      24 - most likeky, as one can last that long even without water and sleep. In the long run, it is questionable. I guess it would greatly depend on how clean the natural water reserves are.

      Spent the first 24 hours huddled in the abandoned shack on the Waterfront. But the other guys there are giving me strange looks because they can't understand a word I'm saying. I will either get stabbed in my sleep, or survive as the town crazy. Hey! Maybe I have a better chance in the Shivering Isles! Please do a video on that next, oh and Skyrim too, please 😃

    I imagine there's probably some assumptions you can make about Cyrodiil to separate the canon reality from the games. Food is probably cooked, theres probably a form of sanitation, even if its more like the roman Cloaca Maxima, there's probably state/mercenary funded transport to other cities for a fee, like caravan, carriage, or something, etc.
    Cyrodiil is also probably the size of a medium sized country. I'd say Germany is a good comparison. I think if i could communicate or find a translator (presumably a Breton) i would probably do decent as either a sailor or shopkeep. In real life i know basics of knot tying and canoeing is a hobby of mine so it'd be a small amount of experience with a steep learning curve... but it'd presumably be one of the safest places during the Oblivion Crisis. The biggest thing is where i end up. My goal would probably be to settle down near Lake Rumare or the Gold Coast (preferably Anvil or the Capital, but any of the surrounding towns could also work. I really dislike Leyawiin and Bravil is probably the least safe city in Cyrodiil so I'd probably want to stick away from the Niben bay, but thats a backup option

    1) I'm Italian = I could manage the language. Not easy but possible after some time.
    2) Trades: If you manage the language barrier and can gain people trust, most people would find employment in big cities as many peasant jobs are fairly simple. I personally can cook (I worked in kitchens for years), I can clean and do gardening (same), I can sew, I have a lot of general technical knowledge (I'm an engineer). I also practice HEMA so I have combat training and can decide to join the army or some fighting faction (It may not be the best idea... I can be a trainer though).
    3) Food poisoning and alcohol would be a real concern.
    4) It's baffling that a Roman inspired society doesn't have common bath houses. Even though they're not in the game I assume they would have them.
    5) Over 24 hours of trying to survive, you'll probably have no time to be bored.

    I find your logic commendable, but I'd like to try and break it!
    Survive 24 hours sounds easy enough. Go to the nearest town, clean the streets up (loot junk from barrels and boxes), sell to a general goods shop, go to the inn, eat vegetables, sleep, and win.
    If it's a month, hear me out: magic doesn't exist irl, but it does in the game. Vampirism, while terrible in game I agree, always gives the user 4 spells: night vision, invisibility, charm, and fear. Get Vampirism, become level 1 vampire, acquire magic, and BREAK THE WORLD OPEN!
    Once you learn how to go invisible, you can feed on hotel/inn guests almost risk-free. You can befriend people by charming them, reducing the risk being in cities and towns. The bonus to strength will let you become a formidable opponent at night, letting you kill and loot bandits and highwaymen. Using the money from those sales and feeding recently, one could go to a mage college and further research more magic, even procure the cure to vampirism. And once grasping the knowledge of magic, it's possible that once cured, you could still do magic once cured. (I'm thinking magic is a "flip a switch, you can now do it congrats" thing, since star signs work the same way. You are and atranoch, flip, absorb magic. You are a serpent, flip, you can paralyze on touch)
    Or just get 3 quills, place them in the air, sit on them, and wow, passer bys. Much less interesting but hey a septim is a septim

    Just because I'm not the hero of kvatch doesn't mean I can't use my knowledge of the empire and locations/ways to earn coin etc.
    Step 1: find the nearest mages guild and attempt to say "I don't speak the language" in as many languages as I can until one of the mages understands me or guesses what I mean and finds a spell to help
    Step 2: hope that I can beat the hero of kvatch to the anvil house, if not slowly gather resources until I can afford a house by completing fetch quests or farming ingredients for potions to sell etc.
    Step 3: use my home as a base while I train myself in combat, and magic assuming could learn it once I was in cyrodil, and earning/stealing/finding better gear
    Step 4: play oblivion but ignore the main quest for a couple decades
    Step 5: go see my boy count hassildor and talk him into making me immortal
    Step 6: move over alduin, ES5 is now about a thousand year old vampire necromancer using his undead army to conquer the empire, the thalmor, the tribunal, and everything in between

    The funny thing about the whole “you wouldn’t survive 24 hours in the Middle Ages” thing is that they usually forget that hospitality was considered a near mandatory provision throughout much of that time. A traveler could almost always find a place to sleep and a bite to eat for at least one night. You might have to do some work or something depending on the season and time of day you arrive, but this was a common custom. You could survive 24 hours. Now a few days might be another story. That would really stink if you were around for harvesting season. That was hard work.

      Yeah, especially if you find a church. Hallowed ground means you're relatively safe for a fair while, and there's a high chance of social rejects there so you won't be too badly discriminated against as long as you pull your weight. Hard work is mostly okay if you get fed well enough; but then again, our idea of hard work is fairly relaxing compared to average medieval workday and we eat like kings compared to simple folk.
      I suppose it depends on time and location. But yeah, 24 hours should be manageable barring unfortunate circumstances.

Twohanded weapons and dual wielding are janky, but sword & shield, archery, and magic feel pretty good. Skyrim isn't as massive and deep as the previous two, but the combat controls are night and day better plus the perk system is pretty cool. Smaller size may sound bad, but it's still far too much content for a single playthrough. UI for mouse and keyboard is absolute garbage compared to Morrowind and Oblivion, but it's a small price to pay for overall smoother gameplay.

If you read between the lines theres always gonna be a demand for grunt work, Im sure people need wood chopped and that kinda deal, working in a vineyard for a while wouldnt be a bad deal. Im sure this is a common thing in Cyrodiil, theres no shortage of adventurers either and they have to come from somewhere.

    As someone who lives in Australia, I cracked up laughing at the "Pig Latin" bit. Caught me off guard. xD

    "I can make a sweetroll" That is a literal job in game, and there's a huge gap in the market for bakers! You're set for life! 👌

    I'm an engineer, I play music, I build guitars, I do woodwork and metalwork, I translate between English and Thai. So I think in Cyrodil TES IV time I'll probably try to become a luthier or go to something like bard's college lol

    In my experience you can get by fine just rummaging around crates in the Market District since it does not count as stealing and there is plenty of food and clothes in them (maybe this is the equivalent to dumpster diving though). The Bloated Float also has free food, though I would be careful not to sleep there. Another key tip is that joining the Mages Guild as an Associate does not actually require any magical ability or money, and still allows you to live freely in the guild hall.
