In the latest "let's overanalyze" episode, we take a closer look at the Companions and Silver Hand, Skyrim's perhaps strangest enemies.

Some of the topics covered:

my issue with game's factions in general
It’s all one big never ending story (or how Tamriel's myths, legends, multimillenial history, active presence of deities and ancient ghosts create a weird, dream time continuum)
-Kodlak as an ideal (and maybe last) Companion
-Silver Hand's gradual detoriation into barbarism & ambiental storytelling
-Silver Hand could rival Companions as common folk's champions compared to more uppity Companions

...and much more

Additional notes:

This was a learning process for me as I never attempted covering such a large topic before. So, I'm aware of all the faults. First couple of chapters are mostly rants. I also delve into history and some meta concepts such as nature of time within the Elder Scrolls, trying to provide more context to the story., ending up with a more slow paced, longer video. Not the best idea in this era of fast-cut edited videos. Next video will be 100% focused and on topic.

On a more technical side, my audio is still pretty bad. I can't get rid of the echo in my room and overal audio processing is something I'll have to fix soon.
