Rennn Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've known about this for a while, but I just decided to post about it. There's a guy in Whiterun raving about Talos and the Thalmor 24/7, as I'm sure everyone knows. However, he has one quote in particular that's strange. He says this about the Thalmor: "...they can barely tolerate our presence on Earth!" He clearly says "Earth" instead of Mundus or Nirn or anything like that. I'm kind of surprised Bethesda let something that obvious into the game... thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InuyashaFE Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Obvious scripting error is obvious. It bothers me, too, I always just assume he means Earth as in 'the ground' or 'the land' or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guss Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 i am thinking the land. but could be a another reason. there is something special about him :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 All he needs to do is say something about mudcrabs and I'll know he's trying to break the fourth wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guss Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I always just run past him and ingore all. ill have to stand and listen for a bit to see what he has to say, when i get back into the game. sounds kinda interesting. :turned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiegril Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 No, you have it wrong, he is saying Tamriel, but his lilting, almost Mel Gibsonesque oratory talents distract you into hearing instead what is in your own heart. Don't hate the hater. :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevkiev Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Kay, I had to go in game just to hear the guy rant. He actually does say "Earth." It's between when he says his "... the ugly truth" and "... your very liiivvves." Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyro Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Is Earth spelt with a capital letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphibian Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Well it's not worse than that When you finish the DB questline guards will say:''The emperor of Skyrim(blergh).Dead.''My ears bleed every time I hear this.

xlcr Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111117014260/elderscrolls/images/thumb/0/03/Heimskr.jpg/250px-Heimskr.jpg(Heimskr is a Nordic priest of Talos in Whiterun). @Rennn, i agree bethesda's speechwriters kinda screwed up a bit and should've used 'Nirn/Mundus' instead of 'Earth'; but, i guess interpreting 'earth' as the ground is ok but kinda lame. o_O Pulled Heimskr's preaching transcript from http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Heimskr pasted below lol.'earth' is referenced twice in the script and not capitalized (not sure about the game's actual subtitles). Talos the Mighty! Talos the unerring! Talos the unassailable! To you we give Praise! We are but maggots writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars! But you were once man! Aye! And as man you said, "Let me show you the power of Talos, Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now in royalty and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you." Aye, love! Love! Even as man, great Talos cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future of Tamriel! And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are the children of man! Talos is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit! The very idea is inconceivable to our Elven overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth! Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives? And what does the Empire do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people! So rise up! Rise up, children of the Empire! Rise up, Stormcloaks! Embrace the word of mighty Talos, he who is both man and Divine! For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit the heavens and earth! And we, not the Elves or their toadies, will rule Skyrim! Forever! (alternate concluding statement):Trust in me Whiterun! Trust in Heimskr! For I am the chosen of Talos! I alone have been anointed by the Ninth to spread his holy word!
