@Jean LeMont its fairly obvious nate is an employee. Lol. So I agree. These other ppl asking for proof makes me laugh. Do they need proof there are thousands upon thousands of stars in the sky visable? No? Lol. But they need proof for other things just as obvious...😂😂
Yes exactly, a little slip by Nate. There’s even a note in the ruins which tells a tale about ordering to bury the child’s and harness the plants which grow (as the plant which grows can be used to make poison ☠️) Details Nate! Details are important :)
Yeah they committed mass suicide during a siege in the Dragon War. They knew that the nord rebels would likely torture any prisoners that were taken so they all drank poison.
So I have a couple: 1). There is an alternate start to “The Break of Dawn” involving going to Mount Kilkreath before finding the beacon 2). When you’re learning Wuld from the Graybeards, you can use the Slow Time shout to get through the gate instead
Gunslinger So, the break of dawn becomes available to the player at level 20. Typically, the first chest you open will contain the beacon, which upon collecting starts the quest. However, if you don’t collect the beacon first but instead go to the temple of meredia she will engage the player and start The Break of Dawn by commanding you go find her beacon.
Just an idea Nate the Thalmor are so snobbish I assume that the raw beef alludes to a dish called Beef Tartare, which is thinly sliced seasoned raw beef. Human never even crossed my mind.
@@navajo126 Beef Tartare is ground per Wikipedia as reference. I ordered a dish at one restaurant called "Beef Tartare" but it was sliced not ground so wasn't true Beef Tartare.
@@happy_fecker yeah, but I'm a chef, and I wouldn't recommend eating beef tartare thats just ground beef, too much of a risk of contamination. Using filet and dicing very finely with a knife then folding in a vinaigrette topped with egg yolk is the traditional method.
Some small details I've noticed in recent playthroughs that I THINK Nate hasn't talked about (I honestly can't be sure, there's so many videos that I may have missed a couple lol): 1. Members of the Companions (+ Tilma and Eorlund) will not react violently to a transformed lycanthrope dragonborn, and even better: they'll use the dialogue they'd use if the player is naked, leading to funny exchanges like Ria commenting that she doesn't see THAT every day or Vilkas yelling at you to put some clothes on. Side note: They'll also defend you from the rest of Whiterun if you transform in town, even during your first transformation if they happen to be in the vicinity. During mine, Eorlund straight up killed Belethor in the streets because he happened to be around to see him try to slash at me in wolf form lol. 2. In the main questline, if you've received the mission from Faranger to get the dragonstone and after you've retrieved it, stopping at Riverwood's inn will reveal that Delphine isn't there. If you talk to him, Orgnar will point this out and if you ask him how to rent a room, he says you can't but that you're free to sleep on the floor if you want. You won't be able to get a room there until you return to Dragonsreach with the dragonstone and conclude the quest. 3. During the "Proving Honor" quest in the Companions questline, you can actually leave the crypt immediately after Farkas transforms and ask the members of the Inner Circle what it's like being a werewolf. Skjor, Aela and Vilkas basically just tell you to keep your mouth shut, while Kodlak is shocked that you know and promises to discuss it with you properly after the end of your trial. 4. During the Windhelm "Blood on the Ice" Quest, Calixto Corrium is one of the first witnesses to Susanna's murder that the DB has to question. His leading line will be "Always sad when someone has to die". Think about that: not it's sad that someone died, but that someone HAD TO die. It's a small subtle allusion to his identity as the real killer! 5. Unlike nearly every other enemy in the game, slashing at draugr will not cause any blood to splatter on your weapon. This also extends to dwemer machines for obvious reasons but does NOT extend to ghosts (probably because ghosts are really just normal npcs with a spectral effect overlayed). 6. After the end of "No One Escapes From Cidna Mine", Thonar will start hitting on his receptionist as part of his radiant dialogue... his receptionist who was the wife of Eltrys, also known as the guy who Thonar had murdered for knowing too much. He made this poor girl a widow only a few months into her marriage, while pregnant, and he's got the gall to hit on her afterward! What a trash man. At least with the Markarth questline complete, you can personally assassinate him...
The next time you go into Saarthal, and you hear Tolfdir say, "look at all these coffins", look up at the ceiling. And under the grate in the water. Hundreds upon hundreds of coffins. His quote makes much more sense once you know that, rather than just looking at the coffins in the walls.
Yep, its implied multiple times on the Dawnguard questline that they just moved in and kicked out the previous inhabitants, I dont know why Nate forgot about that.
i was gonna mention that. that castle wasn't originally theirs. she even says that the moondial in her moms garden used to be a sundial that valerica had converted.
@@Juddernaut89 How is that vague? Nobody would refer to their own family actively using the castle, as former occupants. She is also pretty clear about someone else originally having the sun dial installed and her mother getting it changed.
@@neoyuls And knowing the Altmer's reputation of being excellent mages, they could also just use ice spells to conserve it. I believe that they simply eat Tartare as it seems very fitting (moreso than eating human flesh anyway)
@@neoyuls i doubt it would freeze.. skyrim is not VERY cold.. it's most likely between 35 and 50 degrees, the streams are not even frozen in most places. in the colder areas of skyrim it would be more like a refrigerator set to a low setting, but probably not cold enough to freeze raw meat. ideally meat would be frozen at about 0 degrees (-18 Celsius) the streams would be pretty much solid ice and lakes frozen over if the temps were that low.
Actually, there’s several incidents of human flesh being beef instead in game. It’s implied the meat that the vendor sells in Markarth is human flesh, but the items are not labeled as such.
SHEOOOGORATH Yeah, , , back on the track Smoking some crack Making hoes mad Cuz im a god , THE MAD GOD With this giant cock Going to pop them with my conjured Glock
ACTUALLY~ Jonna explicitly calls Falion her brother, and has a few different lines of dialogue about him. She also confirms that she came to Morthal because he did. BUT~ Falion says that he briefly taught at the College of Winterhold, so they probably didn't go directly from Hammerfell to Hjaalmarch.
Yeah, it was really bothering me that he didn't make mention and straight up thought the game didn't mention anything about it. It's like he didn't even bother talking to the npcs
they've been known to use raw beef in other instances, such as in that saw mill in Falkreath Hold where a vampire is staying. She has a secret shack with human skulls and bones and raw beef on a table. There's also that meat seller in Markarth who sells "the bloodiest beef in Skyrim," which we know to actually be human flesh, but in order to be sly about it the developers put down raw beef and venison instead. This is the same thing.
@@TheSleepiestPlurals true but I think the Markarth vendor can be explained by saying you don't know it's human flesh, unless you do that one daedric quest, so it makes sense for it to be called raw beef. But the vampire shack, I totally agree.
the volkihar one is confirmed! not necessarily by bretons but in the dawngaurd main quest serena mentions that the “previous owners” had built a sundial which was really ironic for them(she goes on to say they converted it to a moodail)
what if todd howard watches these videos and is like 'shit we need more details in tes6 than we had in skyrim' every episode and each episode adds a week to the dev time while they detail up. that's 54 weeks and counting.
What if Todd Howard says “shit we need more money. let’s release a game before it’s done and hope the players add substance to it before anyone finds out.”
raw beef isn't that weird :/ maybe it represents steak tartar, or jerky, the cold weather is perfect to make jerky, honestly you can eat raw beef without much danger if you eat it in moderation
@@ChoseManatee actually blue steak is very VERY lightly seared at the highest temperatures for the shortest time to kill surface bacteria, so there isnt much to any risk with blue steak
I love how you make things that could be glanced over actually sound like an interesting and important part of the game. Really shows how much work was put in to Skyrim :)
Would make sense if Falion came from Sentinel. Considering he deals with the dead, he’s probably running from the laws and traditions of the Redguard Homeland.
Merchant: “Guard! You must help me! A thief has stolen my goods!” Guard: “Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?” Merchant: “Yeah! I own a bakery you numskull!”
The child sized drauger do have a story. Further into the dungeon you can find a journal written by the dragon priest (don't remember which one) at the end of it. In the book it explains why they are there.
Well for number 8, I do recall that when I was about to enter the ruined section of castle volkhar, serana said that we where entering through a entrance that the 'previous owners' of the castle used to get goods in to the castle via a boat.
I like your theory about castle volkihar. I had the same thought about it being owned by a different group before the vampires had it. Your find of the statue of mara is a good clue and high rock seems a solid link. Nice work!
For # 8 there is a letter from Rahgot that orders the residents of the dungeon to clear out the garden to bury the children. It was during a siege by Snow-Shod during the fall of the Dragon cult. There is a whole story to the place.
I swear to god this game will never die until ES6 comes. It feels like that i'm really inside the game when playing my sneaky archer dagger illusion character 😂
Amusing as always, but I do have a few comments: 1) I'm actually convinced it's a mistake. There seem to be several of them in that region. For example, at Shor's Stone just north of there, Sylja can be referred to as Grelka. Grelka is back in Riften and is never seen in Shor's Stone under any vanilla circumstance. My guess is that the writers got several characters confused. 2) I actually just think that they did the raw food so as to not give the player cooked food because it heals more; it's not the only place that has raw food apparently being served, hence why I believe it to be a limiter to encourage the player to interact with cooking or alchemy to get their healing items. Considering the cold in that region, the meat would be preserved in transit, so I don't think it's logictically implausible for them to get some meat to their soldiers. 3) I played several versions of the base game game and none of them actually had a lid on that coffin. I think it may have beeneither Special Edition or a mod that put the lid back on. This is similar to the time you noted there's nightshade behind Camilla Valerius's house; there's no plants there in the base original game. 7) While I have no evidence for this, I do think it's plausible that Harkon did have the castle built... but before he was a Vampire. I feel like there would be more Vampire Lords about flaunting their power if it was something that just anyone could achieve, so it seems likely that making the deal in the first place requires significant resources that would only be availaible to someone of comparable status to a Jarl. It seems equally likely to having him just take it over, considering he seems like someone who won't be satisfied with just any home. (As for why there was a statue of Mara and he turned to the Daedra... any number of things can test someone's faith and see them converted.)
4:00 Snobbinish reminds me of beef tartare ( Steak tartare is a meat dish made from raw ground (minced) beef or horsemeat. It is usually served with onions, capers, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and other seasonings, often presented to the diner separately, to be added for taste. It is often served on rye bread with a raw egg yolk) which is what fancy rich people sometimes eat
Speaking of number 5, speaking of inns and taverns. The Retching Netch is Solstheims only, it's owned by a Dunmer named Geldis Sadri. This is a nod to the movie Twister. Something about and unclothed dude, throwing a substance into the air that never touched the ground that created a tornado.
Nah dude thats too much. Hes gotta state the same details and same facts he covered from like 2 years ago constantly cuz no one notices 🖒gotta get views somehow
@@rmt3589 i dont think he's never running out, cause when details are not available anymore, he'll just make videos about "10 another unsolved mysteries" or "10 most fun side quests" an so on. Thats my opinion tho
I started a new game several days ago. I am playing novice difficulty but survival mode. I have to watch my food, my rest and air temperature. My carry weight is half of what it normally is and all arrows have weight. I have a few creation club mods and I think one of them gave me the fire, lightning and frost arrows. It is like shooting a grenade when it hits. Nice splash damage and they are quite useful. No fast travel but it also means I am seeing much more of the game. Your videos are also causing me to see more and appreciate the game a lot more. Thank you, epic nate.
7:12 You don't exclusively know this through the Creation Kit. She says it to you right away and hints it to you during dialouge too, confirming this in game as well.
Eight things I've noticed that haven't been covered yet: 1. When doing the Dark Brotherhood questline, the Thieves Guild member (I forget his name) has different dialogue when you take him the Elder Council Amulet if you've already completed the Thieves Guild questline. It's possible that there's also dialogue for if you're partway through the Thieves Guild questline when you speak to him for the Dark Brotherhood questline. 2. Keeping with the Thieves Guild, when you first enter Riften you'll see Sapphire trying to extort payment for a loan from Riften's stable hand. If you talk to him, he'll ask you to help with the loan since Sapphire stole the shipment of equipment he borrowed money from her to get. Generally, if you talk to her you have the option to either persuade her or pay the loan off yourself, but if you're the Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild, you can use your position and knowledge of the Guild's rules to intimidate her into backing down by calling her out on breaking the Guild's rules by not giving the Guild a cut and promising to overlook it if she lets the loan go. 3. In the game's main questline, when you talk to Tsun and he asks who you are, you're given a list of options based off the guild questlines you've completed up until that point. The dialogue for them is about what you'd expect if you reveal you're the Harbinger of the Companions, Listener of the Dark Brotherhood, or a Nightingale, where he responds with respect for the first and distrust for the last two. If you reveal that you're the Archmage of the College of Winterhold, however, Tsun will actually comment on the fact that Nords distrust and despise magic before stating that it's still just as honorable to wield spells as it is to use a bow or sword. This suggests that, while most Nords view mages as weak and cowardly, Tsun and Shor don't care about the tools a warrior uses so long as they're strong and honorable. 4. Dragon shouts are each made up of three words in the Dragon tongue. What may not be totally obvious at first with the named dragons until you reach a certain point in the main questline or the Dawnguard questline is that every dragon's name is also made of three words in the Dragon Tongue, making every dragon's name technically a shout. This is important because, as stated, using a dragon's name as a shout is viewed as a challenge between dragons that they can't resist. Many of these have actual translations: Paarthurnax, for instance, is Ambition-Overlord-Cruelty, which could be loosely taken to mean "ambitious, cruel overlord" or something similar. This can be taken as a subtle nod to the fact that Parrthurnax was once one of Alduin's most important lieutenants before betraying him to teach the Thu'um to mankind. Alduin's name translates to "Destroyer-Devour-Master" which both describes his role as the World Eater and master of all other dragons. 5. Bouncing over to the Dawnguard questline, when you get sent to Dimhollow Crypt in the quest Awakening, you fight through a collection of vampires and their undead minions. What might not be known if you rush through the dungeon is that members of Harkon's court are mentioned twice during the quest. The first is when you enter it and two vampires talk about killing Tolan before one complains about the delay in their mission, saying they're tempted to report their group's leader to one of Harkon's two Councilors. When you reach the area where Serana is sealed away, if you don't rush in, you'll hear a vampire talking to a captured Vigilant before killing him. If you move slowly rather than killing the two vampires, they'll talk briefly about the situation before Lokil, the leader of the vampires, comments that their success here may get them an influential place in Harkon's court, explicitly referring to Harkon and one of his two councilors by name. 6. Still with the Awakening quest, when you release Serana she'll ask you to take her back home and you'll get the quest Bloodline. What the game doesn't tell you is it's possible to instead head back to Fort Dawnguard first to report to Isran. This interaction has a few interesting points as you can not only fill him in on what, or who, you found, but also Serana's request. Curiously, if you do this, one of the options is to mention she wants to be taken to her castle, which you aren't aware of as her home until later in the quest, and no matter what dialogue option you pick Isran will tell you to take her to her family's castle. If you don't take Harkon's gift, Isran will remember this conversation when you speak to him outside Fort Dawnguard after leaving Castle Volkihar. 7. Everyone remembers Valerica, Serana's mother who chose to hide in the Soul Cairn and seal away Serana to thwart Harkon's desire to complete the Tyranny of the Sun prophesy. We also all remember our trek through Backreach as part of either the main questline or Dawnguard. What many people may not realize unless they've read the book "an Accounting of the Elder Scrolls" is that Elder Scrolls are much, much more complicated than they appear to be. The Moth Priests reveal to the author of the book that the Elder Scrolls don't actually exist "in a countable number" and demonstrates this by having the author count out the number of Scrolls in a repository, give one to the Priest, and then count again to reveal that the number of Scrolls sitting there has increased. In fact, before the events of Skyrim, all the Elder Scrolls in the Imperial Library vanished. These two facts indicate that the Elder Scrolls are only physical manifestations of something and are, quite possibly, even semi-sentient. What does this have to do with Valerica, Serana, and Blackreach? Each of them held (or in the case of Blackreach, contained) an Elder Scroll for hundreds or even thousands of years. It's entirely possible that, during this timeframe, these very same Scrolls were also in the Imperial Library on a shelf or four attended by the Moth Priests at the exact same time. The fact that these Scrolls are at the locations or in the possession of the people we find them with indicates a possibly conscious choice on the part of the Scrolls to be the guiding hand through defeating the threats of both Harkon and Alduin. 8. Sticking with Valerica, this is a small one, but after you defeat Harkon it's potentially possible to return to the Soul Cairn to let her know the threat's been dealt with. If you do so, she'll leave the Soul Cairn and set up shop in her laboratory in Castle Volkihar.
Great video as usual, Nate. But there are a couple of tiny details you may have missed while playing the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: @ 6:57 They actually do mention Falion's relation to Janna in game. Before you join the College of Winterhold, you're able to ask various innkeepers where you can learn magic. If you ask Janna, she'll ask if you're looking for Falion, get defensive, tell you to go to Winterhold and to "leave her brother alone." @ 11:40 Forelhost has an interesting backstory that probably explains the tiny draugr. A journal can be found in the crypt(I think the first bedroom in the dungeon). The abridged version is that an ancient Nord general, Skorm Snow-Strider, laid siege to the crypt. When his men final took the courtyard and entered the place they soon discovered that Raghot(the resident dragon priest) had ordered his forces to collapse the hallways and poison the wells in the temple. Later on in the temple, you'll find an "Alchemist's Note" that tells of one of Raghot's alchemists expressing concern with him about mass producing poison and distributing it to the whole temple, at the end of the note it reads, " If we are to die, then let us die with blades in our hands, rather than with poison on our lips and daggers at our children's throats!" They probably killed their own children to spare them from the poison and wrapped them up in cloth for an improptu burial. On that note, I want to end this comment with a Keep the great work, and I'm looking forward to another 10 tiny details.
Castle Volkihar definitely had a previous owner. during the Dawnguard questline, Serana comments that the old owners of the castle used the dock in back to receive supplies.
I killed a cow, and my bounty went down. Apparently this cow counted as a witness to my other shenanigans. Someone needs to make a Skyrim cow court mod. If it's not already a thing.
Think i found a neat detail, if you approach a vililant of standarr they will a deadric atrifact, they will ask you to hand it over (unless this is added by some dialogue mod or something)
@Okapi Lizard Weird thing in my recent playthroughs (SE). The Vigilants get into a snit about Auri-El's bow and shield, which are Aedric weapons, not Deadric. I have a mod that allows me to smith Auri-El's sword (to go with the shield) and the same goes for it, as well.
Unless you have a watchful eye, you may have never even noticed that Skyrim actually cycles between day and night. Just an example of how much attention to detail the developers put in
The Volkihar Castle was actually owned by another group, Serana has a piece of dialog where she talks about the original owners and how they used to have a port behind the castle
Falion has a little bit of a story too. He used to be a Teacher at the College of Winterhold. And the woman that owns the Moorside does have a line of dialogue about her and Falion moved to Morthal together... so yeah
@@wesleylee1504 I'm just saying the fellow is kinda interesting. Really there are alot of weirdly cool things in Morthal... even if it's one of the worse towns in the game
I've done countless playthroughs and in every single one of them, the Silver Hand character "hiding in the sarcophagus" never hid inside it, but leaned against it.
There is a weird thing that I noticed while playing a dunmer character. I don't know if this is a glitch, but i noticed that when a dunmer wears thalmor robes, the overall colour of the gold decorations is tarnished so to speak. The bright gold is turned into a dull brassy colour, as if it has been corrupted. Maybe there is a lore reason, but I feel that it might fit into one of these lists. Sorry if it has already been noticed.
Raw beef could be an homage to the meal known as Beef Tartar which is considered a classy meal. It could also be a hidden sign that the few Thalmor with that are Werewolves secretly cause in Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary in front of the Werewolf dude is a plate of raw beef.
The Mara statue in Volkihar castle is in a cathedral like room so its not just a statue, it's a full on temple (though desecrated). I always believed that it was where Serana's parents got married (cause they did that before the vampire stuff) and later Harkon destroyed it (maybe to appease Molag Bal when they started worshiping him or maybe in rage when Valerica betrayed him like what he did to the courtyard)
#4: There is dialogue about Fallion and Jana, but it's not found in Morthal. Fallion used to be the Conjuration master at Winterhold college. Talk to the current Conjuration master, and he might mention that Fallion used to be his teacher, and one day just up and left due to a personality conflict with the Archmage, Savos Aren. He'll then say that Fallion moved to Morthal either with his sister or to be with his sister (I don't remember exactly how the dialogue goes).
Ever heard of bard's leap in the reach? Take the leap and a bard's ghost will comment on it at the bottom! It is next to the briarheart ritual you mentioned in another video once. You make great content and thanks for reading.
Ok, i wanted to comment about the northwatch keep, the thalmor prison. Now, the cannibal theory is sound enough given the lack of cows and abundance of prisoners. However, as you stated, the thalmor are overall snobbish. So, these "high society" type, in my speculation, are actually treating themselves to a high class delicacy: steak tartare, raw chopped beef. Yeah, there's no cows nearby and raw beef doesn't keep very well, but as you state in multiple videos it's a world of magic, dragons, and all kinds of fantasy themes. That in mind, it's not too farfetched to think these high elves had the delicacy special delivered to them while having to stay and keep watch over the prisoners. Anyway, great catch on the detail, just think steak tartare makes more sense than cannibalism. Especially when cannibals in the game usually have loads of human flesh and meat around and there are only 2 raw beef at the location, reinforcing the rare delicacy idea.
Regarding the Forelhost detail, you may recall that the dungeon is home to one of the last bastions of the Dragon Cult, and indeed you can find literature in the ruin suggesting it was discovered in 1E 139 and besieged by forces of Harald, then Jarl of Windhelm. The childrens' bodies were part of a ritual suicide by the cultists, possibly to power a magical barrier keeping the attackers out.

o lawd
Some small details I've noticed in recent playthroughs that I THINK Nate hasn't talked about (I honestly can't be sure, there's so many videos that I may have missed a couple lol):
1. Members of the Companions (+ Tilma and Eorlund) will not react violently to a transformed lycanthrope dragonborn, and even better: they'll use the dialogue they'd use if the player is naked, leading to funny exchanges like Ria commenting that she doesn't see THAT every day or Vilkas yelling at you to put some clothes on. Side note: They'll also defend you from the rest of Whiterun if you transform in town, even during your first transformation if they happen to be in the vicinity. During mine, Eorlund straight up killed Belethor in the streets because he happened to be around to see him try to slash at me in wolf form lol.
2. In the main questline, if you've received the mission from Faranger to get the dragonstone and after you've retrieved it, stopping at Riverwood's inn will reveal that Delphine isn't there. If you talk to him, Orgnar will point this out and if you ask him how to rent a room, he says you can't but that you're free to sleep on the floor if you want. You won't be able to get a room there until you return to Dragonsreach with the dragonstone and conclude the quest.
3. During the "Proving Honor" quest in the Companions questline, you can actually leave the crypt immediately after Farkas transforms and ask the members of the Inner Circle what it's like being a werewolf. Skjor, Aela and Vilkas basically just tell you to keep your mouth shut, while Kodlak is shocked that you know and promises to discuss it with you properly after the end of your trial.
4. During the Windhelm "Blood on the Ice" Quest, Calixto Corrium is one of the first witnesses to Susanna's murder that the DB has to question. His leading line will be "Always sad when someone has to die". Think about that: not it's sad that someone died, but that someone HAD TO die. It's a small subtle allusion to his identity as the real killer!
5. Unlike nearly every other enemy in the game, slashing at draugr will not cause any blood to splatter on your weapon. This also extends to dwemer machines for obvious reasons but does NOT extend to ghosts (probably because ghosts are really just normal npcs with a spectral effect overlayed).
6. After the end of "No One Escapes From Cidna Mine", Thonar will start hitting on his receptionist as part of his radiant dialogue... his receptionist who was the wife of Eltrys, also known as the guy who Thonar had murdered for knowing too much. He made this poor girl a widow only a few months into her marriage, while pregnant, and he's got the gall to hit on her afterward! What a trash man. At least with the Markarth questline complete, you can personally assassinate him...
Hey guys it's skyrim here, and nate is a pretty big game.
Hey games, it's guy here, and Nate is a pretty big Skyrim.

Hello, am nate, skybig
damn! this comment is gold.. made my day🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The next time you go into Saarthal, and you hear Tolfdir say, "look at all these coffins", look up at the ceiling. And under the grate in the water. Hundreds upon hundreds of coffins. His quote makes much more sense once you know that, rather than just looking at the coffins in the walls.
Serana actually said something about “the former owners of the Castle” once.
Yep, its implied multiple times on the Dawnguard questline that they just moved in and kicked out the previous inhabitants, I dont know why Nate forgot about that.
I was about to mention this. I believe its when you enter her moms courtyard.
i was gonna mention that. that castle wasn't originally theirs. she even says that the moondial in her moms garden used to be a sundial that valerica had converted.
It's vague, she could be referring to her family prior to being changed as "The former occupants"
@@Juddernaut89 How is that vague? Nobody would refer to their own family actively using the castle, as former occupants. She is also pretty clear about someone else originally having the sun dial installed and her mother getting it changed.
4:00 Human Flesh is an item in the game, though. There's very little reason why it wouldn't have just been that if that was the intent.
And, regarding preservation, skyrim is obviously veeery cold so they could freeze it by leaving it outside
@@neoyuls And knowing the Altmer's reputation of being excellent mages, they could also just use ice spells to conserve it.
I believe that they simply eat Tartare as it seems very fitting (moreso than eating human flesh anyway)
@@neoyuls i doubt it would freeze.. skyrim is not VERY cold.. it's most likely between 35 and 50 degrees, the streams are not even frozen in most places. in the colder areas of skyrim it would be more like a refrigerator set to a low setting, but probably not cold enough to freeze raw meat. ideally meat would be frozen at about 0 degrees (-18 Celsius) the streams would be pretty much solid ice and lakes frozen over if the temps were that low.
Actually, there’s several incidents of human flesh being beef instead in game. It’s implied the meat that the vendor sells in Markarth is human flesh, but the items are not labeled as such.
PSSSSST want some skooma
I Swear Nate is just Todd Howard using an illusion spell how else would he know all this?

3. You can’t use your hands at the beginning of the game, because they are bound.
4. See that mountain? You can go there
M’aiq is confused are there more tiny details
Does this kitty want moon sugar?
Hey M'aiq!,do you know any jokes?,and don't say "Everyone except for M'aiq" it's getting old!
Khajiit has tiny details if you have coin.
Glass Canon lol
This is the new M'aiq, I was the other one and I retired that account.
ACTUALLY~ Jonna explicitly calls Falion her brother, and has a few different lines of dialogue about him. She also confirms that she came to Morthal because he did. BUT~ Falion says that he briefly taught at the College of Winterhold, so they probably didn't go directly from Hammerfell to Hjaalmarch.
Yeah, it was really bothering me that he didn't make mention and straight up thought the game didn't mention anything about it. It's like he didn't even bother talking to the npcs
Why didn't they just put human flesh on the plates instead. It's in the game, it's an alchemy ingredient!
Interesting question. I had an itch in my mind when he said that, and yeah...
they've been known to use raw beef in other instances, such as in that saw mill in Falkreath Hold where a vampire is staying. She has a secret shack with human skulls and bones and raw beef on a table. There's also that meat seller in Markarth who sells "the bloodiest beef in Skyrim," which we know to actually be human flesh, but in order to be sly about it the developers put down raw beef and venison instead. This is the same thing.
@@TheSleepiestPlurals true but I think the Markarth vendor can be explained by saying you don't know it's human flesh, unless you do that one daedric quest, so it makes sense for it to be called raw beef. But the vampire shack, I totally agree.
Arnbjorn, the guy in the Dark Brotherhood, also likes raw beef. Think of that what you will.
princessbinas well he is a werewolf and they eat human heart
7:03 SHE TELL THE PLAYER THAT FALION IS HER BROTHER, YOU GOT CONFUSED HERE NATE.
I don't click first
I don't click last
But when TheEpicNate315 posts
I click fast
the volkihar one is confirmed! not necessarily by bretons but in the dawngaurd main quest serena mentions that the “previous owners” had built a sundial which was really ironic for them(she goes on to say they converted it to a moodail)
Whatever you do don’t stop making Skyrim vids til elder scrolls 6 comes out
Even then!
what if todd howard watches these videos and is like 'shit we need more details in tes6 than we had in skyrim' every episode and each episode adds a week to the dev time while they detail up. that's 54 weeks and counting.
What if Todd Howard says “shit we need more money. let’s release a game before it’s done and hope the players add substance to it before anyone finds out.”
@@ChipsMcClive didn't he already do that with fallout 76
@@nolxck77 Yeah he did
raw beef isn't that weird :/ maybe it represents steak tartar, or jerky, the cold weather is perfect to make jerky, honestly you can eat raw beef without much danger if you eat it in moderation
Maverick Crow sure it’s known as blue?
I agree. Beef sashimi, blue steak, beef tartar. All really tasty and healthy meals, if done right and in moderation.
@@ChoseManatee actually blue steak is very VERY lightly seared at the highest temperatures for the shortest time to kill surface bacteria, so there isnt much to any risk with blue steak
It has to be steak of some kind
BTW , Fallion did not come parts unknown. He was formerly a teacher at the college. Correct me if I am mistaken.
I came down here just to find this, thank you
Also pretty sure if you talk to Jonna she mentions that she moved to Morthal with Falion , tho don’t remember her saying he’s her brother.
Jonna actually mentions that he is her brother if you ask her about learning magic :)
One of the teachers mentions he left as well.
Im surprised he doesnt know that. It is very easy to catch that if you talk to npcs and exhaust their dialogues.
I love how you make things that could be glanced over actually sound like an interesting and important part of the game. Really shows how much work was put in to Skyrim :)
"In an ultra-immersive fashion"
Well, he is very immersed in that door.
"Just a little food for thought ... no pun intended."
Intend your puns, you coward!
Next Video: 10 Details you may have missed while watching Nate's videos
Would make sense if Falion came from Sentinel. Considering he deals with the dead, he’s probably running from the laws and traditions of the Redguard Homeland.
Merchant: “Guard! You must help me! A thief has stolen my goods!”
Guard: “Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?”
Merchant: “Yeah! I own a bakery you numskull!”
The child sized drauger do have a story. Further into the dungeon you can find a journal written by the dragon priest (don't remember which one) at the end of it. In the book it explains why they are there.
Playing right now, perfect video to accompany it! ❤️
I always wondered why "respect my athority", earned me a trophy on ps4
Hey skyrim, it’s game here. And Nate is a pretty big guy.
Wait-
Well for number 8, I do recall that when I was about to enter the ruined section of castle volkhar, serana said that we where entering through a entrance that the 'previous owners' of the castle used to get goods in to the castle via a boat.
Thanks for making Sunday that much better, Nate!
I like your theory about castle volkihar. I had the same thought about it being owned by a different group before the vampires had it. Your find of the statue of mara is a good clue and high rock seems a solid link. Nice work!
When you have more hours on Skyrim then you have spent outside.
I wonder, after the thieves guild quest involving her, would people be happy if I kill Helga?
i love your "Skyrim 10 tiny details" series!!!
Why did you write the same comment twice
bad wolf oops didnt see that, i guess horrible connection was the problem
Nate at 11:21
Me whispering to my self:a gAmE ThEoRy
For # 8 there is a letter from Rahgot that orders the residents of the dungeon to clear out the garden to bury the children. It was during a siege by Snow-Shod during the fall of the Dragon cult. There is a whole story to the place.

Congrats! It's a great joy and honour!
I swear to god this game will never die until ES6 comes. It feels like that i'm really inside the game when playing my sneaky archer dagger illusion character 😂
Dude how do you notice these things??? Another lit video!
Amusing as always, but I do have a few comments:
1) I'm actually convinced it's a mistake. There seem to be several of them in that region. For example, at Shor's Stone just north of there, Sylja can be referred to as Grelka. Grelka is back in Riften and is never seen in Shor's Stone under any vanilla circumstance. My guess is that the writers got several characters confused.
2) I actually just think that they did the raw food so as to not give the player cooked food because it heals more; it's not the only place that has raw food apparently being served, hence why I believe it to be a limiter to encourage the player to interact with cooking or alchemy to get their healing items. Considering the cold in that region, the meat would be preserved in transit, so I don't think it's logictically implausible for them to get some meat to their soldiers.
3) I played several versions of the base game game and none of them actually had a lid on that coffin. I think it may have beeneither Special Edition or a mod that put the lid back on. This is similar to the time you noted there's nightshade behind Camilla Valerius's house; there's no plants there in the base original game.
7) While I have no evidence for this, I do think it's plausible that Harkon did have the castle built... but before he was a Vampire. I feel like there would be more Vampire Lords about flaunting their power if it was something that just anyone could achieve, so it seems likely that making the deal in the first place requires significant resources that would only be availaible to someone of comparable status to a Jarl. It seems equally likely to having him just take it over, considering he seems like someone who won't be satisfied with just any home. (As for why there was a statue of Mara and he turned to the Daedra... any number of things can test someone's faith and see them converted.)
*nothing happens*
EpicNate: "I have my own theory"
I can't believe you're still consistently making this awesome content, also can't believe how many teensy details are in this game
who wants a mega compilation of all the episodes so far

Thats like 13.5 Hours Total of all 54 Parts (Estimated 15minutes Per Video)
4:00 Snobbinish reminds me of beef tartare (
Steak tartare is a meat dish made from raw ground (minced) beef or horsemeat. It is usually served with onions, capers, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and other seasonings, often presented to the diner separately, to be added for taste. It is often served on rye bread with a raw egg yolk) which is what fancy rich people sometimes eat
Speaking of number 5, speaking of inns and taverns. The Retching Netch is Solstheims only, it's owned by a Dunmer named Geldis Sadri. This is a nod to the movie Twister. Something about and unclothed dude, throwing a substance into the air that never touched the ground that created a tornado.
Have you thought about doing this for Morrowind or Oblivion?
Yeah, I recently started Oblivion and was thinking about it
Nah dude thats too much. Hes gotta state the same details and same facts he covered from like 2 years ago constantly cuz no one notices 🖒gotta get views somehow
@@connorcavin6976 that's why he should do Morrowind and Oblivion. He's running out, so that gives him new content.

Hi Nate!!! Big fan. Thanks for all that you do!!!
After 54 videos of tiny details I'm still looking forward to a lot more!
No views 15 likes. You rock dude! 😊 always watch your skyrim vids
This one was even nicer than usual. Lots of things I didn't know. Good job, Nate!
"Wow, it sure is weird these guys are eating raw beef!"
This man has clearly never had beef tartare.
I started a new game several days ago. I am playing novice difficulty but survival mode. I have to watch my food, my rest and air temperature. My carry weight is half of what it normally is and all arrows have weight. I have a few creation club mods and I think one of them gave me the fire, lightning and frost arrows. It is like shooting a grenade when it hits. Nice splash damage and they are quite useful. No fast travel but it also means I am seeing much more of the game. Your videos are also causing me to see more and appreciate the game a lot more. Thank you, epic nate.
I'm just waiting for the first "10 tiny details in the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" can you imagine?
7:12 You don't exclusively know this through the Creation Kit. She says it to you right away and hints it to you during dialouge too, confirming this in game as well.
Oi, so I was in reverwood recently, and went through Ralofs house. They have soul gems and a set of black robes. Theories?
Eight things I've noticed that haven't been covered yet:
1. When doing the Dark Brotherhood questline, the Thieves Guild member (I forget his name) has different dialogue when you take him the Elder Council Amulet if you've already completed the Thieves Guild questline. It's possible that there's also dialogue for if you're partway through the Thieves Guild questline when you speak to him for the Dark Brotherhood questline.
2. Keeping with the Thieves Guild, when you first enter Riften you'll see Sapphire trying to extort payment for a loan from Riften's stable hand. If you talk to him, he'll ask you to help with the loan since Sapphire stole the shipment of equipment he borrowed money from her to get. Generally, if you talk to her you have the option to either persuade her or pay the loan off yourself, but if you're the Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild, you can use your position and knowledge of the Guild's rules to intimidate her into backing down by calling her out on breaking the Guild's rules by not giving the Guild a cut and promising to overlook it if she lets the loan go.
3. In the game's main questline, when you talk to Tsun and he asks who you are, you're given a list of options based off the guild questlines you've completed up until that point. The dialogue for them is about what you'd expect if you reveal you're the Harbinger of the Companions, Listener of the Dark Brotherhood, or a Nightingale, where he responds with respect for the first and distrust for the last two. If you reveal that you're the Archmage of the College of Winterhold, however, Tsun will actually comment on the fact that Nords distrust and despise magic before stating that it's still just as honorable to wield spells as it is to use a bow or sword. This suggests that, while most Nords view mages as weak and cowardly, Tsun and Shor don't care about the tools a warrior uses so long as they're strong and honorable.
4. Dragon shouts are each made up of three words in the Dragon tongue. What may not be totally obvious at first with the named dragons until you reach a certain point in the main questline or the Dawnguard questline is that every dragon's name is also made of three words in the Dragon Tongue, making every dragon's name technically a shout. This is important because, as stated, using a dragon's name as a shout is viewed as a challenge between dragons that they can't resist. Many of these have actual translations: Paarthurnax, for instance, is Ambition-Overlord-Cruelty, which could be loosely taken to mean "ambitious, cruel overlord" or something similar. This can be taken as a subtle nod to the fact that Parrthurnax was once one of Alduin's most important lieutenants before betraying him to teach the Thu'um to mankind. Alduin's name translates to "Destroyer-Devour-Master" which both describes his role as the World Eater and master of all other dragons.
5. Bouncing over to the Dawnguard questline, when you get sent to Dimhollow Crypt in the quest Awakening, you fight through a collection of vampires and their undead minions. What might not be known if you rush through the dungeon is that members of Harkon's court are mentioned twice during the quest. The first is when you enter it and two vampires talk about killing Tolan before one complains about the delay in their mission, saying they're tempted to report their group's leader to one of Harkon's two Councilors. When you reach the area where Serana is sealed away, if you don't rush in, you'll hear a vampire talking to a captured Vigilant before killing him. If you move slowly rather than killing the two vampires, they'll talk briefly about the situation before Lokil, the leader of the vampires, comments that their success here may get them an influential place in Harkon's court, explicitly referring to Harkon and one of his two councilors by name.
6. Still with the Awakening quest, when you release Serana she'll ask you to take her back home and you'll get the quest Bloodline. What the game doesn't tell you is it's possible to instead head back to Fort Dawnguard first to report to Isran. This interaction has a few interesting points as you can not only fill him in on what, or who, you found, but also Serana's request. Curiously, if you do this, one of the options is to mention she wants to be taken to her castle, which you aren't aware of as her home until later in the quest, and no matter what dialogue option you pick Isran will tell you to take her to her family's castle. If you don't take Harkon's gift, Isran will remember this conversation when you speak to him outside Fort Dawnguard after leaving Castle Volkihar.
7. Everyone remembers Valerica, Serana's mother who chose to hide in the Soul Cairn and seal away Serana to thwart Harkon's desire to complete the Tyranny of the Sun prophesy. We also all remember our trek through Backreach as part of either the main questline or Dawnguard. What many people may not realize unless they've read the book "an Accounting of the Elder Scrolls" is that Elder Scrolls are much, much more complicated than they appear to be. The Moth Priests reveal to the author of the book that the Elder Scrolls don't actually exist "in a countable number" and demonstrates this by having the author count out the number of Scrolls in a repository, give one to the Priest, and then count again to reveal that the number of Scrolls sitting there has increased. In fact, before the events of Skyrim, all the Elder Scrolls in the Imperial Library vanished. These two facts indicate that the Elder Scrolls are only physical manifestations of something and are, quite possibly, even semi-sentient. What does this have to do with Valerica, Serana, and Blackreach? Each of them held (or in the case of Blackreach, contained) an Elder Scroll for hundreds or even thousands of years. It's entirely possible that, during this timeframe, these very same Scrolls were also in the Imperial Library on a shelf or four attended by the Moth Priests at the exact same time. The fact that these Scrolls are at the locations or in the possession of the people we find them with indicates a possibly conscious choice on the part of the Scrolls to be the guiding hand through defeating the threats of both Harkon and Alduin.
8. Sticking with Valerica, this is a small one, but after you defeat Harkon it's potentially possible to return to the Soul Cairn to let her know the threat's been dealt with. If you do so, she'll leave the Soul Cairn and set up shop in her laboratory in Castle Volkihar.
I always go back for Valerica, 10-12 characters now. She also cleans up the garden and replants it.
"I used to be an adventurer till i took an arrow to the knee" is both a book reference and a marriage statement
Ohhh this was a fun one! Really nice job, Nate!
There's no way we've missed any details!
*watches video*
Well... shiet...
Recently found this series and have binged watched very episode so far now! Thankful this popped up in my feed today ❤️
What mods do you use for those crazy looking graphics?
Great video as usual, Nate. But there are a couple of tiny details you may have missed while playing the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:
@ 6:57
They actually do mention Falion's relation to Janna in game. Before you join the College of Winterhold, you're able to ask various innkeepers where you can learn magic. If you ask Janna, she'll ask if you're looking for Falion, get defensive, tell you to go to Winterhold and to "leave her brother alone."
@ 11:40
Forelhost has an interesting backstory that probably explains the tiny draugr.
A journal can be found in the crypt(I think the first bedroom in the dungeon). The abridged version is that an ancient Nord general, Skorm Snow-Strider, laid siege to the crypt. When his men final took the courtyard and entered the place they soon discovered that Raghot(the resident dragon priest) had ordered his forces to collapse the hallways and poison the wells in the temple.
Later on in the temple, you'll find an "Alchemist's Note" that tells of one of Raghot's alchemists expressing concern with him about mass producing poison and distributing it to the whole temple, at the end of the note it reads, " If we are to die, then let us die with blades in our hands, rather than with poison on our lips and daggers at our children's throats!" They probably killed their own children to spare them from the poison and wrapped them up in cloth for an improptu burial.
On that note, I want to end this comment with a Keep the great work, and I'm looking forward to another 10 tiny details.
Tiny details in Fallou..."Cough cough" I meant skyrim!.
Castle Volkihar definitely had a previous owner. during the Dawnguard questline, Serana comments that the old owners of the castle used the dock in back to receive supplies.
You can give your child the blade of sacrifice sorry if you had this on already 😆
I killed a cow, and my bounty went down. Apparently this cow counted as a witness to my other shenanigans. Someone needs to make a Skyrim cow court mod. If it's not already a thing.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU. The Retching Netch story has been driving me crazy for ages - I knew I’d heard that story before somewhere.
Can we have ten Massive details?
For the memes
Eg. There is a mountain!
Look! A cave!
You guys have torn this game apart, its incredible! Keep it up!
Serana literally says that there were “original owners” when talking about the castle...
I always loved that Twister reference. The movie is a guilty pleasure so I was thrilled to hear the line every time
Well, even if they eat human flesh, since they are elves, it is not cannibalism. So for me, it's ok
Weight is that okay for Nord just roasting Argonian oh no
Just for example bretons come from mer and "humans"
Are you a bosmer?(they are openly cannibals)
This guy typed the same comment twice and still didn’t proof read it once 💀💀💀
Think i found a neat detail, if you approach a vililant of standarr they will a deadric atrifact, they will ask you to hand it over (unless this is added by some dialogue mod or something)
@Okapi Lizard Weird thing in my recent playthroughs (SE). The Vigilants get into a snit about Auri-El's bow and shield, which are Aedric weapons, not Deadric. I have a mod that allows me to smith Auri-El's sword (to go with the shield) and the same goes for it, as well.
Unless you have a watchful eye, you may have never even noticed that Skyrim actually cycles between day and night. Just an example of how much attention to detail the developers put in
The Volkihar Castle was actually owned by another group, Serana has a piece of dialog where she talks about the original owners and how they used to have a port behind the castle
"Skyrim is a dummy thicc game. So much so that it might just murder you to death with its sheer thicccness!" (Thank me later.)
Falion has a little bit of a story too. He used to be a Teacher at the College of Winterhold. And the woman that owns the Moorside does have a line of dialogue about her and Falion moved to Morthal together... so yeah
Ah forgive the man, he had to find over half a thousand things
@@wesleylee1504 I'm just saying the fellow is kinda interesting. Really there are alot of weirdly cool things in Morthal... even if it's one of the worse towns in the game
Okay the "raw beef" being human flesh theory is wrong since there is f
Human flesh item
You and FudgeMuppet are the only reasons I still pick up skyrim on an almost daily basis
Small detail you all missed: Skyrim takes place in the province of Skyrim.
I've done countless playthroughs and in every single one of them, the Silver Hand character "hiding in the sarcophagus" never hid inside it, but leaned against it.
they couldve just USED the human flesh item instead if they meant it to be human flesh.
There is a weird thing that I noticed while playing a dunmer character.
I don't know if this is a glitch, but i noticed that when a dunmer wears thalmor robes, the overall colour of the gold decorations is tarnished so to speak. The bright gold is turned into a dull brassy colour, as if it has been corrupted.
Maybe there is a lore reason, but I feel that it might fit into one of these lists. Sorry if it has already been noticed.
Raw beef could be an homage to the meal known as Beef Tartar which is considered a classy meal. It could also be a hidden sign that the few Thalmor with that are Werewolves secretly cause in Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary in front of the Werewolf dude is a plate of raw beef.
The Mara statue in Volkihar castle is in a cathedral like room so its not just a statue, it's a full on temple (though desecrated). I always believed that it was where Serana's parents got married (cause they did that before the vampire stuff) and later Harkon destroyed it (maybe to appease Molag Bal when they started worshiping him or maybe in rage when Valerica betrayed him like what he did to the courtyard)
I think you can find out about the Falion/Jonna sibling thing through dialogue, pretty sure Jonna at least mentions in passing that they're related
#4: There is dialogue about Fallion and Jana, but it's not found in Morthal. Fallion used to be the Conjuration master at Winterhold college. Talk to the current Conjuration master, and he might mention that Fallion used to be his teacher, and one day just up and left due to a personality conflict with the Archmage, Savos Aren. He'll then say that Fallion moved to Morthal either with his sister or to be with his sister (I don't remember exactly how the dialogue goes).
Ever heard of bard's leap in the reach? Take the leap and a bard's ghost will comment on it at the bottom! It is next to the briarheart ritual you mentioned in another video once. You make great content and thanks for reading.
So you've featured 540 tiny details in this game. That's amazing.
3:45 I could see an Altmer chowing down on the delicacy that is steak tartare
As the prophecy state's "once the epic one know as Nate forges his 315's *Skyrim 10 little details* a new elder scrolls shall come to existance"
Ok, i wanted to comment about the northwatch keep, the thalmor prison. Now, the cannibal theory is sound enough given the lack of cows and abundance of prisoners. However, as you stated, the thalmor are overall snobbish. So, these "high society" type, in my speculation, are actually treating themselves to a high class delicacy: steak tartare, raw chopped beef. Yeah, there's no cows nearby and raw beef doesn't keep very well, but as you state in multiple videos it's a world of magic, dragons, and all kinds of fantasy themes. That in mind, it's not too farfetched to think these high elves had the delicacy special delivered to them while having to stay and keep watch over the prisoners. Anyway, great catch on the detail, just think steak tartare makes more sense than cannibalism. Especially when cannibals in the game usually have loads of human flesh and meat around and there are only 2 raw beef at the location, reinforcing the rare delicacy idea.
Regarding the Forelhost detail, you may recall that the dungeon is home to one of the last bastions of the Dragon Cult, and indeed you can find literature in the ruin suggesting it was discovered in 1E 139 and besieged by forces of Harald, then Jarl of Windhelm. The childrens' bodies were part of a ritual suicide by the cultists, possibly to power a magical barrier keeping the attackers out.
