The twinkification of elves is real and is an issue im blaming bg3 for starting, but this does not apply to jagar tharn. He needed this. He already acted like a bitchy cunty twink.

Apolitically killing bandits and savages in my video game with no messages

[diet-poison]

asked the skyrim bandits why they were living in a cave and they explained the war effort has buried the economy so they can't find work and lost their homes. I use my shout to blast them across the cave and find a preeeetty nice sword among their belongings

Hi this reminds me of the skyrim quest I always think about constantly.

It happens during the whole vampire questline. It's not related to vampires. I may misremember details so forgive me for that. But you have to go through old dwemer ruins and you meet the last living snow elf in Skyrim. You know, the snow elves. Who were enslaved by the dwemer and went blind and feral and still live in the ruins long after the dwemer are gone. The falmer is what they're called now. Here's the last one who's in their original form.

And oh hey, to get to where you need to go you have to take a path that's an old snow elf coming of age rite of passage. And he's going to take you through it and you're going to learn about this dead culture, this culture that was killed.

And now you've got what you came for and there's one way out. Now that you've learned what the falmer used to be, where they came from, what was lost because of the dwemer enslaving them, you have to go through a falmer village.

It's a narrow canyon lined with huts. There's no way to avoid it, in order to get through you have to kill them. They attack you because that's what they do to people invading their territory. You're invading their village. You have to kill them or they'll kill you. It's the only way out. You feel terrible.

If you stop to loot one of the huts on your way out you'll find a book full of unreadable text. Take it to the winterhold college and give it to the librarian and he'll tell you that it's a remarkable find because it's evidence that falmer have retained intelligence. They're not just mindless feral monsters. They have this book, they've kept this book even though they can't see. They have a culture. Maybe they still remember what happened to them. Maybe that's why they're so mad.

You just killed so many of them. You're going to have to kill many more.

Anyway.

Video game with no messages.

my friends warned me that tesblr was dead asf before i came back, and holy shit they weren’t kidding

[lobo-inu]

if you are an active tes blog, can you reblog this? 👀 i’d like to see who’s all still active (and if there’s any spaces i or others could join!)

The funny thing is, that once you know a bit more about the previous Elder Scrolls games, you can actually explain a few things that don’t make sense initially.

Let’s take an example.

Thanks to the Class Backgrounds in Daggerfall, you find out that it wasn’t just Jaegar Tharn that had been plotting the Emperor’s Downfall– but most of the Imperial Battlemages, who were envious of Tharn’s success.

And in Oblivion, who do you face, but Warrior Mages

… Guess this means that most of the Imperial Legion Battlemages were actually Mythic Dawn.

This would go a long way to explain why the what should be the most Secure and Protected (by both magic, arms and firepower, contracts that even the Dark Brotherhood respects, and even Narrative Causality given how Uriel has manipulated several Prophecies) Royal Family in Nirn’s Existence, were cut down in just a few short nights.

[libertineangel]

…holy shit the Legion Battlemages being Mythic Dawn also explains why it took an Apprentice to deal with the Battlespire crisis

[the-mercurial-star-o-vesper]

Agreed. I didn’t even consider the Battlespire– you make a fantastic point!

It would explain the debacle with the Battlespire, after all its Imperial Battlemage owned. As Skyrim and Morrowind clearly show in political and guild systems– one mage can’t do this stuff alone, it has to be a whole group. (Only the PC can do stuff by themselves, cos of TESLore metaphysic stuffs).

And if I might add on to it.

It’d also help explain why you can’t officially join the Imperial Legion in Oblivion, but you can in Morrowind and Skyrim. Not just because of the Emperor and Imperial Family’s deaths– but like because of an major internal struggle due to the fact that a whole wing of the Imperial Military were treacherous as all oblivion, and they couldn’t risk any more outside instability

EVEN THOUGH, with the Oblivion Crisis, they should be gathering as many numbers as possible– because it was an entire branch that went rogue. I imagine half of their internal-command was covering up the fact that they messed up Big Time.

This would also: - Help explain why there weren’t decent magical protections over the Elder Scroll stolen in the Theives’ Guild quest.

- why the Dark Brotherhood can cause more trouble to and around the Legion, like they’ve never had before.

- And why the Mage’s Guild locked down so severely, and bottlenecked anyone getting in, as well as outlawing Necromancy. They were severe political steps taken to cover the fact that the next largest group of mages– Imperial Battlemages– suddenly became the biggest and most terrifying threat and enemy seen at the end of the 3rd Era. And the best way to cover that, is to act like the Legion (Prevent as many possible signing up) and to “Have” (Cause) a major internal threat, to seem “distracted” from all the goings about. (Given how a lot of the Mage class backgrounds act in Daggerfall, there were definitely sympathizers in the Mage’s Guild– Mages are pretty cuthroat in the early games, akin to the Discworld’s Wizard’s Pointy Shoes Policy).

It didn’t quite work, obviously, because instead of blaming the Legion– the Mage’s Guild got thrown under the Daedric Wagon post-Crisis.

[falkreathbard]

That could also explain the anti-mage rhetoric seen in Skyrim. If you bring up your status as Archmage to Tsun in Sovngarde he says that the Nord’s distrust of magic is relatively recent.

Before the Great War and the outlawing of Talos worship a lot of Nords (including Ulfric Stormcloak) joined the Legion, perhaps the betrayal of the Battle Mages had an effect on Legion culture and that spread to Skyrim via returning veterans?

Skyrim Revoiced

Professional voice actors giving new voices to NPCs in Skyrim.

One of the mods I track like a bloodhound got a new release with even more new voices and patches!

Love to see that it uses actual voice acting to add some variety that Skyrim desperately needs.

Ive read a million comments on how this is AI, or an Unreal Engine Render, or it's Modded Skyrim, or it's a Modded Shadow of War, etc. etc. etc.

All I can say is ive been playing *alot* of Starfield lately and theres something about the movement, camera, and lighting+textures that make me think that ***whatever this is*** its running on a new(ish) version of Bethesda's Creation Engine 2.

This seems to be using some pre-existing assets, namely the smoke in the loading screen, the TES Blades music, the Skyrim(?) crosshair. In game development it is very normal to use placeholder assets (typically pulled from previously released games). Any placeholders are replaced with new assets when the game is at or near completion.

I wont do a wishy washy "idkkk guys it might be real or fake??" If you were to put a gun to my head id say this is real. Yes im perfectly willing to be called out as wrong but I'd need to be shown pretty clear evidence to change my mind.

That spinning icon in the bottom right of the loading screen is funnily the most interesting part to me. Look at it closely, theres clearly alot of detail to it that this grainy ass video doesnt capture (or is hiding if you belive this is fake)

------

Notes:

>This video was posted 8 months ago, well before Sora AI or any similar programs could make a video like this

>This appears to be a splice reel, probably intended to display multiple locations/images from the game. The first few seconds and the latter half of the clip seem to be from different instances of gameplay.

>Assuming you believe this is even real, this video may be showing off a game version that is *years* old. Don't expect a finalized game to look like this.

>A while back, there was a video that investors supposedly were shown of TES VI development. I wouldn't be shocked if this was part of it.

>The "dev message" on the loading screen is very funny. Tons of jokes like that can be found in game files and concept art. I never considered them actively being part of early game builds themselves.

[elderscrollsconceptart]

A couple things I noticed so I crammed them for visual reference.

If you follow the river to the sea you encounter a village called Roseguard, which was first introduced in Arena.

(Riverwood was also introduced in Arena)

From Roseguard facing the sea, you have a choice to go left or right.

Taneth is to your right and Rihad is to your left.

[elderscrollsconceptart]

The little icon in the corner of the loading screen also looks like a snake devouring itself.

Satakal is a core god of traditional Redguard/Yokudan religion and is depicted as an "ouroboros" serpent swallowing its own tail.

[elderscrollsconceptart]

I swear to god if im the first person to figure out the exact starting location for TES VI...

[elderscrollsconceptart]

BTW ive learned the original video is close to 2yrs old, and may itself be recorded even longer ago than that. Well before AI was even close to making videos like this.

Interestingly, about two years ago Todd Howard said TES VI had entered a playable state.

Everything we see in the clip *could* still plausibly be faked (i dont think it is), but it'd have to be faked with actual rendering/modeling/texturing/lighting/rigging/animating/etc. not AI
