Obviously, for the game "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", Nebula Games is full of confidence.

This also makes countless players look forward to what kind of performance the game "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" will have.

Although Nebula Games has basically no new content except for the previous official blog and official website.

But players' spontaneous attention and discussion have kept the popularity of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" down.

This also makes some other game manufacturers full of envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts.

In order to be able to warm up a lot of money and spend a lot of money on your own games, you may not be able to get good results.

But look at Nebula Games, the popularity of doing nothing has always remained there.

Especially with players' full expectations, Nebula Games and Chen Xu's official blog have a new move.

A simple promotional video instantly raised the popularity of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" to the top.

Countless players excitedly rushed to each other, swiping the screens in major game groups and communities, and some even didn’t even watch the publicity announcement for the first time, but clicked in the screenshot and posted it on the post bar.

'According to Nebula Games' convention, this means that the game is almost ready! ? ’

'This is simply the best news I've heard! ’

'Mr. Chen is awesome! ’

‘By the way, I thought it would be the DLC of Xenoblade Chronicles, but I didn’t expect it to be the sky! ’

Countless players who are following the game have left excited comments under the official blog.

Then they clicked on the trailer to see this new work of Nebula Games, which has returned to the open world after many years.

………………

Relief walls depicting ancient prophecies, burning torches.

The next moment the camera switches.

The towering mountains, dense forests, and a piece of silver snow.

'You should act, they are back! ’

Firelights blazed and ancient reliefs appeared on the screen.

Continuous camera cuts, mysterious reliefs of ancient prophecies, adventurers breathing in low voices in the forest path.

On the walls of the ancient prophecy, countless dragons with outstretched wings rushed towards the city.

'The Elder Scrolls foretold their return. ’

‘Their failure was only a delay. ’

The dull drum sounded, the camera returned to the Frost Forest, and a strange roar came from the sky.

'Since the gate of oblivion opened, when the children of skyrim killed each other. ’

The background music gradually turned from dull to exciting, and the relief of the ancient prophecy became clearer and clearer.

With the sound of gasping, an adventurer in armor with a sword and shield was forced to the edge of the cliff and seemed to have nowhere to go.

'But no one wants to believe they exist...'

A huge shadow appeared behind the adventurer, obscuring the sky.

'When the truth was finally revealed, it was already caught in a sea of ​​fire. ’

The camera moved slowly, finally letting people see what the behemoth was.

A pitch-black dragon with its wings spread out to cover the sky.

There was no emotion in the dark dragon eyes.

With the roar of the giant dragon, the adventurer swung his sword and shield and turned to kill the giant dragon.

Instantly, the background music became exciting.

The terrifying dragon breath spewed out of the dragon's mouth, and the surrounding ice and snow melted instantly under the high temperature.

Faced with the huge dragon, the adventurer seems to have fallen into a disadvantage.

'But...they also have fear, in their language...DOVAHKIIN' [Dragonborn]

A strange word came out of the narrator.

The next moment the camera switched, bathed in dragon breath.

The adventurer fell to one knee, but was unscathed.

In the burning flame, he slowly got up and took a deep breath.

There was a strange roar: 'FUS! RO! DAH! ’

A blue light emanated from the Dragonborn's mouth, skipping the dragon.

Instantly extinguish the burning dragon breath around.

At the same time, the video lens is rapidly stretched, and the background BGM becomes magnificent.

'Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin, naal.ok.zin.los.vahriin'

‘Wah.dein.vokul.mahfaeraak.ahst.vaal! ’

A song completely different from any known language rang out.

Incomparably grand and full of epic feeling.

In this magnificent song, the camera cuts through the entire Skyrim Province.

The most fertile city in front of the northernmost port: Lonely City.

The white river rushing around the city, the dense farmland outside the city, the trade teams going and going, and the snowy city with various water conservancy and windmills.

Divided into two by a huge canal, most of the city floats on the water with wooden piers, and there are countless rift cities coming and going from cargo ships.

and Winterhold in a blizzard.

The customs of Skyrim Province are shown in the video.

In addition, there are giants in the wild, various terrifying monsters in the dungeon, and beasts in the forest.

And of course the most terrifying creature: the dragon.

The camera returns to the Dragonborn again, and the battle has come to an end.

The dragon's body was already covered with scars. Looking at the dragonborn in front of him, the dragon's eyes had a fearful expression for the first time.

It fluttered its wings to escape, but the Dragonborn breathed as deeply as before in the face of the dragon.

A roar of unknown language roared from the Dragonborn's mouth again.

The energy visible to the naked eye pushed the dragon down from the sky.

Then the sharp blade in the Dragonborn's hand pierced the dragon's body, taking its life away.

As the dragon's life passed, its flesh fell to shreds.

Two different energies, blue and red, are absorbed by the Dragonborn.

At the same time, the video also ends.

………………

This isn't the best promotional trailer for Nebula Games.

But for players, it has extraordinary meaning.

After all, this is a new work of Nebula Games that has truly returned to the open world after several years.

And in addition to this, what makes countless players curious is that in this promotional notice, they saw something different.

There is nothing unusual about the content in the propaganda notice.

Although what looks from the picture feels very good.

But Nebula Games is known as a film company, and there are many amazing promotional videos.

For example, each of the Warcraft series can be regarded as a classic.

Therefore, this promotional video for "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", although excellent, has not yet made players feel amazing.

In terms of setting, the so-called Dragonborn should be the protagonist played by the player, and the background of the story is the same as that of most fantasy stories.

prophecy, and a savior.

But what really makes players care about is another thing that is shown in the game.

That is language.

Lyrics, and the dragon roar that the dragonborn roared.

Completely unheard language!

And there are corresponding translations.

Decent.

For example, 'DOVAHKIIN' translates, that is Dragonborn, grab the root treasure.

And the theme song of the whole game is also these unique languages.

And these are the unique languages ​​created in The Elder Scrolls series: Draconic.

Compared to Quenya in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, and Klingon in Star Trek.

The dragon language in The Elder Scrolls is not rigorous, and there are many contradictions and loopholes.

But the Draconic language, which references Finnish and Mesopotamian cuneiform, is not a complete fabrication.

And as a game, it's enough.

This kind of virtual language, for the construction of a huge world view, especially for an open-world RPG game like "The Elder Scrolls", if it is well shaped, it is definitely a key link that can enhance the player's sense of substitution.

Such an obvious thing was placed in the promotional video, which obviously attracted the attention of some players.

‘By the way, does anyone know what language the game’s theme song is? The majestic is majestic, but I don't understand it at all! ’

‘It’s not English, it’s not French, German, or anything, but it feels a little Persian. ’

‘Fuck, upstairs? ? ? ? ? Upstairs Niubi ah! Do you know this? ’

'I know the hammer, I'm bragging, you can say whatever you want. ’

‘Fuck report, cheat my feelings! ’

'Isn't the dragonborn mentioned in the dovahkiin game? Translating it into English is Dragonborn, but I searched it with translation software and couldn't translate it at all! ’

‘By the way, could this be a specially made-up language for The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim? Wasn't there something like Heka in "Warcraft" and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" before? ’

'It's not impossible to say that! ’

‘No, what are you fighting for? Open the video yourself and listen carefully, what is Finnish, what is Persian, this is Chinese at all! You listen to it: Paladin, Paladin, let his blood and soul spill on the ground; pick up the bow and pick up the gun, we are ambitious to challenge... Is this Chinese? ’

‘I’m really fucked, where is the talent, I can’t hold back this transliteration! ’

‘This can also be transliterated, but don’t say it’s very similar! ’
