Hi everyone. You can get some MAGIC MIND by clicking here: magicmind.com/anyaustin and using my promo code ANYAUSTIN20. I enjoy this little green drink. I generally enjoy little green drinks honestly. And little drinks in general. I used to drink 3-4 of those Dollar Tree Energy Shots a day, which is definitely bad for me. Magic Mind is an improvement. Anyway have a great day.
Imagine running a taxi service and the guy doing the job survey marks you down as a con artist instead because he doesn't understand that he has to actually sit in your cab for you to take him somewhere. Boss: "Why does the jobs report list us as some kind of con!?" Driver: "Shit, I didn't know what was going on. The guy walked around in circles, gave me $300, and left."
Except he was actually inside the boat… he just didn’t click a button to sit down. More like you get into a taxi and the driver just sits there and lets you keep paying him for rides, but will never start until you click a button under the seat. So con artist fits.
@@asonofliberty3662so more like you get into a taxi, pay, then stand in the taxi for a few minutes instead of sitting down, then climb out and walk away
@@asonofliberty3662A.) That's a quirk of the game, its equally silly to pretend you're actually doing what the game asks when it tells you to sit in a chair and instead of doing that you just jump onto the model and crouch.

It's a well known glitch actually. You can't actually get the tour after you find the dead body of the woman. So it has to be done on one of your first visits to windhelm before that quest can start.

it's truly a tragedy that this series, for skyrim at least, is coming to a close since the next one is going to be a compiling of all of the cities into an analysis of the entirety of skyrim.
Important to mention, is that if you do manage to catch Calixto during operating hours, he charges a couple gold pieces for a tour of his museum; one that offers a couple unique items such as Ysgramor's soup spoon and the dancers flute. Bad hours and bad returns aside, I would argue that his museum is still more of a hobbyist endeavour, but being that he does still charge a flat rate for a service renders him employed. Please report back to the bureau for reassignment.
This part about the farmer sounds like it could be a new video topic. Following the people of Skyrim to figure how long it takes for them to get around and shit.
I really love watching this series imagining that Austin is someone from the real world Bureau of Labor Statistics who got isakai'd into a fantasy world and is still just doing his job. It delights me.
"I'm a Mid-30's Government Worker Who Just Wants To Keep Doing my Job Even in this Fantasy World" would also be a hilarious comedy isekai plot. Like just this straight-laced, no nonsense married-to-his-job guy who rejects the isekai powers or important missions and just goes and tries to do some mundane but useful job for the citizens, but then his mundane job either takes him on detours and he winds up doing the hero's quest anyway, and/or his mundane but useful service actually winds up helping the kingdom more than direct fighting.
Obviously be judicious but always factor it in yourself whether you feel like actually bringing it up or not. Especially for low wage jobs, hourly jobs, whatever hourly they tell you redo that math including commuting time+money and use that as your comparison point!!
My very first job was 45 minutes away, if traffic wasn't bad. I could never save money or get ahead bc I spent so much on gas and my car in general. Travel time is definitely something I wish I'd thought more about when I was younger and looking for work.
@@jvseventeen I JUST went through this where my first out of college job was 45 minutes away, if I passed all the slow traffic on the way. Just quit that job partially because of that, and my boss refused to hire anyone that far away again to replace me lol
Also, if you happen to get a job that requires you to travel, find one that has you use a company car. Saves you the headache in case there's an accident and saves you on gas money and typical car maintenance.

I feel like the argonian population on the docks was overlooked during the survey. Like the dunmer, they are relegated to menial labor and have to deal with hostile racist harassment. But they all live in a single large shared dormitory, while the dunmer have their own homes and even a few dunmer-run businesses.
Yeah iirc the Dumner self-segregate after Ulfric granted them refugee status during the Red Mountain eruption, the Argonians are straight up excluded from society

The way you did that sponsorship is great. Such a refreshing and welcome change of pace from all the people clearly being contractually obligated to point out buzzwords to just have you give your real, positive first impressions with your disclaimers and personal tastes in there. It actually got me interested but I had trouble finding nutritional information on their website, which is my main interest with these drinks.
It's been long enough that when you ask the best method for determining the unemployment rate I've actually started saying "a direct survey" out loud, like I'm watching Dora the Explorer or something.
I know people who put commutes on their timesheets. I work at home, but sometimes I include the ten seconds it takes me to walk from the sofa to my desk in my paid time
@@tylerb6981 Yeah it's contract work writing help content and that kinda stuff for a software company. My dad and brother both work there, and I needed a flexible job after college
So used to hearing sponsorships in such a cookie-cutter way that this was really refreshing, fit into the video well and wasn’t jarring or weird. Great video as always :)
I came home today to find out the Bureau of Labor broke into my house again. I know I haven’t been answering my mail but damn this is the third time this year.
The bit about "potions that help you feel better about your life" at 8:23 really cracked me up for some reason. I almost spat my tea all over my keyboard. Inexplicable, but -- great job!
2:37 To be fair, the guy who is getting complained to about not having tools actually has some lines where he goes to the market in town and begs a shop keeper for more tools, even offering to pay double so his workers and himself (who also works the farm) can have an easier and more productive time And no, I didn't make this up like my comment on the last Skyrim video, I just saw it myself 2 days ago but had never seen the dialogue at the farm (because why would I go to that farm? only reason I'm there is to swim to the docks)
@@Pwnopolis I'm doing a pure mage run right now so that wouldn't help me much, can't poison a fireball and if I get hit I've done something wrong and a potion wouldn't save me (there's no potion of fortify player skill)
@@HappyBeezerStudios Tl;dr: I don't need to fortify my Magicka or health I use enchanted gear for fortify Magicka and fortify Magicka Regen and as a mage I just don't get hit, destruction's impact perk stun locks enemies if you're careful and then there's also followers and conjuration to draw aggro away from yourself. If I do get hit I probably won't get one shot so I just pop a close wounds spell really quick before switching back to destruction. With the enchanted gear I have, almost every enemy will stay staggered long enough with fire bolt that I Regen more Magicka than I used so I can spam it until I get low then carefully stun lock them until they die. Fire bolt shoots pretty fast so anything besides other mages are not an issue since you can backup while firing. Some animals like bears are tricky because they're fast and have very short stagger times but you can still shoot fire bolt fast enough to stun lock them. Mages are tricky because wards and/or shock spells so stealth is handy, especially with the illusion perk that makes spells silent, I'll often kill enemies with fire bolt before I'm fully detected. The less enemies the easier it is but the more enemies there are the farther back I'll pull to focus more on summoning and staying out of aggro
16:25 I really appreciate how tuned in you are to the ridiculous practices of 9-5 jobs and provide smart tips on how to navigate that bureaucracy. I also really like your deep thoughts on the art of games. One of my fave youtubers
I do want to say that the Argonians definitely get the short end, they aren't even allowed in the city and live in the argonian assemblage. Which is basically just glorified barracks, and I'm not sure you've been there during this survey.
don't worry, he can do Oblivion next :) and who knows, by the time he's done all of Morrowind, redguard, daggerfall and Arena ES6 might actually be out 😂
Man I love your videos so much. This is such a neat idea, exploring these older games and using real world logic to compare them, it’s honestly one of the most fun things I’ve watched in ages. Awesome stuff dude.
I'm 25 and live in a major city that requires my dumb ass to do crazy commutes in the morning and I NEVER thought to take that into account when interviewing, thanks for the tip Austin!
I still remember that when families live a certain distance from the school, the school district pays for public transport for the children. And I've seen enough jobs that include either fuel money, or part payment for a monthly public transport ticket. Or if the job requires moving around a lot, either hotel costs, or otherwise payment for accommodation. So yes, absolutely take commute into account.
I just want it to be known that I clicked on this video bc I know for a fact that my favorite NPC in all of Skyrim is employed in Windhelm as a cook and only has 3 lines of dialogue. EDIT: 0:54 YYYEEAAHHHHHH
It's like we are all newbies to this job and he is the supervisor, taking us into the field. Just a huge gang of people scribbling down his every word on a notepad, comparing notes with one another.
@@GaunterODimm666 why does it have to be a reference to that specific person? I remember hearing that joke when I was something like 10 years old from a Minecraft RUclipsr.
Loved the video Austin! I liked how you added an echo to your voice when you were going thru the empty murder house. Your attention to detail is superb!
at the 3:00 mark the argonions aren't allowed in the city so the sleep on the docks they work at. like the door next to the east empire company is where the lizards sleep.
Can you do a check of the mental health in different cities? Im curious about how many has depression, eating disorders or struggle with substance abuse. And how does this reflect in the employment rate
I've been commenting about that on multiple videos he's done. My complaint is that when he put the total in the title I had no reason to continue watching because I got my answer. Very happy to see he's changed that approach.
Those two areas qre unlocked by following the "Blood on the Ice" questline that was initiated with the body in the graveyard and questioning them. Known as the most broken quest in Skyrim. I've found following the walkthrough on UESP Wiki allows it to never fail.
You missed quite a few (or you just didn't show them):/ There's a prison in the keep, an alchemy shop and a temple of Talos inside of the city, East Empire Company headquarters (which has a very fun questline) and an argonian sleeping quarters with more people (that i believe don't come out) at the docks and a stable outside of the city. Also, there should be a writer and a hireable follower in the inn and a nanny with a child outside of Aretino residence (which has another child inside). Lastly, if you move forward a bit with the Blood on the Ice questline, you can pay Calixto for a tour of the House of curiosities, which should mean he is employed.
Yea I cut some stuff out for flow- I think you’re right that I missed the alchemy shop, which is weird. I did get the stable, the prison, the temple, etc.
@@any_austin Just for the record, we all love your videos and enjoy them being as long as they can be, so no need to cut things out for flow. :) Your interactions with Skyrim's populace are very entertaining.
@@any_austin yeah, I figured you probably counted the stables and the docks, but it's a shame you cut it out as i really enjoy your interpretation of the places storytelling, and, as has been already commented, i would love for your videos to be as long as they can been, even though I understand that the editing must be really tedious
Can we get a video breaking down which of the cities and holds are the safest? You could do so based of the ratio of guards to civilians, physical defenses such as walls or by geographical location or of course all of these. You could also note through personal interviews the public's perception of the city and its safe or unsafe rumors.
6:28 Definitely did not expect a shoutout for the Cryptozoology Museum. There are a ton of eccentric-museum-house type places in Maine, not just them. The Cryptozoology Museum is just the coolest one.
I appreciate the angle you came at the ad from. Rather than making unsubstantiated claims about all the magical properties of a supplement, you focused on the fact that it's a fun little routine, regardless of if it actually works or not. Kudos.
This is a fantastic video, makes me want to start another play through. That being said I think there are three children in windhelm: Sophie with the flowers, Grimvar Cruel-Sea (we see him and his mom in front of Aventus Aretino’s house) and Aventus Aretino
I just started found your content about 6 weeks ago, and I've already watched through like 4 years of content. Love these unemployment videos. Love pretty much all videos. Thanks!
Not sure if anyone has said this but. Your knowledge of social economics and they way it breaks down into tangible information. Along with the perfection of your acting. Portraying the satire of how politicians give speeches. Dude you deserve an Oscar.
The slightly different titling scheme had me worried it was going to be a wild and out there video. Glad to see it was the same quality i've begun to get used to. You hover above the line of boring just beautifully. please make another.
I loved the video! I have an idea for you to improve your press conferences: film them on a greenscreen to have the conference held in front of the government building in the city in question for each press release.
For the comprehensive survey of all of Skyrim, I'd also like to see the statistics from the smaller settlements like Ivarstead, Rorikstead, etc. and buildings such as Old Hroldan. I'm not sure if Solstheim is technically part of Skyrim, but regardless I'd love to see its labour statistics as well.
Part of the province of Morrowind, but also part of the game of Skyrim. Would be interesting to see if the Dunmer on Solstheim have better or worse employment statistics than the Nord of Skyrim.
@@HappyBeezerStudios you might have to do a before and after the mines are opened up in solstheim, as before you came along the mines were empty of any ebony ore
I'm frustrated I didn't get this recommended to me! Super excited for this big analysis video! Might comment more later! Thanks for uploading! I wonder where the next survey will be....
Btw, remember the place where they sell scooma? Part of the vampire quest line. I wonder if the food they make there is any good. The vibes are probably not too good
Been subscribed since your first video, and I have to say it’s great to see you getting 6 digit view counts. It’s this kind of goofy, niche yet accessible content that’s keeping an increasingly stale internet alive.

It actually got me interested but I had trouble finding nutritional information on their website, which is my main interest with these drinks.
Appreciate the feedback
I dislike sponsorships in general, but if they have to be done, the way Austin did it is definitely the best.
@@kawadashogo8258And a brand that’s cool with this kind of vibe in their sponsor ad automatically earns a point of respect from me fr
When he said "absolutely, I will take these drinks" he was so real for that

It's been long enough that when you ask the best method for determining the unemployment rate I've actually started saying "a direct survey" out loud, like I'm watching Dora the Explorer or something.
Same, it's part of the fun!
I'm watching this at work rn and I had to hold back saying "Direct survey!" out loud. Smh.
S
Same here 😂
When you run out of skyrim cities you should review unemployment in Morrowind or Oblivion. Would love to see that!
Was about to comment that too! I would love to see that
Austin: "does anyone know the best w..."
Me, having seen his prior videos, feeling extremely smart: DIRECT SURVEY
Me, having seen his prior videos: "CENSU-- I mean, direct survey!"
most morally decent ad I've seen in a bit, good work any austin
Additional idea: Biodiversity survey of the Province of Skyrim
I know people who put commutes on their timesheets. I work at home, but sometimes I include the ten seconds it takes me to walk from the sofa to my desk in my paid time
An hourly remote job? You've piqued my interest, how/what?
@@tylerb6981 probably either creative work, software related IT, or something with management.
@@tylerb6981 Yeah it's contract work writing help content and that kinda stuff for a software company. My dad and brother both work there, and I needed a flexible job after college

So used to hearing sponsorships in such a cookie-cutter way that this was really refreshing, fit into the video well and wasn’t jarring or weird. Great video as always :)
I came home today to find out the Bureau of Labor broke into my house again. I know I haven’t been answering my mail but damn this is the third time this year.
The bit about "potions that help you feel better about your life" at 8:23 really cracked me up for some reason. I almost spat my tea all over my keyboard. Inexplicable, but -- great job!
2:37 To be fair, the guy who is getting complained to about not having tools actually has some lines where he goes to the market in town and begs a shop keeper for more tools, even offering to pay double so his workers and himself (who also works the farm) can have an easier and more productive time
And no, I didn't make this up like my comment on the last Skyrim video, I just saw it myself 2 days ago but had never seen the dialogue at the farm (because why would I go to that farm? only reason I'm there is to swim to the docks)
The farms outside Windhelm are frequent visits for me.
I cant imagine a skyrim playthru where i didnt mass produce all the potions and poisons.
@@Pwnopolis I'm doing a pure mage run right now so that wouldn't help me much, can't poison a fireball and if I get hit I've done something wrong and a potion wouldn't save me (there's no potion of fortify player skill)
@@SomeoneYouDontKnowOfficial but what about a potion that increases your max magicka and health? There aren't any spells for that in Skyrim.
@@HappyBeezerStudios Tl;dr: I don't need to fortify my Magicka or health
I use enchanted gear for fortify Magicka and fortify Magicka Regen and as a mage I just don't get hit, destruction's impact perk stun locks enemies if you're careful and then there's also followers and conjuration to draw aggro away from yourself. If I do get hit I probably won't get one shot so I just pop a close wounds spell really quick before switching back to destruction. With the enchanted gear I have, almost every enemy will stay staggered long enough with fire bolt that I Regen more Magicka than I used so I can spam it until I get low then carefully stun lock them until they die. Fire bolt shoots pretty fast so anything besides other mages are not an issue since you can backup while firing. Some animals like bears are tricky because they're fast and have very short stagger times but you can still shoot fire bolt fast enough to stun lock them. Mages are tricky because wards and/or shock spells so stealth is handy, especially with the illusion perk that makes spells silent, I'll often kill enemies with fire bolt before I'm fully detected. The less enemies the easier it is but the more enemies there are the farther back I'll pull to focus more on summoning and staying out of aggro
16:25 I really appreciate how tuned in you are to the ridiculous practices of 9-5 jobs and provide smart tips on how to navigate that bureaucracy. I also really like your deep thoughts on the art of games. One of my fave youtubers
My favorite part of any press conference is when they ask the reporters to like and subscribe
I do want to say that the Argonians definitely get the short end, they aren't even allowed in the city and live in the argonian assemblage. Which is basically just glorified barracks, and I'm not sure you've been there during this survey.
DIRECT SURVEY!!
E
I think we need shirts that say "Direct Survey" 😂
I shouted out like its Dora
@@jvseventeen or a "Employed Shirt"
kind of mad that for a game this old people still find new things to talk about i love it
They're gonna have to add more settlements to Skyrim. I can not handle this series coming to an end
don't worry, he can do Oblivion next :)
and who knows, by the time he's done all of Morrowind, redguard, daggerfall and Arena ES6 might actually be out 😂
Man I love your videos so much. This is such a neat idea, exploring these older games and using real world logic to compare them, it’s honestly one of the most fun things I’ve watched in ages. Awesome stuff dude.
I'm 25 and live in a major city that requires my dumb ass to do crazy commutes in the morning and I NEVER thought to take that into account when interviewing, thanks for the tip Austin!
I still remember that when families live a certain distance from the school, the school district pays for public transport for the children.
And I've seen enough jobs that include either fuel money, or part payment for a monthly public transport ticket. Or if the job requires moving around a lot, either hotel costs, or otherwise payment for accommodation.
So yes, absolutely take commute into account.
8:09 From one cleaner to another, I wish I could tell this guy "least important" does not mean "unimportant", he does a damn fine job
glad i didn't skip the sponsor excellent timing from the NPC there
I love that the given reason for the ad's call to action is "liking funny little drinks"
I love it when this objectively handsome man uploads!
oh Jabo
he is watching youtube
I just want it to be known that I clicked on this video bc I know for a fact that my favorite NPC in all of Skyrim is employed in Windhelm as a cook and only has 3 lines of dialogue.
EDIT: 0:54 YYYEEAAHHHHHH
This is how we learn Austin is apparently a dark elf.
he's argonian actually, that guy just hates every non-nord
It's like we are all newbies to this job and he is the supervisor, taking us into the field. Just a huge gang of people scribbling down his every word on a notepad, comparing notes with one another.
Everyone asks “What is Windhelms unemployment rate” but never “Why is Windhelms unemployment rate”
Or who is Windhelms unemployed rate
Ludvig Holberg reference?
@@GaunterODimm666 why does it have to be a reference to that specific person? I remember hearing that joke when I was something like 10 years old from a Minecraft RUclipsr.
You're the first person I have ever hit the bell for lol The content is just too interesting
If racism was a job, everyone in windhelm would be employed
So you've met my dad

Everyone in all of Skyrim, probably
@@wokemoralist me too.
@@Pingviinimursu windhelm is the capital city of racism, their main export are new slurs and slavery
Loved the video Austin! I liked how you added an echo to your voice when you were going thru the empty murder house. Your attention to detail is superb!
1:26 i really appreciate this mirrored effect and the 10 minutes of effort you put into pleasing specifically me.
i adore the small details like the text being backwards when they’re walking awayy
omg that old guy almost ratted you out about the juice (edit is it like milky?)
Unemployment report for Vivec City (the surveyor was never seen again).
8:13 i'm so glad that's on camera, this game is wonderful
Absolutely phenomenal ad read. the company shoulda paid you more for such high quality.
at the 3:00 mark the argonions aren't allowed in the city so the sleep on the docks they work at. like the door next to the east empire company is where the lizards sleep.
Can you do a check of the mental health in different cities? Im curious about how many has depression, eating disorders or struggle with substance abuse. And how does this reflect in the employment rate
Seriously, thank you so much for your channel and the hours and hours of hardwork you do. Your work gives me such delight and joy
swapping the title to ask us instead of giving us the answer might just be the perfect hook
I hadn't even registered the flip but that is really clever!
I've been commenting about that on multiple videos he's done. My complaint is that when he put the total in the title I had no reason to continue watching because I got my answer. Very happy to see he's changed that approach.
Those two areas qre unlocked by following the "Blood on the Ice" questline that was initiated with the body in the graveyard and questioning them. Known as the most broken quest in Skyrim.
I've found following the walkthrough on UESP Wiki allows it to never fail.
You missed quite a few (or you just didn't show them):/ There's a prison in the keep, an alchemy shop and a temple of Talos inside of the city, East Empire Company headquarters (which has a very fun questline) and an argonian sleeping quarters with more people (that i believe don't come out) at the docks and a stable outside of the city. Also, there should be a writer and a hireable follower in the inn and a nanny with a child outside of Aretino residence (which has another child inside). Lastly, if you move forward a bit with the Blood on the Ice questline, you can pay Calixto for a tour of the House of curiosities, which should mean he is employed.
Love your work and can't wait for the comprehensive unemployment rate of Skyrim!
Yea I cut some stuff out for flow- I think you’re right that I missed the alchemy shop, which is weird. I did get the stable, the prison, the temple, etc.
@@any_austin Hmm, the video did feel weird with them cut out.
@@any_austin Just for the record, we all love your videos and enjoy them being as long as they can be, so no need to cut things out for flow. :) Your interactions with Skyrim's populace are very entertaining.
@@any_austin yeah, I figured you probably counted the stables and the docks, but it's a shame you cut it out as i really enjoy your interpretation of the places storytelling, and, as has been already commented, i would love for your videos to be as long as they can been, even though I understand that the editing must be really tedious
Can we get a video breaking down which of the cities and holds are the safest? You could do so based of the ratio of guards to civilians, physical defenses such as walls or by geographical location or of course all of these. You could also note through personal interviews the public's perception of the city and its safe or unsafe rumors.
6:28 Definitely did not expect a shoutout for the Cryptozoology Museum. There are a ton of eccentric-museum-house type places in Maine, not just them. The Cryptozoology Museum is just the coolest one.
I appreciate the angle you came at the ad from. Rather than making unsubstantiated claims about all the magical properties of a supplement, you focused on the fact that it's a fun little routine, regardless of if it actually works or not. Kudos.
never clicked faster
Literally same
good to know joob
I'm pretty sure Calixto charges for a tour of his house of curiosities which means he would be employed right?
E
This is a fantastic video, makes me want to start another play through. That being said I think there are three children in windhelm: Sophie with the flowers, Grimvar Cruel-Sea (we see him and his mom in front of Aventus Aretino’s house) and Aventus Aretino
I just started found your content about 6 weeks ago, and I've already watched through like 4 years of content. Love these unemployment videos. Love pretty much all videos. Thanks!
Not sure if anyone has said this but.
Your knowledge of social economics and they way it breaks down into tangible information.
Along with the perfection of your acting.
Portraying the satire of how politicians give speeches.
Dude you deserve an Oscar.
New AnyAustin vid just dropped. Let's gooo
An employment survey on the entirety of Skyrim? That is no small feat. I eagerly anticipate what will likely be a gargantuan video.
bro press E on the boat
he's playing on the switch
@@supabass4003Then he should press A.
The slightly different titling scheme had me worried it was going to be a wild and out there video.
Glad to see it was the same quality i've begun to get used to. You hover above the line of boring just beautifully. please make another.
I loved the video! I have an idea for you to improve your press conferences: film them on a greenscreen to have the conference held in front of the government building in the city in question for each press release.
Dude... what the hell are these videos? Lol. I just stumbled into them this morning and I cant get enough of them.
For the comprehensive survey of all of Skyrim, I'd also like to see the statistics from the smaller settlements like Ivarstead, Rorikstead, etc. and buildings such as Old Hroldan. I'm not sure if Solstheim is technically part of Skyrim, but regardless I'd love to see its labour statistics as well.
Solstheim is part of Morrowind, but yeah it would be fun to see Austin there too.
It used to be part of Skyrim until the High King gave it to Morrowind because of the eruption of Red Mountain.
Part of the province of Morrowind, but also part of the game of Skyrim.
Would be interesting to see if the Dunmer on Solstheim have better or worse employment statistics than the Nord of Skyrim.
@@HappyBeezerStudios you might have to do a before and after the mines are opened up in solstheim, as before you came along the mines were empty of any ebony ore
The sponsership bit was great. You're so real for that
Austin is like a crossbreed between bill wurtz and a therapy Labrador
I'm frustrated I didn't get this recommended to me! Super excited for this big analysis video! Might comment more later! Thanks for uploading!
I wonder where the next survey will be....
Btw, remember the place where they sell scooma? Part of the vampire quest line. I wonder if the food they make there is any good. The vibes are probably not too good
I love these employment rate videos. You should do oblivion and other games. As always, they're great like your music.
Hilarious that you didn't figure out boats don't leave until you sit down, also the house of curiosity is suppose to be open from 9am to 8pm
As someone who frequently works with BLS data, I love these videos lol
i know it's technically part of morrowind and all, but i'd love to see a survey of raven rock!
This is crucial thanks, couldn’t sleep without knowing this.
I think vagrant was the word you were looking for to describe Silda the Unseen
Been subscribed since your first video, and I have to say it’s great to see you getting 6 digit view counts. It’s this kind of goofy, niche yet accessible content that’s keeping an increasingly stale internet alive.
