@@rubyismycatman7335 I am so happy growing older, each age brings it's own wisdom and each year that passes brings more peace and a comfortableness in my own skin. As it's said, the older I get the more clearly I remember things that never happened! 😁🇬🇧
Around 3:13:55 they started talking about speech. In Skyrim it always did bug me that Intimidate was tied directly with speech craft. I always thought character physical build, gear and just all around presence should be a part of it. Example - The Riften Guard stops you at the gate to try and shake you down. A tiny wood elf in some basic robes shouldn't have the same level of "Intimidation" as a Giant Orc/Nord in full plate. Something along those lines.
There are lots of ways to hurt someone in skyrim, and a tiny wood elf describing how he could use magic to burn me to crisps, ressurect me and do it again would be a lot more terrifying than a simple warrior... even if that was a lie. Speech! Also from a gameplay perspective speech is the most useless skill in the game. Those speech checks are essentially the only time it does something meaningfull.
That and Speechcraft was so binary. Either it worked 100% and it behaves like a Jedi mind trick or it doesn't. Plus there are so many times where you can't even use it. For some reason you can tell a thief who was about to gut you to f off and they do but you accidentally run over a chicken and the entire town wants your head. One would think that situation could be easily remedied with out violence or guards by just paying the owner restitution for their chicken.
What really differentiates TES to me is the scale, degree of immersion, and the near limitless role playing potential. All things that trace back to Ted and Julian and that Todd has actively been removing from the games.
@@chrisbenson6753 precisely my thoughts also, as much as I’m excited for the next ES I’m also deeply worried about Todd stripping it more than skyrim was stripped.
@@chrisbenson6753 such an accurate comment! Todd may deserve credit for streamlining TES to mainstream fandom, but it was almost like making a deal with the devil. In doing so he had to sacrifice gameplay elements and go against core philosophies of the earlier entries.
@@Astrothunder_ I'm really hoping other devs (Once Lost, Obsidian, etc.) are successful at picking up the audience that has been left behind. I find it odd that TES has gone on for so long without direct competition. To me it's been pretty clear that Todd/current Bethesda don't really understand what it is that made TES wonderful and sets the games apart from other fantasy rpgs.
@@Jay-ys2cf I have to admit, I am not so keen on the next elder scrolls for that reason. All the good stuff that gives the games depth are thrown out with the bath water. There is now only one type of way to play the game and it is more linear than sandbox now. It is a themepark and not an enviorment to explore. I joined at Morrowind and it has fallen off further with each release. I am more looking forward to Wayward Realms now.
@@Camelworks strange that I have not seen any of these interview type videos about the elder scrolls creators before other than on your channel. Are you the only person who has taken the initiative to tweet at the creators? Surely not.
As nice as the overpresented creators like Todd or Kirkbride are, it's so good to know more about the other lesser known but equally (if not more) important creators of TES. Kudos man.
Zaric Zhakaron is still waiting for a Daggerfall sized map video game, pleased to hear that Wayward Realms is going to be the same size, and hopefully also some Dragon Age inspired followers.
Oh wow 3 hours of glorious Camel and Ted too so glad it’s here, been looking forward to it and thanks Camel and Ted, sorry about your loss Camel hope your ok 👍 🐪 😀 ⚔️ 🐉 ❤️

I honestly like the dragon break and the Dwemer being a mystery. To me that makes it feel more real that in a world where you know for sure what happens when you die, or that magic was real, or what is in and in between space and time there are still things that can happen that are like “shit what the hell was that” or people messing with things way beyond them and paying the price
@@kimwilson3863 no I mean in the elder scrolls universe, they have the answer to that. For us on earth we don’t and it’s a huge motivating factor for tons of things like how our entire cultures develop or fight wars. So I like that in the elder scrolls, even with life’s biggest mystery being answered, there is still a degree of mystery to the universe

Wow, I'm so jealous that you got to meet Ted! Great interview Camel, hearing about the origin of the Elder Scrolls series from one of the founding fathers was very enlightening.
I've met people who were working on different projects and none of them showed as much enthusiasm for them as much as Ted did in this video. He really seems proud and invested in the lore and his work, which is making me quite happy. He made a lot of us happy, being one of godfathers of the early TES lore.
This is really a great interview, how fun it must have been for you! I'm quite new to ES lore and this whole vid wasn't just entertaining to view but also quite informative. I had no idea about probably 90% of this if not more! Thanks Camel, love your work and thank you Ted for your hard work as well. You guys are awesome
Never knew who to credit for so many of my favorite literary distractions from questing, looting, and slaughter. Certainly was an inspiration for me to write when i played Morrowind. Than you, Camel and Ted.

The vampire group in Vampire the Masquerade is called Tzimisce (pronounced zhee me she). The group who are opposed to the Camerilla are the sabbat, which they are a member of. Jesus that took me back.
Damn i wish I saw this when it was posted. But Ted seems like a down to earth dude. We need more people like him in the industry. Everything released now feels samey and soulless. Just started a daggerfall unity playthrough. Very good.
I found this video, got excited, checked its duration, glanced at the clock, then at the duration again, thinking "There is no way I'm gonna watch it in one bite". And here I am, three and the half hours later, 5:42 am, contemplating my life choices, but overall happy. Great vid!

Very timely interview! I was just digging around trying to find more about the writer of the Scotti books. Extremely happy to hear that there'll be novels for Wayward Realms!
I have many fond memories playing Arena. It was one of the first PC games I ever bought. I was very impressed with their ability to make an open world game within the tech limitations of the time. The game came on 8 floppy disks (which was moderate sized at the time if my memory is correct) which puts the size of the game at under 12MB. Like I said, I was impressed with what they accomplished

Nothing beats owning a physical copy of a fantasy game, be it TES or something else like Dragon Age. Seeing the nice cover art and maybe have a map included + the manual is just always so much fun to look back at years later. Sadly, like you said, that magic has been lost with the digitalization of games.
I just bought Cyberpunk 2077 a few months ago at a bargain bin for 20 bucks but the packaging rocks! Full color instruction manual, maps and lore book and a sleek cover. I really wish more modern games did this instead of that crappy flimsy sheet you get with a DLC code on it.
@@DontStopCornPop to be fair, how many modern games are actually worth the waste of space and plastic? I like the idea that the only games that bother with those sorta collectibles, boxes, maps, etc are the games that are actually worth a damn (or atleast have the confidence to think they’re worth a damn).
I have a copy of an original Xbox edition of Halo 2 and it has the booklet with it. It's so great to be able to look at! It even still has the unused code for Xbox Live before Gold was a feature.
@@Astrothunder_ Fair that environment is an issue. Digital games are also extremely convenient for people like me who live in countries that doesn't have a big gaming scene, so I don't have to pay the ridiculous shipping fee.
Yes, read Borges! Not meaning to undervalue the other authors mentioned, but his short stories are among the most crazy, exciting and interesting of the last century (which is not really void of crazy and exciting literature). 👍
This was a fun interview! I was binge-listening to a bunch of Camelworks videos while playing Skyrim but this one I would occasionally pause the game to pay more attention to.
His dissing on the dragon break I think deserves some pushback. It's one of the best features of the franchise. It makes you think really hard beyond that of time travel and it does have sensible conclusion because it's merely the rearranging of all the parts contained within the Mundus. It's less of a contradiction and more of something like that of data compiling as if the Elder Scrolls universe exist within a computer
He deserves pushback on a bunch of things, we didn't all get into Elder Scrolls for how it was when it was Daggerfall, I bet he puts his nose up on much more of the beloved lore then he puts out here.
@@sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149 It does not sit right that the community gives total praise to someone who feels that both the lore and the gameplay of the games they love was a mistake, he can have his opinion, but it is dumb to just praise him for no reason.
@@zarrg5611 He was very influential in _those very games_ that we all love. Praise is warranted. How much praise however is up to each individual person. For some it may be none. But active pushback because he said he wouldn't have done what another creative had done? That seems excessive. Pushback is what you get for doing something immoral or what have you, not for having a different creative vision. I can't see how pushback would be warranted. Less praise? Perhaps. But that isn't synonymous with "pushback."
@@sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149 Well I think the word can be used in a less extreme context, the way I said it is just voicing the opinion that he seems a little bitter and his vision may have not been all he makes it seem.
Wow camel! This is really amazing. I remember binging your lore videos for hours and hours in the background to keep me saying it work while I was typing away. You really come a long way
I really love the idea of a game where you get a sub skill related to HOW and WHO you learned speechcraft. So like they say towards the end, get a dude who’s super persuasive and personable with fellow nobles, knows all the unspoken rules of etiquette and how to navigate the politics, and put them in a merchant guild where their fully lost on how to talk with merchants in a way that makes them likely to be helpful. Make it a skill that can be raised through use and have each major group have a persuasion check against a specific type of interaction.
Fantastic interview. Mr. Camel, I must say that I am quite impressed. Thank you Ted for sharing with us your insight to your work at Bethesda and your own projects as well.

I've been binging your long form content on TES, while I'm not new to the community as I've been playing Skyrim since I was 9(currently 19, 20 in march), only played around 30 hours in ESO. Never really learned much thats outside of Skyrim, like your video on Saadia and the Alkir warriors really made me realize that I know nothing on the history of this universe, as I believed Saadia but what you said in the video, like the Redguard hate elves so theres no way they'd ever side with the Thalmor! I know Skyrim's history of the nords coming from Atmora and wiping out the Snow elves and the whole thing. But outside of it is a mystery to me. So from me, a baby histrion that loves the series and your videos, Thank you for everything you've done. From the long form content explaining and theorizing to easter eggs, Thank you. I look forward to move videos and everything you have in store for us ♥
As always 🐪, excellent video. Absolutely brilliant having one of the founding fathers of a series we are obsessed with on for a video. It's great learning even more about the beginnings and little tidbits, I'm surprised I and everyone watching haven't zero summed; but then - who would watch these banger videos? Also very happy that authors have been recommended, can't wait to read about Morrowindl as I had no idea about that. You have earned another hump on your back ✨🐫✨❤️
Edit: Just got to the part where they discuss the box art for Arena. Camel, I truly hope you do find the Japanese, French and German box art. What an awesome piece of memorabilia to have, especially since you couldn't find a photo of it online Also great to know games in Germany are just desolating the Vulcan species

Ted's the sole reason I wanted to adventure into Black Marsh. His characters are outrageous & exaggerated yet grounded & believable. If he & Oncelost can produce a fun to play RPG w/fanciful aspects in a mature way I'll buy it. I love dogs but flying wolves O.K., flying poodles eh, not so much. (Even though I know they're as badassed as Dobermans) Maybe discredited myself a bit there but some tropes are tradition for a reason. Poodles are a relatively modern breed. Anyway looking forward to Wayward Realms, hope it comes out sooner than ESVI

Love all the work you do Camel in bringing us such wonderful content and tips amazing interview. Appreciate the visualizations on point with the conversation!
Thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks to you both for making it! Also, I'm a Brit and I wasn't even sure what Great Britain referred to! Turns out it's the island with England, Scotland and Wales on! 😅🤦♀️ Probably should have known that! However, I do know the British Isles refers to all of it, and the United Kingdom is (currently) everything except the Republic of Ireland and the Isle of Man!

probaly won't see this, but wanted to give some legit engagement seeing that I am unable to donate in any other meaningful way. I've loved all your lore videos, I've been a fan of the elderscrolls going way way back to arena, and while my memory fails me frequently on lore, i've loved watching and rewatching many of your videos. sometimes as background noise other times as something to sit and just benge for a while. thanks for all the work you guys put into your videos! and a special thank you to Ted Peterson too, I'm not going to lie i've way to often overlooked his importance to some of the many games that have brought joy to my life.
I knew the conversation would be great, but I’m impressed with the editing, from the dragon breaks to finding an albino walrus image. Well done, my man.

Honestly, it's fascinating to know that his mind is responsible for some of my most cherished aspects of the series. The most interesting bits about the series, even Sheo (the best character in any game ever, hush your opinion is wrong)... Thank you Ted, thank you.
I like that theres going to be more of a focus on the sun god! I feel like thats somthing missing from Elder Scrolls, as Magnus is infamously absent from creation. Either sun or storm gods were usually the Most High God in ancient pagan religions, so I think this is a good move.
Brush it once or twice a week, wash it with Olaplex about once a week, then put leave in conditioner in it after washing. It's probably mostly down to genetics.

Also from a gameplay perspective speech is the most useless skill in the game. Those speech checks are essentially the only time it does something meaningfull.
That and Speechcraft was so binary. Either it worked 100% and it behaves like a Jedi mind trick or it doesn't. Plus there are so many times where you can't even use it. For some reason you can tell a thief who was about to gut you to f off and they do but you accidentally run over a chicken and the entire town wants your head. One would think that situation could be easily remedied with out violence or guards by just paying the owner restitution for their chicken.
There is one instance of this in the game (sort of). If you're wearing a daedric helmet, your intimidation attempts are 10% more likely to succeed.
I know a lot of people credit Todd Howard for elder scrolls but personally I see Ted as the true reason I personally enjoy playing the games.
What really differentiates TES to me is the scale, degree of immersion, and the near limitless role playing potential. All things that trace back to Ted and Julian and that Todd has actively been removing from the games.
@@chrisbenson6753 precisely my thoughts also, as much as I’m excited for the next ES I’m also deeply worried about Todd stripping it more than skyrim was stripped.
@@chrisbenson6753 such an accurate comment! Todd may deserve credit for streamlining TES to mainstream fandom, but it was almost like making a deal with the devil. In doing so he had to sacrifice gameplay elements and go against core philosophies of the earlier entries.
@@Astrothunder_ I'm really hoping other devs (Once Lost, Obsidian, etc.) are successful at picking up the audience that has been left behind. I find it odd that TES has gone on for so long without direct competition. To me it's been pretty clear that Todd/current Bethesda don't really understand what it is that made TES wonderful and sets the games apart from other fantasy rpgs.
@@Jay-ys2cf I have to admit, I am not so keen on the next elder scrolls for that reason. All the good stuff that gives the games depth are thrown out with the bath water. There is now only one type of way to play the game and it is more linear than sandbox now. It is a themepark and not an enviorment to explore. I joined at Morrowind and it has fallen off further with each release. I am more looking forward to Wayward Realms now.
What an AMAZING treat/surprise! Thank you, Camel and Ted for this incredible content.
I always forget that Ted got to work on a Terminator game. What an awesome ride this dude's career has been!
Wow I am so happy you managed to do this interview. I wonder how you were able to do it. Camelworks you deserve the pleasure so happy.
I tweeted at Ted and he tweeted back
@@Camelworks strange that I have not seen any of these interview type videos about the elder scrolls creators before other than on your channel.
Are you the only person who has taken the initiative to tweet at the creators? Surely not.
@@CallumDT I believe ESO did it too.
@@deviousraul oh do link me the video if you know it. Otherwise it's cool I'll check it out
As nice as the overpresented creators like Todd or Kirkbride are, it's so good to know more about the other lesser known but equally (if not more) important creators of TES.
Kudos man.
Zaric Zhakaron is still waiting for a Daggerfall sized map video game, pleased to hear that Wayward Realms is going to be the same size, and hopefully also some Dragon Age inspired followers.

I honestly like the dragon break and the Dwemer being a mystery. To me that makes it feel more real that in a world where you know for sure what happens when you die, or that magic was real, or what is in and in between space and time there are still things that can happen that are like “shit what the hell was that” or people messing with things way beyond them and paying the price
I agree, but before I die I wanna know 😂

You know what happens when we die? for real 'cos I thought nobody actually knew. Always thought it was a 50/50 chance I'd be right! 😁
I think they meant in-universe, which the Nords having Sovngarde and the Redguard having their afterlife, and so on and so forth. :)
@@kimwilson3863 no I mean in the elder scrolls universe, they have the answer to that. For us on earth we don’t and it’s a huge motivating factor for tons of things like how our entire cultures develop or fight wars. So I like that in the elder scrolls, even with life’s biggest mystery being answered, there is still a degree of mystery to the universe
The Elder Scrolls is my favorite franchise of all time. I just got and am now playing through Arena and Daggerfall Unity. I love this.

@@GraceonGaming No. I wish.
Wow, I'm so jealous that you got to meet Ted! Great interview Camel, hearing about the origin of the Elder Scrolls series from one of the founding fathers was very enlightening.
So epic. I'm looking forward to this. So much lore we have him to thank.
Dude this is so cool!! He does look like his character 😆 what fun this was!!
I've met people who were working on different projects and none of them showed as much enthusiasm for them as much as Ted did in this video. He really seems proud and invested in the lore and his work, which is making me quite happy. He made a lot of us happy, being one of godfathers of the early TES lore.
For the record, some of us do read the in-game books!
This is really a great interview, how fun it must have been for you! I'm quite new to ES lore and this whole vid wasn't just entertaining to view but also quite informative. I had no idea about probably 90% of this if not more! Thanks Camel, love your work and thank you Ted for your hard work as well. You guys are awesome
It was a joy to listen to! Very excited for what he's got cooking for the Wayward Realms!
Never knew who to credit for so many of my favorite literary distractions from questing, looting, and slaughter. Certainly was an inspiration for me to write when i played Morrowind.
Than you, Camel and Ted.

The vampire group in Vampire the Masquerade is called Tzimisce (pronounced zhee me she). The group who are opposed to the Camerilla are the sabbat, which they are a member of. Jesus that took me back.
Damn i wish I saw this when it was posted. But Ted seems like a down to earth dude. We need more people like him in the industry. Everything released now feels samey and soulless. Just started a daggerfall unity playthrough. Very good.
You opened up the doors to the garden of lore, carried this lowly dandelion inside and blew my mind. 😁👍

Ted is an awesome dude, best boss ever.
MANY THANKS TO YOU AND ALL INVOLVED WITH THIS EPIC INTERVIEWED. THIS WAS SPECIAL AND HE IS A LEGEND. LITERALLY! CHEERS!

What a cool interview. Enjoyed every minute of it, and now I'm super hyped for The Wayward Realms. It sounds like an amazing project.
Very timely interview! I was just digging around trying to find more about the writer of the Scotti books.
Extremely happy to hear that there'll be novels for Wayward Realms!
I have many fond memories playing Arena. It was one of the first PC games I ever bought. I was very impressed with their ability to make an open world game within the tech limitations of the time. The game came on 8 floppy disks (which was moderate sized at the time if my memory is correct) which puts the size of the game at under 12MB. Like I said, I was impressed with what they accomplished
2:49:45 is so wholesome how Camel found the Easter egg and how surprised Ted was
I appreciate your page man. The morrowind beginner guide was a god send
Did this guy hold his phone camera up for three hours just for this interview!? He's a hero!

Nothing beats owning a physical copy of a fantasy game, be it TES or something else like Dragon Age.
Seeing the nice cover art and maybe have a map included + the manual is just always so much fun to look back at years later. Sadly, like you said, that magic has been lost with the digitalization of games.
I just bought Cyberpunk 2077 a few months ago at a bargain bin for 20 bucks but the packaging rocks! Full color instruction manual, maps and lore book and a sleek cover. I really wish more modern games did this instead of that crappy flimsy sheet you get with a DLC code on it.
@@DontStopCornPop to be fair, how many modern games are actually worth the waste of space and plastic? I like the idea that the only games that bother with those sorta collectibles, boxes, maps, etc are the games that are actually worth a damn (or atleast have the confidence to think they’re worth a damn).
I have a copy of an original Xbox edition of Halo 2 and it has the booklet with it. It's so great to be able to look at! It even still has the unused code for Xbox Live before Gold was a feature.
@@Astrothunder_ Fair that environment is an issue. Digital games are also extremely convenient for people like me who live in countries that doesn't have a big gaming scene, so I don't have to pay the ridiculous shipping fee.
Yes, read Borges! Not meaning to undervalue the other authors mentioned, but his short stories are among the most crazy, exciting and interesting of the last century (which is not really void of crazy and exciting literature). 👍
i cant believe its the mastermind behind Waugin Jarth!!! (im a big jarth-head)
Aha, I get that reference !
hats off to Tedd for holding the phone in front of his face for 3 and a half hours
I appreciated it as an awesome interview, thank you so much @Camelworks and Ted Peterson!

This was a pleasure to find. What a great interview on both sides. The Wayward Realms is going on my Steam list too.
AMAZING! What a nice Thursday surprise.
I am just thankfull for this interview. Thank you ! Thanks to Ted Peterson too, he is a living legend.
This was a fun interview! I was binge-listening to a bunch of Camelworks videos while playing Skyrim but this one I would occasionally pause the game to pay more attention to.
His dissing on the dragon break I think deserves some pushback. It's one of the best features of the franchise. It makes you think really hard beyond that of time travel and it does have sensible conclusion because it's merely the rearranging of all the parts contained within the Mundus. It's less of a contradiction and more of something like that of data compiling as if the Elder Scrolls universe exist within a computer
He deserves pushback on a bunch of things, we didn't all get into Elder Scrolls for how it was when it was Daggerfall, I bet he puts his nose up on much more of the beloved lore then he puts out here.
"Pushback?" Simply for disagreeing on creative decisions? Bruh what
@@sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149 It does not sit right that the community gives total praise to someone who feels that both the lore and the gameplay of the games they love was a mistake, he can have his opinion, but it is dumb to just praise him for no reason.
@@zarrg5611 He was very influential in _those very games_ that we all love. Praise is warranted. How much praise however is up to each individual person. For some it may be none. But active pushback because he said he wouldn't have done what another creative had done? That seems excessive.
Pushback is what you get for doing something immoral or what have you, not for having a different creative vision. I can't see how pushback would be warranted.
Less praise? Perhaps. But that isn't synonymous with "pushback."
@@sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149 Well I think the word can be used in a less extreme context, the way I said it is just voicing the opinion that he seems a little bitter and his vision may have not been all he makes it seem.
Wow camel! This is really amazing. I remember binging your lore videos for hours and hours in the background to keep me saying it work while I was typing away. You really come a long way
I really love the idea of a game where you get a sub skill related to HOW and WHO you learned speechcraft. So like they say towards the end, get a dude who’s super persuasive and personable with fellow nobles, knows all the unspoken rules of etiquette and how to navigate the politics, and put them in a merchant guild where their fully lost on how to talk with merchants in a way that makes them likely to be helpful. Make it a skill that can be raised through use and have each major group have a persuasion check against a specific type of interaction.
you can do that IRL
the shadowrun CRPGSs have this feature. your social checks can pass or fail depending on particular social class/background, race, etc.

I've been binging your long form content on TES, while I'm not new to the community as I've been playing Skyrim since I was 9(currently 19, 20 in march), only played around 30 hours in ESO. Never really learned much thats outside of Skyrim, like your video on Saadia and the Alkir warriors really made me realize that I know nothing on the history of this universe, as I believed Saadia but what you said in the video, like the Redguard hate elves so theres no way they'd ever side with the Thalmor! I know Skyrim's history of the nords coming from Atmora and wiping out the Snow elves and the whole thing. But outside of it is a mystery to me. So from me, a baby histrion that loves the series and your videos, Thank you for everything you've done. From the long form content explaining and theorizing to easter eggs, Thank you. I look forward to move videos and everything you have in store for us ♥

Gimme gimme gimme more!!!🤩🤩 So excited!! Thx, Camel!!👏👍
I'm extremely pleased to find your channel. Thank you for great content.
As always 🐪, excellent video. Absolutely brilliant having one of the founding fathers of a series we are obsessed with on for a video. It's great learning even more about the beginnings and little tidbits, I'm surprised I and everyone watching haven't zero summed; but then - who would watch these banger videos?
Also very happy that authors have been recommended, can't wait to read about Morrowindl as I had no idea about that. You have earned another hump on your back ✨🐫✨❤️
Edit: Just got to the part where they discuss the box art for Arena. Camel, I truly hope you do find the Japanese, French and German box art. What an awesome piece of memorabilia to have, especially since you couldn't find a photo of it online
Also great to know games in Germany are just desolating the Vulcan species

I'm sure I can stay awake an extra 4 hours to watch this in one sitting
Ted's the sole reason I wanted to adventure into Black Marsh. His characters are outrageous & exaggerated yet grounded & believable. If he & Oncelost can produce a fun to play RPG w/fanciful aspects in a mature way I'll buy it. I love dogs but flying wolves O.K., flying poodles eh, not so much. (Even though I know they're as badassed as Dobermans) Maybe discredited myself a bit there but some tropes are tradition for a reason. Poodles are a relatively modern breed.
Anyway looking forward to Wayward Realms, hope it comes out sooner than ESVI
Coco's flying poodle is really more of a mythological creature, so we figure anything goes. Glad to have you following along!

Elder Scrolls 6 hopefully has folks like this working on it. He and the teams lore is some of the deepest in gaming.
Nice I can not wait for the wayward realms to release
Thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks to you both for making it!
Also, I'm a Brit and I wasn't even sure what Great Britain referred to! Turns out it's the island with England, Scotland and Wales on! 😅🤦♀️ Probably should have known that! However, I do know the British Isles refers to all of it, and the United Kingdom is (currently) everything except the Republic of Ireland and the Isle of Man!

Your set here looks absolutely baller, nice
probaly won't see this, but wanted to give some legit engagement seeing that I am unable to donate in any other meaningful way. I've loved all your lore videos, I've been a fan of the elderscrolls going way way back to arena, and while my memory fails me frequently on lore, i've loved watching and rewatching many of your videos. sometimes as background noise other times as something to sit and just benge for a while. thanks for all the work you guys put into your videos! and a special thank you to Ted Peterson too, I'm not going to lie i've way to often overlooked his importance to some of the many games that have brought joy to my life.
Oh god what a birthday treat for me
Such a great video, lots of intereting things discussed definitely going to keep my eye out for The Wayward Realms sounds really cool!

Honestly, it's fascinating to know that his mind is responsible for some of my most cherished aspects of the series. The most interesting bits about the series, even Sheo (the best character in any game ever, hush your opinion is wrong)... Thank you Ted, thank you.
So excited to try out Wayward Realms! I never even heard of it, but this interview was amazing and I’m excited for such a deep RPG
I like that theres going to be more of a focus on the sun god! I feel like thats somthing missing from Elder Scrolls, as Magnus is infamously absent from creation. Either sun or storm gods were usually the Most High God in ancient pagan religions, so I think this is a good move.
Camel, can we get a vlog with a step-by-step of how you get/keep you hair so God damn perfect?? Like please? 💙
Brush it once or twice a week, wash it with Olaplex about once a week, then put leave in conditioner in it after washing.
It's probably mostly down to genetics.
