      Curious, why do your videos start INSTANTLY. I'm not saying having a big intro, its just a little weird.
      Also should have gone with Game of Thrones man,

      Shadowslice why

    • @Shadowslice
      @Shadowslice 7 років тому +6

      Mr Hamilton I feel like it puts the focus on the infomation in the video rather than the channel (which is a nice change from most other channels)

    • @mraj8372
      @mraj8372 7 років тому +1

      Seriously have you seen the channels pumping out GoT content getting insane views and subscribers? and I'm talking about ones that make incredible content like YOU, because your videos are amazing I love them, and you know what I love TES too, all the games. But GoT is relevant af right now, if you had started a series on that people love lapping those kinds of Lore/Theory/Speculation videos channels such as AltX and Secrets of the Citadel create. They would have come for the GoT and Sub'd for all the other range of awesome content you had. More money for you man..

    Further info: The meteor, which had been hurled at Morrowind by the Daedric prince Sheogorath, was held suspended over the city Vivec. According to Vivec it was kept afloat, momentum unchanged but fixed over the city, and sort of bound there by the inhabitant's of Morrowind's love for Vivec. Its crash, then, may be a result of the people stopping their worship of the tribunal.

      "The stasis of the meteor is powered by your worship of me. You must love me to keep it afloat!"
      translation
      "Worship me or I drop this fucking bomb on you. Don't fuck with me on this."

    I enjoyed this video despite already knowing the content, especially the accompanying artwork. Very nice!
    TES3 remains my favorite of the series, partly due to the deep cultural background and affectations of the Dunmer as well as the dark and disturbing undertones of its main story.
    Dagoth Ur was an interesting antagonist who used both overt and subtle means of manipulation to achieve his ends which I felt added to the depth of his character. He was also in my view quite a tragic personality as well.
    I would certainly be interested in seeing more of your presentations regarding this topic in future as this was quite well done in my view.
    Ah. Having reviewed your playlist I see you have already created additional TES vids. I'll be checking those out to be sure...

      Imo, TESIII was the most fleshed out in terms of culture, religion, history, plot, etc.
      TESI felt like a beta version of TESII.
      TESII was very good, but still lacked the level of detail that TESIII had.
      TESIV was actually pretty good, even though it's my least favorite in the series.
      TESV felt shallow to me compared to the others, especially considering how much they had to work off of at that point. All the material was there, but it could have been developed so much more.

    @moccus3466 5 років тому +1

    Whilst the video is well put together and compact. There is still some small bits of information that you could’ve added such as the tribunals’ names (Vivec, Almelexia and Sotha Sil) also, you failed to mention that the meteor crashed due to the machine made to keep it afloat stop working and that it caused the red mountain to erupt. Furthermore the name ‘dunmer’ doesn’t actually mean dark elf, it means cursed folk in the elven language. Other than that it’s straight forward and simple so a great video.

    Anyone else think that Bethesda screwed over the Dunmer in Skyrim as a middle finger to to either Morrowind fans or Kirkbride? Admittedly the ladder can be a jerk from what I’ve heard.

    • @BigGooba

      The series has definitely lost a lot of its metaphysical, esoteric elements since morrowind, is that cuz they hate kirkbride (I realise I'm replying to a 2 year comment lol)

      There's not really any lore about him/her. Bethesda tends to write off their protagonists (with the exception of the Hero of Kvatch, who's the new Sheogorath).
      If they do establish a concrete lore to him/her, then you'll have to wait until TES 6.
