Canonically every settlement should be considered 10 times bigger in my opinion. A dozen or so places you can enter besides the Jarl's house doesn't give the impression of Skyrim's hold capitals being impressive, although Winterhold kind of gets a pass as it is said to have been bigger before half the city fell into the sea. Can't blame that place for seeming tiny when everyone who didn't fall left if they could afford to. Still Skyrim's villages and hamlets aren't populated enough to be self sustaining settlements and besides Riften and Solitude no hold capital actually feels like it's worthy of the classification. Bethesda had better deliver with ES6 or the studio will die. Probably best if Todd just announces the release date and gives us a trailer, but otherwise keeps his mouth shut.
@@qtfoxeunfortunately, Bethesda doesn't use game design documents and their lead writer is still dogwater, so TES6 won't be good, barring divine intervention. If you actually like the lore and gameplay you should play elder scrolls online
@@Japaneseanimeguy yeah, but skyrim came out in 2010, doesn't really matter how many times you "remake" it the game was built back when tech like that wasn't feasible for practical reasons.
The game will be fine, stop making shit up. The internet loves to exaggerate. Besides this game came out in 2010, its 2024 right now. Tech evolves and gamers don't always know best.
I love that for an opening bit you were rambling to a barkeep, then went "Hey, wanna tag along for funsies?" and then did. Touches like that really bring quality to these videos
Most people would be driven insane by Simons mad ramblings but Orgnar willingly went along, few men have that kinda bravery. Respect! ... Or he just really wanted to get away from Delphine...
Nearly getting eaten by wolves and accosted by bandits after a lengthy trek to all 4 corners of Skyrim was probably a nice holiday away from Delphine for Orgnar
I like to imagine he wasnt even hired to do this, he just atarted showing up to random forts and criticising security and nobody really thought to question his confidence.
My favorite thing about your videos is I feel real cool being one of the only person ever to understand what you’re saying. It’s like a fun secret little club. Our leader is Sven since he understands you the most.
@@maryjones104 well if I though it was unintelligible I wouldn’t be part of the club!! (In all seriousness most the times when I watch his videos I see a bunch of “I have no clue what he’s saying but I’m having fun” kinda comments lol.) So welcome to the club buddy!!
I discovered this absolute gem of a channel little less than a month ago and within that time period I've binge watched every one of your vids and all I can say is your hilarious. keep up the good work.
I'm sure you're aware, but for the benefit of the less experienced: You also don't want to stand directly in front of the horsey, in case he spooks and bolts through your current location, or rears and stamps his Horseshoe of Approval on your forehead. He wouldn't mean anything by it, but he also wouldn't be too bothered about it.
Orgnar has the defeated dead eyed stare of a man who worked for delphine a little too long. There’s no way he didn’t know about that secret room that’s barely hidden and just had to play it off casual
What aboot that Sinmar fella that wanders aboot Whiterun, tellin' folk that the security in Whiterun is shameful? He kens his stuff! Simon for High-King!
My cat died today. I can't sleep cause I keep thinking about him. Swear I can't remember the last time I cried but I lost it when I had to bury him. This got my mind off it for a bit. Thanks.
I had to bury one of my rabbits last year. It's a horrid experience but it does get better with time. It wont be long before the good memories push through the bad ones and you can go back to thinking about them fondly without feeling awful
So glad to see you back. Just binged all your vids after finding you the other day. Loving seeing a boy who is funny enough to be on Burnistoun. Went through pretty much all vids. Loved the fallout frost ones etc with the bears.
Such a good video! You know borgden, err borgness... Borg something, GREAT deputy for border control! Those bandits wouldn't have scaled that wall with him in charge, no sir! XD
Good thing you haven't brought Rufus with you on the safety inspection. Border control is a very dangerous activity. Certainly not for children. What if he just wanted to play, running around and hit an invisible wall? You're a very responsible inspector.
Talos Pass had a noticable lack of Elenwen laying on the other side of the border. Disappointed at the lack of continuity, unless she got looted and her corpse dragged away by the bear.
If you notice there was no gate when I threw Elenwen across the border either. The implication being that I tossed her out of the country and the stormcloaks then erected a border gate to make sure she never came back. Classic Stormcloak banter.
Dude, I blame you because I bought a VR set. I came late to the party, about a decade late in skyrim. I absolutely love the game so far. Been chilling on youtube and found you. Now I#m waiting for my VR set to be delivered later today. Cant wait to get motion sick Update: I got the VR set and struggling with two things. Finding decent mods that works on VR and really bad motion sickness. How do you do this Simon? Respect for your videos man
Those guards that were taken out by the bandits might not have been as shit as we think. One was on the wall, one was on the ground. They were seperated. Might be one was killed from stealth and then the bandits swarmed the other guy. He died fighting an unfair fight. o7
Well, while the video is damn hilarious, I was only able to understand every 11th-12th word spoken. Scottish is not mae native language laddie. Lol, awesome vid brother, it kept me laughing throughout.
How about you inspect & review Skyrim's taverns next? I've always wondered where the best place was to get a pint after a long day's murd- I mean... adventuring.
I never do companions because I always feel responsible when they inevitably die after 5 mins on the road. Started a Xbox 360 vanilla walk through just for the crack and sven is just as nuts as you make him out to be 😂😂 turned round after a fight and he's got a sword in one hand and a staff in the other.
Was Riften actually being attacked by bandits in that moment? Like, a scripted event or something? Simon and Formerly Blue are the RUclipsrs that I've seen a majority of Skyrim through.
13:00 at best a 2v2 but if they aren't being supplied one would have to hunt/forage/fetch water. making it a 2v1. then currently for all we know there are other bandits out on the same errand, so it may have been even worse. but this is bethesda; they didn't think of that.

What about a peek outstide? Captain Fannybones in Bruma? But really, anything is just what I want. Love your videos, it always make me laugh
@@akareon Funny you should mention that. The next Fannybones adventure isn't in Bruma, but it's not in Skyrim either oh my.
"Well they put that sentiment in the bin, didn't they?" That's just the long and short of Skyrim, isn't it? Fantastic way to end the video.

Letting the intrusive thoughts win is the best bit about improv.
Most people would be driven insane by Simons mad ramblings but Orgnar willingly went along, few men have that kinda bravery. Respect!
...
Or he just really wanted to get away from Delphine...
If anything he gained sanity, it's a improvement on his daily life
"Or he just really wanted to get away from Delphine..."
Orgnar: "...Hard not to..."
If anything, it’s a nice vacation for Orgnar
He's got potatoes in his ears, he can't hear it anyways
These Skyrim VR video's are just amazing. These video's have got so much expression just due to the handwaving alone. Never gets old.
Nearly getting eaten by wolves and accosted by bandits after a lengthy trek to all 4 corners of Skyrim was probably a nice holiday away from Delphine for Orgnar
Sitting at the bar listening to Delphine repeatedly berate Orgnar while I'm patiently waiting to record. That man is a saint.
I like to imagine he wasnt even hired to do this, he just atarted showing up to random forts and criticising security and nobody really thought to question his confidence.
The transitions being Simon reading out a tourist guide is bloody brilliant
Add Orgnar to the laughing crew! That teamwork was A+ 😂 you've got a bar on the ship, right?
Many times I watch your videos I magine a random scottish guy standing in his room with a VR mask dragging NPC's across the map.. ahh good times.
Ah, yes. We can trust Simon to make inspections on... anything really. He's very thorough... well... when it comes to pints I think.
This could not have come at a more opportune moment. Thank you Simon!
Breaking news: Scotts man annoys the local of skyrim and does a horrible job at border inspection
I discovered a smuggler infiltration how dare you.
My favorite thing about your videos is I feel real cool being one of the only person ever to understand what you’re saying. It’s like a fun secret little club. Our leader is Sven since he understands you the most.
I don't think a Scottish accent is as unintelligible as you think it is.

Skyrim-Simon is just Captain Fannybones before he died and became a skeleton.
Captain Fannybones wearing his flesh gloves.
I'm impressed Orgnar came along willingly, and didn't need to be dragged by his face.
you would too if you worked for delphine

"don't kill Orgnar! riverwood needs him! he's one of the good ones"
so real

I did not know this. I am now significantly less likely to be murdered by a horse, thank you.
Orgnar has the defeated dead eyed stare of a man who worked for delphine a little too long. There’s no way he didn’t know about that secret room that’s barely hidden and just had to play it off casual
"Don't make me explain what a picture is, just do it."
2:19 this is the golden timing we've come to expect from this channel
man these videos are such a delight, keep them coming
What aboot that Sinmar fella that wanders aboot Whiterun, tellin' folk that the security in Whiterun is shameful? He kens his stuff!
Simon for High-King!
Petting the horse for some reason triggered a hope that we'll actually have interactions with animals in the next elder scrolls game!
Nothing witty to say. No one liners, or running jokes. This just makes me happier than I can put words to. That's all. Just happy
So... we're not going to talk about the person melding with the tree at 4:38?
7:45 I don't know why but 😂
Got your nose 😂
Yeah the guards at the Riften gate heard you were headed toward them 😂
great way to start my morning! couldn't of come at a better time :)
Doing the work that needs to be done
I just found your channel last week and now I'm obsessed
nothing like a good VR Skyrim video from Simon to start 2024
pints on me Simon
🍺
My cat died today. I can't sleep cause I keep thinking about him. Swear I can't remember the last time I cried but I lost it when I had to bury him. This got my mind off it for a bit. Thanks.
Really hope you're doing ok, friend 💔 Sorry for your loss 😔
I had to bury one of my rabbits last year. It's a horrid experience but it does get better with time. It wont be long before the good memories push through the bad ones and you can go back to thinking about them fondly without feeling awful
@TheLaughingSimon Its contrnt like yours that helps people on a bad day, mate, thanks for being so amazing! 🤗
I wouldn't recommended Orgnar's ale, I hear its going bad
Him bringing the barkeeper with him is the best part of this border patrol inspection. Just a weird dynamic that works, lmao.
So glad to see you back. Just binged all your vids after finding you the other day. Loving seeing a boy who is funny enough to be on Burnistoun. Went through pretty much all vids. Loved the fallout frost ones etc with the bears.
How does he not have way more subs. Dude is really fun to watch
This channel was recommended to me less than an hour ago.. my god. I didn't know I needed this
ahhh Iv missed these videos.
when im paid my membership will be renewed aswell.
W Simon as always
You don’t want to know how fast and hard I clicked
When the world needed him most, he's returned! :D
Just found you today, this has been incredibly entertaining while modding oblivion. Thank you
I love your videos. This game is over a decade old but you still find ways to make it interesting. Thanks for the laughs
This might be my favorite video I’ve found in years
He's just a wee guy, your honour
Incidentally, I love your use of game music. I just started playing Grandia for the first time since I was 12 because your videos made me so nostalgic
Grandia 💙
just came back from giving an exam and seeing a simon upload is like 2nd christmas
Good vid today simon
Someone should make an npc that just wanders around spouting snippets of laughing simon episodes
This was a clever idea! Loved the video, as always!
Such a good video! You know borgden, err borgness... Borg something, GREAT deputy for border control! Those bandits wouldn't have scaled that wall with him in charge, no sir! XD

"I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes".
Always love seeing what ever content you bring out hope you and your family including the bunnys had a good Christmas and new year my man
The bunnies had such a good Christmas we have to put them on a wee diet 😅
@@TheLaughingSimon good on them 🤣 glad you all had a good one man all the best and as always looking forward to your next content 💗
Makes my day when i see you upload ❤
Yay more skyrim content!
Good timing.
I hope in a hundred years they'll have a mod that connects all of ES games
It's called Beyond Skyrim and the scope of it is insane.
Something weird about hearing that voice and seeing fleshy hands... XD
It's a great day when you're around

I want a Simon and Mickey D video now, the Irish Scottish cross over we need
I think they need you to voice Sheogorath in future entries to the series.
Loved it the video was great
yo you should use the mantella mod
Orgnar took an arrow to the knee at that gate south of Riften :)
When did you learn to read Gaelic?
Hah, very good.
Hilarious as always. Happy new year to my favourite Scottish nutter.
Simon Simon Simon Simon!
You're the best damn Scotsman Skyrim has ever seen! o7
i’ve never been so early
Same
What if you dragged one of those touchy border guards across Skyrim?
Ohhhhhhh shit yes yes yea yes yes
Looking forward to when Simon plays translated Skyrim, which I'm sure he will. I hope the mod is compatible with VR.
7:44 GOT'EM

then currently for all we know there are other bandits out on the same errand, so it may have been even worse.
but this is bethesda; they didn't think of that.
You can tell Simon is feeling the migrant crisis in his country.
Referring to the dragonborn as a khajiit hm? How'd you know that's what I'm playing as right now?
Love this 😂
I NEED MORE LMFAO!!!!😂
Did I miss something? Why do you have skin?!
🤣💀
😂❤❤
