Can you live as a Normal Person in Skyrim on Survival Mode? 

All paths lead to stealth archer.

Lmao love when Camilla greets you at the door and calls you "love". And then immediately Faendel starts talking about his feelings for Camilla💀

I would’ve never guessed this was your first video, everything was very charming and flowed seamlessly. Skyrim videos are just too fun, hope to see more

It's fun to get immersed in a role while using survival mode really makes it more immersive having to run to taverns to avoid the cold and get rest etc (I run survival on master mode I thought it was expert but honestly couldn't tell the scale difference.)

I think a great addition to this playthrough would be the Skyrim Unleveled Mod. It makes it so that the world doesn't level up with your character, and instead enemies are fixed at a certain level. It makes it feel that you are a part of the world, instead of the world revolving around you

Can’t believe how many of you amazing people have somehow found this video, means the world you’ve enjoyed it! I’ve got another couple out on the channel which I’m sure you’ll enjoy 😀 And so many more ideas on the way!

This is sort of like “A Day in the Life of a Skyrim NPC”. A relaxing watch, well done!

Don’t make quicksilver ingots; sell the raw ore to the mine owner outside, you get a higher profit because they buy the ore for more than half the profit of an ingot.

I live for this kind of immersive RP.

I enjoyed this, though I think your definition of a normal person and mine are slightly different (Jaree-Ra). You helped Faendal with the false letter to Camilla supposedly from Sven. Before you mentioned feeling evil, I wondered how he felt when you hired him, then married Camilla. Serves him right for his lying letter, but you'd better watch your back. And Faendal was one of the three people attending your wedding. You felt bad for what you did. I felt bad for laughing.

This is exactly the chill video I needed! Appreciate it.

you made it into youtube's recommendeds today. congrats

Acting like some random person in Skyrim can be one of the most entertaining things you can experience. Starting as a lowly miner, up to getting thane hood in a city; then finally getting your first house. May take dozens or even hundreds of hours, but it sure is fulfilling completing it.

when you pick crops and sell them to the farmers it makes you friendly with them and you can take there stuff and even there horse like outside solitude

I'm such a sucker for the "adventurer retires to live a simple life with a family" trope so this video was very satisfying! Great job on this 👍

You should definitely make more Skyrim videos people don’t really post it much and it always puts a smile on my face when I see videos like this

Can't believe this is your first video. Well done! I'll definitely be sticking around to watch your channel grow 😊

THIS IS YOUR FIRST VIDEO???? The amount of talent thats showcased through voice overs, immersion, and editing is incredible!! Props to you mate

This video was so wholesome. A man, whom had lost everything and one he'd ever known, he gets it all back, and is living better than he was before. So heartwarming. :)

Very impressed with how Sven narrowly escaped death in the ship, well done Sven

This was an excellent first video! Maybe some more challenge runs in the future? Your cleverness and resourcefulness in this video is interesting to watch.

This video has done unbelievably well for a first video... and the channel has grown unbeliavably big for being a 3 week old channel. Congratulations, also I really enjoyed the video.

Poor Faendal 😂😂😂😂 Oh I laughed so much at the moment that Faendal came to the wedding 😂😂

If any of your future content is going to be like this, then this might be my new favorite RU-vid channel. Like if you make a chill playlist with videos that have this tone and talking. I never watch plays with talking, but this is a total exception that I would keep on often.

I think that the pace of the commentary made the video interesting and relaxing. I enjoyed the story of the character, the usage of the mods, and the hilarious tale of the cucked plantation worker XD This was a very creative and fun video, this is a great start!

My latest play through in modded Skyrim (when I’m not playing Morrowind, Oblivion, Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3 and Tears of the Kingdom) is an older Altmer who is a reformed ex-Thalmor refugee who although a powerful mage and skilled swordsman lives a humdrum quite life with his wife and kids on Goldenhill Plantation and Breezehome and does what he can in small ways (such as radiant quests for people) to atone for his atrocities committed (which included killing his once best friend who was a member of the Blades) in the Great War after becoming disillusioned with the Aldmeri Dominion.

This was so well done and played. I didn't even realize you where a smaller channel until I got to the comment section. This was just as good, if not better than most of the more popular ones out there keep it up! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!

I love this! I am doing the same thing on my playthrough, but a little different. I escaped helgen and decided to become a farmer and lay low. Found a wife, then my neighbor died and left two daughters orphaned. So I took them in. I deliver baked goods to the entire hold over a month with a weekly trip. Got a hefty retirement set aside. It's good 😂

I've been wanting to try a survival run. I like your idea of combining it with a mod story line. I might give this a go.

Trying to live a "normal life" in Skyrim? You can try. But as everyone finds out, there's no such thing as "normal" in a world like this. The call for heroism is strong in Tamriel. The random encounters, bandits, giants, dragons... they aren't going to just leave you alone. Even if you stay in one place, they'll keep coming after you. Because being a chosen of Akatosh, one does not shirk responsibility.

The farm is critical for survival mode. Maybe you can use a mod to make tomato plants growable, and you could grow tomato, potato, leek and cabbage for vegetable soup. Also for potions, scaly pholita, creep cluster and blisterwort makes for a powerful fortify illusion/carry potion. All 3 ingredients are growable and really help with leveling. Combine that with a rich merchant mod and you get some serious ca$h

"normal person" (Assassination missions) (Sniping) (Dungeon crawling) I...guess normal everyday life in Skyrim is weirder than I thought

I cant remember how many times i have woken up at Goldenhill's Plantation, with Camilla and found bloody Faendal standing at the foot of the bed. Or i fast travel there, its morning, and he is leaving the place! He is not my follower.. He's a STALKER! and also a perfect candidate for a Boethia quest! xD

I love that you made a story and narrated the playthru, thats what made me watch the whole thing. great post!

This was a pleasure to watch. Brought back so many good memories 😭

Looking forward to more amazing content from you! I loved this video and the fact it's your first is really mind-blowing, good job!

At no point during watching would I have ever guessed this was your first video, this was really great all round. Loved the idea and the execution, also great to hear a more familiar voice than American RU-vidrs being from the UK myself! I don't hit like on many videos, but I was sure happy to like this one and subscribe. I'd watch your back though, don't think Faendal is too happy 😬

Well done! I love the "survive game as normal person" challenge idea.

I always love to watch videos like these especially if the editing and commentating is good... like a semi or full modded with someone making their own advanture never get bored of watching someone play skyrim like that.

Would be great if occasionally in this mod some chad in ebony armor went running past you fighting a dragon lol

youtube homepage delivers again. nice video

This was an absolutely fantastic video! Can't wait to see more, was absolutely dying with laughter at your treatment of poor faendal, he must be the shell of an elf now 😂 only improvement I would say is see whether you can get slightly better capture quality of the Skyrim footage, its a bit grainy and the contrast is too high, other than brilliant job man

I've been looking for someone doing a challenge like this! and you did a perfect job putting everything together! can't wait to see more content from you in the future! and I'm inspired to try it out myself!

The true experience to play Skyrim for me is when I turn on survival mode in legendary difficulty, with tons of mods I don't need any other games. Thanks todd, it just works

always wondered what the dragonborn would do if they weren’t the dragonborn, guess you answered that question haha! loved the video, can hardly believe it’s your first, looking forward to seeing more!!!

I love just living. I work as a vampire alchemist out in falkreath, using Lakeview Manor, and sell my wares in whiterun

this is the beginning of a great channel. keep up the good work Vale!

I just got recommended your channel and am very impressed. Some things I liked a lot: Very chill voice, calm demeanor Story line was simple and immersive, very easy to follow Just enough mods to make the video entertaining Not too short, not too long in video length Keep up the good work. I will be watching more of your videos. ❤

Great Skyrim vid to watch while kicking back to relax, great video just subbed to your channel can't wait to see more vids in the future P.S love your accent

Your video came along just as I was coincidentally toying with the idea for such a playthrough myself. Excellent vid. Pleased I came across your channel. Keep it up.

This is amazing! I was shocked to see it’s your first video! I’m so excited to be on the lookout for new videos on here! Perfect chill vibe 👍🏼

You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber! Glad I finally came to my senses and watch this video!

I love the alternate start mod! And this video is really good as well! It's fun playing survival mode as a roleplay. Makes the game rather challenging

I've never tried mods yet, but I really like this chill play and that custom Rorikstead house. Also, love the idea of a different start, then manually trigger Helgen if I want. Thank You and the RU-vid recommendation :) Liked and subscribed :)

Popped up in my recommendations. Never heard of your channel, expected to watch about 1-2 minutes, ended up watching the entirety. Great video, subbed straight after

Sick concept dudev thanks

If someone had shown me this video and said "This was Vale's first ever video", I would've called them a filthy liar lol, this is so well done and I'm fully expecting your channel to blow up in popularity

Blue mountain flowers and blue butterfly wings are a good early potion that sells for a good amount

This is a great video, perfect to watch on a lazy sunday while sipping coffee. Hope to see more from you in the future! Cheers!

"it's been costing me so much money to keep this hunger bar up" lol god relatable

I always play as Sven or Ragnar the Red 😂 that’s so funny

10:30 i can say with certainty, those guys know no bounds when it comes to teaching you a lesson. I was doing a pacifist run, and i did the mistake of accidentally stealing a bottle of wine when i tried to talk to the Bar Inkeeper. For the next in-game months, i would encounter them every turn i take, every corner, every town...they're determined. Even during the thalmor embassy quest, they somehow made it inside borders (so did my followers) but this time....i say this with a heavyheart, but the thalmor saved me.

Absolutely AMAZED how few subs you have considering the quality of this video. Keep at it and you’ll definitely grow like crazy in no time!

Cool video dude! I love your chill and relaxed comments and playstyle.

Good video. I love skyrim. My favourite game.

Also im pretty sure you can grind wheat in the mill for flour, and make bread with it, only problem is you need a few other things from the farm, but mainly salt which has to be bought and cant be made

Came here from this video being on my recommended; I don't often click on most of them because they don't interest me, but this one intrigued me as it's something I have dreamt of doing but never really did in Skyrim. And the video is incredible! Succinct, fun, and your voice is very soothing and gentle; pretty much everything I look for in longer-form videos when I'm not looking for intense and loud stuff (and especially after today! I had a tooth extraction and loud videos have been causing some pain, so finding this video has been a godsend lol). You've definitely earned a subscription from me, and here's to hoping more of your videos gain traction so that you can have a wider audience because these videos are incredibly well-done! I've already seen your Starfield video also on my recommended, so it seems like it's going to happen, and I'm totally excited to see where your channel goes from here. Off-Topic slightly, but is it cool if I ask what mods you're running besides Survival Mode (or in this case it looks like sunhelm possibly?), if you're cool with sharing? I know some creators aren't and that's totally cool if you aren't either; if not the entire modlist then at least the mod that allows you to build farms and such? I'd love to add it to my own load order :O

Congrats on 16k likes AND almost 14k subscribers!!!! You seem really awesome, you have gained my subscribership, a like, and a thank you for helping me reignite my craving to play skyrim!!!!

this is so cool

I love this content and your voice sounds genuine and is really nice none of the fake online voices you hear Edit: I can't believe this is your first video too bad I won't be able to binge loads

Good stuff there, nice video - would love to see You expand on the normal guy living in Skyrim idea, its a winner

This was awesome keep it up. Speeding the video up was really funny when they talked, it was really high pitched

I don't think a normal person would be able to snipe every enemy so easily nor know how to use magic

It was cool until you started just playing the game normally lol. I thought you were gonna be hunting and trading and stuff like that.

Really good stuff man keep up the good work, I’m glad I found this!

I haven’t even played Skyrim and this was super entertaining. Nice job!

Good video mate but i cant believe you dogged faendal like that

New Skyrim Video Here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rwBvpS2PBtU.htmlsi=uyz-UyvLjcGIBWBU Loved making this one, although I did lose my mind

6:26 that kill cam was smooth af

Somehow never got into Skyrim but this vid was chill AF. Thumbs up m8!

Check out my latest video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A68k-PKQ4ZU.htmlsi=g5OS53vbkqkxARsL It’s a fun experiment on Starfield, trying to break the ship builder with my ridiculous designs

Check out my latest video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sXbT_UXbruM.htmlsi=ez0LG6nssU3jGsqc - Part of a new series, I think it’s my best one yet

This is great mate, keep building your channel!

Loved the vid man, I’ve only played Skyrim a few times but this has expired me to redownload it and try a play through like this. Awesome content man, keep it up!

One of my favorite parts of Skyrim is the early leveling adventure and how you really have to pay attention to stay alive, especially in survival mode. I liked how your character starts from nothing and heads to the mines and crafts his first gear out of raw materials. Nice video!

this is your first video?! great job man holy!!! id love to see some more roleplay videos like this. 10/10 would watch and recommend. subbed to you

Nice video man watched all of it. It was like therapy ❤

funny and cool, thats this video. Loved it😂

This was a nice and relaxing watch. I have always wanted to do something like this, but scared of failing super quickly lol.

Excellent first video. You've earned a sub, my man!

did a challenge similar just just did allot more restrictions and was on legendary survival...super hard and very rewarding. just cant fight anyone though. basically had to farm deer/elk, rabbits and any thing that was a beast to level up my bow. then to level up my shields literally had to let crabs beat me up while i ate cooked food to heal up. also to add i was only able to start crafting and actually learning how to make potions i had to find recipes. reading books about things too that would allow me to level certain skills. some odd reason adding restrictions made the game allot more fun for reruns of Skyrim. I hope you had fun and had a blast. will most def watch more vids when you post them. subbed for sure take it easy Vale!!

Awesome video! I would love to see more chill immersive rp runs

Amazing video man no annoying edits and really cool voice keep the good work up and ur be big in no time

Always nice to see fresh and new Skyrim content, and really impressed by your effort on liking and commenting everyone's comment!

Oh my God, this made me laugh and smile wndlessly! Keep up tge wonderfully off-beat challenges- this was rather interesting to watch being played as a normal adventurer.

I watched the whole video, didn't skip a thing. I even watched all the ads through to make sure you get that sweet revenue. And to find out this is your first video!? Wow, outstanding mate. Never subbed harder. Really enjoyed.

this video was great!!! the only thing that was a little off was the lack of background music in the in-between parts, i think a little low-volume bg music could help it feel a little less empty when you’re speaking :) excellent video!!

Such a great video. I love this so much.

This was so cool to watch! I can’t believe this is your first video. Good job!!!

What an amazing first video, I shall watch your career with great interest
