god I love the cinematic quality of your videos. Literally every time I watch I forget ESO exists and fall back in love with the Elder Scrolls. Thank you for your hard work!
The very first time I encountered Anise's cabin I thought 'oh this poor old lady out here by herself, I'm gonna go in and leave her some food' and proceeded to try to do that 😂😂😂😂
Oooh hold up. Imagine if there was a mechanic in Skyrim where if you wanted an essential NPC to be killed, you had to perform the Black Sacrament. Like, gather the ingredients, chant the incantation and a DB assassin would answer your call. Then bam - the essential NPC you can’t stand is dealt with.
I absolutely love these deep dives! They really highlight Skyrim's storytelling strengths when it can be easy to focus on its considerable weaknesses. I bet you could do a whole video just on Skyrim's sketchy stewards, as it seems like people like Anuriel, Raerek, Malur Seloth, and Falk all have some juicy secrets they keep even from the Jarls they serve.
I think I found your channel through the Skyrim Bandits video (loved it!) so a continuation of delving into interesting NPCs is welcome! I am a newer Skyrim player still getting into all the lore, so it's great to have people still making videos about it. I don't mind the visual mods, for what it's worth, especially the ones that enhance the landscape and lighting. Makes your awesome narration feel more epic and cinematic 🙂
Ahh, been hoping to see another installment in this terrific series that examines this great game, Skyrim! The bandits are definitely interesting but delving into the sometimes bizarre subject that is Skyrim npcs, I think we will be in for a treat! (Sweet rolls of course)
I would like to make a little note that makes the letter a bit creepy. Witches have been known to teach children they find worthy of their practice, sometimes kidnapping babies to raise as their students. So i wouldn't be surprised if the letter did mean the ghost child, waiting for a student that will never show up
By the way the house that burnt down might be unrelated and due to venaraus vulpin as in his journal he states he killed a hermit called jokull in ivarstead while looking for the bloodspring but he dropped his torch on a pelt and burnt the house down so thats not narfis house tbh
Welcome back, King. Your videos are nothing short of amazing. I hope you know how valued and appreciated you are in this community. Thank you for the top-notch content.
Edit: thanks for expanding on Wilhelm more. It's cool hearing his dialogue with the locals all together. I had heard bits and pieces of these dialogues in brief but usually when I was just passing through, and focused on whatever job i was in the area for. As such, getting this all together, combined with the characterisation we see in the bandit video, Wil is just so mysterious...😮 Great mod list
Of all dark stuff happening in Skyrim, the Namira quest is the only one that really bugged me. Especially considering Lisbets off-hand comments. About interesting quests. Morrowing this time: Some weeks ago I played one of the quests surrounding the Dwemer artifacts smuggling ring. It's really interesting how various parts of this unfolds in different quests throughout the game and you can't even complete them all in one playthrough.
There’s too much that points to the conspiracy in Rorikstead being true imo, it’s TES, they don’t just be doing things for no reason lol The dialogue that hints at the player character’s suspicion, the Daedric books everywhere, no women, etc. There’s too much for it to just be nothing. Rorik said he started the town, right? Well, in the book at Dragonsreach that accounts for all of Whiterun hold’s properties there is a very suspicious entry. “Rorik’s Steading” it says. It says it was founded a long time ago, I don’t remember exactly when but recall the timeline not adding up. Also, Ragnar the red mentions Rorikstead & that song is definitely wayyy older than Rorik. And last thing, if you clip under one of the houses there you’ll see a Daedric book & a weird cave system. I suspect from a cut quest or something. Maybe a quest that would’ve been kinda like the Hackdirt quest in Oblivion. Maybe the deep ones were gonna make a comeback? lol
I didn't know about the underground cave and daedric book, that's really strange and makes theory more believable. Looks like they really planned another Hackdirt in Skyrim but changed mind. That's unfortunate lol.
there is no cave system, there is ONE book about daedra and ONE EMPTY lesser soul gem. I love camelworks but that video gave people brain damage. It's a town settled by veterans of the great war. Theyre blessed by kyne; godess of war and nature.
Best Skyrim channel fr Edit: Hmm this guy seems like he's involved in the community acting like everyone's brother or dad protecting the villagers and guiding them in pursuing their dreams. What? He bought some illegal mead? That murderous creepy f*ck am I right?
Let's go. I'll always have Skyrim as my number 1 in the series due to how it's the first game I'll think about playing after a long week or stupidity at work, that and some Halo 3/Reach multiplayer. Skyrim > Morrowind > Oblivion
I think wilhelm knew that windelius was after the treasure and decided not to give him the claw because, why would he? Why would he help this foreigner to plunder skyrims ancient tombs? He tried to warn windelius off and as far as he knows, windelius died in the barrow. We did something to help him and Ivarstead. He gave us the sapphire claw because of that.
i dont know the lore deeply enough to give this any credit, or know if this theory was already posed, but i wonder if ‘helgi’ is an endearing nickname for a ‘helga’ somewhere in skyrim.
I love that you posted this when you did because I just found Anise’s Cabin for the first time, mistaking it for the one woman who gives you archery training somewhere in the wilderness of Falkreath (pls someone help me remember her name) and I ransacked her cellar, got attacked by her and killed her, got the hired thug event regarding stealing from her, and you know who sent them, rather than Moira the Hagraven? Anise herself, despite being murdered by me immediately after stealing from her. I thought it was strange but if that even can still happen while having the thugs be hired by someone else makes more sense. Must have been a bug
It's Angi's Camp, sounds similar :) But yeah, that whole hired thugs thing is often glitchy, but it makes each playthrough more exciting, you never know what to expect lol.
Calixto is fascinating, because he's one of only a couple of extremely powerful necromancers in Skyrim. They all operate alone, are hostile on sight and their brand of magic is very deep, very ancient and honestly super interesting. Here's a list of those I'd consider to be part of this "group": - Calixto Corrium, for his advances in flesh magic and his attempt at studying true necromancy, i.e. the summoning of the departed, instead of a daedra to inhabit a fallen foe. - Lu'ah Al-Skaven, who is trying the same thing, but from a different direction - you find her in Ansilvunde, having successfully summoned the _original souls_ of two draugr. - Sild the Warlock, who we find in Rannveig's Fast, experimenting with binding souls to the living world. Notably, he doesn't use a soul gem - instead, he seems to be able to enthrall these souls in the form of ghosts, even after they have died. - Arondil, who is located in Yngvild. He seems to be studying the nature of using illusion magic on ghosts, and succeeding (until we kill him of course). His approach differs from Sild, however, because the ghosts are enslaved via an artifact in his throne room, which causes the spell to break when removed. - Malkoran, who is currently corrupting Meridia's temple. Fascinatingly, he seems to have found a way to draw power from a daedric artifact and turn it to ends entirely opposed to that artifact's magic. He is also the only mortal in Skyrim to have figured out a way to survive his own death, because he returns as a powerful shade when we kill him. - Vals Veran, who is in Hillground's Tomb, and has enslaved the entire tomb's draugr population to his will. This is notable because the draugr are originally bound to the will of a dragon priest, meaning he has figured out a way to subvert this spell and substitute it with his own.
@JRexRegis Great stuff! I covered some of them in recent "Strange Bandits" videos and was most impressed by Lu'ah, suggesting that she could easily have her own dlc. I plan covering Malkoran in a future episode!
On the road from Helgen to Ivarstead, just east of the cave with the statue of clavicus vile sits a little cabin, which I believe either has a letter from Helgi or from Anise's sister
@@boreanknight wait, it isnt the Necromancer with the one Blind eye and the name "the undead" ? Damn im a bad detective But how can we even choose in taht quest ?i always thought it was just the Necromancer and didnt even find options to accuse someone else can u tell me what i have missed ?
@@ACowIsHuge Have you picked up "strange amulet" in Hjerim? It's kinda hidden near the Butcher's journal. Wizard will identify it and tell you what to do next.
Yeah you’ve got a talent for how to shoot this game. The one gripe I could have is that I’m kind of an advanced modder and after all these years and all the videos that exist, unmodded footage can be a bit blegh, but you do it really well.
I get so distracted by these visual mods that turn all these old women into hot babes, and change the hair colors of certain characters. It feels very non canon
i really really enjoy your videos, and man that lisbet was a cannibal always felt like a betrayal to me, like you said nothing about her felt that way at all 🥲 But also id like to add it does feel really weird when you call women females, i know you probably dont mean anything by it but it sounds very objectifying unless youre talking about female and male animals. men and women is fine!
@Softlywool Honestly I wasn't aware of that, maybe because I'm not a native English speaker. I remember using the word "female" only when talking about Lemkil's daughters, in the context of them being only remaining citizens of female gender. I thought about calling them "women" yet they're obviously not adults. And calling them girls, would imply limitation on children only. Just before that, I mentioned a High elf farmer as the "only woman" in village. So really the term "female" in that particular sentence was due to context. I hope that makes sense?
god I love the cinematic quality of your videos. Literally every time I watch I forget ESO exists and fall back in love with the Elder Scrolls. Thank you for your hard work!
Thanks! I hope all is well brother!
yup - i was legit just about to comment "always QUALITY, borean"

That's funny :) Interesting NPCs adds a Bosmer who works for Lisbet and shares same... taste.

I'm always helping the priest of Arkeу destroy the cult of Namirа.
Another video? Yes! An Hour long? YES!
For years ive loved watching videos about elder scrolls lore. Its nice to see more and more great channels!!
Bit off topic but I think this video made me realise I really don't like any visual overhaul mods
Thought I was the only one. I use mods to enhance volumetric fog and add trees but that’s abt it. Skyrim has a nice look without enbs
You know it's gonna be a good night when UA-cam notifies you of a new BoreanKnight video.
Thank you so much!

Excellent video! Great work. Visuals alone must have taken forever. I can’t even imagine how many hours of downloading stuff from Nexus it took, lol.
A lot lol. This modlist took 2 full days of downloading because I don't have premium nexus.

Excellent video as always my friend and I am super pumped to see what you do next! Keep up the good work 👍

Its good to hear from you good to see your doing good.
Thanks!
Absolutely love your skyrim vids.
I think your accent adds immersion to these videos. You sound like a genuine Nord!!!❤❤❤
Woah is that the legendary Mr. Dragonfly in the cell next to Sibbi?
25:58 nice shot
26:13 "hey Inigo I'm working, stop speaking for a bit."
Let's not forget that it was, in fact, Sheogorath who invented music by making flutes out of human bones.

Good point, totally forgot about that!

You forgot to mention that Sissel is having dreams of our pal Parthy.
I have just been thinking about your channel an hour ago and wondered when another upload would come!

Anise attacks you if you read that note! I never knew since she dies upon greeting me
I never thought that "that boy of yours" could also refer to a son instead of a young boyfriend/husband
For those of us who don't use body or hair changing mods how are we supposed to recognize some of the NPCs in this video?
I think wilhelm knew that windelius was after the treasure and decided not to give him the claw because, why would he? Why would he help this foreigner to plunder skyrims ancient tombs?

Seeing this notification has saved me.
Thank you so much
Not feeling great myself so i hope I'm empathizing and i really hope you feel better after this!
It's awesome how much of a connection you can form just from watching someone's video
I'm in a very similar situation. Didn't sleep for 36 hours.
This video is a godsend to get me to relax
Hope all's well! We all need some escape time when life gets too difficult. Stay strong!
@@boreanknight Thank you, kind sir.
Too much mods! And I immediately say this is not Skyrim XD
Good job !!!
Bro I swear I have seen Anise sleeping?....... In her bed after I killed her and lay her back there to ensure she never moves again
Draga, probudi se, izašao novi Skyrim video
A blessing from the lord
cool video as usual! the cinematic estetic you create is awesome. what mods are you using for that end?
