Remember, don’t use iron daggers to level up smithing. Use transmute ore on all your iron to turn it into gold so you can make jewelry which is way more valuable and can gives more smithing experience while also leveling alteration at the same time.
True, it's more useful for high level stealth casters with the quiet casting perk so you can make them fight without them aggroing on you and when the person you casted it on dies you can cast it on one of the survivors. It's not really useful but it's fun if you're doing some sort of special playthrough or something
@@jamsam2100 yeah, without mods Illusion is kind of worthless. If you play as a vampire, and you have the necromage perk, AND you constantly stay at maximum vampiric hunger, you can get your illusion to work fairly well. I think you can pacify up to like level 50 if using the master spellls. If every single enemy in skyrim level with the character tho illusion would be useless by level 30.
worst pain is getting shouted at by a powerful draugur with the disarm shout while duel wielding your two favourite blades and you lose both of them and can't find them so you have to load your most recent save just to not lose them again. truly the only thing in skyrim that causes me agony and despair
Have you seen a dog out there? Have you seen a dog out there? Have you seen a dog out there? Have you seen a dog out there?Have you seen a dog out there?!!
Marcurio is an absolute chad of a follower. Not because he's a good mage or anything, but because he knows where all the traps are and activates them to show you so that you don't activate them by accident.
@@doodlebug7 Sounds like she joined the Vigilants of Stendarr. Seriously, though, that's weird. Marcurio killing Meeko makes more sense, as I think he hit Meeko one too many times with a spell and caused Meeko to become hostile.
@@miciso666 ugh, I married farkas, and he gave me some quest that I can’t complete bc apparently I killed whoever it was on another previous quest so now it will just never be done
One of the greatest things about Skyrim is that it connects a whole damn generation of people together on a spiritual level. All of us have been there and all of us... have shared the pain.
If you hurry enough to get even one hit in before the giant dies, the companions are instead like, "You handled yourself well. You would make a good shield sibling."
You forgot my greatest pain of all. Perching above a bandit camp with 100 stealth, completely undetected, line up the perfect bow shot, only to realize you're shooting at agents from the Matrix.
Here's one way to tell if you've played too much Skyrim: if all (or most) of the situations presented in this video have happened to you that means yes, you wasted several hundred hours of your life... This is my case too
Or when you’re following a quest marker but you end up leaving through an alternate door and the game demands that you backtrack through the building’s original door for the quest marker to actually guide you 💀
No "instantly getting executed by dragons/Two handed bandits the moment health drops to half health'? No "Killing Lydia/follower with a stray arrow or destruction spell while fighting enemies"? No "Crappy treasure at the end of long dungeons/caves"? No "Never should have come here"? So much pain left unmentioned, friend.
@@JarlBorg93 I was speaking merely out of my own experience, since I killed Lydia by accident while trying to shoot an arrow to some random draugur. But as it was already explained, certain characters can die if you kill them yourself.
im not a egotistical man. but the day i was fighting a wiild mammoth and a giant cane to its rescue and after a long fought battle a dragon comes from nowhere before i can even cut the giants toe off. but really what crushed me that day.. wasn't the 100 ton mammoth or the horrendously low skyrim space program budget. but... the fact the dragon disengaged combat with me to fight the higher priority. a literal goat on the side of a mountain on THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VALLEY. then a saber cat killed my horse. so I had to walk up a mountain horseless. to finish what that dragon prick started....
I got one recently that acually gave me a headache: was doing the Dawnguard DLC and main quest sort of simultaneously. Had Serana with me, totally unwilling to leave my side. Started the quest to get the Imperials and Stormcloaks to the peace summit at High Hrothgar. Sat down around the table. First time ever doing it, super stoked to see how I could influence things. Serana takes the seat next to me. No problem, great for roleplaying. The second everybody starts talking, she will not shut up. "Yes, what is it? Yes, what is it? Yes, what is it? Yes, what is it? Yes, what is it? Yes, what is it?" The whole time. I was gritting my teeth, I had an actual headache. Genuinely finished her quest right after beating Alduin and then told her to go get cured of vampirism so I'd have some time to myself. Just brutal, and to add to it, every time she'd speak, and I do mean every 3 seconds, her subtitles would cut off the dialogue of the other characters, so I couldn't hear them or follow along. It was like being on a work call and having to deal with a small child.
Oof! I feel your pain. I do not like free moving "essential" followers. They're annoying. The seven levels I had Serena the first time of starting the Dawnguard DLC was seven levels too many.
Pinnacle of Elder Scrolls. All you want to do is sit down and enjoy the world, and the game just actively fights you every single step. It's almost always some microaggression you never think about until it's in your face.
Haha she does like to stand there endlessly repeating the same line of dialogue. _It’s… not as shiny as I was expecting; still, it’s beautiful…_ Hearing that line repeated innumerable times will fucking haunt me for years to come.
5:03 That is actually quite accurate in real life. If you fall from a high...height (well shit), the water would feel as solid as an asphalt-paved ground. Minecraft physics is full of lies.
Except if the water is deep enough in skyrim, you *don't* take fall damage. So it is in fact minecraft logic we're going off here. Its just unfortunate we really can't see how deep that water is from a certain height.
i know a more funny one. you are in the middle of something and the damn dawnguard decide now is the perfect time to ruin a sneaky kill attempt. or when they crash your dragon party and gang up on you 4 to 1.
Makes sense. After all, it was a mere courier who destroyed Caesar's Legion, sent the New California Republic running for the hills, destroyed an entire chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel, and solidified Mr. House's power over the Mojave.
Then he gives you another inheritance letter which if you already have another in your inventory, the new one becomes a duplicate of the first and it becomes impossible to tell which NPC died. Great scripting 10/10.
This is the best video on youtube, please make a sequel including “the expert lock chest with 10 gold in it”, “the dragon skeleton appears on top of you when you fast travel” and “general merchant has 10 gold to spend”
I just pay Neloth for enchanting lessons when enchanting hundreds of iron daggers becomes torturous. When he maxes out at 90, I get the Scholar’s Insight power from one of the Black Books that gives you 2 skill points per training book instead of just 1, and read the enchanting skill books to get to 100 and get that extra effect perk.
He's just not open on Loredas (saturday) or Sundas (sunday). It baffles me how this is still a mystery for some people, but the fact that I'm Scandinavian and weekdays in my native tongue is similar to those of Skyrim might have given me a headstart.
My personal list: - casts invisibility, still seen by bandits - insta killed by dragon when at half health, - Delphine - mages spamming frost storm - high hrothgar frost troll - dawn breaker casts turn undead, which blows away nearby treasures - Mzulft is literally just a long corridor - talking to vex - going to morthal or winterhold and there is always a dragon
I'm sad to see that the pain of getting disarmed by some random death lords shout and then permanently losing your enchanted daedric bow because your last save was an hour ago {of days in game of trying to summon the right one} isn't on this list.
Incredibly accurate video, especially with the dragons descending and Belethors odd opening times. Oh my god I just watched further. The backwards power attacks completely missing is way too relatable. 😂😂
I've yet to have a problem with Belethor. It's always War-Maiden's that's open and closed at wild times for me, which pisses me off b/c they're my go to place for offloading my unwanted weapons and obsolete armor.
@@gableprescott7405 Yeah. Their opening times are annoying too. If I can't go to either Belethors or Warmaidens to drop off all my useless things, I just go to Riverwood Trader instead.
I was doing that forsworn quest in Markarth the first time, and while beating up that dude outside of the Warrens, I accidentally punched one of the onlookers. Got a 40 bounty.
There is no worse feeling than completing the quest line in Markarth about the reachmen and becoming friends with them only for your horse to immediately attack them once you fast travel to their base
Getting trapped in a death loop was, is, and forever be the worst one for me. The first time it happened i didn't know what to do so i started a new run. Weeks later i realized that you can lower the difficulty level and with that, you won't get one shot. My heart still hurts until this day.
Every couple of years: "This is it. I'm finally gonna complete the game. Gonna do everything I missed last time. Got my backstory and build all set. It's now or never." Five game sessions later... B U R N O U T.
You need new content really. That's what would keep me going. Playing the same exact thing 4 times you just get bored easily after that initial dopamine trip of the new mods you installed.
lol this is exactly me, been playing since launch and still have never played a build past the Horn of windcaller quest before having a new character idea and restarting
@@blakearmentrout7717 Same. Why the f would i play this over elden ring lol Better builds, better combat, better graphics (even w mods i play nolvus) Every quest is go retrieve something, or clear bandits lol. idk how people played this since launch...i beat it on release and remember being like FUCK this when i starter a mage character and didnt pick it up again till recently...same deal
I thought you did a great job with this! But you forgot my 2 worst ones. 1 when a follower decides not to help you in combat/do anything 2 the children in whiterun that just be mean to you and you can't kill them or the guards will start attacking you.
If I had a nickel for everytime Lidia actively moved in front of my arrows in a fight or the number of times she alerted the enemies while I was sneaking, I’d have enough to fund the next elder scrolls
@@guitarmama06 this is quite rare for Serana since she is a mage and mages usually dont get close to the enemy. Plus, the ice spikes dont have knockback.
I honestly don’t like having lidia as a follower, my first play through she died to the first set of cultists I encountered, my second time through she died to my unrelenting force while I was trying to get a vampire away from me, damn annoying.
2:36 It's not the fact that Draugr Deathlords can Shout you across the room that bothers me. It's the time it takes for the Dragonborn to get back on his feet that made me want to yeet the game out the window.
The followers not opening chests or doors, blocking paths, friendly fire and walking into obvious traps is what gets me. AI is the way of the future, until someone codes it correctly lol
There is only one thing that i ultimately fear in Skyrim, the goddamn ice wrath bug, when named creature's texture is bound to your legs and there's NOTHING you can do, there is no cure, only suffering. You don't even have too face it. I also think it happens when you fast travel through mountains and your fast travel path crosses the Ice wrath's one.
Also the draugr eye bug you get from using Aura Whisper too much, even when playing in first person you can still see the afterglow when you move around, it's distracting (which sucks because Aura Whisper is the most useful shout to me)
If you ever have trouble waking up in the morning I reccomend setting up the Meridia's beacon dialogue as your alarm ringtone. One time i jolted awake fully and threw myself out my window
Here's a tip i figured out: if you're stuck in a death-loop like in 5:14 the problem is you can't open up your inventory quick enough because of a bug where you don't have control of your character for the first few seconds after loading a save. When that happens, load your save, and while the screen is still black open up the console by pressing the [~] key. This will pause the game, so you can wait a few seconds so that the game loads your ability to control your character. After that close the console using the same [~] button and you should be able to instantly open up your inventory to drink whatever health potions you need.
weeps openly in switch version I have it on PC too, I've just loaded it up with a ton of mods and I don't know exactly which ones broke after an update
The other problem is that sometimes quicksaving is unreliable. You can quicksave when a mob is 5 good, long seconds away from you. You'll quickload and the mob will still be there - and then on the next quickload he's suddenly right on top of you.
This video is so well-compiled and edited for maximum comedy, thank you. Those zoom-ins were MASTERFUL, and clips with character lines were timed perfectly. Astrid's little "must have scared them off" at the end of the Murder You compilation had me chortling, and you really captured Marcurio's best hits. 😂😂
1:07 thats how i got up the mountain my first time. i couldnt find the path so i just kept jumping at the wall with my horse, slowly gliding up the mountain
It's because by just looking at it Ermaeus Mora posessed you and you want to know everything about the game as he slowly absorb your soul craving the game even more thinking bugs and crashes are normal making you learn more
Very accurate, there are few things more annoying than meridias beacon, nirnroots, and couriers and the stupid follower getting stuck in the GODDAMN WAY
What's so hard about Nirnroots? If you find the noise they make annoying, just pick them. Now, if you'd gotten the mod that replaces the chime with it screaming "I'M OVER HERE!" then I'd understand.
The random barrel outside stuffed to the brim with the dragonborn's stuff really did it for me, oof. Don't know if you've ever had this problem, but one that I always run into is giants repeatedly spawning at Windstad Manor and deciding to wage turf wars on my front lawn
Or draugrs near the home in the northern marshes i forgot the name of. Once i came back to my Lakeview home to find Thalmor agents scattered around and my horse had disappeared. Turned out I was able to buy a new one so i guess the previous, missing one had died. What a strangely epic story you could draw out if this ! The horse that faced alone a Thalmor party attack on its two-legged friend's house, defended it to the point of being deadly wounded, and disappeared while on his way to call for help... Or it might be that a dragon flew by the house and saw snacks, so it rained fire on the snacks who fought back and just grabbed the other snack to take away. We'll never know.
I didn't realise you could just put items in containers for ages so I left my extra stuff beside I think it was the Greymanes' house, I'd open the gate say hello to the cow drop or pick up what I needed, thank the cow for looking after my things close the gate and carry on with my day.
In case anyone is wondering what happened at 7:05: Player is absorbing their own spells - you can see a subtle white/blue-ish effect as soon as the summon "fails" (this effect is more prominent in third person). If you plan to play a summoning build, don't increase your magic absorption (ie, don't use The Atronach Stone).
This is actually beneficial if you have Skyrim Anniversary Edition Because there are plenty of summons that still work even with 100% magic absorb active, such as the Necromantic Grimoire summons and Ayleid Lich. Arvak and Daedric Horse can also be summoned without fail
7:00 only happens when your over encumbered. What about when you go to open a chest, and try to back out before the menu opens and now you have 2 menus open.
The fact that random debris on the ground can damage you is the main thing that puts me off a 1hp run. Don't like the idea that the Divines can choose to remove my living privileges at seemingly random
For me, the marriage ceremony is one of the most stressful procedures in the game. I always end up having to wait forever for the priest to arrive. And once everyone is ready for the wedding to begin, the priest falls silent as the guests keep congratulating me non-stop.
For me, the absolute worst is suddenly realizing I must have accidentally killed Lydia 5 hours ago and just not noticed until now. That’s why I always switch to Serana as fast as I can
Dude I feel that 😂 I was running around the world one day when I didn't see Lydia anymore and I backtracked to try and find her only to find a courier carrying the death letter 😂
@@KeepCalmCapybara when protected characters fall they crawl on the floor so you mostly cant see them on your screen, but they’re still in the hitbox of your weapon. If your crawling through a dark cluttered Dwemer ruin, it could be hours before you notice you tapped her when she was completely hidden from you and her body flopped off a ledge
Lost her in a dragon fight. I used Dragonrend which is supposed to only affect dragons but she was like right on the edge of a cliff and the falling over animation sent her off a cliff. I was like "RIP Lydia." and kept going cuz I hadn't saved in awhile and wasn't about to backtrack hours of gameplay for her.
I've recently made an Argonian wizard..My pet peeve is the constant heavy breathing when swimming eventhough Argonians can breath underwater...Oh and the odds of freezing to death when leaving Winterhold
I inevitably had to get put of survival mode I could handle not being able to carry anything and having to cart everywere And hunger and to redness taking up all your vision The stomach noises when traveling by cart Be cold every five seconds Dying 39times on the way to high wrothgar bc of cold The list goes on I was playing as argonian btw
@@sidimightbe3246 Everyone slowly gets cold, but even an Argonian will have enough time to run up and down the steps multiple times if wearing warm armor
@@LibraritheWizardOfficial yeah j had full steel on and that's a lot of warmth I had to climb as a werewolf so the cold didn't kill me basically werewolf sneak I don't know how the deards did sea me and eventually was am again
You forgot to add the never ending loop of dialogue from the guards.😂 "Heard they're reforming the Dawnguard, vampire hunters or something. Might consider joining myself."
- Horse charging into Elder Dragon encounter. - Getting a new written quest in journal without asking. - Died or stuck after long progress, and forget to quicksave before. - Fast travel accross map but forget follower is still on "wait here" mode. - Accidentally click the wrong item to sell. - Yes, this vomit guy 4:40 , also that archer Gauldurson boss, they both annoying. - And of course 3:10 , "a nEw hAnd..." Btw, nice compilation, land strider. May your road lead you to cloud district very often.
The vomit dude gave me HELL when I tried fighting him during my mage build playthrough. Immune to all spells AND shouts so I had to use a dagger with my one handed level of 15 for like 30 minutes. It wasn't even particularly hard, just really tedious.
did u know the archer gaulderson guy is the only one dropping rusted arrows. wish i knew that before i started collecting some neat stuff. but i got like 4 of them so i could always make more.
A tip for orchendor for those who struggle with him: Bring him out of the battle room, (i like to drag him all the way back to where you fight the centurion just to be safe) and start using a stagger move + regen pots/stew. If he is out of the battle room, he wont teleport away. He does still use the warp animation and reset his spells though, which is why you have to keep him paralyzed/staggered. remember folks, if there is a problem in skyrim, there is *always* a way to cheese the fuck out of it
@@richiepipes8960 idk man, at this point i don't see how ppl struggle with anything in skyrim lol except for completing the main quest without getting bored out of their minds, I still struggle with that one
Just do the Forgotten Seasons or The Cause quest (CC content, both available for free on Anniversary Edition) Both quest will reward you with a horse. The Cause gives you a spell to summon Daedric Horse while Forgotten Seasons gives you the ultimate horse that is immune to damage (including fall damage) and has infinite stamina: Dwarven Horse.
I can tell by your Assortment on Clips that you are a Seasoned Skyrim Pro. Only one whom has played this game to the Fullest knows of all it's True Suffering.
I was fully expecting this to only be the cart on its way to execution, the horses and the cart getting stuck and starting to rotate wildly. The first moments of Skyrim. I would've been fine with that haha.
My favorite is when you're like level 20, you've got a good selection of armor and weapons, you do all the quests in a hold, buy a house, and become Thane, and your reward is... An enchanted iron sword. Gee, thanks, I feel so valued and respected with this gift. 😂
Im playing with a faster levelling mod. Only after 10 years have i levelled smithing. When youve played skyrim this much I feel like the levelling gets sooo tedious.
There is one specific dungeon, which has a trap, that has the most amount of those giant spikes that come out from the ground. It does not hurt that much at all. It is just *very very loud*
