Skyrim: Alduin's Bad Day (Adventures of Fahdonmul)

[@KnightErrantRen]

Between the sheer absurdity of the situation and the wacky Skyrim dragon physics, that was some of the finest Skyrim stuff I've laid my eyes upon. Makes me want to try out the dragon mod myself now!

Quality fun! The rhetoric of Alduin is of a style that I haven't heard for a long time. 11:25 Small puns hit the hardest. :O

[@tapewolf]

Thanks. There were about 15 recording sessions for this as I kept getting new ideas for things he might say. It could perhaps have done with a few more retorts from Fahdonmul, but I think it worked pretty well in the end. I have two more planned, but it might also be fun to do an argument with Delphine or something.

I would have liked to have used more dovahzul for Alduin's responses but most of the phrases I wanted to construct don't have entries in the dragon language lexicon. Even his favourite phrase "my teeth to your neck" (which he says about Paarthurnax and the dragonborn) had to be delivered in English because the dovahzul word for 'neck' isn't known...

lol an then a dragon becomes high king of skyrim

[@tapewolf]

Given the other candidates that may be an improvement. Though it depends a lot on the dragon.

How in Talos?! Are you a Dragon?

[@tapewolf]

It is the will of Akatosh. (Though the Play-As-A-Dragon SE mod does help)

[@rama-n-i]

@@tapewolf hmm… Does it work with Skyrim ultima?

[@tapewolf]

@@rama-n-i No idea. It gives you a 'dragon form' power, and I think it lets you steer dragons being ridden via Bend Will but I haven't tried that since I can fly myself. Full details are here: www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/28854

@@tapewolf finna test it out

[@tapewolf]

@@rama-n-i I made a quick guide to using it here, if it helps: it-he.org/skyrim3a.php#2

[@angelomacaluso5069]

What 😭

[@tapewolf]

...That's actually a damn good question.

[@tapewolf]

'Course, if you really want messed up, the first time I tried this, I was attacking Alduin while transformed into him. Alduin-vs-Alduin. It got very confusing, very quickly.
