    You know, I never noticed, but Riften's prison/jail is *significantly* nicer than any of the other ones in Skyrim. Fully furnished, carpet, well lit and cozy. It's nicer than most people's home!
    Nice bit of immersive level design that.

    There's a mod that you can get for the Thieves Guild called "Localized Thieves Guild Jobs", it allows you to pick which city you'd like a job in, and in addition allows you to get an additional payout if you complete the job within a certain amount of time. It's one of my go-to mods for Skyrim, even though its a small thing, it makes all the difference.

    @DirtCobaine 2 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    Honestly this is how I usually play my play throughs. I like to immerse myself by actually living as a citizen somewhere, and I’ll actually stay out for a while, doing honest work. By honest work whether it’s working at a Mill, or in a Mine, or Smithing, etc. and I’ll let adventure unfold naturally. Playing on survival mode helps the immersion because you’ll need more and more gold to survive and that leads down certain paths. It’s just a good way to get immersed, and one thing I can say Skyrim did better than the previous titles. It allows you to do honest work, buy or build your own home, have a family if you want. I just hope the next elder scrolls is even more immersive. Hopefully just bigger towns, cities and villages.

  • @orukarm

    The rift is the most easily defined region in skyrim, with it hard to leave it without realizing you’ve left, north is a giant cliff leading to eastmarch with only 2-3 safe entries (those that don’t involve jumping off a cliff and dying) into the hold, south is a mountain and impassable border, east is also a mountain and impassable border, west is also a mountain with one singular entry into falkreath (which is lined with with stone totems so hard to not miss). I was able to get a lot done and had an interesting experience by just staying in the rift and riften, so if you ever see this, I hope you consider doing a stuck in the rift video.

    Riften is definitely Skyrim's little slice of Grand Theft Auto.
    The Black-Birar Family ruling the city with her hands in every politician's and guard's pockets, being the home to the Thieves guild where you can do heists, a city laden with thieves, bad people, racism, and crime, a fishery under terrible labor conditions, and an explorable sewer filled with psychotic criminals.
    Hell, if Bethesda had the extra budget, they should expand Riften further and make it a living, breathing, and separate entity from Skyrim, something I know it won't happen in this timeline.

    I remember the very first time I entered riften, I thought I’d have to pay the visitor tax every time I wanted to enter the city. Because if this, I tried to do as much as I possibly could in the city before I left. Let’s just say, I spent a lot of time in the city and was very shocked when I learned I did not have to pay the tax every time

    Balimund. A quick help with the early lockpick and we never would have expected the foreshadowing of your marriage. He gives you the lockpick in dire times. You pay him back with the fire salts. A happy ending.

    Heya Joov! I'm loving the content, and I have an idea for a region lock for you. Play as an Argonian (I know you did already, but keeping it thematic) and restrict yourself to only the waterways of Skyrim! Rivers, ponds, lakes...waterfalls? I don't even know if it's going to be possible honestly, but I feel like it would be fun to try out!

    Loved this one, Riften is a lot more packed with stuff than I expected, even without the Anniversary Edition's additional content. Good choice for this challenge! Fighting Tythis over the chopping block and murdering him with a fishing rod was golden.
    Also I must say, I love the use of Deus Ex music near the beginning.
    I'm not sure if you do suggestions or the like for ideas, but I'm curious about the Institute in Fallout 4. I'm sure it'll be just as God-awful as Diamond City, but you would be literally entombed with a bunch of annoying scientists to brutally murd- I mean befriend and assist. I wonder if it'll be more or less filled with stuff than the "Great" Green Jewel.

    The biggest pain in Madesi's fetch quest: Flawless Sapphires. Rare compared to the other two requested items and you need two of them. Mammoth tusks are practically guaranteed after killing a mammoth, you can transmute iron ore to silver, then silver ore to gold, easy if you have the "Transmute" Alteration spell and enough magicka. Flawless sapphires can be mined for but GL with RNG.
