However, if you don't think Oblivion is the best TES game you are objectively wrong. sorry if parts are a tiny bit blurry, my footage had to be downscaled and my PC cant export 1440p so this is what we get :)

I used to watch my brother play Oblivion when I was young because my mom wouldn't let me play rated m games myself so I've always held this extremely romanticized version of this game in my head that's lasted to this day. I always felt so jealous of my brother watching him play. The idea of living what is essentially another life was so dazzling to me. Now, everytime I play this game I get a childish joy and I don't care about how bugged it is or anything like that. I still love this game to my core. It is probably my favorite game of all time because of the nostalgic, pollyanna feeling it gives me. :)
My older brother showed me Oblivion as well. I remember he asked for my help deciding what house to buy. I was hooked the moment i saw him walking around in these massive cities with all these voiced characters
Before that all I had played was like Pokemon, runescape, and halo
I need a girlfriend like this, so I can force her to watch me play Skyrim.
Edit: I got my current girlfriend to try Skyrim and after 10 minutes she went to the bathroom and vomited.
@@MisogynyMan I hate to break it to you, but Skyrim got your girlfriend pregnant.
@@Gotz_the_iron_hand Jesus I was afraid of that too, her youknowwhats also got oversensitive and seemed to grow.
But no her period arrived at the usual schedule.
Thank god, no little Dragonborns running around yet.
Same. Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim have a unique charm to them few games can compete with. Nearly 20 years later I still think about quests and random encounters in Morrowind and Oblivion.
"My god has four arms like Four-Arms in Ben 10."
- Mankar Camoran, Mythic Dawn Commentaries 3
"He doesn't even need the Watch, Hero! He's just Four-Arms all the time and it never runs out! Do you realize such magnitude of power!?"
"I fucking love Ben 10"
Dude I think he looks the most like trigon from teens titans
@@NoMaloneUnturned2Trigon only got two arms tho
@@spencermannan6075 yeah you are right
I love how Lorkhan is probably the single most magnanimous element of Elder Scrolls.
Find out how to create the material world with this one weird trick! Elves HATE him!
@@Ved000000
I mean, I'd hate Lorkhan too, given how he's depicted, and his actions aren't all that much better than some of the Mer he hates...
@@thalmoragent9344 Dude, you're everywhere! It's insane.
@@WretchedRedoran
*"As a Thalmor Justiciar, it is my responsibility to patrol and govern all Media to ensure no Talos Worship is taking place"*
He's basically the Loki of Elder Scrolls
When I met Mankar, I had already beat the Shivering Isles. So I was Like "I think You find it's Lord Sheogorath, my good midwife!"
Mfw your brother didn’t tell his servant that Sheogorath is now plotting against them both: 👿
I'm laughing so hard, I can totally see Sheo only ever referring to Cameron as just Midwife.
That's when mankar realized the game was rigged from the start
There's a popular community theory that Mankar Camoran changed his form to be that of an Ayleid. He is coded as an Altmer because the game has no Ayleid elf alternative, but the Ayleids looked very similar to the Altmer except for darker skin and features (which we see in Mankar).
Given the connections the Ayleids had to Daedra worship, and given how Mankars paradise looks very Ayleid design and is named Gaia Alata in their language, I think it's plausible that Mankar reforged his image to match the lost Ayleid race
and it would make some sense that they would be able to wear the amulet since the stone was created by them, being the stone of the white gold tower which they built.
But what was he originally?
@@EvelynNdenial he also used the knowledge within the Mysterium Xarxes to give himself the Dragonblood, which we know to be true and definitely would allow him to wear the amulet without any Ayleid connections. But yes I do like that link a lot :)
@@enermaxstephens1051 my best theory is that he was a Bosmer before he changed himself with the Razor. His backstory is that he was an illegitimate child of the Camoran dynasty of Valenwood, and whilst the validity of that is still up for debate, it's probably the most solid thing we have on him from before he became who he is now
@@enermaxstephens1051 I'd also add to that by saying that many of the Ayleids fled to Valenwood and sought sanctuary with the Bosmer once the humans took over Cyrodiil. There's definitely enough Ayleid history within Valenwood for a young Mankar to find kinship with
Terrence Stamp really gave his all performing as Mankar. I really appreciate voice actors who treat video game performances as seriously as any other medium.
"And now, kneel before Mankar Camoran!"
Oh so Mankar is the creator of the mod Tamriel Reborn. I had no idea the mod was planned since day one all those years ago.
Do you mean Tamriel Rebuilt?
@@junsukee Shhhh, let us believe.
I've heart the theory that Dagon's plan was NEVER for the invasion to succeed, merely for the status quo to be changed irrevocably. Destroying the amulet of kings, and ending the Septim line would change the fate of the empire forever, exactly as Dagon wanted.
I believe it considering the shitstorm that came after. Plus the fact that Daegon is the prince of "change" he probably had a good time watching it all unfold knowing the world would be thrown in chaos.
This comment straight up just changed my outlook on Mehrunes. From "moron who tried to just solo all of mundus" to "Genuine calculated psychopath who wants to see the world burn"
The speech from Mankar Camoran in Paradise reminds me SO MUCH of the mission in Halo 2 where you're the Chief fighting your way through the Flood-infested High Charity chasing after the Prophets, while the Prophet of Truth makes his speech over the oud speaker. Mankar Camoran even kind of sounds like Truth from Halo 3.
yeah both characters are voiced by Terence Stamp which is cool (at least in Halo 3)
@@ItsSkytheGuy
"I am Mankar, the voice of the Mythic Dawn!"
"And so, you must be silenced."
@@phantomsanic3604 "For your destruction is the will of Dagon! And I am his instrument!"
Terrance Stamp voices both Mankar Camoran and The Prophet of Truth (Halo 3)
Its honestly funny how easily the lines would cross over from Halo 3
Mankar's a rube being puppeted by Dagon. Even his rant is full of errors probably fed to him by Dagon as a joke. Mehrunes Dagon has never and will never care about any of his worshippers, a fact illustrated by the last mythic dawn cultist being the sacrifice required for him to give a shit about fixing his own artifact.
Yep.
I dont knooooow, mundus being another plane is pretty concvincing
Mankar's rant being full of errors is because the oog author (MK) misattributed a couple of planes in what was an offhand introduction to his vision for the character and it wasnt noticed until after the game was released and it was too late/cumbersome to fix.
@@jedaye47 Interesting. I still like the idea that Dagon is playing him, though. Mistake or no it really adds to the story of Oblivion, in my opinion.
@@gourdlord3064 oh definitely, that being said I could also see Mankar as seeking to betray Dagon (taking possession of the Amulet and making himself Dragonborn gives him a means to expel Dagon and rule as Aldmeri King of Tamriel)
There is actually a book in game that explains that mankar cameron could breath fire out of his mouth, referencing that he must be dragonborn. Which is why he can wear the amulet. It comes off as a plot hole until you stumble upon the book within the game.
the thought that Mehrunes Dagon said that Lorkhan was actually a daedric prince who was betrayed and slaughtered, Kinda makes me think. Mehrunes isn't big on lying, and the thought of them being buddies, just like boethiah was buddies with lorkhan in the original myth, is kinda wholesome
to be fair, dagon doesn't have to lie for that to be wrong, since the idea canonically doesn't originate with him. basically it's something that dagon's cultists believe but he never actually said, and not bothering to correct a false narrative his cultists believe is in line with dagon's character
My favourite Mankar/Dagon theory is that Dagon never intended to "win" and take over Tamriel. His plan was to set in motion the beginning of the end for the seemingly impervious Empire. The plan was to feed an unstable upstart visions of grandeur and arm him with the tools to enact a rebellion. Mankar then had the royal bloodline assassinated and steal the amulet in order to flush out and contingency plan heirs and force their hand into a hail Mary of destroying the amulet of kings. Mankar (as you suggested) was a pawn. His cult was his own delusion all the way down to the torture etc. Ultimately Dagon won in my opinion
Mankar also apparently didnt do his research on Daedra, considering he couldn't match a single daedric prince to their actual plane of Oblivion.
"Meridia's Coldharbour" lmao
That was Kirkbride's error. He fucked up the plane attributions (which is odd considering he established who had what plane originally) and they didn't notice until after the game had shipped.
@@passingrando6457 to be fair iirc it was some sample writing they repurposed, not intended for use originally.
At first I thought Mankar was that deluded and crazy so he mixxed them up. But it was just an error.
Lol you fools Molag stole Coldharbour from Meridia. Fools.
I still really love the theory that Dagon actually won and got everything he wanted, the dragonfires were put out, the septim bloodline is gone, and the Thalmor were put into power
True, but he'll want to overthrow the Thalmor as well, if they get to a powerful state... he's not a permanent ally 😅
not really, the dragonbreak literally didn't happen so there's still an heir and also there's a few towers still standing. I think the adamantineis still standing and technically the white gold is although it did fall briefly in oblivion
@@wearecoterminous
White-Gold Tower is deactivated, the Amulet of Kings was its Stone and now it's gone so, it's just a Tower now with no power... same with the Crystal Tower, the Altmer rebuilt it but as far as we know it's deactivated now since the Stone may also have been removed/destroyed when it fell
@@thalmoragent9344 I thought the whole point of becoming an aspect of akatosh was to protect the white gold forever? So we still have the adamantine tower, the throat of the world because dragons showing up did literally sweet fuck all and nothing changed because of them. I think the anumidium being rebuilt technically counts if they used the heart/bones of lorkhan instead of like a dwemer artifact that uses tonal architech but that's sorta left up in the air, the quantum moon was a tower but the thalmor figured out how to manipulate it so that's probably gone. Hopefully we see the logical conclusion to all of this in the future. We're currently setup to get the coolest elder scrolls game yet but odds are they're going to completely ignore the cool plot that they set up and make it about fighting giant enemy emperor crabs and worthless local politics or something dumb instead of bringing us one step closer to c0da. By the way that dudes right you literally are everywhere
@@wearecoterminous
No, becoming an Aspect of Akatosh was the way to channel all the power of the Amulet of Kings and then use it to fight Dagon. After that, it was used up and Dagon was defeated.
White-Gold Tower still stands but no more Amulet, as in, no more Stone for the Tower to be considered actively affecting Nirn
Throat of the World or rather, Snow Throat "Lies sundered and Bleeding" due to the Civil War, so whether Alduin being tossed away through time or whatever sealed the deal on top of the mountain, well... who knows.
As far as I'm concerned, Adamantine Tower is the last, officially active one. May be some on Akavir, but other than that speculation, well...
If you never played Oblivion, you are missing out.
By Azura! By Azura! By Azura!!!
I played Oblivion and Skyrim at least a thousand hours each.
Yet I know nothing of all this amazing lore because I'm always busy picking flowers and training alchemy.
Edit: I got my current girlfriend to try Skyrim and after 10 minutes she went to the bathroom and vomited.
I tried playing and almost threw up from the motion sickness.
@@vitocarlucci1114 I've heard others say the same
Bro! I was a huge fan of yours when I was a kid. And you are so right, this game is dank, danker than a wook at burning man
What's fascinating about the mysterium xarxes is the fact it's a book of knowledge, but a Dagon artefact.
This is because it's not JUST a book of secrets. It's a book of secrets that will show whoever holds it a fundamental truth of the world that will change them. Dagon's gimmick is the "Lord of destruction," but the scary fact is that he's, more importantly, the Lord of Change.
That's why it's so important to protect yourself when you read it. Without having a magic VPN to disguise yourself from the book, it will insidiously worm its way into your mind and leave you a new man.
That's what is interesting about Mankar's commentaries: they're not the secrets or knowledge of the book. They're the secrets and knowledge that defined Mankar as a person.
Dagon is Tzeentch confirmed 😂
The mystery of power. It’s Chim. It’s a book that when read one figures out the ultimate truth that all existence is simply the dream of a god. To truly understand this makes you an awoken dreamer who is lucid and can warp reality as they see fit.
However this truth is far too maddening to be truly understood and they become crazy powerful beings that are still mortal.
When one truly understands Chim and accepts it they exist as a demigod like Vivec. If they refuse to accept they are merely a figment of a dream they cease to exist like the Dwemer. They were the most technologically advanced and intelligent race so much so they achieved Chim but believed they were more than a dream and basically collapsed in on themselves.
After this amazing video, logically the king of worms Mannimarco should come next!
Thanks for these interesting pedias, especially the Elder Scrolls ones are great!
Oh, ye'h. Mannimarco would be great. Seeing a full video of his failure attempt in ESO to his ascension as a new god would be great.
He has a long history in the lore.
Mannimarco is a freaking cockroach that won’t stay dead so yeah he’d be a great choice
Funnily enough I was scrolling through RUclips high when I saw this video and thought it was about Mannimarco and got excited, then super confused when I saw home boy wearing the amulet of kings in white clothes
The theory that makes the most sense to me is that Dagon got exactly what he wanted. Brought about ample destruction, rebellion, and change to the status quo, then went back home to savor his accomplishments. If he were to fully extend his power to Tamriel, he'd be in contention with every other Daedra who didn't appreciate his changes, as well as leaving the Dead Lands vulnerable to incursions. Mephala and Molag Bal wouldn't miss the opportunity to show their treachery and dominance respectively, Meridia would possibly take offense at the corruption of life and death, and Sheogorath would complicate everything. As it stands, he had a great holiday and doesn't need to deal with that.
Also, Skyrim let's you visit Solstheim and fight Anduin, both products of Akatosh. A real god. Mankar is deluded.
The ideal masters did similar things despite not being Gods, so not a solid argument
I honestly can't wait for you to do a Villainpedia on Mannimarco himself... The only major Elder Scrolls Villain to arguably succeed at what he wanted to accomplish...
I haven't played Daggerfall, isn't he mostly reasonable there?
@Nick moon? He becam jone and jode? I only played ESO and Oblivion where Mannimarco was involved.
@@berilsevvalbekret772 No, he became the Necromancer's Moon that orbits Arkay every 8 days iirc
@@berilsevvalbekret772 In Daggerfall, Mannimarco uses the Mantella to ascend to divinity. His divine form is the God of Worms/the Revenant. He does not appear in Morrowind, but his divine form was interviewed regarding the Warp in the West - it was published in Where Were You When the Dragon Broke? which appeared in Morrowind, ESO and Skyrim.
@@berilsevvalbekret772 you played Oblivion. You did that quest with the Altar that makes black soul gems, I presume.
That light that shines down on active altars? The moon that eclipses Arkay and allows the soul gem covenant to be corrupted? That is also Mannimarco. The version you fight is the significantly shittier version of him.
By Azura by Azura by Azura! It's another Villainpedia in TES universe!
Thank you Ghost I rly appreciate your videos.
There are 2 kinds of people.
Those who read your comments with the adoring fan voice
And those who lie
I read it in the adoring fans voice immediately
his speech sends me goosebumps everytime.
I remember playing Morrowind as a kid and having long talks during sleepovers about my thoughts on Dagoth Ur and the Tribunal, coming to a point where we began to question if we even did anything right by the end of Morrowind's quest.
By Oblivion I had become somewhat frustrated that I couldn't cut the other way. It was weird always being a servant of the gods and of Akatosh. It felt like being used. I didn't agree with or accept the Knights of the Nine and so on. It would have been nice to let the world dissolve. Let it get taken. Choose "evil" once in a while. Just to see and just to get to the truth.
@liamsteam walsh Neither the heroes nor the villains achieved their goals in totality. The Hero of Cyrodil even becomes the next Sheogorath ending his/her's own being in the process.
Maerunes Dagon isn't evil, destruction is a vital aspect of reality.
The Et'Ada actually fled when they learned of Lorkhan's treachery. This is what created the stars in the Elder Scrolls because those are rips and tears into the realm of the Et'Ada which seep mana into creation. Oblivion is the space around Mundus which the Daedra were bound to as they were too weak to flee the space around Mundus, meanwhile the Aedra were too weak to leave Mundus and so punished Lhorkan.
All of them were Et'Ada. The ones that fled and created the stars are referred to as the Magna Ge.
most famous bosmer ever decides to change himself into altmer, really makes you think
I mean, the Bosmer kind of suck. They're a bunch of degenerated elf cannibals who have one cool power that permanently leaves them as eldritch horrors if they ever use it.
What power is that?
@@Grumbaki the Wild Hunt. They shed their elven forms and turn into powerful unspeakable monsters in defense of Valenwood and the Green Pact during times of great peril.
Problem is, a Bosmer that invokes the Wild Hunt will forever be the monster, it will never turn back.
TES lore is always more badass than what they put on screen. Would you believe that TESIV era lore had Skyrim as a nation with many powerful wild magic users, with wondrous wind and ice magics unlike anywhere else, where random mercenaries had a decent chance of knowing at least a bit of the Thu'um? Imagine we got that shit instead of some old dudes on a mountain, a shitty harry potter school, and a handful of other guys who know how to shout?
Bethesda literally makes every setting the games visit more boring for some reason.
@@passingrando6457 Minus morrowind, and most that lore is old lore from Daggerfall and Morrowind. They just copy and past the books from game to game.
@@ValdVincent my question is: why? I can understand the changes where something would be hard to implement in, but some of the changes look more like laziness. Not to mention the ones to make the game look more like a fantasy series popular at the time, like Oblivion drawing from Tolkien or Skyrim from Game of Thrones.
They often explain it (like Nords becoming distrustful of magic after the Oblivion Crisis, or Tiber Septim changing Cyrodiil to a temperate forest) but explaining why you made a setting less cool _doesn't justify making it less cool in the first place._
Full stop. Cryodiil would have been cooler as a jungle with Ayleid ruins towering magically concealed everywhere than generic Tolkien land, and Skyrim would have been way cooler with a bunch of Scottish Viking wild mages rather than dirty Norwegians who act like every Norse fantasy stereotype in the book.
Also I know I’ve commented on this before, but an underrated villain? GANON FROM WIND WAKER. his character specifically in that game is so incredible and vastly different from any other game in the series and it’s a huge reason why I love wind waker so much
Seeing a version of Ganon that's just... tired of it all hit home in a way I never expected to feel.
Where’s the person who was requesting this? I wanna see the smile on their face.
Something to remember when talking about the difference between Aedra and Daedra is that one class committed power to the creation of mundus, and the other didn't. They are the same type of being regardless.
And because of that, Daedra are immortal, Aedra are not.
Nothing like a good Cult Leader. Also, loving your stuff. Literally just finished your Lich King video, and you have actually peaked my interest in WoW now. Thank you.
wow is not like it used to be
@@udozocklein6023 nothing is, things change overtime. Grow up LMAO
@@zackhicks5320 why so stupid?
Hey man, just wanna say your channel has been a lifesaver for me. I got Covid a couple days ago and I've been binging the channel while struggling with the symptoms. I really like how easy your videos are to listen to, consistently super entertaining and I love learning all the tiny bits of lore I definitely missed playing through the games.
Thanks for the kind words. I hope you feel better soon buddy, I had covid for like 50 days back in 2020 so I know how much of a pain it can be. ❤️
I can't believe that Sean Bean was the voice of Martin Septim in Oblivion. That's so cool.
There are also some interesting theories out there indicating he is infact an Ayleid. It is a well know fact that many Ayleids fled to Valenwood after Alessia's raid over Cyrodiil and many of these Ayleids that fled there blended in with the Bosmer and many even made into there higher ranks in Valenwood's societies like politics and even royalty.
With that being said and the fact that Mankar's parents are high ranking Bosmers i think its possible that he is infact an Ayleid
I love finding RUclips channels that are just literal gold free entertainment for me this shit is good from random person on the Internet you’ll never meet keep that shit rockin
These videos remind me of the time me and my friend tried creating an elder scrolls lore bible in high school we spent half of our years there slowly working on it for it to go back to square one when Skyrim came out and changed the lore again
Bro, the quality of your videos are just getting better and better! Keep up the good work!
After getting back into elder scrolls lore, partially thanks to you, I love it. It’s so twisted and the way the universe works just makes slips and writing mistakes take on an air of legitimacy. Like lore mistakes are just retranslations of old knowledge since Nirn is dummy old. Love your content man, thanks for helping me digest more of these ideas.
Your content has a great balance of academic elbow-grease and down-to-earthness that I appreciate.
I never got to hear Mankar's final villian speach until today; I was a Khajiit assassin, and he was just so sweet and innocent and exposed on his widdle throne... how could I NOT put an arrow through his goofy face?! He died immediately... it was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Loved this from beginning to end. Instant subscribe and now I have some vids to binge :)
Honestly had to come back to rewatch this one, love your storytelling. Especially the four-arms line
Mankar is oddly convincing. Even when you know he’s wrong.
I would love to see a Villainpedia for Mannimarco: King of Worms!
I’ve never clicked on a video faster
Honestally, I would say Calypso, the Host of the Twisted Metal contest. There are so many variations of him and how the whole "Becareful what you wish for" plot twist is played throughout both TM:2, Head On, and 2012. But also juxtaposed by reality between the Colorful world Needles Kane (Sweet Tooth) sees and reality in he has crafted in his head through Twisted Metal : Black.
Dude that would be awesome
Honestally?
Not a full blown villain per se, but I really grew to appreciate Daud from Dishonored, especially since we've got to experience his perspective on things
I find it ironic that Mankar, an 'Altmer' elf, praises Lorkan and considers him one of the true Gods, but due to his actions empowers the Altmeri Dominion to vilify the Deadra more and suppress the worship of Lorkan/Talos
Mankar may not even have been Altmer. He's a Camoran; logically, he would have been a Bosmer. It's implied he used Mehrunes' Razor to essentially rewrite his race.
@@LordMortanius Ah, thanks for the info. Elder Scrolls lore is a bit too dense for my liking at times.
I’ve only ever played Oblivion but I love watching general Elder Scrolls lore videos :) I know you go into more specific subjects than that but it makes me wish there was a group effort to make some sort of “Tamriel 101” History class. Love the different view of Deadra worship!
Molag Bal, Mannimarco and Mankar Camoron are probably my favorite Elder Scrolls villains. Dagoth Ur is pretty intruiging as well.
If you like Molag Bal, play VIGILANT. The best depiction of the character to date.
just realized youve only been uploading for a year and i love all of it so far, cant wait for more 'pedia' videos
Your vids are underrated. Great work. Keep it up. This is the beginnings of a huge channel
18:58 cracked me up because I do the same thing when The Blades salute with their swords
“Now, this is a very evil and stinky book-“
-Professor Ghostcharm, Villians 101
Really love these pedia series man.
no fucking way
good to see you here brother
Congratulation, Welcome to Paradise Brother.
All I can do is sit and wait in anticipation for TES6. The culmination of all these villains. Perhaps Mankar and Dagon in fact DID succeed. Maybe they did win in the end.
love how all the little character icons look like discord icons
He essentially is the main villain the entire plot doesn’t work without him and your character doesn’t ever fight Dagon
Mankar Cameron has always been an understated but solid villain, I think both he (and Martin) embody the conflict in Oblivion even more than Dagon.
As for an underrated villain, how can I not mention Saren Arterius from the first Mass Effect? He's one of my favourite villains in a video game, would love to see you tackle him in the future!
After gods know how many playthroughs of Mass Effect, I've come to the thinking that Saren is actually an anti-villain, if only because his goals align with the Synthesis ending in 3. His methods were questionable, his intentions were to save the galaxy at the cost of humanity. Anti-villains are straight up some of the best written characters that exist because anyone you know could theoretically become an anti-villain.
Mankar Cameron is just a good guy. Leader, inspiration, visionary. A place in his organization means upward mobility, and respect.
Nice stuff:) How about Mannimarco next? Harkon would be nice as well.
Now we just need a Lucien Lachance video
Where di the Aedra and Daedra stained glass art come from? I like it.
Truely a divine gift! Thank you!
I love listening to lore of games I haven't even played ever. So glad I found this channel.
I didn't play Diablo but I followed his lore and it is amazing. I'm sure it'll be an amazing villain to discuss here. But I'd really like to see Mannimarco too.
31:39 the ebony warrior in skyrim & oblivion the most because. I really like that guy in skyrim.
for the end question: Kuben Blisk from Titanfall 2
Your villain series are great, wondering if you've played arcanum and if you think you can make an episode on kerghan. Thanks.
I think it's more likely that Sovengard is Lorkhan's deadric realm. It wouldn't surprise me if even Mara, Akatosh, and Kynarath all have deadric realms that are missing their princes because they became the Earthbones.
Aedric realm
I like to think that he just tied the amulet around his neck to seem powerful
Mehrunes is the rightful owner of the previous culpa, Lyg.
He was created to defeat Mola Bal.
Now he feels entitled to the next culpa, in effect, a completely new reality that he never conquered.
I.e. it's like Caesar reviving and thinking he still owns his old Empire.
Different world, not his anymore, but he can't let go.
You got it a bit mixed up. Molag Bal is the previous kalpa's ruler. His carapace became The Ruddy Man whom Vivec struck down.
Dagon was a compassionate demon/daedra who tried to save as much of the kalpa from destruction as he could, and was cursed by Alduin to his current form until he destroyed the last vestige of Lyg remaining in Nirn. He does not remember this, but still feels the need to destroy _something_ dwelling within Nirn.
Just found your channel, these are FUN videos to listen to while I am spelunking in a dwemer dungeon.
These voice actors were absolutely amazing. Excellent casting choices on Bethesda's part.
I like how makar calls coldhardbor merdia's realm.
Very well done, thanks so much!
Mankar got on HRT (highelf replacement therapy)
Where does the info that Camoran altered himself with the Razor come from? I can't find any info on him doing that or the Razor having that ability.
Hello from June or 2022, the world is kind of on fire, are we still gonna get that video on Martin septum?
Excellent video as always! I feel like a lot of people overlook Mankar as a villain. I would love to see you do a video on the Prophet of Truth or maybe even all 3 prophets from Halo 😇
27:03 it could also be that it is not the true neklace but one that he put on himself using the razor
Dude, getting cursed with vampirism at lower level after doing the Grey princes quest was a beast.
You needed a whole ton of supplies for the cure I wasn't sure where to get, like 5 Grand soulgems which were NOT easy to get early game with no money and the need to feed was tough because without a lot of lockpicks or lock picking experience (because again, early game/first play through) I ended up dying a ton in the sun until I finally found a sewer entrance.
So here I am, sitting in a sewer during the day and feeding on homeless beggars because I have no lockpicks or enough stealth and they sleep outside and spending all my time trying to read books and find a cure and when I do I need a whole bunch of ingredients I can't get.
It was really fun and imemersive, I felt like an outcast from society and I couldn't continue my playthrough until I was cured. Funny how things stick with you
Evolution through continuous violence and rebirth. Sounds like the level-up gameplay loop the player performs.
Wow, I just realized how little I remember from Oblivion.
As for my favourite villain…. probably the Guardian from Ultima VII - IX or Batlin
I just started watching you're videos I really like watching/listening to them while drawing. Idk if you have already made a video on him. But do you think you could make a villainpedia on Kain from Legacy Of Kain?🙏
professor theo from N64 Mischeif Makers seems like a good villian to tackle.
My favorite underrated villain? The Lich from Enter the Gungeon. He was a gunslinger who invaded the gungeon for no apparent reason, overthrew the tyrant ruling it, and became one himself. Hell, he has bullets for eyes, and there's probably more explanation than I can find.
Or Flying Cat in Battle Cats.
Really wish Bethesda would stop re-releasing skyrim and just remaster Oblivion or Morrowind so we can enjoy those masterpieces again in a new refreshing manner. I’d love to play oblivion with update graphics instead of looking at the uncanny npcs and hear a npcs voice actor change mid dialogue. Just these little tweaks would be enough for me to buy a new release just to experience oblivion refined. (I play on console so i cant mod the npcs)
Thanks for making these man. Top tier work, honestly. Would love to see you tackle the one and only King of Worms Mannimarco! The only Elder Scrolls villain to appear in multiple games :)
Anyone who can read the Mythic Dawn Commentaries and actually *understand* what it says deserves a gold star. That's some serious weapons-grade metaphysical weirdness.
There’s so much deep lore in this universe I love it
He would have been better if he was an ancient Ayleid king, it would at least make more sense with his final battle being in a pristine Ayleid throne room.
They already had that plot line with the nine divines DLC
I’m really hoping to see one about The King of worms someday!

Could you do a Villainpedia- episode on Mannimarco next?
He's one of my favorite baddies in the franchise XD
after watching nearly 12 of your videos in a row youve earned a loyal sub from me!
Excellent video! I find it interesting that many of the Daedra who seem like real jerks nonetheless often have a sort of indignation over how the Aedra treated Lorkhan or how their followers speak of him. Not only Mehrunes Dagon, but also Boethiah and maybe Azura as well. Maybe more. Are their any of the Divines who have a better attitude toward Lorkhan, who do not resent his actions or their role as earth bones or whatever they are called?
Xerxes (Arkay in Cyrodiilic) is usually referred to as Lorkhan's apologist
@@angelobarros3499 I know that Arkay is call the apologist of Men, so that would make sense. His rule of the cycle of life and death also would seem to make him likely to be in Lorkhan's corner. Thanks!
Sarevok and Irenicus from the Baldur’s Gate series are two of my favorite villains of all time
Had a hilarious moment as i entered Cloud Ruler temple with Martin. I've been through it so many times, so as Jauffre was speaking and the Blades stood on ceremony, i cast frenzy on one of the Blades triggering all of them to attack me. Since Martin was still my follower, he threw himself between me and the Blades whereafter they proceeded to beat him senseless, knocking him out and leaving him unconscious on the ground. They then quietly got back into position as if nothing happened. I was in tears.
Would be cool to see a Legacy of Kain villain. Moebius, The Elder God, or even Kain himself since he appears to be a villain at first glance.
Darth Treya from Knights of the Old Republic 2 is a amazing villain that really helps bring Grey into the world of Star Wars
Where do these HD cutscenes come from?
I kind of expected Manninarco to be covered before Camoran
