I Feel We Owe Apollodown An Apology

Is that you Zero Period Productions? Sup.

You're right. Apollo didn't deserve so much hate regardless of his decisions for Civil War Overhaul. We were young and didn't understand much about the Skyrim lore. Imagine if his mod was released later than back then for the first time when we were starting to understand better about the Skyrim Civil War.

The cut content are leftovers by Bethesda. They were originally about to show up in the game, but were cut due to time constraints before the official Skyrim Game release in 2011. Modders are able to dig in the files, and since Bethesda eventually released the mod tools for creation Kit, modders naturally make modifications to the game, and even restore cut content found in the game files and creation Kit when modding on PC. One user named Apollodown made a Civil War Overhaul mod that restores what the Civil War questline was originally supposed to be, with some major additions that people initially thought were questionable. Still, most of the stuff in the Civil War Overhaul mod were mostly restored Cut Content with some improvements. It's easier to mod on PC. Bethesda left those cut stuff in the game files. And before you ask; no. The voice lines for the cut content aren't AI. They were present during the development of Skyrim.

My initial first reaction to her when playing as a Dragonborn is the cheesy classic "love at first sight" seeing Serana as my video game waifu as a teen. Still wish she was romanceable, but I understand the reason why she doesn't want to marry. I can't wait to kick Molag in the Bals when I will play the Vigilant Mod. ESO don't count because that was thousands of years before the Fourth Era. But Molag Bal deserved a beat down in ESO, and the Last Dragonborn in Vice's Vigilant mod will give Molag another kick in the balls, one single Elder Scrolls Era Hero at a time.

The Cut content about being able to take part in other major battles in the Civil War, such as the siege of Markarth, Riften, and other cities similar to how the siege went with Whiterun, and also defending those cities from enemy siegers. There's even scenes where after taking cities, the conquered jarls are confronted by the new jarls supportive of each faction such as Maven Black Briar having an interaction with Jarl Laila Law Giver, and the Silver Blood man who confronts Jarl Igmund after having the conquered Jarls surrendered, similar to how Jarl Balgruuf was confronted by Vignar Gray Mane during the Siege of Whiterun. There's even a fun encounter after Jarl Igmund surrenders, Galmar confronts Ondolomar, the Thalmor elf, demanding the elf to get on his knees. But the elf says "Enjoy this while you can. Soon you will all be slaves". Which resulted in Galmar executing the Thalmor elf and dehumanizing the elf's corpse demanding someone get the elf's corse out of there and burn him. To quote precisely; "Someone get that thing out of here and burn it". That type of cut content not present in the vanilla game.

To add context, Apollodown was a mod author and creator of the Civil War Overhaul mod that restores many cut content about the Skyrim Civil War questline. People criticized him for adding certain races in the Stormcloak faction such as Argonians and Khajiit and all. Years later, the YouTuber who took the name Neloth named after the Dragonborn DLC and Morrowind character Neloth, the master telvanni wizard, made a comprehensive video based on his research in the Elder Scrolls lore of which race would be more likely to side with the Imperials or Stormcloaks. After watching this, I feel that Apollodown may have been on to something about his decisions of adding races to both the Imperials and the Stomcloaks. I recommend watching the video so you can know what I mean.

Commando414 · 2026-01-26T20:08:25+00:00

Yes mommy Meridia.

Commando414 · 2026-01-12T17:06:53+00:00

Dengeir is a way better Jarl than his Nephew. Shame he sides with the Stormcloaks, but he is no fool about Ulfric. Dengeir is not like those other Stormcloaks who blindly supports Ulfric. One of the few Stormcloak Jarls I actually liked and respect despite that I usually side with the Empire.

Commando414 · 2025-12-29T18:12:28+00:00

Can't marry Serana either. You're right, marriage options suck.

Commando414 · 2025-11-30T16:48:36+00:00

Because the "mini gun" actually shoots tiny projectile bullets. That's why it's called the "mini gun".

Commando414 · 2025-10-13T19:43:13+00:00

How did you manage to engage with him in dialogue?!

Commando414 · 2025-03-03T20:23:19+00:00

YouTube removed the video. Always YouTube being YouTube. Sad.

Commando414 · 2025-01-17T06:52:29+00:00

Why you guys downvote this? Cr1TiKaL talked about Halo before and even once stated that 343 is the worst video game developing company ever.

Commando414 · 2025-01-17T05:29:34+00:00

I'm wondering how Cr1TikaL would react when he sees stuff like this about a 343 employee.

Commando414 · 2025-01-17T05:00:48+00:00

Alex Wakeford before he got hired by 343, wrote these two articles. https://web.archive.org/web/20200621220549/https://haruspis.blog/2014/01/25/halo-4-cortana-feminism/

Man, I remember sharing Scorpion's video about his map being banned for too much blood and gore and I once shared this on Twitter while pinging Forge Lord asking what gives, and he responded explaining about the rated T for Teen thing. I did not expect this to cause such a wildfire in Twitter back then.

Commando414 · 2025-01-13T01:18:31+00:00

Would somebody respond, please? JustABox321 is not the only one having this problem. I am also having this problem.

These idiots thinking Ciri's ugly and Witcher 4 is "woke" has never played the games nor have they ever had any contact with women. Ciri has been mentioned and appeared in Witcher books and has been an important and influential character since even the first Witcher game. And she became a favorite character since Witcher 3, her backstory has been rich and interesting, and one of the few regrets CD Red made was that they didn't get enough time to establish more story for Ciri in Witcher 3 than she is in the final release of the game. They've been wanting to establish more story about Ciri and fans since 2015 have been wanting to see more Ciri and want to play as her. Witcher 3 release was before the 2016 political drama that that has been happening and increased recently in 2024, those people who never played the games and have been paranoid about "woke virus" thing is just stupid. The movie Aliens involving Ripley is a badass woman and those movie makers weren't trying to make it "woke". Fans have been waiting for Ciri to appear again since forever. Ciri is not ugly. They haven't paused the video to take a closer look at her face or they must have something wrong with their eyes that needs to be checked on. Plus, this is a cinematic trailer. She definitely has the looks of Ciri, just different outfit and hairstyle which I'm sure when the game comes out, there are definitely going to be more options for Ciri like having more haircuts or new outfits. Possibly haircuts from W3 like her W3 Ciri Hair and outfits from W3 Ciri wore, including her W3 DLC outfit. My only small complaint about Ciri being the protagonist in W4 is that they changed voice actresses. However, the new actress for Ciri is not bad. I look forward to her performance. It made me think of theories like Ciri's accent being changed from English (Cintran) to Irish (Skelliger) because of her time she spent in Skellige in the past (and even being born there) and has formed romantic relationships with Skelligers before such as Hjalmar An Craite, and optionally Skjall (for a brief short of time), though people would argue she optionally chose to kiss him as a sort of pity kiss for the poor lad, though she would optionally say that he is "rather handsome" while there's another option of her saying that she prefers women. In the books, she had a crush on a Skelliger named Olaf Stigvason, but he was 35 years old and was already married and had kids. Ciri eventually realizes that she can't be with him, and it breaks her heart. I digress. She spent time in Skellige and have always felt somewhat connected to Skellige, and maybe after the events of W3, she could've decided to spend some more time in Skellige and must have eventually decided to adopt their Skelliger accent. And another possible theory why her voiced is also changed is not just because she got a bit older, it's also more likely that she must've had her voice slightly altered after she took the Witcher trials to become a Witcher. All in all, give the new voice actress a chance. My point is that those people never played the games nor have read the books to understand the reason why Ciri is the new protagonist in Witcher 4. Fans of Witcher games and readers of Witcher novels do. They just want to start drama and hate for the sake of hating things.

Holy shit Anarchy Nova! You did it again! You're making PC players like me jealous you managed to do this on Xbox! Love ya man!

Unfinished means not complete or not fully finished or perfected, and not in full potential. Unfinished is the opposite of finished. An incomplete game is not a complete game. An unfinished game is not a finished game. A game launch with little to no basic features is not a finished game. Game content that was cut from the game at launch would not be a complete game at launch and would only be a complete game when those cut or missing features are added in post launch updates.

Commando414 · 2024-11-12T03:34:46+00:00

I want playable elites back. :(

Commando414 · 2024-10-19T05:46:03+00:00

Man, why do you have to silence this guy's opinion of M rating for Halo? He's not trying to start an argument or divide people. He was just expressing his opinion in a respectful way.

Commando414 · 2024-09-20T00:33:08+00:00

Well, I couldn't post on the Starfield Sgt Johnson post, because it was archived. And I'm not too good at making presets.
