Skyrim Moments The Developers Didn’t Think Through 

actually the one with astrid killing her in the shack was intended as a choice, notice how she says well done when you kill her, she was the intended target who had the contract on her head.

i have been playing FO4 quite a bit but i noticed something, in skyrim all NPC's have follower dialogue regardless what NPC you use, when forced with mods or via console they all have generic follower dialogue, but in FO4 they have none of that, they pretty much go silent as there was no dialogue recorded for that kind of thing in this game, so you can't even properly play with an NPC that you want because they just go mute and they also don't reuse their other dialogue. it's so weird that bethesda offered that in their skyrim game but just didn't offer that kind of thing in FO4 as if the player would ever want that, in skyrim i can make any NPC my follower and they either have the generic follower dialogue or they reuse their dialogue and say the same shit over and over lol. they just made skyrim better in that way i guess. it's kind of a inconsignificant detail but it matters because sometimes the player just wants to have some player choice in the way the game is played, like having kellogg as a follower or something.

@@user-tp5yb4hr4w You also have a contract on your head.

Okay, so like.... what did saving the wizard do tho?😅

​@@user-tp5yb4hr4w Wow..... brilliant

Plus, even if it was, the man’s eating a pie, not soup. He has no use for his spoon /j

not to mention he’s a serial killer

Ysgramor: uh...thanks?

Dragonborn: So…. do you eat soup with a fork? Ysgramor: No… what the fuck happened in Skyrim while I was gone?

@@talord_ No he's not. The Snow Elves attacked him first.

Maybe even become your companion after you, yaknow, saved his life.

​@@yesseruit's a morrowind reference

This is the same for when you use elderscrolls in Oblivion (Which I think you can only do at quest events, but concept still applies) The player shouldn't be able to safely read or use them at all, but the scroll recognizes the hero's path your on and will not hurt you permanently because you have a destiny to fulfill - one that is foretold by the elderscrolls themselves.

In previous games, it is just a fancy history/prophecy book. Todd just stupidly gave it the function to flashbang people when he made Skyrim to make it cool and make you feel special with the ability to read it

One of the books you can read in-game titled something like "The effects of Elder Scrolls" touches on that. It says that people go blind from reading them without special preparations, but if they do not understand what an Elder Scroll is or what it's used for, that effect is significantly reduced (they get flashed like dragonborn does). So, getting blinded is for the nerds.

@@SecretData001 Oblivion had the lore of people going blind but you never got to open one yourself, only watch NPC's open them at specific story moments. The game blocked you when you tried - probably partially because the special effects were harder to pull off then.

@@SecretData001 technically the ones you read are: fake, created by that bastard falmer vampire -- remember he brags that he invented a fake prophecy solely to get a Daughter of Coldharbour to him (so it's probably artifacts of Molag Bal that mimics an Elder Scroll, no wonder VIGILANT had Molag Bal create a fake Amulet of Kings to give to Marukh, then), and an Elder Scroll (Dragon) that was likely tampered with by Dwemer until they could read it with their machine, and "reading" it opens a spacetime rend for you to peek into, which is not something the scrolls should do, more something that Dwemer fuckery plus an unmended time-wound would account for.

I think I'm too stupid to get why it doesn't make sense... Is it just the distance?

I mean, they're city guards, not fighting the war itself, the Stormcloaks likely don't have the skill or manpower to go after the rest of the DB and it makes sense that city guards would hear things since they're constantly talking to travelers being let in, and if the Imperials are dealing with the DB it is resources and manpower the Stormcloacks *aren't* using in the civil war. And after it ends the windhelm guards would be saying it anyway.

Penitus Oculatus is an Imperial organization. Stormcloaks aren't an Imperial organization.

if you complete the civil war quest as a stormcloak and do the dark brotherhood the pentius oculatus agents will still be there and at some point they say "this place is swarming with imperials"

@@MikeMozzaro why would the storm cloaks, who oppose the imperials, want you to report to them that you eliminated the dark brotherhood leader, is why.

Spawn camped my man outta his grave😂

Castlevania 2 moment

"Goddamn it Alduin why didn't you kill him!"

Then you see two Dovahkiin arguing over your soul like wtf. 💀

​@@Smiley0.1 oh yeah nice reply

His reaction is also solid

It sure was !

You can tell that for a few of these, plenty of quicksaves were used lmao. especially pickpocketing the golden claw with a Pickpocket skill of 15

Miraak to Alduin: You dont seem to understand, this world isnt yours to conquer...

@@FoxInnaHat Miraak: I didn't kill you because I had a plan. But my plan is changed now.

i want to see this

I would so love that just so I can finally end her.

​@@FoxInnaHatalduin dies skyrim people: Thank you! Miraak has freed us! Miirak: oh i wouldn't say "freed" more like "under new management"

It's his canon event.

He can be saved. But he just runs off in a sprint through Solitude

​@@yohopirateAnd then dies of a heart attack.

In my recent play through I used “The Voice of the Emperor” and it stopped the execution but after a minute the guards and townspeople started attacking me… 💀

He's stands there like "well, I didn't expected to get this far, now what?"

I suppose, in a very simplified way of saying it, he inherits from a base NPC class, which provides the most basic NPC behaviour - and with some of his own things like "Too slow!", he just keeps doing what he knows, and nothing more. Plus the Pacify effect prevents triggering his hostile response for the Dragonborn's interactions.

Even better, he’s immortal until you cut the web! I encountered this interaction on Saturday, running my first illusion character ever and wanted to get some early levels

@@robiodopio Illusion is so much fun. Frenzy enemies, then calm the last survivor, steal the gold from his pocket and slit his throat. Or feed him to a summoned monster. Great fun! Yes, I realize I mentioned thief, assassin and conjuration skills. But how do you end that? Muffle, invisible and let the last guy live? Yeah, right.

@@danbauer3669 if you dont have muffle you can use an invisibility potion and sort of crouch hop away so they only hear you every ~5 feet. Got me out of a stealth pickle once or twice.

I've done something kinda similar in some playthroughs. The random event with the Skall hunters facing the "mighty Netch".... I healed the Netch, and gave it a Courage buff. Needless to say.... The hunters lost miserably.

@@DataDrain02 imagine being that evil and lying to your comrades saying "KILL IT GUYS! I'M WEAKENING IT WITH MY MAGIC!" 😇

"You handle yourself well"

Bro threw healing hands

I'm a murderer, but.. *pulls out a healing spell*

You have the hands of a healer!

I tried pickpocketing astrid while she is burnt, she got up and started beating me with her fists, then Nazeer killed her and she thanked me

i was losing it

Missed opportunity for humor, they should have had him comment on it. "Oh, my soup spoon! Where did you find it?"

Why did I find the werewolf casually carrying on a conversation so cute lol

You're either the bravest person I ever met, or the biggest fool. -Ireleth

"You are making a mistake..." should legit be one of the response options in this scenario 😆

Lol given all the dialogue options, I’m imaging the werewolf being genuinely concerned for its life 💀

*soup spoon

Here comes the choo choo train

If you run up on stage, they'll all target you and Roggvir can escape, but then he runs towards Castle Dour. I found him dead on the ramp leading to the smith while dozens of guards were running towards me.

Later on in my play through I brought him back alive with console commands inside the Winking skeever. I run into him every time I visit the place. It's a little awkward.

Perhaps you had a mod? In mine he runs around for a second and then auto-dies.

yes, he always auto dies @@thaumatomane

Him dying is scripted can change that without a mod

God's precision

My thought was : I wonder how long it took to actually make that shot hit.

btw what spell? Is it Paralyze?

@@SecretData001 probably yes iirc

Me who hates almost all of the Dragonborn DLC so i dont even do the story line so i dont have to deal with Miraaks bitch ass

I think it's really cool when it's reveled that the Dragonborn is actually the leader of the companions/ the Arch-mage/ the listener of Dark Brotherhood/ A Nightingale instead of a random level 7 nord in basic iron set carrying 74 cheese wheels

Yeah-like her body was too weak to handle the healing magic so it just gave out under the strain. There’s gotta be some limitations to healing magic after all, or else nobody would die lol

How does this only have 25 likes lol

Joov also got the journals early in his 'never leaving windhelm' video, that whole quest is so damn stupid

@@daymuntaku6590, It's also, ironically, one of the better written quests... which tells you how crap the writing of Skyrim as whole was.

​@@aralornwolf3140It is, unfortunately, also horribly bugged and just never starts in some playthroughs.

​@@unbearable505I don't think I've ever completed it because it bugged out every time at some point in the quest. Starting is never an issue though.

​@@daymuntaku6590 I mean you get a cool house halfway through at least

What

Me trying to max out Pickpocket cuz i want Psijic Robes

​@FoxInnaHat but isn't Quaranir immune to pickpocket

To not force a werewolf to not pay the toll is racist against werewolves!

-government

Werewolf: Can you make people pay tolls if I bite your head off?

The cool down wasn't necessary, the slow down wasn't part of saving the guard, it was to give viewers a better well... View of what's going on.

It's a special situation, the cooldown immediately ends so you can use dragonrend on Odahviing.

@@suggestagoodnameformeplz1035the cooldown between calling for the dragon then shouting him out of the dragons range

​@@m3371did you see how much delay there was between the two? that seems achievable without glitches

​@@m3371The game actually does that itself for this quest, because you need to be able to use dragonrend after calling the dragon, but call dragon has a very long cooldown.

He told a Windhelm guard (Stormcloak) about it and they directed him to go see an Imperial Solider.

@@CosmicGoku529 That isn't a problem though, enemy or friend there if there is a group working to stop the Dark Brotherhood then you'd want it stopped. You don't want them to assassinate your leader and they are a neutral factions so the DB is a threat.

​@@Buglin_Burger7878 yes but it's clearly just copypasted from other guards due to being in a guards faction list If they'd thought it through like you say they'd have different dialogue.

In the midst of some End-Of-The-World Scenario, Ysgramor just stops everything he's doing and just goes "OH MY FUCKING GOD, DRAGONBORN THANK YOU FOR RETURNING THIS PRICELESS ARTIFACT"

Imagine if he took it, said something along the lines of "Take it, this old friend of mine has served me well" and then he gives you his Fork of Falmer-Killing. You can poke falmer to death 200% better, dealing a whopping 3 damage to them, and you can eat soup with it!

When Ysgramor finishes his workout, the gym takes a break.

Before god said, "Let there be light," he asked Ysgramor, "Can light let there be?"

Ysgramor doesn't climb trees. He just pulls them down and walks on top of them.

What do you mean? how does he soft-break your game? he only has a CHANCE of stealing a dragon soul, it doesnt happen every time.

But sometimes he does it pretty often. I wouldn't call it soft-breaking either, but he does definitly have a chance to take like 4 to 5 souls one after another making you feel like dragon fighting isn't really worth it. Also, depending on how far in you are, dragon fights might not be that common yet. It happened to me in my first playthrough, I fought deagon after dragon and he just stole every frickin' soul. I definitly thought the game was broken. Little did I know I had just bad luck, but that still sucked majorly.

Yep, happened to me too on my first playthrough. It was still very early in the game. I couldn't progress the story, because I had no dragon souls. I killed over 20 dragons and he took over 20 of them. I got one dragon soul out of 20, because I thought that time the game glitched and Miraak was supposed to get them all. So I had to kill that mf Miraak severely underleveled and defeat him Dark Souls style. I just thought, the game was very, very badly designed.

@@nickyliu8762 Yeah, this just sucks. I think that they intended people to meet him much later, but the nature if the game does allow you to meet him way too early, making the fame a living hell unless you play through his storyline. I mean, if you start it and get to the point at which you meet him, you will have to struggle mich more. Then, if you dont his cultist assail you as a random encounter and they aren't exactly weak. So you either have to deal with frequent battles or have to basicly go through the entire DLC to not have to suffer through endless dragon fights ending with Miraak taking your souls. So in a way, the game is badly designed. Yes, the chance of him stealing the soul might be low, but it still happens a lot and can soft-block you for a good part of the game. An the quest is called Dragonborn so new players will of course think its patt of the main quest, especially with how long it is! If you just get a full edition with all DLCs, you probably wont have the knowledge of all the DLCs and what they do. And for me the worst part is the horribly glitchy final fight afainst Miraak, where he can basicly just turn invincible, by staying in his ethereal for forever. It is tricky and annoying to get around this bug and it happens quite often. So initially you think thats how it is supposed to be and dont realize its bugged, making you run around the arena, until you see that it's bugged.

@@Baalslegion07, The bug occurs if you pretty much reduce his HP below the _hard coded_ amount he'll heal by with his dragon soul... so the game gets stuck in a loop of him "healing X hp" but can never reach the "full HP" which ends the animation. This happens when you're pretty powerful and can 100 to 0 his health bar in 30 seconds.

Or just have him comment "oh, my spoon! Where did you find it?" When you do it on the table in front of him. Then he takes it, and a quest update appears: completed: return Ysgramor's soup spoon. "Return Ysgramor's soup spoon" should have been a whole unmarked quest.

The soup spoon thing is because calixto made it up to make more money off it, it wasn't true

​@@leonrussell9607literally a random fork from dwemer ruins "Ysgramor's soup spoon"

I agree, he's described as being big but he doesn't seem all that much bigger than the other dragons, either

@@christophertaylor9100 And his level is relative to you (x1.2 or something). Which means in some cases his level is even lower than a giant

they are not bandits

she thanks you because the healing spell eases the pain

Bueno, la restauración no es exactamente magia curativa de bajo nivel, digo, salvarte de estar al borde de la muerte es algo posible con restauración... supongo que es diferente entre curar a alguien y curarte a ti mismo.

I guess it took him a few minutes to process and realize, he’s kinda talking to a werewolf. I know im 5 months late but thats Bethesda for you lol

Glad you like them!

The flying wizard happened to me three times. I think it's only on Solstheim, it's a reference to a random event in Morrowind I believe.

“That doesn’t sound like our problem, just let me know if you see an argonian demanding equal rights or whatever”

@Rainbowflicker 250 I just want to see if he has no one to grab… if you move them Odahving just flys off track to get him.

Nothing will happen. The dragon will just attack you with usual animation

@@rainbowflicker2504 they're not real people. True morality does not exist in video game worlds. They are digital play things. There is no suffering, no fear, no death. It's all a digital illusion. Try to not be so sensitive.

I mean. almost everyone in skyrim is a racist. and for good reason too

@@FoxInnaHat actually, almost everyone in Tamriel

Sell to thieves guild vendor then buy it back?

@@SunflowerLilypad Better than my method of giving stolen stuff to Thalmor prisoners and then retrieving it when they inevitably die 5 seconds later.

@@KradDarkson Big brain

put it in someone and take it back from their corpse when they die seconds later, so it is now counted as a "corpse loot" instead

i feel that

it's the same deal with dawnguard, first vampire attack they killed the whiterun smith and I was like "NOOOOOO, MY LOOT SELLER!" then did the whole dlc just to kill them all with fireball spam

The part they didn't think of is how a Stormcloak guard knows where to find the Penitus Oculatus which is an Imperial group.

I mean, you can get improved version of unique armor with ritual stone or via wallclipping with iron arrow without touching dark brotherhood questline at all.

@@lerarosalene ah

I destroy the dark brotherhood in all my playthroughs, except the one I created specifically just to see how their quest line plays out, even on my assassin/nightblade character... why? I can craft better gear, I can still get the gloves that double backstab damage from astrid/sanctuary, some of the npcs were just really annoying to me (vampire girl and werewolf dude) and lastly I feel like my character is just superior to all the assassins anyways, so it was a good challenge to try and take on a whole guild of assassins all by myself

@@findout2655 I join every time. It has more rewards in the long run and gives you more to do. Plus, you don't even need to hang around the sanctuary after you kill the emperor unless you want side quests for a thousand or so gold
