It's an entertaining and informative video.

I was about to say how sad this is, but 571 pages is actually very low page count. I was very surprised.
Will watch!
My personal favorite books are Fall of The Snow Prince and The Underking*. ^^' Objectively, though, yes we all know -- The Lusty Argonian Maid is as good as it gets...
EDIT: *The Arcturian Heresy I meant, haa... Haha. >_<

Not here for this lusty argonian maid slander. Slow burn is the best tag on any website, and watching seven acts of argonian sexual tension sounds amazing.
1. The Lusty Argonian Maid
2. The Lusty Argonian Maid
3. The Lusty Argonian Maid.
4. The Lusty Argonian Maid.
5. The Lusty Argonian Maid.
Not sure if it's on Skyrim, but my favorite is the one where the writer's mentor travels across the different realm of Oblivion.
Edit : The book is called The Doors of Oblivion and chronicle a person journey through various realm of Daedric Prince.

The Lusty Argonian Maid is a literary classic that deserves placement among the great works.

Lol. Actualy, The Lusty Argonian Maid is not included in his recommendations. But he did mention it.
so a lot of filler and a few good ones. feels like a metaphore to the majority of openworld games.
571 pages is light reading tho. And most of the books are redundant or single pages so it's more about finding all of them than the actual reading that makes it challenging.
Just finished watching the videos, I laughed at that Lusty Argonian Maid part.
Time to open uesp and read all five books lol.
571 pages at 5.5 font size. That's ridiculously small font. We're looking at 830 Word documents at default font size and I personally hate the default.
I think the presenter is making a mistake with his analysis of the historical texts. He touches on that mistake when he mentions towards the end the accounts can be significantly different depending on who wrote it so it becomes compelling non-fiction to unravel the bullshit. That is what pushes reading about history from boring to fun and engaging.
I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this video, even though I don't care a bit about Skyrim. Good stuff.
Well I have so many hours in Oblivion & Skyrim mostly because I read every new book I found in the game... probably not found every book, but I remember that often I found books in Skyrim that I had already read in Oblivion and so skipped them...
Some books are quite interesting.

Collecting them is the actual fun part :)
But they are also a great read.
Tbh I'm grateful they exist or but got damn does it cut in to my adventuring time
Yeah I find most book entries in RPGs are uninspired and boring unfortunately. However I'll give Skyrim some credit (I'm a PS3 player so I have a seething hatred for that broken game and Bethesda), the one book that sticks out to me from that game is The Real Barenziah. It's a 5 volume epic about the life of a dark elf. But I think listening to Skyrim's soundtrack while reading those entries made them more epic than they probably were.
He probably doesn't know how many pages ESO have. Taking screen grabs of them will fill your entire HDD.

Yes, I'm officially his new fan. Seems like he's just recently joined Polygon.
Interesting, but not a massive fan of the video, I don't find the attempts at being funny... very funny. But that's just me...
But yeah, enjoyed the content, I shan't be rushing to read the books agian on my next playthrough though!

He joined at the end of 2017 I believe but he has been putting out more (or at least better) content on the Polygon youtube channel recently.
The video he made for his application continues to be absolutely outstanding.
Yeah i did that too, i even had a complete list of all the books as i checked off when i read them.
Gotta get the lore, ALL the lore.

I honestly loved reading about Manimarco (King of Worms) and Potema (The Wolf Queen) in the Conjuration books.
Also about how Battlemages have to really watch out for magical reserves during confrontations when we can essentially become gods after playing for sometime on Skyrim.
But nonetheless, Elder Scrolls have awesome lore.

"someone read a/some books so you don't have to"
That's not how books work, I hate this saying.
Having said that, it was a good video.

I believe so actually.
