You know what’s really cool? The Cloud District. Nazeem told me so.

Most annoying thing in Skyrim: getting stuck on a hill while climbing a mountain

I'm gonna be dead before The Elder Scrolls 6 comes out.

Skyrim used to be full of huge city states ruled jarls, who always were who ever was the strongest warrior. Every where has covered with snow, except the reach; and everywhere was covered with the fantatsic nordic culture. Now we have discount imperials, in discount cyrodil... still great to mod the shit out of though.

#MakeSkyrimCoolAgain

2:10 When he says "Harold was born" did anyone else think of Harold the tree from Fallout?

As the guy said at the start "Skyrim was finer until you came along".

After slaying Alduin the graybeards gave the dragon-born three choices for the future. Would the dragon-born become a hero to be remembered, a scourge to be feared or would you just be forgotten, lost throughout time. You could to a video on this topic.

*But then it took an arrow to the knee.*

Is this your first clickbait title? I think it's your first clickbait title!

Calls Imperials "skirt-wearing." Immediately shows a Nord in a skirt.

jesus guy! you scared the hell out of me, for a moment i undertanded that you would stop doing skyrim videos and let me say your lore videos are just THE BEST OF ALL THEM

that snow elf slaughter sesh sounds lit

Borgur went to war with the Wild Hunt and got killed by Eredin

It's been what 6 or 7 years the game is amazing but its time for the next one

Olaf one eye is underrated. He brought stability back to skyrim, brought a dragon to heal, and reconquered the Reach. In short took a collapsing nation and made in a powerful conquering one again.

"Nords of the first era got shit done!" I absolutely agree!!

Fudge, I work graveyards and when machines are not breaking down left and right you are there to entertain me and bring me back years into the greatness of one of my all time favorite games. I get goosebumps watching your videos that are so well detailed, cinematic and informative; it really does bring me back to the good old days. I used to get high as a kite and spend hours organizing my houses, my loot, looking for impressive details the developers left behind and having a blast killing bandits in spectacular ways, multiple times over! Thank you for your dedication to this game and your channel!!

I never understood the whole 500 companions thing and how they slaughtered the Snow elves and here is why: 500 is a small army for such a scale of military success. I would understand better if those 500 were actually generals with their own solders to lead into battle.

Scott: What happened to you Skyrim? You used to be cool. Skyrim: Skyrim still cool! You pay later, okay?

4:55 Am I the only one that instantly started singing Get Low when he said "in the year 369"?

0:07 fudgemuppets producer whispered "dont you dare"

"And all of morrowind/resdayn." How well did that work for you N'wah?

The game itself is great but it feels like it is incomplete. Bethesda needs to spend more time adding more content to the elder Scrolls 6 than any other elder Scrolls game, they could use the millions of KZfaq videos and mods as references, they could even recruit modders themselves to help build the game.

I think it's time to reactivate adblock.

*I blame the Thalmor and the empire*

The title should say 'SKYRIM USED TO BE BADASS' lol That would get the point across rather effectively.

All great empires share 1 thing in common...their fall. A grim thought indeed

I have did everythingthing in skyrim. Probably not everything, but everythong fun. From terrorizing holds with a maxed out vampure lord to conjuring up dremora lords and bound weapons with full daedric armor. I've moved on to Call Of Duty Black ops 2 now. Im rank 55 prestige 2. Its fun.

It still is. I play it everyday along with ESO.

Holy fuck you actually reached 600k subs , i'm really happy to witness this channel grow from 30k ( when I found fudgemuppet ) to 600k , hope you'll reach 1mil one day

Thanks for that first era map It’s really interesting

And here I was thinking that you were talking about Skyrim's climate,

Nords are the most badass human race in TES, at least they used to be.

skyrim needs a new DLC ,expansion

What I love about most in The Elder Scrolls, they take pages from our real world history. You can draw some lines to direct events that happened here, and events that happened in Skyrim. These events could be separated by hundreds of years in our time, but happen in as little as 5 years for Tamriel. Which is fine, that's how history actually worked, but no one had the time to write down every small detail. The time period skyrim takes place mimics that of the reign of Augustus Caesar of Rome. Briefly before his death, and mostly after. A monument of a man...some even revered him as a god during those times. It would be hard not to, the man expanded the roman empire all the way up to where modern day great Britain is today (not to say he conquered the island of Britannia, but he made an attempt, and had some limited success too...) Say what you want about the old Roman Empire, say what you want about their policies and practices, their barbarity. Caesar is my most beloved and well respected historical figure. He did his very best until he was stabbed in the back, trying to keep Rome united, trying to hold together a ship that had already been sinking since he first enlisted in the Roman military. You may say that certain actions contradicted this sentament, and you would be right...but only if those actions are taken at face value. The values at which the town criers are paid to appraise it at. We can't draw parallels to this man, but we can draw them to the time he lived in if we equate the Nords native to Skyrim to the Gauls of the Gaulic Tribes in what is now west Germany. I'll leave you with that, because I could write a whole book, but I am not that enthusiastic about doing some hard academic work. The Gualic Tribes began a brutal uprising against their Roman Occupiers in 58-55 BC. They felt the same way the Nords do, that the Empire is weak, and unable to defend them or provide for it's own people. The truth is right now, that every emperor including Caesar had mismanaged the budget...and now their empire was stretched to it's maximum. Only slightly different than Tamriel really. The Empire of Tamriel isn't stretched, and they didn't exactly mismanage their money, but they had many brutal civil wars that weakened them. Rome had civil wars that weakened them immensely, but they all happened after Caesar's death. We'll get there though. There was an assassination, a successful one, of the Emperor (Dark brotherhood quest line). This ties closely to Caesar's assassination, but it doesn't mirror it. It's the events that happen afterwards that play the same historical notes. (Assassinated 44 BC) The Thalmor can be see as the Visigoths, or any other assortment of peoples that Rome pissed off by deposing their leaders. Throughout history, Rome would reach for diplomacy first, war second. So they would often adopt laws outlawing a certain form of worship, or laws that would require specific citizens to pay a tithe when traveling through certain lands. There where many ways the Roman Empire would deal with their enemies, and unfortunately some of them involved appeasement buy convincing their citizens to give something up. Most of the time though, it was never war. The roman war machine was ceaseless, and unmatched. A weakened Rome met with the same demands would make the same decisions without a second though, and it would beat the citizens who can't understand "It was to avoid the worst". So if you do the Civil war quest , then the assassination quest, you will have played it out exactly as Caesars life played out near the end. In the 15 year period where he desperately tried to manage a run away and totally corrupt country. Caesar fought a civil war before being assassinated. This man is a real man because his enemies couldn't depose him, couldn't out debate him, couldn't beat him in battle, and so they had to resort to assassination...not only that, they where PROUD of it...meanwhile, the citizens where in horror. Seriously, go learn this page in history. Seriously, right after they killed him, they took to the streets and proclaimed to everyone, "It is done!". The roman public HATED the senators who murdered Caesar, a man who had done nothing wrong in their eyes...Rome burned after this...people lost their minds. To the peoples, Caesar expanded their borders, Brought in many new fine fabrics and other imports, Faught for the people against dirty politics, and was the first emperor in around 500 years. (crowned by the same Senators that assassinated him. They tried desperately to get the people to hate him, but Caesar was wise to them, and didn't let them have their way.) Anyways, I have written a book now...it's all pretty fascinating, go check it out. Historia Civilis has good content with maps on his channel to show you how the battles went down from ariel view.

Makes me want to hop back into a nord melee character...

But then it had guard duty while his cousin was out fighting dragons

This would be a cool mod. I mean, a fucking massive mod, but imagine having to find an Elder Scroll much like the one to learn Dragonrend, but this has to do with learning something about the first era. You get sent back in time and have to travel around first era Skyrim to collect something, seeing the Dwemer, Ayleids, and Falmer... ah, but a dream.

I've played skyrim so much that I can't anymore and it's basically just a tool to play the beyond skyrim mods and to get Skyblivion and skywind

Every time I go into an ancient nord ruin. I imagine how it looked back then. In my head imagine a slightly less civilized skyrim. Sort of like what's seen in Conan the Barbarian. With the ancient nordic ruins looks like fully functional fortresses, with nord warriors in ancient nord armor or fur, roaming the place.

Modern day nords: *does something* Ancestors: Got to bump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.

I also used to be subbed to Fudge Muppet, but they haven't made a video that's interested me in months

I would love to adventure 1st era Tamriel!

1:37 is that beyond skyrim atmora screenshot or something?

Seems like the 1st era Nords were probably the Tamrielic equivalent of the Vikings.

You know, I don’t have any idea when or how does the Dragon War and Snow Elves happen. Like did the Dragon War happen during the Snow Elves massacre? Or is it like the Warp in the West where it happened at the same time?

A main, open word, Elder Scrolls games set in the first era? One can only dream...

Long live the emperor, long live the empire!

>reads title >watches video Now THIS is shitposting!

It would have been interesting to see some amount of worship of the old gods still but the closest we ever get is 'By Shor' every once in a blue moon

The Nordic influence on High Rock almost mirrors the Norse influences in Scotland, and the Celts.

And the nords didn't need a fancy pants giant brass robot to claim conquer all of that.

As hardcore as that ransom economy sounds, it's not too far off from what happened in our world that became chivalry. It wasn't too uncommon for feuds, especially those between families and clans, to escalate into bloodbaths with no end in sight. But soon the upper classes got the brilliant idea that it could be much less messy, and much more profitable, to instead hold foes for ransom. These "prisoners" were often treated like guests, and returned to where they belonged once the deal was done. But if it was worse off to simply kill someone, what was a warrior to do? Well the warriors and bodyguards of nobles learned to fight without killing, not unlike how prized gladiators in the Roman arenas were trained to put on a good fight but keep each other's expensive bodies alive. So knights developed a distinct reputation of civility and professionalism, the "upper class warrior" who would much rather settle things in a flashy duel or jousting competition instead of butchering each other.

What are you talking about? a chance to ransom is mercy from a nord.

If you complete the civil war quest line will you still have to do the peace council with the greyveards

This feels very similar to another video I watched... about the Nords

i feel like I'm watching a national geographic history video

*No Lollygagging*

They need to release a CORE Elders Scroll game with an engine thats easy to update & then EXPAND by releasing a new REGION every second year with DLC's in between. Well thats what I would do. In the end you could have a huge map :)

little does the people of skyrim know there are two snow elves left. Well....one.

This is why Nords are and still will be my favourite back in the first era they got shit done especially against the puny Elves. I've got my fingers crossed the next Skyrim build will be a Nord build that its about making Skyrim great and worships the cool Pantheon of the gods

Fudgemuppet you should make a build for each of the four horsemen of the apocalypse

Skyrim used to be cool - the Falmer kept it nice and chill, with advanced culture, badass magic and a proper elven religion. Then the Nords came along and fucked it all up. Yeah, thanks, Nords. Go to Oblivion.

I'm sorry, but can someone please make a mod that adds pants to the ancient Nord armor? It's an otherwise cool armor, but I can't take it seriously when my characters legs must be freezing. I just hope he's not flying commando.

I have loads of ideas that would be cool for Skyrim or the next ES (actually moreso the latter.) I hope I could do a video of the list of ideas that I have some day. And if Bethesda could hear them they might at least like a few.

Sure, Harald was cool, but Balgruuf be ballin', ballin' ballin', Jarl ballin'...

My Skyrim broke months ago and I can’t fix it. CRYING SO DAMN HARD!

I kinda wish Nords were more like historical vikings. Not exact copies but more of their customs and way of life etc

Ah yes the Nords from the first era who nearly braught the Snow Elves to extinction

Goddamn that transition from clickbait title to lore video tho

dammit scott, the title almost gave me a heart attack

I agree with you. i've gotten so bored with skyrim. I've made over 200 characters, spent hundreds of hours and know everything there is to know. I cant even make a character anymore. I get stuck on the character creation deciding shit for hours before finally quitting.

You guys played Eso? You might like it.

I was with you until you insulted my man Balgruuf. He let me trap a dragon in his house! Dude's awesome.

Seriously. I wish the people of Skyrim had practiced traditional Nord religion. Honestly, Zaric Zhakaron's "What if Skyrim was good" is essentially right about everything.

Pre oblivion skyrim? basicly a prehistoric ice age land of mega fauna ruled by the slightly more civilized nords down south and then inhabited with super elemental warrior mages up north who hunt flying whales. ("children of the sky" the further north you go the more elemental the nords become and the less shelter they need.) And they always carry a wind with them, they always have a wind(wind magic? guess thats why they had thunder fists.)

Ulfric stormcloack is the true high king of Skyrim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I know is it's 2018 and I still play Skyrim everyday if I can. I re got it for PS4 and with the mods it's the same great game plus so much more...It is time for a new game tho

What if the new skyrim is all of tameriel instead of one province and there keeping it a secret

Alduin might have just been giving us salvation

I still love this game so much, even if everyone loves to hate it right now.

Geralt and Ciri could have saved the Ysgramor Dynasty from the Wild Hunt

i hope that in elder scrolls 6 they make it so the stormcloaks won nad ulfric returned the nords to how they were.

I really need to play this game. I always start then fall down the rabbit hole of mods. I also can not stick to one build I like doing alot of everything.

Had me scared.. was thinking you were goin to say you’d lost interest in Skyrim lol

i have a dought, where the White elfs ruled by dragons?

this was almost bordering on clickbait but the video is really good. well played

>when you have to spend 30 seconds making up excuses for your clickbait title

Now I just need an Ancient Nord build, from the very first days of Tamriel. IMAGINE! He'd be a hulking Nord, and would be awoken by... the Ancient Nordic god of time (I don't know the pantheon, I'm so so sorry ;-;) to fight back against his mortal enemy Alduin. HE REMEMBERS AND HE IS A REMORSELESS, BADASS WARRIOR OF DOOM TO ALL DRAGONS AND ELVES. Death to the Falmer!

I thought I heard you say something about Nords used to cut out peoples tongues in one of your streams. If so why was this not included? Lol

25% Resistance to frost damage.

Can u send me a link to the map you used? Never seen such a detailed map of Tamriel

Make Skyrim Great Again!

Me: *sees title* GoBaL WaRmInG

And people say Skyrim couldn't defeat the Aldmeri Dominion on their own. Look at what they did before all those milk-drinking southerners started holding them back.

The year 369 damn he died let me let me hear it one more time 🎶 🎶

i just wanna know when you started your chanel epic vid

What was that lumbering giant creature at 1:38?

Everything became chill after the war...in the year 420
