Leonard: " Why isn't Queen Elisif organizing a response against Alduin?" To be fair I wouldn't trust Elisif to organize a children's birthday party let alone a military response to a giant world eating dragon.
Wait, Ralis is starting to scare the _Courier?!_ The same guy that has no trouble tracking down literally everyone and seems to be immortal? Oh... Oh my.
That Inigo headshot tho. My headcannon is that Inigo actually tries to shoot paralyzed enemies with his eyes closed to give himself a bigger challenge. This is especially backed up by that perfect headshot on a target that wasn't paralyzed. Also I was hoping you would give the dwarven blackbow of fate to Inigo seeing as it would go well with his color scheme with the black, purple and orange. Inigo deserves his new toys every now and then aswell.
How do you know you’ve been playing too much Skyrim? When you start wondering whether Dwemer automatons have souls! 🤣😁🤦🏼♀️ Great episode Gopher, I loved this quest! You should have called Fluffy, Rattlin Rosie!
"If you have a dangerous job, and you're not terrified doing it, you probably need to get another job." I'd quibble with "terrified" and want something less panicky like "frightened", but otherwise, he's very right.
I was always a bit scared when I powered up the table saw. All that ripping power and fingers are so fragile. I put my full attention on what I was doing every second I was using it.
The Ancient Nord Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.
@@wolfhors3_660 I enjoyed it a lot. I had a group of blind guys I would take on the regular and one just called me today to see if I could pick him up tomorrow and I felt kinda bad about having to tell him I quit. But, on the bright side, I won't have to deal with crack heads trying to rob me, people, who for some reason don't like cabs, trying to cut me off and put on the brakes, or the ridiculous $120/day lease on the vehicle.
Holy crap the accidental launching the journal off the ledge was hilarious, also sure it's totally the wind pulling the journal through the air in a straight line
Yup. Especially given the presence of the Red Mountain and ash fall. If the wind and presence of the mountains of Solstheim results in that much red mountain ash accumulating on Solstheim, it's likely the island has grown significantly over time, meaning much of present Solstheim was at some point, seabed. The original island of Solstheim with the rocky mountain and high elevation in the north was likely much smaller. Considering the Red Mountain predates the fourth era eruption and this isn't the first time it's erupted, it's likely got many layers of ash from different periods and different eruptions. If anything, the ash fall from an earlier eruption could be the very reason a shark would be fossilized.
I wondered how long it would take to mention the moving maniquins. I love you added it into the "house rules." Was it: Don't move around if your a stationary item? I liked Turner and Hooch!!! Nice touch.🤣
Vanilla, you need Illusion to 75 at which point Drevis at Winterhold (the Illusion scholar) will have it in stock. Just remember that invisible does _not_ mean undetectable, best to back it up with the Muffle spell, Muffled boots, Stealth skill and actually behaving stealthily. Hope that helps. :)
It's a script load thing. The script that tells them to stay put can be slowed down by other scripts, letting them wander a bit, and it only fires once one each area load. ICA from LOTD has made a mod that refires the script after everything has loaded, hopefully putting them back before you notice.
Armies cannot kill a dragon - only the Dragonborn can do that, and I don't think Miraak is likely to offer the Jarls his services. (And Dovahbunny, but he's Dragonborn too)
That's untrue. Armies can kill dragons. In fact, small groups of guards have killed Dragons. You can see it happen in Skrym itself, but it also happens in the lore. Dragons can be killed by anyone with the strength to do so. It's just that only a dragonborn can absorb their souls and prevent them from being brought back later. So the Jarl's could fight the dragons. It just means that maybe in a thousand years time their ancestors will have to do the same thing.
@@GophersVids Sorry, you (Gopher) and I know that, I was trying to look at it from an in-universe point of view - aside from dragons millenia ago, and only counting those that have died since Alduin's return in Helgen, Leonard has been present at the death of every dragon. Others can hurt dragons, but even the ones you and I know to be glitches still don't die until they're in his vicinity. So maybe the Jarls addressing the dragon problem means them trying to get him involved. And he's all "Nope, I get that me doing nothing means Alduin devours the world and not only do I die but so does all life, but I get to live slightly longer than trying to fight him, so yeah"
"The little blue-gray critters that live under rocks and logs and roll into a ball when disturbed go by many names: roly-poly bugs, pillbugs, woodlice, tiggy-hogs, parson-pigs and their scientific name, Armadillidium vulgare. Contrary to popular belief, roly-polies are not even technically bugs. But they do play an important role in ecosystems."
Here I thought Leonard was going to channel his inner Douglas Adams, and the whale thought from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But alas, my hopes were dashed. However, whatever Indigo is on, I am sure Leonard might not want any of. Calling that thing Fluffy.
Ralis. The one and only person, _ever,_ that can unnerve The Courier.
“He’s an atomiton he doesn’t have hopes”. Having heard this, Stewart sheds a silent tear of oil in his corner

I like how much Leonard likes his pets, and how uncomfortable he gets when he looses one. Poor Kitty scarred him for life.
Leonard: " Why isn't Queen Elisif organizing a response against Alduin?"
To be fair I wouldn't trust Elisif to organize a children's birthday party let alone a military response to a giant world eating dragon.
She's still waiting on her meeting with General Tulius. After that she'll have a plan I'm sure!
"Royce" dude. Rolls off the tongue.
*Indigo:* "Shouldn't we get back to the main quest?"
*Leonard:* "How about no?"
Oh my god the Turner & Hooch imitation was gold! Love it Gopher!
I loved it!!!
Aaaawh the Turner and Hooch reference makes my heart warm😀😀
Your instructions to the spider, particular about not killing locals and leaving them on the stoop, were *very* funny.
Lenny: "Look at my new pet "Fluffy"."
Fluffy: "Klank, Hiss, Klanketyklank, Rattlerattlerattlerattle."
Inigo: "Good Boy! (snickering)"
In the Hall of the Mountain King was a nice touch.
Wait, Ralis is starting to scare the _Courier?!_ The same guy that has no trouble tracking down literally everyone and seems to be immortal? Oh... Oh my.
Doesn't he just have the clairvoyance spell?
@@Patrickf5087funny you’re the first person I’ve seen to mention this (highly plausible) theory. :D

Inigo deserves his new toys every now and then aswell.
My headcanon is that he does it on purpose to scare the paralysed person like he shoots around him saying "i could end this now if i wanted to"
But Inigo loves his bow! And asks about if you're keeping it safe and such if you take it off of him

Borrowing from the Mistborn series, the weather where ashes fall from the sky is called *ashfall*
I lost it when the sugar plum fairy song started🤣

Nice throwback to Turner & Hooch! "This is not your room!" XD Loved it!! You are the best!!!
Turner and Hooch reference, "This is not your room" made my laugh
You'd be surprised how many ancient Nords couldn't pass that fitness test.
No, wait, sorry. That's ancient Nerds.

I still would have called it Balldrick. More fitting as in its uselessness. :)
I appreciate the Turner and Hooch reference. It was amazing.
Hahahah, i'm taking my sweet time with this series, but i'm slowly catching up. Love this episode! The part with 'house rules' was brilliant! :D
Nice. Something to watch while I'm waiting on a taxi to pick me up from quitting my taxi job and now I don't have a ride back home.
Ironic. He could give others a ride home…but not himself
Congratulations! Did a little cabbing in Fla for a bit. It was the worst and so were most of the cabbies.

I have a Daedric Mace called Fluffy.
Given how old the shark tooth may be. It's entirely possible this whole region was underwater back when the shark was alive.
Yup. Especially given the presence of the Red Mountain and ash fall. If the wind and presence of the mountains of Solstheim results in that much red mountain ash accumulating on Solstheim, it's likely the island has grown significantly over time, meaning much of present Solstheim was at some point, seabed.

I came looking for this comment...
Leonard: Speaks to mechanical spider as if it's a sentient being or a furry pet...
Irony is lost on Leonard! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Except it's not lost on him. He is acutely aware and annoyed by it when it happens :)
@@GophersVids
I’ll take your word for it. It’s definitely funny how these little things annoy Leonard so much!😂😂😂😂😂
When the classical music starts playing you know Leonard is serious.
Inigo: "I am still here, unfortunately"
No leg-humping or face-hugging? Leonard is such a killjoy.
And then stands at the open doorway that maybe on a timer...... hee, don't ever change Gopher.
Not even at Bard's Leap? (Where you are intended to use it.)
The Explorers Guild's track record on naming Dwarven automatons, seem about as sensible as Inigo.
I sense a family intervention in choosing “Fluffy” as a name… maybe?
Ancient Nord fitness test lol 😂
I quest the ancient nords are all brawns and less brains like their descendants
Another great episode ! Thank you dear Gopher !!!!!! 😂😂😂👍👍👍
@Gopher Should have called the Spidey-bot "Hooch" :P
Ancient Nord Fitness Test... That's almost as good as calling the Dwemer Sphere Ballsy 🤣
Yeah, I liked Rolly better.
Golden Snitch
Another video to make my day :)
I really need to figure out how to get the invisibility spell... That would increase my in-game life significantly.

It's ashing... Oh look an ashbow xD
A Turner and Hooch reference? In 2021? There's a callback.
Re: Ancient Nord Fitness Test. It was also a Short Attention Span Test. Which I failed. I will have to revisit the island so I can tick all the boxes.
is Gophers ENB making the Draugr glow green. Not just the eyes that is of course
You really should use those scrolls of Abjuration on this dragon priest.
An Ancient Nord dance hall!
Really no body got the Turner & Hooch reference ?
Fluffy? Remember Rolly?
I wonder why the unofficial patches couldn't fix the walking mannequin bug.

Good afternoon Gopher 😊

The Sphere should be called Rolly.
Too soon 😭
Those ancient Nord fitness tests are the WORST!!!!
Fluffy 😂😂😂
Roly-Poly would have been good name.

Just wondering does the shout that makes you ethereal let you pass through things like walls or gates?
No, it just negates all damage.
@@Techhunter_Talon thanks, can't believe I didn't know that, just never used it once in all these years
Rolland.. or is that to "American'ish"?!
Probably way too late since you most likely have 3 other episodes beyond this recorded by now, if not more. 😄
I think Leonard will wake up one morning and Indigo will be gone. On board the first ship back to Skyrim 😁
Indigo?...Inigo, like Inigo montoya from princess bride xD my auto correct tries to do that to
Wow Indigo is an amazing shot . . . When he wants to be
You should let automatons decide who they are! He, she, or it! :p

Wow im early
