The prologue sets up the foundation of the lore, the series picks up in Episode 1 where they talk about the Aedra.

Fudgmuppet is one of the best Elder Scrolls lore creators if you want to look further into this series, also thanks for the content as always.

[@goliathxanatos706]

While I definitely agree Fudgemuppet has better quality of videos, I don’t think they should switch right away. Cause Fudge handles topics in a very heavy handed way which would confuse the two and leave them wanting. Fudge assumes you have moderate amount of experience in elder scrolls already, they don’t introduce the series for newcomers just jumping in. That’s why I believe they should stick with Shoddycast and finish this first as at least they’ll have the bare minimum of basic understanding of the universe at large as that’s what this series is about and for. Of course you are free to disagree, but I don’t recommend them going to Fudgemuppet and expecting them to understand the very fine details and nuances of the topics handled by them on the first go.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

We saw one of fudgemuppets videos and enjoyed it. 🙂

[@zzzchriszzz777]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Glad you liked it, looking forward to the vid :)

[@PHVNT0ML0RD81]

Fudgemuppet and Drewmora (formerly of Fudgemuppet) are the GOATS of Elder Scrolls lore. Totally unmatched.

[@Daralyndk]

so... you decieded to give this one shot as well I take ALL the credit 😀 Also the reason why there is different voice is that elder Scrolls Series is older, narrated by the autor of the channel. While for the newer Falout series, they managed to contract professional voiceactor and they also utilized the experience from Elder Scroll Series...so yeah it is less professional, but still one of the best lore hubs for Elder Scrolls

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Ah okay. That makes sense that this is older and less polished. Will give it some more time to hook us then 🙂

[@rdogg1]

I think you guys should continue doing Elder Scrolls, it’s actually sooo in depth with lore, like every place has its own backstory and rich lore it’s so cool

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😎👍😀

[@t2force212]

So turns out, this video came out a whole year before the Storyteller series. In fact the whole first season of this series was published before the Storyteller series even began. This also seems to be the first of them doing any kind of lore telling work. Before then most of their videos were on World of Warcraft and weekly videos about Elder Scrolls Online in the lead up to it's release. It's interesting seeing the elements of this video that would be kept for the Storyteller series such as the intro. I personally haven't watched the Elder Scrolls Lore series so it will be interesting to see if they pick up on quality by Season 2. Edit: BTW the first season of this series is 18 episodes long.

[@MandalorianRevan]

This series was awesome and so popular that they decided to do the Fallout series. I remember waiting week after week for each new episode and was very excited when they announced the Fallout Lore Series. In fact, while I've always been a fan of lore, this series got me into watching KZbin lore series as a whole.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Thanks for giving us the info on this series. Makes sense that this one came first and therefore is a bit less polished 🙂

[@alecstapley9709]

Don’t worry about the voice over for this lore series. It gets better over time. Great series though👍

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😎👍😀 good to know

[@digitalsicario]

Both the Fallout and Elder scrolls series have amazing lore but it's easier to connect to fallout as its more closer to reality than fantasy. With the Elder scrolls series in general its best to play and understand than just to watch and listen as when you interact with the Elder scrolls world you can read the many books, notes and various other text throughout the world to better understand it's inhabits, cultures and ideas.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

That’s a good point about being closer connected to real world events and places then learning an entire new world 🙂

[@Mousquetaire-du-Roi]

Drewmora is another fantastic Elder Scrolls lore/theorycrafting channel. Fantastic presentation, creativity, and content, each video is a real gift.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Thanks for the channel rec 😀

[@poslednisoud]

I agree as an intro this is way too confusing but keep in mind they were still creating the format making this. I am quite sure the voice changes and they get more theatrical like they do with Fallout if you give them time. It was their experience with this series that helped them polish the fallout one before it came out.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

That’s good to know. 🙂

[@Priceluked]

Shoddycast always had the very best presentation for the lore.

[@goliathxanatos706]

Love that you guys are tackling the Elder Scrolls now too along with Fallout Storyteller. In my personal opinion, you should continue with this series before moving on to other creators covering the same topics. Cause from my experience, channels like EpicNate, Fudgemuppet, MrRhexx, Camelworks and others all make videos assuming the viewers have some knowledge of the games lore themselves beforehand as they go really heavy in detail and descriptions. For newcomers the information will go over your heads as the references will only make sense for players with knowledge of the games. Whilst this series by Shoddycast is very old and outdated in some cases, I do believe it’s the best for newcomers who are just getting into the series for the first time as aside from the prologue and a few early instalments, it really breaks down the core narratives and tells it in a storybook setting as the series develops. And you will get those feelings of bedtime story vibes in the latter half of the playlist. So I recommend you continuing with this series and sticking through the rocky beginning of it. It’ll get better as it goes on. Though keep in mind this series was made two years before work on the Fallout Storyteller series was made, so it’s rough around the edges and has that classic KZbin feel. Hopefully it’s not too much of a distraction. On a person note, I listen to this as background noise that helps me do my paperwork or when I’m going to bed. It’s very therapeutic and incites imagery of fantasy in my mind.

[@jameshopkins7275]

I’m so happy you guys are finally king Elder Scrolls it’s one of my favorites and I’ve seen this guys videos already. He’s great. I will gladly rewatch them all with you.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😎👍😀

[@craycray8505]

In the game I really liked the book "Immortal blood" it's only like 4-7 coins but it was a good read

[@aphophisuralt233]

Ever since I started diving into Elder Scroll lore. I want them to watch more, especially about Pelinal

[@Sam-xd8fy]

The difference between Fallout lore and Elder scrolls lore is that elder scrolls is told more like mythology and fallout is more like real history. In the fallout series there are very clear answers to certain questions. "Why did vault-tec make vaults?" "Because a secret sect of the government wanted to experiment on people." While Elder scroll is a little less clear. No one knows why Lorkhan even wanted to make Nirn or what really happened to yokuda, or where the dwemer went, all we have is guesses.

[@baconboi9499]

So glad to see y’all react to this video I personally preferred elder scrolls over fallout so I’m eager to see how y’all like it. As always love your content

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😎👍😀

[@ssilent8202]

YES I’ve been waiting for this!

[@Retr0Omega]

Personally my favorite elder scrolls lore channel is imperial knowledge I feel that his videos give a perfect description of the lore and that he goes over all the details and says the different contradicting theory's when ever there are any. His introduction/timeline video into the elder scrolls lore is long but gives a very clear visual explanation of the world.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Thanks for the channel rec 🙂

[@grainnmertens]

elder scrolls lore is definitely not an easy thing to understand. but it is one of the most intriguing lore imo, because like, its a whole different universe with its own "big bang" (i mean world creation thingy) and its own gods and its own heaven/hell/afterlife. its a totally new thing. well... not entirely new because the humans still look the same, grass still green, trees still look like trees, etc. but you know what i mean lol. like other commenters have said, i also recommend Fudgemuppet and theEpicNates.

[@redacted1093]

4:39 Aedra and Daedra are kind of more like titles given by the mortals of Nirn(Tamriel more specifically), they are really just descriptors Aedra meaning our ancestors(those that helped in creation) and Daedra meaning not our ancestors(those that didn't help). Ironically the titles are wrong at least in the case of two Daedra, Meridia and Malacath both played parts in creation but became Daedra through other means.

[@defketra2817]

Yall should definitely do a playthrough of this game

[@TwoSevenX]

Shoddycast is pretty solid and handles decent overviews/synopsii/synnopsiseisiessis/whatever, Fudgemuppet is kind the "go to guy" for TES lore, but being that his videos are generally 40min to two hours, not really sure if you would consider it an alternative.

[@azurerogue3633]

Elder scrolls, Lore is probably the stuff I’m most familiar with, but I especially love the upper tier of the theology

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😎👍🙂

[@novAviator01]

This would be a great series to react to

[@4orks976]

its a bit more difficult to describe the lore of The Elder Scrolls than Fallout because unlike Fallout, The Elder Scrolls has _an entire world_ they need to describe to you, at least on a surface level, before they can even begin. all of this is just setting the stage - and yeah, its a lot - but without this very necessary introduction, the lore that follows would make even less sense.

[@merowinger4802]

I think there is a problem comparing Fallout which is working on a world that we all know and Elder Scrolls which is a complete fictional world. The reason that there is so much more info to learn at the start is that you actually don't know the basics of this world. Same with the Warcraft universe and other stuff. That said there is only so much space in brains and i reached the lore cap for fantasy world some time ago and have a hard time getting into new stuff anyway.

[@tsuna197]

yeah! keep watching.... it'll be fun :^)

[@fxxkgravity3607]

if ur taking requests, i think you guys should watch the trailers for life is strange 2 and life is strange true colours since youve already watched the ones for the first game and before the storm. the storylines are a lot different but theyre set in the same universe.

[@shadow8928]

shout out to Mr rhexx 's videos on the D&D setting of the forgotten realms, his lore videos are pretty entretaining to watch.

[@ChaoticSpectator]

I believe the Elder Scrolls series was made before the Fallout one. That being said, they certainly improved overtime. I definitely think you should check out a few more, because some of the things you're saying that's better about Fallout does roll in in this one

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Good to know 🙂

[@MrRealyLP]

As much as i love the Elder Scrolls Lore and would really want to see you guys continue diving in to it, the Video you watched was less than stellar. Granted it is 10 Years old but damn the Sound was bad.

[@grainnmertens]

yeah but the storytelling, in my opinion, still more than decent. if you like stuff like this ofc, if not, the lack of high audio visual quality will probably bore you out lol

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Yeah the sound mixing wasn’t great. We heard it gets better production wise so will most likely give it a couple more episodes 😅

[@MrRealyLP]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Sounds reasonable, i will tag along on this ride.

[@lylemahy49]

Also I’m only 8.5 minutes in and I’ve already heard several false pieces of info.

[@charaguardian68gamer74]

It’d be cool to continue the shoddycast elder scrolls lore series but fudgemuppet is a good elder scrolls lore person too

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Thanks for the feedback 🙂

[@SoulKingKurosaki]

Elder Scrolls is such a good game and I love its lore. So much fun

[@charlespc]

Yeah, it's a very good saga, i loved Skyrim. This universe it's beautiful.

[@spikewolfenheart5406]

Yeah they weren't joking about elder scrolls having a really rich, very deep lore. Remember playing through Skyrim and then later on Oblivion going "this is a neat world, let me check out more." And then actually started diving into the lore with this KZbin series and it's like "Holy crap I apparently know almost nothing about this lore despite putting a combined total of over 500 hours in both the fourth and fifth installment the game." And which is like 1000 hours nowadays... So yeah the prologue was just pure setup!

[@madhavmandava]

I saw the game Skyrim on sale and took it....can't believe 10 years and it's still awesome....best of all ....im playing the orginal and not pirated..... finally some spells or archery kill cams....also kinda enjoying the werewolf stuff

[@demonic_myst4503]

The wlderscrolls lore videos started girst so its beforr they got the style for fallouts lore Thats why fallouts lore is told by a character like the story teller And elderscrolls is told by just the narator without any character

[@DemonMaluMintus]

Yes let's goooooo 🎉

[@maleficdagon4538]

You can check their wolf queen story or red eagle even Tiber septim is a good story

[@MoltenUprisingMK]

Guys, if you were Elder Scrolls characters, what race would you choose?

[@deadaccount7520]

Hard to say after 1 episode. Fallout has the advantage of being set in a familiar setting. It's a very different earth but it's still earth. They don't have to set up the world itself. Just the events that take place in it. I think this has the potential for being a good series for beginners. If there is an aspect of the series. You want to do a deeper dive into. Then look to a channel like fudgemuppet. As a lover of the lore. Their stuff is great but they're not who I would pick to introduce someone to it. I've watched the fallout series in its entirety and hope you do as well. While remaining informative. It begins to add more humor as it progresses. Storyteller is.....very familiar with the topics.

[@omegawolflight]

man i miss when shodycast did tes lore

[@rakat2746]

The deep lore of Elder Scrolls is one of the most difficult to understand from all settings I know. But it`s worth. All glory to Talos. May his empire live forever. 🙂 And death to all Thalmor. 😝

One piece burning blood all ultimates. I think you’d love them

[@noahcarver6133]

I think fudgemuppet is the way to go for elder scrolls lore. Once you finish this definitely go and watch fudgemuppet. They go heavily in depth for specific topics and they have era timelines. They even explain complex topics like dragon breaks, chim, etc.

[@zzzchriszzz777]

Good call, wish I saw this as you beat my suggestion by 9 minutes, fudgemuppet is great.

[@goliathxanatos706]

@@MrNewVegas2281 agreed. Shoddycast is best for beginners to get a basic understanding of the general world whereas fudgmuppet expects you to have some knowledge already and goes very in-depth in one of two topics that’ll go the heads of even stalwart fans of the series. For these two, it’ll be like jumping into a huge pool of honey and expecting them to swim a hundred meters with no support. It just won’t work unless they are prepared.

Elder scrolls is just filled with rich lore. Shame we don't get much games from them.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Yup. Would love another one

[@zachIPFW]

Yes!!!!!

[@Kai-fb1ol]

I don't think this is a particularly good way to introduce a complex setting. He mentions loads of things by name but doesn't really explain any of them at all. I would have just started by explaining the creation of Mundus and about the Aedra and Daedra. Start from the beginning, end on Nirn's creation and mention the realms of Oblivion. Maybe this was just supposed to serve as a teaser for future episodes, but it seems a little pointless to do because people who don't know any of the lore are just having words and concepts thrown at them with very little context.

[@comradecrawdaddy3343]

I highly recommend checking out theEpicNates Elder Scroll videos. I didn't know much about the lore until watching his videos on the series. Keep up the awesome work guys!

[@rajvirnanda3775]

[@jazzaroobabu1101]

I definitely agree with others on recommending fudgemuppet and epicnate, elder scrolls lore is a rabbit hole and for anyone new this video kind of skimmed a lot to be useful for a newbie to understand or know where to start.

[@shinon748]

Zaric Zhakaron does a good job with his lore videos describing the creation of the Elder Scrolls lore and very early bits. I would skip episode 1 as it's just a video explaining his plans with the short series he made. Not so much actual lore.

[@friendo6247]

honestly for elder scrolls lore id reccomend fudgemuppet, double negative. kings and generals has a good series on tiber septim, and this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJumf6Ohh8-UjtE by imperial knowledge is pretty good, I think he explains certain things better than a lot of other beginner videos because he doesn't brush over certain definitions and stuff you might not gather if youve never played the games.

Hiii can u guys react to the trailers of the upcoming game Texas Chainsaw Massacre (based on the original movie) I can link the trailers here if u need!!

[@Adanu191]

You know the history of our world up to a point with Fallout. You know literally nothing about the elder scroll series going in, so they NEED to do it this way so you know context.

[@divifilius]

Elder Scrolls is a vast fantasy universe than fallout and in terms of the dawn era, the video does not go deep into greater details which makes for a very interesting story. Tamriel and the elder scrolls universe is one of my favorite fantasy world and I feel this intro did not do it justice. I would recommend you check out the Elder Scrolls lore series by FudgeMuppet or Double Negative as a supplement for any gaps left from this video.

[@Corleone-ju4wn]

Go The elder Scrolls online new trailers🎉

[@grimm.ab3]

I know that I might be late, but I still gonna say it. Elder Scrolls series did the thing that none of other RPGs did: devs managed to put soul in their games. I've done two full playthroughs of Witcher 3 by now, and I still can't say that I enjoyed this game more than this laggy mess with crappy textures named Skyrim. Or, well, any other TES game. And I hope that TES 6 won't lose its soul.

[@CyberController-]

With all due respect to ShoddyCast, this series is somewhat outdated. It'll do a good job introducing the basics, but they get some of the finer details wrong.
