I played Skyrim through twice 10 years ago on PS3. On a whim, I picked it up from Steam for $18 for PC and was happily amazed at the amount of content and mods out there. I have been binging Skyrim videos for four months now with no end in sight!
I'm a bit surprised seeing people call the first hours of Skyrim a snooze fest. That's actually my favourite part of the whole game. I get a feeling of first being immersed in the world and then after leaving Helgen, I get a feeling of endless possibilities. My character is still weak enough to make things interesting. Later on in the game, I inevitably become OP. But those first hours are the best for me.
I feel that. I hang around Riverwood and White run until I have moderate armor, and at least one decent weapon and then I proceed to walk the map and discover as many places as possible before really pursuing any quests. (i’m talking like 50 hours worth of walking) I die A LOT, but it is a lot more interesting and fun than later on being so OP that I don’t even have to look at my health bar anymore…
@@HowManySmall literally why I only played one and a half times through 10 years ago on PS3. Wagon to dragon is horrible. But at least in the tutorial you can level.
Am I the only one who thinks Angie should have been made a follower after the experience? One of the most interesting vanilla npc encounters and you walk away leaving her in isolation, having no reason to return, knowing her non essential status could get her killed as an after thought if a strong creature spawns in her vicinity. Thanks RDO and my home is your home mod for enabling me to keep her
@@themarvellousmacca Well there is no reason to return. I am comparing the uniqueness of the encounter to the vanilla followers recruitment process. If I was pitting it against recruiting Garus in mass effect or even Fallout's recruitment system, Angie would have fallen way short
It will forever be that game I can play no matter what. No matter how long it’s been since my last play. It never loses my interest and after months without playing I start right back where I was and play for hours and hours without even realizing.
She doesn't just give archery xp. She gives archery levels. So it's good to go there later when your archery skill is already high and it takes to get it higher.
Rem8nds me of how in oblivion when you got t level 90 on any skill then u could go to the master trainer and you would have to do a specific task for training like stay underwater for an extended period of time.
4:15 if you dont have an horse, transforming into a werewolf or a vampire lord gives you extreme speed regardless of how much you're carrying, yes you cannot fast travel while transformed, but that helps alot as a last ditch option.
If I remember correctly, you can't hold vampire lord form at daytime (in the open where the sun reach you), and also in both scenario you are attacked by anyone who notice you.
@@jesusfilosofo6385 Forget the fact, that if you are in vampire lord form near a shop or house, everyone in the settlement want to kill you, but even if you do that, that means, you are at a pace, where you can put down or sell most stuff, so you don't need carry them.
@@StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe my man, is not perfect, sometimes im full of important stuff, and this helps alot if you dont have the conjure spell of the horse, but it has its oportunities to shiny, is good when inside caves too.
Become ethereal actually one of best shout IMO.. if you notice a dragon about to land your head or breathe fire.. use it and dragon will waste all effort on a "ghost" and you can safely land a few shots with your bow or spell while its taking off. It is a life saver in legendary difficulty. :)
Not to mention if you combine it with the unlimited shouts trick its super OP. Yo can spam it and basically be like Obito from Naruto using Kamui to phase through attacks. One of my favorite things to do in skyrim
I just started playing this week and am thrilled with all the current Skyrim content on RUclips. It definitely is still a healthy community. Oh yeah, it’s a pretty awesome game too
In Solstheim when you finish Bloodskal Barrow, at the end you can choose Scholar's Insight. This power gives you 2 points for each Skill book read. You can go from 90 to 100 instantly if you have 5 different books. An easy way to bypass the most difficult levels.
You beat me too it. Actually going to Bloodskal Barrow is the first thing I do once I leave Helgen. Not only does it give you the Scholars Insight skill but you also get the Bloodskal Blade which is a mad powerful item in the early, Also your first mask, which gives lightening protection and boosts lightening spell damage ( this also scales up your lightening dmg enchantments when worn if you are not playing a wizard build ). Finally you also get an Ancient Nordic Pickaxe. Overall it is a fantastic way to start the game.
So, each of the prisoners in the Dark Brotherhood torture room will give up the location by taking their health to below 10% without killing them, it is really easy to do, no conversations necessary.
One of the things that peeves me about Skyrim is the fact you cannot travel on the carriage when you’re encumbered Yet you can ride your own horse and fast travel with no issue
I hope my grandchildren play Skyrim and it lives on forever! Im 29 btw and have a 9 year old daughter, she’s on Minecraft now, when she’s ready I’ll introduce her to Skyrim 💚
Knew all of these except two, one being the horse fast travel trick which I forgot, and the other being immediately going to the watchtower, which is something that just never occured. Awesome video btw. It's nice to see my favourite game still has people playing it and making content about it.
If you skip going to whiterun in the beginning of the game. You can wander around the world dragon free. You can go to winterhold and there won't be a murderer, and there are many other events that are "paused" until you enter whiterun.
Did you mean the murderer in windhelm? That still happens; you have to enter town a number of times before it triggers. I think four times and certain NPCs may need to still be alive.
0:55 A Lesson well-learnt, you'd better listen: DO NOT MAKE FOLLOWERS PICK UP STACKS OF ITEMS THIS WAY, THEY WILL BECOME ONLY ONE ITEM. I dropped 500 clay bricks in a stack for Lydia to pick up, and when I checked her inventory later, it was only one clay brick. Totally threw a monkey wrench into my plans, it could've been far worse if I asked her to pick up some valuable arrows. You need to drop them all individually, no matter how painful it is. if you really want some good painless carry weight on those followers try using the potion of restoration loop to get a super powerful piece of armor that increases your carry weight by 3 trillion or something.
Put your items in a container, then have your follower pick them up out of there. The items will be marked stolen. The way to fix that is to put them in a container and take them back out yourself. Hope this helps.
@@courtney-rw8chhaha I power level once in awhile. I have max upgraded daedric armour and a boat load of health. So I can just let giants attack me while I'm afk.

You forgot to mention something about the house buying that I feel is a MUST to tell people; IF you do the glitch to get the house for free... It glitches the house so you can't decorate it AT ALL. You own it yes, but to the game you don't own it since no actual transaction happened. If you do this your house will be stuck with the default shabby look with straw, webs, and likely only 1 container and a bed
My first playthrough I did in Skyrim way back in 2011 I went from Riverwood to Bleak Falls Barrow. Did not go to Whiterun until after returning the Golden Claw. Interesting thing is when doing this Delphine does not show up in Dragonsreach. Did not not the trick for skill books and followers. I did know skills level up slower at higher levels though. NOTE: Fairly certain the Unofficial Patch removes the exploit for buying a home for free.
Even more efficient than dropping items on the ground (and potentially losing materials as mentioned previously) just put all the items you want in a barrel, chest, or other storage container. Then command the follower to take all from the container. Super fast, never lose mats, and never lose items that bounce away on the ground. Just don’t try to do it inside a space where you’re trespassing or the follower may refuse.
Honestly the most hilarious shout cast I have ever seen! The way he slams into that shop stall, I'm crying with laughter at it so much now it's hard to write this! Quality dialogue mate, some real giggle moments. Lydia's back pain was amusing. Great video, did not know many of these!
Wanna raise block quickly? Just meet a giant. After level 40 with a good level of heavy or light armor, you can let giant hit you while blocking and raise your block level to 100 in a couple mins. Then, you got a pretty easy xp loop. Enjoying it to get skill perks since I reached level 83!
Counterpoint to 3: If you head straight to the Western Watchtower, you miss out on a piece of leveled enchanted loot from Balgruuf for completing Bleak Falls Barrow. Instead, just head upstairs, wait for the conversation to start and then leave the room via the large doors to the balcony. Re-enter Dragonsreach and the conversation will be skipped, while also giving you your loot.
Damn, I didn't know about the infinit companion carry weight. But I am newer to Skyrim than most, I suppose. I had taken a break from gaming to travel a lot for a few years. And I travelled a lot. Before the Nintendo Switch came out, so there was no way to play the games I really wanted to, at the time. Like Skyrim. Videos like this really mean a lot to me. Thank you for keeping Skyrim content alive along with a few other channels. I just subscribed🤘🏼
I found Angie on my latest playthrough, and completed the first challenge. Unfortunately, we were attacked by a dragon, and she did not survive, so I was not able to complete the “quest”… 😂😂😂
4:03 I kinna like to switch to my werewolf abilities and then stop near a town so the guards don't attack me and the fact is werewolf hitting ability kinna makes u dash so it's also way faster and when u have completed the time of bring a werewolf u can wait for 24 hours and be it again
Even though the Bloodskal blade’s energy blast thing doesn’t do much damage it does stagger many enemies, so still useful during Become Ethereal to interrupt enemy healing or clear a path to get to safety and heal
For the first thing, you can throw your stuff in a chest/barrel/sack etc. and use the command for them to take all from chest. Way easier than having them pick up one item at a time, and they can pick up stolen objects.
I've tried this before with stolen items and my follower refused to take them. I think their nature matters there. Like Mjoll is considered lawful good or whatever so she refuses to commit crimes.
So fun fact with being over encumbered, ok so this sounds silly or weird but always carry a potion of increase carry weight as chances are that you picked up just enough to be over encumbered so the carry weight potion will get you long enough to fast travel. This can be done in fallout 3, NV, and 4 with a buffout drug.
I've played skyrim for years I'm now 58 yrs old I hope to enjoy Elder Scrolls 6 sometime before I pass on 😂 I still play it once in awhile but not as much anymore. Still really love the game though .😊
One of the surprises that I discovered is that Logrolf the Willful in the House of Horrors quest, had hidden plans. This Boethia priest had a hidden agenda to produce a sacrifice that would very much please his patron Daedra, but you and Molog Bal are going to destroy it. Talk to Azzada Lylvieve and his wife Michel. They talk about a friend that had helped Azzada get off the streets of Markarth. This old soldier is Logrolf the Bent. Willful? Bent? There is a similar concept in those nicknames. Plus, Bethesda doesn’t like to repeat names of characters except to make minor spelling changes. No matter what, would you readily accept help from a priest of Boethia? Michel also mentions that in one of his last letters Logrolf mentions a ghost problem in his house, hmmm?! To me is that Logrolf had planned to prop up Azzada then at the peak of his success give him to Boethia as a prize showing his devotion to this Daedra. Getting the mace from Molog Bal is actually a good thing as you prevent the murder of this good soul and preserve their family while denying Boethia one of her best priests. Most people think of the conversations with the Lylvieves as a nice story, but it could have had a cruel fate.
@@arwahsapi Thank you, it just struck me one day that there was a connection between these people. Michel’s comments clinched it about the ghost in the house. It’s very subtle but definitely there is the connection.
I can almost say the opposite. I got to level 35 without using fast travel. Tried to be as raw as i could in that playthrough and man. That sh*t is boring. Walking through new areas is fun sure, but walking through the places youve been through countless times really is a drag. It makes you rethink going to locations just to drop loot and such so that was pretty valuable but doing quests and traversing land over and over again that you already traversed made me ditch that playthrough.
@@erikcancel5071 I play Skyrim for the adventure for what happens along the way. I’ve spent hundreds maybe thousands of hours in Skyrim and still discover locations and ways to traverse the landscape. But we are all differently.
There is also 3 hidden chests with a load of stuff in. one in Dawnstar, one outside Solitude and one outside Markarth. The one in Dawnstar is to the left of the entrance to iron breaker mine. The one in Solitude is just outside the city walls, where the khajiit sets up shop. The one at Markarth is behind the stone wall where also the khajiit sets up shop. The chests are invisible, so it takes a little searching to find them, but it is worth the time.
Skyrim is my #1. I played it over and over again. I don't know how many hours I sunk in it, but every playthrough is different. The only other game which managed that ist NFS most wanted (2005).
If Bethesda was smart they would give us a new few new DLC’s worthy of Skyrims reputation. I’ve been playing this game since its release, and the mods only made it better. I’d gladly buy a new DLC if they made it the size of the original game. I thought it would be a cool idea that you go thru a portal and are sent back in time to be a part of Ulfric’s uprising maybe even earlier when Winterhold was destroyed.
#7 reminds me of a crazy video by ""The Spiffing Brit": he stored a whole bunch of enchanted armor in a barrel near a jail, got arrested, escaped, put armor on, got arrested again, escaped again... then when he finally "served his sentence", he wound up wearing ALL THE ARMORS AT ONCE! i'm not sure if the Defence stat stacked, but the enchantments sure did!
I just started playing skyrim a month ago. It's awesome! Though I figured out a few of these on my own. What's better than dropping your stuff on the ground is putting it in a chest, barrel or whatever place you can that doesn't count as stealing then have your follower take everything from inside. Much faster.
There's things that EVERYONE knows by now and then there are proper tips. Here's 3. Instead of going to the place requested, fight the Ebony Warrior whilst in a town, right after he's told you his nonsense. He can't spam shouts anymore and you have space to move around properly. There's a Dragon in Blackreach. Find the bit where there's a Falmer worshipping temple. Above it there's a big gold glowing light thingy. Use the Unrelenting Force shout on it, you hear a "Dong" and a Dragon flies out. There's a Dragon in Solstheim, tucked away on an unmarked island. Go find it.
Everyone knows about the dragon in Blackreach. Also, I have a vague memory of the Solstheim dragon but I’m not completely sure. Where is this unmarked island?
When I first played in 2012 or so, the first year I didn't know about fast travel !!! Lol My son was watching me one day and he was like why are you walking from Whiterun to Solitude?!
I don't know why people keep listing clear bugs as "Features". Tell me what the difference between cheating the gold for a house in console and doing what this guy mentions? Talos amulet bug literally breaks the game with no cooldown shouts
I always do the Angi quest near the beginning of each playthrough and spend a few days with her. Feels very training montage. Plus her bow is a decent enough starting bow.
Agree with Skyrim being the top one among great others (Morrowind, Oblivion,...) of TES videogame franchise, but the true undisputed masterpiece of Fallout series is New Vegas. Fallout 4 is pretty good but not so great than his predecessors, even ranks below Fallout 3 despite better & updated graphics.
I love how this game is 13 games old and I’m still learning about this game. I’ve played it with my dad and siblings since the day it came out. My dad took my sister at like 12am for the release and everyone loved that my sister (who was like 9) was there past her bed time lol 😂
As someone who just started playing Skyrim, sometimes the directions are really confusing when starting missions especially when you’re not familiar with the map yet. But so far, it’s been amazing.
backpain is just a thalmor conspiracy🤔 - to No 6: or just install a mod with a nice home in a style you like there are many to dl from a cabin up to fortress.
Something i have been doing recently is starting the block skill to 15 again, finding a giant and using my sheild to block them with a healing power in the other hand. You have to be pretty strong to do it, but it levels your block starting at 1 hit then goes up to about 10 hits. Each time block levels up your characters level goes up a bit until you level up. You get 3 or 4 perks out of the whole process each time and it takes about 10 min to do it
The carry weight i have a clip of doing it in first gen vanilla skyrim in 2011 somewhere i recorded to show my friend at school how to have the followers carry everything you have but make sure you give them potions so they dont die and get one that know how to heal them selves
i've only had followers die twice, ever. when they run out of health, they will fall to their knees and gasp for breath, and enemies will ignore them and come after you instead, and they will recover! but watch out for enemies throwing spells like "Fireball" or "wall of flame", they can finish off your follower if you are standing close to them!
I love how 13 years after its release, the community is still going strong as ever. Keep it up dude!

Honestly the most hilarious shout cast I have ever seen! The way he slams into that shop stall, I'm crying with laughter at it so much now it's hard to write this! Quality dialogue mate, some real giggle moments. Lydia's back pain was amusing. Great video, did not know many of these!
Today I learned that Dawnbreaker does extra damage to Dragons.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, they ARE resurrected after all.
Wanna raise block quickly? Just meet a giant. After level 40 with a good level of heavy or light armor, you can let giant hit you while blocking and raise your block level to 100 in a couple mins. Then, you got a pretty easy xp loop. Enjoying it to get skill perks since I reached level 83!
It would have made a ton of sense if the ghost weapons were the exception to not being able to deal damage in the ethereal form.
13 years and we're still discovering new, or unknown, things in Skyrim. And Fall Damage is still covering Skyrim to this day.
If you use any of the cloak spells before using Become Ethereal you could do damage that way too, but the way you showed was interesting too
Counterpoint to 3:
If you head straight to the Western Watchtower, you miss out on a piece of leveled enchanted loot from Balgruuf for completing Bleak Falls Barrow.
Instead, just head upstairs, wait for the conversation to start and then leave the room via the large doors to the balcony. Re-enter Dragonsreach and the conversation will be skipped, while also giving you your loot.
The house glitch works in real life too. I believe it's called squatting.
Damn, I didn't know about the infinit companion carry weight. But I am newer to Skyrim than most, I suppose. I had taken a break from gaming to travel a lot for a few years. And I travelled a lot. Before the Nintendo Switch came out, so there was no way to play the games I really wanted to, at the time. Like Skyrim. Videos like this really mean a lot to me. Thank you for keeping Skyrim content alive along with a few other channels. I just subscribed🤘🏼
I found Angie on my latest playthrough, and completed the first challenge. Unfortunately, we were attacked by a dragon, and she did not survive, so I was not able to complete the “quest”… 😂😂😂
You have an amazing voice, I bet you get all the ladies.
Keep the skyrim vids coming it's great to have more content
4:03 I kinna like to switch to my werewolf abilities and then stop near a town so the guards don't attack me and the fact is werewolf hitting ability kinna makes u dash so it's also way faster and when u have completed the time of bring a werewolf u can wait for 24 hours and be it again
I suggest you install the mod "growl beast of skyrim" you will enjoy playing as a werewolf trust me
Even though the Bloodskal blade’s energy blast thing doesn’t do much damage it does stagger many enemies, so still useful during Become Ethereal to interrupt enemy healing or clear a path to get to safety and heal
Jeremy Clarkson is that you?
For the first thing, you can throw your stuff in a chest/barrel/sack etc. and use the command for them to take all from chest. Way easier than having them pick up one item at a time, and they can pick up stolen objects.
😮
I've tried this before with stolen items and my follower refused to take them. I think their nature matters there. Like Mjoll is considered lawful good or whatever so she refuses to commit crimes.
I actually enjoy grinding up my character in the early hours of the game
So fun fact with being over encumbered, ok so this sounds silly or weird but always carry a potion of increase carry weight as chances are that you picked up just enough to be over encumbered so the carry weight potion will get you long enough to fast travel.
This can be done in fallout 3, NV, and 4 with a buffout drug.
*Gives follower all my valuable loot..*
*Gets yeeted to the other side of a map by a giant 🫠*
I babysit my sister's 10-year-old, and I'm just now realizing that Skyrim is older than he is; it makes me happy and feel old at the same time
I'm learning new things here
I've played skyrim for years I'm now 58 yrs old I hope to enjoy Elder Scrolls 6 sometime before I pass on 😂 I still play it once in awhile but not as much anymore. Still really love the game though .😊
This is the fist video of this type that ACTUALLY had things in it I not only hadn't done, but things I didn't KNOW at all! GREAT WORK!!!
One of the surprises that I discovered is that Logrolf the Willful in the House of Horrors quest, had hidden plans. This Boethia priest had a hidden agenda to produce a sacrifice that would very much please his patron Daedra, but you and Molog Bal are going to destroy it.
Talk to Azzada Lylvieve and his wife Michel. They talk about a friend that had helped Azzada get off the streets of Markarth. This old soldier is Logrolf the Bent. Willful? Bent? There is a similar concept in those nicknames. Plus, Bethesda doesn’t like to repeat names of characters except to make minor spelling changes. No matter what, would you readily accept help from a priest of Boethia? Michel also mentions that in one of his last letters Logrolf mentions a ghost problem in his house, hmmm?!
To me is that Logrolf had planned to prop up Azzada then at the peak of his success give him to Boethia as a prize showing his devotion to this Daedra. Getting the mace from Molog Bal is actually a good thing as you prevent the murder of this good soul and preserve their family while denying Boethia one of her best priests.
Most people think of the conversations with the Lylvieves as a nice story, but it could have had a cruel fate.
Everytime I hear a new back story to a lore I feel like my mind is blown!
@@arwahsapi Thank you, it just struck me one day that there was a connection between these people. Michel’s comments clinched it about the ghost in the house. It’s very subtle but definitely there is the connection.
Willful?
Bent?
Bend will shout, now I see...
Fast travelling often (sure sometimes you need the fast travel to sell items) is a guaranteed way to make Skyrim boring imo.
I can almost say the opposite. I got to level 35 without using fast travel. Tried to be as raw as i could in that playthrough and man. That sh*t is boring. Walking through new areas is fun sure, but walking through the places youve been through countless times really is a drag. It makes you rethink going to locations just to drop loot and such so that was pretty valuable but doing quests and traversing land over and over again that you already traversed made me ditch that playthrough.
Agreed… I sometimes fast travel just to not get distracted because holy cats… how many side quests can they sprawl around the world? Amazing.
@@erikcancel5071 I play Skyrim for the adventure for what happens along the way. I’ve spent hundreds maybe thousands of hours in Skyrim and still discover locations and ways to traverse the landscape. But we are all differently.
You do realise that if you munch on Netch Jelly, or if the Greybeards hit you with Ice Form...
You'd have to change your channel name
getting houses for free is really easy in the switch version because you can use the amiibo spell to summon a chest anywhere that you want
Me not knowing Skyrim has a "sprint" button, when I lightly "run" around Skyrim so slow 😭😭😭😭😭
Yeah im playing again rn. I'm running a nord heavy armor 2 handed was my main to start. But of course I'll be getting op in every discipline though
Is it me or is this game fukin relaxing
There is also 3 hidden chests with a load of stuff in. one in Dawnstar, one outside Solitude and one outside Markarth. The one in Dawnstar is to the left of the entrance to iron breaker mine. The one in Solitude is just outside the city walls, where the khajiit sets up shop. The one at Markarth is behind the stone wall where also the khajiit sets up shop. The chests are invisible, so it takes a little searching to find them, but it is worth the time.
Those are the merchant chests. Yeah I was doing some dawnstar merchant stuff the other day. I. So glad they never patched it. It's just a fun thing.
Skyrim is my #1. I played it over and over again. I don't know how many hours I sunk in it, but every playthrough is different. The only other game which managed that ist NFS most wanted (2005).
Chronic back pain is a falmor conspiracy 😂
We all have refused to move on
Now that Skyrim is 13, Diddy is willing to play it
I feel bad for fast travelers. They miss a lot.
You have to actually go to a location before you can fast travel to it anyways🙏😂
The first tip was so exciting that I couldn't even finish the video.
basically most enemies are flammable and with the machines switch out fireball for lightning
My favorite is when I spam balgruff and he says “not now” I don’t know why it’s satisfying
If Bethesda was smart they would give us a new few new DLC’s worthy of Skyrims reputation. I’ve been playing this game since its release, and the mods only made it better. I’d gladly buy a new DLC if they made it the size of the original game.
I thought it would be a cool idea that you go thru a portal and are sent back in time to be a part of Ulfric’s uprising maybe even earlier when Winterhold was destroyed.
#7 reminds me of a crazy video by ""The Spiffing Brit":
he stored a whole bunch of enchanted armor in a barrel near a jail, got arrested, escaped, put armor on, got arrested again, escaped again...
then when he finally "served his sentence", he wound up wearing ALL THE ARMORS AT ONCE!
i'm not sure if the Defence stat stacked, but the enchantments sure did!
The first one is kinda true, but after a certain amount of items or weight, items will not appear in their inventory.
Chronic back pain is just a thalmor conspiracy lol😂
I just started playing skyrim a month ago. It's awesome! Though I figured out a few of these on my own. What's better than dropping your stuff on the ground is putting it in a chest, barrel or whatever place you can that doesn't count as stealing then have your follower take everything from inside. Much faster.
13 years and i never thought to try no.1 on the list😂
There's things that EVERYONE knows by now and then there are proper tips. Here's 3.
Instead of going to the place requested, fight the Ebony Warrior whilst in a town, right after he's told you his nonsense. He can't spam shouts anymore and you have space to move around properly.
There's a Dragon in Blackreach. Find the bit where there's a Falmer worshipping temple. Above it there's a big gold glowing light thingy. Use the Unrelenting Force shout on it, you hear a "Dong" and a Dragon flies out.
There's a Dragon in Solstheim, tucked away on an unmarked island. Go find it.
Everyone knows about the dragon in Blackreach. Also, I have a vague memory of the Solstheim dragon but I’m not completely sure. Where is this unmarked island?
When I first played in 2012 or so, the first year I didn't know about fast travel !!! Lol My son was watching me one day and he was like why are you walking from Whiterun to Solitude?!
And now we have people doing just that by choice
Quite a useful tip, never thought of saving the books for later
Cast an element cloak before using Become Ethereal sometime. Your enemies will be taking damage the whole time they're wasting attacks on you 🤣
I don't know why people keep listing clear bugs as "Features".
Tell me what the difference between cheating the gold for a house in console and doing what this guy mentions?
Talos amulet bug literally breaks the game with no cooldown shouts
I always do the Angi quest near the beginning of each playthrough and spend a few days with her. Feels very training montage. Plus her bow is a decent enough starting bow.
Skyrim and fallout 4 are masterpieces.
Agree with Skyrim being the top one among great others (Morrowind, Oblivion,...) of TES videogame franchise, but the true undisputed masterpiece of Fallout series is New Vegas. Fallout 4 is pretty good but not so great than his predecessors, even ranks below Fallout 3 despite better & updated graphics.
I love how this game is 13 games old and I’m still learning about this game. I’ve played it with my dad and siblings since the day it came out.
My dad took my sister at like 12am for the release and everyone loved that my sister (who was like 9) was there past her bed time lol 😂
Fast travelling goes back to Super Mario World where it was star travelling.
As someone who just started playing Skyrim, sometimes the directions are really confusing when starting missions especially when you’re not familiar with the map yet. But so far, it’s been amazing.
Oh. Random Skyrim video on my feed. Guess I’m playing Skyrim now.
me having hundred thousands only from theft in skyrim be like " houses are expensive buhahha"
backpain is just a thalmor conspiracy🤔 - to No 6: or just install a mod with a nice home in a style you like there are many to dl from a cabin up to fortress.
The thing with Bleak Falls Barrow is, you get sent there from Riverwood to get the golden claw.
Something i have been doing recently is starting the block skill to 15 again, finding a giant and using my sheild to block them with a healing power in the other hand. You have to be pretty strong to do it, but it levels your block starting at 1 hit then goes up to about 10 hits. Each time block levels up your characters level goes up a bit until you level up. You get 3 or 4 perks out of the whole process each time and it takes about 10 min to do it
Chronic back pain is a thalmor conspiracy lol
There is one unlucky 13 year old kid named dovahkiin in the world…
The carry weight i have a clip of doing it in first gen vanilla skyrim in 2011 somewhere i recorded to show my friend at school how to have the followers carry everything you have but make sure you give them potions so they dont die and get one that know how to heal them selves
i've only had followers die twice, ever.
when they run out of health, they will fall to their knees and gasp for breath, and enemies will ignore them and come after you instead, and they will recover!
but watch out for enemies throwing spells like "Fireball" or "wall of flame", they can finish off your follower if you are standing close to them!
So I lost my thieves guild armor how do I find more to get the upgraded armor
Chronic back pain is just a thalmor conspiracy
To go along with the amulet of talos trick, you can stack armour and get close to 20,000 armour rating.
2000 septims? I've lost more septims down the back of my couch lol
i've been playing this game since i was 6 yrs old im now 15 almost 16 and i love your videos can you show your mod list
Anyone else watch these videos as a challenge?
Stealth wizard. ‘Nuff said.
How big a school bullied inadequate have you got to be to have your own torture chamber and victims? Creepy.
You can just put all your stuff into a chest or a barrel, and ask your follower to take all. Much quicker than picking stuff up one by one.
