the funny thing is this little slip up could be fixed by a little modification, like having the player actually fill up a barrel of the poisoned mead and carrying it to the other building and setting it in place, and then the player sits down just to watch the guards walk through the door for the taste testing. and done, just like there was no mistake at all.

Solution to Brand-Shei: He isn't the last living member of Clan Telvanni, he's the last person in line to become the leader of the clan. Similarly to Clan Arthur of Scotland in the real world (the last chief died without an heir, leaving the clan leaderless for two centuries), the clan continues to exist. Lynden Telvanni's diary is, in short, the opinion of Lynden Telvanni (I.E. what HE thinks is going on), and the moment you permit the possibility that Lynden is only saying what he knows and believes, then doesn't necessarily contradict anything Neloth says.

Telvanni isn't a clan that's filled with just members of a single family. It's one of the Houses where anyone can join from whole families to lone individuals to even non-dunmers as long as they prove themselves. Telvanni is also a special one where you're allowed to kill other members to rise through the ranks and the only way to be their Archmagister in-game is to kill the current one. I guess a better explanation to this is someone at Bethesda screwed up with the journal. The father's last name is TENvanni, so he was probably meant to be talking about his own clan or family Tenvanni being wiped out, not the whole House Telvanni.

Plot hole fixed: the official quote says that serana went to sleep in the second era before the septim dynasty. is should be taken into account that she lived long before that and in isolation. this could explain the fact that she was surprised not to find the dwemer. So basically, she knew of the dwemer's existence but not the fact they had disappeared. I do not know the exact date but it could have been that the disappearance if the Dwemer was not revealed to the rest of the world until after she went to sleep.
@nick08753 жыл бұрын
But if we go by the timeline of the First and Second Eras there are a few thousand years between the disappearance of the Dwemer at the Battle of Red Mountain in the year 700 of the First Era and the beginning of the Second Era. The First Era lasts almost 3000 years, ending with the fall of the Reman Empire. That is a long period of time for this secret to have been kept from the rest of the world, especially since Dwemer ruins are so common in Morrowind and Skyrim.

Great House Telvanni is likely a different entity from the mainline Telvanni family. Seeing as Neloth isn’t assigned a last name, and Brelyna is a Maryon, what we can assume is that the political entity of Great House Telvanni; that being a collection of loosely related mage clans, continues. Meanwhile, Brand-Shei could be the last able to legitimately bear the last name Telvanni.

The houses are based on clans and tribes. That means that while kinship is a key point of the great houses it is not impossible to join one. Telvanni especially are liars, slavers and backstabbers so in the event of a catastrophe it is not unlikely that they turn on eachother. In Oblivion theres even a rumor that house Telvanni is trying to push back the invaders but it is not going well. As for Neloth he kidnapped, stole, lied and had others assassinated even as far back as Morrowind so his ego is probably telling him he is the greatest person to ever walk the earth and that he lies to make others believe him.

For me the Psijic order always made sense. The member that interacts with you mentions that his order does not usually interfere directly. He also mentioned constantly that the world was not ready for the eye. So once Ancano acted, that proved the psijics correct. However they were unable to take the eye while Ancano was using it. Either his use of the eye made it impossible, or that was still counted as directly interfering. Or perhaps removing it while it was being used would be too dangerous. Once you defeat Ancano, the Psijics can safely remove the eye within the bound of their orders law. To make a long story short, the Psijics weren’t allowed to act under their orders laws until Ancano proved the eye would be abused, and then was stopped so the order could safely take the eye away. I mean that’s how I naturally justified it. Not saying that’s how it was written to be. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In my mind it's not a plot hole and it's just a touch of irony; you poison the mead being produced, but unknown the the Blackbriar family this made no difference because the increasingly poor hygiene standards at the other meadery already caused the Honningbrew mead to be undrinkable.

Keep in mind that during the first contact with the guy from the Psijic Order (in Saarthal) he mentions that the Dragonborn has _"set in motion a chain of events that cannot be stopped."_ Judging based on this dialogue, he seems to imply that there is a specific desired outcome to the whole ordeal with the Eye of Magnus and that the Psijics have already seen the multiple outcomes through some form of foresight into the future. One could speculate that Ancano had to die before things got REALLY out of hand (Ancano would have most likely continued to seek ultimate power if he were still alive), and the only way to remove him from history is to let him start unraveling the Eye in order to be slain by the Dragonborn. The Psijic guy also talks about how the Order will make judgement based on our actions, meaning that they are prepared for an alternate future in which the Dragonborn fails along the way (be it they die, commit selfish acts, join Ancano, etc.) So the whole thing regarding the Winterhold questline isn't that bad like people are complaining, but is more like the story is incomplete and a lot of details have been omitted which would have solidified the story.

For the poisoned mead, There's also Mallus suddenly being present when he wasn't there to kill the rats earlier. I assumed they just didn't bother explaining things. Mallus poisoned the keg. But if only the keg were poisoned, his boss, Sabjorn, would soon blame Mallus and be released from prision. However, later testing showed poison in the vats in a room only Sabjorn could enter, "proving" to the investigators that it was Sabjorn who was responsible for the poisoning of the guards. Therefor Mallus could go from temporarily in charge while it was being sorted out, to officially in charge for good.

With our eventual success against alduin, use of the elder scrolls, becoming the champion of many deadra.... They couldn't see which eventuality would happen because we were at the center of the happenings. There were probably points where having the eye at the college was fine or the use of the elder scrolls did something to the eye, or a god opened it.... We just so happened to head in the direction of destruction and again with our influence they could tell that we were not the ones to lead the college to watch the eye.... Maybe.

The Eye of Magnus was under a sealing spell before the questline started, possible that the seal conceal the location or the nature of the Eye. Psjics might have some form of cryptic vision but not the whole clear overview of what will happen so they are also quite unsure of the future. They are not omniscent. They do not intervene so they let things unfold, with the exception of this one, this event might cause global catasthrope. They took the Eye because it became unstable and the college of winterhold cannot do anything to stop it so they took it away for the meantime. If it hadnt been unstable I think they wouldnt move it away. It feels like nuke about to explode. They cant just take the eye away from the start, it is a nordic artifact discovered by the college, it might cause complications and they might get suspected for hoarding magical artifacts. They have no rights to it, therefore they didnt make any move, also last time the snow elves coveted the eye things didnt went well for them. Hope this all answer your questions.

Late comment but ultimately the Psijic Order doesn't interfere directly unless if something gets really bad like world ending bad. If they told Savos Aren or anyone besides Acrano that they were taking the Eye of Magnus due to danger. They wouldn't have raised a fuss. The College of Winterhold had influence from the order prior and they are looked at in high regard. Considering how fast they showed up to take the orb I am assuming that they were waiting for justification (interfering directly is looked down on by members of the order) and testing to see if the world was ready for such of artifact. But, yes they are not omniscient. As for who sealed it probably some ancient Nordic mages considering the location.
@SuperBossGiovanni4 жыл бұрын
My theory about why the psijics didn't take the artifact: Clearly they can see the future to at least some extent given that they warn you about events unfolding, so perhaps they recognized some level of causality that they needed to contact you in that moment so that the events surrounding the eye would play out in a specific way in order for the future to be set along the proper path.

1. It is possible that Neloth isn't aware that the rest of House Telvanni has either died or been scattered to the winds, so he might assume they're still prestigious because he hasn't bothered to actually checked. He is incredibly self-centered. He could also be lying, assuming you (the Dragonborn) are just too ignorant and provincial to realize he's resting on some really old, dried-up laurels. 2. Sybille probably isn't too alarming because mages with longer than normal lifespans aren't all that uncommon. Neloth is over 1,000 years old, which is pretty unusual even for a dunmer, for instance. She could probably play her seeming lack of aging off on her skill at Alteration magic. 3. The Psijic Monks left the mages at the College of Winterhold in custody of the Eye of Magnus for a couple of reasons: First, they couldn't clearly see upcoming events because the energies of the Eye disrupted their scrying, in a similar way to how it blanks out the Oculary which the mage from Cyrodil thinks will let him detect magical artifacts all over Skyrim. Second, it wasn't actually *unsafe* to study until after Ancano tried to use it as a kind of magical neutron bomb to wipe out humans and restore the world to the Thalmor's idea of paradise. 4. Serana's spotty knowledge is pretty easy to explain: she was a book-smart young vampire before her mother locked her in suspended animation for thousands of years. She had never seen Solitude in person and it's literally the closest Hold capital to her family's castle. She knew what she read in her family's library and what her mother taught her about magic and alchemy. She might not have been too clear on exactly what happened to the Dwemer. If I recall correctly, she does say that the books she read about the Dwemer made their cities seem so alive that it's strange not to see them there, rather than saying she didn't know they'd disappeared.

Doesnt need to be a spouse: you can pay a mercenary to follow you, and that works just fine too. The specific sacrifice that you mention at the end needs a character to be lured to the altar that has a disposition of at least 3, which is consistent with followers. Spouses are 4. Mercenaries gain disposition 3 when you pay for their services at least ONCE, even if they never met you before the payment.

For the Psijics - Perhaps they saw several possible outcomes to the discovery of the Eye, some good, some bad, some just okay. If you'd made all the right choices, looked in exactly the right books or whatever, you could've used the Eye to do some really good thing, so they gave you a chance to try. As it turned out, you made the "just okay" choices, that ended up with some people dying but at least Ancano didn't get his hands on the power of the Eye. So, the Psijics won't punish you, but they don't trust you either.

Also, the order doesn’t like to get involved (partially) because they want to avoid any hostilities that may threaten their existence, so if they took the eye without the college wanting it gone, it may have warranted retaliation. To them, avoiding the chance for conflict is well worth a couple of lives that would’ve died anyway.

That's what I thought too. Most people in Skyrim are ignorant about magic. If anybody asks how she stays young, it would be easy for her too pretend she uses spells to stay young. It would fool everyone except maybe other wizards, and I think other wizards are less likely to care about her being a vampire anyway.

Wait wait wait. Brandyl is not the last member of House Telvanni of Morrowind, he’s the last descendant of Telvanni family, which is a whole different thing. Great Houses of Morrowind were once clans, with a leading family (in this case, Telvannis) and many other different families circling the leading one. However, in time Great Houses became entire communities, with many many distinct families belonging to them. In TES3 the player can even join a Great House, becoming part of the community, but obviously not of the original family tree. When someone says they’re a Telvanni wizard, they’re saying that they belong to one of the highest ranks of Great House Telvanni, but these people, such as Neloth, do not descend from Telvanni’s bloodline itself (so their surname is not “Telvanni”). That’s why it’s so important that Brand-Shei is actually Brandyl Telvanni, last heir to this ancient and noble family.

Could also be the usual game limitations of how characters and assets get there. Happens in many games, a character telling you to meet them somewhere, never being encountered on the path or heading the wrong way to start, yet already being there no matter how quick you move, or going ahead and disappearing as soon as they're off screen. While Skyrim does its best to avoid this, having some characters physically walk to a destination if you walk there and warp there if you fast travel, there are still limitations in such a situation, since to have it happen properly would require the player to wait for him to head over to collect more mead and bring it back, either by teleporting him to the door to enter, pick an animation to look like he's collecting the mead, then walk back to make the player wait the least amount of time, or making the player wait through him walking from his usual spot over, taking even longer to head over. I mean, think about it. You never see him nor any merchant actually do anything to replenish stocks, closest being seeing some blacksmith merchants use the forge but never replenish the materials they'd be using. So just like having Lucan have his wares, go to bed, and reopen shop with drastically different wares, its meant to be implied that he did get more mead and you just don't get to see it

As for Sybille, she is a wizard. That's it. Powerful wizards in TES often possess keys to unnaturally long life. Hell, see Urag, and he's an Orc, race that actually lives shorter lives than humans. The suspicious thing is that she doesn't look very old, but she probably does pretty good job discouraging too close an inquiry.

What I think is a plot hole is that I saved the entire world in Oblivion,changed the entire future of Morrowind,went to the Soul Cairn,traveled through Oblivion, explored Sovngarde,fought and befriended gods and dragons alike,and did god knows what in the other games all while being a different race and having a different play style each game (I was usually the race that was native to where the game was set). And alas, there are very few npcs in any of the games who talk about these things. And even fewer npcs carried over from these games. What the hell! I worked hard to stop the entire world from becoming a Daedra playground and your just gonna act like I did nothing. I’ve got the voice of the dragons,power of the gods,blood of the ancients! But you walk by me like I’m some random idiot with no purpose in life but to be in the Whiterun Market! In fact,in most of the Elder Scrolls games I’m the only one who did a damn thing,and the npcs don’t give a shit. They don’t even acknowledge me. Ungrateful assholes!
