LYCANTHROPY in The Elder Scrolls Explained | The Elder Scrolls Lore

[@spartanpiplup6229]

Glad you put this video out there. Hircine needs some more love. He's a neutral daedra at worst, and a good daedra at best. All depends on the perspective

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

Glad to have you around! He's definitely a dick like most daedra, but he's at least a dick with some honor lol.

[@BansheeKing22]

Weresharks are probably the most fascinating of all skinchangers. They're so rarely seen that they're more a myth than even werebears are and who knows how deep the oceans of Nirn are. They might be more widespread and more advanced than we know.

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

Agreed! The oceans of Nirn are not nearly explored enough in the series.

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

Glad ya'll are enjoying the video. Big props @gameslayer4036 for twisting my arm to make it 🤣

[@gameslayer420]

I wouldn't say I twisted your arm 😂 but hell yea 🍻 I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for LoK videos

[@dariancoleman7184]

You should do Vampire Bloodlines next. And the Werewolf And The Apocalypse series. From the World Of Darkness Universe It has both vampires and werewolves and alot of amazing lore not just on vampires and lycans but on other types as well just like skyrim.

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

@@dariancoleman7184 sounds very interesting. I'll take a look at it and see if I can't come up with something.

[@dariancoleman7184]

@@BloodMoonInstituteThats dope. You will be amazed when you do make a video. The original vampire bloodlines game is fire to. Thnx 4 the reply back.

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

No problem at all! I love talking to y’all in the comments. I have a few videos planned and already in the works but I’ll start reading up on it so I can make sure I get a comprehensive understanding of the lore.

[@EllenCherryCharles]

@@BloodMoonInstituteyou should say it with the accent and vocalisation, too. For my own personal amusement. 🤣

[@ShadowElectricity]

This is such a great video. Very detailed. Reminds me of something the channel Imperial Knowledge would make. I was shocked when I looked and you don't even have 1k (yet) Also the subtle fire crackle sound is such a nice touch, makes it feel like youre recounting all of this lore in one of skyrim's many inns

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

I really appreciate it! That just means you got here early and get to see things grow from the very beginning.

[@vexile1239]

Lol I'm sure he would go wrestling with it if He had the chance (as an Australian I absolutely admire the mad lad and was lucky enough to meet Him once as a kid, you could feel his love and passion towards animals and nature)

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

Dude was no doubt a legend! He played a huge part in my childhood growing up and you're very lucky to have been able to meet the man before he left this world far too soon.

[@TheRealAdaWong]

With all this lore surrounding the underworld, I really hope Elders Scrolls 6 goes further with the idea. Next generation can absolutely support an entire quest line between Vampires and Werewolves, perhaps a secret war, or trying to create a hybrid between the two factions, angering Molag Bal or Hircine. Considering there’s been years of mod support to build up the Vampire and Werewolf lore, it’s be a shame if they don’t play a major part in the next installment.

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

You have the most detailed and well thought out comments Ada! Perhaps Bethesda should hire you to help out in future titles.

[@TheRealAdaWong]

@@BloodMoonInstitute I wish, but thanks! I do always have a few scenarios brewing in my head that might be ideal!

[@Chekibreki]

Technically they already had werewolves and vampires teaming up before and attempting to make artificial/hybrid ww/vamps(ESO’s Greymoor expansion)

[@chanceharper4676]

When I think of ES6 I think of the avowed first trailer, where you see the camera go underground and you see a huge hidden city under the ground. I can imagine the next game has a lot of that and it's full of a powerful coven of vampires or full of different lycanthropes

[@TheRealAdaWong]

@@chanceharper4676 hopefully so! It’s a fun sub-genre within a medieval setting. Yes wizards, rogues, and dragons are a fun base setting. But adding vampirism/lycanthropy adds more layers to the gameplay, lore, and story. I can’t play Skyrim without being a Vampire Lord because it feels like a story within itself along with trying to cull the dragons as a Dragonborn.

[@VertigoRoses]

This video is just… amazing. so so amazingly well done and informative. ive played all the elder scrolls games, including arena and daggerfall when they were steam released, and even i learned a LOT while watching this. thank you for this great video.

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

Thank you, I'm really glad you got something out of these! Working on a few other videos at the moment and one of them is another TES video that'll be way more in depth than any of my other videos. HINT: Necromancy

Really happy to have you around! We try to keep it chill here and just nerd out.

[@chanceharper4676]

Imagine ES6 has 2 provinces and an ocean between them you can sail. In this game you can become different werebeasts. So you become a wereshark and you can swim really fast and can attack ships. Dude. A werebat or werevulture and you can fly. Thank God for mods, flying as a vampire lord is awesome, especially coupled with predator night vision.

[@jrockerlindberg]

Very interesting. This made my day go along easier.

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

[@Chadimus2676]

[@vexile1239]

[@vexile1239]

I like to call it the iron dagger of nazeem and I drop it on the ground then dump the dagger into the oceans of ink

[@RayOfSunhine2012]

In my most recent playthrough of modded skyrim, i went to sleep and i got a prompt saying my character dreamt a dream of meeting the daedric prince of the hunt and offered a goblet of blood and was given the choice to refuse the goblet or drink it. I drank it and became were bear, i was given a choice between the wolf or bear varient, since ive always thought the wear bear was cool. Didnt even know that could happen but was surprised and accepted it as part of my roleplay. I plan on curing it eventually. But it helps stave off hunger on survival mode since not all food eliminates hunger only very specific cooked food does and its not easy staying stocked on food so if im desperate enough i just transform and feast on bandits and wild animals

[@ronniecorbett6306]

Elder Scrolls is great. Peace

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

Glad to have you! Plenty more to come in the future.

[@user-wolfman_lets_play]

Hope my mic volume was a little better this time by the way. Thanks for the suggestion last video.

[@eliirrii]

Argonians become bigger reptiles, kajiits become bigger cats, but why is it that humans (Apes) become wolves (dogs)? Wouldn't make more sense if humans became were-apes or were-gorrillas?

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

Good point and logically would make sense but it’s probably just because bigger lizards and cats looks cool lol

[@DrNatemiester]

Great video. Subscribed. How do you have so few subscribers and so much talent? Dark Lore Dash, #Camelworks, or another ES influencer should give you a shoutout. Even if you didn’t produce it, you’re still a great narrator.

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

I'm just a newbie still trying to figure this out, but I really appreciate the encouragement!

[@Miss_Camel]

For everyone who’s been both vampire lord AND werewolf, what’s your preference? Just a newbie being genuinely curious.

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

Great question! Personally, I'd rather be a vampire because I really like the lore and it fits my assassin play style.

[@EllenCherryCharles]

@@BloodMoonInstituteI just suck (pun intended) at being a vampire. I mean I always do that first, so that serana is a permanent follower and I can hire others as well, but it’s just so much less satisfying! Being a wolf is pure adrenaline, the “feed” prompt isn’t secretive, it’s in a glorious, bloody battle. LOL I don’t know what that says about me as a person…

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

I'm starting to see some correlation here. Vampires=introverts and Werewolves=extroverts perhaps

[@EllenCherryCharles]

@@BloodMoonInstitute maybe so? I’m absolutely an introvert, deeply anxious and paranoid and prefer to be with myself above all others, but I’m excellent and charismatic when forced into a social situation. I do need to hibernate for days afterwards, though. But I’m for sure confrontational and aggressive when provoked, so maybe…easily angered introvert? In person, anyway. Not very easily provoked online, as I have no social media. Besides, I can’t give someone a death stare via text. Unfortunately. lol

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

Maybe not a death stare but a stern talking to is sometimes much more deadly

[@GaMeRfReAkLIVE]

@@BloodMoonInstitute i did indeed, thank you

[@chemputer]

This is well done, I am unsure about the fire in the background (it's just a loop and it can get annoying when you notice that), but the only advice I can give, and I generally don't care too much about pronunciation but you put *way* too much emphasis on the last letter of certain words and that's jarring. Fadomai is pronounced similar to Padome, Nirni isn't Nirn-I, it's Nirni, like Nirn-e. Other than working on pronunciation and either using a procedurally generated non-repeating fire sound or ditching it, I can't really think of anything I'd recommend.

[@BloodMoonInstitute]

I appreciate the feedback. Very thorough and constructive. I’m pretty new so still working out the bugs and trying to improve with every video so stuff like this definitely helps.
