00:01Adventures, fantasy and dragons, today I'm talking about Skyrim.
00:07To coincide with the release of Bethesda's video game Starfield on September 1st,
00:12I wanted to revisit this month one of the most iconic landmarks of the studios.
00:16Elder Scrolls, Skyrim.
00:19The fifth installment in a saga that began in 1994,
00:22Skyrim immerses you in a unique medieval fantasy universe reminiscent of The Lord of the Rings.
00:28You are entering a world that functions without you, with its own politics, a vast continent.
00:32where territorial wars and racial wars will emerge.
00:36Indeed, one must imagine that in the universe of Skyrim, the world has existed for at least 2000 years,
00:412000 years in which different leaders have succeeded one another.
00:45What also makes the Skyrim universe so complete is its approach to religion.
00:49In this world, gods exist and use their power for amusement.
00:53making religious wars and sects much more concrete.
00:56A living universe that gives the impression of continuing even when you turn off the game console.
01:01If you feel like it, you can even, for example, follow a non-player character in their daily routine.
01:06Get up, go to the village market, meet Ragnar the blacksmith and discuss current events.
01:12A game that lives.
01:1412 years later, virtually no game has been able to meet this challenge.
01:17The challenge of a unique adventure, with multiple choices, where your decisions will impact the future of this video game.
01:23Indeed, it's up to you to choose whether you will embody a powerful hero and save the orphan,
01:27or rather, sell your services to the highest bidder, good or bad.
01:31The world of Skyrim takes place in Skyrim, a region in the north of the continent of Tamriel.
01:37Skyrim is divided into nine administrative sections, called holds, each governed by a yarl.
01:43A landscape dotted with forts, camps and ruins, some of which were built by the now extinct race
01:51of the Dwemer.
01:52Each castle has its own distinct geographical and architectural characteristics.
01:56such as plains in the Whiterun hold or marshes in Yamlarche.
02:00Torn apart by a civil war between the military forces of the capital and independent rebels in the region,
02:05All that was missing was a dragon invasion to make Skyrim the perfect playground for a
02:11budding adventurer like yourself.
02:13Your adventure begins as a prisoner. Captured while trying to cross the border,
02:18The local army takes you on a horse-drawn carriage ride to confront the organic movement.
02:22Luckily for you and the other prisoners, a dragon attacks the fort.
02:27So what are you going to do? Escape? Help the soldiers there?
02:31Now your adventure begins!
02:32And it is at this precise moment that you will forge your own destiny.
02:36And then, you don't know the region, what do you do in this vast world?
02:40Are you heading towards the town you can see on the mountainside?
02:43Enter this cave to spend the night?
02:45Join the academy of mages you heard about in an inn?
02:48Will you join the rebellion? Or simply start your life over?
02:51The continent is yours and everything is within your reach.
02:54Bandits, magicians, heroes of the people, thieves, assassins or proud warriors, but above all yourself.
03:00Because the richness of Skyrim and its predecessors is undoubtedly this open, free, and undefined universe.
03:06guide.
03:06A universe that gives you the impression of practically living a second life through your screen.
03:11So maybe we'll cross paths in Tamriel as a guild leader, apprentice mage, or even
03:16mountain brigand.
03:17One thing is for sure, you will not regret the journey that brought you here.
