"Iona? Where'd flippin Iona go" as he jogs past the daedric armored warrior standing in the brush.... I see why some think black makes good camouflage at night, they probably had someone with Jon's level of awareness making the assessment.
Fliplettuce 6776 he won’t equip things because he is dead, and even if he did, it would reset to default in the next load zone. He may be able to put on copies of his iron armor with enchantments, but that’s about it.
I don’t know which is less perception the beginning where Jon misses a companion or when he’s building a house and has the materials right next to him.
Jon I recommend buying goat horns whenever you see them because it takes a ton to fully light each house. Also for the Lakeview house I always do the wings that give you the outdoor balcony because it has the best view. I do the towers in the dawnstar house because it feels wizardy to me. And the morthal house gets the greenhouse and kitchen because it has the fish hatchery. That's just what I do and I look forward to seeing how you do things.
Aaaah Krosis, you wonderful masked Dragon Priest you. In the first playthrough I finally actually PLAYED of this game I was walking to the east of Whiterun near that river pass and he just fell outta the sky and died next to me. I have no idea why because I found out later he does not even spawn near there. But I was doing a bowrun so I just decided to dump the body and rock that sweet mask for the rest of the game.
Jon... let Benor go. That’s not.. him. His body is but a vessel for souls now. It seems your dependence on him has only risen since resurrecting his corpse because you’re constantly stopping and looking for him to make sure he hasn’t fallen again. This isn’t a healthy coping mechanism Jon. Plus, he had a good run. He’s dead Jon. He’s dead.
To buy animals, you need to have a Steward and they get cows, chickens, and a horse for you. And a bard for music. OH! And an "apiary" is a beehive. It generates honey.
JON! Flipping forget Benor, let him sleep outside, just call it camping or something. The cellar gets ALL of the things! Smelter, firepit, workbench, grindstone, infinite containers, respawning ores and ingots, and even an all-inclusive shrine to the nine that allows you to pick and choose what blessing you want at any given time! It is the BEST THING!
The shenanigans of undead Benor in this episode was beyond hilarious. It's almost like the game acknowledges he is (brain)dead. The way he shambled up those stairs just outside the dungeon (shambling = running wildly without going very far), and how he just stopped and spaced out during combat some times. What a guy.
Jon, if you want to save yourself some time and effort, if you pick up the housecarl for whatever hold your homestead is and set them as the steward for that homestead, you can pay to have them decorate all rooms of the house. You're swimming in money with nothing to buy, so why not?
Jon, to keep the crown to have to reverse pickpocket onto Ralof in the final room of the dungeon, then after turning the quest in pickpocket it back off him during a later civil war mission. You'd have to save before either attempt, the odds are extremely low, one in a million for each. But as it's the best looking heavy helm in the game, very worth it.
I like to imagine that Benor gets more and more beaten up with each death he has. Like, when Jon first found his body he was all grey and waterlogged from floating down the river (though fortunately it was cold enough to keep him from rotting), most of his facial hair was all burned off by that necromancer and his face is all charred, then when he got shouted off that cliff his arm and hip got broken, so when he lifts his hammer one of his arms has an extra couple of joints in it and he limps all the time. With this latest death from the draugr I imagine he nearly got his broken arm severed from his body by an overhead strike into the shoulder, so now his iron breastplate and maybe some thick stitches Jon's put in at some point are the only thing still holding his arm on. He doesn't feel any pain anymore, but he moans because he doesn't understand why such horrific wounds don't hurt.
Jon there is a wooden mask that you got from a dungeon once, if you have the full set of the dragon priest masks put the wooden mask on and it’ll teleport you to a different dimension where you’ll put the dragon mask into their places and see what will happen.
Also Jon, you can tell any housecarl-style follower to become a Steward of your house, and they'll do stuff like buy Sawn Logs for you so you don't have to run around to lumber mills to buy it. They can also furnish your house at a high price if you're too lazy to get the materials yourself.
You can assign a companion to be your house's steward. They can buy animals, supplies, hire bards, or straight-up decorate your house for you. It should be a speech option for any (living) follower that you have, though I can't remember if the option is only available when you're inside the house or not.
Jon, you can save yourself a huge headache if you get a steward (most followers can be assigned to it) and just pay them to furnish the house. It takes a while but it's WAY easier an faster.
this would be so amaing as an animation. make jon a crazy wizards just going around bashing things with a big dragon bone stick, with a zombie and some poor house carl
Jon, furnishing your own home is a long and tiresome process needing tons of resources. Once you build the main structure (including your towers), you're better off bringing a companion and talking to them about becoming a steward for your home. You can then talk to them and just pay them to do all the work of furnishing the place for you.
Just echo what others have said, getting a steward for your manor is very useful. Both in terms of furnishing your manor and in terms of being a resource vendor (they buy resources like quarried stone, lumber and clay for you) and are therefore really useful.
With fallreath thaneship you will get a housecarl to protect your home, and you can bring a follower there and give them the job of steward, they will protect it as well as give you a few new improvement options. You can even hire a bard once you have a steward.
Jon, go to an inn and hire a steward. He can buy for you all the furniture you need wthout spending time on hunting goats and searching for other items, and also you can ask the steward to buy which animal you want ..
You do realize if you go back to the drafting table you can build more upgrades to the house right? like enchanting room, alchemy lab, etc. those have windows. try it out, and also deck your house out with all the optional stuff you can build inside, it starts looking pretty neat, especially the mounted animals
if you build the greenhouse wing addon you can plant it with canis root, imp stool & mora tapinella, then mass produce paralysis/damage health poisons to grind your alchemy skill. also, if you buy the heal undead spell from ronthil in volkihar you can heal your thrall
You could get a housecarl from Falkreath if you've been named thane, or set Iona as housecarl by talking to her. Once you've got a housecarl assigned you can give them money to fully decorate your house. And now you've got the garden you can load it up with blisterwort and glowing mushrooms for fortify smithing potions or imp stools and canis root for paralysis poisons, or all the ingredients for vegetable soup except tomatoes if you ever wanna get into infinite shield bashes. Go crazy. Also go talk to Tolfdir at the college and get the detect dead alteration spell. It's handy when you're searching for Benors corpse
Jon....the game literally gives you every item you need to build the base house in the chest you looked in.... Anyways, I suggest furnishing the house yourself, don't have the housecarl do it. The housecarl puts every possible option in and makes the house crowded and annoyingly full of barrels and garbage. For example, the armory is 100% better without the round table and grindstone/armor workbench blocking up the walking room.
You should get another of the housecarls to be steward of the house so you don't have to go out for supplies, you just pay them and they get it delivered to your house
Jon - stop slagging Shadowmere. Best horse on the game and will occupy so many enemies when you're in battle. Also, get the apiary for your house - you can get the little monkeys to follow you and they are immense.
You can take basically any companion, and make them your steward for your new house. Then, you can have them furnish your house for you, and all it will take is money.
Charlie Melville it takes forever for them to furnish your house. I told my steward to do it and about 20 hours of play time later they had still only done the main hall.
SpeakShibboleth but they do it. And you can wait until they’ve done it, that’s only be a minute or two of real world time. Plus, Jon’s always off adventuring, it wouldn’t be that complicated for him to furnish his house via a steward.
SpeakShibboleth I... think you did something wrong. It’s been awhile since I played Hearthfire, but Sven from Riverwood furnished my entire house in an afternoon.
Irex 999 Eh the Empire is basically biding its time and waiting for reinforcements before taking on the Thalmor in open war. The Stormcloaks just got tired of waiting.
So you totally have inspired me to do my own mad wizard play through, but with MODS! I found Spell Research which gives you a new way to learn spells, having to make them based on research and stuff. Its a ton of fun so far and I have started putting up videos of it, putting up 1 every day until new years when I will probably have to redo my schedule but we will get there when we get there eh?
Not even 10 seconds in & Jon completely misses Iona standing a few feet away from him...
Classic Jon looking right past his team member when she is directly in front of him
"WHERE IS SHE" *blatantly standing right in front of the camera*
I think hes starting to do this on purpose...
It has to be impossible for him to be this bad...
He's actually becoming LESS perceptive...
It's moments like this that convince me he's faking this shit.
If it helps I didn't see Iona either
-2 Perception.
I try not to give Jon a hard time about this sort of thing, but holy cow that was a doozy. I'm gonna pretend he was joking.
-1 perception from 0.06 :*) typical jon hahaha
HOW BLIND IS HE?!
Right out the gate.
Give Jon some slack, he probably had a lot to drink these days. :)
Iona?!?! lolol
"Iona? Where'd flippin Iona go" as he jogs past the daedric armored warrior standing in the brush.... I see why some think black makes good camouflage at night, they probably had someone with Jon's level of awareness making the assessment.
The groans of Benor's agony echo through this series. Existence is pain for him.
Aidan Wilds he's mr. meeseeks xD
Life is pain. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
Perception at minus 1 right at the beginning
Its minus 50,001 at this point mate.
"I'll take that just to sell" should be on a MATN T-shirt.
I'd take one, just to sell.
Hey Jon, you might enjoy the dungeon Ansilvund. It involves a wife who is also a necromancer, but she couldn't save her husband
Hitting a little close to home there, poor Benor.
Exactly
Jon, you should take Benor’s iron armor off of him the next time he dies so he has to equip the ebony armor
Fliplettuce 6776 you cant take default armor off companions
he's not a companion he's a zombie thrall.
Fliplettuce 6776 he wont equip any armor give him staffs and big sticks
Mikail Elchanovanich Hes still a dead compainoin
Fliplettuce 6776 he won’t equip things because he is dead, and even if he did, it would reset to default in the next load zone. He may be able to put on copies of his iron armor with enchantments, but that’s about it.
I don’t know which is less perception the beginning where Jon misses a companion or when he’s building a house and has the materials right next to him.
I know where i can get that!
Yes, Jon, from the chest you just opened
Jon, you can just pay your housecarl to furnish the house for you. Then you don't have to endlessly be searching for goat horns and glass.
Takes a fairly long time in my experience.
Caleb Boerner Absolutely not worth it
Jon I recommend buying goat horns whenever you see them because it takes a ton to fully light each house. Also for the Lakeview house I always do the wings that give you the outdoor balcony because it has the best view. I do the towers in the dawnstar house because it feels wizardy to me. And the morthal house gets the greenhouse and kitchen because it has the fish hatchery. That's just what I do and I look forward to seeing how you do things.
yeah i was always disappointed by the tower additions to the houses, as you can just put an enchanting table and alchemy table in the main hall.
Jon, you soul trap dragons automatically... you're the Dragonborn...
...shhh, his perception will hear you.
it was to make it active
then why not use something actually useful, like Marked For Death?
No idea it would of been more effective
When your psycho wife brings you back from the dead and makes you live in the basement.
Benor is in an abusive relationship and not even death can rescue him
Notice shadowmere dar away, Iona Right in front of his face cant see her, .......
-99percepetion jon
JON GET NECROMATIC HEALING from the vampire castle
RussianAsian oh, that’s where you get it?
Ian Baker its also in the dungeon w where you find Serana
he cant go back to the vampires as he got cured
Aaaah Krosis, you wonderful masked Dragon Priest you. In the first playthrough I finally actually PLAYED of this game I was walking to the east of Whiterun near that river pass and he just fell outta the sky and died next to me. I have no idea why because I found out later he does not even spawn near there. But I was doing a bowrun so I just decided to dump the body and rock that sweet mask for the rest of the game.
Fensake Yen Snipest Krosis in the Dragon tongue means “sorrow “
Jon, get all the dragon priest masks, it’s worth it!
Jon... let Benor go. That’s not.. him. His body is but a vessel for souls now. It seems your dependence on him has only risen since resurrecting his corpse because you’re constantly stopping and looking for him to make sure he hasn’t fallen again. This isn’t a healthy coping mechanism Jon. Plus, he had a good run. He’s dead Jon. He’s dead.
He's flipping alive to me. Damnit.
So is Iona actually John Cena?
Jon: (Looks directly at Iona)
Jon: WHERE IS IONA?!?!
To buy animals, you need to have a Steward and they get cows, chickens, and a horse for you. And a bard for music. OH! And an "apiary" is a beehive. It generates honey.
JON!
Flipping forget Benor, let him sleep outside, just call it camping or something. The cellar gets ALL of the things! Smelter, firepit, workbench, grindstone, infinite containers, respawning ores and ingots, and even an all-inclusive shrine to the nine that allows you to pick and choose what blessing you want at any given time! It is the BEST THING!
Build a coffin for Benor!
The shenanigans of undead Benor in this episode was beyond hilarious. It's almost like the game acknowledges he is (brain)dead. The way he shambled up those stairs just outside the dungeon (shambling = running wildly without going very far), and how he just stopped and spaced out during combat some times. What a guy.
"Christmas has come early" video posted on the 27th of December
I find it extremely enjoyable to watch Jon build his house
First 10 seconds Jon shows off his Perception -1 skill lolololol
Jon's Benor groans of undeath already getting realllll old.
When you love someone as much as I love Benor, you accept their quirks too.
Jon, if you want to save yourself some time and effort, if you pick up the housecarl for whatever hold your homestead is and set them as the steward for that homestead, you can pay to have them decorate all rooms of the house. You're swimming in money with nothing to buy, so why not?
aside from getting a Steward to do it, you CAN saw your own lumber at a mill, but only if that guy is considered your friend.
not 10 seconds in and Jons lack of perception is already showing.
Goddamnit, Jon. Could you make it past nine seconds into the episode before having a perception fail?
Jon, to keep the crown to have to reverse pickpocket onto Ralof in the final room of the dungeon, then after turning the quest in pickpocket it back off him during a later civil war mission. You'd have to save before either attempt, the odds are extremely low, one in a million for each. But as it's the best looking heavy helm in the game, very worth it.

With this latest death from the draugr I imagine he nearly got his broken arm severed from his body by an overhead strike into the shoulder, so now his iron breastplate and maybe some thick stitches Jon's put in at some point are the only thing still holding his arm on.
He doesn't feel any pain anymore, but he moans because he doesn't understand why such horrific wounds don't hurt.
Interesting view
For best effect - armory/storage/bedrooms - they create balconies on the outside that link up nicely.
Jon there is a wooden mask that you got from a dungeon once, if you have the full set of the dragon priest masks put the wooden mask on and it’ll teleport you to a different dimension where you’ll put the dragon mask into their places and see what will happen.
You can get your housecarl to buy all the interior furniture
Also Jon, you can tell any housecarl-style follower to become a Steward of your house, and they'll do stuff like buy Sawn Logs for you so you don't have to run around to lumber mills to buy it. They can also furnish your house at a high price if you're too lazy to get the materials yourself.

It should be a speech option for any (living) follower that you have, though I can't remember if the option is only available when you're inside the house or not.
-1000 Perfection for the first few seconds ..
Jon, you can save yourself a huge headache if you get a steward (most followers can be assigned to it) and just pay them to furnish the house. It takes a while but it's WAY easier an faster.
Hey Jon, you need to appoint someone as your house carl and they'll buy stuff for you as well as furnish the house.
Woo, Jon started a new dlc!
this would be so amaing as an animation. make jon a crazy wizards just going around bashing things with a big dragon bone stick, with a zombie and some poor house carl
Jon an Apiary is a beehive
Jon, furnishing your own home is a long and tiresome process needing tons of resources. Once you build the main structure (including your towers), you're better off bringing a companion and talking to them about becoming a steward for your home. You can then talk to them and just pay them to do all the work of furnishing the place for you.
Just echo what others have said, getting a steward for your manor is very useful. Both in terms of furnishing your manor and in terms of being a resource vendor (they buy resources like quarried stone, lumber and clay for you) and are therefore really useful.
Jon, you have to sign a huscarl to your house, he/ she will sell you the entire interior, animals and building material.
Missed an opportunity to call this episode Home Improvement
watching Jon struggle to build a house gives me joy!
Oh god. Jon suggesting Benor stay in the animal pen slayed me.
Thought I recogonised that voice
Tulius is voiced by the same actor who did Doc Mitchell in Fallout New Vegas
He kinda sounds like Saul Tigh from BSG
Edit: Because it's Michael Hogan, who was Saul Tigh!
Not even 10 seconds into the video Jon is showing his amazing perception
With fallreath thaneship you will get a housecarl to protect your home, and you can bring a follower there and give them the job of steward, they will protect it as well as give you a few new improvement options. You can even hire a bard once you have a steward.
How on earth did Jon not see Iona during the intro, he looked past her to see Shadowmere.
Poor Benor. I'm glad he's getting a nice man-cave to live in after all that dying he's been doing. :)
Jon, go to an inn and hire a steward. He can buy for you all the furniture you need wthout spending time on hunting goats and searching for other items, and also you can ask the steward to buy which animal you want ..
You do realize if you go back to the drafting table you can build more upgrades to the house right? like enchanting room, alchemy lab, etc. those have windows. try it out, and also deck your house out with all the optional stuff you can build inside, it starts looking pretty neat, especially the mounted animals
"Get everyone safe down the valley."
jon you can recruit a steward and an extra huscarl for your house as well as adopt 2 kids who can adopt a pet of their own
if you build the greenhouse wing addon you can plant it with canis root, imp stool & mora tapinella, then mass produce paralysis/damage health poisons to grind your alchemy skill. also, if you buy the heal undead spell from ronthil in volkihar you can heal your thrall
Use all the dragon priest masks at labyrinthia or whatever to do some cool stuff.
Literally within the first 10 seconds Jon...It's like you're just doing it on purpose now.
You could get a housecarl from Falkreath if you've been named thane, or set Iona as housecarl by talking to her. Once you've got a housecarl assigned you can give them money to fully decorate your house.
And now you've got the garden you can load it up with blisterwort and glowing mushrooms for fortify smithing potions or imp stools and canis root for paralysis poisons, or all the ingredients for vegetable soup except tomatoes if you ever wanna get into infinite shield bashes. Go crazy.
Also go talk to Tolfdir at the college and get the detect dead alteration spell. It's handy when you're searching for Benors corpse
lmfao Jon whirlwind sprinting right into the giant axes XD
Jon, convert a housecarl into a steward for your house, you will be able to buy animals and bards and carriages and stuff for your house with it
Jon....the game literally gives you every item you need to build the base house in the chest you looked in....
Anyways, I suggest furnishing the house yourself, don't have the housecarl do it. The housecarl puts every possible option in and makes the house crowded and annoyingly full of barrels and garbage. For example, the armory is 100% better without the round table and grindstone/armor workbench blocking up the walking room.
Jon's perception triggering within 20 secs of vid. This gonna be good.
Directly behind Narfi's house is a stone quarry in the rockside
Jon you need a companion to be your steward to be able to get animals and they can buy materials for your home for you
a log... storing... place...
so like a saw mill?
You should get another of the housecarls to be steward of the house so you don't have to go out for supplies, you just pay them and they get it delivered to your house
Keep building the house! I spent ages killing enough animals to fill it with decor.
The thalmor are on the side of the empire
Jon - stop slagging Shadowmere. Best horse on the game and will occupy so many enemies when you're in battle. Also, get the apiary for your house - you can get the little monkeys to follow you and they are immense.
How long did it take Jon to realize that corundum and iron ingots were in the chest HE JUST CHECKED right next to the workbench?
great Video Jon
"I need to fild a place to querry stone"
While stareing at the stone vein
You can take basically any companion, and make them your steward for your new house. Then, you can have them furnish your house for you, and all it will take is money.
Charlie Melville it takes forever for them to furnish your house. I told my steward to do it and about 20 hours of play time later they had still only done the main hall.
SpeakShibboleth but they do it. And you can wait until they’ve done it, that’s only be a minute or two of real world time. Plus, Jon’s always off adventuring, it wouldn’t be that complicated for him to furnish his house via a steward.
SpeakShibboleth and would his life really be the same without Lydia there to guard his stuff/home? She could even share a room with Iona.
Charlie Melville no, I meant 20 hours of me playing. Not 20 hours in game time.
SpeakShibboleth I... think you did something wrong. It’s been awhile since I played Hearthfire, but Sven from Riverwood furnished my entire house in an afternoon.
Hey Jon love your video. The glass is for display cases and enchanting tables. You are going to need a lot of supplies.
Is General Tullias the C-sec guy from Mass Effect
I'm 95% sure he is, yes.
Brutal Fates sounds like him
He’s also the second in command in Battlestar Galactica
Brutal Fates He's Doc Mitchell in Fallout New Vegas.
isnt there a quest or something where you can combine all of the dragon priest masks together?
An Apiary is for Bees John, It's a hive......
The Jagged Crown looks bad ass
Assign iona as steward for ease of furnishing your home
but then she could no longer be a companion unless my game glitched
Jon you do know you are working for the empire that’s working with the thalmor
Irex 999 Eh the Empire is basically biding its time and waiting for reinforcements before taking on the Thalmor in open war. The Stormcloaks just got tired of waiting.
Benor has learned to moonwalk
"9 Iron ingots" he says whilst making 18 iron ingots
So you totally have inspired me to do my own mad wizard play through, but with MODS! I found Spell Research which gives you a new way to learn spells, having to make them based on research and stuff. Its a ton of fun so far and I have started putting up videos of it, putting up 1 every day until new years when I will probably have to redo my schedule but we will get there when we get there eh?
You can bring another housecarl here and make them the a guy you can buy lumber and animals through (I forget what skyrim calls them)
a steward
Right. Thank you. Steward.
10th second in the video and Jon couldn't see Iona who was blatantly standing right in front of him... xD
I really can't tell if he really thinks it's an ape house.
I always build the towers as well, but I almost always play a book hoarding Sorceress so...
Me too Benor, me too.
Talk to your companion at your home
Jon you can make Iona steward of your manor and buy or build things through her.
Poor Jon get destroyed in comments
Quick question: is Skyrim Jon a good or bad girlfriend?
Nobody You Know
1. Abusive
2. Moral conflicted
3. Blind
Would you want a girlfriend who killed her first fiancé?
The best.
Depends. Is she standing right behind me?
She is a bit psycho, but in a good way.
