      If Bethesda goes by this video's list of things casual players never did, they'll figure it's a waste of time making any quest that the player is not explicitly led into from the start. Also, no alchemy/crafting next time.
      On a positive note, even casual players enjoy classes, so maybe that's a hint.

      Look into the nolvus modpack, it actually brings back that sense of wonder you got in the first playthrough, the world looks incredible. The combat is super fun in third person with a combo system and active dodge rolls.
      My personal favorite are the new sneak idle squat and the fact that bows, quivers, and swords kind of move around on your character while you walk around.
      It HIGHLY recommend it.
      It's also an auto install, you just need lots of space.

      in January 2018 i decided to finally mod the game because i thought there is no way theres still quests i still didnt play myself or watch someone play them right? but to my surprise, 2024, theres still things i am discovering. sometimes im so surprised to the fact i discovered something in 2024 where i would google the quest/npc/place etc. just to see if its part of a mod or not
      at this point, im rushing to finish my modded game so i can 100% the game without mods. maybe only combat mods, graphical mods, bug fixes and stuff like that. but no mods that add new places or npcs or anything like that

    It actually blows my mind that basic stuff like walking places instead of fast-travelling absolutely everywhere is some kind of revelation for people. Having played Skyrim since 2011, it's been evident ever since then that a good 80% of the magic in a Skyrim playthrough is what happens on the roads, just out and about, because that's where all the game's systems interact best.

      Exactly, fast travel should ONLY be used to travel back and forth between locations tied to quests, for example fast traveling to Jorrvasker after each Companions job. Walk to the objective location manually but feel free to fast travel back to Whiterun if you'll just take the same path back, again though this shouldn't be for every quest just the kind that have you going back and forth from one set location

    The order of questing is such that the book is more orderly. When it comes to the game itself, it's generally the best idea to talk to everyone and gather all the quests wherever you are, and just complete them as you go.
    So for example doing the Mythic Dawn Museum quest as soon as you get the letter, and running into Vaermina quest and other quests on the way.
    This is especially the case with no fast travel.

    There is a lot of cool and unique stuff along the main path that does not make other appearances. Like the birds flying away when you exit Riverwood, the entirety of Jurgan Windcaller's tomb (the number of times wirlwind sprint is needed), unique animations like the way Esburn searches his pockets, wearing the Thalmor Robes to pass peacefully, the voice acting for the main characters is full of personality, and Clear Skys is only used twice in the entire game, unless I missed something.

    Absolutely, loved this video. I was a little bummed out when Avati only did it so minimally. I love how you went through the whole playthrough! Great job, man! My only critique was the ending felt abrupt and I feel like I didn't hear you give a conclusion. I guess an epilogue you can say lol I felt so invested and watched your whole video in one sitting. I thought I was going to hear a "Final Thoughts" where we kind of have a sit-down and what you thought and everything lol

'I see no point in alchemy' or 'I grow gardens of blisterwort, canis root, and swamp fungal pod'; 'walking the overworld is wonderful' or 'I will climb the walls if I have to walk to Ivarstead one more time'; 'I can kill Paarthurnax for the quests' or 'I would die for my precious uwubebe formerly genocidal dragonbean' ^_^ Fascinating stuff.

      I have a garden with a whole bunch of plants, but the ones I was really happy to discover were scaly pholacia and creeping canis root (I hope I remembered those names right) because they create a Fortify Carry Weight potion, which is crucial for me because I tend to pick up everything of value when I go on quests.

    I'm guessing the book makes no mention of the dragonpriest masks. So if you want something to do returning to this save file, if you collect all of the dragonpriest masks in the base game there is a hidden secret mask you can get and it has a very powerful effect. Have fun on one of the games best treasure hunts in my opinion.

      There are three different speeds the player can move. Walk, run, and sprint. On PC, I believe the default speed is walk. You can press shift to run, or caps lock to toggle running. Alt controls sprint.
      Something I learned recently as a veteran Skyrim player -- interacting with the little flags positioned on the in-game maps of Skyrim (ex. Upstairs behind Balgruuf's throne), will mark the location on your map, similar to when an NPC talks about a location. I thought it was so cool!!

    So, I am about 8 minutes in now. Just past the part where you talked about following the path up to High Hrothgar.
    I want to tell you, and anyone else who wants to do a "no fast travel playthrough," which is how I play by default. There are a few shortcuts between Whiterun and Ivarstead that will save you a LOT of time that I didn't learn about for a long time.
    As you are traveling the road east from Whitrun, keep an eye out for a stone cairn on the left side of the road. If you hit the Towers, you missed it. This cairn marks a trail that is very lightly used and hard to spot as a result. If you follow it, it should lead you up some switchbacks and then through a small pass on the face of The Throat of the World, high enough for snow. It will connect with another shortcut that will lead you up to Ivarstead, beware of the troll near the stream crossing.
    The second shortcut is beyond the towers, after the road reconnects with the white river at the bottom of the falls and crosses a bridge. There is a cairn that marks the trail to Lost Knife Hideout, a cave, on the left. You can continue past Lost Knife up the hill. This trail will eventually connect to the other trail I mentioned. Dont forget to check out the tree bridge on your way up this trail.
    That whole cliffside has a bunch of trails and shortcuts between the Rift and Eastmarch. Roads are good for getting where you want to go, but dont forget to get lost on a trail or two.
    Finished the video now, good work. Personally I still haven't fought the Ebony Warrior, I play to slow. Skyrim is a magical game, and it's always fun to witness someone's "firsts" with it. Its just a fun game to play and share your experiences with.

    Cracking the cryptic: why do Hadvar and Ralof say, "I think it's best if we split up?" Because they have to get to Riverwood to inform Delphine that when Lokir of Rorikstead was killed Alduin returned.
    When you return the dragonstone to Farengar Delphine is leaning over the book Holdings of Jarl Gjalund. You don't hear what Delphine says to Farengar but you hear his reply which is "You see, it's a different terminology..." There is only one entry in Holdings of Jarl Gjalund that has a different terminology in 4E 201 and that is Rorikstead is a different terminology of Rorik's Steading. They can only be talking about Lokir of Rorikstead's death causing the return of Alduin.
    When Felldir the Old banishes Alduin he says, "From all our endings unto the last." It's the "ending" of Lokir that causes Alduin to return and no one else.
    Bethesda Games Studios has committed a deception against us. They belong to a cult that is working to keep us deceived. I'm not accusing them of lying but then again they don't tell us the whole truth. They've turned deception into and art form.
    They give you enough information to tell you that Lokir of Rorikstead was the last Dragonborn and if you believe you are the last Dragonborn then more fool you.
    Before Skyrim starts a genocide has been committed by the Blades which is an underground organisation. They have done it to fulfill the prophecy of the last Dragonborn. That's why Hadvar was willing to let you go when you exited the cave at Helgen. When Lokir was killed and Alduin returned it was mission accomplished.

But I still have my original save file I started when the game came out on Xbox 360 and I still go back to this day and play that file. I mailed my Xbox and monitor to Afghanistan before I deployed in 2011. It went to Iraq by mistake and still found it's way to me after 3 or 4 months and Skyrim ended up being the thing that kept me sane over there. This game will never be topped. I will always go back to it.
