If Bethesda goes by this video's list of things casual players never did, they'll figure it's a waste of time making any quest that the player is not explicitly led into from the start. Also, no alchemy/crafting next time. On a positive note, even casual players enjoy classes, so maybe that's a hint.
Got a semi powerful pc? Look into the nolvus modpack, it actually brings back that sense of wonder you got in the first playthrough, the world looks incredible. The combat is super fun in third person with a combo system and active dodge rolls. My personal favorite are the new sneak idle squat and the fact that bows, quivers, and swords kind of move around on your character while you walk around. It HIGHLY recommend it.

something interesting with hitting him with mehrunes razor, the ebony warrior has the heavy armour perk that allows him a chance to deflect a strike, meaning you very well could've killed yourself when you hit him lol
Another fun fact, the perk works no matter who holds it, so you can give it to your adopted children…who will practice on a target dummy if you have one in your house. If you walk in front of then while they’re swinging you can actually be instantly killed
Skryim is such a crazy thing. Two guy's who've put literally thousands of hours into it can have had completely different experiences doing so. From I think 2015 to 2018 or so it was the only game I played. At all. I didn't touch a single other game in that time. And I still run into people who have done things I had no idea existed in it. It's madness
ikr? same here, only difference between you and me is that i used to play the game since 2011, i finished the game with hundreds of hours in multiple playthrough in different platforms in which i was either a warrior or a mage or mix of two. my main build is always mage. in January 2018 i decided to finally mod the game because i thought there is no way theres still quests i still didnt play myself or watch someone play them right? but to my surprise, 2024, theres still things i am discovering. sometimes im so surprised to the fact i discovered something in 2024 where i would google the quest/npc/place etc. just to see if its part of a mod or not at this point, im rushing to finish my modded game so i can 100% the game without mods. maybe only combat mods, graphical mods, bug fixes and stuff like that. but no mods that add new places or npcs or anything like that
i sometimes wiash i never got into mods for bethesda games. i only recently tried doing a "full playthrough" (which for me is all MAIN quests + whatever convenient sidequests). i used to fuck around with mods so much i'd lose my save and and have to restart, hundreds of times lol. fallout 3, NV, 4, TES 3, Oblivion, Skyrim, all of em
It’s actually super impressive how big the game is. I didn’t even know about some of the stuff in this vid. Crazy how big Skyrim is compared to the other Bethesda games like Starfield.
man fu*k all the people hating on you this was a great video. It’s super cool to still see people learning new stuff and having new experiences on skyrim so many years later.
@@James-mh4nn when the vid was like a few hours old there was only 15 comments and one dude had commented like 3/4 times abt “how stupid” he was for not knowing abt the dark brotherhood, i wasn’t arguing with anyone either tho i was leaving a separate comment telling the dude that despite those other comments it was a cool video
@@codeine.dreamz3913Admittedly this is pretty ridiculous. I’m betting it’s just the script, but it is a silly thing to say given the premise of the video. Overall this is high quality content though
Before going to Whiterun, I always go to the Riverwood Trader and speak with Lucan Valerious and pick up his side quest. That way his sister also shows you the best path to Whiterun and you get to complete two quests at once once you finish Bleakfalls Barrow.
It’s not going to be confirmed when tes vi drops as paarthurnax has isolated himself since the dragon war, Bethesda probably won’t mention him in a new book or piece of worldbuilding and leave it to the player’s interpretation
@@Nockgun The Emperor's death is canon even if you destroy the Dark Brotherhood. They have their own secret canon and your choices don't matter. That's why they haven't made an Elder Scrolls 6 or moved the timeline along in the other Elder Scrolls games released since Skyrim. They are shithouses who are waiting 'til we've all been killed off.
@@A9hl6fgx5ebisb72op Even if it wasn't, there's still quite a bit pointing to the unique aspect of prisoners, anyway. Besides. Bethesda would make things vaguely canon, regardless
I played Skyrim for years before I started a no fast travel playthrough. It was the most fun I've had since then. You can even find the Redguards, who are looking for Saadia, harassing other women who look like her before they are triggered to be in Whiterun.
i am currently playing skyrim for the first time in like 10 years and its so refreshing to see someone who is around my knowledge level to experience the game! nice video
So here’s a good trick Become the leader of the companions Then bring your radiant quest, giver, along as your companion Get the quest, recruit him then go to the location and complete the questthen un recruit him right there on the spot to get the next quest, then recruit him before he walks off again You end up traveling all over Skyrim with a good companion and doing quests super fun with a camping mod
You didn’t know about dark brotherhood? Man I wish I was you. Experiencing this game/quest lines for the first time is something I’m jealous of!! Awesome video!!
The dark elf is just an excellent choice for anyone who wants to do a bit of everything. Good at melee, sneaking, and magic out of the gate, and one of the most fun racial powers
The order of questing is such that the book is more orderly. When it comes to the game itself, it's generally the best idea to talk to everyone and gather all the quests wherever you are, and just complete them as you go. So for example doing the Mythic Dawn Museum quest as soon as you get the letter, and running into Vaermina quest and other quests on the way. This is especially the case with no fast travel.
@@briankelly1240 There is little immersion in joining side factions as a rookie after having slain the world eater. At this point every faction would crave your membership and worship the ground you walk on. But there is immersion in joining them before doing that, then becoming their leader after Alduin. It also makes sense to do a lot of side quests and dungeons before Alduin as that makes you run into word walls and dragons to power up before the fight.
you may have actually given me a reason to go through my New Vegas guide. I thumbed through it at first, mumbled "nyeh, more like guidelines than actual ruules" then proceeded to build the same fkn character for 13yrs.
It actually blows my mind that basic stuff like walking places instead of fast-travelling absolutely everywhere is some kind of revelation for people. Having played Skyrim since 2011, it's been evident ever since then that a good 80% of the magic in a Skyrim playthrough is what happens on the roads, just out and about, because that's where all the game's systems interact best. Glad that you could have this experience after so long!
On my first, second, thrid, n-th playthrough, I always naturally did it just how the book says. Because that's the games intention, but not limited to it. I always says that Skyrim is the most linear open world game ever. Even if you don't play "by the book", it will feed you constant stuff to do, open world is just an illusion.
Exactly, fast travel should ONLY be used to travel back and forth between locations tied to quests, for example fast traveling to Jorrvasker after each Companions job. Walk to the objective location manually but feel free to fast travel back to Whiterun if you'll just take the same path back, again though this shouldn't be for every quest just the kind that have you going back and forth from one set location
Great video! I loved it. Small suggestion: as a longtime retrospective enjoyer, I would suggest some kind of outro sequence for future videos just to tie everything together and put a definitive end to the video. Helps with the overall narrative. It just felt a little jarring imo to have the vid drop off at the end.
I was shocked when I saw that you only had 44 subscribers. I thought this video would have had at least 50,000 views and you 10,000 subscribers. Amazing content, amazing quality
@@deffdefying4803 can't tell if this is a diss on BG3, but it has a crazy amount of detail and content that makes sense for a big download. A better comparison is something like, say, Call of Duty that is 300gb and has absolutely no right or reason to be that bloated.
Such a well structured and edited video. You're also really good at narrating. Feels like you've been a youtuber for years! Very impressive. Well done!
I'm guessing the book makes no mention of the dragonpriest masks. So if you want something to do returning to this save file, if you collect all of the dragonpriest masks in the base game there is a hidden secret mask you can get and it has a very powerful effect. Have fun on one of the games best treasure hunts in my opinion.
I have 4000 hours into Skyrim, in my opinion Skyrim is one of the best games ever made. I started playing in 2012, and I still play it to this day. Great video!
@@coreyaldridge1753 I have, and I would say there is a lot of positives that one has that the other one doesn’t have and vice versa. I would definitely prefer Skyrim over Oblivion, but Oblivion story is great and the fact that you can create your own spells is amazing. That’s something Skyrim should have had.
Skyrim holds a special place in my heart not many games will ever compare to. I've done this play through before and I'm impressed you put in the time. Hope you keep exploring Skyrim. There are a few channels who create build guides that are fun and give your character a background and purpose within Skyrim, which are also very fun to check out, Fevy being one of my favorite. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Absolutely, loved this video. I was a little bummed out when Avati only did it so minimally. I love how you went through the whole playthrough! Great job, man! My only critique was the ending felt abrupt and I feel like I didn't hear you give a conclusion. I guess an epilogue you can say lol I felt so invested and watched your whole video in one sitting. I thought I was going to hear a "Final Thoughts" where we kind of have a sit-down and what you thought and everything lol
I remember when I first played Skyrim I couldn’t figure out where the entrance to whiterun was so I stole a horse and tried to jump over the walls lmao
@@jaredplathe2623 I guess you’ll have to buy the book. Or just assume as it’s “The way bethesda intended”, you have two choices, launch some arrows with that guys bow or sneak past the bear.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I’m currently lvl 41, been playing every now and then since it came out, in many different characters and all editions of the game.
8:25 I was so happy when I figured out how to do that. In my second play through, I got to that room and thought "I didn't get that last time. But now I know Tod Howard" and looked around, finding that broken bridge above. Skyrim is so cool.❤ There is a lot of cool and unique stuff along the main path that does not make other appearances. Like the birds flying away when you exit Riverwood, the entirety of Jurgan Windcaller's tomb (the number of times wirlwind sprint is needed), unique animations like the way Esburn searches his pockets, wearing the Thalmor Robes to pass peacefully, the voice acting for the main characters is full of personality, and Clear Skys is only used twice in the entire game, unless I missed something. And the wardrobe with the false back, I've only seen it in Riverwood and Blood on the Ice. The main story is so interesting.
I had no idea it existed till the leader kidnapped me and wouldn’t let me leave till I killed one of three innocent people. So I killed the leader bc she pissed me off (I was in the middle of something v important when she kidnapped me😂) and then I got rewarded a bunch of money so I’m happy lol
Fun fact! You actually don't have to kill Parthurnaax to get everything you can from the Blades. Just ask about restoring the Blades before you talk to Angir. Then do that, and you'll get the Dragon Infusion perk. And anything else you would get from them you can just take.
I probably have more than 10 k hours in skyrim, yet I didnt know about the torture chamber subjects giving you a quest to gather treasures, Well Done! great video, and I hope you keep playing it from time to time as many of us do
Dude I’m playing Skyrim for the first time right now and I didn’t even know you could sprint until like 35 hours of play time in. Thanks for this vid it was actually helpful to me it’s great
There are three different speeds the player can move. Walk, run, and sprint. On PC, I believe the default speed is walk. You can press shift to run, or caps lock to toggle running. Alt controls sprint. Something I learned recently as a veteran Skyrim player -- interacting with the little flags positioned on the in-game maps of Skyrim (ex. Upstairs behind Balgruuf's throne), will mark the location on your map, similar to when an NPC talks about a location. I thought it was so cool!!
@@zadarasimoleons1019 I play on my switch bc I don’t have a pc but I totally didn’t know I could run either, maybe I should look at the controls screen haha thank you
I discovered sprint after 6 month of playing,idk why but for me running on the keyboard was on “ i “ button, and I was in a werewolf form when I discovered it,seeing how my character in a beast for gets on four and sprinting like wolf,left me speechless
Bro these people hating for no reason this video is great i dont know the interwoven plot and secrets of the witcher 3 even though its been out just as long
@@James-mh4nn when I posted this comment there were only 6 comments and at least 2 or 3 of them seemed negative or discouraging just wanted to say it was a great video and it's okay to not know things about old games
You can completely trivialize the ebony warrior fight by getting the dual cast destruction knock back perk + the "fus" study from parthenax, it's functionally a 100% chance to stagger enemies. And then you can stunlock him to death 💀 get the twin souls perk from conjuration, dual cast daedric warriors, bring a follower, now it's a 4v1 with infinite stunlocks😂
@@botondnyitrai3128 to me it's hilarious to imagine what the Ebony warrior must think as he watches you run up the side of his mountain with 3 homies after he challenged you alone to a fight. Bro gets jumped in every playthrough that I hit 80+
I just love seeing different people's playstyles, or learning about them. 'I see no point in alchemy' or 'I grow gardens of blisterwort, canis root, and swamp fungal pod'; 'walking the overworld is wonderful' or 'I will climb the walls if I have to walk to Ivarstead one more time'; 'I can kill Paarthurnax for the quests' or 'I would die for my precious uwubebe formerly genocidal dragonbean' ^_^ Fascinating stuff.
I have a garden with a whole bunch of plants, but the ones I was really happy to discover were scaly pholacia and creeping canis root (I hope I remembered those names right) because they create a Fortify Carry Weight potion, which is crucial for me because I tend to pick up everything of value when I go on quests.
@@EG-cm5th scaly pholiota and creep cluster? I'd probably build a whole separate house for them, but for some reason, for me, creep cluster in a garden has about 0.5 pixels in which it can be harvested :/ Banger potion combo though!
@Stewartlittle96 you need the hearthfire expansion. Buy a section, build a house, build a garden, then the UI will give you the option to plant things when your reticle hovers over the garden plots. Imo the easiest house to get is in Falkreath, talk to the snotty Karl and it'll get the ball rolling
It makes me happy to see someone just… genuinely enjoying a game like this. Theres so many “optimized builds” that it’s nice to see someone just having fun
the special thing about skyrim to me is that i still havent beaten every quest and THAT alone keeps skyrim's as a still unexplored mysterious world in my head
It is easy to forget, in games like Skyrim, that game designers actually, you know, design the game...with intention...and method. 💪😎🤙. Great video, and let it be known that you can never arrive too late to notice things in this game that are awesome.
Hey man, loved the video. Skyrim is my favorite game ever, I've played the vanilla version for more than two thousand hours, on the PS3, Xbox 360, PS4 and finally on PC hahahahah, and I feel you perfectly captured it's feeling and why it's so great. Thank you for reminding me of how Skyrim makes one feel.
great video, love your POV, insight, and honesty. But this video ended very abruptly, could've done with even just a short recap or conclusion. Keep it up!
I personally enjoyed the Dawnguard more, but I also just really like vampire stuff. I also used the Serana dialog add-on mod that made her more interesting and interactive
I’m replaying the game right now for the first time in awhile, and I’m genuinely enjoying (with no mods)… It’s such an amazing game for new players or OG players. I just love that you can take the game into any direction that suits you. It’s a comforting game for late nights after work.
One of the first games I’ve ever played was Skyrim in the 360. Unfortunately I was quite young and was just starting to learn English, so I frequently felt discouraged and didn’t go far into the game. Nevertheless I still hold some dear memories from playing it. This video made me want to pick up a remaster and do a full run after all these years.
This video is so nostalgic. I remember standing out a gamestop for the midnight launch - and i got the strategy guide with it. That was one of the most detailed and thick strategy guides ive ever seen. I spent many hours reading it standalone and playing with it by my side.
3:00 so far this is exactly how I tend to play from the start anyway. I have played this game about 6 times over by now though, & in my last I was a spellsword too, though a male high elf.
Started a no-mods 100% run last month. If a quest takes me through an area I haven’t explored much, I do not fast travel to experience the world and discover new locations. Great way to play
The strongest combat perk is Shadow Warrior all around. Impact is not really good, unless you already have 100 Enchanting, which already makes it useless since you might as well have strong gear and kill everything easily at that point.
@@Borntolagagain shadow warrior is more of a getaway tool and I’m just talking about mechanically and not running around with infinite magicka or one shotting everything…
@@zoey8977 I guess you are not aware that you can spam the perk to "frontstab" people and dodge the enemies in front of you over and over again and re-engage? Even if you don't want to backstab people in combat, it's still great because you can use it as a dodge, to reposition, etc., it's also the best perk mechanically. Impact without infinite magicka is even worse from the perspective of you argument because it uses destruction spells. Destruction spells are a terrible design that one shots everything brainlessly in low difficulties while being mostly useless in high difficulties. Boring either way.
I’ve seen several instances of this tbh, people who approach the game with the mindset that all this random “side stuff” is boring and not worth doing…until someone or something in a video somewhere makes them rethink their approach, and then once they approach the game in the way it’s designed to be played, they find themselves “having more fun playing Skyrim than they ever have before” and everyone else is just over here nodding like “yes, glad to see you’ve finally discovered all the stuff that’s been there all along”
As someone who has played an unhealthy amount of Skyrim ever since it came out, modded and unmodded, I really love this video. Skyrim to me is less of a game with a start and end point as much as it is a sandbox world for you to explore.
I played skyrim for the first time last year (I'm 26), and i was streaming it to my friend, we emerged from the cave and i continued following the person i chose to riverwood, picking a stone and doing the first little quest and my friend told me that the first time he played skyrim he immediately ran off into the woods and didnt get a stone or get to riverwood until hundreds of hours later.
Skyrim has easily the best tutorial thats not a tutorial. Full freedom or immersion, it naturally lets you discover each part with proper in world clues should you need or want
So, I am about 8 minutes in now. Just past the part where you talked about following the path up to High Hrothgar. I want to tell you, and anyone else who wants to do a "no fast travel playthrough," which is how I play by default. There are a few shortcuts between Whiterun and Ivarstead that will save you a LOT of time that I didn't learn about for a long time. As you are traveling the road east from Whitrun, keep an eye out for a stone cairn on the left side of the road. If you hit the Towers, you missed it. This cairn marks a trail that is very lightly used and hard to spot as a result. If you follow it, it should lead you up some switchbacks and then through a small pass on the face of The Throat of the World, high enough for snow. It will connect with another shortcut that will lead you up to Ivarstead, beware of the troll near the stream crossing. The second shortcut is beyond the towers, after the road reconnects with the white river at the bottom of the falls and crosses a bridge. There is a cairn that marks the trail to Lost Knife Hideout, a cave, on the left. You can continue past Lost Knife up the hill. This trail will eventually connect to the other trail I mentioned. Dont forget to check out the tree bridge on your way up this trail. That whole cliffside has a bunch of trails and shortcuts between the Rift and Eastmarch. Roads are good for getting where you want to go, but dont forget to get lost on a trail or two. Finished the video now, good work. Personally I still haven't fought the Ebony Warrior, I play to slow. Skyrim is a magical game, and it's always fun to witness someone's "firsts" with it. Its just a fun game to play and share your experiences with.
@@trustinwockhardI enjoy the survival mode a lot and want to walk…but most of the time I can’t figure out where I’m going! I get so turned around and that’s what makes me turn off survival mode and fast travel lol any tips for helping find something on the map? A friend of mine told me about a spell that helps you track quests?
loved this video soo much! how you don't have more subs is baffling to me, great cadence and flow talking, I can genuinely feel the love for the game! EDIT: TY for highlighted comment!
I love that you've explored all of this. Skyrim is awesome, I have done all the quests many times over, except the Ebony Warrior. I am leveling up my character to 80 no to do so. Now they have added the realistic mode that disables fast travel completely and adds food, sleep, and cold. So much fun
I read the entire vanilla Prima Official Gide of this game (not the Legendary Edition), and I remember the game avatar they had was a male Nord named Bendu Olo married to Jenassa.
My first 2 playthroughs was almost "by the book"but without ever reading the actual book with small changes in the order of the questlines so this brings a lot of memories but I've only killed parthunax ones and with a save file created specifically for that purpose. Nice video mate well done.
Cracking the cryptic: why do Hadvar and Ralof say, "I think it's best if we split up?" Because they have to get to Riverwood to inform Delphine that when Lokir of Rorikstead was killed Alduin returned. When you return the dragonstone to Farengar Delphine is leaning over the book Holdings of Jarl Gjalund. You don't hear what Delphine says to Farengar but you hear his reply which is "You see, it's a different terminology..." There is only one entry in Holdings of Jarl Gjalund that has a different terminology in 4E 201 and that is Rorikstead is a different terminology of Rorik's Steading. They can only be talking about Lokir of Rorikstead's death causing the return of Alduin. When Felldir the Old banishes Alduin he says, "From all our endings unto the last." It's the "ending" of Lokir that causes Alduin to return and no one else. Bethesda Games Studios has committed a deception against us. They belong to a cult that is working to keep us deceived. I'm not accusing them of lying but then again they don't tell us the whole truth. They've turned deception into and art form. They give you enough information to tell you that Lokir of Rorikstead was the last Dragonborn and if you believe you are the last Dragonborn then more fool you. Before Skyrim starts a genocide has been committed by the Blades which is an underground organisation. They have done it to fulfill the prophecy of the last Dragonborn. That's why Hadvar was willing to let you go when you exited the cave at Helgen. When Lokir was killed and Alduin returned it was mission accomplished.

I played Skyrim for years before I started a no fast travel playthrough. It was the most fun I've had since then. You can even find the Redguards, who are looking for Saadia, harassing other women who look like her before they are triggered to be in Whiterun.
first time i played skyrim i didn't know about fast travels...once i did solitude to riften by walking lol
@@19noyz89 That's one heck of an adventure xD
I've never used fast travel other than by cart or dragon. Other than that, my secondary means of fast travel is riding a horse or werewolf form
i am currently playing skyrim for the first time in like 10 years and its so refreshing to see someone who is around my knowledge level to experience the game! nice video
I’m tempted to also play through again but with mods on pc since I’ve only ever played on xbox360!
So here’s a good trick
Become the leader of the companions
Then bring your radiant quest, giver, along as your companion Get the quest, recruit him then go to the location and complete the questthen un recruit him right there on the spot to get the next quest, then recruit him before he walks off again
You end up traveling all over Skyrim with a good companion and doing quests super fun with a camping mod
You didn’t know about dark brotherhood? Man I wish I was you. Experiencing this game/quest lines for the first time is something I’m jealous of!! Awesome video!!
Seems like the way I play Skyrim is shockingly in line with the guide lmao
Even down to the spellsword female dark elf. Loved the video, keep it up
The dark elf is just an excellent choice for anyone who wants to do a bit of everything. Good at melee, sneaking, and magic out of the gate, and one of the most fun racial powers
well, the dumner are one of the best races in all of TES. Khajiit are the other, and then Breton are always meta
People actually split up from Ralof/Hadvar? I followed them to Riverwood in every playthrough
The order of questing is such that the book is more orderly. When it comes to the game itself, it's generally the best idea to talk to everyone and gather all the quests wherever you are, and just complete them as you go.
So for example doing the Mythic Dawn Museum quest as soon as you get the letter, and running into Vaermina quest and other quests on the way.
This is especially the case with no fast travel.
'best' by definition of efficiency.
Some can play to maximize immersion or other measures of enjoyment.
All valid, whatever lets you enjoy the game!
@@briankelly1240 There is little immersion in joining side factions as a rookie after having slain the world eater.
At this point every faction would crave your membership and worship the ground you walk on.
But there is immersion in joining them before doing that, then becoming their leader after Alduin.
It also makes sense to do a lot of side quests and dungeons before Alduin as that makes you run into word walls and dragons to power up before the fight.
Everytime I got to a new city I knew I was gonna be in that city for hours doing quests
you may have actually given me a reason to go through my New Vegas guide. I thumbed through it at first, mumbled "nyeh, more like guidelines than actual ruules" then proceeded to build the same fkn character for 13yrs.
😂😂😂 so relatable
😂
It actually blows my mind that basic stuff like walking places instead of fast-travelling absolutely everywhere is some kind of revelation for people. Having played Skyrim since 2011, it's been evident ever since then that a good 80% of the magic in a Skyrim playthrough is what happens on the roads, just out and about, because that's where all the game's systems interact best.
Glad that you could have this experience after so long!
not even the random encounters just the visuals with the music is something else.
If you old school and respect old school rules, you'd never fast travel, especially when the world is filled with content both random and surprising.
On my first, second, thrid, n-th playthrough, I always naturally did it just how the book says. Because that's the games intention, but not limited to it. I always says that Skyrim is the most linear open world game ever. Even if you don't play "by the book", it will feed you constant stuff to do, open world is just an illusion.
Exactly, fast travel should ONLY be used to travel back and forth between locations tied to quests, for example fast traveling to Jorrvasker after each Companions job. Walk to the objective location manually but feel free to fast travel back to Whiterun if you'll just take the same path back, again though this shouldn't be for every quest just the kind that have you going back and forth from one set location
@@Arnechk this makes no sense at all. Giving stuff to do doesn’t make an open world an illusion… it’s gives you stuff to do in the open world.
Great video! I loved it. Small suggestion: as a longtime retrospective enjoyer, I would suggest some kind of outro sequence for future videos just to tie everything together and put a definitive end to the video. Helps with the overall narrative. It just felt a little jarring imo to have the vid drop off at the end.
as a guy who grew up playing skyrim im talking from 7 years old all the way to now 20 this was a great vid and i appreciate it great work samuel.

Such a well structured and edited video. You're also really good at narrating.
Feels like you've been a youtuber for years! Very impressive. Well done!
I'm guessing the book makes no mention of the dragonpriest masks. So if you want something to do returning to this save file, if you collect all of the dragonpriest masks in the base game there is a hidden secret mask you can get and it has a very powerful effect. Have fun on one of the games best treasure hunts in my opinion.
I have 4000 hours into Skyrim, in my opinion Skyrim is one of the best games ever made. I started playing in 2012, and I still play it to this day.

Have you played Oblivion? Curious how you would compare the two.
@@coreyaldridge1753 I have, and I would say there is a lot of positives that one has that the other one doesn’t have and vice versa.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I’m currently lvl 41, been playing every now and then since it came out, in many different characters and all editions of the game.
8:25 I was so happy when I figured out how to do that.
In my second play through, I got to that room and thought "I didn't get that last time. But now I know Tod Howard" and looked around, finding that broken bridge above. Skyrim is so cool.❤
There is a lot of cool and unique stuff along the main path that does not make other appearances. Like the birds flying away when you exit Riverwood, the entirety of Jurgan Windcaller's tomb (the number of times wirlwind sprint is needed), unique animations like the way Esburn searches his pockets, wearing the Thalmor Robes to pass peacefully, the voice acting for the main characters is full of personality, and Clear Skys is only used twice in the entire game, unless I missed something. And the wardrobe with the false back, I've only seen it in Riverwood and Blood on the Ice. The main story is so interesting.
Not knowing dark brotherhood existed is actually kind of insane..
I'm thinking Skyrim was his only Elderscrolls game
I had no idea it existed till the leader kidnapped me and wouldn’t let me leave till I killed one of three innocent people. So I killed the leader bc she pissed me off (I was in the middle of something v important when she kidnapped me😂) and then I got rewarded a bunch of money so I’m happy lol
Fun fact! You actually don't have to kill Parthurnaax to get everything you can from the Blades. Just ask about restoring the Blades before you talk to Angir. Then do that, and you'll get the Dragon Infusion perk. And anything else you would get from them you can just take.
I probably have more than 10 k hours in skyrim, yet I didnt know about the torture chamber subjects giving you a quest to gather treasures, Well Done! great video, and I hope you keep playing it from time to time as many of us do
Dude I’m playing Skyrim for the first time right now and I didn’t even know you could sprint until like 35 hours of play time in. Thanks for this vid it was actually helpful to me it’s great
There are three different speeds the player can move. Walk, run, and sprint. On PC, I believe the default speed is walk. You can press shift to run, or caps lock to toggle running. Alt controls sprint.
Something I learned recently as a veteran Skyrim player -- interacting with the little flags positioned on the in-game maps of Skyrim (ex. Upstairs behind Balgruuf's throne), will mark the location on your map, similar to when an NPC talks about a location. I thought it was so cool!!
@@zadarasimoleons1019 I play on my switch bc I don’t have a pc but I totally didn’t know I could run either, maybe I should look at the controls screen haha thank you

Fun Fact: If you take a drink everytime he says "The Book", you will die from Alcohol Poisoning. 🙂
I didn’t notice how many times he said it until I read this
This is how I played normally without reading the book
You’re telling me this is your second video? And you have a few thousand subs? I’m subbing bc this deserves more
I just love seeing different people's playstyles, or learning about them. 'I see no point in alchemy' or 'I grow gardens of blisterwort, canis root, and swamp fungal pod'; 'walking the overworld is wonderful' or 'I will climb the walls if I have to walk to Ivarstead one more time'; 'I can kill Paarthurnax for the quests' or 'I would die for my precious uwubebe formerly genocidal dragonbean' ^_^ Fascinating stuff.
I have a garden with a whole bunch of plants, but the ones I was really happy to discover were scaly pholacia and creeping canis root (I hope I remembered those names right) because they create a Fortify Carry Weight potion, which is crucial for me because I tend to pick up everything of value when I go on quests.
@@EG-cm5th scaly pholiota and creep cluster? I'd probably build a whole separate house for them, but for some reason, for me, creep cluster in a garden has about 0.5 pixels in which it can be harvested :/ Banger potion combo though!
This is a dumb question because I just started playing but how do you plant things?
@Stewartlittle96 you need the hearthfire expansion. Buy a section, build a house, build a garden, then the UI will give you the option to plant things when your reticle hovers over the garden plots. Imo the easiest house to get is in Falkreath, talk to the snotty Karl and it'll get the ball rolling

It’s never too late to enjoy Skyrim. Welcome to the family!
the special thing about skyrim to me is that i still havent beaten every quest and THAT alone
keeps skyrim's as a still unexplored mysterious world in my head
It is easy to forget, in games like Skyrim, that game designers actually, you know, design the game...with intention...and method. 💪😎🤙. Great video, and let it be known that you can never arrive too late to notice things in this game that are awesome.
Hey man, loved the video. Skyrim is my favorite game ever, I've played the vanilla version for more than two thousand hours, on the PS3, Xbox 360, PS4 and finally on PC hahahahah, and I feel you perfectly captured it's feeling and why it's so great. Thank you for reminding me of how Skyrim makes one feel.
Great^^
This was fun to watch, great video^^
great video, love your POV, insight, and honesty. But this video ended very abruptly, could've done with even just a short recap or conclusion.
Keep it up!
I personally enjoyed the Dawnguard more, but I also just really like vampire stuff. I also used the Serana dialog add-on mod that made her more interesting and interactive
I’m replaying the game right now for the first time in awhile, and I’m genuinely enjoying (with no mods)… It’s such an amazing game for new players or OG players. I just love that you can take the game into any direction that suits you. It’s a comforting game for late nights after work.
One of the first games I’ve ever played was Skyrim in the 360. Unfortunately I was quite young and was just starting to learn English, so I frequently felt discouraged and didn’t go far into the game. Nevertheless I still hold some dear memories from playing it. This video made me want to pick up a remaster and do a full run after all these years.
Its insanely good still
This video is so nostalgic. I remember standing out a gamestop for the midnight launch - and i got the strategy guide with it. That was one of the most detailed and thick strategy guides ive ever seen. I spent many hours reading it standalone and playing with it by my side.
3:00 so far this is exactly how I tend to play from the start anyway. I have played this game about 6 times over by now though, & in my last I was a spellsword too, though a male high elf.
Started a no-mods 100% run last month. If a quest takes me through an area I haven’t explored much, I do not fast travel to experience the world and discover new locations.
Great way to play
Damn i wish i could play this game for the first time again. Good Video man
If I took a shot everytime you said "the book" I would been dead 4 mins into this video.
Impact is the strongest combat perk in all of skyrim. Makes every fight a joke because the enemy literally can’t do anything lol
The strongest combat perk is Shadow Warrior all around.
Impact is not really good, unless you already have 100 Enchanting, which already makes it useless since you might as well have strong gear and kill everything easily at that point.
@@Borntolagagain shadow warrior is more of a getaway tool and I’m just talking about mechanically and not running around with infinite magicka or one shotting everything…
This logic but with a simple paralysis poison too
@@zoey8977 I guess you are not aware that you can spam the perk to "frontstab" people and dodge the enemies in front of you over and over again and re-engage? Even if you don't want to backstab people in combat, it's still great because you can use it as a dodge, to reposition, etc., it's also the best perk mechanically.
Impact without infinite magicka is even worse from the perspective of you argument because it uses destruction spells. Destruction spells are a terrible design that one shots everything brainlessly in low difficulties while being mostly useless in high difficulties. Boring either way.

Take a shot everytime they say "The book"
Clearly the book doesn't understand how Skyrim economy actually works.
Enchantment for ungodly profits, baby.
Wealth beyond measure
This book completely skipped over that frost troll on the steps to High Hrothgar, you're telling me it wasn't an entire chapter.
The amount of "I have never done that before" in this video, makes we wonder, if he ever even played Skyrim before.
I’ve seen several instances of this tbh, people who approach the game with the mindset that all this random “side stuff” is boring and not worth doing…until someone or something in a video somewhere makes them rethink their approach, and then once they approach the game in the way it’s designed to be played, they find themselves “having more fun playing Skyrim than they ever have before” and everyone else is just over here nodding like “yes, glad to see you’ve finally discovered all the stuff that’s been there all along”
I wish someone made a legit playthrough like this. It's vacation time and I'd love to waste 18 hours watching a complete playthrough of this
As someone who has played an unhealthy amount of Skyrim ever since it came out, modded and unmodded, I really love this video.
Skyrim to me is less of a game with a start and end point as much as it is a sandbox world for you to explore.
I played skyrim for the first time last year (I'm 26), and i was streaming it to my friend, we emerged from the cave and i continued following the person i chose to riverwood, picking a stone and doing the first little quest and my friend told me that the first time he played skyrim he immediately ran off into the woods and didnt get a stone or get to riverwood until hundreds of hours later.
If playing vanilla means killing parthunax then ill never play vanilla
Skyrim has easily the best tutorial thats not a tutorial. Full freedom or immersion, it naturally lets you discover each part with proper in world clues should you need or want
So, I am about 8 minutes in now. Just past the part where you talked about following the path up to High Hrothgar.
I want to tell you, and anyone else who wants to do a "no fast travel playthrough," which is how I play by default. There are a few shortcuts between Whiterun and Ivarstead that will save you a LOT of time that I didn't learn about for a long time.
As you are traveling the road east from Whitrun, keep an eye out for a stone cairn on the left side of the road. If you hit the Towers, you missed it. This cairn marks a trail that is very lightly used and hard to spot as a result. If you follow it, it should lead you up some switchbacks and then through a small pass on the face of The Throat of the World, high enough for snow. It will connect with another shortcut that will lead you up to Ivarstead, beware of the troll near the stream crossing.
The second shortcut is beyond the towers, after the road reconnects with the white river at the bottom of the falls and crosses a bridge. There is a cairn that marks the trail to Lost Knife Hideout, a cave, on the left. You can continue past Lost Knife up the hill. This trail will eventually connect to the other trail I mentioned. Dont forget to check out the tree bridge on your way up this trail.
That whole cliffside has a bunch of trails and shortcuts between the Rift and Eastmarch. Roads are good for getting where you want to go, but dont forget to get lost on a trail or two.
Finished the video now, good work. Personally I still haven't fought the Ebony Warrior, I play to slow. Skyrim is a magical game, and it's always fun to witness someone's "firsts" with it. Its just a fun game to play and share your experiences with.
🙏

My first 2 playthroughs was almost "by the book"but without ever reading the actual book with small changes in the order of the questlines so this brings a lot of memories but I've only killed parthunax ones and with a save file created specifically for that purpose.
Nice video mate well done.
Cracking the cryptic: why do Hadvar and Ralof say, "I think it's best if we split up?" Because they have to get to Riverwood to inform Delphine that when Lokir of Rorikstead was killed Alduin returned.
When you return the dragonstone to Farengar Delphine is leaning over the book Holdings of Jarl Gjalund. You don't hear what Delphine says to Farengar but you hear his reply which is "You see, it's a different terminology..." There is only one entry in Holdings of Jarl Gjalund that has a different terminology in 4E 201 and that is Rorikstead is a different terminology of Rorik's Steading. They can only be talking about Lokir of Rorikstead's death causing the return of Alduin.
When Felldir the Old banishes Alduin he says, "From all our endings unto the last." It's the "ending" of Lokir that causes Alduin to return and no one else.
Bethesda Games Studios has committed a deception against us. They belong to a cult that is working to keep us deceived. I'm not accusing them of lying but then again they don't tell us the whole truth. They've turned deception into and art form.
They give you enough information to tell you that Lokir of Rorikstead was the last Dragonborn and if you believe you are the last Dragonborn then more fool you.
Before Skyrim starts a genocide has been committed by the Blades which is an underground organisation. They have done it to fulfill the prophecy of the last Dragonborn. That's why Hadvar was willing to let you go when you exited the cave at Helgen. When Lokir was killed and Alduin returned it was mission accomplished.
Take a shot every time he says "the book"
When you know everything about skyrim its hard to remember how good it actually is
Bro, great job on this. I can tell already this video is gonna do numbers
