He freely travels all the realms of mundus and beyond absorbing everything he sees, gathering followers with every new place explored and tearing away the curtains of secrecy and lore with reckless abandon! He is the most powerful daedra, because noone suspects him but the guy has been around since before anyone can remember so....

Akin to a child enjoying the pictures in a kid's book, despite not really understanding what's going on.

      I mean no disrespect to the video's author, but the problem is him, not you. If the man's gonna commit to using purple prose, the least he can do is use words correctly. I mean, he uses "non-euclidean" at around 13:05 to describe the absence of typical flora or fauna, despite that having nothing to do with the term. Non-euclidean geometry is just geometry on a curved surface.
      He knew it was a word associated with Lovecraft's work and just went for it. And this is an issue with the whole video (or at least the first half hour or so; it was annoying me too much), like when he used the word cyclopean to mean big rather than monocular to describe a twisting tower of books. If he wanted a big word to describe it, he could've used brobdingnagian for its size or anfractuous for its winding shape.
      Without all the forced alliteration and frustratingly misused vocabulary, the video could have easily been half the length if the amount I watched was anything to go by.
      Maybe the misuse is the point, meant to show him going mad from dwelling within Apocrypha for too long, but it just came off as ignorant.
      Last I watched his stuff was a couple years ago. I don't remember this channel's videos suffering from this kind of quality control. Hopefully this is just a fluke.

So Camel's script for this is roughly 52000 words. I'm betting he hit a HUGE percentage of the average vocab.

      I wanted Elder Scrolls VI to be set in the land of the Akaviri, but that apparently will not happen. Would have worked nicely, what with VI being right there in Akaviri and all. The amount of ephemeral lore that would have to be solidified, the new races that would have to be fleshed out, the flora and fauna that would be generated, different terrain and building designs…I would love to have seen it, but that must have been too daunting a task when a redguard game could have been so much easier.

    Great work Camel!! I never really enjoyed this area much in my playthroughs, and always just straight lined it thru to get it over with. I have to admit that I was a bit surprised to see that as huge as it is, there are literally no secrets here. Everything to see and do is within the straight line path through the areas. Very different that the Forgotten Vale, which was rich with discoveries. I applaud your commitment to see this whole thing through!!

    Your narration skills are quite amazing to say the least. Not only have you made it enjoyable to listen to, but it fits so well when describing such a place as Apocrypha.

    Your language gymnastics are very pleasing to listen to - even more so on this video than your usual ones. Thank you for such a great essay.

    Absolutely astounding work.
    The amount of time it must have taken just writing this script, not to mention the research that would have to go into a project like this, has to be staggering.
    Your videos never fail to impress, keep up the grand work.

    Excellent and elaborate effort on this educational exploration of Skyrim’s most egregiously eery daedric empire. Well done, Camel!

    This man had the patience, perseverance, and the determination to complete this video, no matter how long or what cost. Even if the cost was his sanity with all of the black books. Mora is pleased by such thurst for knowledge. Great job Dragonborn.

    Of course Sheogorath has met himself. But when he did, neither of his selves were really themselves
