Dragonbreaks: • The MOST Confusing Concept in the Eld...

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.

The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

Living in a podunk midwestern town called Ashland, whose natives are called Ashlanders, this is immensely funny to me.

I really enjoy the worldbuilding put in Morrowind. The contrast between the Ashlanders and the Great Houses is great.

In a very weird way this reminds me of the Jacobite rebellion in Scotland. The majority of lowland scots called the highland clans heathens, the wearing of kilts and so forth was seen as something obscene that threatened Protestant Scotland and its unity with England, just like how the Ashlanders were seen as heathen apostates. Highlanders were persecuted and their traditions were under siege. However, ever since the nineteenth century up to this very day, highland culture is venerated in Scotland and it is seen as the true Scottish way of life, the Jacobite wars are even seen in quite a romantic light. Ashlanders are later viewed as true dunmer, noble savages, this is similar to the situation with the highland clans in real life.

I remember playing this game in middle school and being blown away that there was an entirely new faction of nomads off in the further reaches of the map

I got the feeling that the Ashlanders occasionally return to the fortresses for especially bad ash storms.

I think Bethesda's entire writing staff now consists of a single ziplock bag filled with stale cheerios. Feels like it at least. I miss Michael Kirkbride-level weirdness.

The Ashlanders are one of my favorite parts of Elder Scrolls lore. Really wish we could get more stuff about them.

But what about the droid attack on the Wookiees?

I love how Kirkbride wrote Elder Scrolls like he was writing various interpretations of mythology into one story. Weird with big gaps that you fill in with your milk finger imagination.

I find that Morrowinds story in Skyrim was the most interesting aswel. How House Redoran rose to the challenge and pushed back the invaders, and how house Hlaalu was outlawed. Its full of drama and intrigue x) Is Morrowind still part of the Empire? I mean.. they are pretty much reconquring their territory by them selves..

8:25 well it would seem I was pronouncing the names of these tribes completely wrong, when I played morrowind.
