      RNG is the bane of content. and sadly every damn game released in the past 5+ years is moving towards more and more RNG...why you may ask? because it allows for the laziest of coding, and the most uninspired stories, which for developers translates into the ability to push more crappy content out in a shorter timeframe. "sure the games not great, but it only cost 1/4 of the price of previous titles, and it shipped in 1/8 the timeframe."

  • @TheNN
    @TheNN 6 лет назад +88

    Y'know, on finding all those skeletons with fire resist potions, I've got a couple other thoughts which might explain it. Now both do assume that said skeleons were once Falmer, ancient Snow Elves.
    1. Ancient Falmer were weak to fire. It's not unheard of for races, especially elven races to have a weakness to magic, most of all High Elves, so it's not impossible for that to be the case here.
    2. The Nords, assuming that said skeletons were being attacked by Nords, were using Thu'um, the Voice. More specifically the Fire Breath shout. Being the most common shout that Dragons use, I can see this being the most commonly known amongst the Nords back then as well. Ergo, the ancient Falmer in their panic whilst being attacked tried to use Fire Resist potions to prevent their death, and were either blasted or cut down before they could.
    Both could also be true as well. It's very well possible that the Nords knew Falmer were weak to fire, and so went in with the specific goal of primarily using fire in various ways to take them down all the easier, be it through Shouting, fire magic, or more conventional means like fire arrows.

      Makes sense, I'd totally be down with every race having specific weaknesses.

    • @TheNN
      @TheNN 6 лет назад +10

      To extend on things a bit more, it also makes sense that if Falmer/Snow Elves back then were weak to fire, a Falmer vampire would be INCREDIBLY weary of the sun as the two weaknesses to fire would stack together, plus that, coupled with the sun being a weakness as well, would be a very very bad thing indeed for such a being.
      So wanting to end the 'Tyranny of the Sun' would on the flip side be a goal one like that would seek above all others for very good (well, evil) reasons.

    • @pieoverlord
      @pieoverlord 6 лет назад +2

      I thought the dragons and the Thu'um came AFTER the genocide of the Snow Elves?

    • @TheNN
      @TheNN 6 лет назад +4

      Honestly I'm not sure. Both events happened in the late Merethic Era, and no specific years or time frames are given beyond that. So either could've happened first.
      It's possible that the Snow Elves were attacked first, and by extension it's also possible that Dragons were involved. Frankly the Skyrim lore is kinda all over the place. On one end we've got the Falmer stuff, on the other apparently they also worshipped Dragons after they came from Atmora as well. But if dragons were involved it still fits my above point that the Snow Elves specifically made fire resistance potions for themselves as there was a lot of fire used in one form or another.

    Perhaps the Falmer and/or snow elves practiced sky burial? Some cultures do deliberately leave bodies out for the birds, and Auriel is associated with birds, so it would make sense. Maybe the berry bush in that one skeleton was from a bird pooping out the seed, lol.

    Perhaps the locations the Paragons teleport you to used to be important rooms or halls. Perhaps they were just used as shortcuts, the forgotten vale is huge after all.

  • @tuckermoore8356
    @tuckermoore8356 6 лет назад +3

    The skeletons who died on the chests were most likely killed trying to escape the attack on the chantry by the Falmer. The more interesting piece I haven't figured out is how the Frost Giants came into possession on the paragons considering how valuable they must have been.

    Hey guys, did anyone catch the water fall that drops you right back into the Darkfall area? Travel further south past the second ice wraith to the end of the lake. There's a tiny waterfall that sweeps you into a deadfall back into Darkfall grotto, then Darkfall passage. Super fun, like a rollercoaster Skyrim style 😬 great job as usual Camel, you're the best!!

  • @jonathanfulmer8422
    @jonathanfulmer8422 6 лет назад +21

    I'm fairly certain that most of the skeletons were slaughtered by those two dragons. Because if dragons are eternal, and they live the *FORGOTTEN* Vale, if they did kill all of the snow elves living in the forgotten vale it is likely that they were not resurrected by alduin but rather have lived there ever since the snow elves. And the blades would not have hunted them down because of course the vale that they live in is clearly forgotten, hence the name: forgotten vale. This is also apparent in the fact that you will find pillars submerged under the ice hinting that something must have had to destroy those pillars and fling them into the water.

    • @DavetheNord

  • @ya_fbr
    @ya_fbr 6 лет назад +15

    12:05. Maybe there is a more or less sane reason why all those skeletons are out there. Every culture and sometimes even some detached little communities have their own traditions of burying their kind. Throwing the body into the water with the most precious possessions of the deceased elf (hence the satchels) might've just been the way snow elves in the Forgotten Vale buried all their dead.
    Looking at the surroundings, the place is pretty brutal and there were obviously quite some deaths not only from the old age there. Besides, there is so much water in that place, which is no use for elves, especially considering how cold it is, so it wasn't really occupied by anyone or anything, ever. Digging and burying is a very long process, especially with the amount of elves that most likely died all the time, and with how the whole place is basically covered with ice, meaning that the ground was probably almost stone hard. Adding to all that, most of the water is covered with ice, so it's not like you're walking around outside and see lots of bodies lying around in clear water. They're technically buried underneath something too. And, it's actually sort of poetic, just not very common for us.
    14:48. Now this. Here, it might be a graveyard. Falmer still went a long way from snow elves, and the culture changed too, so they might've started burying the bodies this way. Or, this might be a sacrificing ritual or something. Maybe those things are not grave stones, but some sort of ritual stones that are supposed to talk to gods or nature or whatever. And, at 18:52 there seem to be the same "ritual stones" around the troll's scull as well, so I can totally see them being a part of the falmer religion or something of that kind. Doesn't mean they can't mark grave stones as well, though, since death and after-life is a huge part of many religions. We might never know.
    16:10. It might've been a punishment, or that person - whoever they are, might've done that themselves. People, who commit suicide do things like that quite frequently. They mark the place, or take a picture of it and post it online, or just write a goodbye letter. Those are more or less mundane, modern things people do, so what we see in the Forgotten Vale might just be the same psychological reaction, just expressed in a different way, with the only tools and resources this poor person could have had there at that moment.
    17:16 and 21:16. Here, I'm not sure about one detail, so this whole idea of mine might fall down the drain, but I'll still say it. First, the detail I'm not sure of - how did snow elves transition into falmer? They all collectively became blind, but I suppose that they became this half-sane, half-animal creatures after years, when generations changed, right? If that's true, maybe mining was performed by the 'middle ground' generations. So, sort of the half-falmer, half-snow elf generation that was already pretty basic, like falmer, but still had quite some features and habits of snow elves. The falmer could then just lose the ability or need to mine with time, as the generations changed and they became more and more animal-like, but there was a certain point, when the falmer were just snow elf enough to still mine, but already use the more simplistic weapons and all that.
    From 24:16 and all the way through to somewhere around 30:00. As for the paragons, obtaining some of which doesn't feel very rewarding, I'm sure that from the story's perspective, there was something very important there and it just got ruined by time or some sort of natural disaster, maybe something else. But, from the game's perspective, I've always found it a bit lazy. Maybe they tried to make it "level-ish", as in: the harder it is to find the frost giant and fight him off, the cooler the prize is. But, I'm not sure how accurate or circumstantial this is, so who knows. Going through all that trouble and not really finding much did feel very shitty, though. Wish there was something more important there.
    Anyways, those were just some things that came up in my weird brain, while I was watching.
    As always, fantastic video. I'm sure a lot of work and time was put into this, so I appreciate it immensely. Jokes and puns are on point, as always, so bonus points for that. Looking forward to see more amazing stuff like that in the future!

    The Forgotten Vale is my favorite place in the game. I like the remote areas, and in mods I like having the house in its own world space or be high in the mountains around the borders. But the vale takes it to another level. It's a beautiful glacial valley hidden by unscalable Druadic (can't spell it) peaks. From the Inner Sanctum forged in frozen peaks to the alien forests, the snowy forest accessed from the Paragon Portal, the frozen lake where dragons lurk, the Falmer caves, the huge Glacial Crevice, even the crag where spiders nest, it is a beautiful, alien place that I loved when I first saw it. Somebody, please make a mod where you rebuild the Inner Sanctum and put it on Xbox, I bet it would take a lot of scripting, but people have remade the entire game.
