it would help if you did not give her an inaccurate bloody game controller , how cruel , mouse and kb ppl. Yeah talk about elitist offers , no accessibility for people who wear reading glasses , whats the point of making a product that half the population cannot wear and at over £500 for a sodding projector when you can get one on the ceiling for less , also given that virture lack the massive cooling fans needed for actual projections , my guess is that they project very close , so fine resolution has got to be a question and the lack of hdmi support , should mean that these are working like an independent display ,
It’s really relatable as someone who wasn’t able to play games growing up. Gamer instincts are hard, when I finally got some I would get stuck early on and have no idea how to progress xD
Lol and the stealing was so funny. It's overrated anyway. Its really hard to resell -i just use it for extra leveling 😂. I think putting pickpocket items back also increases your level!
After a couple Bethesda Games it was a breath of fresh air to play the Witcher without eternal loading screens and knocking everything around making it NEVER look the same afterwards.
@beatrisnatalina3233 Now. And depends on the console/pc running the game. Some of us are lucky to play at all and have to put up with the inconvenience of inadequate hardware.
It's always those two, I don't know why. I'll tell myself on my next playthrough, I'm adopting different kids. And yet still end up with Sofia and Lucia.
It happend to me too. So I felt bad, loaded the last safe and installed my first mod ever. I forgott ist the name, but horsis coulden't die no more. 🐎❤
@snazzydrew they despawn when told to wait... had the same happen with Aela, but player.moveto (ID of follower) teleports you to them. Very useful command
Pretty much what my wife did. She saw that a kid could be adopted and immediately needed to know how to get a house so she could do it. I helped her get Breezehome and she spent most of her remaining playtime finding children to adopt and deciding which ones to. Also constantly just sat in the house interacting with them instead of actually doing anything 😅
@Th3Jez ohhh so that's why you always whisper! That's even kinda better to hear than the constant screaming most gameplays have. It somehow makes everything funnier
@Th3Jez So I don't mean to backseat parent but I heard the best way to get around that is to just be loud. Babies can learn to be heavy sleepers but you gotta train it.
10 such days of work: Slay a dragon Kill entire camp of bandits single-handedly Find ancient, forgotten religious artifact Blackmail minority Idk man, it checks out to me
Oh no, she instantly contracted white arrow fever, a horrible disease in the lands of skyrim that causes adventurers to tunnel vision on a "white arrow" that they say "guides" them
I mean, I've been playing Morrowind recently, and ya know what? People who hate on quest markers have nostalgia googles on tight enough to cut off bloodflow. "Hello Random lady I rescued from a daedric shrine." "Hello Neravarine, would you please escort me to my husband?" "Certainly, where is he?" "I dunno, fuckin'... east?" "Hello Neravarine, a witch enchanted and robbed me. Would you please help me get my things back?" "Sure, Nord with no clothes on. Where is this witch?" "Northwest. Probably? I was disoriented by the enchantment, you see." The best part is when the game gives you wrong or misleading information, like that time the citizens of Vos told me to ask the local farmers about the bandit I was on the hunt for, when what they MEANT was to ask the local clan of Ashlanders.
@ilovethelegend I dont hate quest markers, i hate the effect they can have on people that leads to just walking in a straight line rather than taking better paths that lead to more interesting interactions and discovery.
I'm convinced that if she managed to meet Aventus, she would be a member of the Dark Brotherhood in a matter of minutes. She'd get into modding so that she could adopt him and every other child from the orphanage.
@LoneWolf3571 thats literally what happened to my mom, I had her play skyrim after she got super into animal crossing, now she plays all kinds of RPGs and is currently working through Expedition 33
@dangomiller Also, Same. I distinctly remember standing at the door, checking the walls, the ceiling, the floor, the joints in the ceiling. Going back to previous rooms to look for clues on the walls, the urns, the ceilings the floors...
When I first played Skyrim as a kid, I solved the door puzzle by assuming the different animals were meant to represent what the ancient culture valued most in order of importance. The owl represented wisdom, the moth was freedom or something, and the bear was strength. Which sort of makes sense for nord culture if you go from top to bottom. But I didn't know shit about nord culture at the time, so I guessed the opposite order, but I also assumed the center was first and went outward. And somehow it worked. Now as an adult I just do each ring twice and it works for several of the claw doors.
I'm a woman who likes a lot of games (mainly drawn to management sims, God sims, and RTS) who was addicted to playing Skyrim, I played it "properly". I have a friend who only really played Skyrim exclusively, and had racked up over a thousand hours in vanilla skyrim. The main things she did was hang in her house, ride the horse around, fished, and collected herbs to brew potions. It was so wholesome. I recommended Animal Crossing to her and she tried it but it never hit the same for her as "Skyrim Crossing".
I never finished the game, I spent hours collecting books, or carefully put treasure in my chests etc so I understand 😂 I think they should have implemented a sort of "diplomatic" way of playing the game, combat is fun but what if I want to be a noble throwing mundane parties, taking care of my domain and influence the politics of the kingdom ? A Skyrim's kind of game where I could play an diplomat sorcerer would be so cool
I can totally feel where she's coming from, because honestly the most intensely emotional experience I had when playing Skyrim was after doing a minor quest for a woman called Grosta who runs a mill in the Rift. Her husband is missing and she believes he's shacked up with another woman in Morrowind, but it turns out that he was caught by bandits on the way and killed. When you bring the news back to her, she cries that she thought he was unfaithful all this while. But she also talks about how she's probably going to lose the mill soon without him. So whenever I was in the Rift after that, I dropped in to check on her, and "accidentally" drop a bag of gold or two around her house before leaving. Then, during one visit, vampires and dawnguard started fighting while she was in the mill. She was killed in the fighting, and I was so heartbroken. I rushed to her son Gralnach, and to my surprise he had a dialogue where he said "My mother is dead, what will I do now?" and then I had the option to adopt him. I immediately did so, of course, and spent the rest of the game looking after and pampering him. The thing was, it wasn't where I was planning to go with the game at all, as my character had been designed as a big gruff lesbian orc barbarian, but it just felt so right for her to have a soft spot for this poor woman and the child she left behind.
The funny thing is, if you would've found the man first, you would never be able to tell her since it's glitched and she will be forever lost in thinking he was cheating and you would have a never dissapearing quest 😬
A brutish orc adopting an orphan definitely fits the character. Your dragonborn will turn the kid into a killing machine so the harsh lands of Skyrim won't hurt him or his loved ones again. Also may I ask who is the lucky girl that you married your character to?
@13:34 I'm sorry sir but the term "unscalable mountain" doesnt exist in Bethesda's dictionary. If you find one that's unscalable, you're just approaching it from the wrong angle, again I'm sorry, its bethesda's rules, not mine.
It's such a staple that I literally call it "Skyrimming" when I find out I can do that in other games. "Oh, I can just Skyrim up this hill. Gimme a minute, aaand there we go. Screw you ROADS."
@Luinta even when i was doing it in Rust 10 years ago we called it Skyrimming the mountain, it's been around that long. Shame she never got to see the mountain climbing magnet ability the horse has.
There’s definitely a spot where two pixels touch in such a way that you can stand on one of them if you come at it perpendicular. Just gotta get there.
This is a fascinating case study in how a game that the gamurz (trademark) often find to be a little too hand-holdy is still perplexing to someone who just doesn't have knowledge of basic video game tropes and mechanics burned into their cerebral cortex from decades of effort.
"Why is this *[Games intended for casual adults & the young]* so hand-holdy? I don't get it." and *"- [Games with complexity too big to explain & multiplayer too dynamic to teach]* have no good tutorial? I don't get it."
Uhh it doesn't take decades to figure out how to follow a gray quest marker and use common sense. We went from Morrowind which actually had no marker and gave you only directions to your quest objectives to a gray marker. As well as less mechanics at the expense of other features (can't make spells in skyrim but can now dual wield).
@TheGodyouneverknewthe point is a lot of people didn't play Skyrim. So to people who played Morrowind? Sure this game is easy To people who have maybe never picked up an RPG? They need to learn the basics first.
Actually having to look at the claw in your inventory was SUCH a cool thing back when I first played this, even though it only makes sense in a video game. I mean, why have a locked door that needs a key AND a password if you just put the password ON the key? Anyway, becoming a homeowner and a parent, the true success story of John "Vlad" Skyrim.
Lore reason. It's to trap the draugr inside, not keep you (or others) out - clueless as most skyrim NPCs seem to be for some reason.. The draugr are basically people with extremely advanced dementia, and lack the mind to solve even simple puzzles with the solution literally spelled out.
I used so many combinations until it worked, looking youtube videos make me feel like shit, like I'm the worst loser and I failed, so I never check for guides or YT videos
Same for me. But I actually solved the puzzle by clipping through the door with a strong hit with a two-handed sword equipped! Yeh, that's how we do it!
Since I got into Skyrim after watching hours of RUclips videos, I didn't have trouble with that. But I watched my step dad play the game for the first time and he didn't want ANY help so I watched him stare at the wall for a WHILE 😂
30:18 "Without even turning around aura-farms them for 7 straight hours. Naturally that enrages soy cultists". Holy smokes the combination of words to make this sentence was highly unexpected and thus incredibly funny. 10/10 cinema experience.
28:59. I'm that NPC and good job with the pronunciation. You can't even guess how many times in my life people have pronounced the L after the first vowel, for reasons I can never understand. I gave one of my friends that was starting Skyrim a non spoilerish indication that he would meet me in the game (he was puzzled at this) and a some days later he called me up just to say he was laughing his ass off for the last thirty minutes after encountering me.
Bit late now. But for everyone else, you can totally walk all the way to town with Hadvar or Ralof and they do have some dialogue all the all the way to Riverwood.
what's great is they serve as a small tutorial for the trip to Riverwood. Hey you can get blessings from these stones, loot these 3 wolves and you might find gold. Go talk to this lady and she'll give you free items if you tell her I sent ya. Kinda forces you to explore and if you stop by the Riverwood Trader you can choose to do Bleak Falls Barrow for Lucan before ever entering Whiterun which saves a decent amount of backtracking for the Dragonstone.
I never understood why that "It's best if we split up" dialogue is even there, when clearly the way the game is meant to be played is if you follow him to Riverwood. It confused the hell out of me the first time I played as well.
What will happen when she finds out that you can only adopt two children? for me it was like... i am the dragonborn! i have 5 mansions, a plantation, 3 terrains in construction, and all the gold of Tamriel, and just adopt two children when a want like.... everyone of them~!?
Eight base game properties, one in each non-Winterhold region, each able to hold two children, and yet I'm forced to identify one as the "primary" home with everyone in it. You'd think I could get two kids in each home, but no. If I pick up a kid in Markarth and have selected Riften as the site of my primary home, that kid has to leave everyone and everything they've ever known to travel all the way across Skyrim to live in one of the most dangerous, crime-infested cities in the province.
hate to be.....that guy. but this is LITERALLY why mods exist. I really dont understand why people are so averse to the idea of modding games. maybe its because most studios arent like Bethesda in that regard. And this is one of those moments where yes this is 2026. you can mod skyrim right from the ingame menu screen. Thats actually how i learned how to mod skyrim by just browsing the mods bethesda had curated in their in game menu. You dont have to go download hard to use programs and learn papyrus scripting. just start searching for mods that change what you want to change
@RedShirtGuy96is ok, I play modded games, but right now my game is for the nintendo switch versión. I am saving to buy the pc versión and for My birthday a Nexus prime account.
Honestly, kind of inspired a D&D character of mine. Robin Hood-like thief/assassin who sponsors the orphanage she grew up in with her thievery and punishes the rich if they do something bad.
Fable is playable, but as far as fantasy games go, Its near the bottom of my list, obnoxious characters, obnoxious story, gameplay was decent and that's the redeeming factor, there were some cool weapons, but there is so much to complain about in that game i could make a mile long list
I mean, it's really cosy even with that. It's bright and warm, people are friendly. I love living there. And then there's Markarth, which I only want to burn down to the ground and Fus Ro Dah until there's not a single place a human could live
@pierwiastekz2935 THIS!! I don't really know _why_ I have such a deep loathing for Markarth, but it's just the *worst.* I was not very sad when I was obliged to fight my way out of Cidnha Mine with the Forsworn, and that's telling; I normally don't like killing anyone but bandits and thieves in Skyrim.
Honestly amy talking about visual feedback on hitting is so based. As a long time gamer that would have never mattered to me, but hearing her say that made me go ".. wait she's so right"
The screen is a bit busy in combat, so if you can't monitor the health bar, you probably won't notice the blood splatter. But hey, at least it's not Morrowind?
Visual or haptic or audible. Some kind of feedback. It serves three purposes: 1. Logistical, helps you learn how to do combat better through data on what you did that was effective (can even contribute to communicating resistances/weaknesses) 2. Avoid frustration from not knowing the above, what we see here 3. Make it satisfying to fuel motivation to elicit the feedback, encouraging people to play and to push forward and engage. As I said in another comment, one of the big reasons being a stealth archer was so attractive for me (I know it’s a meme at this point but I’m analyzing why) is that you get good feedback on your attacks and hits, crits, and misses as well.
@bad-people6510 Yeah, Bethesda does not like helping the player much historically. Skyrim is hand-holding compared to Daggerfall and Morrowind, and even still I wish vanilla Skyrim had a minimap. What do you mean, "Read the road sign inside the game" Just make a minimap! lol
My sister in law just had twin boys. My first nephews ever. I've never been one for kids but I absolutely love these little potatoes. Even though they aren't *my* children, the ending bit of this video still gave me a big lump in my throat. It's nice to be reminded that I haven't become 100% jaded yet and that some things can still make me feel.
Yeah, the ability to rotate items in the inventory was a new thing for Skyrim. They hyped it up a lot during early trailers, but anyone who didn't pay attention until the ads came out probably wouldn't know about it.
I really like the way you do day by day instead of trying to cut all her gameplay into one continuous story. makes it feel like watching mini episodes and also makes it feel more digestable I think. i love this kind of stuff you do, it's great
it hurt my soul watching her looking at the chests and containers withouth looting. man i would not be able to shut up, knowing she is missing out on the stuff xDDD
@Sphendrana Biotic is Easy Mode in 1, but falls off sharply in 2 because of the majority of powers only affecting enemies without shields. 3 strikes a good balance
@Thomas-fz9xw 2 changed.....a lot lol. Experimenting with the formula so much (prime example was making it more shooter friendly by making you reload _"thermal clips"_ ) wasn't what I hoped for in 2. Really missed modding weapons from the first game so I could swap between using a 1 shot killer sniper or an infinity sniper based on overheating. Seems even biotic powers couldn't avoid getting smeared like wet paint on the canvas. It's there still, but a little messy 😅
her going with Hadvar, not realizing it was an option, Now, I'm an experienced gamer of 17 years by the time Skyrim releases, and even I just blindly followed him. I was very much in the thick of it and fully immersed, and didn't even realize I had a choice. I was feeling that panic someone witnessing a dragon attack would. So seeing her just following him as well, clueless and trying to just survive, that made me smile.
Yeah, I had a lot of hours in the game across several characters before I finally realized that. I just never cared about the civil war until later, so they were always just "soldier A" and "soldier B" to me. Lol
Oh my god. My name is Amy, I'm not a gamer (slightly more than her but still), I just started playing Skyrim and this is almost EXACTLY how I played 😂 this is crazy! I feel like you're narrating my gameplay! And literally the only thing that has motivated me so far has been adopting Lucia 😂 I grinded so hard to be able to give that little girl a home! I'm not a parent irl and don't plan to ever be but this game had me feeling very maternal lol, especially when you wake up 'feeling a mother's love' omg I could cry
I had the same reaction the second I met Lucia, and spent the next few hours in game farming gold till I could purchase and equip my house for her. Then of course she needed a mother too so I married Lydia. Then the first time she brought me a gift my heart melted. Best game ever.
...Wow. *Older* versions of Skyrim actually did have the prompt to rotate and inspect items in the inventory. What reason could they possibly have for removing it? Especially when an early-game puzzle revolves around it???
Before figuring out that the answer was written on the paw I used to brute force the lock after inspecting every wall with no result and google it after doing this for multiple dungeons lmao
@guccii_daddyy Which she doesn't, but I've also played with both and controller is terrible. Anyone saying otherwise hasn't played both or is lying through their teeth.
@heirofaniu purely running around gameplay maybe if they've never played anything, every single interaction with the UI of which there's a lot is much better with a mouse and keyboard.
Love this series, both for being able to watch her grow as a "gamer" over time, and for being able to get genuinely useful and intelligent insights that you wouldn't get from other people who have a lifetime of understanding of the various paradigms in game design, etc. Respect to her for being a good sport with all of this, I can appreciate that it's extra frustrating to do something like this and (intentionally) get very little guidance or advice along the way. Also RIP Horsey Friend, we hardly knew you. Edit: That damn ice troll whupped my ass the first time I played this game, too. He is insanely over-leveled for where he's located, LOL.
I think Wulfgar is the trigger for how fast it closes and the fus she did at him interrupted him with the stagger animation long enough that she was able to walk on through
Amy needs to complete the Dark Brotherhood questline so she can have the Immortal Shadowmare! 😂 then she can have a sense of security that's NOT false. And also play with the mod that let's you adopt multiple children. She can then make her OWN orphanage. _Without the abuse!_ (I'm sure that'll sell the idea lol)
What makes Skyrim so great isn’t necessarily super engaging combat, or strategic game mechanics, but the freedom and exploration given to the player. In Skyrim it truly does feel like you can do and explore anything, which makes it so fun.
I literally started Elden Ring after being too intimidated by FromSoft combat for years but fascinated by the games after I watched a streamer doing a blind play through just. Keep. Going. In a random direction. I was like… I must.
top notch solution finding! edit: As a classic degenerate i chose stealth archer gameplay and only woke up draugr happily sleeping by triggering the scripted event of entering the room to a certain point, or sending them right back to eternal slumber by killing them while still in sarcophaguses. But i understand the tension and i never thought of waking them up with good old fus-ro-dah to be able to pick a multikill by aoeing them (at least thats what i imagine you were heroically doing =) ).
wherever there are those black stone coffins, i'd place a fire rune on each, so if there's someone there that is gonna get up, i'm already dealing damage. And if there's a big, dark, scary room, i'll just send in a flame atronach to catch all the attention
@annafantasia Saddest story I've ever read. When my horse died in Red Dead Redemtion 2 I was completely empty. Took me 2 months to get over the loss of this magnificent beast.
14:55 If you aren't picking up absolutely everything you can, are you really playing Skyrim? Although I will give her a pass for the mountain climbing.
I completely relate to the need to adopt every orphan you meet. When the adoption was first introduced, I was so heartbroken that you can only adopt two. Thankfully there's a mod to adopt the 4 orphans you meet around the world...then I remember we have Honorhall. Good thing there's a mod for a giant orphanage/academy for orphans that I found on Nexus lol

it would help if you did not give her an inaccurate bloody game controller , how cruel , mouse and kb ppl.

Playing unmodded Skyrim should be illegal.
Ykw? This is a neat series. Id like to see how she adapts from game to game in future. I demand more Amy-experiment videos!
Normie_Amy should be her gamertag 😅
You know what would be funny. If you made your wife play Factorio.
Local woman adopts orphan in hopes that it would fill the emptiness in her heart left by killing her horse.
😂
elite funny moment
*walks in a straight line to the objective and brute forcing a mountain" She's clearly a skyrim natural
That's how everyone played it the first time. I think we discovered roads after defeating Alduin.
@OurHourglassthere's roads?
@OurHourglassalduin? Is that some hidden enemy from a super unknown side quest line?
@justinkimberlyrowley4465 "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads." -Doc Brown
@DivineFalcon😂😂
Runs straight to objective, Runs past enemies, passes up loot. Your wife has speedrunner instincts.
She must tilt the horse now.
It’s really relatable as someone who wasn’t able to play games growing up. Gamer instincts are hard, when I finally got some I would get stuck early on and have no idea how to progress xD
She is like the Terminator of normies.
Noticing small details also helps
Hes wife is an anomaly 🤣
Straight up just ignoring the cultists is so fucking funny to me lol. "I don't even know who you are" *walks away*
Best strat in my experience. Otherwise I inevitably hit a guard by accident. Let the guards handle them, then loot them
Hilarious how she didn't even realize she caused the entire battle 😂 Like a scene from a cartoon
"I don't know you and I don't care to know you"
straight up ignoring the cultist is the most dragonborn shit ever
I didn't even know that was an option.
“And without even turning around, aura farms them for 7 straight hours”
I'm dead.
30:10
damn soy cultists
That whole "interaction" there was the most amount of disrespect possible toward the cultists.
"Think about it. Dragonborn cant fight all wars" was so cold too 🤣 They were so insignificant
funniest part, hands down
"cuuuute, it's my hooome- that's not childproof" is the most telling sign of a new parent I've possibly ever seen in a vid about gaming lmaooooo
Lol and the stealing was so funny. It's overrated anyway. Its really hard to resell -i just use it for extra leveling 😂. I think putting pickpocket items back also increases your level!
After a couple Bethesda Games it was a breath of fresh air to play the Witcher without eternal loading screens and knocking everything around making it NEVER look the same afterwards.
@terrylandess6072 Eternal loading screens in Skyrim? Takes a couple of seconds tops
@beatrisnatalina3233 _on pc._ On PS3 one time I deadass had to wait for a loading screen for so long that I made grilled cheese sandwiches during it.
@beatrisnatalina3233 Now. And depends on the console/pc running the game. Some of us are lucky to play at all and have to put up with the inconvenience of inadequate hardware.
"can i lock in?" - me to myself every time I do something stupid
you can always lock in irl
Locked in and looking for baddies
41-year-old man, have made 123,358 characters, and the very first thing I do with each one is adopt Lucia and Sophie.
It's always those two, I don't know why. I'll tell myself on my next playthrough, I'm adopting different kids. And yet still end up with Sofia and Lucia.
Lmao im a 41 yo woman and all I wanna do is fish
who are they?
I adopt the Windhelm girl and the Dawnstar boy 😊
Wait - so I've never played Skyrim myself - can you only adopt two kids?
“This is MESSED up” takes horse meat*
23:52 Loot goblin in training...
Should have her play Fallout 3 next.
You can’t waste it! That’s disrespectful.
You can't waste good meat. There are children in Black Marsh starving
It happend to me too. So I felt bad, loaded the last safe and installed my first mod ever. I forgott ist the name, but horsis coulden't die no more. 🐎❤
Leaving Lydia to wait forever in the street is peak gaming
Poor Lydia. 😢
At least she won't have to be burdened.
i lost lydia in my first playthrough and I didn't even remember where I asked her to wait lmao! I was annoyed.
@snazzydrew they despawn when told to wait... had the same happen with Aela, but player.moveto (ID of follower) teleports you to them. Very useful command
She was quickly replaced by a random guard inside their home.
Ah the charm of skyrim.
Makes Nord
Equips heavy armor and two handed hammer
Adopts and saves child
Uninstalls
Unfathomably based lol
Pretty much what my wife did. She saw that a kid could be adopted and immediately needed to know how to get a house so she could do it. I helped her get Breezehome and she spent most of her remaining playtime finding children to adopt and deciding which ones to. Also constantly just sat in the house interacting with them instead of actually doing anything 😅
@attackmanatee02 maternal instinct kicking into high gear lmao
My daughter basically spent most of her time adopting things.
@neiph8686 socialisation be socialisationing
@neiph8686 adopting things? Like what other than kids?
to be completely fair, she got further in the main story in 5 days than I did in 12 years
You can tell theyre recording this in the few moments where the baby is asleep so they whisper the entire time they play haha.
literally yes
I was wondering how she's so calm all the time haha sleeping baby makes so much sense.
@Th3Jez I accidentally made my Skyrim Let's Plays into ASMR like 12 years ago when my son was sleeping in the other room
@Th3Jez ohhh so that's why you always whisper! That's even kinda better to hear than the constant screaming most gameplays have. It somehow makes everything funnier
@Th3Jez So I don't mean to backseat parent but I heard the best way to get around that is to just be loud. Babies can learn to be heavy sleepers but you gotta train it.
"Name one man"
Looks around nervously uuhhh uhhh
"Vlad the Impaler?"
I just like that right after she picks the name Vlad it immediately cuts to a beheading. Historical Vlad would approve.
🤣
based?
Amy stumbling into role-playing saving the orphan is such peak rpg vibes
5000 for a house, 500 for a quest? I want to live in a world where houses are 10 days wages.
10 such days of work:
Slay a dragon
Kill entire camp of bandits single-handedly
Find ancient, forgotten religious artifact
Blackmail minority
Idk man, it checks out to me
Yea & then wishing you can also "quicksave" & "quickload" irl..
I think that roughly checks out if you're a killer for hire. Not quite worth the risk though, I'd rather stock shelves
consider many quests can be a mortal ending, it's a fair wage. Perhaps the Jarl is hard up for some quick cash ...
The idea of the greybeards thinking “good enough” when she runs though the gates
They think, that the new Dragonborn is a bit "special." So they lower the standards.
@raifthemad "well the gods chose so..."
LOL
She indeed plays weird. And of course Skyrim lets her do it
I mean, what's better:
A hero who depends on ancient magic
Or a hero who can just do it without the ancient magic?
Oh no, she instantly contracted white arrow fever, a horrible disease in the lands of skyrim that causes adventurers to tunnel vision on a "white arrow" that they say "guides" them
Hehe I cant believe she didnt immediately go full stealth archer. I still instinctively hide 😂
Survival mode can cure it ❤
Only to those with small brains who think people don't have choice, kinda like you.
I mean, I've been playing Morrowind recently, and ya know what? People who hate on quest markers have nostalgia googles on tight enough to cut off bloodflow.
"Hello Random lady I rescued from a daedric shrine."
"Hello Neravarine, would you please escort me to my husband?"
"Certainly, where is he?"
"I dunno, fuckin'... east?"
"Hello Neravarine, a witch enchanted and robbed me. Would you please help me get my things back?"
"Sure, Nord with no clothes on. Where is this witch?"
"Northwest. Probably? I was disoriented by the enchantment, you see."
The best part is when the game gives you wrong or misleading information, like that time the citizens of Vos told me to ask the local farmers about the bandit I was on the hunt for, when what they MEANT was to ask the local clan of Ashlanders.
@ilovethelegend I dont hate quest markers, i hate the effect they can have on people that leads to just walking in a straight line rather than taking better paths that lead to more interesting interactions and discovery.
Wait until she meets the little girl in Windhelm. The poor girl sleeping outside in the cold. Her heart will break
I refuse to let that happen
I'll kill gods and befriend corrupt leaders and demon
But I ain't letting that poor kid sleep on the icy streets 🐎
What kid?
I'm convinced that if she managed to meet Aventus, she would be a member of the Dark Brotherhood in a matter of minutes. She'd get into modding so that she could adopt him and every other child from the orphanage.
@starvinmarvin2130 more proof ulfric is a fraud.
@wesss9353 sofia i think, windhelm just to the right when coming in generaly
When she walked through the gate instead of using worldwind sprint and the greyveards were just like 'yup' I lost it
it was cold outside & even the greybeards wanted to just wrap up the lesson and get back inside...
I think your wife is more of a gamer than you are at this point in time
I am low key convinced he is just playing the long con with Amy to turn her into a gamer
Well yeah, he's a RUclipsr
@LoneWolf3571 And if there's any game that could achieve that, it's Skyrim.
@SungurEge It's how I got my husband into gaming. Skyrim is a gateway drug for non-gamers.😅
@LoneWolf3571 thats literally what happened to my mom, I had her play skyrim after she got super into animal crossing, now she plays all kinds of RPGs and is currently working through Expedition 33
Laughed so hard when Lydia got evicted
"Lydia... this is the exit." f'kin wrecked me 🤣🤣
Don't you mean "the random stranger" got evicted? 37:01
_Buy your own house intruder_ moment 😅
Amy completing the greybeards trial by just walking through the gate gave me my best laugh today
Literally didn't even know that was possible and I've been playing this game for more than a decade at this point 😭
same lol
on my first playthrough and I did that today lmao 😩 thought the power worked
when i got the golden claw, I didn't realize i could examine it and see the symbols
I literally did the same thing she did and I've been playing since Daggerfall
@dangomiller Also, Same. I distinctly remember standing at the door, checking the walls, the ceiling, the floor, the joints in the ceiling. Going back to previous rooms to look for clues on the walls, the urns, the ceilings the floors...
Same for me. I solved the puzzle by clipping through the door with a strong hit with a two-handed sword equipped! Yeh, that's how we do it!
When I first played Skyrim as a kid, I solved the door puzzle by assuming the different animals were meant to represent what the ancient culture valued most in order of importance. The owl represented wisdom, the moth was freedom or something, and the bear was strength. Which sort of makes sense for nord culture if you go from top to bottom.
But I didn't know shit about nord culture at the time, so I guessed the opposite order, but I also assumed the center was first and went outward. And somehow it worked.
Now as an adult I just do each ring twice and it works for several of the claw doors.
"She doesn't turn around and just aura farms them for 7 hours"
😂😂😂😂😂
I saw this comment before watching the video, and I had no idea what this was supposed to mean lol
I'm a woman who likes a lot of games (mainly drawn to management sims, God sims, and RTS) who was addicted to playing Skyrim, I played it "properly".
I have a friend who only really played Skyrim exclusively, and had racked up over a thousand hours in vanilla skyrim. The main things she did was hang in her house, ride the horse around, fished, and collected herbs to brew potions.
It was so wholesome. I recommended Animal Crossing to her and she tried it but it never hit the same for her as "Skyrim Crossing".
That’s actually so funny and incredibly wholesome. Did she ever say what it was about Skyrim that just clicked where animal crossing couldn’t?
@99hank97 I think she just liked the aesthetic and world of it tbh!
Yawn
@The101Point1 1/10 ragebait, surely this never works? 😂
I never finished the game, I spent hours collecting books, or carefully put treasure in my chests etc so I understand 😂
I think they should have implemented a sort of "diplomatic" way of playing the game, combat is fun but what if I want to be a noble throwing mundane parties, taking care of my domain and influence the politics of the kingdom ?
A Skyrim's kind of game where I could play an diplomat sorcerer would be so cool
Video was too short, I need a 19 part series where Amy completes the game.
Agreed. I'm too invested in the child-rescuing quest for it to end here!
bro seriously skyrim is the perfect game for this
I started this like "40 mins?" and then it was over. 🥲
Creepypasta fans be like:
Spending multiple minutes going through the character editor only to end up with basically the default nord is very relatable.
I can totally feel where she's coming from, because honestly the most intensely emotional experience I had when playing Skyrim was after doing a minor quest for a woman called Grosta who runs a mill in the Rift. Her husband is missing and she believes he's shacked up with another woman in Morrowind, but it turns out that he was caught by bandits on the way and killed. When you bring the news back to her, she cries that she thought he was unfaithful all this while. But she also talks about how she's probably going to lose the mill soon without him.
So whenever I was in the Rift after that, I dropped in to check on her, and "accidentally" drop a bag of gold or two around her house before leaving. Then, during one visit, vampires and dawnguard started fighting while she was in the mill. She was killed in the fighting, and I was so heartbroken. I rushed to her son Gralnach, and to my surprise he had a dialogue where he said "My mother is dead, what will I do now?" and then I had the option to adopt him. I immediately did so, of course, and spent the rest of the game looking after and pampering him.
The thing was, it wasn't where I was planning to go with the game at all, as my character had been designed as a big gruff lesbian orc barbarian, but it just felt so right for her to have a soft spot for this poor woman and the child she left behind.
The funny thing is, if you would've found the man first, you would never be able to tell her since it's glitched and she will be forever lost in thinking he was cheating and you would have a never dissapearing quest 😬
A brutish orc adopting an orphan definitely fits the character. Your dragonborn will turn the kid into a killing machine so the harsh lands of Skyrim won't hurt him or his loved ones again.
Also may I ask who is the lucky girl that you married your character to?
@Brechtje-g8mYikes.
@kesorangutan6170Borgakh the Steel Heart. I figured I had already paid her dowry anyway ...
@sreyarthakrishna6195 Borgakh totally makes sense but Uthgerd was right there bro 😂
Lmao kicking Lidya out was absolutely hysterical.
" Lydia, boundaries!"
The ending had NO business being that cute
Perfect ending
Everybody shut up: BABY!
I love this where a you tuber gets their non gamer freind to play a open world game like this. I learn so much about game design this way!
Man... she found the flames spell but not healing somehow. That could have been a difference maker.
Picked up a healing potion, to never touch one again.
@eintracht691 Why waste the very valuable 999 healing potions on healing? Like they have to be saved for when you are in real trouble.
@13:34 I'm sorry sir but the term "unscalable mountain" doesnt exist in Bethesda's dictionary. If you find one that's unscalable, you're just approaching it from the wrong angle, again I'm sorry, its bethesda's rules, not mine.
It's such a staple that I literally call it "Skyrimming" when I find out I can do that in other games. "Oh, I can just Skyrim up this hill. Gimme a minute, aaand there we go. Screw you ROADS."
@Luinta even when i was doing it in Rust 10 years ago we called it Skyrimming the mountain, it's been around that long. Shame she never got to see the mountain climbing magnet ability the horse has.
if you cant walk it you can horse-jank it, rules is rules
@Luinta My husband called it that when I was trying to take a shortcut up a small hill rather than the dirt trail while hiking. 😂
There’s definitely a spot where two pixels touch in such a way that you can stand on one of them if you come at it perpendicular. Just gotta get there.
This is a fascinating case study in how a game that the gamurz (trademark) often find to be a little too hand-holdy is still perplexing to someone who just doesn't have knowledge of basic video game tropes and mechanics burned into their cerebral cortex from decades of effort.
"Why is this *[Games intended for casual adults & the young]* so hand-holdy? I don't get it." and *"- [Games with complexity too big to explain & multiplayer too dynamic to teach]* have no good tutorial? I don't get it."
Uhh it doesn't take decades to figure out how to follow a gray quest marker and use common sense. We went from Morrowind which actually had no marker and gave you only directions to your quest objectives to a gray marker. As well as less mechanics at the expense of other features (can't make spells in skyrim but can now dual wield).
@TheGodyouneverknewthe point is a lot of people didn't play Skyrim. So to people who played Morrowind? Sure this game is easy
To people who have maybe never picked up an RPG? They need to learn the basics first.
skyrim isnt really hand holding though. atleast compared to similar stuff
@stratidemicthe player in this video had played at least three other RPGs.
Actually having to look at the claw in your inventory was SUCH a cool thing back when I first played this, even though it only makes sense in a video game. I mean, why have a locked door that needs a key AND a password if you just put the password ON the key?
Anyway, becoming a homeowner and a parent, the true success story of John "Vlad" Skyrim.
Lore reason.
It's to trap the draugr inside, not keep you (or others) out - clueless as most skyrim NPCs seem to be for some reason..
The draugr are basically people with extremely advanced dementia, and lack the mind to solve even simple puzzles with the solution literally spelled out.
And the part I never see anyone mention. You can only trigger the trap if you HAVE the key with the password on it.
Jez has blessed us with more content where he doesn't actually have to play games
Jez needs to rename his channel "Amy Plays"
@MichaelMiller-bs3tz "Normie Wife Gamer Girl Plays Games While Husband Films for Content"
Dude found a life hack.
"I'll do anything for that little girl I don't know"
😂😂😂
As a kid I had exactly the same problem with the golden claw. Looked at the walls for AGES. Then looked up a RUclips video
I used so many combinations until it worked, looking youtube videos make me feel like shit, like I'm the worst loser and I failed, so I never check for guides or YT videos
Same for me. But I actually solved the puzzle by clipping through the door with a strong hit with a two-handed sword equipped! Yeh, that's how we do it!
@RmX. and you’d be right. It’s cheating.
Since I got into Skyrim after watching hours of RUclips videos, I didn't have trouble with that. But I watched my step dad play the game for the first time and he didn't want ANY help so I watched him stare at the wall for a WHILE 😂
It's actually the very last combination you'll do if you try them all lol. I always just remembered to flip each twice.
I can picture the "big, burly Nord" that she chose just sitting back in the first cave yelling out "ohhhhh, yucky spider! You get him, mister!" 😂
Horse heard wife say that horses go "Beep. Beep. Beep." and it just gave up on life right there. 🤣
30:18 "Without even turning around aura-farms them for 7 straight hours. Naturally that enrages soy cultists". Holy smokes the combination of words to make this sentence was highly unexpected and thus incredibly funny. 10/10 cinema experience.
I was caught off guard by the sentence to the point I had to scroll back to make sure I wasn't hearing things
As far as I'm concerned, this is forevermore the correct approach to the start of that DLC.
Dude I was laughing for probably that entire segment of the "war" 😂😂
Proof women can ignore you for hours when there mad EVEN if enemies are nearby💀
It's exactly how to treat those irritating cultists.
your wife is turning into a proper loot goblin, absolutely love it
28:59. I'm that NPC and good job with the pronunciation. You can't even guess how many times in my life people have pronounced the L after the first vowel, for reasons I can never understand. I gave one of my friends that was starting Skyrim a non spoilerish indication that he would meet me in the game (he was puzzled at this) and a some days later he called me up just to say he was laughing his ass off for the last thirty minutes after encountering me.
They pronounce it "Kilmek"? Even though it's clearly spelled Klimmek?
Wait…you’re telling me that Klimmek is a fellow Rush fan?
@ryanhoward8694 he's also a fellow Ryan.
You can play Skyrim without using a bow?
Theoretically this one thinks.
You can.
I've never used a bow in skyrim.
@travisgarrison8777same
. 😂
This is one of those "hidden choices" you can discover in the game. Like not killing Nazeem for some reason.
2:20 The comedic timing when she finally decides that her character's name will be "Vlad" absolutely killed me.
💀🤣💀
Bit late now. But for everyone else, you can totally walk all the way to town with Hadvar or Ralof and they do have some dialogue all the all the way to Riverwood.
what's great is they serve as a small tutorial for the trip to Riverwood. Hey you can get blessings from these stones, loot these 3 wolves and you might find gold. Go talk to this lady and she'll give you free items if you tell her I sent ya. Kinda forces you to explore and if you stop by the Riverwood Trader you can choose to do Bleak Falls Barrow for Lucan before ever entering Whiterun which saves a decent amount of backtracking for the Dragonstone.
I never understood why that "It's best if we split up" dialogue is even there, when clearly the way the game is meant to be played is if you follow him to Riverwood.
It confused the hell out of me the first time I played as well.
@inter654 THIS!
the way she just instantly tries to kill Hadvar in every tutorial dungeon fight has me rolling lmao
What will happen when she finds out that you can only adopt two children? for me it was like... i am the dragonborn! i have 5 mansions, a plantation, 3 terrains in construction, and all the gold of Tamriel, and just adopt two children when a want like.... everyone of them~!?
Eight base game properties, one in each non-Winterhold region, each able to hold two children, and yet I'm forced to identify one as the "primary" home with everyone in it. You'd think I could get two kids in each home, but no. If I pick up a kid in Markarth and have selected Riften as the site of my primary home, that kid has to leave everyone and everything they've ever known to travel all the way across Skyrim to live in one of the most dangerous, crime-infested cities in the province.
hate to be.....that guy. but this is LITERALLY why mods exist. I really dont understand why people are so averse to the idea of modding games. maybe its because most studios arent like Bethesda in that regard. And this is one of those moments where yes this is 2026. you can mod skyrim right from the ingame menu screen. Thats actually how i learned how to mod skyrim by just browsing the mods bethesda had curated in their in game menu. You dont have to go download hard to use programs and learn papyrus scripting. just start searching for mods that change what you want to change
@RedShirtGuy96is ok, I play modded games, but right now my game is for the nintendo switch versión. I am saving to buy the pc versión and for My birthday a Nexus prime account.
Honestly, kind of inspired a D&D character of mine. Robin Hood-like thief/assassin who sponsors the orphanage she grew up in with her thievery and punishes the rich if they do something bad.
Except Braith
Dragonborn: "nah im little bit busy right now"
the true dragonborn indeed
I'm very curious how she would react to one of the Fable series since they put so much effort and thought into being quirky and social connection.
That's an excellent suggestion, yeah, those games are more in a direction she'd like.
man how i loved fable
Let’s not forget there’s an achievement in that game for… uhhh… having a “party with no pants on” if you catch my drift
Fable is playable, but as far as fantasy games go, Its near the bottom of my list, obnoxious characters, obnoxious story, gameplay was decent and that's the redeeming factor, there were some cool weapons, but there is so much to complain about in that game i could make a mile long list
Fine! RUclips, I'll watch your endlessly recommended Skyrim vid! Stop pestering me.
Hahah, Whiterun.
"It just seems like such a nice place--"
"YOU THERE! BATTLEBORN OR GREYMANE?"
I mean, it's really cosy even with that. It's bright and warm, people are friendly. I love living there.
And then there's Markarth, which I only want to burn down to the ground and Fus Ro Dah until there's not a single place a human could live
@pierwiastekz2935 THIS!! I don't really know _why_ I have such a deep loathing for Markarth, but it's just the *worst.* I was not very sad when I was obliged to fight my way out of Cidnha Mine with the Forsworn, and that's telling; I normally don't like killing anyone but bandits and thieves in Skyrim.
She navigates the world just like me, straight lines and mountain climbing only
"Not now daughter, dad is drinking and raiding"
for someone with almost no gaming experience. its really cool to see her get the lockpicking mechanics so easily.
underrated comment
This is a masterclass in the meaning of user-friendly
By demonstrating stuff that's not!
4:29 she's trully bringing new meaning to "sweeping the floor with your enemies 🧹"
Turning into John Skyrim would not have been on my bingo card.
this is the most dramatic way I've seen a horse die in skyrim😂😂
Honestly amy talking about visual feedback on hitting is so based.
As a long time gamer that would have never mattered to me, but hearing her say that made me go ".. wait she's so right"
Make her play Daggerfall.
The screen is a bit busy in combat, so if you can't monitor the health bar, you probably won't notice the blood splatter. But hey, at least it's not Morrowind?
Visual or haptic or audible. Some kind of feedback. It serves three purposes:
1. Logistical, helps you learn how to do combat better through data on what you did that was effective (can even contribute to communicating resistances/weaknesses)
2. Avoid frustration from not knowing the above, what we see here
3. Make it satisfying to fuel motivation to elicit the feedback, encouraging people to play and to push forward and engage.
As I said in another comment, one of the big reasons being a stealth archer was so attractive for me (I know it’s a meme at this point but I’m analyzing why) is that you get good feedback on your attacks and hits, crits, and misses as well.
@VeronicaWarlock That is a really solid insight about the stealth archer thing.
@bad-people6510 Yeah, Bethesda does not like helping the player much historically. Skyrim is hand-holding compared to Daggerfall and Morrowind, and even still I wish vanilla Skyrim had a minimap. What do you mean, "Read the road sign inside the game" Just make a minimap! lol
"this team doesnt like spiders" - in an Aussie accent
I LOLed when she said, "oh no, icky. You got this mister, can you take care of the spiders for me?"
@grantstratton2239 ...and that's when I snorted remembering she's playing Vlad, the Nord Manly Man.
horses dies --> worst game ever
adopts a child --> best game ever
absolute cinema guys LMAO 😂
"Oh, there's lots of nasty spiders. Cringe. Okay mister, can you kill the spiders? Ooh yucky, ooh yucky." - Vlad the Burly
Cool tip about Lucia, she eventually finds a white fox and asks you if she can keep it. This happens every time and I say yes every time.
The ending was so beautiful. Jez is such a pulse rifle main
My sister in law just had twin boys. My first nephews ever. I've never been one for kids but I absolutely love these little potatoes.
Even though they aren't *my* children, the ending bit of this video still gave me a big lump in my throat.
It's nice to be reminded that I haven't become 100% jaded yet and that some things can still make me feel.
@jakel7213same here man, I just love jez so much. It’s so beautiful to see, don’t tell anyone but I shedded a tear
even as a "seasoned gamer" when I first played the bleak falls barrow quest, I had no idea to look at the claw to unlock the door
Yeah, the ability to rotate items in the inventory was a new thing for Skyrim. They hyped it up a lot during early trailers, but anyone who didn't pay attention until the ads came out probably wouldn't know about it.
Same I just figured what you saw was what you got and used what I could make out from the inventory screen by default to solve the puzzle.
same! first time i played i couldnt figure it out and actually brute-forced this puzzle
literally, i just put a random combination on the door and it opened first try lmao
Turn each ring twice for the BFB door…that’s the only way I knew to do it for the longest time 😂
Her play through is almost identical to my first play through, so clearly she’s on the right track.
I really like the way you do day by day instead of trying to cut all her gameplay into one continuous story. makes it feel like watching mini episodes and also makes it feel more digestable I think. i love this kind of stuff you do, it's great
Yeah I like how it changes up the pacing and produces something that feels very different to most skyrim videos this length
thanks mark, you're the best
2:27 "that's a bit much" i mean technically its a bit less
Just a little bit off the top
it hurt my soul watching her looking at the chests and containers withouth looting. man i would not be able to shut up, knowing she is missing out on the stuff xDDD
37:43 this is what it feels like when you are chilling at your home with your loved ones and the player barges in your house. 😂
This is my wifes favourite video game, she also enjoyed Mass Effect, might be worth a check.
Did she play biotic? Honestly I played biotic all 3 games and the difficulty lowers so sharply it's like the game turns into a dating simulator.
@bluestarkiller Really? Cause I've yet to play Biotic lol I'm always Tech and Combat 😅
@Sphendrana Biotic is Easy Mode in 1, but falls off sharply in 2 because of the majority of powers only affecting enemies without shields. 3 strikes a good balance
@Thomas-fz9xw 2 changed.....a lot lol. Experimenting with the formula so much (prime example was making it more shooter friendly by making you reload _"thermal clips"_ ) wasn't what I hoped for in 2. Really missed modding weapons from the first game so I could swap between using a 1 shot killer sniper or an infinity sniper based on overheating.
Seems even biotic powers couldn't avoid getting smeared like wet paint on the canvas. It's there still, but a little messy 😅
@bluestarkiller Soldier for ME1 (Original game to access more weapons) Vanguard for ME2 & ME3. I hardly choose anything else.
"And does her first Fus-Ro-Dah"...
*random corpse gets flung*
her going with Hadvar, not realizing it was an option,
Now, I'm an experienced gamer of 17 years by the time Skyrim releases, and even I just blindly followed him. I was very much in the thick of it and fully immersed, and didn't even realize I had a choice. I was feeling that panic someone witnessing a dragon attack would.
So seeing her just following him as well, clueless and trying to just survive, that made me smile.
Yeah, I had a lot of hours in the game across several characters before I finally realized that.
I just never cared about the civil war until later, so they were always just "soldier A" and "soldier B" to me. Lol
Oh my god. My name is Amy, I'm not a gamer (slightly more than her but still), I just started playing Skyrim and this is almost EXACTLY how I played 😂 this is crazy! I feel like you're narrating my gameplay! And literally the only thing that has motivated me so far has been adopting Lucia 😂 I grinded so hard to be able to give that little girl a home! I'm not a parent irl and don't plan to ever be but this game had me feeling very maternal lol, especially when you wake up 'feeling a mother's love' omg I could cry
I'm sure by the time TES 6 comes out, we can welcome Amy in the circle of pro gamers.
I had the same reaction the second I met Lucia, and spent the next few hours in game farming gold till I could purchase and equip my house for her. Then of course she needed a mother too so I married Lydia. Then the first time she brought me a gift my heart melted. Best game ever.
0:55 being 1 minute in and hearing how distraught she is, I just know she killed paarthurnax
Roflmao
I didn’t even consider that she would’ve gotten that far
But I’ve never seen any of these videos so
@StoneSYLO15smh
Oh no, oh God, that is it, isn't it????
i thought the exact same thing i’m so glad it’s not just me
Lol she did pretty well for a first timer! Now get her to try Fallout 4 ❤️
33:03 I so wish we had a webcam for this moment
...Wow. *Older* versions of Skyrim actually did have the prompt to rotate and inspect items in the inventory. What reason could they possibly have for removing it? Especially when an early-game puzzle revolves around it???
Before figuring out that the answer was written on the paw I used to brute force the lock after inspecting every wall with no result and google it after doing this for multiple dungeons lmao
It's a console port, my guess is that this was lost in the transition from PC
@beatrisnatalina3233 HAHSADHBAS same here
@SquidwardsBrowserHistory It was on the original PS3 version.
Pretty sure you can still rotate items on console by pressing right control stick down
Parking Lydia outside was a serious big brain move.
Letting her pull the poison arrow lever 3 times is diabolical.
Every horrible controller thing compiled in one video. Poor girl.
Yeah, half of the problems would've solved by kb&m
Controller is only bad if you don’t know what ur doing lmao
@guccii_daddyy Which she doesn't, but I've also played with both and controller is terrible. Anyone saying otherwise hasn't played both or is lying through their teeth.
@axxey Believe me when I say that WASD is way harder to teach than gamepad.
@heirofaniu purely running around gameplay maybe if they've never played anything, every single interaction with the UI of which there's a lot is much better with a mouse and keyboard.
1:21 absolute under rated cinema 😂😂🤣
Came to comment on the Hanzo ult too 🤣
in between OW games rn and it had me shellshocked hearing it in a skyrim vid 😂
Love this series, both for being able to watch her grow as a "gamer" over time, and for being able to get genuinely useful and intelligent insights that you wouldn't get from other people who have a lifetime of understanding of the various paradigms in game design, etc.
Respect to her for being a good sport with all of this, I can appreciate that it's extra frustrating to do something like this and (intentionally) get very little guidance or advice along the way.
Also RIP Horsey Friend, we hardly knew you.
Edit: That damn ice troll whupped my ass the first time I played this game, too. He is insanely over-leveled for where he's located, LOL.
Yeah, I was thinking the entire time, about what invaluable testing information this actually is.
Jonathan D. Skyrim wears Light Armor with a Heavy Armor Helmet.
29:43 I now believe she is secretly an expert because I have not been able to run the gate without the shout and she just walks it like a boss.
I think Wulfgar is the trigger for how fast it closes and the fus she did at him interrupted him with the stagger animation long enough that she was able to walk on through
@inter654Wauw yeah, that sounds Skyrim enough to be true.
@inter654 This makes her solution so much funnier
30:10 you’re telling me after all that aura farming they couldn’t tell she was the Dragonborn? 😂
I think it was the 7 hour aura farm that definitely confirmed the suspicion and that's why they're aggressive afterwards!
@Noah-bi4ll7 hours of straight skooma smoking from them, they think she's a giant piece of cheese coming after them.
Amy needs to complete the Dark Brotherhood questline so she can have the Immortal Shadowmare! 😂 then she can have a sense of security that's NOT false.
And also play with the mod that let's you adopt multiple children. She can then make her OWN orphanage. _Without the abuse!_ (I'm sure that'll sell the idea lol)
Shadowmere actually isn't truly immortal, they can still die. Eventually they can respawn but isn't true immortality.
@morrigankasa570 "Eventually they can respawn" is _Immortality At Home_
@SphendranaFair, but that isn't the same as True Essential Status.
@morrigankasa570 I think it won't matter to Amy as long as the horse always comes back.
@SphendranaMaybe, but that requires remembering to get it if that happens and if I remember correctly it's like a month in game for it to respawn.
Your wife was so deadpan about the spiders lmao
What makes Skyrim so great isn’t necessarily super engaging combat, or strategic game mechanics, but the freedom and exploration given to the player. In Skyrim it truly does feel like you can do and explore anything, which makes it so fun.
I literally started Elden Ring after being too intimidated by FromSoft combat for years but fascinated by the games after I watched a streamer doing a blind play through just. Keep. Going. In a random direction. I was like… I must.
I hate jump scares so eventually I would just shout in order to wake up the enemies so that they couldn't sneak up on me.
top notch solution finding!
edit: As a classic degenerate i chose stealth archer gameplay and only woke up draugr happily sleeping by triggering the scripted event of entering the room to a certain point, or sending them right back to eternal slumber by killing them while still in sarcophaguses.
But i understand the tension and i never thought of waking them up with good old fus-ro-dah to be able to pick a multikill by aoeing them (at least thats what i imagine you were heroically doing =) ).
I did that early in the game as well. It's safer to stay in the corridor and let then come to you
Wait this is so smart thank you
I love using the throw voice shout and the view auras shouts. One so no jump scares, the other so I can see them through the walls
wherever there are those black stone coffins, i'd place a fire rune on each, so if there's someone there that is gonna get up, i'm already dealing damage. And if there's a big, dark, scary room, i'll just send in a flame atronach to catch all the attention
"Horse killing game"
I fully agree
I'm still mourning my horse that simply vanished during an encounter. I never saw it again, dead or alive
@annafantasia Saddest story I've ever read.
When my horse died in Red Dead Redemtion 2 I was completely empty. Took me 2 months to get over the loss of this magnificent beast.
13:58 I've been playing Skyrim for years and I've always thought that the red dot is a red skull... damn.
14:55 If you aren't picking up absolutely everything you can, are you really playing Skyrim? Although I will give her a pass for the mountain climbing.
I completely relate to the need to adopt every orphan you meet. When the adoption was first introduced, I was so heartbroken that you can only adopt two. Thankfully there's a mod to adopt the 4 orphans you meet around the world...then I remember we have Honorhall. Good thing there's a mod for a giant orphanage/academy for orphans that I found on Nexus lol
i found one that lets me adopt 8 and ive never been happier lmao
Bro she absolutely just doesn't look up 🤣
That just means she's a certified Gamer.
