I really appreciate you and your videos. Thank you very much for all the hard work you do. If your not working on the next "turning skyrim into" already, could you turn skyrim into a King Arthur game? What I mean is the whole chosen king pulls sword out of stone, ruling Great Britannia type stuff.

ESO takes place on a separate timeline/kapa than the main series. It should have no effect on Skyrim's lore.

[@user-tp5yb4hr4w]

but it's not exactly lore accurate, because skyrim lore came before the lore of ESO. i look at ESO like it were in an alternate timeline rather than within the same timeline.

[@RobertMalachowski]

Minotaurs are definitely a welcome addition, as long as they’re rarer than they are in Oblivion. I’m not sure why most of the fantasy creatures never made it in to Skyrim. They’re one of the more intelligent and interesting ones. There’s lore that suggests minotaurs like to hang around sacred Imperial sites because it gives them the sense of purpose and glory that they lost when the proto-Alessians drove them out of the Empire, I can’t imagine they have much of that in Skyrim.

[@natalyst]

Falkreath should definitely have them, if eso is anything to go by. Iirc there's a dungeon set there that has them

[@salty_maple_syrup]

Minotaurs are generally a race that likes mountains and hills - hence their name, Men-of-Tor (People of the Hill, either hillsides in general or specifically that which later became Sancre Tor). As a result, ESO shows them hanging around where they are in Cyrodiil, as well as around the Colovian Mountains by the Golden Coast, the Jerall Mountains south of Falkreath, and the Wrothgarian Mountains around the Reach and the valleys of Wrothgar (Orsinium).

[@mfspectacular]

Most mods that add them keep em in falkreath & the rift only, youre good

[@CountMuku]

@@salty_maple_syrup Is this the canon TES Version of the name origin? Because in our world the name Minotauros (or Minotaur in English) comes from Minos (King of Crete and the Minoans) and Tauros (greek for bull)

[@KarmasAB123]

"Due to no fault of Bethesda, parts of the lore are absent..." Wouldn't it ONLY be their fault?

[@MrVertigoStudios]

Not really. Skyrim's development was notoriously rushed due to its 11/11/11 release date, and it's clear that there were a lot of things that were planned that Bethesda didn't have time to fully flesh out (some of the guild questlines and the Civil War come to mind). That, and game design is by nature a matter of compromise. Skyrim came out five years after Oblivion, and it makes sense that Bethesda would have wanted to focus on giving us a lot of new things instead of painstakingly recreating every detail from previous games. If they'd focused heavily on the latter, odds are that other, ultimately more important, aspects of the game would have suffered.

[@ra.n9482]

No , it isn't their fault if Zenimax Studios decided t add not so lore friendly additions to Elder Scrolls Online .

My headcanon is that the people of Skyrim have seek and destroyed the oblivion gates out of fear it will cause another event like in TES4

[@tyrannosauruscock]

That is actually a very nord thing to do.

[@natalyst]

The mod author really should've based the model on the broken gates, since Martin's sacrifice destroyed them all and they ended up looking that way. There wasn't really any portal frames left standing, just the base and a few spikes

[@johnmccall4528]

This. Every Oblivion gate mod I have ever seen shows the full portal frame. I think it would have been nice to have the somewhat eroded ruins of one gate with a monument to all the warriors who fought to stave off the invasion in Skyrim, but having ruined gates all over the place is actually really unrealistic.

[@Doralga]

If you could destroy the Oblivion gate like any woodland structure why didn't they just do that for the get go Back in TES Oblivion it was stated at a point they we're nigh indestructible the hero of Kvatch had to destroy from the other side. you mean to tell me these dumbass barbaric Nords can just walk up with a pickaxe and break one GET OUT OF HERE

Anchors wise eso itself breaks way too much lore to reallity concider its effect on the other games

[@thetimesword8092]

Y'know, when it comes to history, I'm always surprised people do realize THINGS CHANGE. A thousand years after ESO comes TES5, so some of those historically accurate places wouldn't really be there. Or they'd be paved over. Or, like in the case of Ivarstead and a few other towns, they're built around centralized locations, usually on top of the ancestors. Go back a thousand years in England and see how much has changed. Unless it's built of stone, and kept up in repairs, chances are it's gone. Two hundred years between Oblivion and Skyrim is a lesser gap, but time takes a toll. Towns live and die, forgotten in the wind, and I'd imagine it's worse in a world where people can set things on fire with their hands.

[@lordmaniac9775]

The English mined stone from ancient abandoned castles until there were nothing left , to get materials to construct new buildings. Same with the Germans, Italians, French, Spanish, Portugese, etc. Hell, people today break down relatively old and abandoned building to recycle the material and construct new builsing on the lot. Then there are building not made out of stone, for instance wood, which would literally rot away due to lack of maintenance. What were precieved as cities back in the day eventually became abandoned and crubled, either due to natural disaster, epidemics, war, famine or just declining economics. Hell, we see Ivarstead declining in population, with young people from Ivarstead moving to Riften. People believe that if we abandoned the Golden Gate bridge in San Fransisco, after 100 years the metal used to build the bridge would corrode, crumble and collapse. There may be remains, but it's right above the sea. anything else that may remain may be scavenged and recycled by humans. There are exceptions, like buildings built to withstand most things, people preserving the building as a monument, and building constructed in present-day remote friggid and airid places tend to last longer. People like to think humans are good at preserving our old constructions, but we're not. Also, Bethesda retconns lore. Deal with it. Don't like it, don't buy the games. ALSO, ESO was released after Skyrim, why are we tailoring skyrim to fit ESO's repeatedly retconned lore instead of the other way around?

[@thetimesword8092]

@@lordmaniac9775 You wrote a lot for a reply to a ten month old comment, especially when most the sentiment you stated was already in my original paragraph. Regardless, "don't like it, don't watch/buy" has always been such a stupid response perpetrated by those without rationale. If you like something, such as enjoying TES games, you have the right to criticize it. Complaints are valid, and gatekeeping those who do complain is how you kill a fanbase, as people grow tired of incessant fanboys claiming righteous indignation over genuine criticism. There's flaws in everything, including life, and what will you tell those who criticize their lives? Don't like it, stop living? The absurdity of it is enough to rise a chuckle out of me.

[@lordmaniac9775]

@@thetimesword8092 , don't get me wrong, its OK to criticize something from your hobby (eg. a videogame), maybe whoever is part of the thing (in this case Zenimax/bethesda) and take the criticism and use it to improve their next project. I wouldn't exactly call myself a fanboy, but some people treat Skyrim like the worst TES game. Even worse than ESO, even worse than Legends, somehow even worse than Blades. They act as if the game is unplayabe without mods (though with USLEP/USSEP thats true to some degree) or that Bethesda simplified the series for new fans, or stripped back features to make development easier or unesseccarily retconned lore (though they do that sometimes). I don't have any problems with people modding Skyrim to be more immersive or to be more lore friendly, or to add Thomas the Tank Engine into the game or adding Macho Man Randy Savage into the game, or installing Sex Lab into their game. it's THEIR game, they're free to do so. But people will make their games "lore friendly" by adding shit from Morrowind or Oblivion, because they're nostalgic for those games, with no real respect to the actual lore. I like the work behind Skywind and Skyblivion, I see it as real effort and passion put into remaking classic games, I also like the Beyond Skyrim series where they give you the option to return to a former province in Skyrim's time with speculative quests and events, but more respectful to the lore. I also don't mind people just adding stuff from Morrowind and Oblivion because they like the games and want to see stuff from those games return in Skyrim, but they don't have to act so smug about it and disguise it as "fixing Skyrim's unfaitful lore". You want respectul lore or whatever? Read a book or someting. TES gameplay will always be different from the lore. Tough, you also got the opposite end of the spectrum who would defend basegame skyrim with their lives and abhorr adding gameplay changing mods into the game. I think both groups are stupid.

[@kazmark_gl8652]

That's what I was thinking, like Errosion alone would have buried the Anchor sites hundreds of years before Skyrim starts. and absolutely no wooden structure would survive more then a century without someone maintaining it. hell even for Oblivion and Morrowind stuff it's been 100 years.

[@christophertaylor9100]

[@jss2a98aj]

@@alenmack3471 Mostly implementation. I think the other one uses portals that are walked through rather than dialog to select the location. There are configurable teleport costs, a quest line, and addons for modded locations with SWIFT. Ultimately it is user preference, I just liked SWIFT enough to port it rather than using the other mod.

[@levifowler7933]

I have a concern about the locations. Throughout world history, when a site has been abandoned, people have taken the resources from it. Mausoleum of Halicarnassus was dismantled to make forts during the Muslim invasion of North Africa, and those forts were dismantled after the capture of Jerusalem by European crusaders to make their own forts. Things become buried quickly as soil compresses and dust covers them. Pathways from 50 years ago maybe feet underground if the soil is soft. While I love the idea of this location mods, it would be absurd if most of these things still stood

[@johnmccall4528]

Most, if not all of the examples you gave are either actively maintained or are in an environment that helps preserve them. 99% of the time if you leave a structure of any kind uninhabited and not looked after then it will be reclaimed by nature eventually. It's only a matter of time.

[@persephoneunderground845]

It's a fair point, but also plenty of these things stick around, but maybe should be more rare. Though honestly it's more fun to have the reminders of interesting history in the game than not, realism aside. Say their magical nature preserved them partially or something :p

Fantastic video and editing! But, if i can give my two cents: -the Oblivion gates could've easily been removed during the time span between Oblivion and Skyrim. So, while the mod is indeed immersive, i don't think it's really lore breaking to not have it. -the Dark Anchors do not leave the "metal" parts on the ground while disappearing in ESO, so only the Dolmen itself should really remain, and after a thousand years, they could easily be buried or destroyed completely. -while it would make sense to have Clannfears, Scamps and Daedroths as summonable creatures, it wouldn't really make sense for them to be roaming the land without being bound to a summoner, considering the Oblivion Crysis is long gone by Skyrim events. Scattered ones would've probably been killed in that time span, either by Men/Mer or by other wild creatures. -to Old Windhelm applies the same logic as Oblivion gates, the ruins of the city could've easily been removed, but the Barrow entrance is a nice addition. -isn't Karstaag a ghost in Elder Scrolls V? cause he's been killed by the Nerevarine in Elder Scrolls III. So him having a physical body doesn't make sense. All of the other mods are pretty nice. I especially liked the way ESO handled fast travel, so wayshrines are a really nice addition, Morrowind creatures too, even Minotaurs i'd say.

@@TheDarkblue57 There's also the travels series for which there are (understandably) very few mods, but in which you also visit Skyrim

[@loothoarders9952]

@Heavy Burns I love this video, you should definitely do a game change that has a lot of lore friendly mods from previous Elder Scrolls games that adds creatures, location, armors and weapons, and quests mods that would fit into Skyrim’s world.

[@XGoldenx03]

Just stumbled onto the channle and just started the binge. Mods and the modders who made them just make this game live on

[@jimtziv196]

Keep up the good work! I hope your next video remasters/enhances Whiterun.

[@HeavyBurns]

Thanks! And it might be a future video soon :)

[@starryskies9655]

There’s also an Elder Scrolls Legends Imports mod that dropped recently

[@carlzer9469]

Wait so like caravan card game but in skyrim?

[@RikimaruLDR]

I appreciate the Tomb Raider music in the background :) Thanks for the great video

[@frogmansrevenge3550]

I love the Tomb Raider Legend theme music in the background. It actually fits with Skyrim well😍

[@mathias_c_2756]

Other mods like reforging to the masses , heavy armoury can be considered semi lore friendly or simply for the sake or more weapon variety like in morrowind

[@IsRickIV]

Gotta love immersive mods. Never download anything but.

[@IsRickIV]

@Jeremiah Burgan There’s a few good ones on Xbox (that’s my main platform), just takes a while.

[@logancluer1141]

@Jeremiah Burgan for once I think most of these ones were actually on Xbox. I think all the ESO ones, most of the oblivion ones and most of the morrowind creature mods. Or at least some variation of them

[@trainman5675]

I'm with ya. Theres a couple in my load order that kind of break lore. Relics of hyrule... but the dev puts lots of effort to be lore friendly so j give it a pass. And darkend...cursed islands and realms of oblivion

[@IsRickIV]

@@trainman5675 No judgment here. I have that weird dancing bear spell mod that plays the guitar haha. The only non lore friendly mod in my load order, and it’s totally worth it.

The editing is just pure art. I'm not even sure what to say. It's truly impressive. I can get lost just by watching and forget what you're saying. Not because I want to of course. What you say and what mods you show are always amazing.

[@EpicPrawn]

This is exactly what I look for in a mod list. Thanks a bunch.

[@dragonborn-ex5jh]

I love this videos and I'm a huge fan of you, Can u make game plays of this mods?

[@natsudragneelthefiredragon]

That would unfortunately be straying too far from his normal content, the popular mod videos, he would have to make a second channel to not affect his views here and still have less time for these videos thats why creators don't generally do things different from their current content

[@CorvoFG]

I would have been happy just to see some long dead oblivion gates. It always irked me that they had just been ignored and forgotten from the history. Seeing dolmen remains added also is the cherry on top. A great selection of additions that do tremendous service to the lore and game overall. Great work, HB.

[@gavvy8434]

Your skyrim videos are definitely the best on KZbin at this point the editing is S-tier, just the same as the mod selection.

[@aaronmudd5064]

The editing is so well done!

[@davicarlos8037]

Finally you talk about SWIFT on your video, i love this fast travel system, way better than the vanilla and encourage the exploration

[@-_Nuke_-]

I remember when Skyrim came out! The mods for the game had released a couple of days earlier than the actual game xD That's when you know that you are dealing with a masterpiece of a game for sure!

[@Rez090]

that definitely was not a thing. how would you be able to make a mod for a game that hasn't released yet and you've got no access to any of its assets? impossible!

[@smsmsmsmsmsm]

The production value is insane - keep it up!

[@bloboffrogs437]

Your editing is very on point. As someone who enjoys editing things, I can tell that you put a lot of time and effort into your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@Quizzmet]

I use literally all of these mods already, however, nice editing.

[@RexusprimeIX]

I strongly disagree with the ESO additions. It has been some time since I was actively into the Elder Scrolls lore so the exact dates I don't remember, but I do know that ESO takes place 2 Era's before Skyrim. I'm gonna give a rough guess of 2000 years ago. Those ruins would have been long gone, either because nature has reclaimed them completely, like that old windhelm wood does not last that long, it would have rotted away completely by this point. Or the people who live nearby would have cleared the rubble. With ca 2000 years time, there probably wouldn't be much left from the ESO ruins. Most would have been cleared either because it ruins the view, or because it's free material to use. Now Oblivion takes place about 200 years ago. Again, plenty of time to remove the rubble from their cities if they wanted to. But it's much more believable to me that they haven't had time to waste to take care of the gates unlike the anchors.

[@tjk-goix8513]

It's actually 1000 years Cus ESO takes place in 2E 582 and skyrim takes place In 4E 200

Welcome to episode 42069 of the community doing Bethesda's job for them

[@onerunfun6908]

I'm running a blind modded playthrough for my partner where she had no idea which mods are added and what changes they will make. This video has given me some great ideas for exciting ones to add. It's super interesting to see weapons and assets back-ported from ESO into the game, I had no idea this was being done. The lore weapons also look like a great fit for Skyrim. Are these encountered naturally during play or only available in specific locations? Informative video, thank you!

[@ThieflyChap]

You'd have thought that SOME Oblivion gates survived into the 4th era. Grabbing that one for certain.

[@wallywallace2184]

I thought ESO was released after skyrim, and also not lore friendly in itself to the point where some people claim it must have been a dragon break and why it had different lore not found in the main games. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know much about the game.

[@MrMichi4747]

What makes you think that skyrim inhabitants couldnt just have removed the old ruins, like old windhelm? You dont need to keep every house forever in time for it to be lorefriendly.

[@twee1238]

im actually really surprised that blood horkers weren’t already in skyrim tbh, this is a great video btw

Yeah, rushing... But there is TES VI then? there where 5 Years between Oblivion and Skyrim. and there will be approximately twelfe years minimum between Elder Scrolls VI and Skyrim at besat.

[@davidsauer9769]

@@acaelustheryn5409 i get that you dont like waiting, idk why youre telling me though, rushing is relative it has nothing to do with the amount of time the project in question takes, if it isnt finished upon release then it is rushed

As someone who has played all four of these games this video makes me genuinely happy! Love this game changer video, all the nostalgia hit me right in the heart! Thanks HB!! 😊

[@elanlynn5973]

I really think Todd Howard will RE-re-re-re- release Skyrim after ESO done updating the skyrim parts, they will simply pack the eso ruins asset into the New Skyrim and call it a day. (Nah, come think of it, they will most likely add this assets into Cr3ati0n Club.

[@tyrongkojy]

(Looks at Fallout) Yeah, Bethesda hasn't given a fuck about "lore" in a while. Why should they start caring about Elder Scrolls at this point?

[@NennysProkuktions]

The editing was as usual incredibly done, the best in this niche. I do however found it quite hard to focus during the first part (and sometimes in the latter parts) of the video, where the pace followed the beat of the music. Since the shots moved so quickly, the stops were fairly short and the change of shots came so quickly, it was hard to really focus on what was said and the shots at the same time, and it was kind of hard to appreciate the stunning visuals. Just my opinion, but something to perhaps consider.

[@1000_Gibibit]

Agreed. While I appreciate the effort that went into the editing, that part with the stuttery camera movements combined with cutting once per second just kinda hurt my eyes. Still a great overview of lore friendly mods tho :)

[@bluereaper4590]

I want to see you do a playthrough with all of these mods it would be fun to watch
