"Hey, you're finally awake! We just crossed the border." *Gets jumped by imperial ambush*

I appreciate the game leaning into the “hey, you’re finally awake” jokes.

‘Ah good to be back home’ - gets immediately killed by a vampire

"For simplicities sake, I'll refer to them as the Eastern King and the Western King" Doesn't mention them for the rest of the video.

That opening line as you enter Skyrim is just perfection on the studios part

Skyrim: *exists* Todd Howard: "I can milk you"

"blackreach was so much bigger than we thought" jesus christ no thank you.

M’aiq once met a group of nords. They turned into some weird animals so M’aiq ran away

Nate reading the script: this video is proudly sponsored....(reads who) Nate: Stadia! Also Nate: what who did this what have i done

Note Time - -So, some major simplifications had to suffice in order for everything to make sense, and I ended up cutting out a huge portion of discussion on the Reach. Currently Markarth is ruled by a mysterious Reachman called "The Despot of Markarth" and we're likely to see more from him soon. -The Red Storms are actually something called "Harrowstorms" and they're summoning entities from the original Grey Host back to Nirn from Coldharbour. -Svagrim and Jorunn really don't like each other, but despite rival claims they are NOT at war as Ulfric was with the Empire, they just don't talk much. Muchos gracias to Stadia for sponsoring, they literally allowed me to talk about whatever, which was great. Monetization is also disabled on this video, so no pre-rolls, mid-rolls or post rolls! EDIT: OH MY GOD I CLIPPED SOMETHING IN PROCESSING, THE "STADIA" STUTTER AT THE BEGINNING WAS NOT INTENTIONAL

When I saw that you start in a wagon and someone says, “Hey you. You’re finally awake.” I was like, “Oh great! What did we do wrong this time!?” 😆😂🤣

"Hey you, you're finally awake." I was not prepared for that lmao

Hey, youre finally awake... Wait a minute, you arent ralof...

The last time I was this early miraak didn’t send his cult worshippers after the Dragonborn

I literally love that line: without further adieu, let's do further. It's just so good

The last time I was this early, Martin Septim was a humble & pious priest serving the community of Kvatch

My favorite story was about a noble farmer, he owns Chillfurrow Farm, you see (very successful of course) it took him years, but he rose to the top of the Cloud District

This man is gonna be still putting out Skyrim secrets when ES6 drops lmao

hear me out, what if the great collapse in winter hold was a result of the cave ins in Black reach there would’ve had to been some damage on the surface from that massive of a cave in

I played ESO when it came out, and Greymore has me super interested, and the fact the vampires made a city in Blackreach, and that Blackreach is in reality so much bigger than we thought.... just wow.

I literally screamed "Nooooo" after seen the Stadia sponsorship, but then I remember that you win and stadia literally gets 3 more people ;)

i imagine some modder is going to have fun bringing this much larger blackreach to skyrim

You know, despite the fact that I just went through the carriage scene in Skyrim yesterday I still was hit with an overwhelming wave of nostalgia when I saw the ESO carriage scene.

Ralof's Great great grand father: Hey, you're finally awake Edit (PS): you know its not TES5 when the carriage isn't spinning randomly

9:13 - Man in chair is sharpening a sword Other man is sharpening his brain

- hey so epicnate got a sponsor! - yeah! - it's stadia - *tumbleweeds*

"Its always something..." *LITERALLY EVERYTHING ATTACKS ALL AT ONCE*

i cant wait for modders to expand blackreach in skyrim :'') cuz my computer can totally run that :')

Maiq knows about ES6 but Maiq is tired, get him some milk.

You're walking through the forest alone, it's quiet. Too quiet. There's no sound as if someone silenced the very birds. To your right, a twig snaps. A figure leaps from their cloak spell and says: "HI GUYS! Nate here!" You are so very alone in the forest, and Nate has found you!

On the status of the Holds: The developers themselves actually clarified that Falkreath left Svargrim's 'West Skyrim' after the King failed to protect them from the Reachmen ( referencing the events of 'Horns of the Reach'), and Whiterun has opted for a neutral stance given their position of trade. So what you play in Greymoor is the last vestiges of The West's territory.

This is the past. This is the 2end Era of Elder Scrolls

Honestly just waiting for you to start working for Bethesda at this point

YES! I've been waiting for some good ESO lore videos! I'm a huge Elder Scrolls lore fanboy, but never could get into ESO's gameplay, so I'm happy to see someone informing me on the lore regardless, I'd love to see more!

The way nate says "tHE EldEr scROLls fIVe sKYriM" follows me in my dreams

10:24 aww shit! the reachmen found a den with a gigantimax pokemon inside

Dang the last time I was this early the high king was still alive!

A sponsorship from stadia? Wasn't expecting that.

When you enter skyrim, do you always have to be asleep while crossing the border?

Be honest Nate. How giddy where you when you realized how much content this particular ESO expansion would give your channel?

3d era 583??? Eso takes place in the second era well before tiber septims birth the time your stating is after the events of oblivion.

Love the vid and am eternally grateful to see eso lore content! Getting a little tired of seeing the lore guys only talk about Oblivion and Skyrim as if ESO doesn’t have a goldmine of stories and lore for the Elder Scrolls universe to unpack.

6:28 3rd era? I m pretty sure it’s set in the second era...

Lol Skyrim was "admitted" to the empire much as California was "admitted" from Mexico

I would love to see you gameplay on mods and eso's new expansion.

Stadia? what is that?... oh now i remember. Forgot they existed :P

I'd really love more of your videos. I've been missing the lore of skyrim and ES for a while, and learned a lot watching your channel

Nate: "Wait, let me slow down." Me, already watching on x2 speed: "Oh yes certainly lovely go ahead."

I'm ready for more! Love seeing that notification come across my phone ❤️

3:26 I didn't know elks chuckled.

I'm literally playing Skyrim right now. 10:45 we both said "Hmmm" at the same time. I said it because I came across a gate that is locked 🤣🤣 that was wild!!

Even the Elk had a chuckle at the "Your awake.." entrance

Skyrim 6 exist: Todd Howard: so how many years can I milk this bad boy

"Hey, you, you're finally awake" Todd, you magnificent bastard, did it again!

“Proudly sponsored by Stadia” oh, that joke will never get old. In fact, it ages like fine wine 😂

After 6 months and this video I can officially say I have watched all your Skyrim videos. I look forward to visiting places, attempting different strategies, and understanding more lore on my next play through of the game. Also really nice intro of the NPC bleeding out as you pan by them.

I always thought that eso took place in the second era, was I completely wrong, or is it just this expansion that takes place in 3E 583?

Last time I was this late the mines of Moriah were already taken over.

You know, I look forward to watching every one of your videos when I get home from work in the mornings. All of your videos are not only very well made but they are also interesting. I appreciate what you do and the passion you put into it for us as a community. I hope that you and your channel keep improving Nate!

GreyMoor was by far my absolute favorite ESO DLC to this day. Ive gained such a creative drive from it and in general I connected to the story well, it drew me in and the way the main quest closed off felt satisfying!

Bruh he really did predict Skyrim anniversary edition

"Blackreach is much MUCH larger than we initially thought" Impossible, Blackreach is unto Sithis, For it is the infinite Void

"It's always something." Yeah, like Imperial ambushes, arguments on the road, or being brutally murdered to death in the blink of an eye.

I started playing ESO two weeks before the Greymoor update. I love it, might love it enough to shell out for the expansion. Fantastic video!

I have to say your content educated me more than my teachers ever have lmao

This Stadia sponsorship aged well

Love your content Nate, I've been a big Skyrim fan for awhile but I never knew how far in depth it went until I started watching your channel.

They missed the "you" in the reference to Skyrim's opening, l i t e r a l l y u n p l a y a b l e

i would love to see more eso videos, especially those exploring the lore in this game (there really arnt many youtubers doing it since its a multiplayer game and not too popular with the skyrim purists)

I actually finally get one of your videos when they come out I normally get them like an hour after they are released

when your friend plays ESO and you want to be able to talk about it with him so you spend all day watching vids about it thanks for this great informative video

So far you’ve been the only one that makes me want Stadia. Because the ads, to me, don’t make any sense.

I mean, I'd be okay with more ESO content; I may not like how the game plays, but it makes *really* good use of the lore, including some of the more interesting parts.

I was kind of mad lol I got through part of the "Hey you're awake!" part then it crashed on me so I'm grateful to see it here

Yo man i love your videos i have watched so much content while playing skyrim...i watch your videos in the background all day...good job with them and hope you keep bringing them.

Honestly, you did extremely well on the sponsors ad. I wouldn't mind them more often, considering I felt educated on a product, rather than irritated about an off-subject topic. Also, I'd like to say as someone who hasn't played or watched any ESO content, I really don't mind ESO vids on this channel. I come here for lore, and your commentary. If ESO has information in it, then I think a number of us would enjoy your content, and comments about it. You reference ESO and past ES titles in your Skyrim vids already, and for me it's great because I only play Skyrim. I'm interested in all of Tamreil, Nirn, and the outer plains, and I'd really love all the information you can offer us on anything Elder Scrolls, no matter what the source is. Even the fan fiction you may reference I think is exciting.

Been waiting for you to dive into ESO content! Nate we are startved for content and have years to wait for the next game, of course it will do well.

I feel as Greymore is Skyrim but just with a huge dlc

9:25 brings a whole new meaning to the saying “nose to the grindstone”

Starting watching your channel and now I’m getting back into Skyrim

The fact it starts with the iconic "hey, your finally awake" is perfect

I've played through the entire first part of the dlc, loved it so far. It was a lot more interesting than the other dlcs in the game I've played.

The game takes place in the 2nd era, not the 3rd. The 3rd Era begins when Tiber Septim or Talos becomes emperor.

dude i just watched a 20 minute long ad for ESO and i didnt even realise util the end. well played nate, well played

By the gods, I got this addon for ESO, and finished the main quest for now. Waiting for the rest to come out. NGL, Fennorian is best vampire right next to Serana, 😂

"hey guys how do we make this a classic opening like we did skyrim ? we prettymuch cant top the greatest opening ever right?" "tim why dont we just copy it beat for beat and say its a homage?"

2:57 Hey, you are finally awake... Oh no... NOT AGAIN!!!

Thank you for avoiding major spoilers, I own the expansion but haven't completed it yet but I'm still curious about the new lore

3:44 WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY

I don't care what video nate uploads, I'm just happy that he uploads. :)

Skyrim is the only game I genuinely do not mind the studio milking. It's good enough to play again and again and the mods are LEGENDARY.

Congrats on the sponsor brother!! It’s great to see someone get paid for their passion!!

I scrolled through some comments and didn't see it, so I guess I'll say it... "Stadia! Wake up, dear!"

Great video Nate. Just a quick question, has this DLC said anything about the Volkihar Clan from Dawnguard? Seems a bit strange for us to be back in Haarfingar with a vampire / undead DLC but not hear anything about Lord Harkon and co?

Loved this video! Great job and I'm glad you took the risk to make it!

Bro you sold me on the Stadia thing. Also I love Bathesda for doing the 'ah you're finally awake' thing

Stadio sponsorship is a bad idea, don’t endorse them

what is this "stadia" you keep mentioning? never heard of it.

I would honestly love for you to do videos from eso. It has so much there and so much to talk about.

I've been waiting for this video! Finally
