Small correction: the towers that hold the realm are not just the 3 you mentioned. There are also natural towers like the Red Mountain, also every tower has a linked object necessary for it to operate. Like the White-Gold Tower's was the Amulet of Kings now reshaped to that large statue that was left of the Avatar of Akatosh.

To be fair, the only source we have for that claim is the An-Xileel, an Argonian ethnonationalist group who claim to be the ones who lead the charge against Dagon's forces. It's possible that they may have somewhat exaggerated their success for the sake of propaganda. The Daedra may just have regarded Black Marsh as a low-value target that they didn't want to pour too many resources into and pulled out when it was too much of a hassle.

However I'm inclined to believe the Argonians...Because of three reasons. 1. They're created, bred and guided by Sentient Tree Gods beings that have real tangible power. 2. They live in the most uninhabitable and toxic land within the series showcasing their natrual endurance in the face of danger and hardship. 3.

Mehrunes Dagon: Invades Tamriel Argonians: It's Free Real Estate.

As a teenager, I remember the epic and sad moment of Martin's last sacrifice to stop Dagon. One of the most epic moments I've seen in a videogame, with gods literally clashing in a mortal realm. Despite it's flaws, Oblivion remains as one of my favourite pieces.

Great job, as always! But I feel like this documentary glosses over probably the most important event of the war. The bounty that was put on the Hero of Kvatch's head after they accidentally hit someone in the midst of one of the battles. Even despite all the apocalyptic chaos that was raging all around, it is comforting to know that the Imperial justice system continued to function like a well-oiled inescapable machine.

It was also reassuring to know that even a direct agent of Emperor Martin, the Hero of Kvatch themself, was not above the law during a literal crisis and would be punished to the greatest extent allowed, that being death, for accidentally picking up that clay cup while shopping for equipment. Messengers were sent out to every city across all of Tamriel so that such criminal scum would not escape justice.

Man what happened to Uriel feels like what happened to Aurellian. Couldn't be trusted around advisors who decided to off him instead and doomed themselves.

In their ravenous hatred they found no peace; and with boiling blood they scoured the the realm of Oblivion seeking vengeance against the dark Deadra who had wronged Tamriel and the Black Marsh. They drank the sap from the Hist, and those that tasted the bite of their teeth called them... the Argonians.

Fallout 3 was quite disappointing to me...Then again I had been an avid Fallout fan since the original. When I first saw it, I really just thought "oh, it's Oblivion with guns." It wasn't a bad game, but Bethesda Fallout is not the same as Interplay Fallout. We went from a grim post-apocalyptic RPG with serious moral quandaries (and a nasty difficulty curve) to a quirky first-person game on an engine clearly not designed for FPS mechanics with an "easy mode" that allows you to stop combat at will to compensate for its flaws...all the while blaring music from the 1940s and 50s on the radio. I remember feeling that the game's ambiance was completely off. And while I loved New Vegas because Chris Avellone got his hands on his old franchise again and managed to sneak in a lot of the story for the cancelled Fallout 3 in it (and better shooting mechanics thanks to actually having sights), it still doesn't truly feel like Fallout should be.

I love how the Argonians decided to pull out a uno reverse card and counter-invade the Deadric realm.

He had the charm of a rock and spent his evenings drinking, and he could outlast even Newheim the portly without showing sights of drunkeness. He never waited around or never fast-traveld (urgh). It wasnt untill 3E 434, while sitting in a tavern in Cheydinhall (or where it now was), Lost on what to do with his life and new wealth. while playing for his drink that he felt the Amulet of Kings. It was during this time he contracted vampirism, and though he manage to cure it, caused delays in saving the empire. He reluctantly joined the blades, feeling he had done no heroism, though told otherwise. Last sighting of him after the crises was by a bravil guard outside the mysterious gate island. He was rumored to be the speaker of the dark brotherhood aswell as beeing the leader of the thives guild.

Sometimes I wish Skyrim had a book about the other provinces during the crisis and we saw Ruined Oblivion Gates out in the wild it only makes sense there would be remains of the event in remote areas in Skyrim. Only area not affected by the crisis was Solesthiem apparently.

Have you considered.. I guess I'd call it 'lightning rounds' of lore videos? An anthology of some of the shorter stories Elder Scrolls have to offer? Things like the adventures of Cyrus, such tales.

Oblivion Crisis in the extended lore: Massive Dremora armies spawn from the gates collapsing giant ancient towers and not even a giant, city-sized crab can stop them. Oblivion Crisis in game: Gates spawn a bunch of scamps, who are barely stronger than the wildlife that attacks you on the roads anyway.

Also can't wait for a video on the Dark Brotherhood
