Based on all of the explosions was that part of the game the last of the base game. Just feels so different frpm rest of game

The explosions from the Dragon Storm Call Shout that Alduin uses? He uses it when you fight him at the Throat of the World, too, if he can.

Typically, yes, the introduction sequence is usually done last, which is why in all three of the most recent Elder Scrolls games it's been more impressive than the other parts of the game.

Seyda Neen was many things.

Impressive...not one of them.

The charactergen scene, though, featured contiguous voice acting and use of AI movement, which was underutilized elsewhere.

Getting off the boat, seeing around the building and having the first sight be the silt strider standing at the platform, slowly swaying, was a "wow" moment for me. Of course, ymmv. But it was, for me, the instant that hooked me into the game. What is that thing and what does it do? Why is it standing there? Gosh its tall.

Amd with me as well.

Yeah, same here. And that pixelated water also looked sweet back then. And Jiub was so cool, and hot in a really weird way, with those ear rings and that scar. My first character looked exactly like Jiub. I'm digressing, my point is that I found Seyda Neen impressive as hell, and it got worse the more of the game I discovered.

EDIT: didn't even realize it right away, but I started to feel really cheerfu after writing this post, like an old grandpa talking about his first childhood love.
