Dead Space: "Alien zombie babies are pretty scary, huh?"
Animal Crossing: "Hold my night clowns"
Gameranx is the only gaming channel I actually watch daily and somehow they always have fresh interesting content even after years of watching.
The "A friend" letters you get about shouts are from the grey beards right?
@@TarfuLukethat was my immediate thought
But jake bald is garbage
I actually think the "friend" sending you letters in Skyrim is Hermaeus Mora. He's the Daedric prince of knowledge and the only being in the game who could possibly know every time you use your shout. You can use it while out in the middle of nowhere, with no one around (even animals), and then get a letter about it. Add that to the fact that he wants you to become more and more powerful to then take care of his Miraak problem. Definitely Hermaeus Mora.
I think it's one of the greybeards. One that decides doing their job (training the Dragonborn) is more important than their religious beliefs. Regardless if you help the Blades or not. Id like to think its Borri I've always gotten good vibes from him.
@@trankia1224 plus the Greybeards will tell you where a word wall is if you talk to them
@@Potatopatch yes, and they also know when you shout the first time you use unrelenting force. I'd imagine one of them doesn't agree with Arngeir, and is helping the Dragonborn in secret. There is a hole in this theory though, that the greybeards don't speak to anyone outside High Hrothgar. So how does he get the messages out? Maybe he just leaves them in the box where people bring them food? Idk
Only others who've trained with the grey beards would be Ulfric and Balgruf, but I doubt they can sense the DB using shouts or absorbing dragon souls...
Paarthunax is sending the letters, the words are in his language dovah zul, it's been made clear that the Dragonborns thuum can be felt pretty much anywhere by dragons, Paarthunax helps you throughout the story and there is a close relationship between the word walls and the dragons he might even have been around when they were built and even know what they say before he sends you to them he tell one of the greybros where it is they send a letter down the mountain and bewm there you go
Falcon seems to be the nicest guy to be friends with. He seems so sweet and polite, definitely cool to be around!
🤝🦅
He might be a bird but he’s a pretty cool cat😎😂
@@Eyesaiah14 he might be a cool cat, but he's my dawg. 😎
I think we found Falcon's alt account
All jokes aside, cool dude indeed
I heard falcon was moving on, because of all the night clowns...
My dad is still on his quest for cigs and malt liquor
Mine too, I think he took on the side quest of a 2nd family tho
BIG oof
You guys had a dad?
Did he at least bring the milk before he had to go back to the store cause he forgot those 2 things? 😂
That line at the gas station is no joke
I'm gonna assume the missing princess side story is a reference to the real life Anastasia Romanov saga, the Russian princess who some believed escaped execution by the Bolsheviks. There were multiple people who all claimed to be her but later proved to be a hoax. Maybe that's why rockstar decided to leave it unresolved and lead nowhere, since that how it was in real life 🤷
That's what I figured too. We know she didn't escape though, because it's no coincidence that the body of a roughly 13 year old girl was found near the same mass grave as the rest of her family was buried in.
Torture rooms in Bethesda games are a bit of a standard. You can find leather strips and bloody rags in a few places in Skyrim. Im pretty sure theres a version in Oblivion too. Edit. You saw you mentioned it.
As for the letters being a gameplay mechanic to direct you to word walls, there's actually already another one. The Greybeards will just straight up tell you where to look. Seems weird to build two entirely separate ways of doing it.
True... and its not like there is ever just one of them. Like in Skyrim, there is one for every legitimate prison, every cave or cellar with a vampire or cult in it seem to have a corner for it, some of your own bases come with them... and if I am not misremembering, the house you can buy in Winterfell was the scene of a bunch of grizzely murders.
And in Fallout... history repeats since most of the raiders seem to torture people for fun if nothing else, plus you have the regular assortment of mass murdering weirdos to freak everyone else out.
Regarding the Deus Ex one, if I remember it right then there were some hints in Human Revolution that Adam was the result of some kind of experimentation on children, which was also likely the reason why he didn't need medication to prevent his body from rejecting his augmentations. So it might be related to that plot point from the previous game
Yep. In Human Revolution there's a missable side quest were Adam can track down the nurse that had escaped with him.
It's a mystery how Gameranx can produce all these S-tier videos. Kudos guys!
Like, daily. Sheesh
it's called dedication. And I'll be here everyday to watch these videos from beginning to the end
Night clowns on staff.
Bullshit
They're not that great; but they're good.
Great revisit. Control was the definition of unsettling...fun, but still unsettling. Sometimes you had to stop and get back to reality.😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
The most unsettling mystery is how a literal bird consistently puts out such good content
Birds aren’t real dude. It’s all coming together now isn’t it?
I've been watching gameranx for years now and the one thing i absolutely is that how passionate they are about games. Brings me back to the days of G4 tv ❤
Member when it was called techTV and xplay was called exended play?
About the bloodborne one, I always assumed "Paleblood" was just alien-blood, which you got from the umbilical cords.
For number 7, while it's not outright said in game, all the evidence seems to point towards Delphine:
1) Delphine is in hiding, due to her being a part of The Blades, who are actively being hunted by the Thalmor. This would explain why, even after she reveals her allegiance to you, she would continue to still call herself "A Friends" while sending a letter publicly via the courier.
2) If you look at the map, that she has in her Riverwood secret room, pretty much all of the Word Wall locations are marked upon it.
3) When you go to retrieve the horn of Windcaller, which leads directly to the Delphine revelation, there is a note that's signed by "A Friend"
4) If you actually go to the Barrows AFTER talking to Whiterun's Farengar (the court mage), you actually can see a unique scene with a disguised Delphine talking to Farengar about studies on dragons.
5) Continuing from #4, Farengar promises to pass any info along to her, implying that Delphine actually has some political influence, which would allow her to hear when there came news of a dragonborn. or when/where they shouted.
I've heard it could be hermaeus mora. Since he does know almost every secret of the universe, and he's the only person who could be constantly watching you. He's probably helping you in order to convince you into becoming his servant(he tells you this by directly confronting you in both the dragonborn and the dawngaurd dlc questlines). I honestly have no clue though. Maybe we will find out one day.
I've always assumed that the Word Wall letters came from the Greybeards on the Throat Of The World as you can hear them shout when they summon you to them so surely they would also hear you shout and also know the locations of the Word Walls
@@Turkeynaut I also heard it could be Hermaeus Mora, specifically I think I heard it from either EpicNate or Camelworks, but - in my opinion - Hermaeus Mora is probably the least likely of the 3 that were listed as contenders.
For one, all the times we've seen Hermaeus Mora contact the Dragonborn in Skyrim, he's appeared directly to the Dragonborn, rather than doing such a round about way of sending letters to them.
For another, sending letters and being friendly in order to trick said person in order to gain something seems more in line with Clavicus Vile or Boethia. Hermaeus Mora doesn't seem like the type to do that, but rather just take advantage of the situation that they are given.
Yet another, while Hermaeus Mora IS capable of contacting people and speaking in a way that they understand, the texts that they seem to write, the black books, or at least the tomes that are made available to read in Hermaeus Mora's realm, don't seem to be actually capable of being actually read or understood via normal means. This MIGHT pose a problem to them penning a letter that not only the Dragonborn has to read, but also a poor (possibly trans-dimensional and omnipotent) messenger has to read and deliver.
...but, I gotta say, I do have a chuckle at the image of Hermaeus Mora penning a letter with his tendrils. Do you think he uses his own ink?
@@glasgowgaydude The biggest problem I have with the Greybeards being the ones who penned the letters is that they have no actual reason to keep their identities secret, at least enough to just identify themselves as just "a friend" both before AND after introducing themselves to you. While they keep themselves isolated from people, they don't keep themselves actually hidden from them. People know about them, where as the Blades have been presumed to have been eradicated - giving a reason for a need for an anonymous approach both before and after an introduction is made.
Also, while there IS a Greybeard who does teach you locations for word walls, while the Blades strangely do not (unless you count the letters themselves), it is only AFTER you ally yourselves with the Greybeards over the Blades. Plus, while they seem fairly eager to teach those with the Thu'um, Ulfric Stormcloak being a student of theirs for a time, they seem to be very selective as to who they will actually teach and for what reason, again Ulfric Stormcloak USED to be a student of theirs. So I do not see them being ones to pen letters, especially to Thu'um users, before they even know the user's intentions.
@@Elysium_the_Bard Mora didn't write any of the texts in his realm. The Black Books are actual tomes of forbidden knowledge that Mora has collected, and gives out as a means to entice those with knoweldge he doesn't have (or that he needs for more utilitarian purposes) into Apocrypha.
Although I do agree that I doubt it'd be Mora.
Wonder if the night clown easter egg was a reference to the time there was a weird clown epidemic in America where people dressed up as clowns at night and scared/stalked strangers?
Falcon's knowledge for deep-cut entries for these lists is just amazing.
I wish i had a ps5 or a ps4 to play the great games they review
It's called Wikipedia.
The scripts for the videos aren’t just straight from his head lol
This is just reminding me how I love when design studios like Bethesda, Obsidian, and Rockstar hide little things in their games that tell a small story, but don't have overall explanations.
Makes me more excited to see what will be found in Starfield, Avowed, and GTA 6.
bethesda definitely dropped the ball in that department on starfield
The birthmark on the Princess's face ties her into Epsilon Program lore. It is the sign of Kraff and can also be seen on Francis Sinclair.
Kifflom!
I guess the friend sending letters in Skyrim are the blades, namely Delphine because the only other way to get shout locations is to ask the Grey Beards so it makes sense that the blades also do this and given their secretive nature it makes sense that Delphine sends anonymous letters to the Dragonborn. After all that is literally how she informs you that she stole the horn at the start of the game. Another reason why I think it's delphine is because she knew what was in bleak falls barrow, she knew how to find the dragon stone so it isn't a stretch to think she also knows about other locations related to Dragons. When you meet her later in Riverwood she also mentions that she was keeping an eye on the Dragonborn.
For the RDR2 thing, I know that 100$ back then was a lot of money, but it still somehow feels cheap considering the person they’re asking you to find is a literal Princess.
If it was a prince the reward would have been higher
another implication that determines Adam Jensen was cloned is the fact that the Adam you play as has no recollection of the events after the first game. He knows he was in alaska but he doesnt remember what he was doing there or how. And also the fact that he has newer augs which could be argued that he found after the explosion, but how many times has Adam been exposed to explosions before and never found the secret augs?
In Deus Ex (the original game) we learn that JC, Paul, and Alex (invisible War) are actually clones of an idealised human template, in Human Revolution we learn that Adam Jensen has a unique genetic mutation that means his body doesn't reject cybernetic implants. They also look very similar.
10:16 While it is tied in with the quest, you can get some information about the torture room from one of the beggars who say it's for Argonians who illegally cross into Cyrodiil I believe? A shame you can't confront her about it and have her replaced or something.
The biggest video game mystery is in Fable. You do a mission for bandits and at the end a woman thanks you and says, “The blue nymph stands at a quarter past three.” I’m pretty sure nobody has ever figured out what she was talking about.
This is already solved. She was talking about the fishwoman in the lake of azgul and if you stand there at Quarter past three you will receive the sword of allah
The Pokémon X&Y one isn’t the creepiest thing. The weird lady in Lumiosse who comes behind you and says something like “no, you’re not the one” and disappears
Often refered to as the ghost girl.
Falcon killed this one. I always laugh when he accidentally makes himself laugh.
One weird mystery in the game *Control* is the mirror mission. It gives you weird audio logs. But if you play them backwards. It gives cool backround info.
For Deus Ex- Mankind Divided. The story as it is told kind of points that the character you play as is not the real Jensen. Sarif tells you that your Aug's have serial numbers attached to them, and so when you find that your current Aug's do not have them, (or they were never found) it points that Jensen has something else going on.
Also the stuff for the Juggernaut collective seems to point that you are not the same Jensen you were in the past.
Lastly in the TF29 many dialogues you are said to be a bit a different a couple of times, and Chang even admits that he thinks you are a mole (which you are), but he is still willing to trust you.
You can also find an Adam in the Versalife vault
There is also the serial killer’s shed in the woods in Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Near the small house overlooking main Unidad base in Flor de Oro there is a small shed. If you look past the racks, you can see a camera pointed at a dirty mattress with a teddy bear in back. Behind the shed there are several unmarked graves and large garbage bags.
For the Skyrim "a friend" after finishing it and replaying I wasn't satisfied with the idea of Delphine knowing enough and being able to know all of these dark locations.
The best solution I could come up with was Pathurnax. He wants to be a friend and wants Alduin defeated. He has lived long enough and has enough knowledge to know where all the locations would be without necessary being able/needing to go there himself. The Blades would have gained so much by making expeditions to those places but they almost never do?
So yeah, Pathurnax has one of the Greybeards write and send the letter to where HE knows where the Dragonborn is going. He has enough power to probably follow the dragonborn (spy) from afar the moment the first shout is heard ^^
No Parthurnax is a recluse on the top of the mountain and definitely wouldn't know when you killed someone...it's most likely a group of people secretly watching the dragonborn from the shadows with secret knowledge
That's also probably the most reasonable "the Greybeards" explanation, as Partysnax cares a lot more about the Dragonborn's success than the other Greybeards. He's almost certainly the one most willing to deviate from the Way of the Voice's whole "don't give the Thu'um to people who will use it for battle" thing.
Although he wouldn't be following the Dragonborn, he never leaves the Throat of the World, it's basically self-imposed solitary confinement for him.
Even worse than the concept of a Night Clown is the implication that there are a lot of them.
I love your charm both of you. When i am driving around running my Landscaping business i am listening and relistening to epsiodes. The nostalgia just through your on point descriptions and nuances from our Renting from block buster days to the privileged world we have of over abundance of more! More! MORE! I will keep listening until i am considered too old to game and listen some more why because i can thats why.
Thank you oh so much
🤝thanks for the kind words
With reference to the 'letter from a friend' in Skyrim, Geralt in the Witcher books and games receive letters from Yennefer with her signing of as 'a friend'. Could be an oblique reference to that.
Always thought the greybeards were sending the letters about word walls
my guy witcher and elder scrolls have nothing to do with each other
gameranx never fails to put out good content. thx.
Whatever my day may have been like, it's always nice to have a new fun lighthearted Gameranx video to watch in the evening ❤ thanks for all that you do, guys!
Been years and still there is alot to find in rdr2
Skyrim too
Only had RDR2 about a month and was well chuffed when I found the meteorite house!
Fallout 4 Waystation - Pretty sure it's related to the Railroad. It was recently compromised and the institute trying to torture information out of members isn't really shocking. I don't know if it's confirmed in-game, but that's almost certainly what this is. The internet largely seems to agree with my guess as well. It would be nice if it was confirmed, one way or another.
I love the very frequent uploads lately
🤝
For Pokemon XY I would have used, "No, you're not the one" as an unsettling mystery
I'm pretty sure the mankind divided is indeed supposed to imply that either you or the frozen body is a clone. There's a plot point in the game (SPOILERS) in which you find out that after Human Revolution, in which the canon ending is blowing up Pangaea, you are 'rescued' by someone, presumably Versalife. You are then, at some point in time, fitted with experimental tech that I *assume* it supposed to be a precursor of the nanotech in the original deus ex.
I love the Deus Ex Mankind Divided one. It is speculated that it is heavily implied that the PC is just a clone of Adam who died in the ending of DXHR. That's why he has new experimental mods that even his old boss doesn't know who installed. Here's to hoping it will be confirmed in the sequel. If there ever will be. *sigh*
Adam isn't dead he's in the Versalife vault
@@Atomsk0192 That wasn't a corpse yet? Huh. Still. It's a cool mystery that I hope they'll tackle in the next game.
While we are on the subject of Unsettling mysteries in Pokemon X/Y; There's a lonely old man who you lend your Pokemon to that has recently lost his wife. There's also a ghost in the elevator of one of the skyscrapers that floats around you and says "No, You're not the one". This is a fan theory but I think that may be the young ghost of the old man's wife. But again that is an unsolved mystery.
the night clowns theory just makes me think of the stupid clown sightings in the real world. stupid people carrying knives, and weapons while, dressed in clown costumes. I always thought of it like that personally speaking.
Probably a huge stretch but in the manga City Hunter people seeking help from the City Hunter have to write on the board of the train station the letters "XYZ". Either the City Hunter will find them or the Hunter's partner will and they can set up a time and place of meeting. It's possible it's a reference of the partner telling the person to stay in the place of the meeting where the person will be save while the partner looks for the City Hunter.
It's fitting since it's Pokemon X and Y and the rumored Z would've probably resolved the mystery.
I feel like Jensen should have been #1 because that one feels monumental to the story for the sequel which we will never have because there will be no 3rd game.
I love to listen to Falcon talking about games, it relaxes me.
I think the prevailing theory on the Skyrim mystery is that it's the Hero of Oblivion, who later ascended to Daedric-level power.
For BO3, I believe the story is that Corpus is using your dying mind to replay Taylor's story, which created it. It replays Taylor's memories to figure out why it was created and what it was meant to do, whether its right or wrong, etc. AI existential crisis essentially, but your character got a DNI which means you got connected to the AI's mental breakdown and are forced to play it out in your dying moments
I think Adam Jensen is actually a clone because in the game is revealed that all of his augmentations have a different serial number and are actually new, like someone would replace them for the exact same copy. And these new augmentations have new experimental abilities that originals could not possess.
"A friend" in Skyrim is the adoring fan. He follows you around from the shadows.
Amazing video bro!! Cool
“Nocturnal bozos” absolutely made me guffaw. Thank you, Falcon.
Paleblood, sounds like the developers hinting at the umbilical cords, tbh. Umbilical cord blood is something that you can donate after having a newborn irl. And maybe paleblood just is a way to refer to a newborn blood? I've never played bloodborne, but the fact that umbilical cords are used to get the true ending could relate to seeking the paleblood.
bruh where the fuck did u come up with that? how did u link those 2 things together in your mind?
The Nightmares mode in BO3 is one of the most underrated modes in all of COD. Thanks for reminding me, Falcon, I’m about to download that again.
I actually figured out the Skyrim shouts ones! After a point, if you go back to High Hrothgar and speak to the Greybeard leader (I forget how to spell his name), asking him about these mysterious letters, he will admit to being the sender! And from that point on, the word wall letters WILL be from him! The courier will still say he's not sure who from, just said he was a friend, but yeah.
And that brings the question of why the courier is just visiting High Hrothgar so often....
Gameranx putting in the good work as always 👍🏻
👍🏼
I still think the supposed cannibal maid from the game Genshin Impact should be on one of these lists. Despite the game looking nice and friendly it has tons of lore involving dark pasts like human sacrifices, demon summoning and such. One of these that hasn't been solved is the head maid at the Dawn Winery location that if you listen to the other maids conversation talk about footsteps when no one's around, a hidden room, and guests coming in but not being seen coming out and it all somehow being connected to the head maid of the building. When you talk to her about a specific topic she will mention the meat they serve and how it's "normal" while chuckling to herself.
I think it's supposed to imply that Adelinde makes people "disappear" for Diluc and his secret organization. Both his enemies' bodies and his friends who's covers are blown and need to "disappear" for a while. There's no way she could get away with murder right under the nose of Mondstadt's greatest detective, Diluc. But she likes to keep up the urban legend of her being a cannibal serial killer as a cover for her nocturnal activities because it just sounds so ridiculous and implausible and it throws people off Diluc's trail. She's basically the Alfred to Diluc's Batman.
The Motel is really creepy from Control. You don’t fight anyone or meet anyone, but the sounds from the outside and the general vibe of the place is really unsettling.
The Mankind Divided one blew my mind when I found it. I really hope Eidos finally follows up with a 3rd game to resolve it, instead of a full DE reboot.
Seemingly there's apparently a Deus Ex... Co-Op game in development right now, no idea if it's a will continue Jensen's story though!
The Skyrim letters spell it out in-game, and have common sense gameplay reasons, there's no mystery unless you intentionally misinterpret.
The letters say that "Not everyone is anxious for the Dragonborn's return" because you're literally a god-given ruler who is going around picking factions to support. Random civilians hear your shouts & work to help you, but each stay anonymous to protect themselves, signing "A friend" (a common pseudonym btw) to make it clear they're on your side. Gameplay wise, it's a Radiant AI quest with a chance to pop every time you shout in public, & they don't want to break immersion by naming a character who couldn't be there.
As for the locations, they say "I understand the Dragonborn can unlock the power here" because they're sharing urban legends and myths. It'd be the same as saying "I hear you can rule England if you pull the sword from this stone." You've never been there or seen anyone do it, but we all know the story & could share it with a hero of legend. Just maybe don't sign your name in case the current contenders disagree.
I KNEW IT! Adam in DExMK is a clone, there's a conversation with Sariff that left a mystery, and they never adressed it, there was so many hints, it explains so much! 😂
About BO3... you play as Taylor's fragmented mind trying to come to terms with dying, also the right mission order goes from last to first. It's exceptionally convoluted but the story is very interesting.
The torture room from Fallout 4 might be tied to the android quest in Fallout 3, since the android came from the location that Fallout 4 takes place in. It's likely the dude was tortured for information on the location of the missing android. Just an idea. Never got to play Fallout 4, but I've played the absolute crap out of Fallout 3.
"Singlehandedly better than any SNL skit for at least 4 years." Based Falcon
Cheers from the biggest Gameranx fan from Brazil
🇧🇷
Here's hoping for a torture room in Starfield with... laser stuff? 🤔🤣
Liking specifically for mentioning the night clowns.
Hats off to you folks for consistently produce, upload and deliver amazing contents by coming up with something new on daily basis. This is why Gameranx is the GOAT.😎👍🏼👍🏼👑
I love your stuff - always entertaining! Thanks for the laughs... Also, "funnier than the last four years of SNL" - KILLED me, lol.
This is the kind of uploads I wait for!
🤝
red dead 2 makes it on to so many lists honestly , such a good game
👆🏻
The night clowns gotta be a reference to the people that were running around. Scaring people at night
I always assumed the “friend” in Skyrim after shouting were the Greybeards.
It is
I just assumed it was from the spirits in Sovngarde, if not Talos himself. The Greybeards are just too isolated to be sending any *letters,* while the dead of Sovngarde have a vested interest in making sure you're as powerful as possible.
@@KorilD Since a lot about the courier is supernatural I don't think the location of the Greybeards means much.
@@wesleybaldwin1999it's not. they specifically say they wont help you learn any more thu'um after the few they teach you, because you use the thu'um for violence.
Just watched this before going to sleep. You've messed my head up with night clowns! 😂
Treyarch always adds a twist to their campaigns, take literally every black ops. Most recently Cold War. They make your character believe that they're part of the JOP as an American, but you're really just working for the enemy and they're trying to get you to explain everything, you discover this like towards the end, but it might be confusing the first run
I assume the Graybeards on High Hrothgar were sending you letters to dragon walls in Skyrim. They hear your first shout and call to you from their mountaintop.
Kind of fun coming back to #6 post Alan Wake 2 launch. The spiral is an absolute reference to AW given that plotline, and then the others are part of the upcoming games Control 2 and that Vanguard multiplayer game they've talked about. And then with Reddick's unfortunate passing, we got Warlin Door instead of Hatch, but it's supposed to be the same character.
I think the word wall letter's are signed 'A Friend' to add a layer of protection for Esbern. He's a blade, and while the Courier is a god, he can still be held up by the Thalmor.
In regards to the first entry on this list. I've heard speculation that the quest involving the missing Princess was cut because another company thought that her likeness was too close to a popular female protagonist and that they shared a voice actress. For contractual reasons they removed basically all of the quest except the remnants of what we see, and it was too late in the development cycle to change models/ voice actors/ retool the story.
Not that modeling is super easy but changing the model of this one character should have been. Tweak the nose, raise a brow, etc.
Even then wouldn't something like that be caught after the fact?
Also the model doesn't really look unique enough to scrap all that work over just the face. As in I don't know what this popular female protagonist she looks like.
that Mankind Divided Jensen thing, I have an idea, he is about 90% augmentations, and VersaLife, I think is the one behind it all, so maybe that's all it is, his augs (as they call them in the game) on a model of him. It's not really him per-se but a realistic mannequin that looks like him. plus remember his buddy had to get the same augs to repair and replace now and again somehow so why not from the manufacturer itself? and as we learned in the game, he was an experimental candidate for some high grade ones. And his friend was always kind of sketchy as to where he got them, the mob could have gotten them directly from the place itself, they seem to all be connected.
The night clown jokes this guy made was the funniest commentary I’ve heard in a while 😂
The paleblood thing in Bloodborne makes more sense when looked at slightly differently. Not as an item or thing to find, but as something to attain. Like "seeking fame" doesn't mean you find a famous person, it means you strive to be famous.
Paleblood is just celestial god blood. The doll has it, because Gehrman knows what the dream is, but Willem also has it and he's literally growing alien bits, with his brain maybe kinda actually having "ascended".
Reason you need paleblood to "transcend" the hunt is that the hunt is implied to simply go on and repeat constantly. And since it's caused by humans who invited celestial beings into their mids, the only thing that can disrupt the dreams and the blood-drunkenness and the change and the sickness, is a god itself.
Which you do become at the end, when you eat the three cords and break the dream all hunters embark from. Essentially could rephrase it as: "Stop the endless hunt by becoming god".
The Skyrim letters are from Sheogorath, the Hero of Kvatch. No idea but that has always been my head cannon.
It's so fun learning something new everytime, thanks Falcon!
Glad you enjoy it!
Glad you enjoy it!
i always assumed the letters to the dragonborn about the word walls were from esburn since he clearly has many connections even people within the thieves guild.
About the "Fallout 4" torture room being out of place; Uh, not quite. Raiders are notorious for being into torturing people. If you eavesdrop on regular Raider enemies, they'll talk about people they've tortured, for example commenting on how the previous victim died too soon.
The Raider faction known as the Disciples from the "Nuka World" DLC are also very obvious when it comes to their enjoyment of torturing people. A brief visit to their hideout makes this abundantly clear.
Oh geeze I laughed a little too hard at Falcon Doom Guy. LMAO
On a binge of the channel, and somehow they're all Falcon's videos.
Love the more personal choices in there, takes guts in todays days and age.
Lists are always opinions anyways, but so few channel embrace the fact.
Regarding "Control", the motel doesn't always transport you to a different location within the Oldest House. Just off the top of my head I can think of three instances where motel traversal results in physical changes within the area in which you gained access to the motel. For example, when trying to gain access to the Hotline, traversing the motel will make a bridge appear, allowing you to cross over to where the telephone is kept.
The Clan Quest Mod of Vampire the Masquerade had a super creepy mannequin room and the base game's Ocean House Hotel was terrifying too and with no actual enemies to fight lol
when you get to the ending of control and you think you beat the game but you actually didn't and jesse has a dream that she is an assistant instead of the director and when the credits roll they aren't real credits
I think the night clowns are supposed to be a reference to the real-life event back in 2016, when a bunch of clowns started to roam the U.S., Canada, Britain, Australia and other countries at night, who supposedly attacked kids or adults, so much so that a lot of people got arrested for it, and some got arrested for just pretending to be it, it gotten so bad that it led to a clown costume ban and withdrawal. It was a crazy year
I assumed this just happened in the US. It's interesting to hear this apparently also happened in other countries.
That SNL mention killed me 🤣
I was JUST looking up the RDR2 princess story the other day looking for an update. So glad to see this covered!
Gameranx is one of those channels where i just have their videos go on infinite repeats while i do mindless grind on diablo. Just because i like listening to falcon go on about whatever he wants
Man these vids are always so entertaining and fun to watch, keep it up I’m loving it
Glad you enjoy it!
Paleblood is Vampirism. Transcending the hunt means to hunt forever, like the Vilebloods do. It is a cross between a beast and a vampire, thus the blood runs pale, almost like snow. It is very similar to the ashen disease, which turns victims to beasts. The note about seeking it came from the church, Alfred is one, and they want you to seek the palebloods, to eradicate them, and transcend the hunt... That or become one and hunt forever. Your choice.
I've stopped trying to think about who the "friend" is in Skyrim. My last character got a letter from his first shout, at Western Watchtower, after you bring down your first dragon. "oh!" You say. "the friend must be someone who was there for that! Maybe Irileth, or a guard?" No. Because I fast travelled from Western Watchtower to Whiterun, elapsed time maybe five minutes, and the messenger approached me IMMEDIATELY. Nobody who was there in the flesh, would've had time to write the note, hire a messenger and have him deliver it, and if they did, it's way less trouble to just tell me where the damn word was. It's an Aedra/Daedra, that's really the only way it makes sense. Not to mention, half the time you're five miles underground when you use a shout that somehow, your friend knows about. I'm wondering if "a friend" might be an anagram for one of the (D)Aedra, that would make a bit of sense.
its left ambiguous on purpose. no one can really say for sure who it is.
Skyrim Courier Wordwall Letters - I had thought that Hermaeus Mora was responsible for these letters. It's in his wheelhouse to know these sorts of ancient secret locations and, given his attention towards the Dragonborn in the DLC, seemed like a better explanation than most others.
Now I have to go play all these games again. Thanks, gameranx.
