It's Skyrim again and I'm still not the Dragonborn, although, I'm starting to think someone else might be. Subscribe for more gaming videos! RU-vid: / @marenji1 Twitter: / marenji1
Hi Everyone, I wanted to talk about a couple of things so will just write a comment here: First of all, I wanted to express how grateful I am for all the nice feedback and comments. I'm new to editing and work on these for fun after I finish at work. It takes a lot of time so it makes me really happy to see it pays off and people enjoy it. One thing I think I will stop doing is putting the "Creator like/heart" on almost every comment. I want to show that I appreciate the comments, but if I put the creator like on almost every comment, it has the opposite effect and singles out anyone that I don't creator like. I read every comment, and really appreciate any feedback you have. I also wanted to mention the music I used in the video in case anyone wanted to know: 00:00 Morrowind Theme 02:00 Summer (Tropicala) - Stadew Valley 02:40 Clock Town - Majora's Mask 03:47 Pirates - Wind Waker 04:42 Dwarf Tavern - WoW 05:20 Ordon Ranch - Twilight Princess 05:33 Fairy Spring - Wind Waker 05:52 Herd Game - Twilight Princess 07:05 Realm Overworld - Zelda Spirit Tracks 07:38 Mario Sunshine Boss Music 08:41 American Venom - RDR2 09:15 Covenant Dance - Halo 1 10:29 Vs Bowser - Mario Sunshine 11:34 Fortress Boss - Super Mario World - Smash Bros Ultimate 14:55 Elden Ring Main Theme
This would mean you would have to find things like wuests yourself without using map markets and you would only know you're low healthier or cold or hungry due to daily routine or if you hear your heart beat. There is also how your screen looks when those things happen. It'd make it more unpredictable and scary.
@@sunfloweralchemist03 That's a really interesting suggestion, I'm really busy lately so I can't promise anything soon but I'll make a note of it and I might try it for one of these type of videos in the future.
you have some of the most unique content ive seen, your voice is abslutely amazing and your humor is beyond fuuny, thank you so much and im subscribing rn, just like everyone else should
Getting an alternate start mod and playing Skyrim as a non-Dragonborn, only going through the world based on what your character would logically know, is the way to play. You go through the game's content in entirely different ways. Or playing as a character who doesn't know they're a dragonborn yet, and thinks of dragons as flying unkillable death machines. Got to level ~50 on a character like that before I felt my character would be confident enough in their strength to take on a dragon and start the main quest.
Imagine if you were the Dragonborn’s follower. That’ll be pretty rad (assuming NPC “protagonists” are more merciful than us PC players. Also assuming they don’t get their hands on the ebony blade)
Omg now imagine this but in permadeath. This would probably be like to actually live in Skyrim. I would literally just stay in Whiterun and become an alchemy merchant.
Me: "Hmm, idunno if I'm actually gonna watch this.." Marenji: "Now, we are on a legendary shopping trip for salt..." Me: "You had my curiosity.. but now, you have my attention."
Non-combat skills are the true path to godhood in the Elder Scrolls, though. A maxed out Blacksmithing and Enchanting skill can make you infinitely more powerful than literally any combat skill could ever hope to. At best, with only maxed out weapon skill your weapons will deal around 78-81 damage for high end weapons. By contrast, if you have no points in a weapon skill, but use maxed enchanting and blacksmithing to make items that improve that weapon type, you can get upwards of 180 damage without having ever invested a single skill point in that weapon type. And that's not utilizing literally any bugs or glitches, that's just Vanilla Skyrim enchanting and blacksmithing.
@Benny it's always very strange to me that Christians feel the need to quote Scripture at people in totally non-religiously related videos, or non-religiously related comments everywhere they go. You're not even the largest religion in the world, and even if you were it would still be weird to just go around quoting scripture at people with no context. I'm a gay transgender atheist, no amount of scripture quoting at me is going to 'save' me, if what your religion preaches is true.
@Benny Say what you want. You're still the internet equivalent of a Jahova witness. Only instead of door to door, it's video to video. After knowing the cruelty of catholic nuns my mom had to endure for writing left handed and the practical sadism of 'converting' native Americans, even going so far as to outright kidnap their kids to bring them to the barbaric facilities, Christians and Catholics have no horse in the game for altruism and piety.
You're doing great with this concept! Very intriguing view of a cabbage farmer come reluctant hero. I'm curious to see if you get Goldenhills Plantation first for your home.
I replayed Skyrim so many times that most of my characters usually never find out about his destiny as dragonborn. They are normal guys, with magic or combat skills, so I can relate to this lol
me too after a certain number of hundreds of hours shouts become obsolete because i know almost everything about the game i don’t think i’ve used shouts as intended for years only infinite shouts because haha or not at all
@@VortexKiller2late reply but i have floating damage mod and when the bandit pulls a lever i can see that he gets damaged instantly before darts start to fly leaving only a few health points for the trap to kill him
If you want the full "average person" experience: -Alternate start mod -Level cap at max 10 -Remove enemy levelling Yeah, try fighting a lvl 50 frost troll at lvl 6. That gives you a better idea of what the average citizen of Skyrim experiences
What if there was a mod for an npc to be the protagonist, and it’s sole purpose was to do every main quest for the main quest line(Dragonborn). A sort of alternate start where you watch everything go down in Helgen from either an imperials pov or another prisoner
Now with AI like chatGPT so advanced, I really want a mod that AI controls Dragonborn, AI makes choices takes on quests plans adventures etc, while we players can be as DB’s followers that support this Ai DB.
ChatGPT kinda sucks shit at anything other than the very specific thing it's designed to do (imitate certain styles of written text). it falls apart at anything requiring factual or logical consistency, so I'm not sure how well that would work
i love this concept so much! playing as a reluctant farmer and becoming the dragonborn's companion is such an interesting idea, and I'd love to see more out of this!
Subscribed immediately at 9:20 when I heard American Venom and then Covenant Dance back to back. Awesome stuff dude, you've inspired me to do my own playthrough of Skyrim similar to this. Nice to see a small content creator putting out good content with a ton of effort in it to boot. Keep it up!
This is a lil strange to say but i always put on some RU-vid videos to watch until I fall asleep and usually they end up being Skyrim videos because it’s one of my favorites game. I saw your video and was like haha that seems like a funny title but your voice is so soft and nice that this is the perfect video to fall asleep to. You’re actually funny and not just the loud = funny type of creators. Very entertaining
Really enjoy your voice and personality, feels very sweet, and calm, enjoyable content as well, found myself wishing the video kept going! Also thanks for sharing the music you used, some good choices! Looking forward to more!
i felt the golden claw part i started a new game the other day and speed ran though bleak falls by memory and i can’t even find where i set my phone down 3 seconds ago
Oh this is beautifully done. Greetings from a fellow Skyrim content creator. I love it that you play on legendary survival with no exploits. Not many would even dare to and then with these rather harsh rules, especially when it comes to levelling up. Microphone quality is top notch and the added sound effects and videogame music: just great and so entertaining. You put a lot of work into this and it shows. Quite a few a lot more established gaming youtubers would be proud if they could pull of what you did here. Bravo! Of course I liked and subscribed and am looking very forward to what is coming next.
Stumbled across this after the Spiffing Brit crazy runs. I am enjoying your playthrough and want to see more. Keep up the great work and thank you for the fun time.
Erik the slayer is probably the real chosen one. He's literally a dorky farm boy who goes on a journey away from his tiny hometown in order to be an adventurer. I would use creation kit to give him dragonshouts for you, but i have literally no idea how to do that.
I really enjoy your voice, and think it suits this side character role you've taken on so well. It's very passive and every time you have a "what the" reaction to something, it's so much more comedic.
The Champion of Cyrodiil, the unsung hero of the Oblivion Crisis was just some random normal guy without divinity, living in the Imperial City before being imprisoned for his crime(s).
Yeah, I think there might be a bit less of that in this video as there was in the first. I like a combination of both, but ended up with less narration in this one. It depends on the situation and the later half of this had very little as I was mainly just exploring a dungeon. If I continue with this I'll probably aim to have a more overarching narrative for each video so more narration would be likely.
I loved this video (I think I missed the first few of them, so I should go back and watch those), but can I suggest that you rework your sound volume in editing? I had to turn the volume on my laptop almost all the way up to hear you, which isn't normal for most YT videos. However, sound quality is fine. It's just a volume issue.
If I remember correctly, never doing that Whiterun mission at the beginning keeps the shouts from being unlocked and also keeps random dragons from spawning.
I tried this one time with my nord character on a modded playthrough, I played the game for quite a long time just doing regular quests leaving the dragon stone in bleak falls, it was really fun actually
Wish there was a mod that would make a Dragonborn NPC that would finish quest in a realistic timely manner on their own, as a companion they give you their quests and if done you would see the cutscenes unfold infront instead of being directly involved, and depending on how you helped him as a companion determines his/her answers if you never help them on their personal quests it would be all neutral comments etc etc. honestly I like stories that don’t have you as a main character just a side character with MC energy. Imagine you are running all your own side quests or the civil war and modded quests and out of no where you get a main quest complete notification. And as you travel you actively see the Dragonborn traveling to each main quest and actively interacting in them activating certain things like from helgen being destroyed to whiterun going on lockdown to the first dragon attack to the civil war being put on ceasefire even the thalmor party, Out of now where the sky looks crazy and a few hours or a couple of days in game later you get the notification that Alduin has been slain at that point the dragborn just chills and drinks in every inn in Skyrim until asked to be a companion.
Faendal wouldnt go into the spider room because you have to wait for a follower to complete your move order before you cancel the selection mode, or they wont complete the order.
When I read your restrictions I could only think: Congratulations, you are gonna play a stealth archer. One of, if not the most powerful build in Skyrim. But the idea is nice regardless of that little nitpick xD Tbh, this is one aspect I really really liked in Oblivion. You were not the chosen one but just a dude that happened to be in the emperors way. In Morrowind, you were the chosen one, but nobody knew, not even yourself, until very far in the main quest. In Skyrim well: just visited the first city and you and the world know (though the world never acknowledges it aside from two questlines) that you are divinity itself walking on Nirn.
I have to admit, I do enjoy being a stealth archer, so I made sure not to eliminate that option when I made the rules haha. I have mainly used a bow and sword and shield so far though, haven't had a chance to do much sneaking.
I love starting out as a peasant like this and slowly working my way up as a courier until I get me a plot of land and a few noob levels. Then I just play normally, though with a strict class in mind. I use a mod to turn off skills I wouldn't use, of course, because Bethesda seems to have forgotten that key feature of the roleplaying game: *C L A S S E S ! ! !*
One of my earliest playthrough I was too afraid to wander the cruel and ruthless world of Skyrim I just chopped woods by the river doing honest work until I could afford a house in whiterun
Honestly, if the goal was to mimic mundane normalcy in combat, I would've gone with the Wildcat mod on Adept difficulty, instead of plain Legendary difficulty. Wildcat makes enemies quite a bit smarter, adds an injury system, and changes a few combat mechanics - overall, combat is quite brutal if you aren't exploiting smithing and enchanting. Other good mods could be: Missives (adds a quest board to towns/cities) Notice Board (adds a quest/notice board to towns/cities) Headhunter (revolutionizes bounty quests, bring 'em in cold or bring 'em in warm) Lawbringer (capture bandit camps for the law) Ordinator (changes all of the perks, makes for quite the different experience) Notice Board, Missives, and Headhunter make bounty hunting more fun. Skyrim lends itself well to mercenary work. Lawbringer is great for a 'normal' character if you decide to join the war, or if you just want hold guards to be more prominent.
On my game, I have a set of that blue-looking armor. 2 different kinds, in fact, on the still-frame picture for this exact video where one full set can help me out with stealthy stuff and the other set is good for just normal, but somewhat powerful attacks. Very cool. Can’t wait to use the stealth equipment, because, since I recently got the perk to let me upgrade stuff, it apparently made the pieces a little stronger on upgrade. 😁
I've done something along those lines before too, for the beginning of the game anyway. With various mods, I started my game with very low skills, stats, no magic and so on, and I began as the eldest daughter of Azzada and Michel Lylvieve of Dragon Bridge, and sister fo Clinton and Julienne Lylvieve. I was essentially just a peasant's daughter whose jobs were to help my dad on the farm, help my sister at the inn, and occasionally bury the bodies of dead Imperial and Stormcloak soldiers who died too close to the village thanks to other mods. My goal was to not become an adventuress until something happened in the game to give her an actually good reason to do so. Said event took place one evening when I came home only to find a nearly naked man in the house... who swiftly turned into a werewolf and killed my mother. As I stood above the corpses of both my dead mother and her slain murderer, a bloodied dagger in my hands, I swore to get my revenge against evil lycanthropes, and left my house to begin my adventures for real. It was a pretty cool start to a Skyrim playthrough.
I'm confused by the rules of no heavy armor or two handed weapons? I don't understand how those aren't considered fair? Also, I always give Faendal a shield and sword with a full set of armor right off the bat so that I can let him be the distraction while I take people out with my bow lol. It works really well. You would be surprised how often he chooses the sword and shield over the bow. He switches back and forth between the two and will help me shoot people from up high and then he will also tank for me. All in all he is a really helpful follower early game.
The beginning of your play through was the same as my girlfriends😂 sue went around everywhere looking for salt, although she stole everything she saw before she got salt😂
