I always remembered cooking increasing alchemy for some reason... Wouldn't have that been good? Food actually being as useful as potions and it also working towards your alchemy skill?
Another pet peeve of mine is that you can become leader of any faction, or even save the world, and nobody treats you any different. In oblivion NPCs would call you the hero of kvatch and then there’s the annoying fan. It felt much more immersive that way.
Just that two seconds later, the same guard can mock you about someone having possibly stolen your sweetroll. There's no consistency to it, even with the few dialogue mods I've installed. (unless there's better-newer ones now, huzzah) "Hail Harbinger!"(or whatever) ... "Aww did someone steal your sweetroll?" *Dragonborn singlehandedly kills dragon and takes in its soul* **guards praise* two seconds later... "I've got my eye on you/keep your hands to yourself/some other obscure disrespectfulish or watchful comment" as if they forgot you're The Dragonborn and saved the entire world, Harbinger... and everything else. Maybe if the developers made those stop once you do certain deeds, but they don't. And there aren't that many people in Skyrim, it's not *that* large, so you'd think your crimes and/or your fame would be consistently recognized. Guess not. Rather than it being interesting and possibly giving the guards some kind of personality, it's just annoying as hell that one second they treat you like you know nothing(Jon Snow :p ) and then the next 'The Dragonborn!' Not as if they didn't recognize you at first, but just going through dialogue lines. I hope the next game, this problem/annoyance is not there. Along with many others. :)
To be fair, in Skyrim, most quests and questlines can be summed up as "dude, go to dungeon, kill stuff, come back for your boring reward". Thank God for those few unique, interesting quests
Yeah, but don't think oblivion was any better lol. That stuff was even more copy pasted. Whole caves had even the same layout with different placed objects. That's it.
Ah, that explains alot. But tbh it was better than what daggerfall dared to pull sometimes (recently started playing it. It's a good dungeon crawler). Whole sections of halls literally looked identicl so i had to check the horrible 3d map multiple times just to make sure i wasn't at the same place as before. Very confusing indeed.
Joshwist55 Yeah Bethesda thought it was a good idea to have only one dude to design all the dungeons. Don't blame the guy to repeating a lot and it turned out fine but they couldn't get more then one person to do it.
Braith is listed as a Redguard but she look white as all hell. I know we come in different shades but Bethesda just copy-pasted their Nord children. The Imperial children look no different from the Nord ones either for that matter. It's just fucking dumb.
actually Braith is a confirmed Redguard, but there are so few Redguard children that they didn't bother making a new model. It wouldn't have been hard, but finding child voices for Khajiit and Argonian kids would be.
Cooking is probably one of the most underrated mechanics in the game... Vegetable soup or venison stew gives you relentless power attack ability for 720 seconds (long enough for most of a dungeon) Elswyer Fondue is amazing for mages. Increased magic plus increased regeneration. I agree that most recipes are garbage, but the few standouts really make up for it in a big way
I remember how disappointed I was when I first played Skyrim, picked up a lute... and realized my character couldn't play it. Luckily, there is a mod that allows you to play all of the instruments and become a bard. In fact, it's the very first mod I installed.
Marta Tarasiuk thays me now.Iam so frustated when playing this game cuz 40% of the quests are so glitchy and stupid.Like when i'm battleling miraak he sundendly disepaers wtf.And is just stud there for 15min.
If we are talking about dumb mechanics, how about the fact that you can't pick anything up right side up. It always flips upside down which makes everything really hard to display in your home. And while we are on the subject, why include display cases in homes when the game mechanics will not let you put anything in them? I tried to put a Elixir of Lasting Potency in a display case next to my bed (for unspecified reasons) and every time I go back to my house it's on the floor.
Vandal0111 Some decorations can't even be picked up. There's some jars in my house that my fucking dog knocked over but they're not actually counted as items so now the place is just a mess!
Proto Craft I don't know why but I find that hilarious, I agree its dumb, but imagining your house a mess which you can't do crap about is kinda funny.
The bed actually makes sense. Even if he is a king or emperor, a military leader who personally goes on campaign with his army sometimes has to sleep in not the most luxurious conditions. It's not like the bed was specially made for Tiber Septim either, it's just a bed that was there and he had to sleep somewhere.
"Sure thing, it's yours for a day. Let me show you to your room." proceed to run to the room, sleep for 8 or more hours, wake up. "let me know if there's anything you need"
To add to the everburning candle thing: There are draugr ruins people haven't been in for hundreds, maybe thousands of years, and torches are still lit there.
The draugr maintain it What's really weird is the coins with the septims on it, the ruins were supposedly sealed hundreds of years before the septim bloodline
@@LawandOrderCyraxxVictimsUnit Fair 'nuf. Don't know why they need torches considering they got no eyes, but it's certainly a plausible explanation. And yeah, that is pretty funny.
the thing i found the dumbest in Skyrim and the most lore breaking for me is the siege battles. You want me to believe that solitude the capital of Skyrim that has both the blue palace and Imperial castle that is defended by town guards, the Imperial army and even The Praetorian's the emperors personal guard (depending on your play through) can be taken over by 12 men
The thing I found dumbest in skyrim is that nothing really happens, everyone has requests and every single dungeon has never been booty looted, there's just this one guy who turns up one day and just does everything
Yeah I think that's why they're waiting so long for tes6, they want the technology to be able to provide for a super immersive experience with more than 12 guards, better AI, etc. People say Bethesda just wants money, but if they were really money hungry they'd churn out a TES game every other year with 0 regard for quality.
Or i could just rummage through my inventory and drink 12 of the 50 stamina potions I have on me at all times instead of gathering the meat and salt needed for the stew.
that's why i always play with a needs mod, makes food alot more valuable when you dont deal as much damage if you're starving. also provides a good gold sink for a little while since you become rich WAY too fast.
Honestly. I never bothered making too many potions, gathering the specific ingredients like wheat and a specific type of butterfly seemed too boring. Like I'd make the potion if I had the ingredients but I usually only had enough for like one potion and no way am I going out of my way to get that stuff. Meanwhile food is literally everywhere, and with salt in barrels it's easy to get a stockpile going. Eating 20 apples, 5 cheese wedges, and 3 venison in the middle of a fight isn't the most realistic thing ever, but it's saved my hide quite a few times, considering how easy it is to burn through all your health potions. Plus, cooking makes hunting at least a little more meaningful. Not enough to pressure you into going out of your way to do it, but hunting deer is surprisingly relaxing, and it's good to know I can use that meat to get a relatively decent amount of health. Then again, i've always used the steed stone in any playthrough, so for most players the weight of the food is probably not worth it.
@Danafors • Except Oblivion has interesting quests and the plot doesn't suck as much. And most dungeons are VERY optional. The Witcher is hardly a 'fetch quest' game, and Minecraft does what it's supposed to be doing: being a sandbox game
@@anonymousbloke1 storywise Skyrim is far better than oblivion , people just assume old game must have a better story without even playing the damn game .
@@lightyagami8645 I've played both games countless times and they both happen to have shitty plots, but Oblivion's a tiny teenee bit less retarded. Aaand Oblivion's side quests are much better than the ones in Skyrim
The thing that really bothers me is the whole Great Collapse thing. Winterhold makes a big deal out of what happened to them and how they blame the College for it, and nothing more is done with it. I really wish that, after you become the Arch-Mage the game gave you a quest to investigate what caused it and find the truth once and for all. But nope.
You're talking about the dumbest things in Skyrim and not talking about the fact that the Leader of the Companions, Archmage of the College, Master of the Thieves Guild and top assassin of the Dark Brotherhood is consistently treated as an errand-boy not only by everyone around Skyrim but also by the members of the factions themselves? Or, on a different note, the complete uselessness of the entire set of illusion spells past the first 15 or so levels in the game, where no matter how much of a master of the craft you become you remain unable to even slightly anger or calm 90% of NPCs. Or even how you can become the master of any spellcraft by standing in place casting the same spell over and over again. You make some half-decent points but I think that by no means have you tread upon the truly dumbest things in Skyrim :p
The only reason why I didn't bring that up is because I mentioned it in a previous video I did and didn't want to be too repetitive. But ya, it is pretty dumb.
Yeah that always annoys me with these games, you can be the master of everything and that's always okay! XD" Yes i'm the savior of the world but i'm also a master assassin and i sell lumber on the weekends." I think the best way to play is to decide at the start if you want to be a good character or a bad one, and just stick to those questlines. Otherwise it makes no sense!
honestly what you said about the bard's college applies to almost every other faction in the game. like with the college of winterhold and the companions questlines, they bored the shit out of me because they were both just constant dungeon delving. the guild quests in oblivion were SO much better done and more relevant to the faction. where with skyrim they just used them as an excuse to throw you into more dungeons.
I know. Skyrim in many ways reflects the decline of creativity in society as a whole as we sink deeper into the age of digital instant gratification and away from really caring.
That and the Eye of Magnus in the CoW quest line was a huge letdown, thee Augur of Dunlain implied that through the Staff of Magnus you would be able to use the Eye for something besides a half-assed attempt at a boss gimmick
It always made me so mad that you can’t play instruments. Why would I even own one then? Decoration? It would be cool if you whipped out your flute and people would gather to listen. You could even do it for gold like the other farming jobs.
Joshua Kemmett I use it when I want to get free bed in the inn and sometimes for roleplay reasons. If we have the same bard mod. At least now being part of bard's college makes sense. Before it was just pointless and annoying how guards said "what do you want bard" yet I wasn't even a bard. Also annoying how I'm part of the imperial army, companions, college of winterhold, thieves guild etc but they don't call you a campanion or a soldier but bard is the one they choose of all things. Only in solitude tho. But still I'm the best soldier they have so how about they should show some respect to their betters. They do mention things about the other guilds though. For instance when you join dark brotherhood they suspect you're the infamous assassin but they don't dare to do anything about it nor do they have solid proof.
I loved Skyrim the first time I played it, but after The Witcher 3 and the Dragon Age franchise, I just find Skyrim characters completely devoid of personality and the story feels lifeless.
Man Witcher 3 honestly ruined almost every other game for me especially RPG's, that game had everything , characters, story, quests, side quests that are better than most other games main quests (including skyrim) hell even even witcher contracts had deep stories even though Cd projekt didn't even have to include deep stories at all since they were already fun without needing one.
Yeah.Witcher 3 is my favourite game and when I first finished it I had to play all over again because no game was better than it.All games felt very boring and a waste of my time.It's been a year tho,so I think I'm over that.Or not because I'm still playing it and I'm in my fourth gameplay.
#5 The inn he slept in doesn’t matter, he wasn’t too famous yet. You don’t always get the best room. The burning of King Olaf was the only good part of the Bards College. The training was nice
The Candlehearth Hall candle was probably the most disappointing and lazy thing in this game to me. Because, why point it out and have special dialogue for it but YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING with it? How about Shouting it out and unsealing some Daedric prince by doing so? Plunge the town into chaos by having Rolf 'the essential' accidentally blow it out. So lazy.
Walls being tall are not only historically accurate but also better at, you know, defending yourself. Lookouts would be on towers higher up to spot armies and archers can just shoot over or through arrow slits for example. Whereas if you are just standing there exposed like a lemon, say hello to an arrow to the face (no not the knee).
Would honestly have been smarter to make the taller walls with the narrow windows to look out of. Keeps the person on the wall safe but still able to see approaching enemies. Like in real life.
In the Dark Brotherhood quest line : The courier mentions a 'black hooded person' what sounds like a Speaker but NOPE no Speakers or Silencers. Nothing. That always pissed me off.
Have you even played skyrim? The dark brotherhood in the time of skyrim is in utter ruin and the only sanctuary is the one in Falkreath they've abandoned the five tenants, which means they've most likely gone away from tradition
In regards to cooking, I mean, health potions in general are pointless. Apples are ridiculous. You can easily carry around hundreds of apples and just eat like 50 of them at a time to recover all your health.
I mean ya I use them often enough, but it's not like I would craft them myself or buy them. I find that I always have wayyy too many potions kicking around, and ya, apples and potatoes and stuff. :)
It kills me how much Bethesda was proud of having so many fetch quests. The lowest form of questing in games. Whilst cool things such as being a actual bard are impossible. Despite having a fucking bards college.
It's because of bethesda's shitty outdated engine that they reluctantly stuck with, despite obvious incompetence to achieve current generation standards unfortunately.
Great vid, but may I add in game another dumb thing "You're the new Arch-mage, even though you know nothing about magic" or "You're the new Thieves Guild Master even though you know nothing about stealth, lock or pick pocketing". I know Bethesda had done this as hand holding and for casual gamers; but in game it's dumb!
I always try to get those related skills up so it feels more... immersive; as if I'm actually at least somewhat deserving of the titles. But of course it would be so, so much better if there was more to becoming The Leader. Maybe this next game, if they even make it possible to be the Leader of anything? :D
Ah. I haven't played Morrowind; just Skyrim, ESO, and Oblivion-and I haven't gotten far at all in any guilds in Oblivion yet. I always end up defaulting to Skyrim.
Awesome video!!! The level up system, the fact that the NPCs don't acknowledge the Dragonborn, how Khajiits are not allowed to enter settlements yet the Dragonborn (as a Khajiit) can enter any place, etc... Skyrim is loaded with dumb things. :(
Alex what they should've done is either let the khajiits enter the cities or make your character do some sort of quest to earn it if they are a khajiit
One moment you're complaining about not being able to be a bard because skyrim is supposed to be a game where you can do whatever you want, the next your complaining about the cooking which is just as arbitrary as singing would be. The whole point of the cooking feature is to give players something to do besides adventuring, so it serves the same purpose you think we need bard-ing for.
Yes, but there isn't an entire cooking college full of chefs with quests for you to do. There is a bards college full of bards with quests for you to do. That's the problem with the lack of bard-ing, there is a whole lot of bard-ing going on around us and even an entire buidling dedicated to it, full of people. Yet... nothing for the player.
At least in caves and old forts and stuff they have buckets/areas clearly made to be a place where they relieve themselves... but that is seriously weird that civilized areas would not have these, only bandits and the like. There aren't even chamberpots or something, that I recall.
The forever burning candle is actually kinda genius. It breaks the fourth wall and is a brilliant little joke the devs slipped in :D I dunno how obvious this "joke" actually is, so lemme know
The dumbest thing in Skyrim in my opinion: That every single quest leads into a dungeon. The Bard's College just showcases this perfectly, as it should be anything but dungeons: Learning to play an instrument and sing, earn money playing in public places, later get gigs at inns, etc. But seriously even the old beggar at the corner sends you into a dungeon miles away to retrieve his piss pot that he lost there when he was taking a dump (in a dungeon miles away, I may repeat) and was ambushed by bandits. Totally normal.
There are a lot of mechanics in skyrim that are a complete waste of time, like mining, cooking, etc. But the most useless is chopping firewood. You can spend 15 minutes cutting firewood and only make like 100 gold. Why would I do that when I can do a dark Brotherhood forever or a companions quest and make 500 gold in 10 minutes?
But my point is if I'm playing a video game I don't want just sit and watch my character chop wood for 15 minutes just so I can buy steel armor. In my opinion it seems like a waste of time
I agree that wood cutting sucks, but the more practical purpose of it is to smith arrows. Pretty useful for an archer that doesn't want poverty iron arrows to use with his Daedric bow since Daedric arrows are nearly impossible to come by.
You did cooking wrong. Don't just barbecue a horse leg or whatever, make the COMPLICATED recipes, like the stews. They give you HUGE passive regeneration to health and stamina over a long period of time which basically makes you into an unkillable god. Cooking is tremendously OP.
Thanks for the video! I love your Elder Scrolls videos. You have very good style in your videos, no endless "pls subscribe" rants or introductions. And you speak clearly and you have a nice voice. I hope you will keep doing these videos! :)
A dumb thing is the lazy radiant quests. They just hurl you to a dungeon to kill or collect. Dungeons that are randomized. Making it so that the quests lack structure. It often sends you to a dungeon you had completed previously. Which renders the cleared dungeon icon pointless. Radiant quests are all over Skyrim. I feel they should be a few of them but structured in a good way.
Radiant quests are good money makers for noobs to save up to level up smithing and make good gear, then max out your gear's quality. Or to level up enchantment. I never had to worry about making iron daggers for smithing because I could just buy bars. I never had to use iron arrows for archery because I could just smith my arrows.
I think you just look at cooking in the wrong way. At low lvl cooking is a great help with survivability... When you are just starting potions are expensive and the one you make are either crap or you don't have the right ingredients for them. Besides, there is a stew that gives you 10 health and 10 stamina with just some potatoes and cabbages... If you think of it they are worth basically as much as a low lvl potion that heals for 22-25 healt + a stamina potion for 25
Ya but when your just starting the easiest thing to do is use the leveling mechanic as a heal. Which requires no cooking or potions and refills health, stamina, and magicka to max.
The Cantina well actually I have just started a new game as a stealth assassin/thief at max difficulty... last night I had to kill a bandit boss who had a Warhammer, and since I cannot oneshot him yet I had to take him on in an actual fight. The first time I tried he killed me with a power attack when I was at more than 3/4 health. I was not expecting that ofc, but as you can imagine since i had to stay basically full health the whole fight or die oneshotted (and ofc I took more then just one blow since stealth characters do really bad in this kind of situation) having stews really saved my ass.
"I like the pretty lights." That's a reference to a line from The Crow. A lady says it referring to the lights from fires that her brother's henchmen set throughout the city.
@@Dragonforce973735 No it is not. That’s High King Wulfharth. A.K.A. Ysmir, the Nordic Man-God. To give it some context, imagine if, according to the Ancient Greeks, Leonidas, King of Sparta, on his death became an Olympian. Then, according to the Romans, Julius Caesar became a God when he died. As an outsider looking in, those are the same god like Jupiter and Zeus are the same god, but because they were real people a statue of one is not a statue of the other. Side-note: I am aware neither Leonidas nor Julius Caesar were considered gods. That was just for the sake of the example.
@@JXEditor That statue is of Talos, the man who was a nord born with the name of "Talos Stormcrown" who later changed it to "Tiber Septim" to fit the imperial culture. Now if the statue was a statue of Ysmir, what you're saying will make more sense because there were three Ysmirs; there's Tiber Septim, Wulfharth, Pelinal, and later on the last dragonborn also takes this title. My point is that the statue literally is a shrine of Talos and wulfharth was deemed not worthy by the greybeards when Talos was. Plus wulfharth's soul gets ultimately destroyed by Talos when he needs a soul for the numidium to work. I can see how people would get this confused with the Ysmir part but that isn't Wulfharth.
@@Dragonforce973735 Tiber Septim wasn’t a Nord. He was Breton born to the name Hjalti Earlybeard. He took the name Talos (which means storm-crown) when the Nords called him that because they would have never followed a Breton. They called him stormcrown because when Wulfharth (at this point the undead Underking), who for centuries had wandered the lands under the guise of Talos (because there was always a storm cloud right above him) so not to sully his own legend (if he was identified people would know he was undead), became one of Hjalti’s advisors when it was revealed he was Dragonborn (which Wulfharth was definitely not!) the “storm-crown” now seemed to be following Hjalti. You mentioning “three Ysmir” I think is you combining the title “Pelinal the Third” (which I always interpreted as the third of Saint Alessia’s visions; the first being the Amulet, the second being Morihaus) with the three Shezzarines who wore the mantle of Talos; Wulfharth, Hjalti and Zurin Arctus. All three worked together to conquer Tamriel, all were Shezzarine, all were called Talos at one point and it wasn’t until all three of them were dead that Talos became a god. (Though it was caused by a Dragonbreak and so Talos was made a god at the time after Tibet Septim’s death instead of centuries later when the other two finally died)
While cooking gets pointless pretty fast, it's somewhat useful in the beginning, and few recipes actually are still good in their cost/outcome-ratio even in the later game. But you didn't talk NEARLY long enough about the bards college. By the time I got there I was already underwhelmed by the lack of depth, dialogue choices, an affinity system changed to the drastically worse (I liked the minigame, and didn't find it too challenging), and a lack of actual bartering and the game just barters for one. So I was really interested on what specific skills I could train or enhance by joining the bards college, but I also feared it wouldn't be too much. And then it fell flat on it's face as you described, but for me with the added insult to injury that speech, or anything resembling it, became automated or a dice roll, and wasn't even used in the bard's school. And the festival now being held once a week was also pretty stupid, but again: The short sentences don't do the stupidity of it justice.
Cooking can actually provide effects over time instead of instant effects, i.e. regenerating stamina slightly faster over 5 minutes instead of having to down potions every time you run out
Saw this video and immediately thought: Can't play instruments and can't make spells. Didn't even need to see it to know. Also, I reacted LITERALLY the exact same way to the burning of King Olaf becoming a weekly event.
Sweet more Cantina! I love your rants especially the candle and the bard's college - both had some interesting potential but really fell flat. It also really irked me how the College of Winterhold was handled and how Winterhold was treated - it all seemed so rushed and the whole Great Collapse lore seemed to be more of an excuse for time constraints and laziness.
Ya I got that feeling about winter hold also, especially considering it is supposed to be an epic city and yet there is literally no trace of it ever existing.
The candle is lore connected! The hall was a home to a great warrior that died more than 150 years before the events of the Skyrim game and candle was lit in his memory by his son. The point is that it's still the same candle and the speculation is that it's of daedric origin :) Maybe it doesn't seem of significance, but some of us really appreciate the role-playing part of RPGs and not only the direct usefulness of game mechanics and cooking makes one of them, makes world more immersive! If you want to make it useful, try downloading a "survival mode", where you must eat and sleep to survive :D On Bard college point - I'm totally with you, though I like all the free skill points xD
@@jakistyp7523 You are clearly new to skyrim, or completly oblivious. I once had to talk to this guy at an inn, the bed he was sleeping in was next to the wall, so when he woke up, he went the wrong way, clipped trough the wall and fell into the void below.
it's the same boring shit whole time. its only about cleaning dungeons the same nords etc... no cool quests and attributes were removed. But what i liked in skyrim was the solstheim DLC that was really good DLC
Skyrim doesn't suck that horrible, but it is kind of bad Not hating, it's an awesome game, just that it is kind of full(not all of them are pointless) of pointless mechanics
Hey, without cooking my kids would starve at Lakeview Manor. Manor my derrière, talk about dumb! This dump is a hell hole. It cost me a fortune to build and it took forever. My closest neighbor is a murderous necromancer, sacrificial table included. Up the hill is a shack called Pinewatch with a lot of suspicious activity and shady characters in and out day and night. I came in late the other night to find a giant that killed my livestock, bandits inside the house who were being chased by my kid’s pet mudcrab Fiddler. And the basement overrun with skeevers. Talos give me strength!
Why you don't have more subscribers genuinely amazes me. Your videos have interesting concepts, aren't too short and aren't too long, they have great editing, you're a great speaker, the writing is funny but still gets the point across. I mean really, you deserve more recognition.
Have you considered that the Tiber Septim's bed thing was just a bluff? Local shops always make boasts like that to attract/keep customers. It's possible that Tiber Septim slept on that bed once but the idea that they've used the same bedframe and blankets for hundreds of years is silly.
Cooking isn't useless at all. I dont exactly remember which one it was, but you can make a soup or something, that gives you infinite stamina. You can literally endlessly use your strong attack, because the soup makes your stamina regenerate stupidly fast. There is a good one for mages too, something with magicka regeneration.
That quest for that dude's sword that belonged to his father and was hidden away in a crypt and was so special....just turned out to be a regular old iron sword. Could've just given him mine at the start and said "I got it" he'd never know.
About number 5: if you ever come to northern Germany, go to a trip to Hooge and visit the "Königspesel", literally "King's unheated room". Here is were the king of Denmark (to which it belonged back then) once spent a night, admittedly involuntarily, and it is less comfortable than the one in Old Hrodan. No fire to keep you warm, less space. Okay, the bed arguably was more like an actual bed.
I think they thought of the cooking mechanic before they decided to let you constantly use potions. Food was useful in oblivion because there was a set limit of potions you could consume in a certain time.

@@kosmikme it does that for me too
Or Elsweyr Fondue.
If you’ve downloaded rnd it’s not worthless
Another pet peeve of mine is that you can become leader of any faction, or even save the world, and nobody treats you any different. In oblivion NPCs would call you the hero of kvatch and then there’s the annoying fan. It felt much more immersive that way.
Thewifeswapped You never had a guard come up to you praising you as a companion?
Just that two seconds later, the same guard can mock you about someone having possibly stolen your sweetroll.
There's no consistency to it, even with the few dialogue mods I've installed. (unless there's better-newer ones now, huzzah)
"Hail Harbinger!"(or whatever) ... "Aww did someone steal your sweetroll?"
*Dragonborn singlehandedly kills dragon and takes in its soul* **guards praise*
two seconds later... "I've got my eye on you/keep your hands to yourself/some other obscure disrespectfulish or watchful comment" as if they forgot you're The Dragonborn and saved the entire world, Harbinger... and everything else.
Maybe if the developers made those stop once you do certain deeds, but they don't. And there aren't that many people in Skyrim, it's not *that* large, so you'd think your crimes and/or your fame would be consistently recognized. Guess not.
Rather than it being interesting and possibly giving the guards some kind of personality, it's just annoying as hell that one second they treat you like you know nothing(Jon Snow :p ) and then the next 'The Dragonborn!' Not as if they didn't recognize you at first, but just going through dialogue lines.
I hope the next game, this problem/annoyance is not there. Along with many others. :)
Mods baby
To be honest, guards in oblivion can still call you citizen.
This is skyrim
The bards is a total let down, and you described it perfectly. I want to be a bard, not go through some Nordic ruin!
Austin C all we get is four fetch quests.
I guess you also want to accrue a mountain of debt for a set of useless artistic skills that won't ever make you any real money.
Greg Martin I guess we should be a society of philistines motivated solely by money.
That wouldnt bother me if they actually let me play or sing
Right?! Like, we get to write some passages of ONE book...Like, wow.
To be fair, in Skyrim, most quests and questlines can be summed up as "dude, go to dungeon, kill stuff, come back for your boring reward".
Thank God for those few unique, interesting quests
Xiang TheLX also after the dozen of caves anf dungeons you realize how a lot of them look the same.
Yeah, but don't think oblivion was any better lol. That stuff was even more copy pasted. Whole caves had even the same layout with different placed objects. That's it.
wu1ming9shi gotta give credit only ONE dude did all that shit. I expected Skyrim to do more when they had like 8 or something people doing it.

The fact that there are only human kids in the game, amren and his wife are redguards yet Braith is a nord, wtf? Bethesda is too lazy.
She adopted
Braith is a redguard
Braith is listed as a Redguard but she look white as all hell. I know we come in different shades but Bethesda just copy-pasted their Nord children. The Imperial children look no different from the Nord ones either for that matter. It's just fucking dumb.
actually Braith is a confirmed Redguard, but there are so few Redguard children that they didn't bother making a new model. It wouldn't have been hard, but finding child voices for Khajiit and Argonian kids would be.
@Karl-Heinz Erlenhain Bethesda literally employed 70 voice actors which is alot, but it feels like there are 20.
Cooking is probably one of the most underrated mechanics in the game...
Vegetable soup or venison stew gives you relentless power attack ability for 720 seconds (long enough for most of a dungeon)
Elswyer Fondue is amazing for mages. Increased magic plus increased regeneration.
I agree that most recipes are garbage, but the few standouts really make up for it in a big way
Master Chief yeah I agree cooking has even saved me a few times from dying.
Need to find a mod for better cooking on the Nexus..... I'm sure there's one, I just haven't taken the time to look yet
Quite enjoyed the dumplings as well.
vegetable soup is broken as hell. Don't recommend using it if you want to play fair.
I wish they'd let you make hamburgers and french fries, 😥. I mean you can kill cows and harvest potatoes so why not hamburgers and french fries? 😥
I remember how disappointed I was when I first played Skyrim, picked up a lute... and realized my character couldn't play it. Luckily, there is a mod that allows you to play all of the instruments and become a bard. In fact, it's the very first mod I installed.
Marta Tarasiuk thays me now.Iam so frustated when playing this game cuz 40% of the quests are so glitchy and stupid.Like when i'm battleling miraak he sundendly disepaers wtf.And is just stud there for 15min.
Do you have the Unofficial Patch installed? It may help.
Marta Tarasiuk does it work on the siwtch?
I have no idea, I don't own a Switch.
Skyrim for Switch doesn't have mods.
If we are talking about dumb mechanics, how about the fact that you can't pick anything up right side up. It always flips upside down which makes everything really hard to display in your home. And while we are on the subject, why include display cases in homes when the game mechanics will not let you put anything in them? I tried to put a Elixir of Lasting Potency in a display case next to my bed (for unspecified reasons) and every time I go back to my house it's on the floor.
Vandal0111 Some decorations can't even be picked up. There's some jars in my house that my fucking dog knocked over but they're not actually counted as items so now the place is just a mess!
Proto Craft I don't know why but I find that hilarious, I agree its dumb, but imagining your house a mess which you can't do crap about is kinda funny.
DHGMRZ17 Single Greatest dragonslayer in Tamriel
cannot pick up a toppled masonry jar.
oh and on the topic of display cases, I tried putting sanguine's staff in one and every time it just started floating in the middle of the room!
Proto Craft Yeah the display cases are either broken or just pain to put anything in. It's sad that you have to get a mod just for them to work right.
The bed actually makes sense. Even if he is a king or emperor, a military leader who personally goes on campaign with his army sometimes has to sleep in not the most luxurious conditions. It's not like the bed was specially made for Tiber Septim either, it's just a bed that was there and he had to sleep somewhere.
"Sure thing, it's yours for a day. Let me show you to your room." proceed to run to the room, sleep for 8 or more hours, wake up. "let me know if there's anything you need"
The Tiber Septim room should have been tourist trapish that would have at least been funny.
Bards are dumb but at least they blow.
Sorry for this one.
We need a mod ''Squidward in Skyrim''
Lol
And finger. And tongue.
To add to the everburning candle thing: There are draugr ruins people haven't been in for hundreds, maybe thousands of years, and torches are still lit there.
The draugr maintain it
What's really weird is the coins with the septims on it, the ruins were supposedly sealed hundreds of years before the septim bloodline
@@LawandOrderCyraxxVictimsUnit Fair 'nuf. Don't know why they need torches considering they got no eyes, but it's certainly a plausible explanation.
And yeah, that is pretty funny.
the thing i found the dumbest in Skyrim and the most lore breaking for me is the siege battles. You want me to believe that solitude the capital of Skyrim that has both the blue palace and Imperial castle that is defended by town guards, the Imperial army and even The Praetorian's the emperors personal guard (depending on your play through) can be taken over by 12 men
The game was meant to have multiple siege but the game engine couldnt handle soo you cant judge upon that
The thing I found dumbest in skyrim is that nothing really happens, everyone has requests and every single dungeon has never been booty looted, there's just this one guy who turns up one day and just does everything
@@malibuhiegts right
Yeah I think that's why they're waiting so long for tes6, they want the technology to be able to provide for a super immersive experience with more than 12 guards, better AI, etc. People say Bethesda just wants money, but if they were really money hungry they'd churn out a TES game every other year with 0 regard for quality.
Cooking is not that bad.
1. It's not that useless at start.
2. Immersion and roleplay.
Or i could just rummage through my inventory and drink 12 of the 50 stamina potions I have on me at all times instead of gathering the meat and salt needed for the stew.
@@Brainwave101 you can find more salt in barrels than you can find honeycomb or charred Skeever hide.
@@Brainwave101 What if I just wanna roleplay and pretend to be normal? Makes me feel like I'm playing the sims.
that's why i always play with a needs mod, makes food alot more valuable when you dont deal as much damage if you're starving. also provides a good gold sink for a little while since you become rich WAY too fast.
Honestly. I never bothered making too many potions, gathering the specific ingredients like wheat and a specific type of butterfly seemed too boring. Like I'd make the potion if I had the ingredients but I usually only had enough for like one potion and no way am I going out of my way to get that stuff. Meanwhile food is literally everywhere, and with salt in barrels it's easy to get a stockpile going. Eating 20 apples, 5 cheese wedges, and 3 venison in the middle of a fight isn't the most realistic thing ever, but it's saved my hide quite a few times, considering how easy it is to burn through all your health potions. Plus, cooking makes hunting at least a little more meaningful. Not enough to pressure you into going out of your way to do it, but hunting deer is surprisingly relaxing, and it's good to know I can use that meat to get a relatively decent amount of health.
Then again, i've always used the steed stone in any playthrough, so for most players the weight of the food is probably not worth it.
The Bard's college represents everything thats wrong with Skyrim. The game is just endless fetch quests and dungeon delving.
@Danafors • Except Oblivion has interesting quests and the plot doesn't suck as much. And most dungeons are VERY optional. The Witcher is hardly a 'fetch quest' game, and Minecraft does what it's supposed to be doing: being a sandbox game
@@anonymousbloke1 storywise
Skyrim is far better than oblivion , people just assume old game must have a better story without even playing the damn game .
@@lightyagami8645 I've played both games countless times and they both happen to have shitty plots, but Oblivion's a tiny teenee bit less retarded. Aaand Oblivion's side quests are much better than the ones in Skyrim

@@that_deadeyegamer7920 yes it is mostly that, but overall compared to Skyrim the quests are far more interesting
The thing that really bothers me is the whole Great Collapse thing. Winterhold makes a big deal out of what happened to them and how they blame the College for it, and nothing more is done with it. I really wish that, after you become the Arch-Mage the game gave you a quest to investigate what caused it and find the truth once and for all. But nope.
Well the theory ingame and out is that it was from a tremor from the eruption of the red mountain
@@Crom_Apsotle but it happened like 100 years after the eruption happened didn't it?
"just wanted an excuse to make fun of Tiber Septim's bed"
@me
You're talking about the dumbest things in Skyrim and not talking about the fact that the Leader of the Companions, Archmage of the College, Master of the Thieves Guild and top assassin of the Dark Brotherhood is consistently treated as an errand-boy not only by everyone around Skyrim but also by the members of the factions themselves?
Or, on a different note, the complete uselessness of the entire set of illusion spells past the first 15 or so levels in the game, where no matter how much of a master of the craft you become you remain unable to even slightly anger or calm 90% of NPCs.
Or even how you can become the master of any spellcraft by standing in place casting the same spell over and over again.
You make some half-decent points but I think that by no means have you tread upon the truly dumbest things in Skyrim :p
The only reason why I didn't bring that up is because I mentioned it in a previous video I did and didn't want to be too repetitive. But ya, it is pretty dumb.
Yeah fair enough, perfectly understandable
My love/hate relationship with this game blinds me :p
Yeah at least illusion was useful in oblivion with paralyze
Yeah that always annoys me with these games, you can be the master of everything and that's always okay! XD" Yes i'm the savior of the world but i'm also a master assassin and i sell lumber on the weekends." I think the best way to play is to decide at the start if you want to be a good character or a bad one, and just stick to those questlines. Otherwise it makes no sense!
Dual cast illusion and it’s useful, using it on level 42 master difficulty
Mikael: You better look elsewhere
*Looks for a lady at Elsweyr*
honestly what you said about the bard's college applies to almost every other faction in the game. like with the college of winterhold and the companions questlines, they bored the shit out of me because they were both just constant dungeon delving. the guild quests in oblivion were SO much better done and more relevant to the faction. where with skyrim they just used them as an excuse to throw you into more dungeons.
I know. Skyrim in many ways reflects the decline of creativity in society as a whole as we sink deeper into the age of digital instant gratification and away from really caring.
@Crow "Must have been the wind"
Tick the list-rim
That and the Eye of Magnus in the CoW quest line was a huge letdown, thee Augur of Dunlain implied that through the Staff of Magnus you would be able to use the Eye for something besides a half-assed attempt at a boss gimmick
I feel like a lot of the cut content was so much cooler than what we got
It always made me so mad that you can’t play instruments. Why would I even own one then? Decoration? It would be cool if you whipped out your flute and people would gather to listen. You could even do it for gold like the other farming jobs.
"Cooking is pointless"
Me, pockets filled to the brim with freshly cooked meals: Uhh...
I agree . I have to use the become a bard mod to actually be a bard.
Yeah it is. Watch a short video on it though. Its simple.
It's fun to go win a war and then go play the lute to celebrate
yeah it is pretty cool
Joshua Kemmett I use it when I want to get free bed in the inn and sometimes for roleplay reasons. If we have the same bard mod.
At least now being part of bard's college makes sense.
Before it was just pointless and annoying how guards said "what do you want bard" yet I wasn't even a bard.
Also annoying how I'm part of the imperial army, companions, college of winterhold, thieves guild etc but they don't call you a campanion or a soldier but bard is the one they choose of all things. Only in solitude tho. But still I'm the best soldier they have so how about they should show some respect to their betters.
They do mention things about the other guilds though. For instance when you join dark brotherhood they suspect you're the infamous assassin but they don't dare to do anything about it nor do they have solid proof.

I loved Skyrim the first time I played it, but after The Witcher 3 and the Dragon Age franchise, I just find Skyrim characters completely devoid of personality and the story feels lifeless.
Man Witcher 3 honestly ruined almost every other game for me especially RPG's, that game had everything , characters, story, quests, side quests that are better than most other games main quests (including skyrim) hell even even witcher contracts had deep stories even though Cd projekt didn't even have to include deep stories at all since they were already fun without needing one.
Witcher 3 still has nothing on skyrim
couldnt agree more with the dragon age part
Yeah.Witcher 3 is my favourite game and when I first finished it I had to play all over again because no game was better than it.All games felt very boring and a waste of my time.It's been a year tho,so I think I'm over that.Or not because I'm still playing it and I'm in my fourth gameplay.
After Oblivion the characters feel lifeless and devoid of personality.
#5 The inn he slept in doesn’t matter, he wasn’t too famous yet. You don’t always get the best room. The burning of King Olaf was the only good part of the Bards College. The training was nice
The bards college has training?! In what? Singing?
@@Skelath umm theres only speech skill training
@@gptechnologiesmangalore6909 Singing?
The Candlehearth Hall candle was probably the most disappointing and lazy thing in this game to me. Because, why point it out and have special dialogue for it but YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING with it? How about Shouting it out and unsealing some Daedric prince by doing so? Plunge the town into chaos by having Rolf 'the essential' accidentally blow it out. So lazy.
Its supposed to be a nod to the argonian head corner club in Morrowind
Walls being tall are not only historically accurate but also better at, you know, defending yourself. Lookouts would be on towers higher up to spot armies and archers can just shoot over or through arrow slits for example. Whereas if you are just standing there exposed like a lemon, say hello to an arrow to the face (no not the knee).
The wall wold be short enough at the rampart to look and shoot over at least.
Would honestly have been smarter to make the taller walls with the narrow windows to look out of. Keeps the person on the wall safe but still able to see approaching enemies. Like in real life.
In the Dark Brotherhood quest line : The courier mentions a 'black hooded person' what sounds like a Speaker but NOPE no Speakers or Silencers. Nothing.
That always pissed me off.
Ok? But they wear black hoods.
Radioactive Nightmarez I think the hole point is that the brotherhood has gone to shit and doesn't have the proper system in place anymore
Have you even played skyrim? The dark brotherhood in the time of skyrim is in utter ruin and the only sanctuary is the one in Falkreath they've abandoned the five tenants, which means they've most likely gone away from tradition
What he actually says is creepy fella in a black robe, which is even worse cause all the dark brotherhood shit is red
I just figured he was talking about Festus.
and also the fact that after serana turns into a human, her mother HAS ABSOLUTELY NO REACTION
In regards to cooking, I mean, health potions in general are pointless. Apples are ridiculous. You can easily carry around hundreds of apples and just eat like 50 of them at a time to recover all your health.
I mean ya I use them often enough, but it's not like I would craft them myself or buy them. I find that I always have wayyy too many potions kicking around, and ya, apples and potatoes and stuff. :)
It kills me how much Bethesda was proud of having so many fetch quests. The lowest form of questing in games. Whilst cool things such as being a actual bard are impossible. Despite having a fucking bards college.
I dont get why towns in skyrim need loading screens they are not even that big.
It's because of bethesda's shitty outdated engine that they reluctantly stuck with, despite obvious incompetence to achieve current generation standards unfortunately.

Great vid, but may I add in game another dumb thing "You're the new Arch-mage, even though you know nothing about magic" or "You're the new Thieves Guild Master even though you know nothing about stealth, lock or pick pocketing". I know Bethesda had done this as hand holding and for casual gamers; but in game it's dumb!
I always try to get those related skills up so it feels more... immersive; as if I'm actually at least somewhat deserving of the titles.
But of course it would be so, so much better if there was more to becoming The Leader. Maybe this next game, if they even make it possible to be the Leader of anything? :D
Yeah, but also what I was getting at they should return to Marrowind faction advancement requirements.
Ah. I haven't played Morrowind; just Skyrim, ESO, and Oblivion-and I haven't gotten far at all in any guilds in Oblivion yet. I always end up defaulting to Skyrim.
Oblivion is the same as Skyrim in advancement quailficsions, there are none.
Buggers. :/
The reason they added food in the first place was so you didn't have to make a video on the fact that there was no food for anyone to eat.
Ya but food has been in all of them. The thing that doesn't make sense is they seperated it from alchemy to make a pointless cooking mechanic.
The Cantina true
@@TheCantinaChannel otherwise people would complain that mixing lettuce and potatoes produces a magic potion instead of a soup. Like with Oblivion.
Awesome video!!!
The level up system, the fact that the NPCs don't acknowledge the Dragonborn, how Khajiits are not allowed to enter settlements yet the Dragonborn (as a Khajiit) can enter any place, etc...

Conan wouldn't skyrim be so fun if you couldn't enter any major settlement, wow so fun
You've got the wrong end of the stick, is the reason for a Khajiit Dragonborn ever clarified?
Alex what they should've done is either let the khajiits enter the cities or make your character do some sort of quest to earn it if they are a khajiit
Austin C- Perfect, the exact reply that I was after. :)
They were way more open in Cyrodiil and people actually acknowledged you and your accomplishments lol.
just get that survival mod which makes you need food and sleep
One moment you're complaining about not being able to be a bard because skyrim is supposed to be a game where you can do whatever you want, the next your complaining about the cooking which is just as arbitrary as singing would be. The whole point of the cooking feature is to give players something to do besides adventuring, so it serves the same purpose you think we need bard-ing for.
Yes, but there isn't an entire cooking college full of chefs with quests for you to do. There is a bards college full of bards with quests for you to do. That's the problem with the lack of bard-ing, there is a whole lot of bard-ing going on around us and even an entire buidling dedicated to it, full of people. Yet... nothing for the player.
If the lack of toilets is not touched upon I’ll be livid
Wow. I might’ve subbed but fuck that
At least in caves and old forts and stuff they have buckets/areas clearly made to be a place where they relieve themselves... but that is seriously weird that civilized areas would not have these, only bandits and the like. There aren't even chamberpots or something, that I recall.
Rosehj Game theory had a bit about it check it out
Rosehj But it’s like they have a sewer but no working toilets makes sense huh?
The forever burning candle is actually kinda genius. It breaks the fourth wall and is a brilliant little joke the devs slipped in :D
I dunno how obvious this "joke" actually is, so lemme know
True
The dumbest thing in Skyrim in my opinion: That every single quest leads into a dungeon. The Bard's College just showcases this perfectly, as it should be anything but dungeons: Learning to play an instrument and sing, earn money playing in public places, later get gigs at inns, etc.
But seriously even the old beggar at the corner sends you into a dungeon miles away to retrieve his piss pot that he lost there when he was taking a dump (in a dungeon miles away, I may repeat) and was ambushed by bandits. Totally normal.
Theres a mod where you can actually become a bard
There are a lot of mechanics in skyrim that are a complete waste of time, like mining, cooking, etc. But the most useless is chopping firewood. You can spend 15 minutes cutting firewood and only make like 100 gold. Why would I do that when I can do a dark Brotherhood forever or a companions quest and make 500 gold in 10 minutes?
"You can spend 15 minutes cutting firewood and only make like 100 gold."
Chopping wood for 15 minutes straight gives you about 750 gold.
Firewood allows you to smith lots of useful things though.
But my point is if I'm playing a video game I don't want just sit and watch my character chop wood for 15 minutes just so I can buy steel armor. In my opinion it seems like a waste of time
I agree that wood cutting sucks, but the more practical purpose of it is to smith arrows. Pretty useful for an archer that doesn't want poverty iron arrows to use with his Daedric bow since Daedric arrows are nearly impossible to come by.
and the mining for you to make armor to your liking, you cant always buy your armor. and you can sell it for better prices
You did cooking wrong. Don't just barbecue a horse leg or whatever, make the COMPLICATED recipes, like the stews. They give you HUGE passive regeneration to health and stamina over a long period of time which basically makes you into an unkillable god.
Cooking is tremendously OP.
Thanks for the video! I love your Elder Scrolls videos. You have very good style in your videos, no endless "pls subscribe" rants or introductions. And you speak clearly and you have a nice voice. I hope you will keep doing these videos! :)
Six Fingers gives you a point in speech which is kinda bard-esque, so are some of the magic skills in Skyrim.
Ya it's about as close as you get. But ironically none of the bards have any social skills so I figured it must not be that bard esque anyway.
"Did you see the candle on the fire upstairs?"
No, because I've just walked in for the first time through the frigging front door!
No matter what people say Skyrim will allways be my second favorite RPG right after Witcher 3.
A dumb thing is the lazy radiant quests. They just hurl you to a dungeon to kill or collect. Dungeons that are randomized. Making it so that the quests lack structure. It often sends you to a dungeon you had completed previously. Which renders the cleared dungeon icon pointless. Radiant quests are all over Skyrim. I feel they should be a few of them but structured in a good way.
Radiant quests are good money makers for noobs to save up to level up smithing and make good gear, then max out your gear's quality. Or to level up enchantment. I never had to worry about making iron daggers for smithing because I could just buy bars. I never had to use iron arrows for archery because I could just smith my arrows.
I think you just look at cooking in the wrong way. At low lvl cooking is a great help with survivability... When you are just starting potions are expensive and the one you make are either crap or you don't have the right ingredients for them. Besides, there is a stew that gives you 10 health and 10 stamina with just some potatoes and cabbages... If you think of it they are worth basically as much as a low lvl potion that heals for 22-25 healt + a stamina potion for 25
Ya but when your just starting the easiest thing to do is use the leveling mechanic as a heal. Which requires no cooking or potions and refills health, stamina, and magicka to max.
The Cantina well actually I have just started a new game as a stealth assassin/thief at max difficulty... last night I had to kill a bandit boss who had a Warhammer, and since I cannot oneshot him yet I had to take him on in an actual fight. The first time I tried he killed me with a power attack when I was at more than 3/4 health. I was not expecting that ofc, but as you can imagine since i had to stay basically full health the whole fight or die oneshotted (and ofc I took more then just one blow since stealth characters do really bad in this kind of situation) having stews really saved my ass.
"I like the pretty lights." That's a reference to a line from The Crow. A lady says it referring to the lights from fires that her brother's henchmen set throughout the city.

Fun Fact: That’s not Tiber Septim
Its a statue of talos
Its the same person
@@Dragonforce973735 No it is not. That’s High King Wulfharth. A.K.A. Ysmir, the Nordic Man-God.
To give it some context, imagine if, according to the Ancient Greeks, Leonidas, King of Sparta, on his death became an Olympian. Then, according to the Romans, Julius Caesar became a God when he died. As an outsider looking in, those are the same god like Jupiter and Zeus are the same god, but because they were real people a statue of one is not a statue of the other.
Side-note: I am aware neither Leonidas nor Julius Caesar were considered gods. That was just for the sake of the example.
@@JXEditor That statue is of Talos, the man who was a nord born with the name of "Talos Stormcrown" who later changed it to "Tiber Septim" to fit the imperial culture. Now if the statue was a statue of Ysmir, what you're saying will make more sense because there were three Ysmirs; there's Tiber Septim, Wulfharth, Pelinal, and later on the last dragonborn also takes this title. My point is that the statue literally is a shrine of Talos and wulfharth was deemed not worthy by the greybeards when Talos was. Plus wulfharth's soul gets ultimately destroyed by Talos when he needs a soul for the numidium to work. I can see how people would get this confused with the Ysmir part but that isn't Wulfharth.
@@Dragonforce973735 Tiber Septim wasn’t a Nord. He was Breton born to the name Hjalti Earlybeard. He took the name Talos (which means storm-crown) when the Nords called him that because they would have never followed a Breton. They called him stormcrown because when Wulfharth (at this point the undead Underking), who for centuries had wandered the lands under the guise of Talos (because there was always a storm cloud right above him) so not to sully his own legend (if he was identified people would know he was undead), became one of Hjalti’s advisors when it was revealed he was Dragonborn (which Wulfharth was definitely not!) the “storm-crown” now seemed to be following Hjalti. You mentioning “three Ysmir” I think is you combining the title “Pelinal the Third” (which I always interpreted as the third of Saint Alessia’s visions; the first being the Amulet, the second being Morihaus) with the three Shezzarines who wore the mantle of Talos; Wulfharth, Hjalti and Zurin Arctus. All three worked together to conquer Tamriel, all were Shezzarine, all were called Talos at one point and it wasn’t until all three of them were dead that Talos became a god. (Though it was caused by a Dragonbreak and so Talos was made a god at the time after Tibet Septim’s death instead of centuries later when the other two finally died)

Will you do one of these for Oblivion?
Probably at some point for sure.
While cooking gets pointless pretty fast, it's somewhat useful in the beginning, and few recipes actually are still good in their cost/outcome-ratio even in the later game.
But you didn't talk NEARLY long enough about the bards college. By the time I got there I was already underwhelmed by the lack of depth, dialogue choices, an affinity system changed to the drastically worse (I liked the minigame, and didn't find it too challenging), and a lack of actual bartering and the game just barters for one.
So I was really interested on what specific skills I could train or enhance by joining the bards college, but I also feared it wouldn't be too much.
And then it fell flat on it's face as you described, but for me with the added insult to injury that speech, or anything resembling it, became automated or a dice roll, and wasn't even used in the bard's school. And the festival now being held once a week was also pretty stupid, but again: The short sentences don't do the stupidity of it justice.
"a playstation 2 game look like real life"
"fucking alchemy" just made me love him 1000000 times more
Let me guess someone stole your sweet roll
I can be a master of alchemy , but I can't create any ultimate healing/magicka/stamina potions.
I think cooking was made for role-playing purposes
Cooking can actually provide effects over time instead of instant effects, i.e. regenerating stamina slightly faster over 5 minutes instead of having to down potions every time you run out
Cooking and food eating is not pointless anymore, because of the Survival official Mod... :)
Saw this video and immediately thought: Can't play instruments and can't make spells. Didn't even need to see it to know. Also, I reacted LITERALLY the exact same way to the burning of King Olaf becoming a weekly event.
Sweet more Cantina! I love your rants especially the candle and the bard's college - both had some interesting potential but really fell flat. It also really irked me how the College of Winterhold was handled and how Winterhold was treated - it all seemed so rushed and the whole Great Collapse lore seemed to be more of an excuse for time constraints and laziness.
Ya I got that feeling about winter hold also, especially considering it is supposed to be an epic city and yet there is literally no trace of it ever existing.
The candle is lore connected! The hall was a home to a great warrior that died more than 150 years before the events of the Skyrim game and candle was lit in his memory by his son. The point is that it's still the same candle and the speculation is that it's of daedric origin :) Maybe it doesn't seem of significance, but some of us really appreciate the role-playing part of RPGs and not only the direct usefulness of game mechanics and cooking makes one of them, makes world more immersive! If you want to make it useful, try downloading a "survival mode", where you must eat and sleep to survive :D On Bard college point - I'm totally with you, though I like all the free skill points xD
i agree with you but you forgot one Thing , Skyrim is broken (gltches,bugs,etc)
Ya I still tons of bugs all the time. A couple even made it into the video.

Mercenaries: Huh? Where's he? Hm....must be gone. *staring right at me*
Cooking is op!
Eat a stew - and go infinite with your hyper stamina regen and shield stun!
F@*&ing kill everything.
Good video like usual :)
"Cough" become a bard mod... "Cough"

yyy 宇宙のマ swaggherska krawa rotuj mrdak I played oblivion and morrowind, I just don't understand why he hates Skyrim so much
it's the same boring shit whole time. its only about cleaning dungeons the same nords etc... no cool quests and attributes were removed. But what i liked in skyrim was the solstheim DLC that was really good DLC
yyy 宇宙のマ swaggherska krawa rotuj mrdak 100% true
Skyrim doesn't suck that horrible, but it is kind of bad
Not hating, it's an awesome game, just that it is kind of full(not all of them are pointless) of pointless mechanics
Hey, without cooking my kids would starve at Lakeview Manor. Manor my derrière, talk about dumb!
This dump is a hell hole. It cost me a fortune to build and it took forever. My closest neighbor is a murderous necromancer, sacrificial table included. Up the hill is a shack called Pinewatch with a lot of suspicious activity and shady characters in and out day and night. I came in late the other night to find a giant that killed my livestock, bandits inside the house who were being chased by my kid’s pet mudcrab Fiddler. And the basement overrun with skeevers.
Talos give me strength!
Oblivion has way more stupid stuff...
Paddy O'Prey XD
Yeah but oblivion's stupid stuff is funny while skyrim's stupid stuff is just annoying
Also Oblivion has more unique quests and the world feels alive more
Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence.
do you expect me to take someone with "deep state war on trump" in a playlist seriously?
i feel like cooking is more or less for roleplay purposes than anything else.

i guess tiger septic was one of those high class citizens who didnt want to be treated any differently from the common rabble when in skyrim
But ye Skyrim is a really dumb game
Andrewf5251 what the hell kind of insult is that how old are you.
This video is so funny for the fact I also wondered about the same topics as you do. Great job to put em into a video.
1 word for the cooking
ROLE PLAY
Why you don't have more subscribers genuinely amazes me. Your videos have interesting concepts, aren't too short and aren't too long, they have great editing, you're a great speaker, the writing is funny but still gets the point across. I mean really, you deserve more recognition.
Have you considered that the Tiber Septim's bed thing was just a bluff? Local shops always make boasts like that to attract/keep customers. It's possible that Tiber Septim slept on that bed once but the idea that they've used the same bedframe and blankets for hundreds of years is silly.
Candlehearth hall having a single mysteriously burning candle is evidence that draugr light every candle in their barrows moments before you arrive.
Cooking isn't useless at all. I dont exactly remember which one it was, but you can make a soup or something, that gives you infinite stamina. You can literally endlessly use your strong attack, because the soup makes your stamina regenerate stupidly fast. There is a good one for mages too, something with magicka regeneration.
Fun fact: You can just whack ore veins with pickaxes to mine them!
That quest for that dude's sword that belonged to his father and was hidden away in a crypt and was so special....just turned out to be a regular old iron sword. Could've just given him mine at the start and said "I got it" he'd never know.
I don't know why the burning of King Olaf being a weekly Google calendar event got me, but it did 🤣
It's weird but i was cooking and it leveled up my alchemy
Is it weird if I had a dream about being a Colovian Imperial who had a Kajiit wife that sold jewelry and we raised a family?
Humans and khajiit can't mate
There are werewolves, vampires, giants, magick, orcs but the craziest thing they've seen was a flying dragon.
About number 5: if you ever come to northern Germany, go to a trip to Hooge and visit the "Königspesel", literally "King's unheated room". Here is were the king of Denmark (to which it belonged back then) once spent a night, admittedly involuntarily, and it is less comfortable than the one in Old Hrodan. No fire to keep you warm, less space. Okay, the bed arguably was more like an actual bed.
Clearly this man has never heard of vegetable stew
It's amazing how much your channels grown since August
Even if the ghost didn't show up, the Tiber Septim thing sounds exactly like the sort of scam that a real hotel would pull XD
I think they thought of the cooking mechanic before they decided to let you constantly use potions. Food was useful in oblivion because there was a set limit of potions you could consume in a certain time.
