    41:07 This is called being "digitigrade"! All birds and many mammals are digitigrade - you'll notice that dogs and cats have this same structure but less dramatic than most birds. It's generally faster than the alternative (plantigrade, where your heels touch the ground). I think birds are just kinda stuck that way evolutionarily, even if they don't run anymore because it evolved a long time ago in the theropod dinosaurs that they evolved from. Most lizards, however, are plantigrade so it probably makes more sense for argonians to have flat feet, and more for khajiit to have the "backwards knees" like they also do in Morrowind.

      It's so funny looking at an elephant's skeleton. These hulking behemoths are tiptoeing across the savannah. They just have really fat feet.
      My personal theory is the Hist mutated the pre-argonian lizards to look a bit like Khajiit so they'd fit in with the other races of Tamriel. If they looked to human, it'd be uncanny, so they used the most humanoid beastfolk as reference. That's why female argonians have breasts. Why'd they pick Suthay-Raht over Ohmes? I dunno.

In ESO it's mentioned how the Hist sort of made them servile to help spread them across Nirn as servants and slaves to gather information and send it back to the trees. But while the khajit eventually got an in-lore explaination for the devs not wanting to use that model anymore, I don't think the argonians ever did beyond handwaving it as the Hist being able to mold them as it wishes.

      How else could they make Thieves guild useful and interesting? Locking fencing behind a high skill wall and a perk, in a game where leveling up non-combat skills is extremely counterproductive unless you break it first.
      The problem is not that though. Oblivion had more restrictive fencing, but it also had best guild quests feeling better than the main quest, making it feel like you completely miss out if you don't join.

    The art of making the ad reads as fun as the rest of the content so I actually watch them is not an easy one, but goddamn if you don't pull it off!

    @33:33 I mean, the sixth trial of the Nerevarine states they will eat the sins of the Tribe Unmourned. You may be skipping the big portions of the prophecy, but you're hitting most of them. Also, I bet it tastes like used bandages.

    i cannot express in words how perfect of a blend of many different dare I say attributes your Morrowind content has for me. If I were to describe how it feels one word comes to mind and it's therapy. It's soothing whacky and geniuanly interesting at the same time. A word of advice from someone who doesn't know shit tho. Once you run out of ideas for Morrowind don't be discouraged. Branch out. I''ll be here for it and I'm sure it's the same for many others.

    32:53 I agree, it would be cool if the Sleepers Awake quest was a little better integrated into the main quest. As it is, it feels like Threads of the Webspinner, where apparently the devs just expected you to scour the whole island, leaving no cave unexplored. IIRC there are a couple of isolated Sixth House bases with nothing to point you to them.

    • @feiradragon7915
      @feiradragon7915 2 місяці тому +4

      I'm a long time Morrowind fan and yet, this is literally the first time I heard about the Sleepers being able to be rescued. I just thought they were weird, cultist spies that were supposed to attack you as you progress the main quest.

    47:50 Isn't it highly implied that the Morag tong keep themselves hidden to have it be a test of initiation? If you can't find them then you don't deserve to be a member type thing. Guild leaders in other areas will give you the book that hints as to how to find the Morag Tong's main base but will state they can't tell you where it is. This also makes sense, it'd not put it past the great houses to try and take down the Morag Tong if they were to try to gain the upper hand on the other great houses. You can't tell me that Redoran wouldn't storm the main headquarters with their warriors for example, or that Hlaalu wouldn't hire mercenaries to destroy the Morag Tong if they knew where the base was after all. Past that, if I was an assassin in an order, even if it was legal, I wouldn't want people to know where my main base of operations was. Sure what I'm doing is legal...but not everyone is going to care about the law when they seek justice for you killing their best friend or parent etc.

    • @JustBackgroundNoise
      @JustBackgroundNoise  Місяць тому +2

      They have public guild halls all over Vvardenfell, even one _inside_ Under-Skar, so I don't think they're worried about retaliation.
      Finding them as part of member initiation makes sense, though.

    • @connectedgamers1753
      @connectedgamers1753 Місяць тому +1

      ​ @JustBackgroundNoise I think there's a big difference between someone attacking a guild hall and someone attacking the *main* guild hall. If you lose members of your order, that's one thing, if you lose the defacto "head" of the order, thats a different matter. I do agree that they probably aren't all that afraid of retaliation though. I definitely think its more in line of an initiation ritual since you can find "The Black Glove" in each of the guild halls which tells you how to find them under the Arena if you're smart enough "To make your oath and enter our service, the worthy must seek the Grandmaster, who by tradition lives in the unseen and unlooked-for corners of Vivec City between the blood of battle and the waters of life."

      Like, mate, it's literally where filth from the whole canton goes.
      Likewise, a certain altar advising you to breathe the waters of Vivec's glory seems to omit how the glory in question is probably his divine pee or whatever gods excrete

    I just have to comment that honestly your ad reads (which I usuallly end up skipping with other youtubers) are just chef's kiss just due to the fact how creative/funny they are and a seemingly subplot storyline you have going on since you started doing them...
    P.S. adreads cinematic universe (or ACU for short) when?

    worth noting that normally Neldris Llervu's scripting is bugged so if you talked to him about the sixth house after freeing him from the spell, you get a reputation point every time, so technically you could have just freed him and got infinite reputation
