- Skyrim is such a massive game that even after 12 years since its release date it still has a ton of stuff that people don’t realize you can do. Here are 9 cool game mechanics and concepts that some players may have missed out on.

I like how his tip for butterflies is more difficult than just catching them
Yep. You just wait for them to land or at least get down to eye level. I've never had success swinging at them; they're quite easy to catch if you're not trying to get the ones flying high.
It can be, but sometimes the chase has frustrated me so much that I just want to get my vengeance by killing them with a Force Shout. 😆
But continuous spells or AOE spells like fire make it much easier.
just use some spell like Flames easy peazy
I got no issues catching them..but using unrelenting force can get the job done as well..no weapons needed..
For Saadia it's a bug. She's considered a Whiterun citizen so when she despawn she's considered dead and automatically get an urn in the hall of the dead
Yeah I don't see how most Elder Scrolls youtubers don't get this yet
Yeah, right, a bug,,sure, cuz you would never believe that a guy could lie,,, I don’t believe it’s a bug at all, Kematu is just a lying murderer 🤨
@@stormym5434 maybe google this before assuming someone is dead wrong?
@@VladimirDemidovIllusiveMan google isn’t the answer for everything 😋
@@stormym5434 Sure is the answer for this though
"Hitting the butterflies with a weapon makes them much easier to collect"
Proceeds to miss 4 times in a row
Ikr, I have no prob just simply catching them
shout them out of the sky
Plus, hitting them with a weapon first and then collecting them is 2 actions now, not just one. I'd rather just stick with the spam interact key.
Fireball!
I don't understand how swinging at a butterfly is easier than just spamming the interact button
Probably ties in to the cloak spell, the flame cloak will kill then, thus you don’t even need to aim just press the mouse button and bam, instant wings
still gotta pick the wings up tho, don't you?@@madswipe4419
No problem with spamming when using keyboard and mouse lol imagine playing on a controller
@xinlou6707 there is also no problem on a controller lol
@@dunmeroverlord Nor for me. Can't do keyboard and mouse (arthritis, not horrible, but enough to make making quick key moves not in the cards). Patience is the key; wait until it has stopped moving.
Blue butterfly + blue flower = 100% negate magic regen poison. Always (alchemy level doesn't matter).
So wizards would just charge you holding an iron dagger after a few firebolts.
i always made this js to sell it bc at high levels it can be sold for like 100 a piece
"Damage Magicka Regen" always reduces it by 100%, the only variable is how long it lasts. Also, there's possibly a bug because it seems to affect the victim's _base_ Mgicka regen rate instead of simply stacking with other Magicka regen effects.
For comparison, if you play Survival Mode then this applies a -100% Health regen _effect_ by default meaning your Health does not regenerate at all without some "Regenerate Health" effect in play to offset it; contrast with transforming into werewolf form which applies a _base_ Health regeneration rate of zero which not only blocks any natural Health regeneration, it also blocks any "Regenerate Health" effects that you might have had before transforming.
Using the necromage perk and Bloodworm Helm in anniversary together, as a vampire, you can produce self-focused cloak-type spells so strong that a flame cloak will empty a dungeon before you can usually see the enemies.
Bloodworm Helm is a mod. This video about original in-game stuff.
@@ВікторКушнір-й8о Not actually a mod. Everything included in Anniversary was confirmed as being canonized, and it's officially labeled DLC. Effectively, it's Bethesda saying they like the modders so much they semi-hired them as temporary developers.
All that stuff was thoroughly checked and they say it's fully compatible with canon, as well as being sold as an official DLC bundled together, to make it look less like a mod pile and confuse people less.
@@UnswimmingFishYT what I said still applies though.
And then there's the Elsweyr Fondue. If you're a caster, that stuff is just *chef's kiss*.
Doesn't that have drugs though? It has moonsuger.
@@NoahVercetti
For Man, yes. For Khajiit, there isn’t really a detriment to moon sugar, it’s a harmless and culturally significant seasoning.
Distilled Moon Sugar - Skooma - is the bad one.
To be honest, you could argue it’s just the Skyrim equivalent to real life sugar.
a must-have ;) I used it quite often.
Skyrim is a great game
I agree
Yup
Some of the best bits of code ever written. Skyrim is more than just a game.
Very
There is a correct answer and a wrong answer to this you have chosen the correct answer
Anyone who plays in survival mode knows the power of cooking (especially the ability for hot soups to keep you from freezing to death.) I've played around with the cloak spells but I may have to go back and enchant some armor with the Fortify Destruction enchantment. Then throw in a potion as well ...
Remember, of course, the Fortify Destruction _enchantment_ isn't the same as the Fortify Destruction _alchemy effect._ Enchantments reduce Magicka cost, alchemy increases the spell's actual effect.
You can also use offensive shouts such as Unrelenting Force and Fire Breath to kill multiple bugs/fish at a time; much easier than trying to slice each one with your sword.
in 2000 hours I dont think I ever dropped a valuable item in the middle of town.
oh I actually did once early on in my Skyrim life with my first character. I lock picked something in Riften that had valuable stuff in it, but then i got over encumbered, so I dropped the items. Someone around noted that I dropped something, and I think they said something about if i don't take it they will, seemingly unaware it was stolen goods.
@@Frogleeoh I unloaded the cheapest items and I got scolded for littering. But if I dropped armor some honest NPC's asked me if they can keep it.
I keep throwing my trash into the streets of Whiterun. On my latest playthrough the crossing near the entrance (between the smith and the hunter) has about a dozen couldrons, lots of rags, way too many buckets and brooms, and even some empty wine bottles.
Basically all the stuff you might pick up in a dungeon, that aren't worth it, but you're not overencumbered so you keep them for the moment.
Yeah, all of that lands in Whiterun right at the gate, so that everyone knows about the state of the city.
@@Frogleeoh that is also how you can make friends in the game. Drop something, they notice and ask you about it, tell them they can keep it. New friend.
And depending on what it is, there might be more than one person interested and they start fighting over it.
@@HappyBeezerStudios ROFLS
Reverse pickpocketing paralysis potions is so much safer because it doesn't make the target aggressive.
Still, you would risk the 10% chance of getting caught, aren't you?
I use the Dremora Merchant a lot. Good way to get rid of misc loot.
Noticed the A&M profile picture how have you been feeling about your season
@@TheHobo_ Pretty pitiful. I'm shocked we made it to some bowl game. Good Lord, the Regents could have given me $78 million to lose. What a cluster f###.
How does one get it? 😅
@@gaaraofthefunk7163 It is one of the options from one of the Black Books. I think it is actually called the Black Market power. It is an option from the quest Untold Legends in Benkongerike.
Out of my 20+ hours playing Skyrim I still learn stuff new. It truly is a masterpiece of a game.
20 😂😂 rookie numbers bud. You gotta pump those numbers up
I am sure you'll be discovering new stuff even after 200+ 😄
😂😂😂 You just wait! I’m years in, tens of playthroughs and hundreds of hours and I’m still learning new stuff.
I struggle to understand how a game of this volume was created and so many years ago at that!
20 hours ain’t an achievement in Skyrim my dude
I'm 1830 hrs in Skyrim and still finding new stuff.
4:16 but being that an urn it could also easily be a fake to justify her disappearance
I did a new playthrough when I learned fortify alteration potions increase the duration of the slow time shout, running around taking everyone out like Neo, so much fun
Damn I had no idea npcs could interact with dropped items
The black market is incredible for farming dragon bone gear and rare armor. You can call him, check his inventory, wait 24 hours, repeat. It’s a little tedious but you can get really strong armor without grinding smithing.
I just kill butterflies in-game with "Marked for Death".
Deep calming voice, a well edited video, and Skyrim. Yeah you just got a subscriber.
I have over 1000 hours in Skyrim, and some of these things I didn't even know lol. Simply incredible.
Me too, just short of 1900 hours and still learning new things about it feels amazing
Did you know that you can wield a pickaxe as a weapon (or dual wield) and spam hit ore deposits instead pressing 'e' and waiting 5 hours to mine it👍
I don't always have a heavy load, and can't quite make it to town in time, but when I do, I go to the Black Market Pocket Demon.
Back in the Morrowind days I always kept a few bottles o' sujamma to solve that problem
Trying to catch a butterfly should be difficult. I actually like that you have to mash the button or slash at the air to get them.
Quest items and gear are weightless. You can pickpocket any gold/item amount from paralyzed people when they get up. Marked for death increases bash and punch damage. Marksman potions increase all physical damage. You can infinitly sprint with a 3rd person torch if you spam the sprint button as you run out of stamina
Oh man it's been 3 months you know I've been craving skyrim videos
Dude thinks using a sword to kill butterflies will get me playing again
Loathe to depopulate the inns, I prefer to leave Saadia intact and go kill Klamato. I get lots of curved swords, and like Partyslax, it's not for me to judge her past.
Partysnacks*
I turn Saadia in and then kill her. Every single time.
Parthurnax became good and helped defeat the dragons. Saadia betrayed her nation and doesn’t seem to far at all. You can’t compare the two. If she true felt bad she’d be in hammerfell fighting the dominion instead of in Skyrim hiding from the law.
Yea never knew about the dynamic shopping despite 2k hours. guess it just shows you how much you miss by paying more attention to stats than detail. Ill probably learn a lot more misc stuff like this when I do my no fast travel or carriages + no dialogue skip playthrough next year. I might also make it so I can only save whenever I'm in a city or house, but that'll come down to if that's to harsh or not. maybe just no saving while your clearing a location or something. I'm not doing legendary again. it wasn't too or anything but it locked you into using every skill in the game in conjunction in order to do anything that's like a tier above you until your end game, and that's bad for people like me who like to make coherent builds. I would still recommend a legendary playthrough though, as it was still some of the most fun I've had playing the game simply because of how chaotic it was, and yea skyrim+chaos is an amazing combination. And don't get me started on boss fights. Actual perfection.
Why am I typing this again? Oh yea because I'm autistic or something and I'm obsessed with elder scrolls.
Well, if my memory is correct, morrowind actually introduced this mechanic
Haven't stop play Skyrim this whole time but I totally forgot what vanilla Skyrim looked like.
So glad there’s a new Skyrim vid up!❤
After 10 years, I just re-installed it last night. Played for six hours straight. Getting up for work was absolutely no fun!
Playing this for thousands of hours and still learning something new, thanks!
Dragenborn sees butterfly.
Also Dragenborn: "What a pretty butterfly, let me just.. Fus roh dah" 😅
#3 was already in TES3 Morrowind almost decade prior to Skyrim.
And in TES2 Daggerfall before that you actually clicked on the shelves to browse the wares and buy (or try to steal) them, though they were more like containers than loose in-world items.
Some even older games, like Lands of Lore 1 actually had you click on the items in the shop, though one could argue the shops in those game were heavily dressed up menus.
"Could" pickpocket an organ? More like can & will.
(Briarhearts)
For Saadia you could not only argue that it's because of the way the factions in Skyrim are coded (Saadia is in Whiterun Faction = Saadia Burial Urn in Catacombs) but also this:
Let's say the punishment Saadia receives Hammerfell is execution, it would make a lot of sense to send her remains to the last place of where she had been at "home". Which tends to be Whiterun.
I just started playing again... for the 9000th time! :)
I only just noticed the shop item stuff recently, went through their menu then just decided to look around and was surprised that everything was on display somewhere and shop keep even suggested looking around at his wares
Number one overlooked mechanic: The Main Quest
No joke, I was playing this game for ELEVEN YEARS before I finally decided to do the main quest. Why? Because I saw a RUclips video of Alvin talking, And I Had No Idea The Dragon Spoke!
can't believe there are still new things to learn about Skyrim, great video
I love how you can't even sell stolen items to a litteral DEMON without a perk lol
No doubt about it, the Black Market power is excellent. But the realm of Apocrypha is pretty tough for someone at an early level, nevermind whatever difficulty one would face to get that Black Book in the first place. (Can't think of it at the moment.) Hell, just Solstheim itself is frustrating if you're under-leveled. So it may be better to just wait a bit longer to get that set of Daedric armor... Though that is a sweet reward... (I guess one could just lower the difficulty of the game for those instances.)
I don't know why, but the ability to Force-shout and strike bugs out of the air doesn't seem to work on dragonflies in either console versions of the game I've played (PS3, Switch), despite being shown in some videos as working on them specifically. It's like the game can't load in their dead forms, so it just doesn't do it at all.
To be fair, the Alik'r said Saadia would come to no harm on her way back to Hammerfell, hinting that her treachery may be enough to put her to death over once they brought her back to face justice. (I think others have pointed out the urn as being a "glitch" of sorts anyway; even if a character is removed from the settlement they are assigned to permanently rather than killed, the game considers it a death. Apparently, in the case of a Stormcloak victory in the civil war, Ondolemar will, of course, be removed permanently, and one can supposedly find an urn for him in Markarth's Hall of the Dead - though that could also be a remnant of the uninitiated plans for the civil war questline, wherein Galmar himself kills Ondolemar.) Plus, I find it hard to believe Saadia's story of the Alik'r working for the Aldmeri Dominion, given that the Alik'r fought so hard to get the Dominion OUT of Hammerfell after the first version of White-Gold Concordate gave them a crap deal. Though I guess it's possible the Dominion hired some mercenaries to pose as Alik'r, but Saadia makes no mention of such deception, and pretty much confirms them as being Alik'r.
...Ugh... Sometimes the only way to win is by not playing at all.
(Edit: And now that I've learned this for myself, I have to mention it... Supposedly there are some magics that your "traditional" types in Hammerfell look down upon, so the fact that Kematu uses a paralysis spell is pretty suspect... UNLESS it's the game developers making things easier by not having to program in some new animations for other methods, etc. of securing Saadia. I dunno. I'm not even sure if the paralysis spell is of one of the schools that Redguards might look down upon.)
The best way to pickpocket someone is by becoming high king and demanding their belongings.
Another interesting fact: Elemental Fury is bugged, and when you're hungry in survival mode, it boosts your swings to a much higher effect than if you were Satiated.
when skyim was under testing, they had an issue with the intro scene wagon glitching out. It turns out it was a bee or butterfly. Also i never knew the conclusive evidence of a "correct" choice for the Saadia quest
4:55 I accidentally did this in Riften and Mjoll straight up murdered Aerin over a cast iron pot 😂😂
Dremora Merchant is so slept on.
My favorite mechanic is not knowing anything about the game so everything feels like a personal discovery and the game is 10x more fun.
I DON’T NEED ANY MORE REASONS NOOOO-
*New Game started*
Shout unrelenting force drops flying bugs to the ground
I never stopped playing
Ever since spiffing brit showed off the cloak spell and destruction glitch i literally cant play skyrim outside of a mage unless i put mods on and patch out the fortify restoration loop 😂
i think saadia's urn is just so you can take her clothes(and other items), not because she dead
For Number 3, you could do the same in Oblivion. Crazy detail for such an old game when you think about it
Dang, I never knew about Saadia's urn, I mean I don't really care for her sake that much, but dang the Alikir are brutal
6:30, theres a glitch where bhopping while crouched you jump farther and higher as a breton whilst keeping most of your momentum, so speed bhop sneaking is my go to, but im guessing the walkspeed might be faster
During civil war in Whiterun I had a broken destruction potion from the restoration loop and I used my flame cloak to prepare for battle and literally every npc that spawned was obliterated before I even got to see them. It was very anticlimactic actually
Cooking: garlic bread will remove all status effects & only weighs 0.1. Potions are 0.5. Trick is finding butter...
So you can also go third person, crouch, take out a weapon, then put it away and you move full speed
Still playing December 2023
Accuracy while swinging a sword is a lot harder than accuracy while pressing interact. I’ve never had an issue with grabbing a bug out of the air
Wild question but does anyone know the armor mod that the argonian is wearing at 6:30?
Now I need to find out if I can flame shout at the butterflies. Lol
Destruction spells: Buff fire spells. aaaaaand. This also amplifies fire breath shout. Etc. there is a lot of things which can be stich together
Just use the slow time shout to catch bugs at your leisure.
4:28 you never just drop stuff you dump it at your home/s or in places that it wont disappear from to store items you may or may not need later and may or may not use for a cash reserve/s. to build massive amounts of wealth to further your game...faster...or to make your traveling partner/wife just as strong as you are in the game...giving them over the top armors you have no use for once you advance farther in the game...you can also give things to other players/pcs in the game just for fun to see them put the gear on...or it appear on their tables being sold to others/pcs supposedly in the game...
The hell you mean? I ran after butterflies and had to replace my key.
The Alik'r are right. As soon as i side with them the Thalmor will attack me. This happens at any level and only after this quest
Never played the game, started playing a week ago. At first i didnt even knew what to do, now i'm loving it (already did the level 100 pickpocket trick🤓)
May I highly recommend pure race builds.
So each race starts with 1 skill at 25 and 5 skills at 20.
Level only those skills.
Makes replaying the game with each race a fun challenge each time and gets you using skills and perks you probably wouldn't of used/chosen normally.
I had an imperial with blades armour and daedric weapons. Were they the best items? No. Not at all.
Did they suit the character? Absolutely they did.
Was infinitely more fun having characters that had weaknesses built into them.
Few characters have archery as a skill.
So its always up closer and personal against dragons for a lot of characters
vegetable soup effect = the power of whole grains
As far as I know paralysis makes the npc hostile tho so don't overuse
“Butterflies, sooo inconvenient running around spamming the Interact Button. Now you can run around spamming the Attack Button.” Oh yeah, that’s way better and not at all a waste of time in this video.
In order to hit a butterfly out of the sky, you have I get the pointer over it and be able to click it at the same time, if you look at it and click the pickup button at the same time, then you don't have to pick it up afterwards. And not sure how that would be enough to play it again
Saadia has cracking norks .....so i have to side with her
I like putting flowers in peoples pockets
these are some well written and informative videos.
thank you...subbed
number 7 is slightly wrong;
you don't get xp from stealing while paralysis is in effect.
(From what I've experienced)
2:30 guards hint at this if you carry an iron sword
The black market thing shouldn’t be a secret. I’ve literally never even picked the other two options.
SAADIA DOESNT ACTUALLY DIE, ITS A GAME LIMITATION TO "DESPAWN" HER
I thought I knew everything until #4. I may have to go play again 😄
6:19 same with bow even if you doesn't have any perks in it, you can just ready the arrow, it's increasing speed, even if you have like 5000 overweight
Question: Why would Saadias ashes appear in a town she was forcefully escorted away from?
My answer: those aren't her ashes. They were her personal belongings left in her room in the Inn after basically disappearing without a trace.
Playing a mage character it's in your best interests to become familiar with Elswyr Fondue. Best food for a mage in the entire game.
Shout while sneak walking... thank me later
Bioshock is only other game other than SkyRim, I know that has more than one ending depending on what items you use and choose through the game .
Kamatu met his demise by a werewolf 😅 so it all evens out 🎉
For number 2 you can shoot them with arrows/bolts
I'm an airplane mechanic. I often feel like I'm overlooked, too.
It's it weird that I really *like* moving slowly in stealth? No need to answer that question.
you can craft a full set of deadric armor at level 1 aslong as you know where to steal some deadra hearts and then go mine some ebony at shors stone. take the materials and go to winterhold and use the atronach forge to do so by putting in the specific amount of indgriedients to what you want to build. No conjuration grind needed it takes 45 min
You still need a sigil stone though, and the only way to get that without grinding conjuration is via a glitch, AFAIK.
@@talideon 1 hour casting soul trap on a dead crab and you have a maxed conjuration. Not really grinding if it's the easiest skill to max. Not like it's restoration
this dude has such an amazing voice
Yeah I play Skyrim legendary as a khajiit without using any weapons or shouts or magic, so food is actually very useful for any added healing, plus for survival mode, vegetable soup is also the goat for power attack
Wouldn't the argonian be better suited for that?
@@Christina-g4s Khajiit claws make unarmed strikes more powerful than any other race. Argonian is second though.
Did him saying 2018 for RDR2 hit anybody else really hard?
I just Fus the butterflies and pick them up.
Technically saadias urn appears because she’s “left the game world” not because she’s dead it also makes zero sense that the Redguard, much less the alikr are going around doing the thalmors dirty work, where as kamatus story checks out in the lore.
We never stopped, we just took a break
One more thing about the vegetable soup (I’m pretty sure this is true): it stacks
The venison stew does the same and the stack, also the white soup does the same with magica
