Also another theory of why Goblins aren’t in Skyrim is that the climate is far too cold for them. Also Reiklings haven’t been introduced into Skyrim Bc of the fact that only 1 boat goes to Solsthiem , to Skyrim and both ports are heavily defended with Redroran Guard or Stormcloak/Imperial soldiers, who would likely kill them if they saw them. Also, the Reikling (which are imo , goblins evolved for colder climates)Chief at Thirsk Mead Hall has learnt how to talk , showing that they can learn.(But they might have become more intelligent due to the elite guards and wizards on solsthiem bc of natural selection)

I think the real reason we don't see Goblins in Skyrim is that the only aggressive, intelligent, non-playable races in Skyrim, are not widely accepted as real. The falmer are often dissmissed and most of their attacks om the surface are put down to bandits. The main exception are Hagravens who were once people, and Giants who may have the same herritage as Nords. On top of this Falmer are much more powerful than Goblins. They are amongst the most dangerous enemies you can find, wielding powerful magics, poisons, and armour made from the extremely tough chitin of a monsterous insect. Then they mostly exist very deep underground, with plenty of dwarven automations between them and the rest of the world.

I don’t think that I’ve ever heard of the goblins given an adequate origin story but I think that there’s three possibilities: 1) They’re offshoots of proto-aldmer that immigrated to the Summerset Isles early on in Tamerial’s history for some unknown reasons. 2) They, like the ancient Yokudans, don’t originate in Nirn. 3) They’re a byproduct of creation not influenced by any deity.

Just play Styx: Master of Shadows, or Styx: Shards of Darkness. It's basically the closest we will get to a Goblin Simulator.

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

[@dantheman4908]

Perhaps their treatment and slavery by the more “civilised” races of Nirn led them to be so brutish and aggressive towards them

[@williamturner7256]

Yeah pretty hard to develop culture and writing if yer always getting killed and enslaved.

I used to love stealing the staff from one group of goblins and hiding it in the shaman chamber of a different group, then waiting and watching as they charge in and war on eachother.

[@David_Alvarez77]

Could the goblins of Cyrodil actually be the result of Dwemer poisoning and thus mutating another group of mer, perhaps some of the Ayleids or even someone else?

[@digishade7583]

13:20 Rieklings are likely an Arctic offshoot of goblins and have much the same behaviours except that at least one tribe showed interest in learning the common tongue also while they are most common on solstiem they do show up on Skyrim if you ha e done the thirsk mead hall quest line on the riekling side which means they do live within Skyrim’s borders

I'm personally of the belief all the "savage" races get a bad wrap. The little guys can get alot done, they tame things, and it might not be daedric armor or anything; but they make stuff, some looks pretty neat.

[@kalenboies3826]

I love goblins. Goblin hunting is incredibly lucrative. Also they a valuable source of souls.

[@torinjones3221]

I think the "goblins a not intelligent enough to be domesticated themselves" is more that the goblins don't want to be enslaved by someone.

[@WarbanderLasty]

Always hated them in oblivion, for the noises they make, but loved them for their hilarious ragdolling on death

[@dontmisunderstand6041]

And the fact that they're basically just damage sponges with 0 chance of ever killing you in the end game. Armed with an iron dagger, but more hp than a xivilai. It's madness. I swear, it's almost like Sheogorath lovingly crafted the enemy leveling system.

[@okmer2396]

Yo wtf. I started a new game in skyrim and made a conjuring illusion sneaking assasing khajit. First time i play like this and damn i gotta say the whole game feels completely different. Mostly i just stormed in with heavy armor rating above 700 with deadric sword and shield or a 2handed vampire with the ebony blade. Or a destruction war mage who storms in with that fire explosion spell and just roast em all. But this playtrough is the best one. But my favorite is still my bosmer archer with dragonbow just fucking em all up. Damn.... skyrim 😍

[@zacharyzwi2954]

I’d like to imagine that in the time it takes to make elder scrolls 6 that goblins are gonna be a progress to a point there on equal standing with the other races and be a playable race. If only Bethesda...

[@JaelaOrdo]

Am I the only one who wishes Bethesda would remaster oblivion? And morrowind?

[@darkwzrd4]

No. I want that too. But I think Bethesda said they wouldn't because to would require to much time and resources. Plus, I think fans are working on doing so using Skyrim's game engine. Ever hear of Skyblivion and Skywind? In all honesty, I think Bethesda is just making excuses.

[@JaelaOrdo]

darkwzrd4 that’s the thing, the facts that fans are able to do it makes me think Bethesda could do it pretty easily, and I think a lot of people would pay, maybe not $60 like a brand new game but I think they could probably make some money too

[@darkwzrd4]

+J Nice I know I would buy a remaster of Oblivion and Morrowind. Remastering Morrowind (if it happens) should be done first and should be for modern consoles. By today's standards, Morrowind looks terrible plus it was only for PC and Xbox 360. I'm a PlayStation man so I've never experienced playing Morrowind. Thus, remastering it and making available for PC, Xbox one, and ps4 would be worth the money and resources. It would look a lot better and allow PlayStation fans to experience the game for the first time.

[@JaelaOrdo]

darkwzrd4 it just seems like it would make so much since for them to do. Who knows maybe after Skyrim gets a port for smart fridges maybe they’ll start remastering the classics 😂

[@dontmisunderstand6041]

A remaster of Morrowind might just make it playable. Everything was a shade of brown, and that just can't work without HD. It's hard enough figuring out how the game works in general, but juggling that with figuring out which shade of brown was supposed to be the walls, the floor, the enemies, and my weapon was far too big a hassle.

[@francoaguilar3675]

I love the music you use it's smooth and relaxing 🙏

[@MaeljinRajah]

my theory on the Goblins is if the Falmer used to be the snow elves.... Maybe goblins used to be aeylids. Then you know all these human and merr Wars that they didn't cause and queen Alesia regarding them is monsters and deserving of their fate.... Kind of makes sense they're the degenerate descendants of the most degenerate race to ever walk Tamriel

[@thomasjenkins7506]

@@thomasjenkins7506 are wood elves haughty?

[@HatCreature]

It would have been interesting to see clans of Goblins and Falmer fighting within the depths of Dwemer ruins for supremacy but yeah that would have put less emphasis and intrigue on the Falmer. They would have been a secondary enemy instead of the main enemy if done wrong. I like Goblins and like the Falmer they always scare me and I hate fighting them, but they are interesting species.
