TESV: Skyrim Bard Song - "The Age of Oppression"

[Blarghurface]

I can see both sides of the conflict, honestly. But I just couldn't help but sympathize for those who wanted independence and live as they wanted. Sorry Imperials, with all due respect, I'm a Stormcloak for life :)

[FALCON1865]

imperials are better



[HFLanciaStratos]

@FALCON1865 damn you to Oblivion

[Arkbird443]

dark brotherhood woo hoo!

[Saberwind45871]

the way i see it they want nothing but nords in skyrim...nazis?

[demiser21]

@Saberwind45871 not really they may prefer skyrim for the nords but they aren't trying to kill anyone, where as the elves have committed genocide against the humans multiple times. Nords- a little prejudice, Elves- full blown nazis.

[HFLanciaStratos]

@demiser21 We Stormcloaks do not hate elves, we merely hate tyrants.

[MrTrololz]

I hate the Empire. They got rid of the faceless stormtrooper gaurds.

[izzboxer1996]

That grey-skin doesn't mean any of that. That bitch insults us by even trying to gain our trust.

JK!

[Lizardvenom1]

on the day of his death i had to do math homework

[FoetalOuroboros]

@Lizardvenom1 that's a different song you milk drinker.

[Gag1800]

I must say the Imperial/Stormcloak conflict is dividing Skyrims fanbase just like it divides the people of Skyrim itself...

If they could would anyone side with the dragons?

[Terrorist12341]

Ufric is a Nazi

[doodoodudex]

@Terrorist12341 True dat!

[resincoatedlungs]

@Terrorist12341

That's a bit extreme, and ridiculous.

[Terrorist12341]

@resincoatedlungs noh, all argonians live outside cities by Ufrics orders. He is a Nazi :3

[demiser21]

@Terrorist12341 You forget it's the Elves who have committed multiple genocides against humans it's quite reasonable that that the nords would be distrusting.

[resincoatedlungs]

FOR FERELDEN!

[SensoriumWolf]

@resincoatedlungs FOR OUR KING MARIC!

[gonavygonavy]

Why is a Dark Elf singing this... It's like a Jewish person yelling "Heil Hitler"

[demiser21]

@gonavygonavy actually the elves are much closer to nazis that's the whole reason why humans don't like them

[SmartGuy4today]

Dark Elves are going to serve Ulfric and wipe out all non-Dunmer from Skyrim. Well... they kind of need the land since Morrowind's Red Mountain blew. And the Nords had taken the Reach, which was Breton territory. Psk... the Forsworn are Bretons.

[Denes300]

Why the fuck would an Dunmer sing that? The Stormcloaks fight for a Skyrim cleaned of Elven kind and Non-nords.

[Gutvald]

@Denes300 Sing " Down with Ulfric" would be a little dangerous in Windhelm.

[project1mission]

death to the stormcloaks

[miracl3DuMMy]

I don't care if it's the Empire's or Stormcloath's song, i still enjoy'em!

[NzGamerSince1996]

I dont like the stormcloaks, i chose the stormcloak side in helgen so i could get some imperial gear.

[MansionBuyer]

Too bad the drunk smut at 00:24 gets killed :(

[pshzaterka]

Because fuck the empire, that's why.

[MCOmegaX123]

@pshzaterka Yes, yes... Imperials tried to kill this one for simply entering Skyrim. This one does not take kindly to attempts on his life.

[MegaOmgrunescape]

WE DRINK TO OUR YOUTH, OF THE DAYS COME AND GONE, FOR THE AGE OF AGGRESSION, IS JUST ABOUT DONE. WE'LL DRIVE OUR THE STORMCLOAKS, AND RESTORE WHAT WE OWN, WITH OUR BLOOD AND OUR STEEL, WE WILL TAKE BACK OUR HOME!!!!!!!! ALL HAIL THE EMPIRE

[XxXStellionXxX]

Elder scrolls 6 will be against the Aldmeri. as it should be lol.

[joeshmow1100]

@XxXStellionXxX

yah

[44GamerNerd55]

WE DRINK TO OUR YOUTH, OF THE DAYS COME AND GONE, FOR THE AGE OF AGGRESSION, IS JUST ABOUT DONE. WE'LL DRIVE OUR THE STORMCLOAKS, AND RESTORE WHAT WE OWN, WITH OUR BLOOD AND OUR STEEL, WE WILL TAKE BACK OUR HOME! Now that's a song! Much better than this one!

[RedOctober1922]

You dissidents should all be thrown in imperial shackles. As an imperial officer, i will drink to Ulfric's death!

[robross1992]

where is that?

[Windhelm98]

A great song! Long live Ulfric and his Skyrim!

[CruelMadHatter1992]

I do swear my blood andhonor to the service of Ulfric Stormcloak,
Jarl of Windhelm and true High King of Skyrim. As Talos is my witness, may this oath bind me to death and beyond...
...even to my lord as to my fellow brothers and sisters in arms.
All hail the Stormcloaks, the true sons and daughters of Skyrim!

[doodoodudex]

I d@CruelMadHatter1992 I do hope you realize that the Stormcloaks are racista and Ulfric is a power-hungry deadra wanna-be. Also, they messed up the awesome song "The Age of Aggression"

[Cheesecake11477]

i killed ulfric, stole his clothes and danced on his body during the last imperial mission :D FOR THE EMPIRE

[elmobob90]

I Was Paying Attention To The Drunk Lady In The Back LOL

[Chuck7i]

High king?

[Arbiter567]

We are a foreign people in these lands. Thousands of years of Dunmer culture was lost in the eruption of Vvardenfell. Scattered and diminished, we are a shadow of what once was. But take heed. The Thalmor think themselves above all others. Very soon, a cry will harken through every plain of Tamriel and our foes shall fall under a Dunmeri sword.

[tipttt]

I fought for the stormcloaks, but really, Ulfric is my puppet.

When the time comes, he'll realise whose hand wiggles in whose ass.

P.S.

Fron "age of aggression":

We'll drive out the Stormcloaks and restore what we own,

With our blood and our steel we will take back our home.

How in the heebe-jeebees is Skyrim their home?

[MythicDawn1337]

@tipttt There are actually many nords that doesn't agree with Ulfric, so they joined the Empire instead :) Atleast, that's what I think they mean.

[iNFernoSoulja]

see elf sings it stormcloakes are not as racist as people think they're just against few races because they wanted to dominate nords he just wants to bring things as it was

[KalConduitman]

fuck the storm cloaks and the Empire. I will be high king

[Y0JimmyY0]

Does every one who is a nord think they need to be under the leash of ulfric the imperial army is almostcompletely nords so what's the logic in that

[xeropressure]

@Y0JimmyY0 Religious freedom. The empire banned worshipping Talos.

[CruelMadHatter1992]

@Y0JimmyY0 If you are not with Ulfric, you are against him. Damned imperial...

[Y0JimmyY0]

Does every one who is a nord think they'd

[Southernmetalhippie]

It makes me quite sad. The only bard who sings the honor of the great Ulfric Stormcloak, and she's mediocre at best.

[MrBubbles0o0o]

Hail to Ulfric, You are the high king. in your great honor i drink and i sing.

[BananaTofuGaming]

Down with ulfric the killer of kings! On the day of your death we will dance and we'll sing!

....The age of agression is just about done.

ALL HAIL THE EMPIRE, HAIL TIBER SEPTIM!

[Mithrangil]

As a Nord I sided with the Empire, as an Imperial I will side with Ulfric. Fuck logic.

[valdar666]

Who cares about what happens to the cursed Aldmeri Dominion or the bloody Nords? As long as they stay clear of Telvanni Affairs, I couldn't care less! :)

[xXSoLdxSouLsXx]

your all wrong, after all are weakened we shall be taken from those who wait in Akivar, or does all forget?

[YouAreAllMaggots]

@TheGreatC0mmie Outlanders... we're watching you... scum.

[Dannyasphyxia]

BRB, about to kill this dark elf spy.

[gamerxavier8]

As Neravrine, I think morrowind will be better off without the Aldmeri Dominion. no offonse to any Altmer out there...

[LordCorinth]

as a true son of skyrim, i bleed blue with the stormcloaks and ulfric the true high king, however, sven's age of aggression is far better of a song. ☺

[MetallSwede]

This is interresting. I request the Age of Oppression from this very bard in Windhelm, and she clearly sings "We'll drive out the Stormcloaks" and "Down with Ulfric, the killer of kings".. and i can't get her to sing it properly..... :S i mean, talk about missplaced glitch... she sings about toasting Ulfric's demise.. in WINDDHELM... i was expecting a riot any second XD ... she probably doesn't have the heart to sing Ulfric's praise ^^

[ratam000]

@MetallSwede That was "The Age of Agression", a similar song about the empire.

[MetallSwede]

@ratam000

Yes, i know, i actually heard Age of Agression before i heard Age of Opression within the game. :)

But i encountered a bug which had this woman sing about the downfall of Ulfric, inside Windhelm! ^^ Ulfric's very stronghold. The bards inside every city controlled by the Stormcloaks are only supposed to be able to sing AoO on demand, as the bards in imperial cities only sing AoA. Now, if that isn't a bug, i don't know what is. I did fix it however, with the EVP command. :)

[kerofan101]

You are carrying to much to run.

[sirVhailor]

maybe I'm wrong, but those graphics look crappy for the year 2011 and for one of the most advertised'n'shit games lately.

[sirVhailor]

@yourGODLYhero and that proves what? I mean the huge and detailed part.

[hudson5188]

@sirVhailor its just the video, the game looks amazing in the actual game itself

[jbriggs06]

As a humble Redguard, I'm at a bit at a loss, but regardless I feel I must speak... If Skyrim truly can embrace the equality of the races, I will fully support Ulfric... I hate the ignorant Thalmor who would outlaw Talos, but the elitist racism of the Nords is also a problem...

[kaindrg]

(insert generic comment about Orsimer here )

[kaindrg]

its only a matter of time when i write something nerdy about racial superiority based on history from a fantasy game

[MrChickenwing79]

When Morrowind suffered the Red Mountain disaster and Black Marsh invaded and drove my people from their homes, where was the Empire? The Dunmer are scattered to the winds. We are forced to make a home in Skyrim, but the Nords treat us like scum. We live in ghettos. F the Empire, and F the racist Stormcloaks. We Dunmer are cursed. Nerevar save us. Azura, why have you forsaken us? All is lost.

[stuckupcurlyguy]

@MrChickenwing79 Only a return to the Old Ways can save the Dunmer. The Tribunal's power failed and ruined us while the slaves who were freed now murder and drive us from our ancestral lands. We must win again the motherly favour of Mephala, Boethia and Azura and rebuild the Velothi nation as strong and faithful as she once was... Ancestors protect me.

[LordCorinth]

@stuckupcurlyguy

all the supposed divines/aedra/daedra are just regular people with a lil supernatural power. vivec was a poet who could float, and sotha sil was an electrical engineer of the dwemer who got stabbed. mephala is a neat freak on meth, boethia is dana white of the ufc, and azura is a lazy cow with a soul gem. ;p

[r4dio4ctive]

I used to fight mudcrabs that are stronger than you, but then i took an arrow in the knee

[anarrowintheknee]

My evil char will join the faction which will consider more profitable, caring nothing about Talos and other "gods" at all.

[Babooshka00]

I love the subtle differences between the version sung by the imperial bards, and the stormcloak ones.

[BooDinosaur]

stop right there criminal scum

[SquigApocalypse]

I have a stormcloak clan on reach. Join it if you want.

[CheatMasta]

Death to the traitorous Stormcloaks!

[sc0ttyb0dy123]

Imperials!!! DO YOUR WORST!!!

[arigonian120]

Ulfric suckes and go to oblivion Talos

[i2acf2011]

As an Altmer, I can assure everyone that this conflict will eventually be meaningless as you will all be subjects of the Aldmeri Dominion soon enough. The Empire's victory at the Battle of the Red Ring was purely luck. The superior people of the Mer will eventually control the inferior humans and make sure that only the Aedra are worshiped as is proper, not some man who made an empire.

[MikaelDryden]

@i2acf2011 Thy Bosmer cousins support you. It is too bad that our Dunmer brothers do not share your views as we do.

[SeriousSamx]

@i2acf2011 Well may Talos guide you for trying that.

[TheCostran29]

@i2acf2011 You wretched Altmers will never take Skyrim! To the true sons of Skyrim, the Stormcloaks!

[i2acf2011]

@TheCostran29 Oh, it's merely a matter of time before the Nords are under the boot of the Thalmor and are re-educated about what religion is proper. After all, with Hammerfell in tatters, Elsweyr no longer Imperial and Cyrodiil all but destoryed, in a few years, there will be no one left to oppose the superior Mer. The Empire has but one ally that is fully functional. Your resistance is in vain. Talos worship will be rooted out and destroyed as it should never have happened in the first place.

[baa55555a]

@i2acf2011 Khajiit assure you, we will see Leyawiin burned to the ground before it is entirely lost to the faithless Imperials.

[Thezillionth]

@i2acf2011 As the Khajiit Representative I would like to assure you that I am done talking, go bother someone else please.

[meeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

@i2acf2011 As a Breton, I assure you that with the Empire holding on to Skyrim, it will be strong enough to defend against the Thalmor and reclaim Tamriel.

[yirotogi]

@meeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Skyrim belongs to the nords breton, go back to Cyrodil.

[meeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

@yirotogi Bretons are from High Rock, silly.

[yirotogi]

@meeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Indeed, but that's not where supporters of the empire belong.

[i2acf2011]

@meeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh What exactly will they reclaim? Black Marsh washed itself of the Empire after the Oblivion Crisis, Elsweyr left because the Thalmor were able to restore the moons using Dawn Magic, Hammerfel was deliberetly let go by the Empire after the White-Gold Concordat and the Empire hasn't cared for Valenwood since the rise of Camoran the Userper. Bretons are half Mer, why side with Man when all the Thalmor seek are to restore Mer to their rightful place of power?

[halliehater]

@i2acf2011 Damn Thalmor.....

[joeshmow1100]

@i2acf2011

skyrim belongs to the nords

[mujdecii]

all hail the Ulfric!!

[gmiwoj]

@TheGreatC0mmie then you are a traitor and when empire army will finally roll over your band of savages, you will be executed for treason.

[Shatteraven]

@gmiwoj The Empire would be destroyed with or without Ulfric Stormcloak, anyway. Why don't you go say hello to the Dark Brotherhood, who would take a contract from anybody - even somebody demanding to kill the Empire?

[gmiwoj]

@TheGreatC0mmie its called politics. and politics sometimes requires unpopular decisions. and if some folks don't like it, then they need to be reminded who do they serve.

[SemjaxVideos]

Loyal till the end, All hail High King Ulfric Stormcloak, Ruler of the Nords, and true brother of Skyrim!

[oregonian22]

Fuck You (Thalmor) Fuck You (Nords) Fuck You (Forsworn) You're Cool (Bretons) Fuck You (Falmer)

[HaL0addict001]

FOR SKYRIM, FOR TALOS, FOR ULFRIC! AND FOR FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!

[Manekinen]

I used to be a great bard, then i took an flute in my knee...

[ArborWeek]

The nords are truly a forsaken people.

[TheUltimateMove]

4 people are Imperial scum.

[blokdeblok]

@TheUltimateMove Yay!!! I am Imperial scum too!!!

[LookForMike]

WE ARE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF SKYRIM!!

WE WILL FIGHT TO FREE OUR HOMELAND FROM THE IMPERIAL OPPRESSORS!!

All Hail Ulfric! The True High King of SKYRIM!!

[UIfricStormcloak]

@LookForMike

Thank you

[Mehow80]

@LookForMike AND THEN FALL PREY TO THE HIGH ELVES ONCE THEY DESTROY THE WEAKENED EMPIRE. WE HAVE NO CHANCE OF BEATING THEM BACK! WAIT... DID WE HAVE A PLAN?

[Nyktos4444]

@Mehow80 Better to die fighting the elves than to let them dictate who we worship.

[Mehow80]

@Nyktos4444 Yes, because there is no way that this was only a political decision that could be reversed. You should be throwing all your weight and power behind the Empire in order to deal with the Altmers, not start a rebellion that will be the end of all of us.

[inchop]

@Mehow80 If the Emipre is too weak to stop a rebelion of Stormcloaks then it is simply useless, and Skyrim will be better without them. Just saying.

[gmiwoj]

FFFUCK YOU REBEL SCUM

EMPIRE FTW

[UIfricStormcloak]

Be the Thalmors Lap Dog.

Talos will always be a god

[gmiwoj]

@UIfricStormcloak

Talos was a Tiber Septim once and he practically created empire. And now some rebels try to break apart his empire and ruin work of his life. They defy all he was standing for, for some silly religion.

[UIfricStormcloak]

@gmiwoj

Talos did create the empire but the empire that Talos created is far gone. Its being controlled by the Thalmor

[Jammyslegend]

lol shes a dark elf... storm cloaks hate everything but nords lol

[EarSpear]

@Jammyslegend distrust, not hate =)

[zanderaw]

*supremacist

[zanderaw]

Traitorous Nord supremecist terrorists...

[heyimmabanana]

i like 'the age of aggression' better.... which is the only thing that makes me rethink my stormcloak decision......

[UIfricStormcloak]

You made a better decision joining me

[archangle674]

Personally, id enlist the dark brotherhood to kill the aldmeri dominion, then we'd have no civil war

[KiwiForce123]

LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE! DEATH TO THE STORMCLOAKS

[Revan117]

@KiwiForce123 FOR THE LEGION!

[Thaumologist]

@reddeadfan

Kill ALL the witnesses.

Or pay up.

[reddeadfan98]

i accidentaly got wanted in windhelm (dark brotherhood mission) so how do i lose the bounty 1000 septims without going to jail

[Antibronies]

I support the Stormcloaks, but Age of Agression is way better

[Tullerman]

I wish this was as good as the age of aggression which is much, much better

[SkillShotz4Life]

Down with Ulfric killer of Bretons.

[Sartezzzz]

@SkillShotz4Life fuck you, imperial

[HaloStopMotion1234]

@SkillShotz4Life Hear Hear

[SkillShotz4Life]

Without the Empire the Thalmor would have complete rule and there woulds have bean more wars to comes. The banning of Talos is not much of a sacrifice. I back the Elves I am a Breton bretons are result of humans and Aldmer.

[SkillShotz4Life]

The Snow Elves live peacefully in skyrim. Meanwhile the Nords home was at war so they decided to try wipe them out the remaining Snow Elves to refuge under ground cave dwelling as a relsult the Snow Elves became blind and ugly therefor becoming Falmer. Another thing Ulfric is a hipocrit true Nords fight with weapons in a fair fight but Ulfric weakend the High King with shouts then killed him while he was down.

[Lobsterboyman]

@SkillShot4Life Ulfric was a hardened soldier, Torygg was a pampered arsehole, Ulfric would have won anyway.

[neoxyooj]

@SkillShotz4Life you most be a true imperial. death to the stormcloaks---death to the rebellion! 

[Shaman2760]

Exactly. Ulfric challenged Torygg.  It was a fair combat, a one vs one fight. Ulfric won, and the custom was not carried on cause some suckers in the empire / thalmore cannot accept to loose by the nords rules, even if they accept to play by it. Fuck them all. Let's free Skyrim and Worship anyone you want, including Talos. Also, the divinine part of Talos was prooven, so even if he was just a man, he still effectively, became a Divine power (god).

[Xcharly2009]

I love it, so i tryed to sing it. Would be happy if someone listens to it at my channel, and maybe likes it :-)

Thank you. And thumbs up for this video here.

[Annunimas]

who wants Talos? Hail Sithis!

[crazercat]

@Annunimas Kill Thalmor, should make both happy.

[CrAmbuLa]

ALL HAIL ULFRIC! For the Stormcloaks!

[BooDinosaur]

but the symbol that appears in the skyrim main menu is actually a symbol of the Empire.. it represents akatosh...

and btw EMPIRE FTW

[ShadowPhoenix142]

To Skyrim! To my home! Out with the Empire!

[achicklol]

FOR THE EMPIRE!!

[Antipopularization]

You're all nerds.

[galacticninja7]

@TheMacSopa Down with Ulfric, Killer of Kings - also a Nazi.

[Wes919]

"All hail to Ulfric! You are the high king!" True statement is True.

[Zaruk6]

Copy down the oath and show your respect to the Empire! Down with Ulfric, the Killer of Kings. On the day of your death, we will dance and we'll sing!

[Nemesiidae]

The Dunmer will once again rule Skyrim!

[IHaTeD2]

wow, wtf.

Normally i hate the German ones but for the Female Bards ... o_O

[sadmandali]

I used to be an imperial supporter, then I took an arrow in the knee.

[MythicDawn1337]

Well, this sucks... All hail the Empire!

[NJSJ123]

Can you only request this song if you are with the stormcloaks?

[Parkerz1]

She ain't even a Nord... go back to kitchen and leave the fighting to the Nord men

[IIPaddyb0yII]

i wish their wasnt such a pause between each line...it wrecks everything. i also wish they got better voice actors.

[00Raveran00]

0:24 "You're clothes.. give them to me.. now!"

[Xtratix]

hmmmm...hard for me to decide which one to choose....the Empire could've murdered me at the start of the game....but the stormcloaks are racist to bretons like myself and Ulfric seems power hungry... =/ WHICH DO I PICK????!!!

[Sukorshadow]

@Xtratix Ulfric is a power hungry racist and the empire is only biding their time till they can restart the war with the Thalmor and reinstate Talos worship which are the very things the Stormcloaks want. Even if the Stormcloaks took control of Skyrim the Thalmor would immediately take control after the Empire left. The Empire is the only hope for Skyrim.

[ffsboom]

@Sukorshadow I doubt the Thalmor have that kind of military reach, the provinces/lands of Summerset Isles and Skyrim are on completly different sides of Tamriel. I think they would loose more by laying siege on Skyrim. So the Empire will still serve as a shield for Skyrim, should the Empire fall however, then Skyrim is as good as done for :P

[JudasBB]

Go Ulfric !! o/

[Kennylol]

She sounds like Amy from Big Bang Theory:P

[ninjajuice3000]

its funny that a drow sings this.

[McSanj11]

@ninjajuice3000 now now, they're called dunmer in this world :L

[ninjajuice3000]

@McSanj11 youre right, my bad.

[bob1986]

Wait isn't this nearly the same song as the pro Imperial one? Just with words changed around?
