Agreed, then have a ranking for how long each city supports a single person's survival. I'd wager that Morthal is at the bottom and Solitude is at the top.
Joov does something similar. It's more like, "how much of the skyrim experience can you get without leaving..." This reminded me of his videos alot lol
Your hunger not advancing while in jail makes perfect sense, assuming they're feeding you in prison. Also, in the context of this challenge, them detecting you stealing their food makes perfect sense as well. To me, the idea of not having at least a month's worth of food (for one person) in your home is strange. Mostly because I hate going grocery shopping so I'll typically buy a month's worth of food in one trip and then not go shopping again for a few weeks or so.
@@lucidstateofmind8494 There were still ways of preserving food, it just wasn't as effective as fridges and freezers today. You'd usually store food in a cold cellar, away from sunlight and heat. You would also ferment a lot of food in salt, such as meat and fish, or dry it in the sun to make it last. And then there are cold resistant plants like potatoes.
Lucky for you in this quarantine is that you are the only person that actually needs food. Everyone else is just decorating their houses with it. (or it is a curse since the dragon born is the only one who will starve in this quarantine)
slight correction, you CAN sell stolen items to people in the city but you need the fence perk in the speech tree to do it which is 90 speech so idk if its even worth that grind anyways
As much as I know you've played Skyrim a lot on your channel, there's something about how you talk about things that makes me think you've never played it before. Like the existence of vegetable soup, easily the most practical and often-used food item in Skyrim
my guess is that in perfect conditions (not getting thrown in jail or the guards called on you), you could last around 2 months. whiterun has a lot of food lying around
I cringed watching him steal from the Bannered Mare and House of Clan Battleborn. They are extremely easy to befriend and therefore make all the foodstuff lying around free to take.
I'm going to try this. But I'm not going to wait between meals. I'm going to use the time to level sneak and pickpocket skills. Maybe some alchemy to pass the time, too. If I find a filled soul gem I might even do some enchanting. Not sure there are any in Whiterun, though.
You could use beggars for buff to speech and you can just draft items somewhere before stealing 😅 Also stealing early on could have given you even more gold to buy stuff with, but I don't know if you'd really be able to spend it
Thinking about it. A time skip shouldn't have been needed till the end of the video. All the prep work could be done together to amass as much food as possible. Then you could see how long it lasts at the end. Idk, maybe I'm missing something.
You having it easier when stealing keys it's actually a game mechanic, the lighter the item the easier it's to pickpocket it, also items with less value are easier to pickpocket The keys don't have any weight or value, so they are really easy to pickpocket, lol
I would love to see this expanded but as a whole world thing where good food is rare (make tomatoes and salt rare) and make most npcs hostile due to starvation. To make it better make most cities burning rubbles so supplies are lacking in main cities. I would love to see something like this (no harm if you cant just an idea for you
does weight have anything to with the success for pickpocketing? that might be why they noticed the foods but not the keys! i would love to see you try this in other towns and cities!
Also, when you got arrested, wasn't there Bread and Cheese on the table in your cell? And another, I thought if you got thrown into the slammer, usually, you have ONE lockpick in your Inventory?
To be fair, I think I’d notice a lot more if someone tried to steal a bag of flour from me than I would one key lol
Maybe people should start hiding their valuables inside bags of flour then.
@@FormerlyBlue O:
@@FormerlyBlueis it better not to ask where she hid that flour? 🫥
Well, where precisely was she keeping that key?
@@FormerlyBluesounds like something that wouldn't be good for ending quarantine
“How long do you think I’ll survive?”
*Looks at video length*
“About 15 minutes I’d say” 👍🏼
Imagine being a poor grandma and some orc is trying to steal your flour for the third time
That last guard wasn't having any of your arresting shenanigans. He saw a problem in one hand, and a sword in the other, and he made a choice.
Olava can see the future! You thought you could pickpocket Skyrim’s greatest psychic powers.
"How is it this woman is so hard to pickpocket" - while attempting to pickpocket her while she sees you
I would love to see this be done for every big city in Skyrim

@trainathan don't forget winterhold! They are definitely the bottom

well, the game is set during a time where fridges don't exist, so not having that big of a stockpile of food makes sense
@@TheLeafcuter then how would you survive the winter when nothing grows?

For sleep, if you get the money to fight uthgerd, you can also take her key and use her bed once she agrees to join you.
Olava is a seer of the future but not only is she a seer she is the seer of the dark brotherhood
12:15 - Probably because you get fed in jail.
Drinks 35 bottles of ale "And I'm still hungry" Sir, You're drinking not eating
Aw man I love hit cult classic Russian indie game Pathologic, the game looks so much better than I remember
Olava the Feeble is actually a former member of the Thieves' Guild. Of course she can tell when she's being pickpocketed.
Watching you steal that sweetroll was oddly satisfying
Imagine playing with the sewers mod and being able to escape the lockdown that way.
Or: living in the sewers and making it your home
Do this in Riften next- you could at least start the thieves guild questline and there's lots of fish and salt freely available.
I got a government covid notice under this vid
Man, this is my favorite channel. Every video has been a gem. Keep up the good work and thank you

"How is she the first person who catches us?
I mean, shes a psychic, she probably saw you coming before you were born.
To be fair, I think I'd notice someone removing an entire goat leg from my pocket over a key.
You could have choose to play as argonian or khajiit since they can eat raw food
Absolute madlad of a challenge and execution. Really appreciate the editing of the ever-incresing-speed on the interstitial music.
I feel like white run would still have vegetables because of the farms right outside of whiterun
The title came up as a notification and I thought you were just really confused, year-wise
I'd love to see this challenge done for every main city
I'd love to see this challenge but in other main cities like solitude, windhelm, markarth, etc. every challenge you do like this is a banger
Yeah, I was gonna guess 30 days, tops.
Absolutely love your videos! Much love ❤️
this is a very accurate representation of 2020
Formerly Blue spotted.
Local mad man slain by town guard after rampage
That was undoubtedly the best possible way it could have ended. 😂
I mean getting killed by a sword was probably less stuffering than starving
my guess is around 110 days
Closest guess so far
First skyrim video I've seen with a covid warning underneath it.
Survival Mode just got a whole lot tougher......now I want to play my Space Marine Blood Angel knockoff in Survival Mode....thank you very much.
As much as I know you've played Skyrim a lot on your channel, there's something about how you talk about things that makes me think you've never played it before. Like the existence of vegetable soup, easily the most practical and often-used food item in Skyrim
just chop wood all day and youre good😂
Yeah, but he can only use a merchant once anyways.
Literally 4x more than my initial guess, dang
I predicted 3 weeks and WOW did you pass that! The Bear Grylls of Skyrim.
There are worse things Olava could have done to you tbh, knowing her friend...
we need badly translated Skyrim
my guess is that in perfect conditions (not getting thrown in jail or the guards called on you), you could last around 2 months. whiterun has a lot of food lying around

peak as-intended skyrim
4 months, not bad! I thought it would be over in a week)
Man, I love challenges like this!
I'm going to try this. But I'm not going to wait between meals. I'm going to use the time to level sneak and pickpocket skills. Maybe some alchemy to pass the time, too. If I find a filled soul gem I might even do some enchanting. Not sure there are any in Whiterun, though.
Eine interessante challange. Sollte ich auch mal ausprobieren 😂
You could use beggars for buff to speech and you can just draft items somewhere before stealing 😅
Also stealing early on could have given you even more gold to buy stuff with, but I don't know if you'd really be able to spend it
I wish you success!
Would you ever do a livestream of Skyrim content?
Thinking about it. A time skip shouldn't have been needed till the end of the video. All the prep work could be done together to amass as much food as possible. Then you could see how long it lasts at the end. Idk, maybe I'm missing something.
Carrying capacity lol. And stuff just vanishes sometimes if you store it in unowned containers.
I want to see you do this in the other holds of Skyrim or at least windhelm
You having it easier when stealing keys it's actually a game mechanic, the lighter the item the easier it's to pickpocket it, also items with less value are easier to pickpocket
The keys don't have any weight or value, so they are really easy to pickpocket, lol
If you had the Ring of Namira then you could have survived a little longer by killing and eating the townsfolk
Whiterun under siege would be interresting
Hypochondria 25, coming to an election season near you
Couple weeks maybe? Depends on well you manage that food.
You are an amazing Skyrim player. I wouldn't last a week!
I would love to see this expanded but as a whole world thing where good food is rare (make tomatoes and salt rare) and make most npcs hostile due to starvation.
To make it better make most cities burning rubbles so supplies are lacking in main cities.
I would love to see something like this (no harm if you cant just an idea for you
Dude what mods do you use the graphics and the game play is beautiful
does weight have anything to with the success for pickpocketing? that might be why they noticed the foods but not the keys!
i would love to see you try this in other towns and cities!
wow!
its insane that you could last four months lol
With the food all gone, what will the survivors do?
Well Olava , was she not cannonically ex dark brotherhood assasin, so it make sense she could felt you pickpocket her?
Pls mister formerly blue you should do this challenge also in solitude it would make a great series
Plz do this with all the holds it would be great
Also, when you got arrested, wasn't there Bread and Cheese on the table in your cell? And another, I thought if you got thrown into the slammer, usually, you have ONE lockpick in your Inventory?
Can I ask what mod are you using to make the item pickup notifications happen so smooth and fast?
What ENB are you using?
Yeah but did you stock up on TP?!:)
3 Weeks I think you could last.
Probably 3 months
can you please do Living as a vigilant of stendar
If you took covid death rates and applied them to whiterun, Nazeem would die and that would be it 😂
I really wanna make a farmer skyrim deally
did you go to eorland grey-mane at the skyforge?
Such creativity
Sad you forgot two whole cow with food on them 😢
Unfortunately I tend to stress eat so I don’t think I’d last long.
do other citys, riften for a challeneg and solitude for a long video
nooo sigurd :(((
This was an absolute banger! Can't wait for your next fun idea xD
Does anyone know what skin/face mod Formerly Blue is using?
Where's all the cats, dogs and water fowl?😅
So that's how was the pandemic through the eyes of a toilet paper hoarder
Skyrim mukbang
Did you include a mod that makes food spoil? If so, I didn't notice.
No I did not.
what makes the voices sound like that?
Davon Ferry
What enb you using man dammmmmm
Verdrenna
I like it.
This is EXACTLY what it was like to play Skyrim in 2020. Trust me, I was there!
I hope @Formerly Blue is still alive.. We need more of badly translated Skyrim..
My initial guess was 30. Wow lol
i think you can make it for a month
im screaming about the drunken huntsmen and then he forgot to loot the lockpick off of the corpse in dragons reach 😭
