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.

[@johnbockman6078]

When it comes to game play, very little of the lore really matters or is even mentioned. My rule of thumb in joining a house, and I've joined all three at one time or other, is that the Redoran are dull and their quests not very satisfying; the Hlaalu are too laid back but very generous, and the Telvanni are laissez-faire to the point of do unto others as they would do unto you--and get away with it, no less. One Telvanni leader has a slave rebellion in her mine, so she tells you to go in and kill them all. Instead I find the slave key and give it to the leader of the rebellion, then I go back and report that they all escaped. Oh... Okay.

[@bluemutt9964]

@@johnbockman6078 You mean the gameplay that is based around the written lore? Are you dense or just don't like to read?

@@johnbockman6078 The lore is definitely well reflected in the game. You can see it in the buildings, the fashion, the environment, etc, and you can delve further into it by talking to specific characters. Do you really expect every single person to constantly reference esoteric history or mention random details of myths? People don't do that in real life and Morrowind doesn't need to either.

Morrowind the greatest province in the elder scrolls games that's the first elder scrolls game I played and fell in love with it seemed like it was made at a time before Bethesda got lazy

[@Over_It]

I agree, but instead of getting lazy, I think they heavily drew on whatever was popular at the time. Skyrim is obviously heavily influenced by early seasons of Game of Thrones. Oblivion clearly draws upon the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But LotR was the real milestone for high fantasy in the mainstream. Thus for Morrowind, influences that existed were animated kid's movies like Fern Gully, Thumbelina, old 1970s fantasy animation, Princess Mononoke/Slayers, or even DnD concept art for the time. You can clearly see all of those influences in Morrowind... but since most of that was foreign to the public at large, Morrowind comes off VERY uniquely designed in a way Oblivion or Skyrim don't (because we're used to seeing things like GoT or The Hobbit). Dunmer are obviously a unique take on the Drow, for example... but who back then would even know what a drow is?

[@Doralga]

@@Over_It Uhh Skyrim was out before Game of thrones dude Skyrim influence is clearly Tolkien influence down to the orcs wearing the same armor inspiration is the desire to participate in the media of your favorite work what Bethesda did with Skyrim was Emulation we're your just ripping off someone else's success ESV even got rid of the old lore of Dragons to contemplate the new one

[@yiasemi]

@@Over_It Well, Morrowind came out in 2003, I'd been playing Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 full of Drow and Hordes of the Underdark, a dlc for NWN came out about that time too. Drizzt was popular in literature. Anyone who had been playing D&D even a little knew about Drow for at least a decade already. And everyone in fantasy drew from LotR since the 1950's. What made Morrowind stand out was its mythology and writing that drew on sources going back to the earliest stories of man, all the world creation stuff, aedra and daedra are adaptations of the world's mythologies. And they owe a heavy debt to Gregg Stafford and Runequest, Empire of the Petal Throne and other popular RPGs of the 70's and 80s that informed the writers of Morrowind from their childhoods. When I started playing Morrowind I realised Tamriel had gone from the quasi D&D of Daggerfall to full blown alien world. It never got back to those heights sadly.

[@KnoxCarbon]

I'd argue that Skyrim was the last time Bethesda put honest to god effort into a game. Thing is, it was such a success, that they've never have to put any effort into anything else. Just re-release it and it'll sell.

[@Xolcm]

There are six Great House last in Morrowind, and an interesting thing is that each one has a foil, which are similar but distinctly different. Redoran and Indoril are nationalistic, with strong ties to tradition and dislike foreign powers, such as the Empire. Redoran is composed of strong warriors who hack the government, and Indoril is comprised of spiritualists who hack the temple. Hlaalu and Dres are both trade houses. Hlaalu trade in goods, who have strong ties with those outside of Morrowind, but are looked down on the native Dunmer, while Dres are slavers who deal in slaves, who have strong ties in Morrowind but are looked down on by those outside of Morrowind where slavery is illegal. Telvanni and Dagoth are more about the strength of the individual instead of the House as a whole, who don’t care about politics, who will do anything to get ahead.

The Dark Elves could conquer tamriel if they actually worked as single Nation. They are excellent warriors, excellent mages, excellent strategists with a culture of combat and structure. And all dark elves live for hundreds of years sometimes thousands if they are magically talented. They have the land (or at least had*) the land needed to support a standing army of mages and battalions of warriors. Natural barriers of mountains and volcanos that only they really thrive in. And a mainland protected by an ocean that they have singular control over. They hold themselves back with archaic traditions of house on house warfare. And slavery has been their biggest crutch for hundreds of years and causes their downfall after Red Mountain erupted and the argonians attacked. The argonians almost won. They attacked the dunmer at their weakest and could have taken all morrowind if it werent for the fact that Dunmer are even more tenacious than Argonians fueled with Hist sap.

There are some things I disagree with. Regarding the Telvanni I think it should be noted that they aren't as racist as they may seem. They do accept outlanders in their order and let them ascend it as shown in ESO(Sun-In-Shadow) and TES III(Anora). In fact they are among the most meritocrayic houses. Since their criteria is how much someone encompasses and lives by the "Telvanni way". Concerning their demise I am really surprised no one points out the inconsistency with the story that they were wiped out by the Argonians. Argonians made it up to Mournhold. Noone managed to advance to Vvardenfell. And Telvannis reside in northern Vvardenfell. And since the Argonian armeis reached Mournhold, this story of them slaughtering Telvannis seems too far fetched for me. Especially noting how to reach a Telvanni you have to be a really good mage and to kill one you have to be a national powerhouse. Telvanni Magisters afterall are terrifyingly powerful. Not too far behind(if behind at all) to the psijics. It is far more likely that they were killed with the eruption of Red Mountain, than to any Argonian blade.

Hell, they even let the Dragonborn in regardless of what race they are.

This video coming out around this time is a little ironic for me cause I just recently decided to play through Morrowind again lol.

[@fushigiman140]

House Hlaluu was really rich house even they give Stronghold with expensive Ebony Blade,Ebony Darts and two personal trainers in stronghold for 5000 gold

[@ahahahaahahaha2967]

I have gone so far into this lore lmao... Like in my head. My morrowind character and my oblivion characters. In my little head. The two hero's met and had a family together and that family was past down hundreds of years to skyrim. My skyrim character is the 6th generation nord in the family(my characters). (Yes this makes the neverine and the hero kavatch related to the dragonborn. What? Are you gonna sue me?)

I love the indoril architecture style especially with mgso installed to give it the pink Japanese style trees it’s just really neat

[@marielenapotts848]

I wish we got to know what role house Sadras does for the governance of Morrowind (aside from just fulfilling the gap left by Hlaalu when it was stripped of its status)

This video is the perfect companion for my new Morrowind playthrough! #HouseTelvanni

Morrowind: * fucking explodes * Argonians (singing): I'm about to whip somebody's ass...

You guys always provide such eloquent perspective on beloved topics. Thank you

[@lordreptilestormblade1749]

Redoran and Telvani are both allied since I aided the counselor on Sholsteim who is head of house Redoran and helped Neloth, head of house Telvani. With two families allied to the stormcloaks, just one more family till Morrowind has to join the reformed Ebonheart Pact I lead.

[@rizuopal8153]

I love anything involving the dunmer they are the best

[@Drew_2152]

After this video I think House Redoran is my favorite of the houses. I like that they value honesty, respect, and honor. This video also makes me appreciate that House Redoran is the controller of Vvardenfell instead of any other house.

Yes! I've been waiting for this one! Thanks FudgeMuppet! Keep up the good work!

13:51 why is that dome floating mid-air.

[@d-dh2143]

I just realized: if Azura didn't just shrink the chimer as well as turn them grey-skinned and red-eyed, then the chimer short sometime after leaving Summurset. Has this ever been discussed?

[@meme-yu3zp]

I'd say that was basically evolution. After all a smaller body is an advantage in a country that isn't exactly known for food being there in big amounts. So I'd say the first Dunmer still were a lot taller than the modern ones. Considering the modern Altmer are the race closest to the original Aldmer, we can assume that all races of Mer originally were quite tall. So we should also assume that the Chimer were, like you pointed out, quite tall. (I suspect the first Chimer of Resdayn to be roughly the hight of a modern Nord) But the Dunmer have lived in these harsh lands for several thousand years, so we can assume that their bodies kept changing in those millenias to secure their survival.

[@avgvstvs7]

​@@meme-yu3zp actually Altmer height is most likely a result of of their culture, Path of Alaxon. They are eugenicists so taller=better

[@meme-yu3zp]

@@avgvstvs7 Good point, perhaps it's a mixture of both?

[@avgvstvs7]

@@meme-yu3zp most likely culture of eugenics and path to alaxon, altmer born with deformities are pushed out of mainstream society and live hermit hunter lives while people that reject to conform with path to alaxon are completely abandoned by altmer

I'm glad the Argonians got their revenge. Slavery is among the greatest of evils.

If i could be any race in the elder scrolls it would be a dark elf for sure i love the race and their culture and history
