How To Skyrim 

Okay, Enderal next, I guess? I was gonna do Disco Elysium but with the overall shout outs for Enderal, well, what do you all think? For those that don't know, Enderal is a big mod for Skyrim. Looks amazing, haven't played it yet.

Skyrim immersion: >be me >be legendary heroic dragonborn >kill the firstborn of Akatosh and save all mankind >be thane of all 9 holds and war hero who put an end to the civil war >be guild master of a revived thieves' guild >be listener for the night mother and assassin of the emperor >be arch mage of college of winterhold >have 3 self-made mansions across Skyrim >go to join the companions >Vilkas: "I'vE nEVeR eVeN HeArd oF ThIS OutSiDEr"

argonians can like breathe underwater and stuff, in a game with virtually nothing under the sea

Skyrim; the game where you start trying to roleplay a class but inevitably end up crafting iron daggers for 8 hours

This is how I play Skyrim: Crouch behind someone, quicksave, fail to steal, quickload, succeed, quicksave, repeat.

I too forget Bosmer are in the game

"I no longer work for EA" *Likes & shares video with religious intent*

I love how the “derived stats” section is just him running through a gamut of emotions.

What i want for Elder Scrolls 6. 1) Bring back classes and custom class. 2) Bring back Mysticism and spellmaking. Also the levitate spell. 3) Make the guilds more restrictive (being able to be leader of every faction in Skyrim without conflict is dumb) 4) Hire Chris Avellone or Kirbride to write the main quest. 5) Bring back the reputation system (there's nothing more immersion breaking than NPCs asking who you are even after saving the world or becoming the archmage) 6) Give each compagnion more personality and a personal quest. 7) Ditch that awful dialogue system from Fallout 4. 8) Don't have a fully voiced main character, for the love of Azura.

I played Skyrim so much that when I even look at the “start new game” option I get burnt out 😂

It is done. He's losing his mind. Elder Scrolls has broken him.

"As wide as an ocean, with the depth of a puddle."

_"Bethesda... dont use a scalpel, they use a _*_fuckin_*_ machette!"_ _"Bethesda was ready with the banhammer... and a blindfold!"_

Skyrim isn't really a game. It's a set of tools that modders make into games.

Some may call your videos junk, I call them treasures

I feel so validated by hearing someone else who uses light armor. Early in the game you can get sets like scaled armor that are at least equal to their heavy counterparts and with perks are even stronger. It’s also more fun because with heavy armor you’re weak as hell until you find the blades armor and from that point you’ll never find a better set until very late game.

In Elder scrolls 6 there will be 3 dialogue options YES! yes No... yes.

I like skyrim if only because it is like a painting that was only a quarter of the way done; the shapes and colors are blotched in just enough to suggest the picture and theme, but still just vague enough to paint the rest of it yourself with a fuckload of mods. However, you aren't allowed to use a straight paintbrush because those resemble spears too much.

In es 6 there will be only 3 skills attack,defence and healing

3:46 Imperials also have 'Voice of the Emperor' - arguably the most powerful Illusion ability in the game, because it works against enemies up to level 99 from day one. It's pretty OP.

Skyrim is a fun game, Skyrim is a POOR RPG. Skyrim is a good framework to build upon - With mods, Skyrim can be amazing.

"You won't find any glory on THAT side of the hole." Is that a challenge?!

Now we need How to Fallout.

"now on to derived stats" (emotional breakdown)

Unarmed is honestly one of my favorite ways to play Skyrim. There’s something novel about “Sir Fisticuffs, puncher of dragons”

Wtf this isn't mary-kate and ashley sweet 16 - licensed to drive. I've lost faith in this channel

Love the commercial referencing Magniolia

I feel like the only person who's played Skyrim and seen like 10 bugs/glitches ever

Fun fact! Some of the stuff in the block tree is also applicable to blocking with two handed weapons, such as Shield Wall, Quick Reflexes, Power Bash, Deadly Bash, and Disarming Bash.

“Now for derived stats” Oh wait, there is none!

Funnily enough, Skyrim is actually the Elder Scrolls game I enjoy the most. Enjoy the most. Not best. Enjoy the most.

A "How to Fable" Series would be cool to see in the future.

"You can critique something you love; in fact, you should, because it's how you grow as a person. By examining the things that you enjoy, and seeing their flaws." With this one statement, you've earned my subscription a thousand times over. I couldn't agree more wholeheartedly with this. In fact, I think we owe it to both ourselves and to the content we love to critique it: can we really say we love something if we bury our heads in the sand and ignore the parts that come up short? I think it shows a great deal more affection for a piece of content to be able to say, "this content is flawed, but those flaws don't keep me from enjoying it" than it does to just pretend something is perfect because we love it. We don't love the things we love because they are without flaw; hell, often enough we don't even love them *in spite* of their flaws but in part *because* of them.

"Summons get outpaced" *Laughs in double Dremora Lord*

I started playing during lockdown, first I made a pretty Nord lady then I switched to a Male Khajiit. This is the best game for being stuck at home honestly because it will take forever to even get half the accomplishments. (I'm new-ish to gaming, only completed a few so far & all since the end of March.)

skyrim is one of the most immersive experiences i can still go back to and have a blast with. until i have to level my enchanting and smithing for 15 hours

If you have videos, Khajiit Has Wares.

60X* damage for Orcs. 15X damage for daggers in stealth tree Double that with the dark brotherhood gloves. Double it again with the orc ability.

"Summons get outpaced...." Oh my sweet summer child, what do you know of fear? Fear is for the endgame, when the double dremora lords destroy all of your foes with ease.

Skyrim is like that game you play first without mods, then when you play with mods you cant go back to no mods

MAKE HOW TO ENDERAL TRUST ME IT HAS DIFFERENT MECHANICS

Gonna reflect what some others have said with how this is a pretty bold time to start going youtube full time there m8, sincerely hope that works out for you, at least it doesn't seem like it could be worse than working at EA. Also press F for all my monk bros. I don't hate Skyrim now nearly as much as I used to years ago, but getting rid of the hand-to-hand and unarmored skills is something I'm never going to forgive it for.

*Weird balancing shit in Skyrim not in the video* 1. Damn near everything including dragon's breath that isn't an arrow or getting smacked by a weapon counts as magic damage. Bretons nerfed but still op. Being breton makes it a lot easier to get to maximum magic resistance and by consequence near immunity to all sorts of shit. 2. Vegetable soup stamina regen has no cooldown at 0 stamina allowing for infinite power attacking. This allows you to kill things _very_ fast. 3. By late game the damage bonuses of two handed weapons are so marginal compared to other melee options as to be more or less strictly worse than two one handed weapons or a one handed weapon and shield as it is only a difference in base damage while smithing improvements and enchantments scale with leveling the same on every weapon 4. Companions level with you but most have level caps making only a few with no level cap or high level caps leagues better in combat than others late game 5. Windshear, a sword you can get near the end of the brotherhood questline, can stunlock any staggerable enemy to death. It being a one handed weapon further pushes one handed weapons from being the best melee weapons into true absurdity. 6. While duel wielding whichever weapon you wield in your left hand determines the swing speed of both during double attacks. This means you can have a sword and a mace but attack as often as the sword with both. 7. I'm not sure the exact math but destruction magic has shitty damage scaling that makes it probably the worst way to deal damage late game besides fists without doing some weird weakness to elemental damage poison shenanigans.

Skyrim was my first Elder Scrolls game, can you imagine how surprised I was when I played Oblivion for the first time? Star signs, attributes, completly different spells, just so much more possibilities and a completely different experience. I really wish they would have kept some some things and not simply cutted them away, let's just hope TES6 will bring back some of the old mechanics and doesn't simplify what we had in skyrim, but I fear that they will just do the same as in skyrim because it was such a big success.

Good luck on the full time Tuber gig my dude. Can't wait to see what you can cook up going forward. Cheers!

Skyrim engine is pretty amazing, especially the fact that it works at all. I love this game but some of the spaghetti code from bethesda software should be recorded for the sheer meme factor. My favourite is the plug-in refresh limit that ties the amount of plugins you have loaded to your framerate, that's a relic from morrowind code and can be fixed within 10 minutes with a dll file. Also I'm pretty sure unofficial special edition patch fixes more bugs as special edition has more of them

I love Oblivion to hell, but the micromanagement required to have decent stats and not be completely useless makes me wanna shiv my eyeballs out with a rusty Fork of Horripilation

The funny thing is, I have never played an Elder Scrolls game with conscious thought regarding the game mechanics. I just go in and role-play. I've never crafted daggers for hours to level up a skill or jumped around all over the place or what-have-you. I find it fascinating that people are motivated to do these kinds of things just to 'break the game', or need to do it to make it fun. This perspective is so alien to me.

I dunno why the meme is stealth Archer being the meta, personally I've found using illusion for calm then doing crit backstabs, calm against and repeat, as the most effective one.

You Sir are a great individual. I had such a bad day and I just needed something like this. Keep up the good work.

I'm really glad that stuff like Ordinator, Apocalypse, and Impervious makes a lot of the issues that Skyrim's gameplay has no longer a problem. New racial abilities that are actually unique, hell Argonians are able to swim faster, have a passive bonus HP regen effect rather than the Histskin power, and after completing a short quest of finding 5 chests underwater you can spit acid. It adds depth with what you can do as an Argonian, hell and the other races get stuff too. Dunmer are even given their ancestral call back after their quest. Ordinator allows you to create unique and OP builds, hell you can even make yourself into a D&D style mage with 20 spell casts that cost no magicka between rests even. Pyromancy is OP as hell as you can cause enemies to burst into flames upon death that hurt other enemies, who while on fire will cause fire trails and when they die they too will burst into flames. It makes destruction magic all the more satisfying. Level 100 skills offer unique gameplay changes that actively make you want to get them, like Enchanting, which lets you make an item with three enchantments once. Restoration is made amazingly powerful by allowing you to have new offensive plague related spells and having a stamina/Magicka/health regenerating aura that can go on you or allies, or damage enemies. Smithing is more worth while as now you have to choose between what kind of smithing tree you'd like to unlock rather than get both, you can improve workbenches and grindstones, and build a freaking Dwemer autocannon to fight for you. It just makes things so much more exciting, allows for unique builds, and most importantly can allow players to become OP as hell, negating the old exploits that have been patched. Hell, even block is useful now as you can do parries now that stagger opponents. Just makes combat so much better and has depth as well. And then there is apocalypse that adds hundreds of spells to the game. New summons in conjunction, old spells like dispell are back and are the biggest "no u" to spell casters because you can just negate enemy summons and armor spells to make mages waste magicka. Destruction spells got buffed with more unique spells that allow for better power scaling, restoration had stuff like curses and blood magic added to it, illusion has been buffed heavily with spells that allow you to see through the eyes of NPCs, and create copies of enemies to attack them for example. Alteration has the dispell spell now, can summon walls and bridges, and even added a visual effect that makes armor skills make you look like you're covered by the material you've casted. It's been mind blowing to just see how much better gets with just those three mods as it rectifies the three major downgrades that Bethesda did. Sure, Ordinator is complicated, but it's a good complicated cause it adds build diversity and fills the void of the bad power fantasy Skyrim has, which is almost none at all cause it relies on enchantments rather than skills.

Im still salty about mysticism. It was always my favourite in terms of lore, and especially in morrowind it had some of the coolest spell effects. Getting rid of it was silly. They ruined it in oblivion, they could have expanded on it and made it more unique instead of completely gutting it.

Glad to see you’re doing RU-vid more, I’m a huge fan of your content.

Wide as an ocean, shallow as a puddle is the best description of skyrim ive ever heard

Every time I go back and watch these older vids, I cannot believe how under-subscribed this channel is. This is easily some of the best content available on RU-vid for gaming.

I just want to mention that destruction magic doesn’t actually match the damage of fighting with melee weapons. Not even joking, no matter how much you spec into your fire or lightning spells you’ll never even match some guy with a mace and a few perks into one handed, from a mechanical standpoint it’s actually underpowered

The most fun I had in Skyrim, after almost 200 hours in the game, was playing an illusion stealth character. Casually walking into a dungeon, casting mayhem, sending the entire dungeon into a frenzy fighting each other, and just standing there, cackling to myself like a villain. And then conjuration to finish off any stragglers. And the obligatory feeling of power from enchantment/potion cycles letting me out regen an ancient dragon on legendary difficulty. I love breaking games :D

You know, after seeing these last three videos about Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim I have to say god damn, I'm glad that you are okay and back to making videos. I never knew just how much I missed you being gone until now that you are back to kicking ass and taking names.

I’ve watched this entire series probably ten times over and they never get old. I dunno how you managed to hit such a perfect niche in my small list of constantly rewatched videos but well done

I think it's a testament to the RPG experiences of the 3 games that in Morrowind i spend 5 hours figuring out my class and race, in Oblivion I spend 1 hour, and in Skyrim I spend 10 minutes or however long it takes me to make my character look good

I'd love to see you tackle the DLC and Factions, but honestly I'm game to watch whatever you're passionate to make. I appreciate all of your hard work and look forward to every video.

Any chance we might see a series on that *other* RPG experience that Bethesda made casual? These videos are amazing to watch. But yeah, good luck on trying this out full time!

I think I’m gonna go back and replay either morrowind or obilivion after watching some of your videos. When I was younger I thought the combat was weird because of how fatigue affected whether you hit an enemy or not, but now I understand the mechanics a bit more from these videos and I’m excited to discover a game I never really got into. So, thank you :)

I never thought I would hear someone refer to skyrim's skill system as complicated

Imagine if this man actually How to Shadowkey

Ah yes, the most fun modding sandbox ever

"Lock picking is easy" Me: Uses 83 lockpicks on an adept chest while cursing at every break😂😂😂

These how to “” videos are great. Amazing content and I eagerly await the next installment if such a thing is planned

Fun fact, the shrouded gloves give you double sneak damage so if you use the orc ability you could easily get 60 Times more damage.

The best way to improve Elder Scrolls 6 is to make "Pussy Slayer" an actual class. Let the players, become players!

Thank you for this timely review of Skyrim. I've been thinking about checking this out, and finally I found a video talking about it. Very informative.

I want to congratulate you for crafting a unique and truly enjoyable sense of wit. The whole walking-a-thin-line-of-madness theme really keeps a certain audience (including me) on its toes. You did a great job also of never breaking character in your commercials and they came a the perfect intervals. I found myself actually looking forward to the final one as you wrapped up the second-to-last section. This is true praise, and I hope it encourages you!

Skyrim is one of those games where every part seems inferior to another game, be it combat, story, or otherwise; but it somehow comes together to make a amazing experience. Combine it with mods, and I would say it is the best game ever.

My favourite secret tech in Skyrim is using quiet casting on Legendary. Depending on which difficulty you pick, your Magicka regeneration in combat is lower. If you are in perfect stealth, you have your max regeneration as you aren’t technically in combat. Combine with impact to wash opponents fast, and mitigate the need for having a massive Magicka pool.

You're channel is so underrated dude, you put so much effort in your videos and deserves more.

I love this video man. It seems like you had so much fun with it.

That laugh that turns into tears at the Derived Stats screen was beautiful! I still enjoyed Skyrim, but they really dumbed that game down!

No joke dude your videos give me so much joy and I’m thrilled to support you now that you’re doing YT full time for a while :D (also I would love more elder scrolls stuff including the faction/DLC videos! Maybe you could do a thing where you do one video per guild in each game or something? The oblivion dark brotherhood questline alone could be talked about for hours)

Perks in skyrim are always either like "you put three points into this skill and do 0.087% more damage with powered attacks" or theyre like "you can break the laws of physics by not being encumbered what-so-ever by wearing a suit of armour that weighs the same as a human adult"

Superb content sir. The editing is freaking amazing. Good stuff. SUB'd. Oh and you're hilarious.

4:56: wait, argonians don't have a 25% weakness to frost! They have a 50 resistance to diseases and water breathing. They also have histskin which allows them to regenerate health fast for 60 seconds. Also skyrim's enemies have unfair amount of health due to their absurd health offset. A draugr deathlord has 1000 health despite being level 30. The player can't get anywhere close to that without being over level 100 and putting all points into health. Also being a destruction mage alone sucks. For some reason the player suffers a massive penalty to all regeneration including f***ing magicka regen. So you don't know what your actual magicka regen is when you are out of combat. But for some reason, enemy mages can regenerate magicka just fine. And it's op. They can keep spamming their spells with their seemingly unlimited magicka while also keeping up a ward up while wearing their shitty robes, which is impossible for the player to do without 100 enchanting to get 100 cost reduction for destruction and restoration. They also have so much magicka at higher levels that shock spells aren't even worth using. Let's talk about how broken their frost spells are. Even with a 50% resistance to frost, you are going to get slowed down to a crawl. But when you use frost spells, they are shit. They rarely ,if ever, slow down enemies. Anything inside a dungeon is resistant to it and this has the most enemies that are immune to it(any dwemer machine, nord vampires,frost atronachs). Bonus: the temped sphere in kagrumez during the third encounter is immune to fire, frost, poison, paralysis and is 99% resistance to shock. Have fun being a destruction mage. It's amusing how the best way to be a mage is to get 100 enchanting to get 100% cost reduction and putting all the attributes to health and completely ignore magicka. In fact you don't need stamina either. Just eat a cheaply made vegetable soup if you want infinite bashes and/or power attacks. Basically, magicka and stamina are useless if you go for the efficient routes. I am not going to talk about the nonsensical narrative for most of the questlines.

"I'm going to be playing without mods" Me: *gags

earlier bethesda games: *have cool features* Later Bethesda games: I like it cut, G.

Christ this was funny. And informative! Subbed!

Strat edgy, if I could add to your analysis of Illusion. It's not just scaled back; it's practically removed. The highest tier of Illusion spells only effect enemies up to Lv25. Tldr: Nearly all spells are useless after Lv 30 thanks to level scaling. Between training, speccing, and questing; by the time you have the means to cast Master Illusion spells, you are likely at such a high Lv that Lv25 enemies don't even spawn. Unless you grind hard in hyper specific ways, you will likely NEVER run into a situation where Frenzy and Rally are going to be useable. The only viable way I've found to use Illusion is to ignore it and exploit Alchemy. Not to cheese the game, just to make it a useable mechanic. The same can be said about Wards and most Destruction spells.

Man, I had no Idea what this guy was talking about for 15 minutes or so until I realized that I never played Skyrim without modding it so heavily that it becomes almost unrecognizable.

dude you're seriously a good content creator. ain't nobody got nothing on you. that P-slayer bit at the end had me laughing for ages

First time I seen any of your videos and I loved this content!

skill that save you when you die - I GOT YOU HOMIE! in game me: yo wait why i die? where is my god damn skill?! skill:

The merchant chest system seems to be in place for modders. It keeps the inventory for a merchant within a cell. Which makes it easy to edit, if you are modifying a location already, and need to modify their inventory as well. That seems to be the only reason I can think of at least.

Been binging your elder scrolls videos but your comment about critiquing what you love finally reminded me to subscribe. Great stuff. ^_^

No joke you are the funnest RU-vidr I've ever watched.

"Not really useful enough to justify going into the menu and fucking around with that shit every time you want to use it" * Describes way more than half my skills and mod list *

Oh man did you pick a rough time to go full time on youtube, good luck my guy!

just for those amazingly mindmelting custom elder scroll themed ads, you earned yourself a suscribe my friend, and a like

I've been binging your channel all day, you're hilarious lol. That is all.

The perk system definitely was frustrating because of the snail's pace you get it at. My two favorite mods were the Ordinator perk overhaul (making all trees much better, giving love to unarmed) and having the ability to turn dragon souls into perks. Basically changes the game entirely.

Good luck on going RU-vid fulltime, man! I think you have the potential to become the Mr. Plinkett (RedLetterMedia) of Video Games.

Im working through the backlog, lol. Fun to hear my friend nick rekieta get a shout out in random places like this.

Beautiful video. Thanks for the content.
