    There is nothing more enjoyable to watch than a reactor losing their freakin' mind over a piece of music. Especially on something like this- Geoff has seriously been knocking them out of the park lately! While I'm no gamer, I have loads of respect for the music composed for them, which is often amazing and unfortunately seldom heard outside of the games. So until this dropped, I'd never heard this particular piece of music. And while I can't say I was as deeply connected to it as you (and many other reactors I've watched who played this game), it still manages to be an epic piece, deeply stirring even without the context. But your reaction, with your connection to the game, was so much fun, and it was truly wonderful to see the joy on your face as each new element unfolded. These guys are treasures, every one.

    As for Omar fumbling with the arrow, I think this is what happened: you may have noticed that at the beginning he has a quiver with some arrows on his back, and is playing with an arrow in his hands. Then he's out of frame for a while, then when the image comes back to him he seems to pull an arrow half out, then push it back. I think that just before that he was trying to put in the quiver the arrow that he has previously in his hands, but it became snagged before going in all the way so he pulled it part out again, and then managed to push it in the quiver all the way.

    You can always tell the Skyrim players who react to this video. That Fus Ro Dah is so powerful it even knocks them back and you always see the surprise on their faces that it was added to the song. Other reactors who have never played have no idea what those words are, they assume it's a normal part of the song.

      So much fun to watch you! I'll be honest, I'm NOT a gamer. However, my brother is and he played Skyrim some in highschool, so I was vaguely familiar with the music. (When your room is right next the den, you quick learn which game is being played solely based on the soundtrack you're hearing.) SERIOUSLY. I get chills every time I listen to this! And I don't even know what half of the words mean! THAT'S the power of good music!

    If you've ever tried to put an arrow into a quiver full of arrows, you know that sometimes it doesn't go in smoothly. When that happens, you have to pull it out a bit and try again. Omar was trying to put it away, but it was being stubborn. 😆 Good job on your reaction. Was fun watching you!

    Omar Cardona was a featured singer on VoicePlay versions of “Carry On My Wayward Son” and “Superstition”. You could review them if you’ve already heard them before. This WAS another one like “Hoist The Colors”. This is epic fantasy which I enjoy even though I’m not a gamer. What you didn’t see in the title is that it doesn’t say FROM Skyrim. It says Dragonborn Comes Skyrim. It’s another VoicePlay mashup. This is Geoff’s arrangement so he got to determine the parts. I love his arrangements. Thanks for your reaction. Take Care

    Re: the arrow.... If you look again, in the first shot, they're working with their weapons. Layne is sharpening his sword, Omar is fletching an arrow. I think he was replacing the arrow in his quiver and it got hung up on another arrow, so he needed to pull it partially out and then replace it.

    I'm sorry. I'm gonna have to rewatch this one. You had me laughing too much throughout. I knew from their early Patron release what Geoff was up to. As soon as you paused it on his opening sub, I thought to myself 'Just wait.', in fact I think this may have been a gotcha gift from Mr. Bass⁴. He's been catching all the reactors off guard with it.
    I had a ball watching you nerd out to this, and I'm not even familiar with Skyrim. I think my son may have played it years ago but not sure.
    Voiceplay always seems to prove that you don't need to stick to any particular musical lane. They take a piece from a movie, video game, pop genre etc., etc. that has a good sound and just blow the roof off it with their arranging. (They're not all perfect, of course, but each piece is objectively vocally musically well executed).
    Omar Cardona (he had the arrow out at the top of the scene, I think it was just an unclear edit, but he was trying to put it in his quiver so he could hit his next staging mark) has featured with them before, in "Superstition" and "Carry on Wayward Son". His brother EJ is in Voctave and has also featured on their "Go the Distance".

I find it interesting that even the reactors I’ve seen that are also Skyrim fans don’t seem aware of her original version of this song from years ago, and that they all seem so blown away by the Dovazhul portion of the song. Makes me feel like most of the Skyrim savvy reactors are under the impression that Voiceplay was the first to combine the two songs like this. I don’t intend to take away from the amazing job the Voiceplay has done with this song, because I absolutely love what they did with it, but I also don’t want to take away from what Malukah did originally so long ago.

    A couple of things... one - I love your over-reactions. You are a blast to watch when you love something. I don't play Skyrim, I play LotRO but I have similar loyalties. :)
    two - I went to the original VoicePlay video to watch an uninterrupted play and was thinking that Cesar is a damn chameleon. He's more changeable even than Mitch Grassi. I literally can't recognize him from video to video. So I was going to do some research and see if I could see a set of comparison images, and in order to to that I needed to know his full name, so I opened up the blurb under the video and found ... this:
    "VoicePlay is
    Eli Jacobson - Tenor Extraordinaire
    Cesar De La Rosa - Tenor Fabuloso
    Geoff Castellucci - Bass Bass Bass Bass
    Layne Stein - Drums and Shenanigans
    FEATURING Omar Cardona - Awe Inspiring"
    I am laughing so hard my ribs hurt.
    three - one of the other reactors was severely struck by the "pulsing" sound you hear every so often, and is convinced it isn't human-generated. I have no clue. I wondered similarly during "Hoist the Colors" the first time the lights flash and you hear a nearly sub-sonic "wohm" sound. What's your opinion? Gods know Layne is inventive as hell - I've no idea what his limits are.

    My amazing editor Mason made a very funny edit for this video that I ended up asking him not to include (just because it took away from the music a little too much), but he uploaded it on his own channel! If you’re looking for a laugh, make sure you go check it out!!

    Here’s a reference for everyone: Mortius explaining the mind bending necessity to resolve the phrase/progression reminds me of the tactic used in Who Framed Roger Rabbit that the old guy uses to draw out Roger by doing the “shave and a hair cut-“
    pattern but not ending it, driving Roger insane to the point of bursting through the wall he was hiding behind to finish by singing “TWO BITS!!” Lmao.

    I wondered that, too. Then I realized he was holding the arrow and tried to put it back in the quiver, miscalculated slightly, and had to withdraw it a little to get it into the right place. I watched this maybe 5 times before I realized he already had the arrow in his hand at the start.

    Yeah, this one's pretty awesome. They actually have three songs mixed in here, though I'm not sure who noticed it. They have "The Dragonborn Comes" and "The Elder Scrolls Main Theme" (at least the Skyrim version, they change it up slightly in each game, look it up, it's rather interesting) and then they have the "Skyrim Main Theme" which is the one in the dragon language, and isn't actually the same as the TES: Main Theme, but it incorporates elements of it. I'm impressed not only with their vocal performance but with the interesting way they arranged it.
