    In the sixty third year of the Third Era, Prince Pelagius Septim II, son of Empress Kintyra, slew a werewolf with the help of Princess Quintilla, a powerful sorceress. The spirit of the werewolf was trapped in a soul gem which Pelagius crafted into a ring which he immediately used to wed Quintilla. Some believe the essence of the creature they bound passed through the ring and into the body of their first child, Potema.

    This video inspired one of my most favorite character builds yet.
    Combining Illusion and Conjuration magic to manipulate enemies in to fighting themselves while sending in hordes of conjured wolves, eventually replaced by the flaming familiars, while trying to stay as far away from the fight as possible. After a few enemies are killed start raising them or wait until there is enough to make good use of the Ritual Stone ability. If the fight is brought to you turn in to a werewolf and summon spectral ice wolves or werewolves to fight with you.
    Taking a large bandit or Forsworn camp becomes a scene of absolute chaos.

      Add a follower to the mix and give them a staff to conjure a familiar. Most followers will use it before running in to battle, Belrand uses Conjure Familiar as standard, adding another wolf to your pack.
      Edit : This just gave me a crazy idea. What would happen if you installed a mod to have multiple followers and gave each a staff :D

      All humans also enslave their own kind. Don't talk as if Tiber Septim was some innocent god sent prophet of mankind who did on;y good stuff. He didn't mind sending his own people as slaves either. He exchanged slaves with the Dunmers as well. Ever seen the racism of the Nords as well? While they did slaughter all the snow elves, the rest of the elven folk who didn't attack them first don't deserve that treatment.
      The Wood elves and the Orcs are much better than most of the humans. Wood Elves serve a pact which lets them stay peacefully in Valenwood in return for not harming the plant life and cleaning up whatever they kill by eather consuming it within 3 days or using the bones and fur of their kill as weapons. Therefore, they have to eat their brethren if they misfire and kill them unless all the wood elves are thrown out of Valenwood and don't get me started on the mistreatment suffered by Orcs by rest of the mankind.
      Khajit culture involves skooma and moon sugar and they aren't affected by Skooma as the rest of the races are. Therefore, its not a problem for them to drink Skooma or have moon sugar.

    • @aviniciussouza100

    Honestly, both narrators are pretty amazing, in my opinion, but Jose adds this sort of ominous feeling of impending doom that Josh simply doesn't have. That being said, I do love Josh's narration, and would still love to hear more of him (as I'm sure many others here would too), so why don't you use this new narrator for those more ominous, cautionary tales instead?

  • @HamCubes
    @HamCubes 10 лет назад +38

    It took me a few minutes to get used to the new narrator, but I think he's a keeper. He lends a nice gravitas to the lore. Now that I'm used to him, it feels and sounds a lot like a great storyteller is telling me a tale while I fall asleep. Anyone who can make me mellow and sleepy deserves a Nobel prize. Thanks (sincerely), Shoddycast!!!

    I found his voice-over work to be top notch. Whereas Josh's voice is familiar and great in itself, this video almost had me believe it was part of a Discovery Channel documentary, which in my opinion was brilliant. That's pretty much what I think this series is. A long documentary on the history of the Elder Scrolls games. Whichever route you guys decide to take, I'm still going to keep watching it so great job for everything so far and best wishes on future endeavors! Keep it up, ShoddyCast!

    The new narrator was a little odd to hear at first, but after listening to him a couple of times, I'd have to give him a thumbs up. He does carry well the tone of the old town bard, which I believe is quite appropriate for the elder scrolls series. I certainly wouldn't mind hearing another story from him again.

    Banishing Potema was as much a pain as it was a piece of cake. Skyre, revenge of the enemies, master difficulty at lvl 40 as a cloth mage. With Lydia, 5 skeletons worth of bones and soul gems, and atronachs against an army of high level vampires teleporting everywhere and deathlords shouting up the place, it was a literal warzone in that dungeon.
    But to be quite honest, I was disappointed with the boss fight. Sure, an army of deathlords and lichs against my own was awesome but for all the hype Potema was making, I expected more than a ghost with a stupid amount of health and could barely put a scratch on Lydia.

    Just saying, a metal band named Towers wrote a song titled Potema, here are the lyrics.
    Potema uses powers, forces, strengths unknown
    She raises from the dead to enslave us all
    So many tortured, so many lives down
    RISE THE WOLF QUEEN
    She makes nightmares, deepest fears reality
    You'd better hide yourself, no one's safe from the wraith
    She'll tear the world apart devour your still beating heart
    Everyone must pay
    Better step up better fucking prepare
    The winds have changed, there's something in the air
    She raised herself back from the dead
    The world will burn, beneath it
    There's nothing anyone can do, the wolf queen will conquer you
    Bow down to her now
    Beg for mercy from the one they call the wolf queen
    Ascend yourself to the darkness, you don't stand a chance
    Bleeding from the inside, bleeding from the eyes
    From the eyes Potema uses powers, forces, strengths unknown
    She raises from the dead to enslave us all
    So many tortured, so many lives down
    RISE THE WOLF QUEEN
    She makes nightmares, deepest fears reality
    You'd better hide yourself, no one's safe from the wraith
    She'll tear the world apart devour your still beating heart
    Everyone must pay
    Better step up better fucking prepare
    The winds have changed, there's something in the air
    She raised herself back from the dead
    The world will burn, beneath it
    There's nothing anyone can do, the wolf queen will conquer you
    Bow down to her now
    Beg for mercy from the one they call the wolf queen
    Ascend yourself to the darkness, you don't stand a chance
    Bleeding from the inside, bleeding from the eyes
    From the eyes

    i literally fell in love with Potema, the wolf queen! She's evil, dominant, cruel, saddistic and have no moral restraint! my kind of woman! She may have a dark tale and stuff and also might look simply evil for the sake of being evil, there is more under that i'm sure... well i guess cause nobody is evil to be evil! even tough she was mad, she was also sophisticated and a woman of refined tastes. she really should have sommoned Hircine, she would have found an army much more reliable than shambling corpses, an army of wolfish creature as terrible as herself and she would still be alive today, ruling the empire!

      When you do the quest in Solitude's catacombs to banish her back to the void she says something like: "come mortal you are strong and you will be even stronger when you die and rise again to join my army" I wanted to join her to make her to see her rule it would be very interesting to see an undead invasion in the middle of a cival war but she is also very interesting and strong woman I would gladly follow her

    • @Elkayra8
      @Elkayra8 9 лет назад +4

      during that quest, i wanted to join her but it wasen't a game option... Still, an army of undead werewolves would pretty much put both the empire and the stromcloak out of their grave! because Potema would have brough them back after their death! Curse of the shallow graves

    Can you possibly make an episode about Pelagius Septim III, the mad emperor of tamriel (now so boringly sane)?

  • @345635356
    @345635356 9 лет назад +16

    Funny how tamriel history suggests that the nord's of skyrim are the dominant race in all to many ways. look at the examples: Ysgramor, Hakon One-Eye, Felldir The Old, Gormlaith Golden-Hilt, Talos (Aka. Tiber Septim), the septim's in general, the wolf queen, Ulfric Stormcloak, the last dragonborn of the fourth era... The anialation of the snow elves, the double defeat of the dragons... I'm surprised that the empire thought it was a good idea to take their central god away, or that the Aldmery Dominion thought it was a good idea to anger the nords xD

    • @Lightscribe225
      @Lightscribe225 9 лет назад +14

      Because there are just as many example of the Nords getting their asses handed to them:
      Borgas losing the Nordic Empire to a Bosmer Wild Hunt.
      Losing the Battle of Red Mountain despite having a demigod on their side.
      Being hired by the Khajiit to help fight the Bosmer, then getting fired because they lost so terribly.
      Destruction if their armies at the hands of the Tsaesci and the Kamal.
      Just to name a few.
      And the Dragonborn isn't always nord. It's just as easily any other race. Player choice determines the race.
      The Dominion doesn't mind banning the worship of Talos because they know the easily manipulated Nords will lash out at the Imperials, making the next war against them much easier. And even if they have to get involved, they field two things the Nords are weak against: Bosmer snipers and Altmer battlemages.

    • @345635356
      @345635356 9 лет назад +1

      wasnt the battle of red mountain fought between the dark elves and the dwarves? i guess you have a point, but i remember the nords in skyrim being just as pissed at elves as they where at the empire. snipers maybe, but i can think of an easy way to beat any magic: the shouts of the nords. i honestly believe that the nords can hold skyrim in a defencive fight against anything

    • @shadowzofintent
      @shadowzofintent 9 лет назад +4

      Alexander Greyling The battle of red mountain was fought between the dwarves and Chimer yes but long before that the Nords invaded and caused the Dwarves and Chimer to ally together and fight back. Two different battles. And just as a side note it always bugs me that in game there are less than 100 guards in the imperial city yet lore wise they had entire legions there.

      I blame the programming limitations of the time. There was a lot of stuff from Oblivion and Skyrim that had to be cut to make them more console friendly, or removed because there just wasn't enough time to develop it all.

    • @Lightscribe225
      @Lightscribe225 9 лет назад +2

      Alexander Greyling
      Forgot to add: The shouts barely help against elves. As proof at the Battle of Red Mountain when damn near every Nord could Shout. Yet they still lost. The Mer simply slit their throats or muted them so they couldn't shout.

      @SwedishYouthHumanist 10 лет назад +4

      ***** Yes, that could work. I'm worried, however, that you'd be able to tell that the new narrator isn't familiar with the TES-universe (in pronunciation of and emphasis on certain words etc) . Also, he might just sound too good, giving a more artificial feel to it. I don't know. I'm torn.

    Speaking of Game of Thrones comparisons that can be made with Elder Scrolls characters, does anyone else see some similarities between Tiber Septim and Aegon The Conqueror? Both are controversial figures who have profound connections to dragons, both unified their respective empires under their banners, and both are seem as both a heroic visionary or a brutal tyrant depending on who you ask.

    • @philippeblais8594
