No one said the prison slop job was a full-time job. If you can work elsewhere and just show up like three times a day to serve slop to the inmates, then the bread and mead is just a nice bonus. An extra half loaf of bread and a drink each day just for spending a few minutes playing lunch lady sounds pretty neat.
Only just realized that even if the game shows it’s age, I like the fact the Khajit ears move depending on her response. It’s a nice attention to detail. 🙂 I also really enjoy these videos! It’s both interesting and cozy finding out about various lore. Your voice is also really soothing to listen to. 😁
Theranis is an idiot. He stole a book, hid it, then went back to the town he stole it from and bragged about it in one of the taverns. 😂 Also, if Theranis was a prisoner, why is he in full-leather armor, with his blade and all? The guard walking over that Nord's body at the end is insane 😆😆😆
Despite how janky and potato faced oblivion is, and honestly the brain numbingly repetitive voice actors... I actually think oblivion had a bit more depth with their characters n location s The homeless actually had a use, you couldn't walk into someone's house without leaving with a quest or some really strange interaction The castles all had something cool going on, be it a pirate cove under one or a completely disturbing torture room I think between oblivion and skyrim, something went missing.

I think it's interesting Shum mentions not letting him catch you in the wine cellar, which the unknowing player will probably think he means because you'd look like you're stealing wine, but that's actually where the Pale Lady is hiding
My character: New in Skingrad and she's looking for work. Caption Dion: Shum gro-Yarug is looking for a Slop Drudge. Shum gro-Yarug: I'll pay you two gold and a half of a loaf of bread for feeding the prisoners, I don't care when you do it.

The way how that man died in the end had me rolling plus 2 septums a week and half a bread and mead a day on a 24 minute clock it’s 2 hours and 48 minutes that makes a week that’s good pay quite decent.
When I finally did the thieves guild, Shum gro-Yarug had walked off the Skingrad bridge and died at some point prior and it took me forever to figure it out.
you don't even have to KILL people in oblivion to feed as a vampire. Hypothetically the count can drain people of their blood and keep them alive so there was never a reason for the pale lady to ever kill anyone.
27:37 What's the difference between what the count does verses what you do as a thief? Both of you take from others at their own expense and impose your own will and judgement upon other people. Finding this quest in the first place pretty much puts you in a position where you're not able to judge. Also, drinking blood doesn't make you a stronger vampire in Elder Scrolls, it's the other way around. Not drinking blood and starving yourself increases the amount of power you gain through vampirism. The count's wife is so thoroughly infested by the disease that instead of granting power, it hinders her. She suffers from such advanced vampirism, that the disease is killing her. It's like working out, the more you work out a muscle, the stronger it gets.
Actually as far as I remember the longer the vampire doesnt feed the more powers they get which is kind of weird but I guess they had to add some upsides and downsides to feeding or not feeding. However they cant go not feeding forever or they will die. I guess it's a very delicate calculation. So if the Pale Lady drank Theranis' blood then she should be weaker as she is
Look, I get everyone memeing about 2 gold a week and the food and shit, but nobody seems to understand you can also eat some of the slop too and there's nothing the prisoners can do about it
Even Tamriel isn't immune to inflation v_v nobody appreciates the value of Septims nowadays. Back in my day, you used to be able to buy a house for a few thousand Septims. Today's interest rates have ruined that. Now? 250 Septims won't even buy you a gumball. 😢
@@NicholeLastname In daggerfall, a tiny shack was 200k-250k septims roughly. A night at the inn was like 4-6 septims. That's a room at the inn for roughly 136 years!
@@triosta1 Books and houses in Daggerfall were brutal! I know historically books were a luxury, but it was hard learning about the world lore back then! And now that you have them, you want a place to store that loot? No problem! Here's a cart! Oh, you want an actual house? Ha! Oh, that's funny. I do miss finding random statues and unloading them all on the poor General Stores, though.
@@TwilightRogue15 Books were quite cheap in cyrodiil, which implies that it was the slave labor capitol of scribes pumping out cheap reads that was quite expensive to export to hammerfell/high rock. No doubt it was the aristocrats trying to keep the population illiterate.
The Count's wife's coma doesn't really make sense in the quest to cure vampirism. There's quite a few vampires that don't have access to fresh blood for years, and have not fallen into such a coma. Azura's worshippers sealed themselves in a cave after they got infected, as well as Hindaril sealed within redwater slough, and the grand champion's father locked inside crowhaven. Even in undead vampiric stupors, women can have hysterical, lengthy fainting fits.
It truely is a plothole. But we can always come up with solutions ourselves, for a headcanon. I assume the countess tried different ways of curing her herself and just got ill after drinking too many wrong potions. Either that, or she was just allergic to animal blood, haha
The "pale lady" aint even all that pale though imo. I'm just seeing standard dark elf skin. I bet she gave that nickname to herself. Self-given nicknames are cringe. Unless that nickname is "Megatron". Then you're cool.
Ah the introduction of Plot MacGuffin "Elder Scrolls" in the series. I kind of preferred earlier games where "The Elder Scrolls" seemed to just be a phrase in setting equivalent to saying "Your name will go down in history". It's not like there was literally a magic book called "history" in which all events forever are recorded by magical means. Something about the Scrolls being actual magical items in the games just... I dunno. I feel like it diminishes things really. Prophecy is a lazy writer's greatest friend in a way. You can take your plot outline, write it as a poem or something, and then include it in story to explain why everything happens. Prophecy is something the series has also very heavily relied on in Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. But what's interesting to me, is the premise of the games, and its mechanical design, is kind of at odds with Prophecized Chosen One Narratives. They're in a setting where everyone can get better at anything just by practice. They're in a setting where every Guild/Plot line kind of refuses to acknowledge you've done anything else before you tried out whatever was previous in the specific questline you're on. It's a world that's really built for not having prophecy. Or MacGuffins that tell everyone everything that ever could or would happen. I kind of hope the next game goes away from a Prophecy Chosen One story.
Here’s your two gold, we’re out of bread so The Count sends the following three gold for your services as slop-drudge.
I appreciate the mead money, milady! Extra serving of slop for you, from now on.
2 gold a week AND half a loaf of bread a day? Man sign me up for that job.
Better pay than a Google intern and real prospects too. You could be mucking out the shitter within five years!
You also get a free glass of wine.
@@dragondude9637So fantastic! Little wonder there aren't any labour unions in Cyrodill. Best run province in Tamriel.

slop drudge should totally be a title in the growing list of achievements for the hero of kvatch
The way Henantier gazes at you longingly as you walk away and ignore his greeting at the start. You saved him, but did you really care about him?
Did you know that he was initially able to be killed during the quest?
@@DarkLOREDash That's interesting, I did not know that.

One of the things I loved about Oblivion. The Khajiits ears are expressive based on their mood.
"Something is missing in my hand" 🤑😉
"Most likely soap and water"
💀💀💀
It would have been great if, were you yourself a vampire, you could have worked around convincing the Dunmer to let Amusei go.
Theranis is an idiot. He stole a book, hid it, then went back to the town he stole it from and bragged about it in one of the taverns. 😂
Also, if Theranis was a prisoner, why is he in full-leather armor, with his blade and all?
The guard walking over that Nord's body at the end is insane 😆😆😆
Theranis may not be the sharpest sword in the scabbard but at least he isn’t rusting in the rain
The guard after realising what he did under the power of a charm spell
The guard "oh crap I'm going to get my pay cut in half for this one"
I just ignore her by not talking to the first prisoner. She doesn't spawn unless you talk to him.
Really? cool. I will have to try that some time.
2:45 Beggar: Something missing in my hand
Player: I would guess soap and water.
Best roast in the game XD
I never knew the prisoner takes up a new life as a beggar in the Imperial City, very cool.
Something about the way you talk really elevates the narration here. Absolutely subscribing.
I get so excited when I see you dropped an oblivion video. Not many RUclipsrs still cover this gem
cant help but giggle every time i hear 'slop-drudge' xD
I've been enjoying your storytelling.
Glad you enjoy it!
Related to Skingrad, I hope you do an episode on the quest "Paranoia" someday
love so much the little rp intros for each dialogue option and whole rp aspect as well ❤
I wonder what happens to the pale lady when we do the Cure for Vamprism quest first.
Guard tells you that you are fired
Guard also still calls you a Slop Drudge and tells you to get back to work
????
I suppose the name Mina is a reference to the Vilhelmina 'Mina' female character from "Dracula" book by Bram Stocker.
Yes!
I just finished the Thieves Guild questline for the very first time today. This quest made me really start liking Amusei.
2 of my favorite things to do first thing Sat morning: Listen to Dash's silky voice and sip delicious coffee hehe
Why are the villians always elves? Espacially high elves? Mannimarco, Hindaril, Mankar Camoran, Seridur, Umbancano, the night mother?
Because high elves are evil, just look at the Thalmor 😂
Wow. Your voice is like you are really from the Thieves Guild. Good job 👍
Despite how janky and potato faced oblivion is, and honestly the brain numbingly repetitive voice actors... I actually think oblivion had a bit more depth with their characters n location s

I think between oblivion and skyrim, something went missing.
Fantastic, I've been waiting for this quest. Keep up the great work Dash.
Thank you Mr Shemperoni!
I must say, I just love your narration. You'd make a great DM!
I always assume the pale lady was a friend of the skingard count
I've always taken the job, I didn't realize there were so many ways in!
- Justifies the Murder of petty Criminals to force-feed their Blood to a comatose Countess.
- Assassinates a homeless Beggar who once punched a woman.
"You are like a dark gift from the night mother herself"
Small nitpick about the Thieves Guild, despite paying beggars coins for information they never actually spend them
