Are they arabics ? Moorish ? West-African ? Caribbean ? Some weird fantasy-Madagascar mix ? It change with every game.
9:42 “You are- You are crafty, but you are no match!” that’s the funniest hurt sound since Knuckles’ “Oh no!”
have you played the Nokia N-Gage series of Elder scrolls games? cuz those are hard to come by
I have not unfortunately, I always found it weird though that they made mobile tes games just for that phone. Especially since they haven't made any since even though mobile are actually a thing now.
well they tried making a mobile adaptation of Oblivion for all phones but it didn't work out apparently because they cancelled development halfway through
I thought that was just meant for PSP? It eas called something like The Elder Scrolls Travels or something?
yeah Elder Scrolls Travels was a series for Nokia N-Gage Elder Scrolls Travels: Oblivion was there attempt to keep the series going after the fall of the N-Gage
Ah right I see! I remember being super bummed cos I was really looking forward to playing something like Oblivion on the fly. Thanks for the info!
WELL WELL!!! I'M SO GLAD YOU COULD COME????
the voice acting in this game is gold
They should re make this game! Stros M’kai always interested me, I’d love to play a new version of this game!
Fun fact about Cyrus, apparently there was a time he met with Vivec and engaged in a duel with him. Cyrus technically came out the victor when he (maybe?) bluffed about knowing the Pankratosword, a sword technique so powerful that it can destroy entire landmasses and ostensibly caused the destruction of Yokuda. Either playing along with the bluff or not willing to risk it, Vivec backed down.
Hope the next main Elder Scrolls games it takes place in Hammerfell.
Redguard was actually the first 3D game I ever owned. I of course had played other 3D games beforehand, but growing up poor, my family had no consoles or PC for the most part, so I only played at friends houses at first. Eventually, I was able to gather enough decent used parts to build a PC that could run some games (with the help of a family friend on how to put it together properly), and this game was the first thing I installed on it (after Windows of course).
Dude this game is old, but I love it.
I’d love a version of this that’s like, functional
9:23 it didn't work. lol
I love the "You like that don't ya? Cuttin it up!" As he keeps stabbing him in the back 😂
Keep in mind that this game is twenty years old - it came out two years before Baldur's Gate 2! At that time, providing a 3D Open World Adventure with Story, Quests and Dungeons was something different back then. Many of the clumsy gameplay and the camera angles was quite common back in the day for these games, Gothic I is one of the best RPGs ever released and had an even worse fighting system. Generally, I don't find the fighting system in Redguard so bad, it really imitates epee fencing (saying that as someone who fences himself). Slow fights, waiting for a gap - this is actually more realistic than many modern games. It was clearly designed for humans vs humans, that's why the fights against the creatures are a bit sloppy sometimes because it isn't the main focus of the game.
"How am I supposed to know?" - come on dude, this is an old game that actually demanded something from the player. I played this as a kid and it took me days to figure out to solve the next riddle, this was from a time where you don't have a questmarker pointing you at the next direction, where you don't have an extensive journal and where the game doesn't hold your hand. I can't believe you complained about the N'Gasta quest - that was amazing! Imagine you are being tasked with your generic fetch and bring quest to go to some wizard, and you actually have to pay a skeleton ferryman who brings you to the isle of the dead to talk to a necromancer worm! Pretty cool that the quest giver also tells you that you have nothing to worry about, probably knowing very well he's sending you into death as he has probably done with your predecessors. That was a really nice touch.
I quite liked the story. Sure, it's a bit cliche, but the cutscenes are great, and the dialog in those is as well. The music is cool. When I was a kid, that resurrection of the prince where the soul goes into the sword gave me goosebumps. The whole game has a very atmospheric vibe to it, which was only topped by Morrowind later, which went into a similar very atmospheric direction. Redguard deserves to have a remake.
Also, I don't know if you know this, but the originally packaging came with a Tamriel travel guide, including a graphic novel about Cyrus' past. Many of the articles in this guide literally describe stuff that you can actually see in Sykrim 15 years later, but for some weird reason Howard decided to scrap exotic jungle Cyrodiil and made it a generic middle ages world, because he wanted to ride the LotR hype train.
It's definitely not the worst Elder Scrolls game - that title goes to Oblivion.
Thanks buddy, really nice of you
XasthurWithin with how fast technology is advancing someone like me who's 26. Is already feeling old when people born in in late 90s or early 2000s scoff at these games
Not reliezing open world RPG and action adventure was a new genre that pushed the technology for the time. These games were magical in the 90s
Why is oblivion the worst?
fun fact, the necromancer (N'gasta) featured in this game is the first time the sload were seen in game, their only other appearence has been in the summerset isle in ESO
I was actually playing Legends while listening to this and when you said "pretend pieces of cardboard", I thought you were referring to Arena or Daggerfall and their dated graphics
The "dreadful realm" of Clavicus "Vile"!
Oh, not what i expected.
Two epic dude, that joke made my day.
“...and this game was created by Todd Howard HIMSELF”
Omgggg the GOD HIMSELF....🤣😂🤮
The Elder Scrolls Renewal should take this on in Skyrim's Engine. It would be amazing.
"Made by Toddler Howard"
"Has to be good"
please
Cyrus was killing a Dragon before the Dovahkiin... makes you wonder how he was held with no contact from Paarthurnax being that Alduin has been snoozing.
6:00 why do i expect that NPC to start giving a speech about how the original Israelites were black
now i know why we never heard of this game before
I uses to be an Elder Scrolls fan. Just like you
Then I took a Redguard to the knee
Am I the only one that noticed that the sound effects at 6:45 are the exact same sound effects you hear in Second Life when you teleport to a new location?
Atleast it has the same voice actors from Oblivion.
Is that really a good thing though?
The river Styx? Is that a Styx shards of darkness reference?
"Made by Todd Howard himself so it has to be good"
Hahahahahahaha
that last platforming ending you has enough sands power to use revival/rewind at least 3 times; you're not dead.
It reminds me of tomb raider a little lol
I came here expecting to laugh but I found this to be amazing and seriously ahead of its time.
