[VIDEO] Tragedy in Riften

A role play music video for a short story that myself and @Glaiceana created and joked about while playing the game, dedicated to Pingu the pig. It has been left a little ambiguous intentionally.


Video was created solely from game play footage in the Live EU server, with many shots taking an absolute age and many takes to get, thanks to unlucky animations and other players running through etc, great fun though.

Note to ZoS (if you’re reading): It is currently extremely hard for players to create content such as this. The only user creativity tools we really have are the field of view sliders (used extensively in this for various effects and unusual shots), the Alt key with the UI off to get a blur effect, as well as relying on help from friends to get extra shots and angles. A limited free camera not centred around your characters position would be a great addition, along with a ‘screenshot mode’ of sorts to disable seeing other players, a position/rotation/animation loop lock for a pet, a weather toggle option and a setting to guarantee a particular idle animation plays when you want it to. We have two computers in the same room and the same animations do not play for the same character on both screens and weather conditions can be completely different for a long time. Also please make it so that Pingu can always stop running when he stands still, he gets so tired :(

    I don't like machinima, but I agree there should be toggle options for say the block identification and ui.

    That was amazing! I know how long it takes to make videos like that and how hard it can be to get the right shot. Awesome work!

    Thanks for the awesome comments guys :) It was a lot of fun to film. We were just being silly originally, it all started as kind of a joke, but as we developed the character and story and began to film, it kind of took off, and we started getting more serious with the shots etc :D
    And yeah it really would be helpful if weather was synced for players, as well as animations.

    @Daraugh Thank you. The shot at the end where the pig walks up to the mystery meat was a nightmare, my girlfriend had to place the meat and I had to walk past it and have the pig stop with its snout on top of it. It was meant to just be a quick silly thing but after finding a couple of cool angles we got a little carried away :D I'm guessing you've also done some game videos then? Would be interested to see them :)

    This was pretty awesome!!! You perfectly nailed it and Snuff was cherry on the cake. BTW Corey as an orc is pretty accurate. Might as well send this over to them and I'm sure they'll make it their official video :lol:

    @paulsgruff I made a few with my guild, Fangs of Winter, but nothing as polished really. This is the latest one... hoping to make more soon! I love when something random or unintentional happens and it becomes a great part of the video.
