Dagoth Ur Breaks Down Skyrim Faction Antagonists
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лип 2024
- Dagoth Ur broke down multiple Skyrim factions, and the Primary antagonists of each faction, but this time he breaks down the antagonists of each faction. Kodlak Whitemane's Wolf Spirit from the Companions, Krev the Skinner from the Silverhand, Ancano from the College of Winterhold, Isran from the Dawnguard, Harkon from the Voikhar Clan, Ulfric and General Tulius, as well as Astrid and Commander Maro from Skyrim are unable to avoid Dagoth Ur's opinion on them. He is harsh and critical as he does not seem to think Skyrim factions honor the Sixth House and the Tribe Unmourned.
Chapters:
Intro 0:00-0:32
Companions: 0:32-1:36
College of Winterhold: 1:37-2:14

Mercer Frey is, in my opinion, the single best antagonist in the game. He doesn't need any deep motivation, he is just a horrible person, but one who is able to outsmart and out maneuver an entire guild of master thieves without any of them noticing, and only failed because of a fluke that the dragonborn survived.
And he isn't in it for absolute power or immortality or the destruction of the world. His goals are small enough that he doesn't get blinded by them like so many of the other antagonists.
@@HappyBeezerStudios The main thing is that he isn't some major supernatural threat, he's just an incredibly skilled and intelligent thief with a lot of patience. While he clearly has some inhuman capabilities, it is nowhere near the same degree as Harkon or Miraak or even Ancano, he just relies on his intelligence, and was clearly aware of the Dragonborn's every move, given that he vanishes after the Markarth-Side Quest and toys with the Nightingales when you try to hunt him down in Irkngthand.
Mercer Frey took the mindset of the thief to heart. No honor, just profit and ambition!
@@MrBrimbles Also, his fight is one of the most interesting ones in the game. He is the only character in Skyrim to fight dirty, he goes invisible, sneak attacks you, hides behind obstacles, is one of three bosses to uses draining weapons, is one of two that teleport. His fight is a representation of him, dishonest and underhanded.
@@smackstar1015 sounds a lot like the Dragonborn lol
I recall the time an Argonian farm tool used necromancy to reanimate a fish as his thrall. It didn’t present much of a threat on land it must be said
When was this?
@@ZakeandZach down by the Riften fisheries, I believe the Argonians may have been using the fish for an organised fish-fighting operation
@@buckokid5930 Because of course the farm tools try to recreate their miserable lives in the swamps by creating a dank den of undead animal fight pits.
@@buckokid5930Wtf?
I love two things about Dagoth Ur in this video:
1) He has that Doofenshmirtz vs Perry the Platypus dynamic, where he recognizes you as the enemy, but also has this strange urge to impress you and get validation from you. He’ll never admit this, of course, and will always act like the superior, but I think he also just wants his Nerevarine friend Lol
2) His attitude toward every antagonist other than himself is hilarious. He treats them all with the, “Of course, my Nerevar, I am better than all these mongrel god-pretenders by default,” sort of attitude.
Loved every second of this video!
I hereby honor the sixth house and the tribe unmourned by writing Petulant Oculatus lord Dagoth
By the Tribunal, I just looked it up. Grandpa max and Galmar Stonefist have the same Voice actor. I am in awe of the beautiful world Vivec has graced us with.
Glad you caught it
Paul Eiding, he also voices Colonel Campbell from Metal Gear.
I like how that extra thalmor that attacks you after you kill Morokei was so forgettable and insignificant that even Dagoth Ur, the Sharmat, leader of the 6th House and Tribe Unmourned, forgot to touch on him
Because if you backtrack out of the cave you can even skip his whole encounter
@@keifujitora6587 Not sure, why would you do that. Not only it takes more time, but also you don't get a free robe that you can sell or disenchant.
@@pelinalwhitestrake3367To commit to the bit, which honors the 6th house and the tribe unmourned
@@cinnabunz1532 Why would I honour the 6th house, filled with _elves?_
@@pelinalwhitestrake3367 What intoxicating innocence. I pity you, mortal n'wah.
1. Mercer really was the best antagonist in the game. Mainly cause of how simple and hateable he was. He saw all the ceremony and honor of the the Nightingales and said: "Screw that."
Killed his best friend, framed his lover, stole from the Guild for years to fund his lavish lifestyle, used the Skeleton Key in secret to make sure he never got caught and then tried to kill you and Karliah to cover his tracks. He's a complete bastard who was *immensely satisfying* to defeat.
2. To be fair, as far as choosing the Empire over the Stormcloaks is concerned, its made blatantly apparent in the main story that the Thalmor are the real overarching antagonists of the Civil War storyline.
Not only did they *let* Ulfric escape before the events of the game, but its all but stated that they've actively been sabotaging the Empire and prolonging the Civil War to weaken it, while the Aldmeri Dominion licks its wounds from the Great War.
Hell, the Stormcloaks winning is just about the worst outcome in the long run.
Sure, Skyrim will win its independance for a decade or two. But what then?
By that time the Aldmeri Dominion will have recovered, crushed the still weakened Empire and then both Skyrim and Hammerfell will be at the top of their list of targets.
Tullius might be an insufferable N'wah, but he's not wrong in thinking that only a united Empire can push them back.
lets not forget that an aldmeri victory may also mean the end of the world itself, in that context compromising with the mongrel dogs of the empire to preserve the existence of the dunmer may be the only option.
The thing is, Skyrim can be defended with half a brain that Ulfric has.
Not to mention, realistically the moot should vote for the dragonborn, why?
The dragonborn has led almost every major battle of the war. The troops would be loyal all the same, and it cuts Ulfric down to a position he can't really rebel when his loyal troops would probably readily accept the dragonborn.
Plus, the ways into Skyrim are terrible. Mountainous everywhere, one road from Cryodiil?
Warfare with sword and shield was very different, they'd merely have to avalanche in the roads in, destroy the Thalmor's support wagons, and watch them starve in the cold snow.
I think defending Skyrim from the Thalmor wouldn’t be as hard as you’re making it out to be. As other comments have stated it’s in a very defensible position surrounded by mountains. Plus we’ve seen that it can be done through the example of the Redguards in Hammerfell. However, the loss of Skyrim will most likely result in the Empire being too weak to resist the Thalmor. The massive loss of Nord recruits and supplies from Skyrim would severely weaken the Legion if it came to a second Great War.
Ulfric or the Dragonborn should lead the Empire
@@GenBrony you're assuming the Aldmeri Dominion would opt for standard warfare. They're a race of Elves talented in magic.
An asset the Nords under Ulfric would scorn as the tactic of "milk drinkers"
Plus, its not a question if Skyrim could be defended but for *how long?*
Skyrim *greatly* relied on the economy and trade the Empire brought in and if they're cut off, Skyrim as a whole could very well face an economic collapse that would take *years* to solve.
All the Aldmeri Dominoon would have to do is either:
A) Turn the impoverished mob *against* Ulfric and the Jarls that support him with the numerous spies they have.
B) Just wait it out. The High Elves can live *hundreds* of years. Just wait until Ulfric and many of his supporters die of old age and watch as the younger, more gullible and ambitious Jarls and/or High King replace them and pledge their loyalty to improve their own positions.
Both Dawnguard and Dragonborn had vastly better plots and antagonists than the vanilla game. I have heard it said about Michael Kirkbride was difficult to work with, but the elder scrolls desperately need him.
Dawnguard was awful as you couldn't kill Serena like the dirty blood sucker she is and dragonborn was just explore weebs wet dream land and fight discount dagoth
@@lukemorgan6166 Okay what about the Dragonborn DLC then? The Morrowind nostalgia hit alone makes it worth playing, they just so happen to throw in a Lovecraftian story into the plot on top of that
No, It doens't. Kirkbride has his merits for what he's done for Elder Scrolls, but he goes too far. The stuff he wrote after leaving Bethesda like C0DA are proof of that.
like story wise dragoborn is p alright and dawnguard doesnt really have a story besides generic vampires VS vampire hunters with interesting shit like the snow elves and the soul carin. if bethesda just made Kirkbride a main writer/designer he could single handedly save tes from becoming generic fantasy drivel you have to dig through to get to the interesting shit. literally look at oblivion and skyrim and compare them to morrowind or even redguard. and see how long till you find something that tells you "yea this is def the elder scrolls and not lotr: the rpg"
I once saw an khajiit necromancer. He was an alfiq, house cat sized necromancer who lives under the colovian fur helm of his zombie, and tries to pass off off as a normal person
I really hope this is a legitimate line for Maiq in ES6
I played this game several times and I can tell you this. Dagoth hits the mark on every one of them. What do you expect from the true god?
The Petulant Occulatus huh? Not a bad dig, well done Dagtoh.
Petulent occulatus, such a wise insult to the dogs of the empire. Truly your wisdom is boundless lord dagoth i truly am blessed to be part of the 6th house and the tribe unmourned.
Renounce your false gods while you still can, mortal. Sithis is waiting..
hail lord dagoth
All hail!
Hail Lord Dagoth!
Alredy commented, but I nust realised how ironic Astrid's downfall is. She spends the entire questline admonishing the Dark Brotherhood of old. How their tradition and inability to change lead them to the sorry state they are in now.
But as the story progresses we see that Astrid herself has also become comftorable in her complacency ,to the point that she *fears* change. To the point that she fears *you!*
Leading to her drastic actions and ,poetically, her very nearly *fully* destroying the Brotherhood with the same flaw she criticised.
My biggest issue with the Companions quest is that the Silver Hand are just glorified bandits with Silver weapons.
In my opinion, the Vigilants of Stendar should’ve been the antagonists for the Companions. At least their “faction” had motivation for elimination of werewolves, since they’re technically Daedric thanks to Hircine.
Additionally, you could’ve had the options of joining the Vigilants after finding out that the Companions were werewolves, and fighting on their side to eliminate them from Whiterun.
The most ironic part about the Thieves Guild questline in Skyrim is that the Grey Fox originally found the Thieves Guild and built it's entire foundation upon the Grey Cowl that was originally stolen from Nocturnal herself. He never actually worshiped the Daedra himself. The whole Nightingale thing in Skyrim with worshiping Nocturnal contradicts what originally happened in the Thieves Guild questline in Oblivion.
So with that in mind, you can't really blame why Mercer Frey decided to betray the guild. The Thieves Guild in Oblivion was all about the Robinhood-like philosophy of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. The Thieves Guild in Skyrim is a mafia-like organized crime syndicate who has no problem taking bribes to keep people like Maven Black-Briar in power in the city in Riften meanwhile the Jarl is completely irrelevant.
There's good evidence to support this like that one mission where you break into Mercer's house in Riften where you can find Chillrend (a weapon that's also in Oblivion) and a stone bust of the Grey Fox himself. So with this in mind, you can say that Mercer was a big admirer of the Grey Fox and was only following in his footsteps.
Then the irony gets even worse after you kill Mercer and retrieve the Skeleton key off his corpse. Im sure that 99% of players never actually complete the questline because the trade-off for turning in the skeleton key isn't nearly as good as the key itself. Nocturnal must suck as a god if her artifacts create a massive loophole that she can't even control herself.
I always return the Skeleton Key. First, because I want to complete the Quest regardless of the price. Second, because I like being invisible. Third, because screwing around with a Daedra after you've pledged your soul to him is a problem.
And actually, I like this Thieves' Guild better than this one from Oblivion. Robin Hood? This is false, it does not exist. Thieves want their own good, so because of that I prefer those more selfish style of Skyrim. Furthermore, it is the perfect Guild for a Daedra revered Bosmer Vampire to lead. Oh, that was a great gameplay that one.
@@JudasRose The Nigthgale armor is already good enough, I think it's unnecessary to go after the guildmaster armor. But yeah, it's really cool how much more complete the guild's questline is, that's why it's my favorite faction in Skyrim. The guild and the Brotherhood are the only ones you can do without the need for some mods to level it up.
@@DonMadruga72 The Guild and Brotherhood questlines in Skyrim are alright in just vanilla but the Brotherhood questline in Oblivion is truly the GOAT.
@@jo-cleetushazelscreetch1301 Yes, I hear that a lot. I've played Oblivion but I didn't get to do this questline. Oblivion is cool, but it didn't hook me as much as Skyrim did. One day later I'll try again.
@@DonMadruga72 "i want to be scary and evil so if its not that its stupid"
Lord Dagoth, I'm curious to know your thoughts on Skyrim's Ghosts of the Tribunal antagonist, Erden Relvel. He was a priest who wished to continue spreading your influence even after your defeat and the fall of the Tribunal. He was able to create his own ash zombies and even wore a cursed mask created in your image.
I shall forever call them the Petulant Oculatus in honour of the sixth house and the tribe unmourned.
Why are these videos so good? The Sharmat is on fire!
Pentulent Occulatus, what a grand and intoxicating way to honor the sixth house and the tribe unmourned
Thieves guild: No option to kill them or hire them to steal for an honorable cause and not align themselves with the likes of Maven Black-Briar.
Dark Brotherhood: I loved killing them.
Thank you for keeping this grand intoxicating meme format alive
Working on more things
Petulant Occulatus is a sick burn, honor to the Sixth House and the Tribe unmourned.
Next Skyrim character concept. Argonian necromancer, thank you Lord Dagoth!👍
You are welcome!
Why would a farm tool need more farm tools?
@@Gultist We call that a tractor in Solstheim.
On the companions: I wish they would have let you continue with the quest line without giving in to the curse of lycanthropy. They did not think of those that wish to role play as the end all be all good guy extraordinaire. See also Molag Bal's, Maphala's and Boethia's quests. No good guy option to stick it to them.
What a grand and intoxicating video lord da’goth
Dark Brotherhood has up to THREE antagonists. The 3rd one being us, the Dragonborn should we decide to go down that route.
Good point
6:06 Yes actually, numerous times. The Veeksheel, also known as the Ghost People. An entire tribe who practices necromancy. Also have the dro M’athra in regards to Khajiit.
There are two argonian necromancers in ESO, and basically all the cats of the New Moon Cult are (sort of) necromancers
Correction: 3 argonian necromancers
Still waiting on Lord Dagoth to give us his opinions on the Creation Club weapons. I mean, of course we all now that they are mostly terrible, but hearing his godly jokes and insults about them is very entertaining. I'm especially interested on his thoughts about Stendars Warhammer.
The weapons in saints & seducers are pretty alright
Chrysamere is pretty good
Hence why I said "mostly", there are some that are nice, some that are more niche, but most are just wall hangers.
God i fucking love this series
Thank you!
More often than not, I take out Olaf out without joining the Bards. It was only after wondering what the deal with the book was that I found out it was tied to them. Hell, I don't think you can even take on Krev without joining the Companions. That's how uninterested I am with them. Hell, I don't even return the instruments.
So much potential and all of it wasted hell the only reason why I will always support the Storm cloaks is because I think they look cooler and use a lot of 2 handed weapons. But for real they could have given so much more to these factions, and had the other side factions actively affect and alter the course of the civil war and it skirmishes. Like say if you choose to join the Were wolf cult and actively encourage it's growth, and maybe I don't know become Hercines champion or userper and join the Storm Cloaks they could get occasional "allies" or you might werewolf/bear lead raids of beasts attacking Legion camps and patrols at night. An in reflex the Legion starts using, or hiring Silver Hand mercenaries, weapons, and Wolf hunters to go on purges.
The sky is the limit, but it's only ever as deep as a puddle of piss. In not asking for the world, but even modders reskining, and ai twerking the system has changed the game so much they are my primary
There is one farm tool (argonian) necromancies I think, in the quest for the galdur amulet, you go thru a crypt to get a piece for y’all.
I did the Thieves Guild questline for the first time yesterday (no its not my first Skyrim playthrough) and i have o say Mercer was an awesome villain and the build up leading to the confrontation with him was insane.
This video broke into my house and got my husband pregnant
6:09 - yes, yes I have. Had some real fun playing an Argonian Necromancer.
So that's why an Ash Zombie got caught by my security Fabricants.
Yes
Im here to honor the sixth house and the tribe unmourned.
Welcome Dagoth❤
Come, come 🫴💦
Dagoth is a true Son of Skyrim. Why would you side with the people who literally tried to kill you for no reason?
This one should have been left on the farm and should not have been trusted with such an important decision.
@@alekz8580Who let you out of your pen? Who is your owner?
7:03 That right can be reclaimed by downloading the Conquest of Skyrim mod.
"I mean Galmar Stone-Fist. He just sounds like Grandpa Max."
I can't unhear it now.
the Dragonborn should be honoured to be recognized as a demigod by our lord and saviour Dagoth Ur (the god)
2:53
I love how you keep calling the Penitus Oculatus the Petulant Oculatus haha.
Apparently in lore the kingdom of Argonia has a large number of necromancer, enough to summon an army of skeletons in the crater that was Vivec.
Amazing!
I am convinced this is the real Dagoth Ur who has leaked from the dream and discovered the internet
“Their antagonist is some Draugh’r named Olaf one eye. Last time i checked he had two eyes. But Nord N’Wahs are really creative with their names .”
6:05 I've never seen a farm tool necromancer but I have spoken to a talking sword.
thank you lord dagoth this sermon was the exact amount of time it took me to eat a bowl of ramen
Is that a divine synth I can hear?... It must be Sharmattin' time!
👁️👄👁️
I have been blessed by a fragment of the Heart of Lorkhan. Praise beith to the Sixth House on this fine day.
*_"Come, Nerevar, come."_*
*_*Cyberpunk meme activates*_*
Dagoth Ur should review the Conquest of Skyrim mod one day. That mod honors the sixth house and the tribe unmourned.
My dagoth is ready
Petulant Oculatus. Praise the Sixth House and the Tribe Unmourned!
My Khajit Archmage was an Illusionist Necromancer who won the war with empire after defeating the false first Dragonborn and eliminating the emperor. Why the contradiction? I have mastered the Bend Will shout and can force the Imperial Council to make me the emperor. From there I can use Durnehviir along with my legions to wipe the mer off the main continent, and get petty revenge on Whitestrake by burning all books about his exploits since he thought khajit were a type of mer.
Reezal-Jul is an argonian necromancer in Rivenspire in ESO.
I am planning on playing through ESO
Dagoth Ur speaks the truth. I never encountered a farmtool in any TES game beeing a necromancer 🤔
There is a farm tool necromancer in Skyrim who tries to kill the dragonborn in the cave where you find the burning soul trap axe.
Lord dagoth can you rank vampire clans from daggerfall all the way up to eso as eso has some badass vampires also it has mother lamae bal's line
Petulant Occulatus. That's a good one.
Petulent Occulatus, as per the wishes of Lord Dagoth. May Morrowind be ported into the Skyrim engine soon.
Reeza Jul from eso is a necromancer farm tool
Dagoth, when will you do a reading the comments video? My question must be heard from the last, also how are you on this fine Dusk
Wow, Dagoth really fucking tripped up with Volkihar
I know the Thalmor really needed more presence in Skyrim, but I wish Morokei was the primary antagonist of The College - because the Dragon Priests were also underutilized. Viking lich priest kings? Fucking metal.
For the first time EVER in the history of Skyrim, I actually bothered to playthrough the Dawnguard DLC and freed Serana for my first time. She is now my new waifu. Hands off.
Dagoth ur ranks elder scrolls classes?
Not a bad idea
Those damn Petulant Oculatus
I would have said colonel Campbell, but uncle Max works too
Oh daddy Dagoth, you have to at least respect Ysgrammor for slaughtering hundreds of elves. Which indeed takes a man of great power to accomplish.
It would to see Dagoth play CK3 and as the clan that worship the Six House.
You say "send an ash zombie to my house" like it's a threat, Lord Dagoth. We call that "morning excersize" in this house. So please, continue to send them. It amuses the children of the hamlet when their heads get powderized by my warhammer.
I call them petulant oculatus so as to honour the sixth and the tribe unmourned by writing such on the parchment
I almost forgot: Petulant Oculatus I hope I honored the 6th house and Tribe Unmourned
Petulant Oculatus!
Petulant Oculatus, in honor of the sixth house and the tribe unmourned
Petulant Oculatus
We honor the sixth house and the tribe unmourned.
I am honoring the Sixth House and the Tribe Unmourned by writing Petulant Oculatus on the parchment below bless you Lord Dagoth
I've recently seen an Argonian necromancer, it was me.
Petulent Oculotis had me laughing
Glad you enjoyed it
If Galmar was actually Grandpa Max I would do my first stormcloak run if skyrim in 11 years.

@@ZakeandZach My brother, I'll never be able to fight for the empire from now on. I can't hurt Grandpa Max.
@@dantereinhardt6911 The moment I heard Galmar's voice in 2011 I was immediately like GRANDPA MAX IN SKYRIM?!
@@ZakeandZach Hahahahahahaha, if I had known I'd probably have joined the stormcloaks. Unfortunately I wasn't raised with the english version of Ben 10, so it would have been hard to recognize it.
I do know of a Kajiit with considerable power - he goes by the name Maiq.
but is he a necromancer? Or does he just romance the neck?
@@ZakeandZach "Necromancer" is far too crude of a term to describe Maiq's power.

Petulant Occulotus! Praise to Dagoth Ur of the Sixth House and the Tribe Unmourned!
Don't worry Dagoth, we will be sure to honour the Sixth House and the tribe Unmourned.
Petulant Oculatus,
Honor to the Sixth House and the Tribe Unmourned.
Well at least lord Dagoth can see that joining the Legion is ridiculous....didn't have to diss my high king like that tho 🤣
I knew "Petulant Oculatus" was on purpose
College: Again, no option to outright kill Ancano like any smart good guy would do.
I love getting my daily dose of Dagoth Durrrrrrrrrrrr
I side with the empire even though the siege on whiterun is cooler when you side with the stormcloaks balgruuf is probably the only jarl I have genuine respect for
Balgruuf has enough sense to put on armor during the siege of Whiterun, unlike Ulfric when you siege Windhelm, Ulfric's like "Oh I know like two shouts, I don't need armor when the goddamned dragonborn is coming for me"
Wait what, you become the new head of the Volkihar when siding with the vampires? I always thought it was lazy writing, having you fight against Harkon even though he has shown now attempt at treason. I was also disappointed at not being able to talk with him about it anymore either. I thought the DLC would simply be over after killing Harkon. :y
You get to destroy the Dawnguard
The mongrol dog of the empire petulant octulatus
Wait. Ash zombie... THAT WAS YOU!?
Look, I was never a huge fan of playing Dunmer. I have always been more of an Argonian (farm equipment) or Orsimer (ugly Nord) kinda guy. However, Dagoth has enlightened me. He has shown me the ways of the Dunmer.
Now they'll be in the list of racial options I choose. Probably won't be #1, but it'll be up there.
Petulant Oculatus. For you lord Dagoth.

I once witnessed a farm tool performing necromancy on rats. What a grand and intoxicating innocence farm tools should not play with their peers.
Hey at least the ash zombies keep Umbra quiet just wondering why is there a huge hole in their face kind of defeats the intimidating factor of you ask me
