One day, while doing a Companions Quest, I was going to retrieve the first  fragment of Wuuthrad, when I stumbled upon a Draugr Wight, right before I clashed with it, it made a sound… no… it spoke… sounded like "Zu'u los krosis" or "I am sorry". Do you think it really said this? And if it did, what could it mean?

Perhaps this is a theory but I may be wrong. The Draugers are like zombies I guess you can say, undead. Perhaps they were risen to attack wanderers, however they do not want to attack but they must...to the point where you die. If you fight a ghost they continue to say stuff like I'm sorry, I don't want to do this, or please don't make me do this. Perhaps it is the same with the Darugers. This is a therory of mine, it could be wrong, but this is probably the best answer. I hope this helped.

@Rocko324 How long have you had that theory? I've only thought of that until I think I heard it said, I have heard the ghosts say it though, the thing with the Draugr is that it sounded like a grumble, if you ever encounter a draugr, listen closely, but another thing to take into consideration is the Dragonstone on the back it says "Here lie our fallen lords, until power of Alduin revive" meaning that they possibly did serve dragons at one point, but are they regretting their actions and asking for forgiveness while some other force makes them attack you?

Perhaps, I just had this therory as soon as I read your post. It was the only thing that made enough sence. Perhaps the Drauger are good at heart, but that is for us to find out.

I would actually like to learn more about this topic. I am going to do some research and see what I can find, I'll let you know if I find anything worth knowing.

So I did some research and found some basic common known knowledge but it may help more with this understanding. So, Draugrs were once living beings, Nordic warriors who served the Dragon Priests when they were alive. The Dragon priests were priests who worshipped dragons, basically thinking dragons as some kind of God. (Akantosh) so it is possible that Draugrs were once good warriors who helped to fight off the bad, but the priests got the best of them and the priests and Dragons were too powerful for the Nordic Warriors (Draugrs) to fight off, or refuse. Do you have any theories or do you agree with me? I really would like to dive deeper in this topic with you. This is interesting me now.

Yes, thank you for sharing your theories

But the other thing that doesn't make sense to me is why there are some Draugr that don't wake up. They are wrapped up in linens and seem to be dead. What is it that makes some of them undead, and the others stay dead, if they are all serving the dragon priests.

It may simply be that the embalming process fails sometimes.

On a purely technical note, the Draugr voice file says "unslaad krosis", or "unending sorrow". The most common explanation is that it's a curse directed at the enemy, much like "faaz, paak, dinok" (pain, shame, death).

Interesting, I've never heard a draugr say "thank you" but perhaps if we are hearing more than one saying out of them, then the more likely our theories are true, they might have some more meaning to them than we thought…

I tried diving into the CK, but didn't find anything from Draugr that wasn't Dovahzul. A link to this "thank you" thing would be nice.

@Freymulaar I have never sent a link before, care to tell me how?

Deyruv, just take whatever it is you're uploading and plunk it in any of the big ones (Drоpbox, Imgur, Youtube, Googlе Drivе...) then throw the URL in this thread.

Ok my iPod doesn't have that ability so next chance I get on my computer I will send a link
