There's something beautifully funny about a god whisking you away to the sky to talk but not accounting for the insanely loud wind drowning out their voice.

Can we just take a second to appreciate the animation of Umaril switching his sword from the right to the left hand to swipe at you from a different angle and then pass it back to his right hand? All in one fluid motion.
That is amazing.

I love how you treat ES lore with exactly the right amount of seriousness.

"CHIM powers, activate! "
(Loads a save)

Lore accurate.

Great vid! I do wanna offer one small piece of advice in regards to the Crusader's Relics: The armor stand in the priory, where you find the cuirass, acts as a 'storage' for all of them when you aren't using the relics. It also has an unspoken (and perhaps unintended) effect of being a 'reset' of them as well: Whenever you activate the armor stand to get the items back, the game recalculates them, giving you completely repaired, recharged, and releveled items that match your level and skills, including possibly making them light armor if that is your higher skill at that point (heavy armor takes priority in a tie).

Level 1 in everything but he's still shredded. That mer bloods working hard for our local bretonbros.

I really love the side-tangents you go on, whether it's deep Elder Scrolls lore or just a wiki page on electric eels. Excellent.

25:54 Betta fish and Gourami are air breathers as well. Instead of lungs, they have something called a labyrinth organ. Air breathing in fish is more common than you'd think.

I swear, applying level scaling to artifacts and other unique items was the single stupidest decision in all of oblivion

39:30 "He wants to come with us to Avenge his fallen knight. And who am i do deny him this honor? A bear killed him." IMMEDIATELY MOVES ON LMAO

About the "unfeathered" thing: According to a tale by the poet and explorer Topal the Pilot, there actually were a species of birdmen living in Cyrodiil in what is now known as the City Isle. According to the legend, when Topal and his crew arrived on the island, they learned that the birdmen could mimic the Ayleid language but did not actually understand the meaning of the words. Topal then taught them to speak, read and write Ayleid, and in exchange, the birdmen gave them the 8 isles that would later house the White-Gold Tower.

However, I don't think that the "unfeathered" title has anything to do with actual birds, but is more a synonym to "the plucked", or just a fanciful way of saying they were disgraced or quickly removed from their position of power.

I'd say it's more accurate to think of Mara's love as the love of a parent and Dibella's love as the love of a spouse. Both love, but two very different kinds.

Often forget that this channel started out as a RS channel, Piety prayer joke got me.

Everyone is an expert on not-dying, until the exact moment they are not.

That "what the hell, Talos. I'm level three" sound so real

After the oblivion remake, I really missed how vibrant the colors of OG oblivion Cyrodil

I've always felt as though one of Skyrim's greatest strengths is those moments when you are just wandering through the wilderness, ambient music playing in the background, moons hanging in the sky. Those moment's we're always some of the most memorable in the game for me.

What makes people think Pelinal is a cyborg from the future comes down to the way he's described in The Song of Pelinal:
* PELIN-EL [which is] "The Star-Made Knight" [and he] was arrayed in armor [from the future time].
* Beneath the Pelinal's star-armor was a chest that gaped open to show no heart, only a red rage shaped diamond-fashion, singing like a mindless dragon.
* Pelinal called out Haromir of Copper and Tea into a duel at the Tor, and ate his neck-veins while screaming praise to Reman, a name that no one knew yet.
So he basically appeared in Plate Armour at a time when nobody had figured that out yet, with a 'diamond heart that sang' (which sounds like a mechanical heart), and started screaming praise for an Emperor who hadn't been born yet.
