Interesting neo-velothi architecture. At the beginnig whith the boat entering the docks there are Redoran banners hanging on the walls.

I love the line, "You didn't think you were the only one?" It feels like, you didn't think you were special did you? He was the first and supposedly we are the last, this could be fun.

There's a shot of someone walking through very Vvardenfell terrain. Unless Emperor Parasols can nirnaform a minor portion of Solstheim, then maybe we'll go a-island hopping briefly.

Looks like someone was toppled off her position as first Dragonborn. Choke on that, Alessia.

» Tue Nov 06, 2012 6:12 am

I'm officially incredibly excited.

I wanted so bad to fight another Dovahkiin, and it looks like we are going to get to go to Apocrypha!

So much for Alessia then. This is gonna be very interesting...

» Mon Nov 05, 2012 10:59 pm

Those humanoid figures are rather...odd. The eventual fate of Aporcrypha's occupants?

Well how're they gonna deal with this Alessia business? :/

Hasn't it always been said that she was "thought" to be the first Dragonborn?

» Mon Nov 05, 2012 10:13 pm

To be fair, Alessia was the first recorded therefore the reason we may be going to Herma-Mora's realm is to find forbidden knowledge on who really, truthfully was the first Dragonborn.

Well it's not exactly out of left field. They already established that Akatosh wasn't new with her, as previously thought.

So, is Apocraphya and/or Herma Mora really gonna be in this?

Tentacle from a book dragging you into a magical land full of books? Seems so.

Based on the area with spiraling bookcases up the wazoo, that's pretty much a definitive yes.

Edit: nvm

Looks that way. Whirling pages and betentacled monstrosities.

EDIt: Where did all these ninjas come from?

Has it ever been said Alessia was the first Dragonborn? Even in Book of the Dragonborn, it only says the term was first used in relation to her, but nothing about the concept.

Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, there were Skaal there. *is happy*

I'm hoping that they use this as an opportunity to clarify the distinction between "dragonborn", meaning born with the literal soul of a dragon, and "dragon-blooded", meaning an emperor who has entered and renewed the covenant with Akatosh (of which Alessia was the first).

Paaravant nisaraan.

Looks like they retooled the Goblins from the Skyrim Game Jam to be Rieklings, who are wielding spears. Wonder if we will be able to. Also noticed Stahlrim armor and what looks like Bonemold. Saw some Netch, too. Being pushed up Telvanni towers, weird monsters, new armor, new Nord stuff, dragon riding. We we we so excite.

Rewatched and saw the part at 1:01. Gonna rewatch again to catch the tentacle dragging him in a book and I'm happy to see this Daedra gget attention.

I wonder if this "First Dragonborn" was Konahrik then. His name does mean Warlord, and it would explain why his mask (and presumably a portion of his power) was sealed away by the other priests.

What I'm interested in is those pig-riding midgets.

I believe this Dragonborn is named Miraak.
