lol when i saw him my first thought was spy.

@@tylerhill40 Pfuhah! He wasn't even trying to fit in either! So "spy" isn't exactly the right word to describe him.

Honestly I wish there was a plot twist where Ancano wasn't actually evil but Savos was, serving the dragon priest or something

@@alyjahandujar1402 Yeah, there were a lot of opportunities like that in other questlines as well. If only the main writer wasn't a lazy bastard...*sigh*

wu1ming9shi for real. I love this game but it was so disappointing on what it could've been

He's a genius when it comes to smashing things

what else could you ever need to be good at?

He kinda is actually. He knows exactly what he's good at and he knows it. He doesn't try to be a smartass tool like some other people out there. Because once again he doesn't need to and he is content with that to boot. In fact he should be admired for that.

@@wu1ming9shi being self aware doesn't make you a genius. You could argue that the Dragonborn is a genius because of the way he eats spellbooks in order to learn their contents instantly. Total genius, reading is for nerds.

@@Hafer_ Yeah, you've got a point there. Maybe "genius" wasn't the word I was looking for.

My PC is so buggy anymore, it pretty much can only surf online. I must invest in a new PC to return to Tamriel. :)

Don't play Oblivion.

@@frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr At least in Oblivion you could actually make leadership decisions for the Fighters Guild. Not really for any others that I can think of, though.

Yeah, It would've been nice to get all the factions (at least the fighting abled) to the final battle with Alduin (maybe add some other dragons for leverage). Just imagine it: "The Dragonborn and Alduin, locked into combat, and as Alduin exhales his last breath, a surge of energy starts emanating from him "BWAH HAH HA, YOU FOOL!!! Did you really think I'll fall so easily? Now the REAL battle begins!!!" As the last sentence finishes, a thunder (group of dragons) starts blasting away the darkened clouds with the might of their wings. A thunder made from all of Alduin's strongest and most loyal generals Despair falls into your heart, like an overweighted anchor sinking it's ship, HOW IN OBLIVION I'LL KILL THEM ALL?!!! "Now now, prepare to die like the lonely roach you are" Suddenly, you hear behind you a voice... "Oh, he/she ain't alone" Your sight shifts to your back, as you see General Tullius/Ulfric/both with an army at his/their backs (seige weapons, soldiers armed to the teeth, healers, ALL of them), and one by one EVERYONE starts arriving (the Dawnguard/Volkihar clan and Serana in Vampire Lord form, with a platoon of armored trolls/gargoyles at their backs, the College teachers and students, the Dark Brotherhood, the Companions in werewolf form, all the Jarls, their and your housecarls, the Blades (let's assume Delphine ain't that much of a bitch for a sec), Paarthurnax, Duhrnehviir, and Odahviing. ALL of Skyrim is here, all the allies you've made are here. Once the last of them arrive, a chat option appears, you may shout something like "For Tamriel!!!", "Victory or Sovngarde!!!", etc. Everyone shouts back whatever you said. Both sides charge at each other, in one last stand".

It’s bethesda for you.

He is more like an idiot spy who ask "What secret weapon are ya using? "Can i see the schematic, no spying i promise!"

My auto-response, @@MyHentaiGirl, would be simply to flip him off and immediately walk away.

Exactly, plus it's not like there aren't already 2 other Altmer there.

Luckily, Winking Skeever’s got warm beds and cold mead.

@JacobofhouseTravillski he just looks smart

@JacobofhouseTravillski Yeah, indeed. In fact he'd be pretty much been puppeteered around if it weren't for Mirabelle.

@@EldenLord1142 he has a cool looking robe

@@wu1ming9shi Mirabelle should be Arch Mage

I'd say Neloth is book smart, but not street smart (high INT, low WIS) - after all, he's trying to use heartstones to replace his own heart to achieve eternal life, I wouldn't call that wise in any situation. Savos Aren is just low everything. He's not even charismatic.

very dangerous

cant say how many times I've been that close to falling off the bridge. funny enough once the dremora that was summoned for the master conjuration test attacked acano after a dragon attack and accano fell straight off the bridge into the glacial abyss below :P

Well, it did, didn't it? Only had to wait a bit until that eager DB showed up.

or a badly designed questline

@@burritodog3634 i will somewhat defend bethesda on the fact that they had to cut tons of content from the game, especially since the game already runs like ass on Ps3 and Xbox 360

@@jamesbudd3096 i mean, the story and plot content wouldn't have anything to do with performance, unless they were initially planning something huge for that quest. There just seems to be big plot holes with the Psijic guys and what the Eye actually is, and how you can become archmage and barely use magic at all.

@@burritodog3634 i fully agree with that, i just said ima somewhat defend them. The mages guild in oblivion and the college of winterhold were both disappointments

@@ceasefire2825 - I mean, it looks KIND of cool, but that's about it. I personally think Castle Volkihar looks the coolest. Just look at the damn bedroom you get after killing Harkon.

to be fair malyn went insane because of azura. and the caller wanted to expand her power at any cost. falion though, great guy. and a huge asset to the college. also your forgetting nelacar who also left the college but stayed in winterhold.

He's not actually in charge of them nor is he responsible for their actions though. Also Malyn Varen was killing students for his experiments which resulted in a pile of corpses and a pretty shitty way of immortality. He was worthless

@@Hafer_ He deserved actually. Azura is a daedra that not to mess around with

Its not like going into labyrinthion and searching for the eye of magnus doesnt qualify for "doing everything for power" though. Savos Aren and the Caller etc. aren't THAT far off from each other in my book.

@Profit Potato he could've just turned into vampire or lich, fastest way to be immortal and has the least amount of risks is a vampire till something kills you then you're fu**ed for eternity, lich is hard and more dangerous but if you could pull it off and maybe just maybe keep your human/elven/beasty form it will be more than worth it I guess.

I used Sanguine Rose to summon a Dremora bear him from a distance and Morokei didn't even know I was around before I killed his ass.

@@nightmarefanatic1819 Didnt Morokei has command daedra? When i summoned dremora he sent it against me.

@@ladyselin35 He did? He just went after every Dremora I summoned during my play through, allowing me to hit him from a distance, no turning my Dremora against him or anything.

@@belltowersubductions5104 Yeah Skyrim isn't exactly known for it's magic

@@Lucas-yp7li The tragic thing is Ahzidal, a Nord from Saarthal, pioneered magic, and specifically enchanting, to the point Neloth uses some of his principles in the Staff Enchanter and freely admits that no modern enchanting rivals the work of this one guy who was contemporaries with the Snow Prince. They had one of the greatest enchanters IN ALL OF HISTORY, they had a god of Language, Knowledge and Magic in Jhunal... And then they caught massive hubris and decided that was a "merrish thing" and the Thu'um was superior... And promptly got their ass kicked three-and-four ways by a caravan guard hireling of Indoril, a netch-herder's back-alley whore-son, an orphanage-princess with a temper like a storm, and a psijic intern from a fishing village. You'd think after their Voices got humiliated that hard by the most "D&D party with tragic edgy backstories" crew, they'd invest a bit into magic again, but nope, they just doubled down on the copium that magic is a dirty trick for cowards.

IIRC the college had nothing to do with the great collapse. But the citizens stopped to trust on it after most of Winterhold was destroyed but the College remained untouched (probably because of some ages old ward spells around it).

@@vecna2101 Given the Augur of Dunlainn ending up fusing himself to the College's energies doing SOMETHING that went horribly awry, and all the Reachman totems in the midden, plus Dunnlain being in Eastern High Rock/Western Reach back in Arena (and the Augur's Creation Kit human appearance being modeled after a hagraven)... Nah, it's probably the Augur's fault, using Reachman magic that's renowned to lash out and hooking it up to what's essentially a magicka battery itself. I don't trust a dude who looks like a hagraven in Breton man form in his human body, and who ends up latched onto the college's magicka font currents after losing said body, that the whole college won't talk about as if they have something to hide, and who gave Ancano the knowledge to use the Eye of Magnus when he asked.

He is competent enough to summon a dremora lord, so that's something.

With Mead. Lots and lots of Mead.

He is

He should have pushed Ancano down a well long before the dragonborn turned up. Call it an unfortunate accident and then just play dumb with whoever they send and hide any actual work in another city where people can keep their mouths shut until they assume winterhold is a failed institution.

@@purplefood1 Too bad they're of a Good Alignment rather than an Evil one. Sadly, The College Quest line is about the only quest line in Skyrim that is undeniably Good. The others are ambiguous at best or just downright screwed up. Even Main Quest is ambiguous due to the Blades choice on Grandpa Dragon. The civil war quest on either side is screwed up no matter what. Oops, I forgot Meridia quest is undeniably good.

Ancano coming with an army in Stormcloak territory, since the Thalmor need the civil war ongoing with the empire no HELL in way they're going to suck up to Ancano's needs never interfere with your enemy killing each other as they say. Sealing Morokei not impressive five novice students at the same college sealed Velek Sain a powerful dremora lord who raided the seas sealing seems to be a standard spell unavailable to the player Ancano open spying on college secrets is far more threatening when the Psijic order showed up Savos should have wizened up immediately knowing summerset has a rocky relationship with the Psijic order Savos did nothing to prevent any of the events that transpired he stayed stilted and pay the price

@@i-v-l9335 I mean just because stopping a mad Thalmor wizard bent on destroying both the college and mankind using a powerful magical artifact is heroic doesn't mean there isn't room for some self preservation in their motives. Just saying a good deep well covereth a multitude of sins.

@@Doralga agree with most of your points but dealing two souls is still impressive due to him not only sealing the souls but using their potential to create a magical barrier The Valek Daint thing is different because Dremora don't exactly have souls and are easier to manipulate with and it still took 4 students to do so and they also died in the process so the magic barrier is still pretty impressive

They feel they would be submitting to the Nords. But they should be trying to establish trust. If the college and Karl work together, they would easily build Winterhold back up

Not Really. Very Few People Respect The Restoration Arts. Collete Stands Testament. Her Ingredients Constantly Being Stolen, People Talking Behind Her Back, Ect. Imo Enchanting Like Sergius Says Is One Of Their Services They Provide, As For The Others? I Suspect Things Similar To Aftershock Happen Frequently And They Exorcise Those Anomalies As Well. But Not All Of Them Use Restoration Spells So Just Collete As Healer Wouldn't Do Much I Think.

I think he may be fighting with more than just social anxieties, given the Augur of Dunlainn happily gave Ancano the answers he asked about the Eye of Magnus, and stalled YOU from getting to Labyrinthian instead of just going "be careful, what I'm about to reveal to you can NOT fall in the wrong hands" and fast-tracking you where you need to go. Savos' knowledge was wards: what if he was actively containing the Augur of Dunlainn's influence to the single font in the Midden he's confined to? We know that in the Restoration Master spell test, he can physically harm students as part of a "test" for if they're worthy of getting knowledge he gave to Collette already. This would match the unseen appearance the Augur has in the Creation Kit: he has a unique appearance: a breton male who looks EXACTLY like what you'd expect a Breton on the cusp of turning into a hagraven to look like. I have yet to see a Reachman who isn't malevolent to some level.

If you think Skyrim is poorly written you should yeet yourself into the soul cairn because thats a low iq move.

@@ryanrusch3976 Funny that you mention the soul cairn given that it's one of the biggest examples of Bethesda's degrading writing/lore handling. Look up the conversations you can have with the Ideal Masters in Battlespire and then compare it to the lack of anything in Skyrim's depiction.

It's a symptom of the game being directed as a power fantasy where the player character is capable of solving all of the world's problems singlehandedly. incompetent and short-sighted NPCs are basically mandatory.

@@welshlout3400 True. It just would have been more interesting if quests were written with more variety, you know?

Also, Savos Aren's frosty relations with Winterhold is hardly his fault, Jarl Korir blames the college for the great collapse and refuses to hear any different and threatens any mage trying to attend the college. Kralder, Korir's replacement if you side with the Empire, is very much pro college because of his relations with Savos Aren in which they both discussed that Aren doesn't think the College caused the great collapse who instead thought it was the eruption of Red Mountain.

Pretty much

Thor's Hammer I mean Vivec cast out a Daedric Prince as if it was nothing.

Thor's Hammer their power is increased 20 times over if someone who had power above normal or a dragon born he could become a godlike being or even a true immortal

Mathew Culver Vivec achieved Chim and still did not want to try and take down Dagoth Ur.

I don’t think CHIM makes you that strong, in terms of power scaling they can effect the ‘dream’ that is the the elder scrolls universe but can’t change the fundamentals (that would require an individual to achieve Amaranth, so that they could create their own ‘dream’ or universe so to speak). Vivec with CHIM was unable to stop Bar-dur completely after all, just hold it in place until his Divinity ran out. It’s not in exact metaphor but consider the power of CHIM similar to how we as gamers can open the console and add items in or edit a few game features, but can’t necessarily create new game engines or codes from scratch.
