    I think a great addition to this playthrough would be the Skyrim Unleveled Mod. It makes it so that the world doesn't level up with your character, and instead enemies are fixed at a certain level. It makes it feel that you are a part of the world, instead of the world revolving around you

    The farm is critical for survival mode. Maybe you can use a mod to make tomato plants growable, and you could grow tomato, potato, leek and cabbage for vegetable soup.
    Also for potions, scaly pholita, creep cluster and blisterwort makes for a powerful fortify illusion/carry potion.
    All 3 ingredients are growable and really help with leveling.
    Combine that with a rich merchant mod and you get some serious ca$h

    Trying to live a "normal life" in Skyrim? You can try. But as everyone finds out, there's no such thing as "normal" in a world like this.
    The call for heroism is strong in Tamriel. The random encounters, bandits, giants, dragons... they aren't going to just leave you alone.

    For the next in-game months, i would encounter them every turn i take, every corner, every town...they're determined.

    I'm so glad they added survival mode to the base game and made it free too. I played with a survival mod on all the time but it was buggy because.. it was a mod. The mod I used was also a bit too punishing. I always chose not to use fast travel other than carriages and boats too, so them adding no fast travel as part of survival mode is awesome.
    My favorite part of survival mode, though, is just the flavor text explaining how you feel. Walking into a building and seeing "the air here is warm and you now feel comfortable" is so cozy

    Awesome video! I really liked it! But, I cant deny that I feel like in the moment you started the Lighthouse quest you pretty much stopped living a "normal life" and just started playing regular skyrim lol. Even went down the sneaky archer build.
    Regular common folk live in one city...and stay there...sometimes their whole lifes.
    Without ever having the need to raise a sword or even owning a full plate armor. They dont "take quests"
    I would love for you to revisit this challenge and do just that. Live a normal life in one of the holds. Buy food. Pay for the inn. Work on the mine, cut wood, farm and repeat for lets say 30 days in game time to see what happens. The challenge would be to see if there will be enough food to buy/eat? What happens if the hold is attacked by a dragon or vampires? Etc.
    Keep it up!!

    I started a survival mode playthrough a while back as a Nord, a former legion soldier who was born in Skyrim, who lived for a long time in Cyrodiil, and then returned to Skyrim. I played basically as a regular dude who was just taking jobs that people would pay for. Eventually my guy finds out he is DB of course, and it leads to adventures. But the "regular guy" roleplay can be pretty fun. I made bookoo money chopping wood in Riverwood.

    Playing Skyrim as a non-dragonborn bard with some survival mods was one of my most favorite gaming experiences. Had a mod that turned off character names until you met them which made things pretty immersive too. Didn't care about the main story at all, just spent a lot of time doing side quests for people on my little journey that ultimately ended 50 hours in with a nice home and an adopted daughter I found in the thieves guild after I killed everyone there.
    There's something quite nice about playing as someone who isn't "Le chosen one" again. Not starting with a massive intro but instead just in a tavern. A lowly adventurer.

    Can I live like a normal person in Skyrim?

    -Steals a bunch of stuff.
    -Goes on quests, fights a person with a sword and forges a letter.
    You have a slightly different view of the normal person's life than me, my friend.
    Seriously though, I think the concept for this video was interesting but I think you probably should've put a few more limitations on yourself. As it is, it really kind of feels more like just a video on "Can I play Skyrim on survival mode?" you know?

      You know, the Usual, 3 Manisons run by a Personal Huscarl producing Alchemy Goods and some Weekend Homes in the other Cities.
      Always look at Alchemists and Vendors for Canisroot and Imp Stool mainly - makes Paralyzing Poisons allowing you to make a fine $$$ or have a very easy Win in a Fight.
      Health Pots grant no real Yield in Money selling them not in usage compared to a poisoned Bow.
      Paralyzing Poison sells for Way more - about 20 Times. And that Boost does apply to the gain in Alchemy Skill as well as Value determins the Gain.
      That same applys to Smithing as well - Helmets are overall the easiest when also boosting Enchantments weightwise, but Torso Armor is the best as you should Upgrade them as well - that is where the real Gain comes From in Terms of Skillprogress - as the Destruction Boost is pretty easy to obtain and yields good results.

    Harvesting and selling vegetables to farmers raises their disposition towards you. In the game files they go from neutral to friendly and then allow you to take some stuff from their home. When you see the blacksmith of Riverwood, if you followed Hadvar, you'll be able to take stuff from his house after he sends you to Whiterun. You can take gauntlets and boots and a dagger I believe on the table, the 10 ingots next to the workbench and stuff from his house. I always just take everything I can from him so I can craft some armour or something. It gets you a nice headstart.

      Thank you! I’d recommend trying it, the game never gets boring

    Not even normal people are immune from questing in Skyrim. It sure is a rough place to live

      I tried to avoid as many fights as I could, but you always get attacked haha

    Turning Skyrim into peasant difficulty will definitely be my next save file. This motivates me to perma death and prevent saving outside Inn or Home.

      These challenges are a lot of fun, quite nice just living a quieter life as well

    Good stuff there, nice video - would love to see You expand on the normal guy living in Skyrim idea, its a winner

      I’ve got some ideas on this, maybe restricting myself to specific roles like just loot from fishing or mining. Will just need to test if there’s stories I can get from that, it’s definitely on the radar though! Thanks for watching as well, glad you enjoyed 😃

      Nice, cheers for the vids 👍
      Think of the kinds of people You could make, a bit of backstory and idiosyncracies for the characters would go a long way. Looking forward to the next one cheers pal

    This video taught me you can sprint in Skyrim, I'm playing now, at level 20 and have practically jogged/walked the whole map! Wondered how you were moving so quick.

      Glad I taught you something new! I’ve been learning a lot I didn’t know playing through recently

      I did the same thing when I started. The first time I accidentally sprinted blew my mind and I was about the same level as you
