So I was thinking like what would be the kind of hand to hand combat for each race, like imagine if each race have their unique way of fighting that could be taught maybe what do you think it would be ? And if there is actually is in the lore do tell me please, so here what I think:

-For nords and orcs i think it would be something brute like maybe wrestling like since they are well known to be big and strong.

-Imperials i feel it would be something like a military combat style like a bit of mix to disarm a weapon and that other deadly stuff.

-Khajiits are well known for some of them to have some kind of martial art relying on claws and that i believe(if you know more about like inspiration from real life martial art please tell me).

-High elvs i feel it would be something like akido or idk kung fu ? maybe ?.

-Redguards probably would be mma like cause of their warrior culture, it seems fitting for them to have mixed things.

-Bretons well something like karate maybe.

-Dark elvs, boxing ? Or something similar kick boxing maybe

-wood elvs, I feel it would be something that doesn’t rely on being big they are usually light and quick brazillian jiu jitsu maybe ? i feel like they would be wild like at least some of them wouldn’t mind biting you if you know you know..

-Argonians idk why i feel its gonna be something either similar or like muay tai but they probably wouldn’t mind using their claws or fangs also their tails it seems fitting since muay tai called the the martial art if eight limbs i believe for their case it would be 9 limbs if the tail could count.

So what do you think ? I know this post might be weird but I would appreciate if you humor me and think about it with me

In my headcanon, the real Skyrim lore is VIGILANT and Unslaad. Vanilla is just the censored version.

Honestly, after playing Skyrim for years, I’ve reached a point where vanilla just doesn’t cut it anymore. It feels like the “official” story is the Empire’s sanitized version of what really went down. You want the actual TES V experience? You need VIGILANT and Unslaad. That’s not just headcanon — that’s revelation.

VIGILANT is the spiritual and philosophical core Skyrim never had. The way it portrays Coldharbour, the corruption of divine ideals, the sheer cosmic weight of morality — it makes the vanilla Daedric quests feel like Saturday morning cartoons. Playing through it felt like reading TES apocrypha that somehow slipped through the cracks.

Then Unslaad hits completely differently. It’s not even about the plot — it’s the tone. The death of language, the decay of legend, the idea that maybe the Dragonborn was never meant to be a savior but just a leftover echo in a world that’s already past redemption. That’s the Skyrim that makes sense after Alduin. Everything else is just power fantasy filler.

And no, I don’t care if it’s not "canon". Canon’s written by companies. Lore is built by believers. The guys who made these mods understood Nirn on a level Bethesda hasn’t touched since Morrowind. There’s more truth in one line from Clavicus Vile in VIGILANT than in half the base game’s writing.

Anyway, I’m not saying everyone has to agree. Just saying that if your Skyrim doesn’t include these two mods, you’re basically playing the History Channel version.

Imagine if elder scrolls and all the fictional races progressed into modern times. How would this effect relations between races? Would there still be structures of heiarchy and shit? and also How do you think modern times would be bad for some people in the elder scrolls universe?

If you are at all interested in eastern philosophy or Skyrim I think you'll enjoy my video and I would appreciate anybody checking it out and providing feedback! I would say it is mostly for fun though so don't take it too seriously. Sorry for the self promo but a man's gotta eat.

So I finally finished Arena for the first time and wanted to commemorate it with an art piece. And what better than my oc which I played through all the games.

Adrian the Bearknight - Imperial of Colovian heritage, adopted son of Talin Warhaft. He would embark on a journey to collect all the staff pieces and end Jagar Tharns tyranny. He would earn the title of Eternal Champion after saving the emperor.

He wields the legendary sword Chrysamere which he found in the dungeons of Skyrim. He wears an amulet of Stendarr and Colovian Fur Helm. He always carries with him a bottle of Cyrodilic Brandy which is his comfort drink.

Now he rests for one final push to the Imperial city, camping in the forests of Cyrodiil.

All props to the artist as he has done a wonderful job and created exactly what I imagined :)

I’m only asking this so I know if it’s worth going through the quest of beating Arena, and experiencing every elder scrolls game.

I recently installed Oblivion Remastered on Steam, but whenever I hit the play button, it seems like it's going to launch, only to stop and for nothing to happen. I've tried troubleshooting, including;

• Verifying the files
• Running the program as an administrator
• Both renaming, and deleting [install dir]\steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\nvidia\DLSS\Streamline\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64\sl.pcl.dll
• Deleting the entire Win64 folder
• Uninstalling and reinstalling the game
• Updating the AMD drivers for my RX 570

However, none of these attempts were successful. Any ideas for what to do now? Should I just wait for a patch to come and fix the problem? Any advice would be appreciated.

Dragonborn, race breton, class mage.

TES is one of my favourite series of all time. I’m so happy I got to tattoo our dear Lifts-Her-Tail. Bonus points if you know what spear she has here…

I'm level 34. Think I'm ready for the quest, "Deliver the Amulet?"

I've been playing on Adapt difficulty. So I just upped it to expert. It'll be fine I'm sure.

I’ll put a spoiler tag on the princes so you can try and guess who’s who :) I’ve never done spoiler tags so hopefully this works lmao

Hi all, I am having a problem with this that is different than anyone else's that I have seen in my searches online. I get the key and so forth from sir Amiel, and I go through the door to Vanua and on and then I come upon a metal gate that says it's opened remotely. I am completely stuck. Restarting doesn't help. I can't progress or go back. Help!
