ESO's Ouroboros in Game of Thrones?

Dorjee · August 2017

Did anyone notice that the emblem on Grey Worm's chest at the beginning of the last episode of GoT (S7E7) - looks like ESO's Ouroboros?

Thogard · August 2017

There's another ouroborus in GoT in the credits of a lion eating a wolf eating a dragon... very similar to ESO.

But GoT has had that theme from the books since well before ESO came out.

And ESO steals theirs from DAoC.
(DAoC was 3 realms fighting - Midgard/Vikings vs Albion/Britons vs Hibernian/Elves... sound familiar?

And what about the molten weapons?

The concept of the ouroboros has been around for thousands of years. Originally just a single serpent eating its own tail, but multi-critter ouroboros have predated ESO, GoT, and DAoC.

I say they all ripped off the X-Files because Scully got an Oroboros tattoo on her back in S4.

that was back in 96.

In the GoT series finale we'll all find out that it was just some kid playing a video game this entire time...

wenchmore420b14_ESO · September 2017

Well, HBO did approach Todd Howard in 2011 to make a GoT Game.
He turned it down and focused on Skyrim instead.. YaY!!
But seriously, the "Ouroboros" symbol has been around since pre-greek times.

That would explain why all the characters die.

I've never watched GoT. I thought about buying the box set but the price always makes me change my mind.

People interested in buying the box set, I always try to tell them to wait. Because there is still one season left and if you buy the box set now you will want the final season on DVD too, but it would look weird on your shelf. Plus, when it comes out with season 8 I am willing to bet there will be a pretty awesome special edition box set.

this is very true, but the targaryen ouroboros is pretty much the ESO logo with the heads changed

the HBO series is fine - however, I would highly recommend the audio version of the book series...great for walking, driving, or just doing the dishes...

the show exposes maybe a third of grrm's world of ice and fire...

I agree, the box set is really to much. GOT series 1-6 Blu-ray. ($176.99 on eBay currently) But can't help looking at that Bust.

He's not casting it on the group though = selfish tank. Also why isn't he spamming igneous? Must be a fake tank that is really a 2h pvp dps zergling who chose the tank roll so his queue could pop early. Also he always runs with that pocket healer who is ALSO a dk, and we all know dk are fake healers no matter how much Dubious Camoran Throne they chug or Vigor they cast.

Agreed. I bet that scrub has backbar bow!

Yes... but I don't think there is a constant 3 way conflict in elder scrolls? I haven't played anything prior to morrowind though so can't confirm.

But if you weren't aware, this game is basically DAoC 2. Especially with regards to PvP. The similarities are too numerous to count, but here are some of the basics:
1. Three realms / alliances fighting: a British realm, a Viking realm, and an elven realm
2. Earn realm points / alliance points for killing players.
3. Focus on siege warfare
4. Each realm has keeps with inner and outer wall surrounded by four tower structures, which you can take to cut off port and to decrease strength of guards.
5. Can port to any keep your realm has unless the "chain" is broken
6. Milegates are literally the exact same model and in the same place
7. A monster controlled area in the middle, that has its own currency for buying special items, and which you're constantly under threat of getting ganked. (Darkness falls in DAoC)
8. Matt firor as director lol

Here are some pics of DAoC:

Sieged a hole on the outer wall, looking outside at a tower:

True, and I think we all can agree that dragons boss mechanism is a bit OP.

Too bad the book series isn't finished (and may never be finished, at least by GRRM).

I've been reading the books since they started publishing them and at this point would bet against him finishing them before I die.

There's a lot more going on in the books but I think the TV series captures the core of the story. So I'll have to content myself with that.

Because there is zero new in ESO. It is made by recycling things, and that is just sad.
