Yep. You just wait for them to land or at least get down to eye level. I've never had success swinging at them; they're quite easy to catch if you're not trying to get the ones flying high.
For Saadia it's a bug. She's considered a Whiterun citizen so when she despawn she's considered dead and automatically get an urn in the hall of the dead
Probably ties in to the cloak spell, the flame cloak will kill then, thus you don’t even need to aim just press the mouse button and bam, instant wings

Another note on the veggie soup, is the health/stam regen stacks... So if you scoff down 5 veggie soups.. you regain 5 health/stam per second. The only downside is carrying a ton of soup takes up a fair bit of carry weight.. lol =P
Yep. You can suck down 8 or 10 and regenerate stamina faster than it gets used by running. I've seen people run completely thru bleakfalls barrow without engaging in any fighting with just a double-handful of soup.
main downside of vegetable soup is that you can't grow tomatoes in skyrim, so you need to steal every single one you find and check every merchant you come across and even then they usually don't have any or just a few. this is why venison stew is equally important.
Yes, this is an issue.. which is why most deer i come across, dont survive... =P But once i have a few soups on me.. any ingredients i get i store in a draw in front of the fire pit in Breezehome. after awhile, you end up with more than enough!
You have to be a decently high level in order for the black market merchant to sell daedric gear. If you unlock the power very early in your playthrough you'll be disappointed at his selection.
Where do you even find the book to learn the summoning spell for the black market demon? It sounds very useful for when you kill a dragon and/or something heavy that’s worth a lot.
Using the necromage perk and Bloodworm Helm in anniversary together, as a vampire, you can produce self-focused cloak-type spells so strong that a flame cloak will empty a dungeon before you can usually see the enemies.

Another option when sneaking is to be in 3rd person, draw a one handed weapon or bow while sneaking and moving forward and you'll move at normal speed. no perks needed. although I could be severely wrong as I haven't touched vanilla in a long while.

Blue butterfly + blue flower = 100% negate magic regen poison. Always (alchemy level doesn't matter). So wizards would just charge you holding an iron dagger after a few firebolts.
"Damage Magicka Regen" always reduces it by 100%, the only variable is how long it lasts. Also, there's possibly a bug because it seems to affect the victim's _base_ Mgicka regen rate instead of simply stacking with other Magicka regen effects. For comparison, if you play Survival Mode then this applies a -100% Health regen _effect_ by default meaning your Health does not regenerate at all without some "Regenerate Health" effect in play to offset it; contrast with transforming into werewolf form which applies a _base_ Health regeneration rate of zero which not only blocks any natural Health regeneration, it also blocks any "Regenerate Health" effects that you might have had before transforming.
As a veteran of Skyrim since the beginning, I have to openly admit I never knew about the Fortify Destruction since I have ALWAYS been a melee, archer, stealth dagger type of character that used magic more of healing, light, find the path type small minded uses.... But THAT sounds freakingly awesome that I have to try it out immediately :) Thanks :)
I think it was Spiffing Brit who had a video comparing it to a nuke. He resto looped to an insane amount, then used it to immediately kill everyone in a dungeon.
I'm not sure I understood this one correctly tbh. Does it mean that using fortify destruction potions with clothes that reduce magicka cost of destruction spells increases the area of effect of the spells?
If you have fortify destruction on an item of clothing & use resto potion to power it higher you can clear a whole dungeon just by entering and lighting up the cloak. Kinda makes the game boring but funny to see it. I even spawned in 20 giants and they all died before they could touch me.
Anyone who plays in survival mode knows the power of cooking (especially the ability for hot soups to keep you from freezing to death.) I've played around with the cloak spells but I may have to go back and enchant some armor with the Fortify Destruction enchantment. Then throw in a potion as well ...
Remember, of course, the Fortify Destruction _enchantment_ isn't the same as the Fortify Destruction _alchemy effect._ Enchantments reduce Magicka cost, alchemy increases the spell's actual effect.
You can also use offensive shouts such as Unrelenting Force and Fire Breath to kill multiple bugs/fish at a time; much easier than trying to slice each one with your sword.

oh I actually did once early on in my Skyrim life with my first character. I lock picked something in Riften that had valuable stuff in it, but then i got over encumbered, so I dropped the items. Someone around noted that I dropped something, and I think they said something about if i don't take it they will, seemingly unaware it was stolen goods.
I keep throwing my trash into the streets of Whiterun. On my latest playthrough the crossing near the entrance (between the smith and the hunter) has about a dozen couldrons, lots of rags, way too many buckets and brooms, and even some empty wine bottles. Basically all the stuff you might pick up in a dungeon, that aren't worth it, but you're not overencumbered so you keep them for the moment. Yeah, all of that lands in Whiterun right at the gate, so that everyone knows about the state of the city.
@@Frogleeoh that is also how you can make friends in the game. Drop something, they notice and ask you about it, tell them they can keep it. New friend. And depending on what it is, there might be more than one person interested and they start fighting over it.
@guitarandcomedy you literally just have to do something for her and you can have most of the stuff for free anyway lol. Everytime it respawns too, just not the void and fire salt, and the higher value potions
😂😂😂 You just wait! I’m years in, tens of playthroughs and hundreds of hours and I’m still learning new stuff. I struggle to understand how a game of this volume was created and so many years ago at that!
For the last one I think one thing that could fix the cooking mechanic by making it so you can level up your cooking stat over time so that food that would usually only replenish a minuscule amount of health could now replenish a lot more
The black market is incredible for farming dragon bone gear and rare armor. You can call him, check his inventory, wait 24 hours, repeat. It’s a little tedious but you can get really strong armor without grinding smithing.
Quest items and gear are weightless. You can pickpocket any gold/item amount from paralyzed people when they get up. Marked for death increases bash and punch damage. Marksman potions increase all physical damage. You can infinitly sprint with a 3rd person torch if you spam the sprint button as you run out of stamina
I stumbled on the Dremora Merchant by accident, and summoning him is literally the most used magic I have used in my playthrough. His purchase price was less than half of the value (w/out perks or enchanted apparel), but I sold so much looted crap to him I quickly accumulated gold.
As for number #3, don’t buy the potions from the trader in Riverwood until you retrieve the golden claw. Because they’ll be removed from his shelves and after you retrieve the claw you can just take them for free off the shelf.
Loathe to depopulate the inns, I prefer to leave Saadia intact and go kill Klamato. I get lots of curved swords, and like Partyslax, it's not for me to judge her past.
Parthurnax became good and helped defeat the dragons. Saadia betrayed her nation and doesn’t seem to far at all. You can’t compare the two. If she true felt bad she’d be in hammerfell fighting the dominion instead of in Skyrim hiding from the law.
Yea never knew about the dynamic shopping despite 2k hours. guess it just shows you how much you miss by paying more attention to stats than detail. Ill probably learn a lot more misc stuff like this when I do my no fast travel or carriages + no dialogue skip playthrough next year. I might also make it so I can only save whenever I'm in a city or house, but that'll come down to if that's to harsh or not. maybe just no saving while your clearing a location or something. I'm not doing legendary again. it wasn't too or anything but it locked you into using every skill in the game in conjunction in order to do anything that's like a tier above you until your end game, and that's bad for people like me who like to make coherent builds. I would still recommend a legendary playthrough though, as it was still some of the most fun I've had playing the game simply because of how chaotic it was, and yea skyrim+chaos is an amazing combination. And don't get me started on boss fights. Actual perfection. Why am I typing this again? Oh yea because I'm autistic or something and I'm obsessed with elder scrolls.
The easiest way to catch flying bugs is with the slow time shout. It's even easier if you take a fortify alteration potion to lengthen the duration of the slow time shout. They just hang there basically frozen for you to grab.
#3 was already in TES3 Morrowind almost decade prior to Skyrim. And in TES2 Daggerfall before that you actually clicked on the shelves to browse the wares and buy (or try to steal) them, though they were more like containers than loose in-world items. Some even older games, like Lands of Lore 1 actually had you click on the items in the shop, though one could argue the shops in those game were heavily dressed up menus.
Omg! It’s not that hard to catch the butterflies,,, they land quite often and sometimes you can catch them,ahem,,on top of another one ☺️😏…….also, you forgot to mention that when people, such as myself, play on survival mode, cooking food is absolutely essential in the game as hunger is no joke especially when in the north. So not freezing to death is saved by making hot soups with fire salts😉☺️
With skyrims timescale I never could stick with survival. Every few minutes you are hungry again, you get tired before you walk down the street. .And changing the timescale feels weird given the map size.
@@Ahglock I am on my 41st character, so I try to make the game as challenging as possible… and you would be surprised how many potato soups and salmon patties one can carry☺️😉…and it doesn’t really take that long to walk from Riften to Markarth 😄…and it makes carriages more useful as well👍
Having a horse in survival is essential also. 1) The bus goes places but not there when you leave. (Winterhold, etc. ) but the faithful horse will be waiting for you. 2) weight does not matter so hop on no matter how many cucumbers you are over. 3) ATV. The horse can go where you can’t walk. 4) best form of “fast travel” survival mode.
@@robertbartels3742 I agree, so as soon as I am able to make it to the college of Winterhold, I get the quest for the unicorn,, the only horse I get.. I find it has a lot of stamina to be able to get away from enemies ☺️
@@Ahglockmy problem too. In new Vegas is much better survival mode. You need to make overhaul of Skyrims one to make it better. Some dudes have it really better like you even learn how to pelt animals and over time getting better. You need to cut your wood off trees and all those things. And if you find some mod where on map will show camps i think it will be great but by itself is not. You just leave building and your freezing to dead and so on. Yeah but folks of town with kids just roam around like there is no tomorrow. 🫥
No doubt about it, the Black Market power is excellent. But the realm of Apocrypha is pretty tough for someone at an early level, nevermind whatever difficulty one would face to get that Black Book in the first place. (Can't think of it at the moment.) Hell, just Solstheim itself is frustrating if you're under-leveled. So it may be better to just wait a bit longer to get that set of Daedric armor... Though that is a sweet reward... (I guess one could just lower the difficulty of the game for those instances.) I don't know why, but the ability to Force-shout and strike bugs out of the air doesn't seem to work on dragonflies in either console versions of the game I've played (PS3, Switch), despite being shown in some videos as working on them specifically. It's like the game can't load in their dead forms, so it just doesn't do it at all. To be fair, the Alik'r said Saadia would come to no harm on her way back to Hammerfell, hinting that her treachery may be enough to put her to death over once they brought her back to face justice. (I think others have pointed out the urn as being a "glitch" of sorts anyway; even if a character is removed from the settlement they are assigned to permanently rather than killed, the game considers it a death. Apparently, in the case of a Stormcloak victory in the civil war, Ondolemar will, of course, be removed permanently, and one can supposedly find an urn for him in Markarth's Hall of the Dead - though that could also be a remnant of the uninitiated plans for the civil war questline, wherein Galmar himself kills Ondolemar.) Plus, I find it hard to believe Saadia's story of the Alik'r working for the Aldmeri Dominion, given that the Alik'r fought so hard to get the Dominion OUT of Hammerfell after the first version of White-Gold Concordate gave them a crap deal. Though I guess it's possible the Dominion hired some mercenaries to pose as Alik'r, but Saadia makes no mention of such deception, and pretty much confirms them as being Alik'r. ...Ugh... Sometimes the only way to win is by not playing at all. (Edit: And now that I've learned this for myself, I have to mention it... Supposedly there are some magics that your "traditional" types in Hammerfell look down upon, so the fact that Kematu uses a paralysis spell is pretty suspect... UNLESS it's the game developers making things easier by not having to program in some new animations for other methods, etc. of securing Saadia. I dunno. I'm not even sure if the paralysis spell is of one of the schools that Redguards might look down upon.)
For Saadia you could not only argue that it's because of the way the factions in Skyrim are coded (Saadia is in Whiterun Faction = Saadia Burial Urn in Catacombs) but also this: Let's say the punishment Saadia receives Hammerfell is execution, it would make a lot of sense to send her remains to the last place of where she had been at "home". Which tends to be Whiterun.
A little tip for stealth builds if you are crouched and put your weapon away and pull it back out the game will glitch your movement speed and you will move as fast as if you were standing
Even the original Fable had the feature where, if you buy something, it disappears from the display, if you steal it, its no longer for sale. I can't believe people were that impressed with RDR2
6:30, theres a glitch where bhopping while crouched you jump farther and higher as a breton whilst keeping most of your momentum, so speed bhop sneaking is my go to, but im guessing the walkspeed might be faster
I've been doing the infinite stamina veggie soup thing forever lol cabbages leeks potatoes and tomatoes, constantly collecting them and stocking up my cupboard with hundreds of baggie soup cups. In my head cannon, my character just has an insulated waterskin filled with soup lol
Js, butterfly hunting is literally one of my absolute favorite aspects of Skyrim 😂😂I can really get carried away sometimes 😅😅 I'll tell you why he has trouble catching them, cuz he runs up on them all loud, if you sneak, it's SO easy😂
Another interesting fact: Elemental Fury is bugged, and when you're hungry in survival mode, it boosts your swings to a much higher effect than if you were Satiated.
Number one overlooked mechanic: The Main Quest No joke, I was playing this game for ELEVEN YEARS before I finally decided to do the main quest. Why? Because I saw a TH-cam video of Alvin talking, And I Had No Idea The Dragon Spoke!
I only just noticed the shop item stuff recently, went through their menu then just decided to look around and was surprised that everything was on display somewhere and shop keep even suggested looking around at his wares
Never played the game, started playing a week ago. At first i didnt even knew what to do, now i'm loving it (already did the level 100 pickpocket trick🤓)
May I highly recommend pure race builds. So each race starts with 1 skill at 25 and 5 skills at 20. Level only those skills. Makes replaying the game with each race a fun challenge each time and gets you using skills and perks you probably wouldn't of used/chosen normally. I had an imperial with blades armour and daedric weapons. Were they the best items? No. Not at all. Did they suit the character? Absolutely they did. Was infinitely more fun having characters that had weaknesses built into them. Few characters have archery as a skill. So its always up closer and personal against dragons for a lot of characters
If you stack enchanted ring necklace and circlet with shout times it can be so much fun using cyclone on everyone , it gets to the point where they cant even stand up before you finish them off. Even giants and bears arent safe hahahaha!
I have not played video games in over half a year. Il be playing Skyrim or ESO again when I do. As excited I was for Starfield I just cant help it. All that new content for Skyrim im all over it after I complete my warhammer 40k army.
Skyrim has disposition. But unlike in Oblivion, the game doesn't show you an NPCs disposition and has no minigame to influence it. But it influence which things you can take from their home, if they are willing to marry, and many more trhings.
During civil war in Whiterun I had a broken destruction potion from the restoration loop and I used my flame cloak to prepare for battle and literally every npc that spawned was obliterated before I even got to see them. It was very anticlimactic actually
6:10 You can also just jump or sheath and unsheath your weapon over and over to increase your speed. The Unofficial Skyrim Patch doesn't patch it either, not like it patches many glitches anyway.
when skyim was under testing, they had an issue with the intro scene wagon glitching out. It turns out it was a bee or butterfly. Also i never knew the conclusive evidence of a "correct" choice for the Saadia quest

It can be, but sometimes the chase has frustrated me so much that I just want to get my vengeance by killing them with a Force Shout. 😆
But continuous spells or AOE spells like fire make it much easier.

I keep throwing my trash into the streets of Whiterun. On my latest playthrough the crossing near the entrance (between the smith and the hunter) has about a dozen couldrons, lots of rags, way too many buckets and brooms, and even some empty wine bottles.
Basically all the stuff you might pick up in a dungeon, that aren't worth it, but you're not overencumbered so you keep them for the moment.
Yeah, all of that lands in Whiterun right at the gate, so that everyone knows about the state of the city.
@@Frogleeoh that is also how you can make friends in the game. Drop something, they notice and ask you about it, tell them they can keep it. New friend.
And depending on what it is, there might be more than one person interested and they start fighting over it.

I'm doing a semi-unarmed (still using bow for dragons and one handed in a pinch) khajit run right now and the kill animations are amazing
the bow is gone once you can meow dragons from the sky
I knew about the interactive shopping thanks to Arcadia's cauldron
I always stole it all before I interacted with her 😂
I only stole a couple
@guitarandcomedy you literally just have to do something for her and you can have most of the stuff for free anyway lol. Everytime it respawns too, just not the void and fire salt, and the higher value potions
Out of my 20+ hours playing Skyrim I still learn stuff new. It truly is a masterpiece of a game.
20 😂😂 rookie numbers bud. You gotta pump those numbers up
I am sure you'll be discovering new stuff even after 200+ 😄
😂😂😂 You just wait! I’m years in, tens of playthroughs and hundreds of hours and I’m still learning new stuff.
I struggle to understand how a game of this volume was created and so many years ago at that!
20 hours ain’t an achievement in Skyrim my dude
I'm 1830 hrs in Skyrim and still finding new stuff.
For the last one I think one thing that could fix the cooking mechanic by making it so you can level up your cooking stat over time so that food that would usually only replenish a minuscule amount of health could now replenish a lot more
Oh man it's been 3 months you know I've been craving skyrim videos
I just kill butterflies in-game with "Marked for Death".
Deep calming voice, a well edited video, and Skyrim. Yeah you just got a subscriber.
The black market is incredible for farming dragon bone gear and rare armor. You can call him, check his inventory, wait 24 hours, repeat. It’s a little tedious but you can get really strong armor without grinding smithing.
Being able to continuously doing power attacks after "eating your veggies" (vegetable soup) seems very fitting
Quest items and gear are weightless. You can pickpocket any gold/item amount from paralyzed people when they get up. Marked for death increases bash and punch damage. Marksman potions increase all physical damage. You can infinitly sprint with a 3rd person torch if you spam the sprint button as you run out of stamina
I stumbled on the Dremora Merchant by accident, and summoning him is literally the most used magic I have used in my playthrough. His purchase price was less than half of the value (w/out perks or enchanted apparel), but I sold so much looted crap to him I quickly accumulated gold.
As for number #3, don’t buy the potions from the trader in Riverwood until you retrieve the golden claw. Because they’ll be removed from his shelves and after you retrieve the claw you can just take them for free off the shelf.
So glad there’s a new Skyrim vid up!❤
I have over 1000 hours in Skyrim, and some of these things I didn't even know lol. Simply incredible.
Me too, just short of 1900 hours and still learning new things about it feels amazing
Playing this for thousands of hours and still learning something new, thanks!
4:16 but being that an urn it could also easily be a fake to justify her disappearance
Loathe to depopulate the inns, I prefer to leave Saadia intact and go kill Klamato. I get lots of curved swords, and like Partyslax, it's not for me to judge her past.
Partysnacks*
Parthurnax became good and helped defeat the dragons. Saadia betrayed her nation and doesn’t seem to far at all. You can’t compare the two. If she true felt bad she’d be in hammerfell fighting the dominion instead of in Skyrim hiding from the law.
"attacking a bug is much easier" takes 3 times as long to get
I just started playing again... for the 9000th time! :)
After 10 years, I just re-installed it last night. Played for six hours straight. Getting up for work was absolutely no fun!
"Could" pickpocket an organ? More like can & will.
(Briarhearts)
Yea never knew about the dynamic shopping despite 2k hours. guess it just shows you how much you miss by paying more attention to stats than detail. Ill probably learn a lot more misc stuff like this when I do my no fast travel or carriages + no dialogue skip playthrough next year. I might also make it so I can only save whenever I'm in a city or house, but that'll come down to if that's to harsh or not. maybe just no saving while your clearing a location or something. I'm not doing legendary again. it wasn't too or anything but it locked you into using every skill in the game in conjunction in order to do anything that's like a tier above you until your end game, and that's bad for people like me who like to make coherent builds. I would still recommend a legendary playthrough though, as it was still some of the most fun I've had playing the game simply because of how chaotic it was, and yea skyrim+chaos is an amazing combination. And don't get me started on boss fights. Actual perfection.
Why am I typing this again? Oh yea because I'm autistic or something and I'm obsessed with elder scrolls.
Well, if my memory is correct, morrowind actually introduced this mechanic
You mentioned it, but shouts are way more effective than swinging a weapon.
The easiest way to catch flying bugs is with the slow time shout. It's even easier if you take a fortify alteration potion to lengthen the duration of the slow time shout. They just hang there basically frozen for you to grab.
I don't always have a heavy load, and can't quite make it to town in time, but when I do, I go to the Black Market Pocket Demon.
Back in the Morrowind days I always kept a few bottles o' sujamma to solve that problem
Damn I had no idea npcs could interact with dropped items
Did you know that you can wield a pickaxe as a weapon (or dual wield) and spam hit ore deposits instead pressing 'e' and waiting 5 hours to mine it👍
Haven't stop play Skyrim this whole time but I totally forgot what vanilla Skyrim looked like.
#3 was already in TES3 Morrowind almost decade prior to Skyrim.
And in TES2 Daggerfall before that you actually clicked on the shelves to browse the wares and buy (or try to steal) them, though they were more like containers than loose in-world items.
Some even older games, like Lands of Lore 1 actually had you click on the items in the shop, though one could argue the shops in those game were heavily dressed up menus.
can't believe there are still new things to learn about Skyrim, great video
Going fishing with a warhammer was already on my list and now I also want to try shouting and casting fireballs on butterflies.
Nice. I recently punched a sabre cat to death just because I could
Trying to catch a butterfly should be difficult. I actually like that you have to mash the button or slash at the air to get them.
Omg! It’s not that hard to catch the butterflies,,, they land quite often and sometimes you can catch them,ahem,,on top of another one ☺️😏…….also, you forgot to mention that when people, such as myself, play on survival mode, cooking food is absolutely essential in the game as hunger is no joke especially when in the north. So not freezing to death is saved by making hot soups with fire salts😉☺️
With skyrims timescale I never could stick with survival. Every few minutes you are hungry again, you get tired before you walk down the street. .And changing the timescale feels weird given the map size.
@@Ahglock I am on my 41st character, so I try to make the game as challenging as possible… and you would be surprised how many potato soups and salmon patties one can carry☺️😉…and it doesn’t really take that long to walk from Riften to Markarth 😄…and it makes carriages more useful as well👍
Having a horse in survival is essential also. 1) The bus goes places but not there when you leave. (Winterhold, etc. ) but the faithful horse will be waiting for you.
2) weight does not matter so hop on no matter how many cucumbers you are over.
3) ATV. The horse can go where you can’t walk.
4) best form of “fast travel” survival mode.
@@robertbartels3742 I agree, so as soon as I am able to make it to the college of Winterhold, I get the quest for the unicorn,, the only horse I get.. I find it has a lot of stamina to be able to get away from enemies ☺️
@@Ahglockmy problem too. In new Vegas is much better survival mode. You need to make overhaul of Skyrims one to make it better. Some dudes have it really better like you even learn how to pelt animals and over time getting better. You need to cut your wood off trees and all those things. And if you find some mod where on map will show camps i think it will be great but by itself is not. You just leave building and your freezing to dead and so on. Yeah but folks of town with kids just roam around like there is no tomorrow. 🫥
When im overencumbered I give the stuff to my follower
And any animal companions if you have the "Pets of Skyrim" mod. The goat can carry something like 90 pounds.
I do system and no mods can be put on there
Pickpocketing someone who is paralyzed doesn't work for me...
No doubt about it, the Black Market power is excellent. But the realm of Apocrypha is pretty tough for someone at an early level, nevermind whatever difficulty one would face to get that Black Book in the first place. (Can't think of it at the moment.) Hell, just Solstheim itself is frustrating if you're under-leveled. So it may be better to just wait a bit longer to get that set of Daedric armor... Though that is a sweet reward... (I guess one could just lower the difficulty of the game for those instances.)
I don't know why, but the ability to Force-shout and strike bugs out of the air doesn't seem to work on dragonflies in either console versions of the game I've played (PS3, Switch), despite being shown in some videos as working on them specifically. It's like the game can't load in their dead forms, so it just doesn't do it at all.
To be fair, the Alik'r said Saadia would come to no harm on her way back to Hammerfell, hinting that her treachery may be enough to put her to death over once they brought her back to face justice. (I think others have pointed out the urn as being a "glitch" of sorts anyway; even if a character is removed from the settlement they are assigned to permanently rather than killed, the game considers it a death. Apparently, in the case of a Stormcloak victory in the civil war, Ondolemar will, of course, be removed permanently, and one can supposedly find an urn for him in Markarth's Hall of the Dead - though that could also be a remnant of the uninitiated plans for the civil war questline, wherein Galmar himself kills Ondolemar.) Plus, I find it hard to believe Saadia's story of the Alik'r working for the Aldmeri Dominion, given that the Alik'r fought so hard to get the Dominion OUT of Hammerfell after the first version of White-Gold Concordate gave them a crap deal. Though I guess it's possible the Dominion hired some mercenaries to pose as Alik'r, but Saadia makes no mention of such deception, and pretty much confirms them as being Alik'r.
...Ugh... Sometimes the only way to win is by not playing at all.
(Edit: And now that I've learned this for myself, I have to mention it... Supposedly there are some magics that your "traditional" types in Hammerfell look down upon, so the fact that Kematu uses a paralysis spell is pretty suspect... UNLESS it's the game developers making things easier by not having to program in some new animations for other methods, etc. of securing Saadia. I dunno. I'm not even sure if the paralysis spell is of one of the schools that Redguards might look down upon.)
For Saadia you could not only argue that it's because of the way the factions in Skyrim are coded (Saadia is in Whiterun Faction = Saadia Burial Urn in Catacombs) but also this:
Let's say the punishment Saadia receives Hammerfell is execution, it would make a lot of sense to send her remains to the last place of where she had been at "home". Which tends to be Whiterun.
My favorite mechanic is not knowing anything about the game so everything feels like a personal discovery and the game is 10x more fun.
A little tip for stealth builds if you are crouched and put your weapon away and pull it back out the game will glitch your movement speed and you will move as fast as if you were standing
Even the original Fable had the feature where, if you buy something, it disappears from the display, if you steal it, its no longer for sale.
I can't believe people were that impressed with RDR2
6:30, theres a glitch where bhopping while crouched you jump farther and higher as a breton whilst keeping most of your momentum, so speed bhop sneaking is my go to, but im guessing the walkspeed might be faster
I love how you can't even sell stolen items to a litteral DEMON without a perk lol
I've been doing the infinite stamina veggie soup thing forever lol cabbages leeks potatoes and tomatoes, constantly collecting them and stocking up my cupboard with hundreds of baggie soup cups. In my head cannon, my character just has an insulated waterskin filled with soup lol
Js, butterfly hunting is literally one of my absolute favorite aspects of Skyrim 😂😂I can really get carried away sometimes 😅😅 I'll tell you why he has trouble catching them, cuz he runs up on them all loud, if you sneak, it's SO easy😂
Another interesting fact: Elemental Fury is bugged, and when you're hungry in survival mode, it boosts your swings to a much higher effect than if you were Satiated.
Oh go on then, I'll start a brand new play through.
Number one overlooked mechanic: The Main Quest
No joke, I was playing this game for ELEVEN YEARS before I finally decided to do the main quest. Why? Because I saw a TH-cam video of Alvin talking, And I Had No Idea The Dragon Spoke!
Does chain lightning chain on bugs too? Be pretty cool to bug zap a bunch of em at once.
these are some well written and informative videos.
thank you...subbed
Dragenborn sees butterfly.
Also Dragenborn: "What a pretty butterfly, let me just.. Fus roh dah" 😅
number 7 is slightly wrong;
you don't get xp from stealing while paralysis is in effect.
(From what I've experienced)
I only just noticed the shop item stuff recently, went through their menu then just decided to look around and was surprised that everything was on display somewhere and shop keep even suggested looking around at his wares
I was wondering when u were gonna make a another skyrim vid, keep at it
For Number 3, you could do the same in Oblivion. Crazy detail for such an old game when you think about it
I DON’T NEED ANY MORE REASONS NOOOO-
*New Game started*
Shout unrelenting force drops flying bugs to the ground
Never played the game, started playing a week ago. At first i didnt even knew what to do, now i'm loving it (already did the level 100 pickpocket trick🤓)
May I highly recommend pure race builds.
So each race starts with 1 skill at 25 and 5 skills at 20.
Level only those skills.
Makes replaying the game with each race a fun challenge each time and gets you using skills and perks you probably wouldn't of used/chosen normally.
I had an imperial with blades armour and daedric weapons. Were they the best items? No. Not at all.
Did they suit the character? Absolutely they did.
Was infinitely more fun having characters that had weaknesses built into them.
Few characters have archery as a skill.
So its always up closer and personal against dragons for a lot of characters
this dude has such an amazing voice
If you stack enchanted ring necklace and circlet with shout times it can be so much fun using cyclone on everyone , it gets to the point where they cant even stand up before you finish them off. Even giants and bears arent safe hahahaha!
SAADIA DOESNT ACTUALLY DIE, ITS A GAME LIMITATION TO "DESPAWN" HER
I have not played video games in over half a year. Il be playing Skyrim or ESO again when I do. As excited I was for Starfield I just cant help it. All that new content for Skyrim im all over it after I complete my warhammer 40k army.
I never stopped playing
Damnit...just when I thought I had escaped Skyrim, I get sucked back in.
Skyrim has disposition. But unlike in Oblivion, the game doesn't show you an NPCs disposition and has no minigame to influence it. But it influence which things you can take from their home, if they are willing to marry, and many more trhings.
During civil war in Whiterun I had a broken destruction potion from the restoration loop and I used my flame cloak to prepare for battle and literally every npc that spawned was obliterated before I even got to see them. It was very anticlimactic actually
very interesting! great quality video too.
Cooking: garlic bread will remove all status effects & only weighs 0.1. Potions are 0.5. Trick is finding butter...
One more thing about the vegetable soup (I’m pretty sure this is true): it stacks
I learned a thing! Thank you! 😘
Now I need to find out if I can flame shout at the butterflies. Lol
I thought I knew everything until #4. I may have to go play again 😄
Saadia has cracking norks .....so i have to side with her
6:10 You can also just jump or sheath and unsheath your weapon over and over to increase your speed. The Unofficial Skyrim Patch doesn't patch it either, not like it patches many glitches anyway.
Destruction spells: Buff fire spells. aaaaaand. This also amplifies fire breath shout. Etc. there is a lot of things which can be stich together
when skyim was under testing, they had an issue with the intro scene wagon glitching out. It turns out it was a bee or butterfly. Also i never knew the conclusive evidence of a "correct" choice for the Saadia quest
Number 4 may actually be a place holder since she is effectively removed/dead in game
Hitting a butterfly with a sword is way harder than just grabbing it
Accuracy while swinging a sword is a lot harder than accuracy while pressing interact. I’ve never had an issue with grabbing a bug out of the air
