Hello and welcome to episode 46 of the podcast.
I'm Michael.
What the fuck was I?
I was like, my brain died for a second.
We are the Knights of Entertainment, a podcast covering your favorite and unknown movies,
games, comic books, anime, and more weekly.
We appreciate you being here and hope you enjoy the show.
This is what we are covering tonight.
We are going to go down a little bit of a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories for the
Elder Scrolls today.
You guys know what the Elder Scrolls is, right?
I know we haven't seen it in years.
Decades, some would say.
But before we do, like, share, and subscribe to the channel.
You can also enjoy this show on YouTube, Spotify, Rumble, Odyssey, and more.
We also have membership tiers on those platforms if you'd like to support the channel, or you

But let's go ahead and get into this.
All righty.
So we have 25 Elder Scroll fan theories that may or may not be true.
But some of them are kind of interesting.
So the first one we have is the Dragonborn was forged by gods.
So this theory offers another explanation of the origin and history of the main character.
This one sort of exists as a bit of a middle ground between the established and aforementioned
theories.
This theory states that the gods forged the Dragonborn, that they were crafted by the
hands of the deities of the world and were unleashed upon it when they were completed.
And though this would make them mortal, it would also give them a connection to the gods
that the players seem to want to establish throughout the games.
So instead of just being born of the world, it was like a molded...
Specifically made to...
Yeah.
To have a connection to the gods.
I don't know.
I did love going around shouting at people.
Quite a bit.
They didn't do a good job making the characters morally upright.
No.
And the Fus Ro Dah did nothing really.
It never really helped you much in the fight.
If I'm being honest, I never used any shouts.
I used a lot of bows and arrows.
Yeah.
I'm very basic with my play style.
People always upgrade.
This is me, right?
So everyone has all these fucking great builds and all these awesome bleed over time and
status effects and everything in games like Dark Souls and all this stuff, right?
And then you got me with a big shield and a massive sword just fucking swinging at everybody.
Basically I'm just all hands.
And it works for me.
I beat Dark Souls 1 with them.
When everybody else quit.
I beat Bloodborne.
Just fucking swinging my little axe thing.
I fucking tore through Elden Ring with a fucking massive...
The sword I found at the beginning of the game, this long sword in a fucking wagon,
like a couple of miles away from the tutorial area.
That's the one I stuck with.
I was like, that's fine with me.
It works.
Why everybody else is trying to upgrade everything.
I'm just like, give me...
Just give me these hands.
See, I play the cheat of always being the sniper bowman.
Always.
That's basically my thing for Skyrim was it.
It was just fun.
It's just easier.
I can catch someone like a mile away.
Yeah.
And whenever you have the archery skill all the way up with max...
Where you breathe in and you get the slow motion and everything.
Just that fucking plus, like a times 2.5 extra damage if they don't see you sneaking and
shit.
It's tremendous upgrades.
Where you can almost one shot a giant.
Basically, yeah.
Like, oh fuck.
And it just hits you in the heart.
And then if you have a poisoned arrow or something like that, it'll go along with it.
Fucking watch one of those dragon lords come up out of his fucking tomb and just catch
him in the fucking face.
And then the effect of where it's like the cinematic effect of them dying.
With that little kill cam?
Yeah.
Fucking hilarious.
Mostly when they had an arrow right through their face.
It's like they just woke up.
Mostly when you get to kill cam when it just finished with the...
Their animation of waking up.
Where it's like instant.
Like there's an instant fucking dead body.
Like they have the arrow in them before they're like...
So they're like, oh, I'm probably done doing the standup animations.
Pretty much.
And then it takes a second for the game to catch up.
Oh wait, I'm dead.
Oh.
I just turned to dust.
It's like, damn.
Alright.
Next one is the Elder Scrolls and Fallout are connected.
They put, this may seem farfetched and not one that they personally believed, but some
players believe that Fallout and the Elder Scrolls occur in the same universe, but that
Fallout came first.
These players do not buy that the Elder Scrolls aligns with a medieval period, but rather
that they exist in a time long after the events of Fallout.
When society has finally become, has finally started to rebuild itself.
No longer scavengers and scorched earth, but rather thriving citizens of a new world.
Hmm.
That's cool.
So that's a more unique theory.
There's no radiation though.
That should last like 10,000 years.
You could be really far into the future though too.
I hope so.
Cause we could be walking through fucking Elder Scyrum and get fucking radiation poisoning.
Like, oh shit.
That's what all the, what is that ore that the Dwemer found?
That blue ore?
God.
I can't remember the name of it, but where they turned it into different weapons and
stuff like that, it's probably all radiated shit.
Maybe that's what they just fucking died from radiation poisoning.
The next one is the Elder Scrolls multiverse theory.
This multiverse theory attempts to explain that the fact that the Elder Scrolls, which
are scattered throughout the world, exist as tangible and accessible records of all
of the possibilities which can be contained within each and every parallel universe in
existence.
It might be nice to get a hold of one of these when debating a major real life decision in
order to see how each path works out.
So they're basically saying that each Elder Scroll itself is looking into another parallel
universe.
Yeah.
That's wild.
I mean, that's kind of a meta type.
Like a celestial computer at the center of everything that just records all information.
Pretty much, yeah.
That's cool.
The next one is the Thalmor want to destroy the pillars.
So this theory, which originated from internet gaming forums, attempts to explain their motivations.
The theory states that the Thalmor is attempting to knock out the pillars that are holding
up the world since there's certain pillars that hold up the existence of the Elder Scrolls
universe.
Like you have the White Gold Tower, you have what's the one in High Rock?
Well, yeah, it's been a long time.
So I played Skyrim.
It's been a while for me too.
I might want to get back on it.
But if I do, you know me, my brain will just fucking fall in love with it again.
But basically their theory is that that's the Thalmor's whole goal is to destroy these
pillars.
They just kill them too?
What?
Would they just kill them all as well or is it just a fucking world crash?
No, I think they would go to a different realm since they're elves.
Fucking elves.
Yep.
And then we have the tragic fate of Lydia.
Lydia?
Who Lydia?
Remember who Lydia is?
That one helper.
That annoying one.
The one that gets in the way every fucking time.
Yes.
This thing they put.
Some players have found themselves exceptionally frustrated with Lydia and her memory or lack
thereof.
So frustrated in fact that they've attempted to figure out exactly what led to her being
in such a state.
One theory states that someone tried to wipe her memory at one point, did a terrible job
of it or a very good job as to as her ability to process and retain information was relatively
destroyed in the process.
Jesus.
Because this character.
Get rid of fucking lobotomy.
Because this figure has found the balance between being a figure of pity and annoyance.
Yeah, she's a...
This guy just gets in the way.
I mean if we're just being honest, they just do with bad AI programming.
Yes.
On the business part.
They made a horrible companion.
Yes they did.
With her specifically.
Oh my god.
And I think she can only level up to like level 35 or 40.
How does she level up at all?
Yeah.
I think she can.
She died so quickly.
In Skyrim your followers level up to whatever level you are.
Oh.
To a certain point.
What's the cat's name?
The one that tries to give you the scrolls to blow up at the beginning?
What?
You don't remember the fire scrolls?
I don't remember at all.
He's one of the few I think that can get to level 100.
I believe.
Out of most of the other followers that you can have.
The next one we have is the Dwemer will rise.
What exactly happened to the Dwemer and are they actually extinct?
According to most commonly spread theories which have been floating around the internet
as of late.
No they are not extinct.
Some believe that they are hidden deep within the mines that they force the elves to build.
Others say that they flood entirely and others even believe that they have found a way to
hide in plain sight.
So a lot of people.
I got two theories.
One they mess with the really high level technology and they ascended reality.
They went above the normal state of being.
Or two they mess with something, high level technology and all their souls got fucking
encapsulated in their robotic creations.
I could see that.
So like their souls are now in like you know like the soul traps gems but they had a different
version that now they're all part of their own robots.
I could see that.
But in Morrowind the third game.
There was that one Dwemer wasn't there?
There was that fat one.
But there was also Dwemer ghosts that you could fight in the Dwemer ruins.
So I mean they have they're still part of this reality if they're ghosts.
Some of them didn't descend.
Yeah.
Or I mean to be honest they probably didn't have a good theory yet.
So they just added that as a character thing.
Yeah.
Like a little enemy to fight.
Because wasn't that the Dwemer that had the spider legs wasn't he on the plane of oblivion
or something like that at the time?
He was in a cave because of that corpus disease that they had in the one that would get you
every fucking time.
Yeah Morrowind.
You were supposed to have it apparently for the main game or the main storyline.
But he was like just a fat and lost his legs.
He said he went out to adventure and he came back to his hometown and everyone was gone.
Yeah I think he went to a different plane of oblivion for the for a different thing.
And then came back and was like where the fuck did they go?
And then being like the last person of your species.
That sucks.
Plus you got no dick anymore.
I mean Jesus Christ what's the point of living?
Well I mean who are you gonna screw?
Everyone else.
Everyone else?
They got Argonians.
The lusty Argonian maid.
Oh god that weird fucking books.
Yeah I've read all of them.
The next one is the Mora is our friend.
Mora?
Or may I ask Mora?
That one guy?
The tentacle, Lufcrapthian.
Oh nevermind.
This theory piggybacks off of an earlier theory.
One that has basically saying that you're the evil character in the entire game.
I mean we're players so yes.
That's pretty much.
The whole century.
The horrors we've committed.
The fucking war crimes we've perpetrated throughout the lands of Tamriel.
Give credence to that.
And they put step one after that's been achieved we can move on to steps two and three.
So you have step two that Mora is an evil little friend and step three the anonymous
letters from a friend that you receive throughout the game are from Hermes Mora.
What game was this one?
Well it's a mixture of all of them but that would be Skyrim I would believe.
Interesting.
You got a letter from a friend.
Weird.
The theory is that it's really Hermes Mora doing it.
That's your friend throughout the entire thing.
Yeah that weird octopus tentacle you can talk to that oozes out of a wall or something.
Yeah.
It's been so long since I've played.
He's that Daedra.
That shit freaks me out.
That he's supposedly a Daedra that exists because of all the knowledge within the world
or something like that became like a conglomerate.
Damn.
After the world was created.
There's like a lot of lore.
Yeah that's got to be.
Our Elder Scrolls in general is just packed.
The next theory the Dragonborn orchestrated everything.
So there is a rather popular theory floating around that states that all the events of
the opening sequence of the game were staged or rather set up by none other than the Dragonborn
himself.
Yeah I got myself arrested.
You're finally awake.
Why would they do such a thing?
Some suggest that it was an indigive of the characters penchant for all things evil while
others simply believe that it was all done in good fun.
What are we a Daedric Prince just having fun with the lesser beings?
Kinda yeah.
I guess in a meta way we kind of are.
We are an entity beyond their understanding.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
That's like that would blow your brain right there.
It's a hugely meta like look at me.
Like yeah like hugely.
Oh that's wild.
The next one is the Dwemer blinded the elves.
All of the elves that work in the Dwemer run caves are blind but why is that?
Some believe that they were simply born that way.
Others believe that it was a product of living in the mines for so long whilst others believe
that something a bit more sinister was happening.
These people believe that the Dwemer purposefully blinded each and every one of them so that
they would never see the realities hidden deep within those caves and mines.
You talking about the Falmer?
They were blind?
Yeah.
Little fucking.
That's why you could walk past them if you were quiet.
Gollum bastards.
It's exactly what they're all.
I hate them all.
I killed them all.
I slaughtered them like animals.
Oh I hated the bug.
Like Anakin Skywalker.
I killed them all.
I hate the bugs.
I hated the bugs the most.
The women and children.
Just everyone.
You do though.
We're fucking war criminals.
The next theory, are we the villain?
Yes.
Yes we are.
Some players took the main characters twain with morality to heart and began to question
whether or not they were a good person at all.
Though it is common for the main character or playable characters in a game to be good
people who do the right thing unless the player has something different in mind, not every
game follows this pattern.
Some believe that the main character of this game is actually the villain of the game and
that we are not as pious as we'd like to believe.
We're not as pious.
Of course not.
No we do.
I break into people's houses to steal their shit all the time.
And you're part of the dark brotherhood.
Yeah.
I would commit murder.
Just going and shanking people.
Shoot someone for no reason.
And you'd dip out.
The next theory is the dragonborn is a true god.
Though it is important to say that not everyone agrees with this theory, some people believe
that the main character is not mortal at all.
Therefore mortal ideas of morality should not apply to them whatsoever.
These people believe that the main character is a god that has descended on the world in
which the game is centered around them.
Now there is a bit of a debate on whether they are there to help, hinder, or have a
good time.
But since they are the god, morality kind of goes out the window.
That's just another meta.
Yeah.
That's basically what we are.
Yeah.
You're basically a god within the game.
Not only that, we have like high levels of omnipotence within that world.
We know everything of that world.
And what they're going to do.
Because we've played it multiple times.
Damn that's meta as fuck.
Isn't it that?
We can die and then come back and then the enemy is still thinking that's the first time
they're meeting.
But that's the fifth time we've fought them.
Exactly.
I guess we are.
That's weird.
That theory is 100% true.
That's why some of these theories are true.
So, eh, could be.
Next one is Never Trust the Dragon.
This theory states that the dragon who sits atop the throne of the world is actually a
super evil and a villainous character.
Due to his backstory, including him decimating humanity and his constant need to remind us
to never trust the dragon, some players have begun to wonder whether he has truly turned
his back on his own kind.
Maybe he is just being honest and wants to teach mankind how to fight back.
Or maybe he just wants his next siege to be a little more challenging.
To my parthenax?
Yeah.
Okay.
He has that weird phrase but it's like what's some more, or what's better?
To be born good or to overcome your evil nature and become good?
And become good.
Yeah.
Maybe he's full of shit.
Exactly.
The next one is Titus Set Everything Up.
The Emperor.
Yeah the Emperor.
Titus Septus or something?
Yeah.
Like the Eleventh?
Yeah.
Do you, the good people of the internet, remember Titus?
Yeah.
The Emperor who's defeat caused him to sully his reputation past the point of repair?
Well, some people believe that the hired attempt on his life was orchestrated by Titus himself
in order to save face.
Look, he was old, he was tired, and there was no way that he was going to save his reputation
on his own during his remaining years.
He's talking about the Oblivion Titus, not the new one in Skyrim.
Would that be the one off of Oblivion?
Yeah.
Yeah, because that's the old one that was trying to like, get that assassinate from
the Brotherhood.
Yeah.
But he fucked up because they did kill him.
Yeah.
They kind of went too far.
But a politically disguised end to one's life would make him a martyr, a sympathetic
creature and not someone you could so easily blame for stuff.
So he wanted to kill him.
He wanted to die as a martyr.
That makes sense.
Well, yeah, because that strengthened the Empire.
You ended up fighting the Ereperent, helping them push back Oblivion.
So yeah.
That was pretty believable.
The game is The Elder Scrolls is the next one.
It's a stupid title.
Let me guess.
They're saying that The Elder Scrolls is real and that the cartridge itself, the actual
video game, somehow found itself in our world?
Is that what it's trying to say?
So they put.
Okay, so this may sound a bit weird, but bear with me.
There is a theory that states that the game itself is the real life version of The Elder
Scrolls.
This theory states that the game itself is an interactive version of one of the many
scrolls which can be found throughout the worlds that act as an anthology of the world's
lore.
These scrolls hold more powerful legends and stories about the world in which the game
is set and the idea of playing through one of choose your own adventure type things is
a very exciting version of it.
So yeah, like Jumanji basically.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's a weird theory.
Super meta.
There's been three of those so far, three meta ones so far.
The next one, the bug jars might have a purpose.
Look what happens when you don't give us a new game.
Look what you do, Bethesda.
You start making people go fucking insane.
They fucking lost their damn mind.
The next one is the bug jars might actually have a purpose.
Bug jars.
Yeah.
Don't remember that.
It's bug jars that have runes on them, on the bottom.
Okay.
So they put, ah, the bug jars.
These objects have confused players for eons.
Do they have a purpose?
Will a purpose eventually be patched in or are they meant to just be another object within
the game to add a bit of realism to the world?
Well, one of the current and most accepted theories on the matter is that a special and
game-changing use for these infamously vexing bug jars will eventually be patched into either
current or future versions of the game.
Many think this purpose will be explosive.
So the theory goes is that if you put the bug jars in certain cities and then you do
a ritual, it'll blow up everything.
Like a nuke?
Kind of, yeah.
People have went insane.
Fallout 3.
Well, I mean, they already think that it's another fallout.
Yeah.
So the next one is what happened in Rorikstead?
Rorikstead sounds familiar.
That's not a murder mystery one, is it?
Well, this is that town that has nobody in it, really.
Okay.
So they put, okay, so we know that something happened in Rorikstead and it was bad.
And whatever that happened, whatever that something was, it may or may not have involved
the Daedra.
But what happened?
Some theories state that the land was wiped in order to get rid of the Daedra who live
there once and for all.
Others claim that the Daedra found the land after the event had already occurred.
But one thing is for sure.
This place is absolutely spooky as hell and they won't ever set foot there again.
Because there's just like nobody there.
There's that lighthouse that freaked me out.
At the end of the, by the shore on the western sides or the southern.
You go in there, it's this warehouse and like there's just dead bodies.
Like someone mysteriously killed these people.
And like that's the only time in the video game I was ever scared.
Really?
Because it was like, it was real creepy.
And like you go downstairs, the lighthouse and there's a wall broken open and you go
through there and it's just a fucking bug.
Came up and killed them all apparently.
It's just creepy walking around with dead bodies, you know what I mean?
Just like what the fuck happened here?
In terms of like, you walk in like on dead bodies in like a fucking tomb or something,
right?
Yeah.
All these fucking adventures got killed.
But like in a regular house, you're like what the fuck happened here?
Blood splattered everywhere or some shit.
Kind of like whenever you first see the, what's his name, Malek Ball for where you go into
that house with that priest.
Shit starts flying around.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
But you kind of like, you like, you kind of expect some weird shit like that.
But yeah.
Just.
But then you go farther and farther and there's the altar at the very end.
That was creepy.
Yeah.
I remember that.
That shit was fucking hilarious actually.
The next one is the Daedra of Rorikstead.
Diving a bit further into the Daedraic specific theories, there are several attempts at explaining
what their role in Rorikstead has been.
Some theories just involve casual odd and occasional dark magic.
However, some theories go beyond that.
One theory states that the Daedra moved into town and began using the women of the town
as offerings for their special meetings.
They convinced the people to go along with it.
And what was a, what has been left with their spooky nightmare is what you see now.
Oh.
Where they, they use it to basically like a sacrificial.
Yeah.
Area.
I can see that.
I mean the Daedra have done some creepy shit.
So.
Especially the oblivion.
Yeah.
That's probably the worst.
You go into the plains of oblivion on that one.
Yeah.
And those places, all the places are fucking horrific.
Like no wonder they want to leave.
It wasn't, um, oh, what, what the hell is her name?
The one that, uh, bothers you as soon as you find that fucking orb for her.
Oh yeah.
I remember that chick.
Oh my gosh.
You're so annoying.
You've been summoned or you're called or some shit.
Oh my God.
I mean, every gamer that has played any of the other scrolls, it's like, man, it's that
time again, huh?
Meridia.
Yeah.
I guess that's her name.
Oh my God.
It's funny.
Like, yeah, like that, that goes to the meta thing.
Yeah.
The must being like Godlike.
Oh man.
Not you again.
Cause it's like, you open it up and it's Meridia's beacon.
And then like, you know, eventually like, yeah, like it's going to show it like that.
You can't stop it.
It's like a recurring shit.
You reach that one level and you're like, damn it.
There it is.
I think it's like level 20.
It's like immediately.
Like Dawnbreaker is a good sword if you get it.
Cause like mostly when you're going into all the tombs and shit, it lights the shit on
fire.
I wonder how long you can go without, like if you don't open any chests or any, how long
before it'll be the first one.
Yeah.
Like it was like immediately.
Why you just like, like let's say you never get anything out of a chest.
But then like anything like a quest related, like fuck, I open this motherfucker.
I know what's going to be in there.
I can't remember if you have to actually take it though or not.
It's automatic.
That's what I thought.
You can't stop it.
It's like, it's like your mama where it's like, you just wanted to end.
It's like just immediately.
Like there it is.
Tomorrow, tomorrow I come to barter.
It's like son of a bitch again.
And then she fucking takes you up into like space.
Yeah.
Like the first thing you're like, oh, this is cool.
That's like the 50th time.
Like a bitch.
If you don't set me back down, I got shit to do.
Oh yeah.
The reason I brought her up is because her plane of oblivion is apparently like an over
like exposed version of Tamriel.
We're like the colors are super bright.
Everything I never thought of that.
Can I check it out again?
Yeah.
The next one we have is the tribunal propaganda.
This theory is a bit more fun.
The theory states that all of the lore that we learn about the world was playing the game
is actually nothing more than propaganda created by the tribunal for the tribunal.
This propaganda was meant to manipulate both the player and the end game citizens in deciding
with the proper side.
However, either way, it is a fascinating theory.
It is important to always question your sources and ask yourself whether or not you can trust
your narrator.
If you do that, you'll get, you know, take you.
You'll, you'll, you'll be a duck.
Then you'll never see it again.
If I remember that tribunal from Merwin, it was some guy, some chick and Vivek.
Vivek.
That's the only one I remember.
The only one I know.
Vivek is the only one that you actually remember.
I killed the ones.
Did you?
I saved it before.
It took a lot.
And then when I did, it told me the game told me I broke the game.
Like it literally did.
Like on the corner side, it says like you, you, you can no longer finish the main storyline
because you killed Vivek.
But well, fuck it.
I'm Vivek now.
But you actually end up killing the other two.
Yeah, you do.
And one of the guys is that, that like, like the, uh, the beast master or something in
the, in up in the Northern Island.
Yeah.
I think.
Yeah.
He's like a huntsman.
You can find like his bear form is wolf form or whatever.
The other ones in that town, that like city that you go to, it's like, it was like the
first time I've ever had DLC in a game.
And like they had, it was like the game of the year version of Merwin.
Yeah.
And it was like with a brand new map, you know, that physical map you can pull out and
it had all the same stuff, but it had a new Island in the very far Northwest corner that
you let I fucking swam to cause I'm a moron.
I didn't know there was a fucking boat.
I could slam there all the way.
And then there was another place that was not on the map at all that you had to get
teleported to.
And once you went there, the other map disappeared completely.
And it was just a map of that whole city.
So it's like the, like the capital of Merwin.
Yeah.
But that was, it was, you couldn't reach it from any point other than teleportation.
It wasn't on the map at all.
And you kill her there, you kill that guy up there and the back, you tell him about
it.
He's like, Oh damn, they were my homies, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
It doesn't, it doesn't use like him to like disappear away from the world or something
like that.
And he stays cause he has to for the main storyline.
I'm saying at the very end of the storyline, the neck.
Yeah.
Doesn't he leave to very, very end.
I don't remember actually what he did.
Pretty sure.
But ass naked dark elves.
Well, half, uh, uh, half chilling on his fucking throne.
Yeah.
Well, I was going to say he's half and half cause, uh, didn't Azura transform his race
into the dark elves.
Yeah.
And he still had like half of his face was original and then half of his face was dark
elf.
Oh, never looked at his face.
Yeah.
I remember how disappointed I was when I fought Daggett's error.
So they built him up right to be super hard.
Like, like he was like the guy of guys, right?
He was like the fucking main man.
And I go up there with fucking a Sunder, which is the hammer.
And I fucking hit him one time, right?
And fucking buckled his knees.
It's like, Oh, my fucking knees.
And then I just fucking beat the shit out of him on the ground.
He never got back up.
And I was like, well, damn, that was easier than I thought.
It was the most anti-communist.
I fucking, I was, it looked like I got broken his house and I fucking beat the shit out
of him and when we left, that's how easy it was.
Like, so I got beat some old man to death.
All right.
The next one is, uh, Colts helping the postal apocalyptic world.
So though we delve into greater detail on this theory a bit later in the article, there
is a theory that states that the world in which this game occurs is a post-apocalyptic
one.
The theory that they're going to discuss in this, um, eh, is the one that states that
the absurd amount of Colts that exists within the world are simply the survivors lasting
the attempts to rebuild society and find something to believe in when one has nothing.
It's, I mean, the, the civilization pretty seems pretty well fucking organized.
I would put that down as a stupid.
Yeah.
Like there's no way.
I mean, like if it was, it's like you rebuild into an actual, well, maybe after red mountain
exploded that one just to swim Merwin though, like a post-apocalyptic to them.
But everybody else, their whole country's gone.
Yeah.
Just wiped away.
It makes me wonder if I had had something to do with that.
You did.
Cause that was never rain buckle.
Dagger.
The next one is, uh, keep an eye on Hogan.
According to this theory, Hogan is a very bad man and though he can be trusted to a
certain extent, what should never purposefully anger or wrong him for one might end up a
shish kebab.
And that is putting it to be the most pleasant way possible.
Fans spotted several things amiss with our interactions with him from his unpleasant
obsessiveness and obsessions with the organization.
He has a member of, uh, to the nature to have his job in the first place.
Many players have deduced that he may have a flare for ending someone's life.
And a hog knee is somebody that you see in, uh, what is it?
Rivers?
The first time a little town that you get to river route.
Yeah.
Hog knee.
Yeah.
The old man.
I remember at all.
I think I burned the burn that whole city to the grounds.
Have you ever seen that?
Uh, the, um, what do you think I didn't like about the new, the Skyrim?
Right?
Yeah.
Well, you couldn't kill everybody.
No, but they have that, uh, the mod, which can, no, that's cool.
But they always had that fucking buckle effect, right?
Yeah.
Like, man, that sucks.
Yeah.
There's also a mod where you can, uh, whatever you catch on fire actually burns.
There was a whole city just fucking go up in flames.
There was a dude that went through and just burned all the white right.
Jesus.
Like Casual Wolves and all.
Just death at the end.
Uh, the next one is abandon the companions.
Yeah, I did that.
I always liked going solo anyway.
Yeah.
Uh, there was a theory that attempts to explain the reason why the companions are so few in
number.
Essentially they are, uh, they were once an impressive and incredibly large group based
upon commonalities and similar thoughts and beliefs.
However, when those beliefs narrowed down to the obsession with going full beast mode
and turning into creatures of the moon, many were not down for that way of life and had
to bail.
That caused their numbers to dwindle severely, which only made those committed to the cause
so much more into it.
So real confused.
Remember the companions are all those guys.
Yeah.
I thought that you meant like just your regular companion.
Yeah.
I'm like, I just abandoned all your, that's what I did.
Yeah.
You know, those fucking wolf people.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Like the theory is that there used to be a whole bunch more, but once those, uh, certain
few started getting obsessed with it, everybody left.
It's like, ah, fuck y'all.
Yeah.
Why didn't like being a werewolf either?
Yeah.
It was kind of really limited.
You're a fucking, although if I had to choose, I would choose to be the werewolf over the
vampire and the ball fucking.
The vampire was ass like really ass.
Like you couldn't do nothing.
Like you try going into a fight.
Cause I tried to play as a vampire for like 20 minutes after I had gotten that.
I had a, what's her name?
I turned me into a vampire again after it was part outside of the story.
Yeah.
I had one fort to go in there and complete one quest got my ass kicked.
Jesus.
Because you can't re you can't replenish your health super fast or anything.
Oh.
So like you have to, uh, to actually kill somebody to drain their blood and stuff like
you like, it's just, it's more hassle than it needed to be.
You know, the worst, being a vampire, Merrowind like, first of all, you had to find these
places that back then they didn't have markers.
No.
So I use the real map on the, in the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
the, the, the, the, main map being, you know, was basically like this and I closed it, you
could only see people with the Marker at night of meet and greet.
But this map was pretty Boy that was cool.
Literally you could.
Maybe get around more Definitely be more Just like more vin, more vin at
all in like you know, I just, it, you just it seemed like it was how fighting was going
to play.
It was definitely not.
I didn't die instantly was because it was a cloudy day,
but my health burst into flames.
There's no way to explain it.
You know, you see your health go lower and lower, right?
Like you can see the progression of you getting weaker,
about to die.
It was like red for full, and then it was gone.
Like in the blink of an eye.
It even drained down.
It was just almost dead.
I fucking turned around and went back inside
and almost fucking collapsed on the ground.
You made the mistake one.
And I never became a vampire again.
All right, next theory.
Elder Scrolls focuses on the gray areas.
In most choice based games.
The gray beards?
The gray beards, yeah.
It is incredibly easy to decipher
which choice is the morally upright one,
and which is the morally questionable one,
as it is usually pretty easy to pick one
exclusively throughout the game.
However, this game does not make it so easy
and often test the boundaries of morality entirely.
It questions the morality entirely.
Some players believe that this was done intentionally
in order to focus on the gray areas of life and morality.
And that's true.
Here's the good one.
Here's the bad one is what I've always seen them do.
Maybe like a third option, like kinda good or bad.
Yeah.
There's been some games where it's like, you do this
and it's a hard one.
Like the Witcher.
That isn't true.
Like constant.
Black or white?
No, like gray.
Or gray.
Like no matter what you choose,
you're gonna fuck someone over,
but you don't have any choice.
Yeah.
I had a guy fucking either,
I save all these kids,
and this woman dies or something,
then her husband hangs himself
in the fucking back of his car.
Like it's all like,
what the fuck am I supposed to do?
Or I let these evil witches have these kids,
and then they'll protect some,
I can't explain it,
cause I don't remember it very well,
but either every choice fucks you up the ass.
So in no matter what, it's a gray area.
Yeah.
Like it was just like,
like which is the last evil one is basically what it is.
Yeah.
I would say that Elder Scrolls,
like there's a few things that are more questionable,
but most of it,
like, okay, if you want to finish the whole game,
things are questionable automatically.
Like to finish the whole game,
you have to either become part of the Dark Brotherhood
or not.
So, or the Thieves Guild,
or like to actually finish-
Oh, like on the every fucking storyline?
Yeah, to actually finish every storyline,
yes, you would have to make some kind of-
Here's my great trick,
being a godlike being in Elder Scrolls,
was every time the Dark Brotherhood
would give you the contract,
that you were not allowed to read,
I would save it,
I would read it,
then I would reload it,
because if you gave him the letter while it was open,
like, oh, I see you read it,
so I can't trust you.
But if you gave it to the letter sealed,
so I always knew what I was doing morally.
Yeah.
I was like, yeah, it's fine.
Yeah.
All right, the next one is,
Shag, Orath, and Dragonborn are one in the same.
Now this theory has more or less been confirmed
by the games itself,
but some people still feel like it is a
real deal for debate.
This theory states that the main character
from Elder Scrolls games,
and the character of Sheogorath from the Oblivion game,
are in fact the same character.
This theory can be proved,
be improved upon when combining
with one of the aforementioned Dragonborn origin theories.
So basically they're saying that you become Sheogorath.
How can I become that guy,
if that guy, doesn't that guy fuck with me
in Elder Scrolls, or in Skyrim?
Yes.
Could we just fuck it with himself?
Yes.
He's all fucking bored.
He just harassed himself.
Jesus.
The next one is,
It's that Scottish guy, right?
Yeah.
Jesus Christ.
The one that you fucking slap in the face,
if you attack him,
he'll just set you up in the sky and drop you.
Yeah.
Jeez.
Yep.
The next one is, what is Mike?
There's a, we'll see here.
It says, okay, I know that fantasy series
have ridiculous age slash lifespans,
but some have serious questions about Mike.
This character has been around for an exceptionally long time
and it goes beyond the level of suspicions of disbelief
that most people can afford the game.
So what is their deal?
Some theories explain that the character
is an adept time traveler that is always there
to help a friend in need.
While others claim that the character has long since passed
and we are simply interacting with the spirit form
after your lifespan has reached its end.
Fuck, it's Mike.
Mike the liar.
I don't remember him.
He's the Khajiit monk looking character.
Where you just randomly find him.
He's like, what's up, bro?
You want some skooma?
Yeah.
Well, he's not, I don't think he's one of the characters.
Like, he's just like, so nice to see a friend.
That's all he ever says.
Huh.
Like he's, but he's been in every Elder Scrolls game,
I believe, like the same character, Mike the liar.
Either I've met him and don't realize it or I,
because I barely played Merlblivion,
but I played more Merwin in Skyrim.
He was in Merwin too.
I remember him in Skyrim.
I don't remember him in Merwin.
But then again, it was those crevices that you,
there were still places there.
If I had a choice, I'd probably play Merwin over Skyrim.
I wish they would redo.
Because there was just so much like secrets,
like you had to go out of your way to find.
I wish they would do a remastered version of it though.
Like if you've got to remaster anything,
you might as well remaster Morrowind again,
because the game has a lot of legitimacy still, I think.
I prefer him to keep it like it is,
just hard as fuck.
No, so blocky.
The image of-
Fucking Cliff racers, everything.
Like leave everything the same, just update the graphics.
Oh, the graphics.
The graphics sucked.
Also, when you go back to it now,
it's like the old school-
You do the fucking crab walk sideways.
The next one, Silverhand branched off from the companions.
This theory states that the anti-supernatural zealots,
who call themselves the Silverhand,
were originally members of the companions,
but branched off or defected when they became obsessed
with becoming creatures of the night themselves.
This theory makes sense as it could be the reason behind
the fervor that pushes their anti-supernatural nature.
Perhaps when they saw what they saw happen
to the companions was such an abomination
that they decided to form their own little club
in order to put a stop to it.
The ones that are going after all the werewolves
and stuff like that in the world.
Super weak.
Yeah, they were extremely weak.
And even carrying the swords was useless
because they were heavy as fuck in the game.
Super weak and useless, and I'm like,
Gabe, you guys are terrible.
Yeah.
And you killed werewolves?
You came and killed an argonian like me?
Although I will say the werebears
were really fucking difficult.
In the island?
Yeah, on Solstheim.
Man, they would just fucking run up on you?
Just out of nowhere.
Say, come get these fucking hands.
See what I did is I perched above on one,
you know how like you go to areas you're not supposed to
in Skyrim and go to the tallest edge of the mountain
and then Dory just barely get an arrow over the edge
and just started raining arrows down on their asses.
What the fuck is happening?
But that is all the fan theories that we have for today.
I know that's all of them.
Oh, I'm sure there's a whole-
There's like a 12 billion of them at this point.
Yeah.
Just bring out number six.
And then you won't have the crazy people
that have their tin foil hats on where it's like,
I know there's more to this.
Man, then you're like, well, let's wait for number seven.
Seven might not even be in our lifetime.
We're going no.
No.
We're waiting for Elder Scrolls 6
and we're waiting for GTA 6.
They'll probably drop it on the same day.
Probably.
And then fucking consoles will blow up
when you try to play them.
And Elder Scrolls 6, when it does come out, $300.
800 gigabytes.
Where you need to have like the most high-end computer system
ever to even play it.
Just like a fucking jet engine taking off.
Like, oh God, everybody hold on.
I have to get a hold of Linus Tech Tips
to be able to even have a computer that works for him.
He hit the guy.
And all the video that he does right,
it's just like him sobbing on a chair
because he can't figure it out either.
Stop.
That would be hilarious though.
I don't know, man.
It's like, if it's still six years away,
we'll be in the fucking 40s.
Jesus Christ.
It's like, dad, we want to go to the park, motherfucker.
I'm playing Elder Scrolls 6.
The old lady that plays Skyrim and stuff like that,
she'll be long gone from this earth.
Knowing how the world works, right, it's cruelty.
She'll die the day before it comes out.
Yeah.
Or she'll be the only 100 year old
over there playing the game.
The only thing keeping her alive is to finish the game.
Clock's in 100 plus hours and she fucking croaks.
But that is all that we got for today.
Anything else to add before we head out?
Well, they're making GTA 6, but if you guys need an actor
for GTA 7, I'm available.
I'll be the main character for GTA 7.
I'll do whatever you want.
Whatever you need.
I'll do whatever you want.
I'll make you feel good.
Just make me feel good.
All right, we'll talk to you guys later.
I'm dead serious, make me part of GTA 7.
