  Hey all, thank you so much for the support! Slight mistake here at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chi6CDll18A&amp;t=2266">37:46</a>, I accidentally titled the Falmer White Souls Experiments as the Thalmer White Souls Experiments! Hopefully this isn&apos;t too annoying of a mistake! Up to you guys on how you think I pronounced it but while my script definitely says Falmer, it&apos;s too close for me to tell!

  If I had a penny for every Australian Elder Scrolls lore analyst channel, I would have three pennies; which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened three times.

  The idea that all Bethesda bugs are just Sheogorath messing with the player is kinda the best thing ever.

  There is actually a more factual explanation to the 7,000 steps theory. The previous calculations are in fact correct, but they have forgotten to calculate the steps you take when you try to run away from the fckng ice troll on that godforsaken mountain.

  I argue for technological regression, and even push for a magical decline as well. &nbsp;There are 118 unique spell effects in Morrowind, while there are only 44 unique spell effects in Skyrim. (I&apos;m only counting spell tomes available in Skyrim + DLCs, CC is a money grab, and you can&apos;t cast potion/enchantment effects). &nbsp;This would mean that the fall of the Mage&apos;s Guild has a <b>profound</b> impact on magical studies, and over 2/3 of our magical knowledge has been lost since the 3rd Era.<br><br>On a side note, Bethesda needs to stop cutting stuff out of the game.

  This game is pure magic... It takes me to one of the best times in my life. Senior year of college, me and my two best friends lucked out on this amazing downtown loft apartment. Was two stories with a rooftop terrace. My buddy knew the owner of the building, and they just wanted the thing rented; we payed $1k between the 3 of us. The second floor had vaulted 20 foot ceilings, because it was in a spire of this really old building. We would turn the volume way up on the games that we would play, and we would get a cathedral effect. The best of which was Skyrim. We blasted the volume and just enjoyed the magical soundtrack and the ambience. I had a falling out with those two friends; one got into hard drugs and the other got a wife that didn&apos;t like my swashbuckling ways lol. But you can never take memories away, especially when they are attached to such beautiful sights and sounds like Skyrim. Sometimes, when playing in a dark room, I go back in time to that amazing spire.

  For me, any of the theories you could come up with by reading the in-game books already belong in the darkest, untouchable depths

  Every time I hear a bit of skyrim&apos;s music, I instantly get this massive urge to play the game again

  Fun fact, M&apos;aiq the Liar says &quot;M&apos;aiq once walked to High Hrothgar. So many steps, he lost count!&quot; which is pretty much the devs confirming that, no, there are not 7,000 steps.

  The Skyrim Getting Colder theory actually makes sense, since Atmora, which is north of Skyrim, has gotten colder over the last 3000 years, to the point where at the start of the 3rd era it only had a few people left living there, and by the start of the 4th era it was fully uninhabitable.<br><br>Additionally, the rivers and lakes in the game are not consistent with glacial melting, and the only place you find glaciers are around the northern coast. Meaning that Skyrim didn&apos;t have inland glaciers in the past. Combined these two facts indicate that the glaciers in the game aren&apos;t the last remnants of a thaw, but rather the beginning of a freeze.

  Another thing that points to the Hero of Kvatch being Sheogorath in Skyrim is that in the Shivering Isles DLC Sheogorath comments about the player character&apos;s eyes at one point and says that he may take those away in the future. Sure enough, Sheogorath in Skyrim has &apos;blind&apos; eyes, rather than the cat eyes he had in Oblivion.
