Watch rise league of legends world championship trailer
The three flags are those of the player's factions (three heroes being the leaders(?) of those factions). At release they were fighting each other but it seems they team up now. I remember the first cinematic being high quality too, so it should be worth checking out.
The burning of the three existing, and major factions. The ebonheart pact. The daggerfall covenant, and the aldmeri dominion. The only one that can he given a clear identity is the Aldmeri Dominion; Elf supremecy.
The knight is part of an order that wants the war to keep going.
Also I've waited so long for this, up there with the SWToR cinematic in terms of visuals and choreography
@AdminFromHell I remember viking bro coming up out of the sewers, fking amazing hah
She tried to hit him with the "parry this you filthy casual" and he proceeded to in fact parry it.
Bro fr said "aight bet" and proceeded to just rock there shit
bruh pulled the nah id win
uno reverse card came off cooldown
@@baconbliss4796Always gotta keep an eye on that timer
Bretons have magic in their blood, even non-magicians have inherent resistance and it seems he was counter-spelling her casts with physical contact and breaking sustained control spells.
A little explanation: the knight is a Breton, and they have an innate resistance to magic, so he could counteract the magical attacks of the elf.
Love it! He's so good in this.
It's also interesting to point out that Breton are a bit smaller and less muscular than some other races. So the fact that he held up that well in close combat show how much that guy is a *very* strong character.
Is it just skyrim where they are smaller or ar they smaller in other games aswell I never understood why they would be short if anything you would think they might be a bit taller and thinner with the elf blood
@@vhirtue0594 Heights have been pretty consistent since Elder Scrolls 3. It's really only high elves that are taller than the man races. If you were a Breton, I imagine height would vary greatly and depend a lot on your Elven ancestry. A Breton descendant of a Bosmer would not be as tall as that of an Altmer, for example. However as most elves (Bosmer, Dunmer and Orsimer) are shorter or just as tall as the Man races, Bretons tend to average on the shorter side.
(Edit: The guy below me, Mason6480 is correct. I am wrong)
That makes a lot of sense.
"I dunno who that knight is, but I like him." This is, in fact, the universal response to this trailer.
I mean he's essentially vader in silver.
@@SanguinaryGuardhe represents you. The player character. To me at least.
@SanguinaryGuard huh, that's not inaccurate, he doesn't fight like he's a force of nature, but there is some sort of relentlessness in the way he fights
The Ultra Chad Knight. Such a badass.. Loved the Cinematic.. That's how we all felt playing Skyrim the first time
I remember that!
That knight kicked three asses for minutes and still got a throne as a resting place.
Respect.
It wasnt a resting place, he lived!
@@claystown2688 Well, he took some rest, didn't he? :D
Don't worry he only took a little nap he'll be back
Sir Pumpsalot of Chadwick
Somehow, this cinematic caused everyone to love the solitary knight, despite at the time having little knowledge of who he was. Main character energy despite not speaking or showing his face, just unadulterated badass-ery.
Nothing cooler than compitent villans. Especially when they're masked.
First time I watched this, even though they framed the knight as the bad guy but the way the fight went, I REALLY wanted him to win
That's what happens when you've got an MVP verses 3 opponents. You will want to vote for the underdog even though he wasn't.
Same!
Underdog? That guy gives those three a mother of a beating for most of the cinematic. Hell I half expected him to stand back up after they dropped half a building on him.
So that knight is known as the ascendant lord, he is far more menacing in this then he was in the actual game. Given you know the games tend to play out a lot more differently, but he didn’t want the war to end given from what I remember his group profited from it.
You are correct, though if I remember correctly it's not for profit per se, they want the other factions to kill eachother so they can rule that land for themselves
I am still mad they made him a twist villain and went for the most obvious character. Hell having him be a dremora or a lich would have been much more unique. 😐
@@kableedge9278 Ah! However from what I also gathered was that Breton’s gained more power from wars which goes hand and hand with profit making. The Ascendant lord made sure to stop the factions from forming a pact as it would put a hold on his intentions.
@@kableedge9278 CORRECT!! think of the The Apollyon from for honor, there she wanted all the kingdoms in the game to go to war so she could rule all he land. this guy would take her fuccin lunch money tho
@@fanuatanumamea2196 This guy wouldn't need a weapon for her. Also this guy is who my current DnD character is based on
Blur studio never disappointed me with cinematics...Yeah, same guys who did all of Star Wars Old Republic cinematics were hired to promote TES and it was clearly perfect idea.
This was blur? Well that explains a lot. They absolutely killed it with Halo 2A.
That's why it looks and feels like it does!! I totally didn't know that. Epic.
It’s also the same studio If I’m correct who has done all of the crazy halo cinematics, halo wars included
Even after the debris crushed him he was still sitting like a king. The true protagonist
All i can hear watching this is "Some day, love will find you. Break those, chains that bind you!"
That knight its too angry to die
Those animals invaded his domain, I’d be angry too, they had it coming.
I've wanted an animated series by this studio since the first trailer. And they are well worth watching in order, there is a storyline between a lot of them.
One thing that you didn’t mention is that every single interaction interaction between the Knight and the other character is meant to show the viewer that he is just as good at what each of the protagonists specialize in as they are. When he fights the rogue the shots emphasize his blade work he beats the barbarian with pure brute strength, and the when he overcomes the mage shows he has fought so many mages that he instinctively knows how to react to spell casters.
22:00 his pose is also a reference to a previous trailer which ends with him sitting on a throne
"You're outnumbered" "then it is a fair fight"
The heroes: “You’re out-manned!”
The knight: “You’re outmatched.”
It's even better because it is actually 3 to 1 in both situations.🤣
there is a story in the cinematics so best to start at the beginning. its really good.
What is the first cinematic called please?
@@kaizammit IIRC, the first one is called "The Alliances". And there are a lot of cinematics with those three heroes "telling" their story in the world of Elder Srolls.
@@kaizammit There's a supercut of the first ones called "Three Fates"
"wow, what a dude"
Chuckled hard at that lol, about sums it up
"What do the three coloured flags mean at the beginning?"
Three factions fighting a three-way battle will burn in the flames of war among themselves. They are equal among themselves, and therefore they will burn to the ground.
Incorrect. The Daggerfall Covenant and Ebonheart Pact may be equal, but equally inferior to the Aldmeri Dominion.
@@TattleDelta In any case, the game features a three-way war, and the factions do not have advantages over each other.
@@Sergey42615 Once again, incorrect. The Aldmeri Dominion has Altmer. which is a clear advantage in any scenario.
@@TattleDelta Mate, Altmer aren't the end-all-be-all of Elder Scrolls lore. The Third Aldermi Dominion couldn't even defeat a battered and bruised Septim Empire that didn't even have a septim on the throne.
@@hypermaeonyx4969 Incorrect.
2:59 - Your intuitions are solid. There's no "good guy" here, each one of them is the faction representative for the three main political factions. The very first trailer has the three of them fighting each other until a new threat emerges that they tackle together. For someone not familiar with the game series, the fact that the common enemy is in Steel armor and is this strong shows something more is going on. Steel is the second tier up from the bottom in heavy armor.
The Aldmeri Dominion is the only good faction.
@@TattleDelta (That's the faction I play as well. XD)
@Tattletale_ never start spats with the Ebonheart Pact
Or you'll never ever ever get your severed arm back
You fr know you’re fucked when your Nord tank is getting beat down in hand to hand combat
They're all this high-quality visually, but IMO this is by far the most compelling cinematic they've done. You show this to anyone and they'll agree that was just a fucking cool fight scene.
As others have said, you need to watch these in order to really appreciate them. While there isn't a ton of story in the cinematics, there is more than enough to get you invested in The Three, and this trailer was especially crazy at the time because of how that Breton was handling them.
Alternatively to watching them in order, you can find a super cut of them, it should be around one hour in length (maybe longer with new expansions), which I recommened, since there are over a dozen cinematics to keep track of.
These are the first four and are probably the most connected storywise.
The Alliance
The Arrival
The Siege
The Confrontation
You can also watch them in a super cut version called "The Three Fates" it's 23 minutes and uploaded on Bethesda's official channels.
The three characters fighting the knight are the "champions" (read: you) of the three ingame factions, who have been at odds with each other and united in purpose against outside threats. The knight is the defender of High Isle, an island holdfast of High Rock (homeland of the Bretons who are Men with Elf ancestry so they have magic resistance and such) and have a very traditional medieval society with tournaments, knightly orders, castles and lords, etc. This expansion was a lot of fun, and yes, all of the cinematics are to this quality, they are all amazing.
That brother deserves a movie on his backstory the way he fights my goodness
This was my favourite of the elder scrolls online cinematics. I do kinda recall one with werewolves that might be of interest to you (i think its called the alliances at war) :)
Also love the work mate. I've never been into film analysis but I enjoy having you break down concepts into easily digestable, bite sized pieces.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. Educators don't need to be boring and go over the top. Just simple, straight to the point and deliver it in your own style. My delivery is excitement for the craft of storytelling. I'm like a little child and I love it. Thank you for watching. KZ
Why is the breakdown shown twice in the video? More on point however, I love how he didn't cast a spell that just so happened to be stronger than hers, or slap her hand into herself, he just simply reached up and closed her hand mid-cast, causing it to catastrophically backfire on her.
One is just a reaction and the second is where I break it down with the hand cursor.
YES. ESO has some incredible cinematic trailers. I hiiighly recommend watching the main three. And fantastic video!
They really are rad, but God don't do them all in reverse release order xD The first three (I think) are a story told together.
What's it called please so I can react to it soon. KZ
@@kaizammit the alliances, the arrival and three fates, in that order
"Tis but a scratch!"
"A scratch?!"
Monty Python and the Holy Grail!
Just a fresh wound
I love the added detail of when the smaller guy nearly falls off, it shows that drop off as deadly. Then later on the Knight is about to USE that same sheer drop to kill the bigger guy, so it's actually an ON GOING threat to all parties involved.
niiiice! this series of cinematics is so great. i think i saw in the comments youre planning to watch from the beginning, youre not going to be disappointed thats for sure. hope all is well brotha! crispy clean quality as usual
Thanks dude!! I think I've got too. This blew me away, this for me was an epic little lord of the rings type adventure and I can get behind that. Hope baby and the family are all well. Still loving those random shares you do on Insta.
A nord losing to a breton in a fistfight is hilarious.
"...I can watch this all day." I feel ya, not sure how many times i've re-watched this fight.
You have to watch the rest of the old ones aswell, supert cinematics!!
For a better reference then what people are offering and a better explanation this knight is the ascendant lord he is part of an order that has an oath not to reveal their identity to anyone even other members their goal is to keep the three banners at war until the inevitability of them all dying out so that no one can rise to power or try to rule the high isle
He's not some superhuman
Or some daedra
Or a world ending calamity.
But he royally whipped the asses of 3 people who have
Just because he's just really fucking good at what he does
Where they messed up is that most of us were rooting for the nameless knight.
When you get an outnumbering like this and one character appears to be working harder than the others, you immediately root for them. It connects with the underdog stories in our mind.
I love that filmography is really just Psychology lol
If you write for it yeah. I like to have subtext (story within a story) in my work.
Im fairly sure the three flags represent three different factions in the elder scrolls lore
I thought they were factions but when breaking it down, I completely forgot to mention it. I was too excited to get to that battle sequence. Thank you for watching fella! KZ
very fair, that 1v3 battle sequence is top tier choreography@@kaizammit
1:27 - The Block > Hilt Stud Uppercut > Epic Counter.
Whoever, choreographed that strike must be a trained sword player.
One of the best things to come out of this trailer is the fight sequence rescored to Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) by Journey. Its terrifyingly good.
Yes, there are two other cinematics on this game, with the same quality. But if I remember correctly, they were published before this one! So their story takes place before the one you just watched!
it would be awesome to see this guy do reaction/breakdown on the Dragon Age: Origins cinematic trailers, as i dont think they get enough attention.
What a lovely little video 😉 very entertainingas always, never played that game myself, though i did play Skyrim, so i know a little about the world, keep those great vids coming please 🤗
Welcome to the club! I've not played any of these cinematics that I cover. It was a much shorter video this time, you are correct. When it's a battle scene, there's only so much I can comment on. It's a dance at the end of the day. I hope you're well!?
@@kaizammityeah i can imagine, but you do it so well though 💪 and i am just peachy thank you very much ☺️
I would highly recommend the 3 initial cinematics for Elder Scrolls Online, as well as the ones for Elsweyr, Greymoor and Morrowind.
Have you seen the Warhammer 40k animation, The Lord Inquisitor - Prologue ?
That one is killer, you gotta see that one if you haven’t already!
I have not, thank you for the recommendation. KZ
I need a full length version of it. No way this was the start of the fight
Elder scrolls clips are fantastic. Wish they would make a tv series. Never a bad one
Love this channel. Keep at it.
Glad you're enjoying the videos and thank you for watching. KZ
High Isle cinematic it's great, they really went the extra mile while doing it
Maybe you want to check the new Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road cinematic, it was recently announced!
There was a trailer before this one. This is a continuation of earlier events. Would be cool if you could react to that one too.
ooooo good choice!
Honestly watching this makes me both excited and worried. Excited at the capability of the 3D film artform and worried I will never be able to achieve this quality. Side note, whenever your next reaction video contains super speed characters, could explain how the camera movement is supposed to behave to translate their speed? You explained it in another video but it still went pass me. I'm working on a fight scene with two super speed martial artists. BTW if you ever make a paid online film course Ill would be interested. Thanks.
I have thought about making an online course but instead I opted to start a RUclips channel instead :D.
When filming you shoot predominantly in 24 frames per second when making a "movie". Sometimes Directors when filming a fight scene will record at a slower frame rate 22FPS. When played back at normal speed 24FPS, it will appear faster as if the actors body movements are faster. This is called undercranking or cranking the camera.
Another way to make the action feel more intense and clean looking is to shoot it with a lower shutter angle. 180 degrees is the normal so that would be... 1/48 of a second at 24 fps. Unsure what camera you are using so I'll put both. If you change from 180 to a 90 degree shutter so that's a shutter speed of 1/96 you action will also be intense looking. I've never mixed both together and probably wouldn't tbh. Stick with one of the other.
I use a 90 degree shutter angle when I film something sporty and the camera is in close to the actor. When punch out, film from afar, I go back to 180 degrees. I hope this makes sense.
If a character has the movement of a ninja as in they are literally moving so fast you can't see them then you'd have to show that by actually having them removed from a section of film. You also show it by seeing how the other character sees' it. KZ
@@kaizammit Thank you. An absolute life saver!
Also, Final Fantasy 14 the game has some good cinematics as well I believe.
UGLY!?
My good sir, watch your tongue or risk a dual! The Elder Scrolls games are beautiful.
Love your videos, keep it up lol.
if any warrior in any game doesnt have a badass fight like this its not a good character i dont care, this and that one warhammer video that was fanmade and only 1 guy survived those are single handledly the best videos for people that love just absolute monsters of fighters
Game cinmatics are usually done by a seprate studios and not the studios who make the games, who either work on feature film animation exclusively or work on movie VFX as well. This one was made by Blur, who've made pretty much most game cinematic trailers in the past 20 years but have also made movies like Deadpool, Love death and robots etc.
I highly recommend halo - remember its a great fan made animation
All the fancy lighting in the world won’t make me forget that the rogue got his ass kicked this whole trailer
The Warden from FOR HONOR😎💙👍🏾
I'm a Tampa fan. I noticed Panthers on u brother
NICE ONE
Literally they made a cinematic which makes everyone root for the 'villain'
it feels wrong to see the 3v1 without someday love will find you playing
2 minutes more epic than 2 seasons of Amazon Rings of Power
Epic art 🦾😁
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III - Announcement Trailer, Next !
I know your well past this video, but you really should watch all of the Elder Scrolls online cinematic. They are all quality ;)
I will cycle back round so stay tuned! I really enjoyed this cinematic.
I would also like to watch this as a series :)
I'll be jumping back into this franchise sooner rather than later so eyes out! 💪🏻👍🏻🔥
I'd want to watch the movie, if the devs make one.
This trailer is part of the reason I only play Bretons in ESO xD
As others have mentioned, you jeed to watxh the other in chronological order. They are all of this quality and tells a story
Now I've discovered this franchise and these beautiful cinematics, I think I'd be silly not too right? Thank you for watching fella! KZ
When you finally unlock the Highlander sword in Chivalry Two.
i've asked for it before but please do the attack of the saints trailer for hitman: absolution. I personally think it's one of the best trailers ever and I would love to hear your thoughts.
Now do the same thing but with the Journey song "Separate Ways" playing :D
personally I dont like MMOs much so I never really got into ESO but this and the starwars MMO have some killer trailers
Yeah Kai these cinematics are always amazing looking. This isnt even the best one. You should watch the rest as well. They just released a new one this week.
If you'd like that, then I can do it!
Absolutely The cinematics are all great. I'm actually going to playthrough the high isle story tonight because of your video. And the 3 flags are the 3 Factions from the world. you can play each one and each has its own entire story line and areas of the world. @@kaizammit
"Heroes" ganged up on this absolute unit of a man! And when they "defeated" him they start posing like they did something, that killed me lol! Nameless Knight was oozing Absolute Sigma Male energy throughout the video!
Yea this cinematic is iconic there are some other great ones but this one is for sure like top one or atleast top 3 in terms of cinematics to this game Elder scrolls lore is massive of course like with any game the in game fights dont really reflect it but yea still amazing
Love your content. You want cinematic? You should look at the Dead Island trailer from E3 2011 or the Warhammer Mark of Chaos (2006) trailer.
its a shame they dont make movies like this.
Ah yes. The “Free Breton.”
"It aint fair innit..?".. Well.. To them it is..!!
Yes the villian is the holy knight and his order was planning to make everyone kill each other so they could take over.
The only thing that ever bothered me about this cinematic is him overpowering a nord. I think it would’ve been cooler if he used his own strength against him instead of straight up overpowering him.
Blur is undefeated.
Nice Florida Panthers sweater!
Thanks man! One of my faves, KZ
Love how they just stand there proud like they didnt just get their ass whooped and only won by cheap tricks, funny part is they didnt even kill the knight
That Knight was alpha as f***
You probably won't see this seeing as im 11 days late but I think you might enjoy reactingbto the For Honor campaigns cutsences i think the story will intrege you and I think it has some good shot angles
I see all comments! I'll check it out.
Can you react to Elden Ring?!
I can do, just waiting for the right time. KZ
Pagans vs. Christian. God always wins. ✝️
You need to do a
Astartes react if you havent
It's on the channel, enjoy!
First like and comment! Sweet
Amazing to see you here already! Thank you so much. 100 points to you. KZ
Hello hello,
I watch a little of what you were reacting to, even if you don't make a video out of it I think watching the GMV Dark Matter - Les Friction 4K give you a bit more of a cinematic and powerful feeling about The Elder Scroll. I mean, the music is amazing.

StarCraft 2 heart of the swarm when
Murtagh, son of Morzan.
in my opinion this is just the main character and the reason hes alive isbecause he keeps taking damage but going into his voidentory just hsoving wheels of cheese into his mouth to heal lol. although thats an NPC i just ifnd it funny as
My only problem is that the handels for the wepons are sircular. Thats a big no no.
