Summerset ^^ Kidding xD Bardok is from Western Skyrim, probably Solitude specifically due to his Dibellan bardic nature and their college. But also because of the name, he shares it with Bardok the Impaler who is an Islander from Roscrea, meaning not that he's from roscrea but that it culturally influenced his people enough to have that name so solitude is a safe bet. Would also explain his being a learned individual, and his affinity for wolves. "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the character you play as dies at the start of the MQ and the Vestige is more like a Daedric clone who got plucked out of Coldharbour by the Prophet and brought to Nirn. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 You know how I feel about that daedric clone stuff tho That said... I’m ok with it because of Lorkhan, the Space Mutant.

ColonelKillaBee Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Like, if I wanted to start hurting heads again. Lorkhan, Trinimac, Auri-El Vestige, Mannimarco, Molag Bal The Vestige and Lorkhan both became husks of their original selves, being reborn again and again while their souls or his heart was ripped away in service of another. i.e auri-el and molag bal, the kings and also technically the witness, and who are both overtaken in their positions as king because of this overlap by the rebel who was slain. Mannimarco/Trinimac also have some overlaps with the rebel. 2 "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s also the whole Anuic daedric element, with Lorkhan seemingly being kind of in-between Aedric and Daedric himself, with an Anuic principle in his Heart. The Vestige is like that too, being a physically daedric entity with an Anuic principle left over from (and later made whole by) his soul. Add in the newer lore, and it’s an even stronger parallel, as not only was Lorkhan’s Heart forcibly ripped out, but it was also replaced (by a daedra) with the 'Dark Heart', much like how the void left by our character’s soul was filled with a daedric vestige. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figure that since its his first name, it could've simply been influenced by the roscreans, not necessarily making him roscrean. Solitude people would have at least been aware of islander names, sailors would adopt some of them for their own, especially since they're all Nordic. 1 "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can ignore the class stuff to a degree, but they wrote a ton of detailed lore around how vestiges and soul shriven work, going beyond just handwavy mmo stuff, so I treat it as real. It’s basically the only way the ESO hero works as he’s presented. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting 100% in Fallout 4 is a bitch compared to FO3 and FNV. Most of it is easy, but then there are two or three that the game’s own mechanics just make terrible to pursue. The settlement happiness one was the second worst for me. The worst was the 'redeem 100,000 Nuka World tickets' one, which is just downright unreasonable. Pro-tip, you can use the settlement workshop stuff to basically create a factory that duplicates the tickets. It still sucks to build and operate, but earning that many tickets naturally takes hours. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering emperorship comes and goes to any warlord at any period I’d say he’d find it interesting but not think much of it. I guess it’d be impressive enough, but it’s hard to consider since the Ebonheart Pact and what modern nords think of it has never been brought up. If everything else Bardok did was canon tho, that’d be a different story. Now that shit is crazy.
