That depends on the dimension you're talking about. Until Anduin returned (?) from his time warp, and after they were killed, I don't believe their souls resided in Nirn.
Patrick Stewart needed to voice every one in ten characters, seeing as how 1 in 10 people in Cyrodiil are probably the Emperor's illegitimate children anyway.
abyss knight What? Who says the Khajiit are the only race with a desert in their territory? Im saying Hammerfell makes sense because a quarter of the province is made up of the Alik'r Desert.
there was so much more creative stuff in that game! Fighting Ogres with terpentine in a painting, the Shivering Isles, all the different landscapes. It was just awesome. And the Nerim mod on top!
Since The Replicated Man quest in Fallout 3 was foreshadowing all of Fallout 4 I think that if ES6 IS indeed "Project Greenheart", it's possible the Eye of Magnus arch for the Mage College in Skyrim could be foreshadowing ES6 Valenwood is adjecent to the Summerset Isles, which is close to the Island the Psijic Order is from. Also since Summerset is in the middle of them, that would tie in with the Aldmeri Dominion lore
Morrowind and Oblivion had BRIEF mentions about their respective sequels. I find it hard to believe Betheseda would use a whole story arc to hint at TES VI.
Decent lists? Half of them were callouts from other bethesda games and stolen assets for propaganda and a terrible game. Not exactly a good list to learn the creation of the game.
I refuse to view WatchMojo because after like 4 videos I caught on that he's not even actually a gamer, he lists trivia about games that you can easily find on Google, and whenever he goes to elaborate any further it becomes apparent that he knows almost nothing about the game itself and probably has never even played it. Compared that to gameranx, who genuinely seems legit about every game he talks about. Sure he probably hasn't played every single game he mentions, but I'm willing to bet he's put extensive hours into a good amount of them. Gameranx= real gamer - WatchMojo = fake poser
Занудный Лис Here is what the second great War will be "Bad" Side -Aldmeri Dominion -elsweyr -Possibly Valenwood and high rock "Good" Side -Hammerfell -Skyrim -Morrowind (Allied with skyrim ), since they gave some support.) -Cyrodil End result: Dominion is fucking murdered by Hammerfell.
In the civil war quest, there's hints from both Tullius and Ulfric that there will be a second Great war against the Thalmor. There's also references about the Thalmor secretly trying to destroy Nirn
Rick Astley well, during Thalmor embassy party quest the high elve in charge of justiciars kinda tells you that upfront, that this is not a war where both sides were tired and that there will be a second war (I like this source more, because it's: 1 - an elve telling you that, not humans and 2 - it's a part of the main quest). But meh, I guess you can also consider what secondary quest lines provide :)
Занудный Лис In one cut-scene where Ulfric and Galmar are talking they talk about a possible Nord-Breton alliance. Galmar also says that he will build up Skyrim's army and take the fight to the elves.Even Tullius says he's not sure about the Armistice between the Empire and Thalmor.
Am i the only one who just wants to find that North Korea video? but is also afraid that if I start searching for "North Korea propaganda videos" the government will raid my house?
Took me 2 seconds to find it ruclips.net/video/wKC0vB5PfNY/видео.html It's funny because it has American propaganda in the title. The US decapitates Kim Jong-Un in effigy after simulating a nuking of Pyongyang off the coast of Korea and they're up in arms about a picture of Obama burning in a video with a fire theme lol
"It seems there's been a boycott of Imperial goods in the land of the Altmer" This line from random chatter in Oblivion foreshadows Skyrim and the war that occurred between the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion.
Just wanted to point out, that Moitiare "The guy who pays you to kill the emporer in skyrim" was the decendent of the one you pretend to kill for the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion.
+Lowe Tide I think it's the worst out of the modern series, but still give it a 9/10. Wish they'd have stayed in the same vain of style as in Morrowind, but Oblivion definitely took risks and paved the way for the awesome Skyrim. Those guild quest though, still as of yet the best out of the series. I just got pissed at some point being an errand-boy to Martin. After rising to level Godness in Morrowind, I wasn't looking forward to playing second-fiddle to anyone xD
ShadowOfTheRandom137 You aren't wrong, but the actual amount of time the song can run before being able to be striked is very short. There'd be no point.
I mean you could use up to like 30 seconds and possibly get away with it depending on a multitude of factors, but most people say don't go over 15. The clip is hardly that long (30 sec) so he most likely could have gotten away with 7-10 seconds easy.
There's another bit of foreshadowing in Morrowind. The Bloodmoon expansion lets you talk to a soothsayer who will predict your future. If you talk to them at the beginning of the expansion they'll talk about Hircine and the expansion's main quest. But, if you talk to them after finishing Bloodmoon, they'll say: "When the dragon dies, the Empire dies. Where is the lost dragon's blood, the Empire's sire? And from the womb of the void, who shall stem the blood tide?." (Copying the text from the UESP wiki.)
And BTW there isn't going to be another Elder scrolls game, online was the last game, in interviews they said they didn't see another Elder scrolls game coming in a long time, which some people thought they meant they are working on another one but in a more recent interview they said they weren't planning on making any elder scrolls game for a long time and they were sorry for their vagueness so yeah you can expect more ES online content but no more games
IIzzak hate to break your heart cause i want my alchemy ingredients in tact but they're not remastering es3 or es4 cause it wouldnt be a remaster it would be a remake cause that engine is long dead and gone the only thing they can do is make it bc
johnathan totton My heart is broken. :( I forgot about the fact that the engine was replaced. A remake would still be okay though. I just don't think it'd have the same charm as OG Morrowind.
No no no. You see, the leader of the Aldmeri Dominion is gonna have DEPTH. He or she won't be purely evil! In fact, they used to be an adventurer like you... Until they took an arrow in the knee.
+D. Henry Daggerfall and Morrowind just beat any Elder Scrolls released after them. Especially Skyrim, which I like. But which suffered a terrible loss in gameplay.
My personal favorite Elder Scrolls game. I love the sense of high fantasy and adventure this game gives me that the other games can't. The beautiful colors add so much to the atmosphere of the game as well.
Jonathan Falls ....if true that is fucking awesome. and question, is it him that voices sheogorath in the elder scrolls online? sound like the same guy
+Blodus No, I don't think thats true. (Oblivion Shivering Isles Spoilers Ahead) In the Shivering Isles DLC the protagonist becomes the ruler of the Shivering Isles (Sheogorath's Realm) but he/she doesn't actually become Sheogorath himself, instead the Oblivion protagonist is meant to act as a placeholder, until Sheogorath returns.
If I stopped affiliating myself right now with all ES related things, I could hear TES:IV in 50 years and i'd recognise it straight away, there's a piece of my brain called "Cheese for everyone"
Ashlee Egge-Daborn WOW. Forever forward that is a thing in my mind, that anyone who experienced The Isle has part of their brain commandeered and rebranded "Cheese For Everyone"
quick question in skyrim when u meet sheogorath aren't you technically talking to the protagonist of oblivion because you become sheogorath after jyggalag is defeated in oblivion
Arrow to the knee joke is because they don't have Greaves in Skyrim. Zero knee/shin protection. The previous games had Greaves. TES VI will have Book 3 to "The Lusty Argonian Maid".
I doubt its possible but TES 6 might take place during the 2nd great war. every imperial and high elf knows a second one is coming. they say so in the game
+Riley Crawford The Aldmeri Dominion desperately needs a spotlight in the form of an Elder Scrolls game. Given that conflict is bound to arise between the two again, as you've said, it would be an excellent opportunity for a theme.
I'm so glad to hear that someone else loves Oblivion like I do. Best game of all time! And #2. Anybody remember Sinderion reference in skyrim with the red nirnroot?
lots of people in the war quest lines of skyrim mention that there will be another war with the aldmeri dominion I'm guessing that's foreshadowing TES VI's storyline right there.
That thing where the books show the names of TES games, yeah, Redguard came out before Morrowind so they foreshadowed two games. That's probably not a coincidence.
Well, after you complete either of the military campaigns in Skyrim, if you ask General Tullius or Ulfric what's next they say that another Great War with the Thalmor will likely occur soon. Pretty sure that will be the plot for ES6.
That may be true, TES games before Skyrim were set in same time period each few years apart from each other, while Skyrims story is ~200 years far from Oblivions. Maybe we get new story that continues after Skyrim one...
+Backon Lazer if im not mistaken there is a HUGE battle between Elswyr/Cyrodill/Valenwood also I think it is called where the Talmor are fighting against other elfs I think.
After you finish the main quest in Oblivion, you may overhear a conversation about the Nerevarine (a.k.a. the protagonist in Elder Scrolls III: Morrorwind). Apparently, the Nerevarine left on an expedition to Akavir but has not been heard from since and his fate is unknown.
the elder scrolls lore is so diverse and well written that they essentially have every game idea for the next 20 years in either oblivion, Skyrim, or Morrowind
the foreshadowing you're looking for is the mages guild questline. The Eye of Magnus. Where did they take it, what is going to happen to it? What happens when the Thalmor find out we killed their agent, and that the psijics could be involved? I'm hoping for a summerset isles + psijic order map/mainquest. with a Sload invasion perhaps as sideplot.
I remember loving oblivion so much I actually prayed to the nine for a snow day and got it I now am a staunch believer in the nine. Even though my parents did force me to finish a paper before I could play but hey you got to take the good with the bad
The number 1 fact is you can complete the game in the first mission: after escaping prison through the sewer go to the centre of the city to the building in the middle of the district where the final mission takes place (can't remember which one). Spam running into the corner of the door and you glitch inside the empty building. Turn round and you see a glitched door halfway in the floor. If you walk into it opens the final mission. Leave the building and you see the daedra attack everything. If you enter again you have a brief conversation with martin septim and the final cutscene is launched. You saved tamriel - xbox 360 achievement! (There is a video of this somewhere on youtube perhaps called how to break oblivion? Can't remember).
siclk Ppoop yes, it's pronounced much differently in Oblivion, but a huge number of us got sucked into TES from Morrowind. He pronounces his own name SHEHgorath in TES3, with emphasis on the first syllable.
Limbo of the Lost is one of the strangest stories in gaming. Not only did it steal 99% of it's graphical content from other games and movies but it also somehow took 14 years to develop and release. Development for the game began in 1993 with a planned release for the Atari ST and Amiga 500 with a demo being shown at game conventions in 1995. 8 years after the demo was shown, because those old systems were no longer relevant the game development was moved to PC in 2003. 4 years later the game was released in 2007 in Europe and 2008 in the US.
That's not racisr. He'd make a super good voice actor for any race but lket's be honest, it would really be great if he voiced some bad ass redguard warrior. Maybe even some ork dude. I painted my Kaldor Draigo entirely purple and in my gaming group we all agree that he is played by Samuel L. Jackson. because he's the most bad ass motherfuckucker alive. not because he's fucking black. Also, fwould make a great protoss voice I think.
I... I dunno. I think he's done other good works, but the temptation would be FAAR too real for everyone to make the character lines "Samuel L Jackson" lines including all his fucking *_AMAZINGLY_* bombastic and badass shouting, cussing and other such craziness 😆 Even still I think if it was more than like two Npcs at most it would break immersion and make everyone - or at least _a lot_ of people - all "Oh my god!! ITS SAMUEL L JACKSON!!!" Every time one of his characters spoke. They did great with Patrick Stewart, so maybe if they kept it to one character they would do good.
Here's a fact for you: In TES: Arena, you can ask random npcs for rumours, and sometimes they'll tell you that "They say Morrowind is doomed to wither away from plague and pestilence this year or next. My opinion is good riddance.". When taken into context, it is a foreshadowing of one of the main plot-points of Morrowind, the plague and pestilence being the The Blight unleashed by Dagoth Ur. What's more, in Arena you get to go to Red Mountain (called Dagoth Ur in-game), and fight a vampire inside its cave system. 'Ash Vampires' are a thing in Morrowind, and the two games are set just some 10-20 years apart. Another fact: both Arena and Oblivion have a similar basic premise in which Uriel Septim VII is attacked by a mage in service to Mehrunes Dagon, and the protagonist - a prisoner in the Imperial Dungeon - has to save the world. It's obvious that Bethy didn't intend to foreshadow anything at that point, but it's clear that they took inspiration from Arena when making the next couple of games in the series.
Good point. I always which side of the Civil War ending was the canon one. I've done both and General Tullius says a similar thing about how the Empire is biding their time waiting to strike the Thalmor when they're in a false sense of security.
+TreezDontHug I wouldn't know. I've only done the imperial side once. But it seems like that might be our answer. As for the canon one, I've also wondered that
There was also an Easter Egg in Bloodmoon that foretold the events of Oblivion. Oddfrid White-Lip says, "When the dragon dies, the Empire dies. Where is the lost dragon's blood, the Empire's sire? And from the womb of the void, who shall stem the blood tide?" This is from the Sad Seer quest. She offers to tell you a prophecy of the future, and if you've completed Bloodmoon's Main Quest, this is what she says. If not, she makes a reference to the final Bloodmoon mission. This is obviously referencing the main story of Oblivion. When the dragon dies, the Empire dies=Emperor dies, war comes. Where is the lost dragon's blood, the Empire's sire?=Yo, where Sean Bean at? And from the womb of the void, who shall stem the blood tide?=Who gonna fight all dem daedras from Oblivions, y'all? True story.
Well, see it as brand staple. It's a little trick of marketing business too. YOu hear those notes, you KNOW you recognize it and start to think, nostalgia kicks in, and soon you might find yourself on the hypetrain for a new game. Alas, Metal gear did the same thing, taking a song and re-arranging intruments for the next release, quite a good idea, actually.
In Skyrim General Tulius says that there is another war coming between the Empire and the Elves, and in skyrim Bathesda did include a couple of battlles and sieges, like the siege of whiterun and solitude, so what if in the next game they go all out on sieging cities like in Mount and Blade: Warband, it would make sense to include siege engines and massive siege battles since thats what they wanted for skyrim but did not really include that much of because of hardware limitations.
Unless they actually make a new engine capable of running those siege scripts, i dont think so. And they REALLY love that engine i tell you, same one since morrowind with some little tweaks, even fallout 4 is using Skyrim's engine.
In an interview, Todd Howard said, "Do we plan on making an Elder Scrolls VI? Absolutely. But we don't have the technology for our plan right now." They might just be switching it up after all...
PhyreI3ird - My apologies, I misquoted him to exact words. But he still says the same thing. Here you go. (since RUclips prevents links in the comments section, this will have to do.) Search for (and click on the top result): Wywiad: Todd Howard o Elder Scrolls 6 (E3 2016) Napisy PL
I love how dedicated Bethesda is about the elder scrolls series. So much detail, thought, and time put into these games show how much they really care about it and us as the consumers.
*moves left foot Loading area....... *moves right foot loading area..... *takes out disk Loading area..... *puts in skyrim Can't equip sword, shield, and spell at the same time *takes out disk and puts in oblivion again. *walks into dungeon, "haven't I've seen this cave like 10,000 times?" *takes out disk and puts in skyrim "Oh look a cave" ...

Why do the weapons in Oblivion look 1000 x more realistic than the jokes they call weapons in Skyrim? Did anyone else feel like they were swinging around paddles when they were given imperial swords or feel like the hand grips covered in serrated spikes were unnecessary design characteristics for the elvish weapons? And talk about that hooked pommel on the Deidric weapons that is never put to use. It was talked about in great length on another youtubers channel and I never thought much about it until he picked them apart but they are so...ugly. About the only weapons that have realistic proportions and designs are the iron weapons, the ebony and maybe some of the bone weapons, the rest were just too silly looking and illogical (even though we are dealing with a fantasy world, I still like some realism). But thank god for mods that fix these issues!!
Benjamin Landgren the Elven handles aren't actually covered in spikes (or aren't suppose to be) that's just what happens when you zoom really closely on pixels, they're never exactly the shape that you were after close up.
right ... so how long have you played skyrim and oblivion ? you are really picking up the bare bones of this , you dont have anything else to pick on with skyrim so you bash on the weapons wich actualy look decent to good .
I would not put it past Bethesda to think that far ahead with the book in Redguard. They hinted at the setting and release date of Fallout 4 IN FALLOUT 3. There was a timetable in a metro station which said that train no. 2015 was going from DC to Boston.
Oblivion plot was also revealed in Sad Seer quest in Morrowind's Bloodmoon DLC. When you finnish the quest, the giver offers to tell you your future. "Geilir the Mumbling couldn't tell my future, but Oddfrid did tell him about something else. He said that when the dragon dies, the Empire dies. He also said something about the lost dragon's blood and the Empire's sire, and the stemming of a blood tide. Geilir said it was all very cloudy, and does not refer to me directly."
+Chirurgeon Crane Too bad most of the writing is in souless information dumping. Or did you mean the plot/s? I find it's my favorite in the sense of locations. Pretty much every location I can think of from Morrowind was damn great.
I think that oblivion was planned. Most games start with little small idea fragments. They probably thought of the name way before they had any real game plan.
Right? The lore was already done, even tough it has expanded greatly since morrowind, they must've had tons of games ideas at different eras, before they settled on Oblivion as their next game.
Not to mention, Bethesda takes years to make a game. I believe it was six years to make Skyrim after Oblivion was done. So, it doesn't really surprise me that they already had the idea, they were probably already working on Oblivion.
"I was an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee" That's it- Elder Scrolls VI : Arrows to all knees 10/10 would take arrows to knees again - IGN
Oblivion is far better than Skyrim in my opinion. Story, world, soundtrack, all of those are way better in Oblivion. Animation wise, sure Skyrim rules that department. I think all those who think Skyrim is better, most likely played Skyrim first. Of course Oblivion, Morrowind, Daggerfall etc etc will feel inferior if you start with the most recent game. Even after playing Oblivion for hundreds and hundreds of hours, when walking down a path, I can just stare into the wood and, just want to go there. Explore.. In Skyrim after the first or second playthrough it's like... meh.. just fast travel.
Good times... I remember... Dungeon quest by investigating a family legacy, reach the deepest crypt, pick up and read a journal, realize that the writer is hundreds of years old, realize that vampires live hundreds of years, get attacked by the writer of the journal who is a vampire, kill him, wear his enchanted greaves like a champion. One of many great memories...
It’s not a coincidence, they most likely plan lore really really really ahead of the game releases. I wouldn’t be surprised if skyrim was written all the way back with daggerfall
I killed every character voiced by Sean Bean in Oblivion.
You know.. Just to continue the tradition.
The tradition must go on
Sean Bean didnt die in the Martian so , its has ended
+Beastance he would have died anyways man... Oh and yeah... Spoiler!
+Giant FootHD yea but he got fired, which I know, isn't dying, but it still continues his streak of bad luck
+Giant FootHD he didn't die in lady chatterby's lover, national treasure and all the percy Jackson movies
M'aiq also predicted Skyrim in Oblivion. "Dragons were never extinct, only invisible...and very quiet."
Bacxaber He also says something like "Maa'iq saw a dragon once, maybe you will see one too."
Mind blown...awesome knowledge dude
CagedChaosRB
No, it comes from Oblivion.
Bacxaber to of my god
That depends on the dimension you're talking about. Until Anduin returned (?) from his time warp, and after they were killed, I don't believe their souls resided in Nirn.
I wish they remastered oblivion
me too but just gonna have to keep doing the fish stick as its a very delicate state of mind
Mr Nye same....

I wish they remastered MORROWIND.
bryan pomales no thanks
Patrick Stewart needed to voice every one in ten characters, seeing as how 1 in 10 people in Cyrodiil are probably the Emperor's illegitimate children anyway.

Hammerfell makes more sense according to this statement.
Brendan Mailloux you do now that the North of Elsweyr ja a desert and that the Khajit say that?
Brendan Mailloux you obviously have little knowledge about the khajiit if you say that
abyss knight What? Who says the Khajiit are the only race with a desert in their territory? Im saying Hammerfell makes sense because a quarter of the province is made up of the Alik'r Desert.
they need to remaster oblivion for xbox one and ps4 cuz that game was probably better than skyrim
Finally some one who agrees
Lowe Tide yeah m8 definetly
Yeah I'm down for that
Absolutely
there was so much more creative stuff in that game! Fighting Ogres with terpentine in a painting, the Shivering Isles, all the different landscapes. It was just awesome. And the Nerim mod on top!

I used to work at the lumber mill but now the lumber works me
Captain Italia oh shit!
Since The Replicated Man quest in Fallout 3 was foreshadowing all of Fallout 4
I think that if ES6 IS indeed "Project Greenheart", it's possible the Eye of Magnus arch for the Mage College in Skyrim could be foreshadowing ES6
Valenwood is adjecent to the Summerset Isles, which is close to the Island the Psijic Order is from.
Also since Summerset is in the middle of them, that would tie in with the Aldmeri Dominion lore
Morrowind and Oblivion had BRIEF mentions about their respective sequels. I find it hard to believe Betheseda would use a whole story arc to hint at TES VI.
Unlikely, too big of a project to make most Bethesda games to lay things out in advance like that for a game you aren't even worried about atm.
@@unfortunatesnort2474 I think that it will be set on hammerfell
I'd love for the next game to be set in Valenwood or Black Marsh. ESO is fine and all, but I want a singleplayer TES game set in those provinces! :(
This guy is like WatchMojo if WatchMojo had actually decent lists and had personality.

"Bad" Side
-Aldmeri Dominion
-elsweyr
-Possibly Valenwood and high rock
"Good" Side
-Hammerfell
-Skyrim
-Morrowind (Allied with skyrim ), since they gave some support.)
-Cyrodil

Dominion is fucking murdered by Hammerfell.

***** I mean, it's pretty bad. It's just better than what most people think.
There's another bit of foreshadowing in Morrowind. The Bloodmoon expansion lets you talk to a soothsayer who will predict your future. If you talk to them at the beginning of the expansion they'll talk about Hircine and the expansion's main quest.
But, if you talk to them after finishing Bloodmoon, they'll say: "When the dragon dies, the Empire dies. Where is the lost dragon's blood, the Empire's sire? And from the womb of the void, who shall stem the blood tide?." (Copying the text from the UESP wiki.)
My question is did I make the goblin race go extinct, because they weren't in Skyrim, and I killed a lot of goblins in Oblivion
Maybe 75 percent of enemies in Oblivion were goblins
And BTW there isn't going to be another Elder scrolls game, online was the last game, in interviews they said they didn't see another Elder scrolls game coming in a long time, which some people thought they meant they are working on another one but in a more recent interview they said they weren't planning on making any elder scrolls game for a long time and they were sorry for their vagueness so yeah you can expect more ES online content but no more games
Are you serious? Bethesda has said that TES VI is already a planned project. Where the heck are you getting your info?
IIzzak hate to break your heart cause i want my alchemy ingredients in tact but they're not remastering es3 or es4 cause it wouldnt be a remaster it would be a remake cause that engine is long dead and gone the only thing they can do is make it bc
johnathan totton My heart is broken. :( I forgot about the fact that the engine was replaced. A remake would still be okay though. I just don't think it'd have the same charm as OG Morrowind.
"What's the matter, someone stole your sweet roll?" That will be the connection from TES V to TES VI.
I know a master thief will rise and steal all the sweetrolls
Reading this question just doesn't convey all the sarcasm the guards use.
No no no. You see, the leader of the Aldmeri Dominion is gonna have DEPTH. He or she won't be purely evil! In fact, they used to be an adventurer like you...
Until they took an arrow in the knee.
the "stole your sweetroll" reference goes back at least to Morrowind though
The Elder Scrolls VI: Sweetroll
Oblivion honestly was better than skyrim
+diego jwz "Oblivion honestly was better than skyrim in my opinion"
FTFY.
no
+diego jwz Dafferfall and Morrowind master race
+D. Henry Daggerfall and Morrowind just beat any Elder Scrolls released after them. Especially Skyrim, which I like. But which suffered a terrible loss in gameplay.
+Gandalf The Badass Wizard yes
My personal favorite Elder Scrolls game. I love the sense of high fantasy and adventure this game gives me that the other games can't. The beautiful colors add so much to the atmosphere of the game as well.
And the voice of Sheogorath is my Girlfriends Uncle. I've talked to the god in person 😂
Jonathan Falls ....if true that is fucking awesome. and question, is it him that voices sheogorath in the elder scrolls online? sound like the same guy
*CHEESE FOR EVERYONE*
SonTyp OhneNamen *A SEVERED HEAD, AND CHEESE!!*
Jonathan Falls Lier.
Thats madness.
Oblivion > Skyrim
no
+Gandalf The Badass Wizard care to explain why?
In my opinion, Skyrim is better. But that's just me, so other people can have different opinions.
Oblivion == skyrim
+Eric Larivere How bout you just say they are both amazing games that I enjoyed playing
I looooove skyrim, but I reaaaaally looooooove oblivion
+Jack Bryden same
ummm isn't the Oblivion protagonist Sheogath in Skyrim?
Yes.
+Shogun Melon unconfirmed ?
please go look it up
+Blodus No, I don't think thats true. (Oblivion Shivering Isles Spoilers Ahead) In the Shivering Isles DLC the protagonist becomes the ruler of the Shivering Isles (Sheogorath's Realm) but he/she doesn't actually become Sheogorath himself, instead the Oblivion protagonist is meant to act as a placeholder, until Sheogorath returns.
+Hawksm278 But everyone refers to you as Sheogorath in oblivion.
+Hawksm278 nah you turn into him
If I stopped affiliating myself right now with all ES related things, I could hear TES:IV in 50 years and i'd recognise it straight away, there's a piece of my brain called "Cheese for everyone"
Same here! Let's just say I'll never forget the name, "Anne Marie."
Ah..., a fellow Sheogorath follower?
Ashlee Egge-Daborn WOW. Forever forward that is a thing in my mind, that anyone who experienced The Isle has part of their brain commandeered and rebranded "Cheese For Everyone"
Ashlee Egge-Daborn or cheese for no one!! That can be as much of a celebration if you don’t like cheese yes?
quick question in skyrim when u meet sheogorath aren't you technically talking to the protagonist of oblivion because you become sheogorath after jyggalag is defeated in oblivion
Yes
Yeah
He mentions like, cheese and wine and stuff, and even goes as far as to say "You know I was there for that whole thing"
Tyler Jaynes yea i recently realized that i guess i missed it years ago
prizmo All good, yo
When I found out I was amazed
Also kinda sad, lol
The Hero who saved Tamriel was driven mad into Daedric-ship
Man, you are 100% right. I totally missed that
the oblivion soundtrack slightly reminds me of pirates of the Caribbean
nicholas pootlass that's funny you say that, I get that a lot from the Skyrim Soundtrack
ikr
Wtf
6:20 maybe TES VI main plot involves arrows to the knee
Sorry to bare bad news but there's not going to be a VI look it up, they are not planning on making another game, only elder scrolls online DLC
They said they were planning it and working on it, but it was on the backburner
+Jason Miller www.gamespot.com/articles/elder-scrolls-6-is-coming-but-not-soon/1100-6442514/
Sean O'Brien or a war with the thalmor
Arrow to the knee joke is because they don't have Greaves in Skyrim. Zero knee/shin protection. The previous games had Greaves.
TES VI will have Book 3 to "The Lusty Argonian Maid".
What did the Imperial guard say to the cannibal? "You have my ear, citizen."
We should try to figure out the plot of TES6 by seeing what people say in Skyrim and stuff like that, maybe books.
+Akașșș bruh that would take forever
I doubt its possible but TES 6 might take place during the 2nd great war. every imperial and high elf knows a second one is coming. they say so in the game
+Riley Crawford The Aldmeri Dominion desperately needs a spotlight in the form of an Elder Scrolls game. Given that conflict is bound to arise between the two again, as you've said, it would be an excellent opportunity for a theme.
I always felt like the Elder Scrolls soundtrack was a celebration of the beauty of life. Especially Skyrim's.
I'm so glad to hear that someone else loves Oblivion like I do. Best game of all time! And #2. Anybody remember Sinderion reference in skyrim with the red nirnroot?
Oblivion is one of my favourite games. I grew up with it!
i just started playing it and i love it
I wish i could unlearn everything I know about oblivion so i could re-experience it. Ive played it so much i know every little detail by now.
Marco Könnecke
How did Oblivion look like when it was a kid?
I mean, you said you grew up with it...
I meant that I played it a lot in my childhood
Marco Könnecke I know, I was being sarcastic. :]
Did you just say shaygorath? Really? Sheogorath isn't pronounced like that.
Shey-yo-gore-ath.
TheXtremeGuy Exactly.
+TheXtremeGuy
It's pronounced She-o-go-rath.
who. fucking. cares.
Shes-we-Dont-Care
Best Elder Scrolls game. Skyrim has nothing on this.
+Brad Yates Oblivion had much more substance in it
"Downloadable DLC"
Downloadable downloadable content? Really?
+InfinityCraft I laughed my ass off. Checking a finished video again before uploading to keep a good quality isnt his strength i guess...
It is like they guy from Futurama trying to sell Fry the Z Ray eye. It is better than X Ray by 2.
lots of people in the war quest lines of skyrim mention that there will be another war with the aldmeri dominion
I'm guessing that's foreshadowing TES VI's storyline right there.
I think Oblivion's music is not only the best in TES (which is REALLY saying something) but one of the best in all of gaming.
+sp00ky skeletor Agreed
+sp00ky skeletor Fair enough xD.
sp00ky skeletor Skyrim's music was amazing, but I feel that Oblivion's was just stunning.
That thing where the books show the names of TES games, yeah, Redguard came out before Morrowind so they foreshadowed two games. That's probably not a coincidence.
Well, after you complete either of the military campaigns in Skyrim, if you ask General Tullius or Ulfric what's next they say that another Great War with the Thalmor will likely occur soon. Pretty sure that will be the plot for ES6.
That may be true, TES games before Skyrim were set in same time period each few years apart from each other, while Skyrims story is ~200 years far from Oblivions. Maybe we get new story that continues after Skyrim one...
+SkYLine4032 Maybe, but it will probably happen Elsweyr.
+Backon Lazer I see what you did there :)
+Backon Lazer if im not mistaken there is a HUGE battle between Elswyr/Cyrodill/Valenwood also I think it is called where the Talmor are fighting against other elfs I think.
Gazza whizz >:)
After you finish the main quest in Oblivion, you may overhear a conversation about the Nerevarine (a.k.a. the protagonist in Elder Scrolls III: Morrorwind). Apparently, the Nerevarine left on an expedition to Akavir but has not been heard from since and his fate is unknown.
the elder scrolls lore is so diverse and well written that they essentially have every game idea for the next 20 years in either oblivion, Skyrim, or Morrowind
Yes my first Bethesda game :D i just loved to roam around in this game and admire the work they did.
First skyrim facts and now Oblivion facts... Are you doing facts on games I'm recently playing? Seems too convenient, either way great job guys!
+Offensive Gen. We're watching you.
the foreshadowing you're looking for is the mages guild questline.
The Eye of Magnus. Where did they take it, what is going to happen to it? What happens when the Thalmor find out we killed their agent, and that the psijics could be involved?
I'm hoping for a summerset isles + psijic order map/mainquest. with a Sload invasion perhaps as sideplot.
DIVISION BEFORE YOU BUY PLEASE!
They've already done one, I believe.
No, I don't think anyone is even allowed to do one until like tomorrow. Even ign, machinima, ex haven't so
+Nick Walker The division is already out. People have been making videos on it all day
+DCMBrothers But not reviews, that's the thing
Oblivion's music is so soothing. Sometimes I'll listen to it to calm down from a panic attack.
Favourite game of all time. Nine years on, still playing.
I dont watch all of gameranx's vids but when I do im not disappoint
+Xibzag Zagger Even if I have 0 interest in the video i'll still end up loving it XD
I actually never recognized the multiple use of voices xD
It's still SIR Patrick Stewart for you!
I remember loving oblivion so much I actually prayed to the nine for a snow day and got it I now am a staunch believer in the nine. Even though my parents did force me to finish a paper before I could play but hey you got to take the good with the bad
The number 1 fact is you can complete the game in the first mission: after escaping prison through the sewer go to the centre of the city to the building in the middle of the district where the final mission takes place (can't remember which one). Spam running into the corner of the door and you glitch inside the empty building. Turn round and you see a glitched door halfway in the floor. If you walk into it opens the final mission. Leave the building and you see the daedra attack everything. If you enter again you have a brief conversation with martin septim and the final cutscene is launched. You saved tamriel - xbox 360 achievement! (There is a video of this somewhere on youtube perhaps called how to break oblivion? Can't remember).
im pretty sure M'aiq was in every elder scrolls game
Nope. Only Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim.
Moon Mover ah, right
He's in ESO too, but no one plays that apparently lol
Actually ESO is flourishing
Oh I know, I just figured I would avoid trying to be nice about ESO as normally that just leads to hate :p
Did he just say.... "Shaygorath" .....???? Do you even oblivion bro ????
siclk Ppoop yes, it's pronounced much differently in Oblivion, but a huge number of us got sucked into TES from Morrowind. He pronounces his own name SHEHgorath in TES3, with emphasis on the first syllable.
Oblivion is the best Elder Scrolls!
Denis Van Kemseke ha
No
Limbo of the Lost is one of the strangest stories in gaming. Not only did it steal 99% of it's graphical content from other games and movies but it also somehow took 14 years to develop and release.
Development for the game began in 1993 with a planned release for the Atari ST and Amiga 500 with a demo being shown at game conventions in 1995. 8 years after the demo was shown, because those old systems were no longer relevant the game development was moved to PC in 2003. 4 years later the game was released in 2007 in Europe and 2008 in the US.
I love a throwback. this game is still relevant just because it's SO good.
Nice video dude! Oblivion was such a good game and these secrets are awesome!
Tes Oblivion is the best game ever in my opinion. The only thing that sucked was the voice acting lol.
'wait let me do that line again
they should get Samuel Jackson to play the redguard voices in tes vi
That's racist.
lol
That's not racisr. He'd make a super good voice actor for any race but lket's be honest, it would really be great if he voiced some bad ass redguard warrior. Maybe even some ork dude.
I painted my Kaldor Draigo entirely purple and in my gaming group we all agree that he is played by Samuel L. Jackson. because he's the most bad ass motherfuckucker alive. not because he's fucking black.
Also, fwould make a great protoss voice I think.
I... I dunno. I think he's done other good works, but the temptation would be FAAR too real for everyone to make the character lines "Samuel L Jackson" lines including all his fucking *_AMAZINGLY_* bombastic and badass shouting, cussing and other such craziness 😆
Even still I think if it was more than like two Npcs at most it would break immersion and make everyone - or at least _a lot_ of people - all "Oh my god!! ITS SAMUEL L JACKSON!!!" Every time one of his characters spoke. They did great with Patrick Stewart, so maybe if they kept it to one character they would do good.
Can you imagine if Samuel was the one that voiced the Ebony Warrior in Skyrim? That would have been badass
Oblivion legit has some of the most beautiful music Ive ever heard period.
I have to agree, the music in Oblivion is really great, peaceful. Thanks for the video!
The elder scrolls is definitely my favorite gaming series.
what about assassins creed?
I enjoyed assassins creed up and including until number 2, with Ezio. After that it kinda lost its charm for me.
This is best Elder Scrolls game.
SOEY JALADS haha
No
This video made me giggle like a school girl in excitement
+Jim Scialabba That reply to that comment made me wiggle like a school girl in excrement.
Wait whut?
Here's a fact for you: In TES: Arena, you can ask random npcs for rumours, and sometimes they'll tell you that "They say Morrowind is doomed to wither away from plague and pestilence this year or next. My opinion is good riddance.". When taken into context, it is a foreshadowing of one of the main plot-points of Morrowind, the plague and pestilence being the The Blight unleashed by Dagoth Ur. What's more, in Arena you get to go to Red Mountain (called Dagoth Ur in-game), and fight a vampire inside its cave system. 'Ash Vampires' are a thing in Morrowind, and the two games are set just some 10-20 years apart.
Another fact: both Arena and Oblivion have a similar basic premise in which Uriel Septim VII is attacked by a mage in service to Mehrunes Dagon, and the protagonist - a prisoner in the Imperial Dungeon - has to save the world.
It's obvious that Bethy didn't intend to foreshadow anything at that point, but it's clear that they took inspiration from Arena when making the next couple of games in the series.
Love Oblivion. Can't say it enough, even after playing it to death.
The next reference is probably who absorbed Alduins soul
The Laat Dovahkiin!
Scour Skyrim for any info involving Vallenwood or Black Marsh!
Well if you beat the civil war on Ulfric's side, he mentions preparing the soldiers for the eventual fight against the Thalmor.
Good point. I always which side of the Civil War ending was the canon one. I've done both and General Tullius says a similar thing about how the Empire is biding their time waiting to strike the Thalmor when they're in a false sense of security.
+TreezDontHug I wouldn't know. I've only done the imperial side once. But it seems like that might be our answer. As for the canon one, I've also wondered that
I've heard speculation that it's neither. I dunno how that would work though.
+TreezDontHug could be a dragon break. If you don't know what that is, look it up on the elder scrolls wiki
am I the only one who still plays oblivion?!
EpicBobness the nostalgia is too strong with you
No stfu I'm playing it now I love this game. Love it way better than Skyrim
Oblivion is a masterpiece. I never get sick of it
There was also an Easter Egg in Bloodmoon that foretold the events of Oblivion. Oddfrid White-Lip says, "When the dragon dies, the Empire dies. Where is the lost dragon's blood, the Empire's sire? And from the womb of the void, who shall stem the blood tide?" This is from the Sad Seer quest. She offers to tell you a prophecy of the future, and if you've completed Bloodmoon's Main Quest, this is what she says. If not, she makes a reference to the final Bloodmoon mission. This is obviously referencing the main story of Oblivion. When the dragon dies, the Empire dies=Emperor dies, war comes. Where is the lost dragon's blood, the Empire's sire?=Yo, where Sean Bean at? And from the womb of the void, who shall stem the blood tide?=Who gonna fight all dem daedras from Oblivions, y'all? True story.
the music from morrowind is reused in oblivion as well as in skyrim. listen close enough and you'll agree.
Yeah, it's all mostly the same, but like, different styles. Kinda rebranded
Emperorkang "closely"
load up oblivion and it almost sounds like you are starting skyrim.
That's more or less my point.
Well, see it as brand staple. It's a little trick of marketing business too. YOu hear those notes, you KNOW you recognize it and start to think, nostalgia kicks in, and soon you might find yourself on the hypetrain for a new game.
Alas, Metal gear did the same thing, taking a song and re-arranging intruments for the next release, quite a good idea, actually.
In Skyrim General Tulius says that there is another war coming between the Empire and the Elves, and in skyrim Bathesda did include a couple of battlles and sieges, like the siege of whiterun and solitude, so what if in the next game they go all out on sieging cities like in Mount and Blade: Warband, it would make sense to include siege engines and massive siege battles since thats what they wanted for skyrim but did not really include that much of because of hardware limitations.
Unless they actually make a new engine capable of running those siege scripts, i dont think so. And they REALLY love that engine i tell you, same one since morrowind with some little tweaks, even fallout 4 is using Skyrim's engine.
In an interview, Todd Howard said, "Do we plan on making an Elder Scrolls VI? Absolutely. But we don't have the technology for our plan right now." They might just be switching it up after all...

Skyrim's "Arrow To The Knee." Meme is the reference to the next game, just you wait.
+Anonomous0C Yeah in the new game there should be a quest where you have to shoot a lowly adventurer in the knee
+Anonomous0C I bet we'll play as adventurers on a giant arrow trying to prevent it from crashing into a giant knee.
+SoulerVids that would be an interesting take on it
DestroZacko It's a tragic tale, for the end has already been determined in Skyrim. The real choice will be a moral one, will we enjoy in the crashing?
+SoulerVids absolutely
I love how dedicated Bethesda is about the elder scrolls series. So much detail, thought, and time put into these games show how much they really care about it and us as the consumers.
+Isaiah Peterson Definitely admirable when you consider the size of their team back when they were creating Oblivion, too.

Why do the weapons in Oblivion look 1000 x more realistic than the jokes they call weapons in Skyrim? Did anyone else feel like they were swinging around paddles when they were given imperial swords or feel like the hand grips covered in serrated spikes were unnecessary design characteristics for the elvish weapons? And talk about that hooked pommel on the Deidric weapons that is never put to use. It was talked about in great length on another youtubers channel and I never thought much about it until he picked them apart but they are so...ugly. About the only weapons that have realistic proportions and designs are the iron weapons, the ebony and maybe some of the bone weapons, the rest were just too silly looking and illogical (even though we are dealing with a fantasy world, I still like some realism).
But thank god for mods that fix these issues!!
Benjamin Landgren the Elven handles aren't actually covered in spikes (or aren't suppose to be) that's just what happens when you zoom really closely on pixels, they're never exactly the shape that you were after close up.
+Dante McMahon, people must be running out of things to bash Skyrim for
right ... so how long have you played skyrim and oblivion ? you are really picking up the bare bones of this , you dont have anything else to pick on with skyrim so you bash on the weapons wich actualy look decent to good .
Kind of sad that every person ive met who played skyrim and creamed over it never even knew it had 2 other 3D games that almost trump it entirely..
Skyrim fanboys coming in raging bout how oblivion is the best in ur opinion. cuz ur opinion is fake an doesnt exist and only their does
Ahem, I like both games equally, it's Morrowind that gets overhyped
I would not put it past Bethesda to think that far ahead with the book in Redguard. They hinted at the setting and release date of Fallout 4 IN FALLOUT 3. There was a timetable in a metro station which said that train no. 2015 was going from DC to Boston.
Oblivion plot was also revealed in Sad Seer quest in Morrowind's Bloodmoon DLC. When you finnish the quest, the giver offers to tell you your future.
"Geilir the Mumbling couldn't tell my future, but Oddfrid did tell him about something else. He said that when the dragon dies, the Empire dies. He also said something about the lost dragon's blood and the Empire's sire, and the stemming of a blood tide. Geilir said it was all very cloudy, and does not refer to me directly."
Morrowind is the best written.
+Chirurgeon Crane Too bad most of the writing is in souless information dumping. Or did you mean the plot/s? I find it's my favorite in the sense of locations. Pretty much every location I can think of from Morrowind was damn great.
I fucking love this channel
+RabbitHole88 yesssss thank you!
I think that oblivion was planned. Most games start with little small idea fragments. They probably thought of the name way before they had any real game plan.
Right? The lore was already done, even tough it has expanded greatly since morrowind, they must've had tons of games ideas at different eras, before they settled on Oblivion as their next game.
Not to mention, Bethesda takes years to make a game. I believe it was six years to make Skyrim after Oblivion was done. So, it doesn't really surprise me that they already had the idea, they were probably already working on Oblivion.
Tackling Oblivion at the zenith of its relevance. Good job, gameranx.

Oblivion is far better than Skyrim in my opinion. Story, world, soundtrack, all of those are way better in Oblivion. Animation wise, sure Skyrim rules that department. I think all those who think Skyrim is better, most likely played Skyrim first. Of course Oblivion, Morrowind, Daggerfall etc etc will feel inferior if you start with the most recent game. Even after playing Oblivion for hundreds and hundreds of hours, when walking down a path, I can just stare into the wood and, just want to go there. Explore.. In Skyrim after the first or second playthrough it's like... meh.. just fast travel.
I love both, since Oblivion had a better main story, dark brotherhood questline, and sound track, while skyrim is a tad bit better in everything else
Good times...
I remember... Dungeon quest by investigating a family legacy, reach the deepest crypt, pick up and read a journal, realize that the writer is hundreds of years old, realize that vampires live hundreds of years, get attacked by the writer of the journal who is a vampire, kill him, wear his enchanted greaves like a champion. One of many great memories...
It’s not a coincidence, they most likely plan lore really really really ahead of the game releases. I wouldn’t be surprised if skyrim was written all the way back with daggerfall
