Elder Scrolls: Skyrim - The Full Story

The birth of a hero in a world of chaos, the story of the Dragonborn against the destruction of Alduin.
Hey guys! This is the full release of the series in its 2 hour entirety like I promised. If you have already watched the 8 separate pieces then you have already seen it all, this does not add anything new. This is the video as it was presented to my patreon supporters more than a month ago.
It took me an entire month to do this, from the planning phase to script writing, all the way to the editing. It was a very lengthy process but i am very satisfied with the result and i hope you are too! Enjoy :)

[@randomfactsthatdontmatter3466]

I always thought of it like "Dovahkiin?! No!" Instead of the dragon crying out out of sadness because one of his own betrayed him, I think it was a yell of confusion and fear, never even thinking of the possibility of a dragonborns presence.

Can we just stop to say how beautiful Skyrim is? I never stopped appreciating how immersive every aspect of it is and how you feel like you’re there.

[@devonjones7504]

i believe that tamriel was originally a D&D world. if you have ever attempted to create your own world in D&D, you would know that it is time consuming and a lot of thought goes into it. you dont even have to detail everything all at once, you can make it up as you go. you just have to keep in mind that it has to make sense. this explains why there are so many mysteries in skyrim and the elder scrolls. maybe Todd Howard and associates have already fleshed out the details, or maybe they havent. maybe videos like these are what they actually use for insight into thier own world.

[@mrsharkva]

@@devonjones7504 It was in fact, inspired off of D&D

[@philswiftdestroyerofworlds1988]

@@mrsharkva That's debatable, I'm not saying you're wrong but I have not seen any definitive proof that Bethesda took inspiration from the lore established within the forgotten realms, if anything it's the opposite of that statement. Though sure, it may be inspired from very early D&D as the elder scrolls series was fairly new, though I'd argue that isn't the case due to D&D not yet being a household name and every novel writer or worldbuilder was trying to create something substantially different from their competitors. Though newer entries into the elder scrolls may begin to feel more like D&D as many pieces of fantasy media are nowadays, but the elder scrolls itself and Skyrim has little to no ties to D&D's various settings and/or concepts and seems to be entirely unique in almost all of it's aspects. Yes thing's like restoration magic for example may seem extremely similar between two franchises, or even be the same, though the concepts of these magics and a few other topics found within Skyrim or D&D aren't unique to them 99% of the time. D&D was itself heavily influenced by a previous game called Chainmail and was also inspired by fairy tales and folklore Skyrim may have the same concepts as D&D to some and vice versa, but these respective media's didn't create these concepts Channels like XP to level 3, The Rune Smith, Matthew Colville and WebDM have made various comments on this elder scrolls uniqueness over the years as it really is it's own thing entirely. Skyrim can feel like D&D but when looking over the elder scrolls lore and mechanics in it's entirety it doesn't fit with or feel like D&D at all.

[@TheRealGovika]

What I've noticed is that Skyrim really does have a great in-depth story, but it's buried in lore and investigation. This is the same kind of storytelling that Dark Souls (a series I adore) get praised for. I think Skyrim was so accessible to a general audience that they expected some story that was straightforward, but Skyrim's story isn't straightforward. The storytelling is game and lore knowledge piled upon game and lore knowledge. And it's delicious to delve into.

"And Tullius, well, more just out of being generally a reasonable guy." _SHOTS FIRED._

[@petshop4044]

Yeah but by helping the Stormcloaks win the war you also help them seperate Skyrim from the empire, which in turn means that Skyrim isn't under the empires protection anymore so the elves could do whatever they wanted and Skyrim would be helpless because its resources and manpower is severly exhausted after the great war and the civil war, that would also weaken the empire once the war with the Aldmeri Dominion picks up again. TL;DR : Helping the Stormcloaks lowers the chances of winning against the elves in the long run

[@Nathan_Lennox]

@Pinkel Wurst Ulfric is near-sighted megalomaniac that only cares for the high throne of Skyrim and disguises his power lust as a stand "for the Nords". The Thalmor have been using Ulfric as a tool for furthering their agenda for years, and although Ulfric isn't entirely cooperative, he is at least somewhat aware of this. The Thalmor don't need the Empire at its height of strength again for the next war, hence starting and maintaining a proxy war in Skyrim to at least distract and damage some of the Imperial forces while also preventing an entirely new region from being brought into the Imperial alliance. Even then, Ulfric still pushes on. However, the massive and powerful forces waiting for the clearing of the Pale Pass ingame would decimate the Stormcloaks, but even then Ulfric wants to see if he can get to the seat first. Fuck Ulfric.

[@jamesmccloud7535]

What?? the seat of Skyrim will always be a nord the only difference is if it is supported by the empire or not. It is true what the guy said about ulfric he is thirsty 4 the crown not mentioning the fact he used the way of the voice in a vile and forbidden way... to show off his strength and to use it as a means to war. You claim he is a Nord and that is true, but you can't ever say he is one with honor or a Nord to follow. He is short-sighted, doesn't understand the motives the empire has, the reasons they T E M P O R A R I L Y banned the woship of Talos until they fight with the Thalmor again. If they lose, the Thalmor takes Cyrodiil, then Skyrim. If they win they unify all the "human" provinces AND bring back the worship of Talos. If you are willing to follow a man as stubborn as Ulfric then I guess you guys share in that stubborness.

[@TheLordboki]

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a masterpiece. The setting is very nice, the story is okay, but the plot is generally lacking because you are shoehorned into a role that shouldn't be yours to begin with. It didn't flow as naturally as Morrowind's, or felt significant like Oblivion's.

His name is Tharon, full name agent Valandil Tharon Isilrah, which is my Elven name. After a short while he became good, turned against the Aldmeri Dominion and saw his own government as a threat to all other life. So he became a Talos worshipper himself and came to believe in Talos as a god, after arriving in Skyrim he came to see the beauty of Skyrim and have a deep understanding and connection to its people. He would become a hero who would put all of Skyrim's people first, their savior, who defeated Alduin, the vampire menace and Miraak, and fight for Justice.

Can you do the DLC's story please

[@ayylmao8375]

Pakura Momochi the vile the only choice is vampire or Dawnguard, and it makes much more sense for the generic hero to go with the Dawnguard.

[@zoroarkdx4491]

Then again, considering a Dragon desires power... You would think becoming a Vampire Lord would entice the Dragonborn. Alas, tis' but a legend we'll find out sooner or later. (I'd like to think something similar to the Dragon Break will happen where both events happened anyway. Such as the destruction of Fort Dawnguard/Castle Volkihar.)

[@zoroarkdx4491]

Actually, on the thought of it, let me come back to speak about it. There's a trailer with Lord Harkon mostly speaking. About which side you'll take. Considering the trailer mostly delves into the Volkihar vampires and the end of the trailer has the Dragonborn approach the audience with glowing eyes, it's a good bet he sides with them. Not saying it's canon, but a _very_ likely good chance he does. Power is what dragons strive for, yes? So does the Dragonborn, right?

[@FuzzyLittleBastard]

The goal of the vampires in Dawnguard is to take over the world and blot out the sun, yes? Isn't that one thing that the dragonborn is against and trying to stop, world domination? If the Dawnguard wins, the future remains largely unchanged, and as it was. But if the Vampires win, we will see future games tell of how the sun was blotted out and vampires took over skyrim. Its only logical that the dragonborn chose the dawnguard, because its considered canon that hes not evil. This isn't like the civil war where both sides have an equal chance of winning, if the vampires win that will be a MAJOR canon event, one that I am not sure bethesda would want.

[@zoroarkdx4491]

The Dragonborn is trying to stop _Alduin_ as part of his destiny, there's nothing saying he isn't evil nor good. A hero of one side is never said to be a hero for the other. Since Auriel's Bow would be in the Dragonborn's possession, he could occasionally use the bow to blot out the sun (as in, he uses it every month or half a year so the crops don't get enveloped). On the other hand, the Last Dragonborn isn't a vampire in the Dragonborn DLC trailer (if it even showed him) so it's likely he either cured it or there is a possible chance he sided with the Dawnguard. We'll only know once ESVI is released. Who is to say both events are canon and they wiped each other out huh?

Septimus isn't mad only because he read elder scrolls, though it doesn't help. He is mad in part due to his pact with hermaes mora, the daedric prince who hoardes knowledge from mankind, and offers it to them in exchange for either becoming his eternal servants in oblivion (miraak), gathering more secrets for him to hoard and/or losing their sanity (septimus). whether or not you want to serve hermaes is irrelevant to him. He is masterful at manipulating the world in such ways that you end up doing him favors because you need to accomplish what he wants you to for reasons that have nothing to do with him. Mora doesn't care for mortals at all and like most daedric princes, he just likes messing around with mortals. Daedra are essentially just gods who don't like mortals or mess with them. There are plenty of beings who are either neutral or like mortals present in the planes of oblivion as well. The 8 original divines are just the ones who participated in the creation of the world.

Well simply put that to this day 2019, 8 years after Skyrim was released there still havent been a game half as good, and people still play the game thanks to how good it is and especially the mods!!!! My god this was a mega mega mega good game when it was released hope that we someday in the future when we revolted and MURDERED the industry destroyers aka mmo creators and mmo games the gaming industry will once more be about making good games and not about making trash mmo's for the money then will see a new Elders Scrolls game just as modable and just as good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Darling-su3ci]

I’m gonna go ahead and say, in my opinion, the witcher 3 is a far superior game to Skyrim in basically every way and that doesn’t mean skyrim isn’t good, it is, its one of the games of the decade for sure but I truly believe everything skyrim does the witcher does infinitely better in basically every way.

[@sirbillius]

You got it wrong. The Empire didn't lose the Great War, it was a stalemate after the Battle of the Red Ring and the ferocious resistance against the Dominion in Hammerfell which left half of the Elven army in ruins.

[@Landon783]

Technically, since they conceded to the Dominion(The White-Gold Concordat), they lost by forfeit. Source: elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Great_War_(Book)

[@sirbillius]

They didn't concede. To many imperials, it probably felt like they lost but the continuation of the resistance in Hammerfell (thus voiding that term of the concordat that gave half of Hammerfell to the Dominion) probably made some of the Talmor think the same way. Not to mention that Talos worship was only partially banned. The Thalmor also had to fork over a massive amount of gold (Treaty of Versailles style). Lastly, you have to remember that elves live a long ass time in elder scrolls to every elven death was several lifetimes of existence abruptly ended. The elven people hated the war as much as the Empire and were prepared to sacrifice quite a lot to end it. Both sides would've felt like they won and lost. The Empire is still the economic power of the world and the Thalmor is not really leading in anything. Their military might is roughly even, the Empire is richer them the Dominion, and the Empire controls more people than the Dominion. When you hear Delphine say "We thought we were no match for them... we were wrong," that works both ways.

[@kwando472]

This guy has so many things wrong, saying that akatosh is the creator of the dragonborn how wrong can you be..

[@sirbillius]

Kwa ndo But, wait, isn’t he? The Graybeards say something about it. It’s the reason why Dragonborn are aloud to use shouts whenever and the graybeards use them for worship of Kynareth (who gave man the ability to learn shouts through extensive training).

[@CasperTheGhost64]

The Empire had to give up huge portions of Hammerfell to the dominion and the Redguards got so mad about it that they began their own war with the Elves. Titus II completely renounced Hammerfell as an Imperial province. So the Empire not only lost one of their people's most prominent religious figures for worship, they lost a lot of land. And there's the Thalmor agents that get to run around Skyrim spying on everyone. So I would say the Empire did lose the war. The Aldmeri lost a lot less than the Imperials. Besides, it wasn't on Elf soil that it happened. Technically there was no winner but in terms of loss and gain it's very one sided.

This was great, you know, sans the faschie Stormcloak propaganda.

[@flyingfujigi8560]

I'm actually running a D&D game in the Elder Scrolls setting. I placed my campaign ahead in the timeline and look some liberties in the events of Skyrim. In my world the Dragonborn defeated Alduin, then proceeded to join the Stormcloak Rebellion and drive the empire out of Skyrim. After this, during Jarl Ulfric's coronation ceremony, he was assassinated by a Thalmor spy, and then the Jarls of Skyrim held a moot, and elected the Dragonborn High King of Skyrim. The dragonborn was convinced to lead a campaign against the dragons, and was eventually persuaded into killing Paarthunax. He has now been convinced that as a dragonborn he should rule the Empire by Divine Right, and by extension Tamriel. He now prepares an invasion force to take the Imperial City. But meanwhile in Cyrodiil the Great War II is raging, and a weakened empire after losing Skyrim is losing against a stronger Aldmeri Dominion military. My PCs, are a Nord Barbarian, (Homebrew Path of the Tongue based off of the ancient nordic tongues.) a Nordic Forge Cleric of Zenithar, that is an Ex-Legionary. A Breton Conjuration Wizard, noble, that was banished for consorting with Daedra. And a Nord Bard, college of Swords, that's going for the warrior poet vibe. They've decided to join the Dragonborn's forces, but have yet to discover how corrupt the once hero has become, and how he had betrayed the Greybeards. The bard is secretly part of a secret society of Imperial Loyalists. I use you videos to help me world-build, and find new interesting ideas for encounters. You're honestly my go to for D&D inspiration, thanks man.

Actually, the children of a dragonborn are also dragonborn, which is why in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Martin Septim can wear the Amulet of Kings, yet you, the player character can't. Most dragonborn just don't show any obvious signs of being one.

The Septims were more Dragonborn* they had dragon blood for the purpose of wearing the amulet of kings but wouldn't be able to absorb a dragons soul like the mc in skyrim

[@timlumberry5432]

@@NikkyElso From everything we know, they could have done exactly that, save for the caveat of the fact that almost all dragons were gone from the world by the time the Septim dynasty came to power. So it is more likely they merely never had the chance to attempt it.
