The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.
The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

I know this is a Noob question, but...I have not gotten very far in TESO ...is all this landscape you are showing in there, and how do I get to go there? I am in Sommerset and at the beginning.

Shirley Curry Hi Shirley..... Well to answer your question, yes this is all in ESO and he is showing clips from Hammerfell. You can definitely get to the Alik’r desert by way of ship. I usually get there very easily with my new characters by traveling from a wayshrine teleport. I go to Daggerfall I travel through Glenumbra to Stormhaven and the shipyard has a Captain that will take first timers right to the Alik’r desert. If you know where the Daggerfall Covenant areas are look for Stormhaven. Once you get there you can get to Alik’r desert. There may be an easier way hopefully someone else knows and can tell you. Im glad you ply ESO!!!!! It’s been so great learning more about Elder Scrolls while waiting on ES6

I also forgot to mention here on KZbin I typed in “How to get to Alik’r desert” and CollegeTalkTv has a video labeled exactly that its a easy 2 min video

Yeah that’s why I hate nords they’re all the worst parts of a warrior, nords make being a warrior no different than being some random dude with a gun in modern day, the whole reason why sword fighting is cooler than guns is because it requires so much skill and is such a beautiful form of fighting, where as guns are just pure power with nothing beautiful or majestic about them and nords and their love of axes are pretty much no different, anyone can wield an axe it’s straightforward possibly even simpler than a mace, but it takes true skill to master and use a sword properly.

[@nathen4171]

@@mythicmars4848 You’d be surprised how many people don’t understand or just don’t have the patience to master the art of marksmanship with a rifle or handgun. As someone who used to use one for a living, I can tell you that there’s a lot more to it than just point and shoot. The reality is anyone can swing a sword just as anyone can pull a trigger, but to be used effectively, both the rifle and the sword require training, skill, talent, strength, and more.

There's something about the Redguards that's just so alluring for role-playing. Their culture is so different and beautiful in a way that no other race captures for me. Though they do draw parallels, the Nords seem so blunt and uninteresting when compared to the former. In an ironic fashion, the Way of the Sword is opposite to the Way of the Voice. Instead of an artistic ideology becoming a weapon to use to your advantage, such like as a shout, the weapon becomes the artistic ideology, growing beyond what it first was. This video made me reinstall Skyrim and remake my modlist 😁.

awesome video glad to see somebody giving us Redguards some love. My love for Redguards has no limit. The first and only race I've ever played in TESO games. Many reasons, but mostly because it's the closest thing to what I look like in real life. I can't remember a game series before or after ES that had such strong lore for the black people of that universe. I grew up with games that barely had us at all or used us as stereotypical token characters (Barret FF7). I still enjoyed those games but it always sucked to not be able to see myself represented in those games properly. Redguard is proof that it can be done and done right. The deep and interesting lore behind the race made me fall in love with it even more because I know the writers actually put a lot of time and thought into how they would tell the story. We weren't just a token afterthought. I appreciate that. PS Yes ladies our swords really are curved, we love Breton and Nord moms too. Tu'wacca be praised!

i always play redguard, love them.

I hate that the redguards can be underrated, especially in skyrim. their aesthetic and culture is so unique and stylized, i adore it so much. Such a wonderful play of creativity while still using a human race. 💜

Red guards are definitely in my top 5 races 👍

[@silversoul2074]

They're my second favorite behind orcs

[@ljpanther23]

The Redguard reign supreme in my elder scroll circles. The sword is apart of my religion.

I wasn't always a fan of the red guards. I'm more of an imperial player myself. I started doing some reading about these guys and damn.. they really are cool. My main character on skyrim is a red guard and I don't regret it.

[@antalo3069]

its really hard to pick a favourite race in elder scrolls simply because all of their lore is just really interesting though redguards are my favourite by far

[@zachhewitt767]

I love this series I’m just so sad it didn’t get finished I was looking forward to the imperial video so much😭

When is that hypothetical Elder Scrolls 6 Daggerfall video being made? I love the Hammerfell One

[@bruisermachina13]

It ain't Skyrim but this gave me a really great concept for a D&D character

[@cdawg002]

The spirit sword could be the next big thing after shouting in the next game. Make the sword singers the Jedi of the Elder Scrolls.

Soulrender is badass

Man I've gotten back to ESO and all of a sudden I'm back obsessing over TES lore. All my first characters are always Redguards. I enjoy the culture and probably because I always play as a warrior first. I think in TES6 we'll see the Redguards get the recognition they deserve. Even if the game is in High Rock. Can't wait!

[@jakeh1038]

You start these videos out kinda strong sometimes. Like I came to learn basic history of red guard, and I am flustered with philosophy and the story of the world serpent. Like wtf I forgot the entire beginning.

2:47 "I don't think I've ever heard an Elder Scrolls fan rate the Redguards in the top 5 of their preferred races" They are definitely in my top five... in fact, I'd put them in the number two spot if I were to make a top-five list. In every Elder Scrolls game I play, my first character is ALWAYS an Imperial-- I think that's because Oblivion was the first Elder Scrolls game I played, and it's the one I feel the most nostalgic about. In any case, the Imperials are definitely my favorite race (both from a game-play perspective, and a lore perspective) but the Redguards are definitely next in line. After that, I'm not sure what the next three in my top five would be, but Orcs, Khajit, Bretons, and Nords are all strong contenders.
