Elder Scrolls Myths and Legends

A lot of games have their in-game myths and legends, for example, UFO and Yeti in GTA, or Herobrine in Minecraft. I haven't heard any myths and legends from Elder Scrolls. Does somebody know any of them?

What should I get my boyfriend?

I've been wanting to buy my boyfriend something elden ring or elder scrolls related but I have absolutely zero knowledge of anything related to either. There are a few little things I'd know he would enjoy (most of which are bookmarks,) but I haven't added anything with that "wow" factor yet. I know monetary value doesn't matter and it's really the thought that counts, but getting a bunch of bookmarks feels... lackluster? Anyways, any suggestions are helpful please send help :( - so far I've gotten him some pins and stickers but not a lot (also yes I posted to r/eldenring too)

Bretons should go full french

Unpopular opinion but the Bretons should go full french. Do not make them weird, wacky or whatever. Stick to the feudal society, wandering knights, court mages schiming, nobles fighting for their share of power, etc. Bethesda should embrace the classical medieval French and English aspects and take inspiration from Arthurian legends. Not every culture has to be weird like the Dunmers. Plus it's very cool to have this classic Fantasy feel in Elder Scrolls which is already unique

Hot take on Stealth Archery

After reading quite a few other posts, I’ve stumbled upon a high thought. A lot of people don’t like the basic (for lack of a better word) melee attacks and lame(imo) spells that Skyrim offers. The bow however, is pretty straightforward and clean. Do most of us default to stealth archery because spells and melee attacks don’t look as fluid as a bow does?

Daggerfall Unity: Game crashes every single time I attempt to fast travel to a town called "Gothgate"

The worst part is, there are thousands of cookie-cutter towns. There is literally nothing there that I can't get anywhere else.

So it really shouldn't matter if I just don't go to it. But the fact that I just can't access it is driving me up the wall 🤪

About The Cause from the Creation Club

I know people are divided over whether or not CC content is canon but, assuming the gate in Red Scar Cavern was opened as Vonos specified, would there be any way to shut the Gate? Since the Great Welkynd Stone was used to open it, would destroying it close the Gate?

As a side note, was the Dragonborn specifically needed to open it or would any dragon have sufficed seeing as they're all considered children of Akatosh?

Kitten name suggestions

My cat is going to be having kittens soon. I was wanting to name the kittens after Khajiits from various TES entries. I already have Maiq, Ingo, and J'zargo planned. Any other name suggestions?

Do you think this prisoner scenario and potential plot could work in 6 or a future game?

This scenario is a hybrid of Oblivion and Skyrim, the game opens with you in a dungeon cell. If you look outside your window, you see you're in a city.. but it's on fire and there's rioting. Flags are are being raised or being set ablaze. Then the guards show up and say "It's time." You're handcuffed, chained, and brought out of your cell. As you walk, you notice other people in cells, starving, praising, or cursing you. Other people are out in the hallways, giving you looks of either pity or scorn. Eventually, you're brought outside where yous see that you're going to have your head chopped off. Someone who appears to be some sort of bigwig announces you as the person who brought nothing but misery and despair to whatever providence the game is set in, and that's where character creation begins. After that, you're brought to the chopping block. You also notice that a moth priest is present, and their carrying an Elder Scroll. Right before your head is chopped off, the priest comments that the scroll is acting strangely, accuses you of doing something, and it goes to black.

Then you wake up in what appears to be an Inn. There's someone else in your room who comments that you were having a nightmare, tossing and turning and making weird sounds. They tell you that you have nothing to worry about, but that today is a big day in the providence's capital city, and you didn't come all this way for nothing. The roommate leaves the room... and then that you notice that you are carrying an Elder Scroll. You open it, and you see visions of your nightmare. This was no bad dream. It was a vision of the future. Or maybe time has re-winded itself. Either way, you're heading towards a bad future, and your quest is to undo this future.

Throughout the main quest, you will meet people whom you saw in your visions. Have memory flashes of things that you did/will do. And try and find out what happened/will happen, the various things that caused them to happen, find out if these are visions of possible futures or THE future, and what is causing these visions. Are they omens or warnings of things to come, or was someone from the bad future or your future self trying to undo it all by sending warnings? Or is this some kind of Dragon Break? Like all ES main quests, you will also be exploring dungeons, learning dark secrets of the past, making friends, and enemies, and of course, there's an evil plot. But in addition to all that, you will also make difficult decisions that will alter the story in varying ways. And like Daggerfall, there are multiple endings and an implied Dragonbreak.

Some end with your death, others have you live. Some end with the coming danger being averted, or triumphing. Some end with certain NPC's alive or dead. But make all the wrong choices, and the bad future will catch up, and you'll go throught the same thing as you did at the start of the game. The only guide you have on this journey, is the Elder Scroll you are carrying, and your visions. When you meet certain people, come to certain places, or certain things happen, you'll receive visions of what happened/will happen in the unaltered future/past timeline. You can decide if things should play out in your vision or not. As for the scroll, whenever you make an important choice, the scroll changes. At the start, the scroll is all scribbled up. And as long as there are scribbles, the future will remain unaltered. Or at least some aspects of the bad future will remain unaltered. But the more scribbles vanish, the closer you are to fully undoing the bad future. But if scribbles fail to vanish or more come, it means nothing has changed. So choose wisely and you may live.

This game is the antidote to a criticism of ES for limited choices and or illusion of choice. So having a quest built on choices could solve this. In other words, it's Elder Scrolls takes the plots of Mortal Kombat 9, and Tearmoon Empire for a drive. Think this could work?

Does the Capital of Skyrim change with high kings?

So winterhold used to be the capital right? So I assume it was the capital when the jarl of winterhold was High King, when Olaf one eye became high king I assume it changed to whiterun, so when/if Ulfric becomes high king will it change to Windhelm? Because he keeps Elisif as jarl of solitude and that’s been the capital for centuries probably since after Skyrim was solidified under imperial rule and succession crisis’s stopped they wouldn’t need to change it unless the Moot chose another which they wouldn’t since it was basically ceremonial at that point.

Im wondering this cause what happens when Elisif and Ulfric (both candidates for the throne die with no heir and the moot has to choose another jarl. Will holds with tiny towns really be an option? Or in lore are all holds kinda big instead of 6 people in Morthal

Skyrim / Oblivion / Morrowind / Skywind / Skyblivion

First of all, excuse my bad English as it's my 2nd language.

So hear me out, I have never fully played an ES game before but I sorta know a thing or two about Skyrim because it was a huge thing growing up back when it was released (I'm 25 now btw), plus I tried playing it on a friend's pc once and I was going to start playing it on mine but for some reason I never did. Nowadays I've decided to start playing the anniversary edition of Skyrim but I thought should I play Morrowind and Oblivion first?

So I started researching and watching videos of them and they're absolutely amazing games and years ahead of their times with Morrowind being the most huge even more than Skyrim itself, but at the end they are still old games and in order to make them modernized-ish I of course will need mods.

My final decision was to start with Morrowind, Oblivion then Skyrim, so I started to watch videos about modding Morrowind, what to do and what not to do and I settled down to use OpenMW as it's currently the best and easiest way to mod Morrowind. As a result, I started watching a video about why OpenMW is better than MGE XE and how to install it, but as I was reading the comments I've stumbled upon someone talking about [Skywind] and how it would be superior when it's released!

So obviously I googled Skywind to find out that it's a complete remaster of Morrowind using Skyrim's engine and honestly I was blown away of the amount of work and dedication the modders have put on for 12 YEARS !! to come up with a perfect solution for people like me who want to play the whole franchise but with modern style. But what about Oblivion? I wonder if there's a similar project for it, and sure enough behold Skyblivion😂.

Now my new plan is:

  • Complete Skyrim 100% with all of its expansions including what is already released of Beyond Skyrim.

  • Play Skyblivion as it actually has a release date now (2025).

  • Wait for Skywind to be released if it's not already when I'm done with Skyrim and Skyblivion.

What do you guys think? Can anybody add anything to what I already know or perhaps correct a wrong idea that I've got?

Are there any location in Skyrim that don't appear in Arena, Bloodmoon, Travels, Skyrim, or ESO but are mentioned in lore?

I've only know of the Skyrim cut content locations, Cascabel Hall (A castle west of Solitude), Hrothgar (A settlement first mentioned in Morrowind on Mount Hrothgar, now The Throat of The World that was retconned to High Hrothgar in Skyrim), and Karthald (which is the 10th hold of Skyrim that was taken over by Reachman in the 2nd Era so it technically appears but not in name).

Found this laying around on my phone so here's if each Skyrim hold had a national flower

Yes I know the Gleamblossom is rare but people did know of Darkfall so it counts (also as much as I hate ESO Gleamblossoms are known to exist) and I'm also aware Belladonna is only in Morrowind but it's the only flower Native to Solstheim that's not a mountain flower also people know Yellow Mountain Flowers exist it's just in lore they're super rare and Falkreath is the only place known to have them (unless they appear in ESO or Blades and I just haven't seen them)
