Don't give Todd any ideas!

that would legitimately kill all the love i have left for bethesda

Somebody would make a mod that explores this in much greater detail. Mods will always fix failures due to time constraints

@@Alpine1996 There is actually some continuity between morrowind and oblivion, even if it's not main quest stuff. We get told that the Septim dynasty is in danger, and the book "Dragon Breaks re-examined" even tells us directly of their end, and in oblivion that is exactly what happens. For TES 6 I kind of expect that the conflict with the thalmor will be already resolved (wich maybe is not ideal), but still carry a significant amount of weight.

Yeh can defo seeing the conflict being resolved prior to the new game, for better or worse. Also feel that the thalmor might win but end up pulling a dwemer type move and messing up there whole plan themselves and getting a bit of divine intervention to mess them up. Will be a few lore books like "the fall of the thalmor" or "the thalmor disaster" littered around for you to find and maybe even a side quest but I highly doubt it will be a main factor in the next game.

Three fold blessings of the loving Reclamations upon you, dear brother. May their ways guide you through the trials of Mundus.

I would praise/honor Hircine and Azura. I would respect Molag Bal, Hermaeus Mora, Meridia, Sanguine, Malocath, Sheogorath, Clavicus Vile, and Sithis. I would oppose Vaermina, Boethiah, Mephala, Namira, Mehrunes Dagon, Peryite, Jyggalag, and Nocturnal.

Praise be to Azura! Keeper of the stars and moons, mother of the Kahijit, and the beauty you do not scorn.

@@morrigankasa570 Nah molag bal is an unloved insecure shite. Mehrunes and peryite are way more interesting especially peryite although hes not really powerfull compared to others hes shrouded in mystery even more then nocturnal

@@artje90 Mehrunes Dagon is a Total Jerk. Look at his questline in Skyrim, even if you obey him and kill the guy Mehrunes still attacks you with 2 Dremora. While Molag Bal he respects the deal you made with him and won't attack you. As for Peryite, no pestilence for me thanks. As for Nocturnal, Boethiah, Mephala, Vaermina they are horrible with their betrayal/sneaky/thievery crap! With the Daedra I honor or at least respect, they are far more straightforward and honest compared to the ones I oppose/defy. Even Clavicus Vile and Hermaeus Mora, though they do trickery type stuff. They are more of a "be careful what you wish for" type trickery while compared to the other ones I mentioned are inherently dishonest/tricky. If you are wise and careful with what you wish for, you can beat Clavicus Vile and Hermaeus Mora in the deal.

Damn! That sounds like a really good plan.

But who would tell them how to make those rings? A comically suspicious filthy mortal manly man perhaps...?

@@TrashPanda90914 nah, it has to be a shape shifter in the guise of an elf, who are oft considered the most fair of all beings.

@@TrashPanda90914 ugh 😫

@@gandalf_thegrey Dew it.

I wiped out the Direnni clan as the Kingdom of Daggerfall in Elder Kings 2, and only learned how significant they were in the actual lore afterwards.

Will do! Thanks

@@DrewmoraYT even just in the description would be awesome

I second this, we sorely needs further information about the whole thing so our information over the lore become wholly cohesive

@@Michael-bn1oi On screen is better, having to get out of fullscreen to access the description mid-video is annoying, especially on mobile

Cheers, Adam. I really appreciate that. Glad you enjoy the content :)

Yeah he's got a fantastic vocabulary too. I've got a pretty good vocabulary, but he's used a few words I've never even heard before like "castigating." Such a good word, much more elegant than "reprimanding"

Thank you so much, man. Made my day

Why did @Drewmora leave Fudgemuppet? I’ve been out of the loop for a while and am just now finding out

@@The_Young_Lion Watch their last Podcast on Fudgemuppet, you'll find the answers in the video and comment section.

Interesting and quite possible. It's very clear that the order does not trust the Thalmor, nor the Thalmor them. I have heard a theory which states that the Psijic Order intends to use the Eye of Magnus to create a new tower. Unfortunately I'm very fussy on the details, but supposedly that's why they wanted it so bad. There is also the theory that the Thalmor no longer serve the divines but might be in service to Boethiah to accomplish their ultimate goal and a revelation like that to the Altmer people would have colossal cultural impact that could trigger a civil war. Altmer culture would experience some sort of mass red pilling. If they fail the towers goal, the Psijics could give the truth to the Altmer, and the whole house of cards comes crashing down.

@@ReformedSauron I hate the Boethiah theory that spun off of ES: Legends, because the whole secret Daedra cult thing has been done to death. The Thalmor are more interesting as traditional Aedra worshipers turned into something fanatical and dangerous. I just assume that the Eye of Magnus was a MacGuffin that even Bethesda writers don't even have a fixed idea of what it is for.

@@ReformedSauron Well that and the psijics also collect and lockup the most powerful and potentially dangerous magic relics to prevent them from falling into someone's hands and causing mayhem throughout Tamriel. The 'using the eye to create a new tower' theory is an interesting one though. I wouldn't mind seeing that.

That would be pretty awesome tbh. I think, since Skyrim has a pro and anti Imperial path, TES 6 could have one route uniting Hammerfell and Cyrodiil like proposed in the video, and another getting the Redguards to aid the Altmer dissident faction in overthrowing the Thalmor and then making a deal to keep the Imperials off each other's backs. Maybe not exactly like that, but the Redguards have to figure in there somewhere since TES 6 is supposed to take place in Hammerfell, and it's not like they've ever had a lot of love for the Empire either.

that would be good and might help steer away from trying to blame all altmer for the thalmors actions like those poor fucks have to live closer to them lol

Do you have anything to back this one up? Not disagreeing, just curious.. interesting regardless.

@@batthepunny7277 we Dragons are immortal in this universe and he came as the story of the tower began, then dies as it ends so to me it relates that he’s integral to the story of the tower. There’s nothing solid to give it away but I feel like it fits. We’re never explicitly told the stone of the Snow Tower but an immortal being bound to it seems like a start. May would fit more in a FromSoftware game but eh

@@batthepunny7277 only a dragonborn could deactivate (and therefore destroy) that stone. I don't imagine deactivating any stone to any tower is meant to be easy: a failsafe measure. Anybody else but a dragonborn and it would just reappear later on. Supposedly there's a cave on the mountain but we don't see one. Other than the Paarthurnax and High Hrothgar there's nothing particularly notable on the mountain, so assuming they haven't kept something under wraps in the lore, the most likely stone would be Paarthurnax as I don't think they would make a castle a tower stone. Delphine probably isn't aware of this if it's the case, it would be an unfortunate circumstance. He's awesome, which is a shame, because my headcanon logic is to stifle my sentiment and kill Paarthurnax because I know, by his own admission, that he fights every day to keep his evil back, and with eternal life eventually he's going to eventually break his concentration after long enough and become just another tyrant again.

If they make killing paarthurnax canon I'm leaving. I'm day one buying -100 copies and sending BGS a bill for $8000

@@NPazable if killing the Emperor is canon, so is killing Party Snax

I'm doing the same right now. While I do appreciate the flavor given by existing mods, I've never been able to properly get into an RP mindset. I suppose all I can do is try once more.

@@D--FENS There are some lovely Thalmor mods, and one of them gives snarky dialogue to sass the "man-mer" Delphine and her stupid plan 😂

Yes! Sprinkle in some areas of The Reach & Orsinium

I believe their tech for large planets and areas in Starfield will help them create a much bigger map in the next Elder scrolls.

It would be amazing if we got both provinces, I think it's correct in assuming that the tech they are using with Starfield is going to be used for TES 6 as well. Maybe that "leak" I heard of a while back talking about building your own sailing ship to use as a player home and way to navigate the bay will turn out to be true as well.

@@OneTwoMark the issue isn't how big they can make the world feel. It's about how big they can make the world whilst still having it feel alive.

So, basically Daggerfall? 🤣@@LandStrider23

Nick! Thanks so much, dude. Glad you enjoyed it

That sounds like a Max0r description😂 Maybe in a decade when he fully fused with his editing software

Interested in gifting a fresh poor new player (level 45...just yesterday- here we come Undaunted!)) a Star Orphan Elk for Christmas? My baby Arcanist is named Iratia Sin'Tiel Sintieve, and you would make her so very happy 🌿 (EU server)

(also just finished most of Elsweir, and got the Hall of the Lunar Champion! The world is just so immersive, every quest line truly feels like an adventure, and the rewards feel so .. rewarding! Love my pet imp/dragon too! And I should have chosen the dog instead of the cat a few levels earlier, but I was scared he would remind me too much of my dog lost last year - still a deep wound. All this just to say, I'm so glad I decided to choose ESO as my first try at an MMO game, and slowly discover the world, the lore and the community 🎄✨)

Im guessing youre religious then. I get the thalmor to some degree.

@@brialapoint2608 ha, not really at all no. Just like stories and dark stuff, nothing quite tickles like a doomsday cult lol

I'm a simple man: I see a Zeep Zoop comment, I smash that like button

The best way they could develop the Thalmor is to have them be a behind-the-scenes overarching antagonist, sort of like the Dark One. Maybe they don't want the main antagonist to succeed either, and sometimes subtly assist you on your quest while always watching. The Thalmor should really meet their defeat in the Summerset Isles game.

They can be the main villain without you beating them meaning the death of there order

Why would you have to defeat them? You could gravely weaken them? I point to Oblivion as proof. The Daedra were the antagonists, and their plot was prevented but they are very much still a villain (usually. Not including a handful).

​​​@@Count.Saruman with Uriel being a constant presence on Arena through Oblivion and Skyrim taking place after a significant time skip I wouldn't be surprised if it was meant as a soft reboot for the franchise, and games V onwards will be their own narrative continuity like games I-IV were. The Thalmor, introduced in Skyrim, could be developed throughout the next games until the "Oblivion" of this narrative arc has the final showdown with them.

No one could say

Possibly, but they EXTRA hate Talos because of the whole using Numidium to destroy them thing so it's personal for them.

There are Altmer who've ascended, what are you talking about? Phynaster, Xarxes, Syrabane and Mannimarco all come to mind. Even Auri-El reascended to divinity. Talos is particularly despised because Tibby Septim dropped a genocidal god robot on Summerset Isle, and I imagine that after Rimmen, the Khajiit aren't too fond of him either.

@@Super50ldier Their claim is that Talos isn't a god. It's obviously wrong, but given that Tiber Septim was a warmongering conqueror who nuked Rimmen and Alinor with a time-wrecking god robot (that even Zurin thought was going too far), it's reasonable as to why they would want to squash worship of Tiber "Genghis Khan" Septim. Given that the Thalmor haven't commented on worship of Reman, who was similarly deified, it's likely to be a personal issue with Talos. Likewise, I doubt the Khajiit are too happy with Talos either.

@@Super50ldier I never mentioned Reman. Rimmen is a city in Elsewyr that was obliterated by Tiber Septim using the Numidium. Apparently the fallout was so bad that the Khajiit were still feeling it in the late Third Era.

@@Super50ldier The Khajiit have historically never held good ties with the Mannish races, from the land grabs of Reman's time to the rebellion to the massacre of Senchal to rebellions well into the Third Era. Historically, they've also been allies of the Altmer, the slavery was done by the Dunmer with seemingly no reprisal.

Yeah, after Starfield, i have little hope remaining for TES6
