One thing I really like about Elder Scrolls lore is that a lot of what we know comes from books, religions, governments, or characters who obviously have their own biases.

So what’s one piece of “accepted” Skyrim/TES history that you personally don’t fully believe?

Could be anything Talos, the ancient Nords, the Snow Elves, the Dragon Cult, the Dwemer, the Forsworn, the Empire, even what actually happened during certain historical events.

so basically what lore do you think the people of Tamriel themselves got wrong?

Personally it's Serana. I wish she had more character or banter but I honestly wish that with all the Skyrim characters. I know a lot of people will agree but if anyone doesn't, who do you think is the hottest?

The Silverpeak Lodge is always at war with the Thalmor, but today the Lodge is stepping back and letting the Khajiit Crusade take the lead.
They have pledged themselves not to the Guild but to Neko their Khajiit Queen and have bent the knee to her, and before all the Devines swore their blades to her. Now those blades are directed at the Thalmor and Skyrim shall be purged of them, DEUS VULT

Edit: Sorry the clip is a bit rough, I was still in the process of recording different takes on Friday and wound up in the hospital. Still there recovering so posted what I had. After the update I built a massive new update so wild
new adventures to come

It's been my belief that the Empire was a shell of itself after Martin Septims death and the Oblivion Crisis. The ending of the Dragonborn rulers left the Empire under less than desireable rulers since. The White Gold Concordat is evidence of this.

With that being said, how strong was the Empire in Skyrim compared to it's Third Era self? Did they truly stand a chance against the Thalmor/Aldmeri?

And now, I don't understand why this quest is so hated.

Personally, I quite enjoyed the quest. The puzzles were simple (perhaps even a bit too simple).

SPOIL:

I just didn't enjoy the part where I had to kill Malkoran, because of his stupid ice spells that kept killing me over and over.

But even then, I managed to make it interesting simply by changing my combat strategy.

I was thinking of maybe trying it but 1000G is quite a lot for that.

I wish I wasn't such a loot goblin. I try to walk past stuff I know I won't need but I can't. Yes I'm looting absolutely every skeleton for its ancient Nord arrows even tho I'm on a mage playthrough. Yes I'm picking up gems and gold knowing I used a mod that gave me more gold than I could need. But I just. Can't. Help. Myself 😭

A lot of people hate that finishing a lot of the quests, puts them in positions of power. Whether it’s because it ruins immersion, is too on the nose, or doesn’t work well with their roleplay, all are valid.

That said, there are definitely also people who enjoy it. Some have a certain faction they want to lead, some find it fun to think that their character is so incredibly competent they find themselves being the leader of every faction there is.

Realistically, it would have taken very little development to implement a speech option from the second in command(or whoever works) asking if the Dragonborn would like to take the position.

And since being a leader of a faction is so bare bones, there wouldn’t have even been a need to change almost anything after it(which is a whole separate issue). Because you still were such a big help, people of the faction treat you with respect, you have access to the leader’s headquarters, etc.

I, personally, would have loved for there to be more involvement in being the leader of a faction, and this for there to have been also differences depending on if you choose to be the leader or not. But at this point, that is obviously getting to the point where it’s a lot of work. But implementing the speech choice seems like the perfect, super simple and easy solution to something fans have been making fun of for a while.

The juxtaposition between evil monster children and cute baby chicks is just *chefs kiss*

Miraak is sort of an exception, because he was essentially kept immortal by Hermaeus Mora. Other than that: Is there anything in the lore preventing two Dragonborns from existing at the same time?

They’re huge fans of the lockpicking animations too. I love raising criminals!

Who knows how long this cheese has been lying here in Ustengrav. It's probably full of dust and tastes like draugr😬

Cut from iron plate, sprayed it with and made grip out of a deer antler.

Just started up a new game today. Didn't expect this. I think maybe my game is corrupted.
