What is the name of the song playing for the last minute of this video?
Great video, although I really wish you dwelled on the games you played just a bit longer
@@transgirlgeology2464 gaming industry be moving quick. Gotta keep
up so many good games coming out. Want to see player 2 play dungeonborne
The _only_ midnight release I've ever been to was Skyrim's. Me and three of my buddies went to the local Play N Trade, all high af, and one of my friends proceeded to lead the entire store in singing Queen songs. After we got our copies, we all went back to my friend's apartment where we'd all brought over our 360s and TVs and lined them up in a row so we could play the game together. After a while one of my friends starts freaking out and laughing his ass off pointing to his TV. He'd stumbled across a giant camp near Whiterun and a giant had launched him into orbit. The rest of us immediately ran off toward that giant camp to try to replicate his experience. Good times.
We keep these stories alive by retelling them. Thanks for sharing 🤘

@@Asap_Turkibruh did you just say cap
@@magiic2119of course they did. These soulless husks didn't have those same experiences we did growing up, as they don't have friends. They wallow alone in their misery and spread it to others, denying anyone's lived experiences because they themselves lack them. You know the reddit meme, nothing ever happens. That's these people, they cannot fathom anybody has different lives than them.
Or, it could just be a baiting troll posting it for attention. Similar story, lack of social interaction, so they seek it through social media usage. It's what most people do anyway, they don't interact with people face to face, so they fill that by posting things that drive engagement.
I don't know, I just can't stand the internet anymore, and how people communicate like actual regards.

@@KitKatNisa What does this mean?
It always seems like people forget a time when games came with manuals that explained the mechanics and controls of a game. People always just call the games "Difficult and obtuse" when in reality they simply don't have all of the media necessary.
That’s likely the case for me in this situation. Aside from the learning curve I had a blast playing the 90’s titles
That's true but some games manuals were whole ass dictionary's too lol (in regards to PC games anyways). They really wanted things to be more of an immersive experience or they were really complex depending on the game
@@animeloveer97I used to sit around reading my video game manuals as a kid. They always had fun artwork and lore. I really miss that.
idk I read the Arena manual before I started playing and pretty much had the same experience as this guy did
@@unusualsuspect980 some of my best memories are sitting in the backseat of the car, popping open the case of my new game, and flipping thru the manual while my parents drove us home from the mall. It really sucks that kids don’t get to have that kind of experience anymore.
“This lock has nothing to fear from you.” Goes hard.
It really does lol. Surprised me when I read it
Todd Howard got so traumatised by redguard being obsolete so quick that he overdid it by releasing skyrim for every system
Lol how did you not notice that you were crouched the entire time in Daggerfall?
Just sitting there like "Damn. They made the Argonians short as fuck in this one" 🤦♂️🤣
Bro for awhile there that’s EXACTLY what I thought 🤣
Correction. Back in 1994, USUALLY you’d get what’s called A Player’s Guide in whatever container the game comes in. This taught you the mechanics, keybinds, etc.
I would like to have some light reading while I play new game.
They should bring manuals back.
True,but a good presentage of gamers pirated their games...so it was trial and error for them🥲...
@@apoletestry3766 just not the multi-part massive encyclopedia-dized PC install ones please!
@@rocketbillyyou mean the ones they used to give with Baldur's Gate and what not? God I loved those. They were like one to two inches thick and chock-full of information.
@@NinjaSushi2 Nah, once upon a time, some OS installation kits came with like, multiple part sets of books for each aspect, sometimes including stuff for coding, depending on the decade really. LGR has at least one video showing that off, iirc. Those video game manuals were the best, though!
Did you crawl around the entire game of Daggerfall and not know it?
Wait… was I SNEAKING ? Maybe I pressed it and didn’t know lol

@@Player2Gamingno, sneak is a different button, you were just crawling around everywhere
Bro that’s SO funny.

Have to say, though, that's my primary gripe with the video. Everything else seems pretty good (style- and personality-wise, I mean. Don't have a big opinion on Elder Scrolls at all), but I don't have a good reaction to semi-informative videos where the youtuber isn't putting in a "reasonable" amount of research that would barely take more than a few minutes. It really doesn't make it seem like your video has much relevant information, since your investigative approach appears to be lackluster or at least spotty.
It's still entertaining to watch, but might not be in-depths enough to keep the part of the potential audience around that shares my observation/opinion. That's still just my opinion, though.

Dang just posted the same thing 6 days late…😢
@@decaymusicxlusty... I agree maybe a lil too much. Ew Ya Baby....
I really appreciate your positive spin on all of the games, most commentary on Bethesda games (particularly Skyrim) tend to focus on the negatives. But, your review focus on the good the elder scrolls games have done and that’s great 👍
Thank you. Thats all I’m about. Being positive and just having fun in the games I play
frrr this video was a blast to watch
i think the community is overly negative in general. its why even if ES6 is great, but not perfect, people will still hate it. cause its what a lot of BGS fans do.
@@GoalOrientedLiftingyep. It really annoys me how a lot of Bethesda fans seem to just hyper fixate on the one game they like and treat all others like garbage. I like skyrim, but I still really enjoy Oblivion, and even though it's not really my cup of tea, I can see why people love Morrowind.
@@GoalOrientedLifting There's nothing wrong with being critical of a game released by one of the biggest studios around, especially when it's subpar to games made by much smaller studios.
They used to be known for pushing what people thought was possible with games, now it's just meh. And theyve fallen behind, only seemingly caring about money.
I LOVE the ES games, if they put the amount of LOVE they put into Morrowind into ES6 it will be incredible.
I was a gamestop employee during the release of Skyrim and worked the midnight release. It didnt matter what genre any of the regulars of the store played, they all showed up together for the same game and it was such an unforgettable night. Im forever grateful to have experienced such a special time in gaming.
Did I watch this Video All the way through? Yes. Is it 3am? also, Yes. Would my wife be pissed that I watched a dude talk about elder scrolls for over half an hour at 3am? Well, Yes, but she loves the series as well, so I think that's a wash.
Keep it up P2, may the algorithm be ever in your favor.
Try spending 3 weeks straight ONLY playing every elder scrolls game and ONLY talking about Elder Scrolls every day with her 🤣
But for real. I need to get my wife into it. The fallout show blessed me with getting her into Fallout (She’s playing through 4 right now) But it would be great to get her to try the Skyrim VR. It’s such a blast
watched it 7am after playin through all night, btw yes im an adult 😅
aslo anyone notice that elder scrolls eso is just elder scrolls online just with less modern graphics
@@RetroKnifeswhat did you think eso stands for?
@@peytongonavy my bad I wrote my comment half asleep at like 2 am
Hey man based on your comments here this is your first crack at this type of video. I watch a lot of video essays and this is *phenomenal* being your first one. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep it up! Can't wait for the next one!
I think where I want to be is somewhere in the middle of a video essay and each titles raw gameplay experience. You’re coming in at an interesting time for me. Fallout video is almost done and will be posted on Sunday 👌 Glad to have you with us
Clearly there are a couple spots where I overlapped the editing. I’ve been creating this while moving out of our apartment in WV to FL. Barely slept lol
I thought it was intentional.😅 thought you were tryna imply you were yapping HAHA!
😂😂🤣 I take it back. Thats now exactly what I was doing
Welcome to Florida, good luck during hurricane season. Hope you don't drown :)
@savannasinai4638 Well.. yikes.. 😅
Some jank to make it a more Bethesda-like experience
This is exactly what I was hoping for when you said you’re moving into a new direction with your content
Glad to hear it. I want to keep making these better and better as I go
Bro I'm a fanatic of the series I've also played and completed every one. This is the only video I've seen where someone has actually played EVERY elder scrolls game and not just 1-5. Congrats man keep it up
Thanks Adam ! I’m glad you enjoyed it
What's your favorite?
@tuliobraz1590 It would be out of Arena, Battlespire or Shadowkey. Arena has a cosy classical rpg feel to it and beautiful soundtrack. Battlespire and Shadowkey have strange lore which I found quite interesting, and of course until I played it I thought Oblivion and Online were the only times mehrunes dagon tried to invade
My mother's boyfriend introduced me to Morrowind when I was a wee lad and he'd always play it after work and I would watch. There was one day I found out you could use the alchemist tools to make your own potions and showed him the potion I made called, "fart in a bottle." The friends he had over and himself all freaked out because they didn't know you could make potions in the game. It made me fall in love with the series so much for after that moment
Bro really got roasted by a door 💀
„The Lock has nothing to fear from you“ is one of the goofiest and most epic sentences I’ve ever heard 😂
My mom bought me and my two brothers Skyrim Christmas 2011, when we opened it she said “you guys are gonna play it for a month and then forget about it.” It’s been 13 years and we’re all still playing skyrim - we played that 360 copy for a good 7 years before buying a new gen copy. If it had been any other game she would have been correct, but Skyrim was just different like that
There are little ledges in the tutorial dungeon in Arena you can sleep on. When you get to the end it asks you a question you have to get from the manual in order to leave. Fuck I'm old.
Yes I found the manual in a document with the games download for codes to get out of the dungeon once I got to the portal.
That never seemed to work for me. I'd rest 0 hours and then a rat would crawl into the gap to kill me (sometimes not even a rat but just a straight up human rogue or spellsword that spontaneously appeared)
@@Ryu1ify I believe there is a stat that has an impact on the successfulness of your ability to sleep unmolested. But yeah lol it still is pretty hardcore.
"Are you feeding the ducks?... I don't like it" 😂😂😂 deaaddd lmfao
Nobody feeds the ducks at me. I won’t put up with it
I also remember 111111 like it was yesterday. Junior or senior year of hs. i convinced my parents to let me stay home and get me the game as a birthday present and let me stay home for the day, so i was ahead of everyone else by the time they got home. it was magical.
Those were some of the best times.
u had to convince ur parents? ha. I'd just be like aight fam i'm staying home this month to clear x game and they was like "got it"
@@xbon1bragging about having shitty parents is a new one 😅
@@Timbo360 nah bro, never going to school was a blessing bro. make my living off gaming, content creation, blogging & it's the dream. School ain't necessary for nobody
@@xbon1it's still not something to brag about lol. It isn't a good thing to miss huge amounts of school like that.
I have to say that Skyrim VR is one of the best games I've ever played, the standard version is great too, but VR takes it to new heights. ESO, on the other hand, is my favorite MMO. Great Video !
It would be ranked higher for me but you have to play it modded. Unmodded is barely even a VR game
Vanilla skyrim VR is. It's great for sight seeing but i don't believe it's a good vr experience outside of that at all.
That being said, i could see modded skyrim vr being one of the best VR experiences out there, especially considering how lacking AAA games are in the vr market.
@@Verchiel_ with mods absolutely one of the best if not the best VR game.
about Morrowind being half Skyrim, this is a myth, both games use different scales, Skyrim has a bit bigger map but the playable area is a bit smaller because most of the regions are mountains. The Skywind team confirmed this some time ago, the playable area of Morrowind is much bigger and dense. Just to have an idea, the Project Tamriel team (they are making the whole Tamriel in Morrowind engine) has a tiny part of Skyrim (province) done in their map (Morrowind using Morrowind Scaale), but when compared with the Skyrim (game) map, it is 1/3 of the total size.
My favorite thing about Oblivion is that the Emperor is the same Emperor in the beginning of Daggerfall AND the guy that was holding the torch in that Daggerfall cutscene? He's the High Chancellor that proclaims you Champion of Cyrodiil at the end of the main quest.
I hope that TES6 is set relatively shortly after Skyrim... honestly they kind of have to. Between having dragons return, setting up a civil war that could be a turning point in the "peace" between the Thalmor and the Empire, the potential assassination of an emperor (if they decide to make the Dark Brotherhood questline canon); there's a lot of events that take place in Skyrim that will have both long-lasting and immediate consequences for Tamriel. But mostly I REALLY wanna see Parthurnax/other dragons return as characters, hope they don't pull some shit like "The Last Dragonborn killed all the dragons then died rip lmao."
He's also the same emperor from morrowind since oblivion only happens like seven years after :) super cool but opens the funniest possibility of a nerevarine hero of kvatch who was randomly put in prison twice by the emperor LMFAO
@@fetchwalkerenthusiastlol crazy. Didn't know that.
My dad used to be a huge gamer. I remember he ordered the collectors edition with the little statue of Alduin, and the absolutely massive guide book and the map. He only played it at his office so I didn’t get to play it until a year after it released when he finally gave it to me after 100%ing it. Me and my brother taped the map to the wall beside the TV, we used the guide book when we got stuck. I played as an Argonian first for some reason because I thought there would be way more water. Good times
My wife (then fiancée) and best friend were making fun of me when I was hyping Skyrim. We got the game at midnight and I started playing the game…..let’s just say my wife finished the game before me.
Congrats! Y'all have been married for quite awhile now! Lol 🎉❤🎉
Was this part deliberate? 14:00
I remember first time I played this was my best friends house in 5th grade. Didn’t even know there was a story we literally walked around,killed thing, and got arrested. I came back to it freshman year of high school and actually played it and it is my favourite game of all time
Your positivity about bethesda is really refreshing mate, everything you say is true, especially about the characters who live rent free in your head. I often think about Miraak and what a cool antagonist they made.
It’s so easy to look at everything they’ve done wrong and miss out on all the good from their games. I’m working on all the fallout games next
Miraak?

@@mohawk4759🤨
3DFX wasn't the wrong horse, it was THE horse. nVidia, ATi (which was later bought out by AMD), Matrox, Rendition Verite, they all trailed behind. All games supported 3DFX because it was the fastest and most feature rich. Many 3D technologies like anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering were first commercially available on 3DFX. D3D could only catch up with 3DFX with DX7, which was released in 1999. Buying out 3DFX lead to nVidia's tech leader position today. nVidia didn't put 3DFX out of business with their superior cards, 3DFX committed suicide and lost its leading position in the industry. Check. Your. Facts.
I would recommend putting chapters for each game in your video! I heard that videos like these do better with chapters for viewers to easily toggle through the video sections!
100% its so much more convenient
this is actually really good, i can tell you are putting real effort in all aspects of this video. just keep working hard brother like, you're not mad annoying and again the work ethic is insane, obviously you have a huge career ahead of you just never stop perfecting your work and getting lazy is too easy to not fall into, purely insane and rare nowadays. not gazing but i just don't see it anymore. you got my sub so keep the heart gold so burning out isn't a thing, maximum love.
I really appreciate that. Reading this while working on my “Playing every Star Wars game” video is just what I needed 🤘
3:00 tbh games back then also always came with instruction manuals
My first thought.
Many games were not purposely obtuse and vague. It was mainly that a bunch of game devs said "hey, I wrote you instructions and put them in the box, how is this so hard?"
William Montgomery in elder scrolls arena is the collab i didnt know i needed 😂 i need him to play the chat gpt mod in skyrim and just cus everyone out lmao
I would sacrifice a testicle or two if modders found a way to add Chivaly 2's or Mordhau's combat in Skyrim.
That I think is ANOTHER factor that needs considered for Elder Scrolls VI. Mordhau and Chivalry 2 combat is top tier
morhau is much cleaner, chiv 2 is way too janky. prob wont happen due to animation problems. as of what I remember, animations and physics that are complicated reqire external software to get it to run which sometimes doesn't work well with other mods. it would have to be worked hard on to get it to run, but anything is posible
least insane skyrim appreciater
what about 3?
I think something like Kingdom Come would be better, since they could actually have it rely on the rpg systems and not be strictly skill based
It's always shocking to me that Bethesda released Battlespire and Redguard and survived, somehow. It's a shame because that was peak Weird Fantasy Elder Scrolls, I want my voidstations and carribean Hammerfell back.
Battlespire was SOO weird. The concept is like a space station or something in the realm of oblivion. The voice acting was creepy and didn’t give af. Even Multiplayer deathmatch mode was included. Then of course there was full blown nudity. That all had to be pretty nuts in 1997
If redguard didn't have such clunky controls, it would have sold much better. It's a great 'b' movie plot
@@Player2Gamingbattlespire is supposed to be a massive dungeon realm/tower inside oblivion.
@@Player2Gamingnudity had a parental control in daggerfall. You could set a password on installing
Redguard had horrible gameplay but it had kinda great story, lore and kinda bioware like conversation styles
I remember in Oblivion I made an Orc character whose skin was so shimmering white that he actually emitted light in the dark. Great game
And the fact it didn't affect stealth at all, hilarious
Dude crawled throughout all of daggerfall
I had NO IDEA 🤣 I’ve seen a couple comments saying this. I must’ve pressed the key and not noticed
@@Player2Gaming in any case you made the video 100% better haha
I appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to watch it 🤘
I remember being 14 years old when Skyrim release happened. I wasn't able to wait for the release and multiple stores already sold out there copies. But I remember asking my dad if he could buy me a copy at the Canadian version of Walmart (Superstore). to my and my dads surprise, the clerk told him that everybody was buying the game at the local game stores that they never bothered checking the grocery store. needless to say, I spent 12 hours straight until one thieves guild quest glitched, not allowing me to progress 😂
big respect for actually playing the nokia games
I appreciate RUclips for showing me this channel, you just gained a sub my man, now i will proceed to watch all of your videos, btw, i'm playing Skyrim for the first time now, just bought the Legendary Edition (My friends told me it was better than Anniversary, they said it was more "vanilla") right now i'm like 40% through it, i'm trying to see EVERYTHING the game has to offer, and i'm loving it so far, no wonder is so loved by everyone lol
Glad to have you with us ! Next up is Fallout 🤘
@@Player2Gaming Let's goooo waiting for it 🙌
I'm just here to insert the generic "what i wouldn't give to play skyrim again for the first time...." comment.
@@skyriminspace It's awesome man, I'm taking it slow, I completed the Thieves Guild, my character has Two Handed, Archery, Sneak, Lockpicking, Smithing and Speech, almost maxed out (Between 70 and 90 almost all of them), No magic because.... I don't know, maybe I'll try it if I replay the game again, he's an Imperial Chad, and I'm planning on joining the Stormcloaks because... Revolution? (I like their armor, looks cool)
@@antobenilol first time i played i was a dark elf because they looked badass & fire resistance seemed smart in a game where you knew there'd be dragons.
I just messed about & levelled up randomly with no specific build or objective in mind. That was until i visited Windhelm & saw the racism at the heart of Skyrim. It wasn't long until i stood amidst the burning wreckage of that city.
Second best memory of that game after one hitting a mammoth with a dagger. Lol
What do you mean no one had it?! If you were a PC gamer in the 90s, you definitely heard of the VooDoo 2 graphics card. That was THE top of the line 3D graphics card when it came out. Everyone wanted one.
haha i thought the same thing. i was a little kid and even i wanted one.
The problem is that it's top of the line. If games came out today that needed 4090 to run, you can bet it wouldn't go down well
@@xtranathor8143would go down the same amount of wellness, back then and now i've always had the best.
@@xtranathor8143it was a much smaller group of players and usually PC gamers (aside from kids) were trying to get their hands on a good graphics or sound card because alot of the good games needed them. Some games could be played without them although it was usually in different graphics modes and of course, extra slow and laggy. It was pretty whack sometimes lol
@@animeloveer97 thanks for the insight. I just played on whatever we had when I was younger (Windows 95), so I never had a clue about the community, market or technology at the time.
imagine getting skyrim on 10th day and putting it on with max volume! My neighbour literally came to my door like "YOU GOT SKYRIM"
I just got recommended your video and after seeing your editing, I thought your channel would be way bigger. Crazy to see that this is your first video of this type. Great one!
First but definitely not the last. I’d never used a green screen till now or made something that was this in depth. I plan to go further in the next video and get better. Thanks for commenting Incita !
i think a big part of skyrim's legacy was the fulfilled hype. you could've went to anyone on your friends list 3 days after launch and they weren't only playing the hot new game- they were 30 hours in. missed work, skipped school, cancelled plans. everyone was trying to explore as much as possible as fast as possible, comparing skills, and armor finds, and discusing whacky little side quests no one else has found yet. i have so few titles in mind where the hype actually delivered. For me skate 2, skyrim, red dead 1, gta 5, battlefield bad company 2 are the some of the only games i can think of where they were as good or better than the prelaunch hype. all those games had a pretty big impact on gaming.
The plan was for Morrowind to include the entire province, but Bethesda would have been broke and out of business by the time they would have been able to finish it, so they limited it to the central island of Vvardenfell. Modders on the Tamriel Rebuilt project have been gradually creating and releasing the rest of the province for as long as the game has been out, with the most recent update at the end of December.
i have to say, thank you for giving Fargoth his deserved close-up. you truly are a gentleman and scholar
I have a mod to make chickens fat but the mesh doesn't come together in the rear end so they all have chickenussies. I have a sound mod that changes almost every sound, my favorite being that when you pick up a coin purse, a deep male voice "damn son where'd you find that" and a mod that let's you cuss out Grelod and Lemkil until they drop dead. It just works
Never thought about how cool it'd be to actually converse with NPC's, I feel like that would be a MAJOR gamechanger.
@35:25 Yes, THIS!
Something in the gaming community that bothers me is the push for branching stories with multiple endings in every game. Don't get me wrong I love making those choices in the right game but what I really loved about BGS games (and Morrowind in particular) is the player agency on how to play the game more than what happens. Rather than play through and be given a choice on the destination, BGS games gave the freedom to get to the same end in multiple ways. When you're rescuing that Milo chick from the prison, me and my 2 brothers all did it differently and therefore all had a different experience to talk about. 1 cut a bloody swath through at a high level. Another carefully sneaked in and teleported out. I personally just ran as fast as possible, dodged the swings, chugged health potions and abused enemy pathing bugs. I miss that freedom to game the system in a way that still feels fun
One correction. Back in 1998 almost everybody I knew had a voodoo to 3dfx video card. It was the card to have. The weird thing is you had to have a 2d card in addition. It only did 3D and you couldn't use it as your sole video card. 3D effects got bought out by Nvidia and absorbed. Rip.
Bro!!! This was awesome! The depth and research you did must’ve been CRAZY. Your dedication is unmatched. Good shit.
Definitely took a lot of work. But it didn’t really feel like it because I was already a big fan of the series so I was learning lots of new things about games I’d played for years. Most fun I’ve had on a project
@@Player2Gamingcool! Always easier when you’re having fun. Awesome that you connect with your community too. (Too bad work gets in the way. lol)
this is a really good video! i was 6 when skyrim came out and physical copies of games aren’t a big thing anymore but i wish i got to experience 11/11/11
when your daughter called the nokia a mini laptop lmao
>thanks Todd for handcrafted storytelling
>wants AI/chatgpt
hell yeah dude I'm dumb as hell too
I do NOT want chat gpt in a game. Thats not what I said
@@Player2Gaming if you can't recognize the inherent contradictions of handcrafted storytelling and interactions and the alternative AI can provide, idk what to tell you
I have a really short attention span and never really watch long videos but this one was great and you really put it up great, thanks for a really fun and informative small doc on my favorite game series.
Thanks for taking the time to watch it !
a mini laptop blew me away, that is such a genius awnser, it got the full keyboard and the same foldable down screen
I think the AI chat is a cool idea and works for VR, but I don’t really wanna be talking into a microphone/ typing on a consul while playing a single player RPG. Plus I would prefer my games have voice actors, not AI. Personally.
Thank you for including my streamer, Tomato Goddamn Gaming, casually chucking a child into the stratosphere. I was worried for a second that it wouldn’t make the cut.
watching this helps me appreciate the journey of the elder scrolls games
Yeah it definitely gave me a deeper respect for the progression of this series over the years.
Is that William Montgomery? 😂 2:36
Actually was about to sleep but glad I get to see it
Thanks for choosing me over sleep
2:32 William Montgomery hit us with that Arena cameo😂
i see it 100%
Homie made a Kill Tony reference while talking Elder Scrolls so I automatically gotta subscribe
11/11/11 I was in line at a mall's Electronics Boutique with like....5 other people. I went home, popped in Skyrim, then called in sick for three straight days at work. Turns out, there was an epidemic at work as many people "got sick" that week. Pizza sales spiked.
Bunk mate sees this vid and throws hands in the air "oh NOW you choos to play it!"
🤣😂🤣
I AIN'T NEVA GONNA STOP playing Elder Scrolls arena as William Montgomery.
This is such a great video man. Keep going! Subbed
Thanks ! Glad to have you with us Rob
god i wish people would try to actually learn how to play eso. theres so much to experience in the game especially as a lore nerd that you only get access to through playing at a higher level. i really want to encourage people to look past the shallow early game writing and focus on the intricate combat and class system really learning to take advantage of arguably the best combat system in and elder scrolls game. the writing improves drastically once you get past the beginner content which largely you dont really have to do or only have to sorta do depending on if you make friends and join a guild you may be able to skip right to the more interesting story lines. learning to really play the game and doing the dungeons and trials will also give you way more insight to the lore of the world. you can get competitive and go for veteran leaderboard runs when youre good enough and theres solo, 4 man, and 12 man trials/arenas that are for the most part very fun and well designed. i really recommend giving eso and honest play through and making friend will make the end game far far easier than trying to do everything with random people. theres tons of content creators that make build guides and dps guides for those who want to take the game more serious. i highly recommend my friend skinny cheeks for any eso pve advice hes amazing.
16:09 BRO THATS MY MAP LMAO
On top of the the Nagasaki and Hiroshima joke you immediately cut it off with a fallout loading screen 😂
In arena starter dungeon you heal in the walls so the goblin don't smell you and find you while you are resting
How do you heal ? I sat there a couple times and nothing seemed to happen other than the game telling me I was safe to rest
@@Player2Gaming you shoulda pressed R
These documentaries are great.
I subscribed because of the DMZ coverage (very disappointed they didn't just commit to it), and I'm glad you're jumping into other games.
Recently got hooked on ESO and started looking into lore and such, glad to see these documentaries on the actual games.
Keep it up man!
m'aiq wishes you well
This video was awesome! Not overblown with too many details, but you went through each game just long enough so we get the gist and overall feel.
Growing up, I was super into Japanese games, and oblivion was the first open world RPG I played because I received it for free with my Xbox 360. I was completely blown away by that game, and it shifted my taste towards favoring western/open world/crpgs. I spent an entire summer vacation fully completing that game and the amazing DLC’s.
It was nice being young, free and devoid of any responsibility… Good times 😂
Love Elder Scrolls games. Its a shame Jeremy Soule isnt coming back to compose the score for VI, theres some me too shenanigans going on with him. The score for Skyrim is part of what makes it so good imo.
There's still time!
I played Arena just yesterday. After 4 hours I finally arrived at my first City and then uninstalled. It was fun.
CANT WAIT TO WATCH. Just had to comment. Really appreciate all the effort you put into your videos. Caught you on stream playing the cycle. Really loved all the videos and keep doing what you like doing. We don't watch bc of what you play its who you are bro. Fuck em and be you.
Eyyy coming in for the late night upload ! The cycle was one of my favorite periods of my career. What a great time that game was
I don't normally have the patience to go through an entire video like this, but you got me hooked, I instantly subbed. The pacing and editing is just right and I would watch any playthrough or revisiting series similar to this you create. Keep it up my good sir!
I know im a bit late but i have to say, I won't lie to you man I found your channel like a month ago and after watching 1 decided to check the past videos and was disappointed that all the others were the same idea, so when this finally showed up in my feed and you said you'll be making different videos/more like this i got really excited, subbed! hope to see more in the future this is great
Fallout next. Then potentially Zelda games. Glad to have you with us 🤘
@@Player2Gaming YES PLEASE DO ZELDA, Man that would be amazing
Patiently waiting for Fallout in the meantime ✌️
My plan for Zelda would be to complete all of the video and play all the games throughout September then playing the echoes of wisdom on the 26th when it releases and then dropping the whole video right after. But for now I’m fully invested in Fallout.
This format the way you did this video was so insane and I enjoyed this video so much. Thank you. Definitely gonna save this video in a playlist
Thanks for watching ! Saving to a playlist is a huge complement 🤘
Im 99 percent sure that Daggerfalls map is bigger than Arenas
Arena is much larger. The difference is you have to fast travel to each province and then can only walk around that province in Arena. In Daggerfall you can literally walk from the edge of Hammerfell to High Rock on foot without fast traveling
I'm certainly surprised to find out that Arena truly has a far bigger game world than Daggerfall. Problem is, Arena's world is supposed to be navigated solely by fast travel, since no one has ever been able to freely walk from one location to the next, due to the insane scale and absence of any help in orientation, when just walking. That means the huge map becomes pretty useless.
TBF, though, the same was basically true for Daggerfall, before the Unity version removed the fog. It wasn't impossible to reach locations on foot, but there was a great chance you'd walk past your desired target location repeatedly, with the extremely limited range of vision in the original.
It’s not the scale. The world is not “physically” big. The towns are their own locations with infinitely generating terrain on all sides. No matter how long you travel in whatever direction, you will still technically be in the town you traveled to. Therefore yes, Daggerfall is bigger as you can actually walk from one place to another.
Me on a 5 am rabbit hole: I wonder if anyone has played all elder scrolls games?
Player 2:
Great game and great video!!
Thanks Shawn !
Oh man, Oblivion was the shit back in 2006. It really changed everything. 2006-2008 was also when my hardware PC enthusiasm peaked - playing these games on sub-zero cooled and overclocked to the death CPUs, hard modded motherboards, with custom watercooled high-end GPUs (eventually beasts like the X1900XTX and "dual" GPUs like the 7900 and 7950GX2), oh man. When everyone was complaining they could barely run this and that title, I was cranking everything to 11 before even starting to play any game...I'll never forget when a friend visited my house and was like "Am I even playing the same game :o " :D Pushing a 2.6ghz CPU to 4.2-4.5 for 24/7 was insane.
Ohh yeah the moment skyrim about to release was legendary moments a literally Biggest Gaming Culture that is can be enjoy by everyone at all ages even elderly woman playing skyrim hope Elder Scrolls VI would be as spectacular as Skyrim was. But do not over hyped.
Playing Arena, and especially Daggerfall really hones in how the games kind of had to simplify themselves over the years to keep up with their growing audience. A modern game with Daggerfall's scope just might not be feasibly possible especially in today's unpredictable gaming climate.
Elder Scrolls 6 with AI-powered NPCs that feel like real people. Imagine walking into a tavern and having a conversation with the barkeep that's as dynamic and unpredictable as a real-life chat. Your questions, tone of voice, and even your past actions could influence their responses, opening up new dialogue options and maybe even triggering hidden quests.
This could revolutionize every interaction in the game. Imagine persuading a stubborn Jarl with a heartfelt plea, or calming a raging beast with a soothing song. Your choices and your words could have real consequences, shaping your journey in unexpected ways. With AI like ChatGPT, each conversation could feel unique and organic, leading to endless possibilities for roleplaying and storytelling. Maybe you'll even uncover secret plots or unlock special rewards just by talking to the right person in the right way. And hey, who knows, maybe someday we'll get to experience all this in VR, making it even more immersive. But even without VR, the potential for AI-driven conversations in TES6 is huge. Imagine a world where every NPC feels like a real person, with their own unique personalities and motivations. That's the kind of RPG experience that's been attempted for decades and the power is at our fingertips with tech Right now.
Oh I could make an entire video about this. I have some many thoughts similar to what you’re saying, so I agree completely.
In fact, Maybe I will make a video on this topic lol
@@Player2Gaming please make a video on that topic 🙇 Nvidia I believe is already trying something 🤔
Jarl will not be in Elder Scrolls 6. It will not take place in Skyrim.
Fuck AI
Morrowind was, is, and always will be my favourite Elder Scrolls game, and overall favourite video game, of all time.
I straight up thought this was a channel that had upwards of 700k subscribers based on the quality. Great video dude
Man this video was nice. Honestly i always have times where i just forget about bethesda but then some video always gets me back and then for a while i just think about bethesda games (mostly elder scrolls) for a while , but anyways its so cool seeing you sitting in that dungeon. Nice video!
Thanks for watching Totoro !
iirc "The Elder Scrolls Legend" was a series planned for specific events or timeframes etc, whereas "The Elder Scrolls Adventures" was a series for Action Adventure games (that's why it's in the name...) without any RPG elements, focussed on a special character within the lore or a "tale" basically.
I have to say that Redguard was one of my favorite games in the whole series, because of the well written story and the awesome adventure quest that actually felt like a treasure hunt with lillandrils flakon and the whole story around that. I mean, technical issues aside... people often forget that Redguard is the playable groundwork for almost all of the TES lore. Khajiit weren't catfolk before, accents and different racial traits etc were introduced there and of course the whole story around dragons and the amulet of kings. This is basically the groundwork for future titles.
Sadly the dragon lore was basically killed in Skyrim (I mean... lore-wise Skyrim ruined everything due to its horrible writing/dialogues), whereas the daedric artifacts and the amulet of kings were made worthless in Oblivion already (who gives the f*ing Amulet of Kings to a retired blade who puts it into a f*ing wooden crate protected by a wooden door... which weren't even locked?!).
Sure Redguard was a flop, but TES wouldn't be the same without it.
So I was really on a time crunch trying to finish this video before my move. I literally moved the day after I edited everything and posted it (don’t know how I did it all tbh)
Point is, i didn’t really get the chance to finish each of these games. I think I really need to go back and finish Redguard. When doing my research I watched an interview where Todd Howard basically said he still stands by that game as being great to this day. The scope was just smaller than what their audience wanted.
@@Player2Gaming Yes I've read that, too. They marketed these Spin-Off titles quite bad. I think nobody really understood that the "Adventures" series was intended for Action Adventure games etc. I think most people just assumed "The Elder Scrolls? Ok, it's another RPG" :D. Which is fair obviously, people nowadays think of Skyrim instead of "The Elder Scrolls" whereas even some people don't know that there were games before Skyrim :D.
But yeah, I'd recommend playing it, maybe watching a playthrough somewhere. And don't hesitate to pick up a guide if you're stuck somewhere. Since the controls are quite clunky, certain quests might be hard to solve, due to lack of feedback for some actions etc.
As a tip: The drunken dudes in the Draggin Tail are meant to be training dummies, you can practice fighting with them :) the combat system seems simple and straight forward, but it isn't (doesn't mean that it's good though... clunky controls again haha). Oh and take a look at the Easter Eggs page in the UESP wiki, if you're into that stuff :). Some funny references and insights.
And gratz for you new apartment/house :)! I hope the move went well and you're happy with your new home :D
your character's face in the bottom left just staring at you in the first game kills me
I immediately thought that Arena character looked like William Montgomery too, before you even mentioned it 😂 Two of my favorite worlds colliding
It's very interesting. In the same year, 1994, both BGS and FromSoftware began their dedication to RPG games development. Both were inspired by Ultima, and the creative potential of the Medieval dungeon crawler.
BGS launched The Elder Scrolls, and FromSoftware launched King's Field. However, the first King's Field was a PS 1 Japanese exclusive. But their international second release put them on the map.
But, literally since Morrowind, BGS has been on a steady march to remove features and simplify their games, causing them to stray continuously away from what could be called an RPG. Fallout 76 is literally a shooter, not an RPG. Starfield is a shooter with a translucent RPG overlay.
Yet arguably, FromSoftware has steadily improved its games and gameplay, even expanding its formula into its first open world game - something both fans and critics said that couldn't be done. However, Elden Ring was a tremendous success.
So, beginning at the same time, after Morrowind, BGS has had a steady decline of its RPG philosophy. The increased accessibility of Skyrim resulted in a major success for the company.
But the practice of simplification eventually caught up with them. And sales are largely driven by nostalgia, not competent game design.
Whereas FromSoftware has worked tirelessly to improve their game design with each iteration, and in spite of the fact that they have not made their games more accessible, and are recognized as some of the most challenging games to beat, they have evolved into one of the most successful developers, making some of the best games currently available.
It's quite a dichotomy. BGS is experiencing a slow death, creating incredibly mediocre games. While FromSoftware is absolutely killing it, commercially and critically, game after game...
Honestly your AI idea sounds perfect. It would allow for some hilarious jank but also give nearly unlimited potential - especially if your stats can influence how the AI interacts with your character.
I like the idea of your charisma level having an impact on how willing the AI is to listen to you. And maybe low intelligence would make what you say be translated a bit dumber with your words being simplified.
So many awesome things can be done with the technology.
Great video by the way.
