Double Negative

Hello everybody!

Welcome to my channel. Here I play the older games that escaped my attention back when they were revolutionary.Today, they're known as classics, and I'm here to share my genuine first-time experiences with you, whether it's joy and excitement, or anger and frustration.

I also delve into the lore of The Elder Scrolls series and present my findings, sharing the best stories in the series that you have never heard before. These videos take a while to make, so please be patient!

I hope you enjoy what I have to offer so far. Stick around, because more is on the way.

    For the bit re: Convention taking place on Nirn, but the theory that Lorkhan’s body became Nirn: A possible solution to this contradiction is that, according to theory, Convention occurred during the Dawn era, which is also described as a period where ‘time followed an incomprehensible nonlinear path’. With this, and the power that Lorkhan kept, and possibly his trickery involved with the creation of the Mundus; could it be that another part of Lorkhan’s great trick or lie was that killing him, or through some final act of his own power while he was being killed, some change occurred which made Nirn thus exist from his sundered form? Could the act of killing him have triggered his heart’s integral role in the existence of Nirn? Maybe not explaining this the best, but yeah, there are a lot of unknowns and honestly, I think this could fit his trickster personality very well. Especially if there is then a long-term goal to undo the work of Anu’s creation.

    Pelinal, possibly a Shezzarine, saying his maniacal homicidal rages feel like “when the dream no longer needs its dreamer” goes hard AF. Think about having a dream and the beings in it being so wronged, that the dream itself becomes animate and goes on a rage bender. This gets even crazier when you consider the concept of the Godhead, and all of the Aurbis being a dream. Either the creation/dream itself, or Shor/Lorkhan, being the heart of Mundus itself, was PISSED at the Ayleids. Just. Damn.

    I still can’t figure out if Gothryd is a good guy or a bad guy. If you present the letter exposing lord woodborne to him or aubki they try to kill you (?) it’s confusing because the writing about this game and the diegetic story telling are different sometimes

    Ted Peterson seems like a really talented and smart individual but his comment at 1:20:00 is really dumb. Black people irl tend to have more muscle mass and are least likely to get sunburned. You can see that as 'Plus 10 strength' and '20% resistance to fire'. It's okay to make the humanoid race have racial differences. Also, if the different elf races have unique bonuses then why shouldn't the different races of humans have different bonuses? In the lore, the Dwemer were geniuses and that's part of what makes them so fascinating.

    I get this is an old video and I don't know how many people will see this but When Pelinal screamed "Reman!", it's just as, if not more likely that he meant it literally. "Reman" means "Light of Man." Just a thought 🤷‍♂

    My best guess is that the totem is kinda like an AI that remotely pilots the giant dwarven mech of mass destruction. That's why it can use telepathy, seemingly has a mind of its own and a new one can't be made so easily.

    The more I learn about TES lore, the more parallels I see between Cyrodiil and Rome. The Akaviri invasion is reminiscent of Caesar's invasion of Britain.

    I would give my left kidney to have a game that takes place in Akavir. It would clear up all the blurry lore and it would probably be downright awesome. Unfortunately, there are so many awesome ideas for the world of Nirn, and I don't think TES 13 Akavir will come out during my lifetime, if ever.
