Holy crap! My mod, Relics of Hyrule, is featured in this video! My Master Sword shows up at 13:09, Goddess Sword at 13:30, Terminan Bow and Hylian Shield on his Zelda wife at 13:47 and in later clips as well! (I didn't make the Zelda wife). Really cool to see it in use! Recent updates added a museum space, too, for all those completionists out there. I'm still working on parts of that for my next update, but it's fully functional in the latest release of Relics of Hyrule!
I love Skyrim, but it really is the pinnacle of “Play It”. Finishing the main story is really just another quest, and completing this game is absurd. Mods turn it from an okay game with a lot of content to an amazing customizable experience. Its crazy.
This may not have been the case if they had put some more effort into the main quest. Morrowind and Oblivion both had main story lines that were much better executed in terms of writing. Not to mention that a large portion of the main quest was completely broken on release of Skyrim and wouldn't even trigger the script for advancement without doing some magical song and dance with saving and loading out of locations, whereby you got the progress but none of the dialogue from an npc that was just broken.
To be fair, Skyrim should never be completed, at least not in one playthrough. It's already absurd being able to join the thieves guild while playing an honorable warrior, and vice versa.
With over 100Gb of mods installed and well over 2000 hours of my free time invested into customizing Skyrim, I can honestly say, it was one of the most interesting, enjoyable and technically significant experiences I've ever had in over 40 years of gaming. It's no longer installed on any of my machines, but it will always hold a special place in my heart as the game that turned me onto modding.
Absolutely been looking forward to this. Having just completed Skyrim with a bunch of mods myself around Legacy of the Dragonborn, incredibly well done! Glad you finished this before the new version of Skyrim bombs a bunch of mods for a bit!
You can set your game to only update when you launch it through Steam, and then only launch the game through the SKSE Loader. This will prevent your mods from breaking.
went frame-by-frame to read the list of mods. my favorite, by far, just by name alone, is 'immersive beds'. we all need beds to be more immersive. #ImmersiveBeds
I love playing with the Legacy of the Dragonborn mod, it adds a museum were you can display anything that you collect including the armor/weapons you get when you become thane
I always feel bad because I am usually thane of two or three cities before I have a house, so the weapons and armor they give me usually get disenchanted because I am NOT carrying them around for ages when I have loot to carry and better weapons, anyway.
@@abrachoo true but due to the nature of the video he doesn't go too much into it, there are some people that don't know what that mod does, for instance there are multiple patches for multiple quest displays, there's a "secret" area in the dragonborn hall for all the "underworld" quest and tons of other areas/displays
Skyrim will always have a special place in my heart. Just hearing the soundtrack hits me super hard with major nostalgia. Mods do make it so much better, but there’s also something about vanilla Skyrim that’s just so great.
I remember the OG episode of this bad boy, and I had the specific thought that "This man must be insane." The episode was fantastic and really sold the weight of responsibility of having to 100% complete this thang. I can't believe this is episode 97! Congrats! Most hard-working channel on the platform!
To Charlie the editor: I would recommend the movie Contact. It's based off the book by Carl Sagan and it's one of my favorite movies ever, it's a great sci-fi movie! But Skyrim is an amazing game. I have near 1000 hours in it and my wife has over 6000 hours. The amount of customizability is enormous and keeps bringing me back to try a new playthrough that always just ends up as a stealth archer lol. Any type of gamer can pick up this game and enjoy it. I converted my CoD/Battlefield only gamer friend into an RPG lover because of Skyrim and he's never looked back. Now, I'm just patiently waiting for Elder Scrolls VI that'll come out in another 5 to 1000 years from now.
This is the kindest "play it" rating that you have ever given. I have been looking forward to this review ever since you announced NG+, and I am glad that you played the definitive version this time in the most enjoyable way possible for you.
Mods that let you use the Master Sword, the Buster sword, turn spiders into Spider-Man, and turn dragons into Macho Man are awesome, but this video gave me a new appreciation for mods that streamline the game and make it a much smoother experience.
This was one of the hardest parts of the older videos being taken down, because this was one of my favourite episodes of the classic 'The Completionist' series. Jirard living up to his middle name is great, and the parody of 'Don't Stop Believin' has lived rent-free in my head for years.
@@frankyhorn2475 The one fellow in the older videos wanted them all taken down, can't remember his name. I know someone will mention his name but honestly... just don't. It adds nothing to the conversation, just junk data.
Honestly, I can't think of a playthrough where I don't have the mod "Legacy of the Dragonborn". From Thief, to Assassin, to Mage and Warrior, there's something for everyone with that one mod and it's quite compatible with dozens of other mods including additional patches to make them so and vice versa. But although fun, it can be a full on Completionist Nightmare if you're trying to get EVERYTHING with LotD, even more so with the additional mod and Creation Club support. If I recall my last playthrough, I had like over 1000 displays, completed all the LotD quests minus the LotD guild quests, and I've YET to complete any of the original game questlines such as the main questline, the guilds, I became Thane of two or three holds but that was it. The amount of effort it would take to 100% this mod, especially with additional mods atop of it like VIGILANT, Konahrik's Accoutrements, Royal Armory, Fossil Mining, Artifacts of Skyrim, Oblivion Artifacts, Skyrim Sewers, Wyrmstooth, Tools of Kagrenak, Moon and Star, Undeath, Skyrim Sewers, and every single Creation Club Content and then some to boot! If there's one thing I would say bad about LotD, if you think you can 100% this mod with all the given mods it's compatible and patched with, you're going to be in for a really bad time. At the very least, you will be playing this game religiously to the point where even if you reach LV162 which I believe that's the highest level you can achieve with all of your skills becoming legendary once, you'll still not be done collecting everything.
Skyrim and Oblivion are games really close to my heart.....my dad died in 2011, so I found comfort playing Oblivion...waiting the lauch of Skyrim. Jeremy Soule's soundtrack for both games are carved in my mind!!
@@zacsch5364 The Daggerfall game lets you explore the entire continent of Tamriel It's also been released for free by Bethesda if you wanna check it out. Pretty sure the version that the elder scrolls wiki has is supposed to be the best one
"129 mods used" >Laughs in 500 mod list but seriously, its great to find another lover of mods! i'm over joyed that you had a great time and have some one else to share that love.
That's impressive. Usually beyond 200 mods for me something will bugger up that LOOT doesn't notice and I'll have to decide between dealing with missing models / textures / etc or starting the mod profile again from scratch. It's been a long time since I've actually played the game; modding it and testing everything is working is all I've done with it in the last few years.
@@DaedalusRaistlin 400 is doable if you are careful about not picking things that overlap, but I agree that anything over 200-250 just isn't worth the loss in stability.
@@zerentheunskilled ive definitely got over 250 mods on my vcr xbone with next to no hit on performance (since porters finally realized bundling mods bypasses the 150 plugin limit). Like you mentioned, only thing you really gotta worry about is sht overlapping
I'm not surprised that you've completed Skyrim, you're just that good and determined. PS, if you ever want to play again for fun and want to have an amazing follower along for the journey, I can't recommend Inigo enough.
The no spider mods is THE main reason why I prefer Skyrim on PC, laugh if you want but the sheer exxaduration of the frostbite spiders genuinely unnerves me to the point where I don't even like staring at the screen when they're around
I'm definitely with you. They freak me a lot and I too can't look at them or walk around their dead bodies without feeling uncomfortable. I don't want to remove them from the game just because that's a whole enemy type, but something like the spiderman spider mod is great just because they don't have their big STUPID FACES. Buy ayyy, afraid of frostbite spider solidarity cx
"No spiders" mod is HILARIOUS! That's the beauty of the mod community, I've never even thought of that being an issue but someone else with knowledge in programming did that for you.
And yet, even with the mods you have installed on this, there's just so much more you can add to flesh it out further. DLC expansions, Graphic Overhauls (I was kinda disappointed that you didn't make the game look much better - really enhances the experience), difficulty improvements, etc. Lots of good mods in there, and I'm happy you were able to have a fun time!
Just saw The Rescue recently, great documentary about the soccer team of kids that was trapped in the cave in Thailand. Highly recommend it. Also saw The Thing (80s) for the first time last month, on the off chance the editor hasn't seen that yet, give it a viewing!
I love The Thing! John Carpenter is an amazing director and those practical effects have yet to be beaten. Absolutely awesome. I'll have to check out The Rescue, I didnt know they did a documentary about that!
Hey Charlie, I would suggest Hamilton on Disney plus, young Frankenstein if you’re into older comedies, blazing saddles as well, forgetting Sarah Marshall for new age comedy, but I also suggest you see lastnight in soho
I absolutely love the films of Mel Brooks, he's easily one of my favorite directors, and when he and Gene Wilder team up it's amazing. I loved Hamilton as well! I saw it on stage as a graduation present years back, the show on Disney plus is wonderful, but nothing beats the live theatre lol. Also loved Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I haven't seen it in years though. I still need t see Last Night in Soho, I'm a huge Edgar Wright fan so it's been on my list for a while now. Thank's for the rec's!
I'm very happy you went with the pc version, even with mods. I've been thinking about your inevitable skyrim rerun and was afraid you'd burn out of it before recompletion. Super good dedication brother
Believe it or not, Bethesda actually gave the SKSE team an early copy of Anniversary Edition so they could update SKSE to work with Anniversary Edition *sooner* instead of later; so *now* we actually have mods that're actually *integrating* the Creation Club content *into* the mods, like a mod that connects the Rielle of The Cause to the Rielle of Beyond Skyrim Bruma to make it into one *gigantic* Rielle. And since Anniversary Edition's more like a DLC, downloading mods like that *might* make you wanna play the game one more time.
Conan, what is best in life? Revenge, served cold, and Skyrim with mods. Especially that one where the dragons are macho man Randy Savage. I'm very fond of that one.
My New Game + completionist challenge for Skyrim is to actually play the game again. All I've done for the last few years is start my mod list from scratch for any number of reasons, tweak it and keep adding / breaking / reordering / removing stuff and launching the game to check if it's all working nicely. If it isn't, fix it. If it is, add another few mods. If it all breaks, start again. This is the true Elder Scrolls experience for me.
Charlie, the editor, one of my go to comedies is Big Trouble. A cast filled with stars. It's from early 2000s, so it's still got some problematic things here and there, but there's some solid bits in there and the plot revolves around a bunch of personalities, so it's never a 'slow' movie. Thanks for editing stuff, only paused once and lucky I saw the movie recommendation part.
I’ve owned this game since it came out, and I’ve never finished the main story. The fact that you completed this game twice is astounding. Well done sir
You know, I never got to watch your Skyrim episode. By the time I found you, that episode had already been lost to time. When I saw the title to this video, I didn't even think it was a New Game Plus episode, I thought it was just another video of yours. Excited to be able to hear about how mods helped this time because boy oh boy, I woulda dropped Skyrim years ago if it weren't for them.
Just a couple of weeks ago I finished up my own playthrough of Skyrim. This was my very first time playing it, believe it or not and I played it completely vanilla with the Legendary Edition. I did not complete it, mind you, I just did what I consider a full playthrough within reasonable limits and I now get why the game still has so much staying power but is also getting modded to hell and back. It is a game you can build up on like crazy. I ended up liking it slightly less than the Fallout games I played but I still do not regret a single second of it.
I didn't finish it until I'd owned it for some 6 years. Played it a ton in that time, had tons of fun. Eventually figured I should do the main quest. No shame in leaving it for (quite) a while though.
Mr. Editor, I enjoyed the new Dune movie. My son and I have also been binging cheesetastic movies from my childhood: Flash Gordon, Last Starfighter, Monster Squad, Lost Boys, etc.
So many recommendations for Dune! I think I'm gonna have to see it now. I love those cheesetastic movies lol, Lost Boys was one of the first horror movies I ever saw and it made me fall in love with that B-movie feel!
When you announced the new game plus series, thinking of you revisiting this game gave me an ulcer. So happy it’s done for you! 😄 also, congrats on 10 years! 😁
Hi Charlie, after this I'd figure watching Fellowship of the Ring would be nice and on point. Perhaps one day a google doc list of mods used would be available for those interested in the list. what I saw was amazing and I'm definitely looking at getting a copy for PC now due to the UI fixes I saw in the mods used.
I've been making video guides for so many things within skyrim for work. Just learning about the Sky Complete Mod alone could make my life SO much simpler. That and this video is doing a good job of convincing me that I should customize the game I've been using a little more (since they are guides meants for both PC and Console, can't go too deep down the rabbit hole of customization). And then having to go down a rabbit hole to find the SkyComplete Mod for Skyrim Legendary...
I was just thinking about the old Skyrim video and how funny it was. It kind of makes me sad how much this channel has steered away from light hearted jokes to a more dry normal review channel.
i personally love playing skyrim even without mods, i grew up on the ps3 version, yeah, not even the legendary version. Skyrim is my favorite game of all time, and i wont apologize for that lol
I beat Skyrim once on 360. Didn't touch the game again until I bought it for XB1. The reason? I heard XB1 had a vast library of mods (not as much as PC, but way more than PS4). With a little modding, my copy of Skyrim has better FPS, combat, role-playing aspects such as reputation and an alternate start and I have access to the Black Swordsman armor and Dragonslayer from Berserk.
To the editor: I'd recommend Alien. You might've seen it already, but that's such a good movie to re-watch knowing the Chest-Burster scene was completely genuine. (At least the Actor's reactions were, I've heard all they knew was 'The creature emerges' and that was it.)
I think the most impressive part about this is that you were able to find the spiderman spider mod! Whenever I would hunt for it, I couldn't find it which I found very disappointing because THOSE SPIDERS ARE SCARY!!!
This video does a great job capturing what playing Skyrim on PC is really like - it can be whatever you want it to be to fit your playstyle. For my one of my best memories was using a mod that added warmth, thirst, and food to the game. I was freezing on the brink of death in the mountains and was desperately looking for shelter so I could make a fire and warm up. I finally found a cave, warmed up, and inside of it was a hidden side quests for a legendary sword that I ended up using as my main weapon for a big chunk of the game. I wouldn't have found it if it wasn't for that realism mod making me find shelter!
Skyrim, a game so vast in mod options, you'd think you were playing Modded Minecraft. And it also has complete overhauls to be Morrowind (ES3) or Oblivion (ES4) as well.
Dude, I very much played Skyrim the exact same way back then on my 360. I'd go into that world and play while listening to so many different albums I put on my 360. The music of Skyrim is totally fine, but wow does it work well with rocking out to your own music. Kinda like how nowadays, some games are great to chill with and play while listening to podcasts, or YT shows that work great as podcasts.
I've been trying to collect the achievements for Fallout New Vegas lately (with some mods) and I still have to do the same for Skyrim. I'll look through your list of mods for sure when I decide to get back to it!
I was hoping this would come out after the anniversary edition. Oh well, I guess that's what the seldom seen but always fun Completionist DLC episodes are for. EDIT: Also, the game without mods is still pretty fun. Maybe not the best, but an enjoyable experience nonetheless.
Glad Jirard actually seemed to have much more fun this time around especially completing a beast like Skyrim next to the RNG hell he went through with NMH 3.
I've had my Helix plus for about a year now and it has drastically improved my sleep quality, which I need because I'm busier than ever. Visit helixsleep.com/thecompletionist to get up to $200 off your Helix mattress, plus two free pillows
my completionist rating personally is "Mod it!" As you've clearly seen the experience that unlocks. I love how Skyrim becomes something near unrecognizably different based on who's playing with what mods, my own is a much deeper magic focused adventure that bends the main quest into a personal story about a young orphaned argonian mage just trying to balance her own wants and needs with the destiny she's had thrust upon her as Dovahkiin and making a few close friends along the way. A very different experience to your pirate adventure with Zelda and Randy Savage, yet both are only really made possible through the base game of Skyrim.
I always treat Skyrim’s main quest line like a side plot anyway. The actual side plots are usually far more entertaining. But it’s the little stories that aren’t marked as completable quests that really bring it all alive for me.
Anniversary Edition won't mess with that many mods, only some that directly depend on SKSE. You can find a complete list online, and most of them will probably be updated fairly soon after release
Before the video starts. If there is one Mod that Dragonrider here will LOVE. It's the Legacy of the Dragonborn, or the Dovakhin Museum as some call it. Basically, an in-game Completionist's display of Achievements.
Not gonna lie, the instant you announced NG+, my first thought was, "Oh no! SKYRIM!" But I'm really glad that you had a much better experience this time around. Also... *The Completionist is the CREAM of the CROP!*
Absolutely loved this video and all others ^^ can't believe how much of an incredible team you all are and seeing you complete all these games ended up turning me into a completionist :D Skyrim is very dawnting indeed and I still haven't started when you've completed it twice! I was hoping you or anyone on the team could provide the list of mods you ended up using out of that huge list, would that be possible?
Hi chase! a great movie if youve never seen it is The Crow with Brandon Lee (Bruce Lee's son) great for spoopy season but if youd prefer something a little more classic you can never go wrong with a good shark movie and samuel L jackson in Deep Blue Sea :)
Did this on the 360 myself. Did all the main Quest lines, all the daedric stuff, thane of all holds and all the DLC. Never did go back to it with mods but now I just might.
I loved the Kamehameha mod lol. I remember using it when finally confronting Harkon on a 2nd playthrough. And Thor's Hammer and costume mod was fun. The Recorder mod was cool but I admit she did get a little annoying. I remember even trying the live another life mod. That was different and crazy too. I remember waking up in a random place on Solsthiem and having literally nothing no weapons nothing and then getting randomly ambushed by a bunch of random people for no reason and I immediately died. I even discovered an Infinity Gauntlet mod and Marvel and DC universe mods like an X-Men mod. Lol I had some good times with this game and mods made it more fun.
I remember thinking "ok, Skyrim, people want it, Oblivion was cool, I'll check it out one day" when it came out. Played a *ahem* demo, so to speak, of it and hadn't realized I'd been playing for like 5 hours and I've been hooked for the better part of the past decade.
I even turned my Dragonborn into a Fist of the North Star-esque fighter, it makes me feel more badass especially against Vampires, Daedra, Necromancer and especially Dragons.
Now I'm thinking I'm gonna play Skyrim next time on the PC. The idea of being able to check off the seemingly endless side quests sounds worth it alone.
As per the editor's request (2:08 mark on the video) here are my movie recommendations: 1. THE ELDER SCROLLS Full Movie (2021) 4K ULTRA HD Werewolf Vs Monsters All Cinematics Trailers 2. Dragonborn Act I (Skyrim Fan Movie) 3. Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul (2020)
Man... I want to go back to Skyrim so bad now. I use to play the shit out of it up until 2018 and haven't got back since. I've been thinking of going back for a while now (I've seen three or four "newer" mods that would make for an awesome new playthrough) but I have other stuff to play first.

Absolute champions! Such a great mod, you guys killed it.
@@CharlieShipley thanks! It's been a team effort to get it going. Look forward to more work from us!

Your mod is truly something special, man.
Congrats!
Your mod has been a constant companion to my Skyrim experience for years. Thanks for your dedication and work. 10/10 mod.
"Skyrim is best with mods"
This isn't an opinion this is a straight up fact

@@baddragonite You're thinking of Arena, the first game. Daggerfall is just the Illiac bay (parts of High Rock and Hammerfell). Still a huge game tho
"129 mods used"
>Laughs in 500 mod list
but seriously, its great to find another lover of mods! i'm over joyed that you had a great time and have some one else to share that love.
That's impressive. Usually beyond 200 mods for me something will bugger up that LOOT doesn't notice and I'll have to decide between dealing with missing models / textures / etc or starting the mod profile again from scratch. It's been a long time since I've actually played the game; modding it and testing everything is working is all I've done with it in the last few years.
@@DaedalusRaistlin 400 is doable if you are careful about not picking things that overlap, but I agree that anything over 200-250 just isn't worth the loss in stability.
@@zerentheunskilled ive definitely got over 250 mods on my vcr xbone with next to no hit on performance (since porters finally realized bundling mods bypasses the 150 plugin limit). Like you mentioned, only thing you really gotta worry about is sht overlapping
I'm not surprised that you've completed Skyrim, you're just that good and determined.
PS, if you ever want to play again for fun and want to have an amazing follower along for the journey, I can't recommend Inigo enough.
The no spider mods is THE main reason why I prefer Skyrim on PC, laugh if you want but the sheer exxaduration of the frostbite spiders genuinely unnerves me to the point where I don't even like staring at the screen when they're around
Get over your fears 😀👍
I'm definitely with you. They freak me a lot and I too can't look at them or walk around their dead bodies without feeling uncomfortable. I don't want to remove them from the game just because that's a whole enemy type, but something like the spiderman spider mod is great just because they don't have their big STUPID FACES. Buy ayyy, afraid of frostbite spider solidarity cx
"No spiders" mod is HILARIOUS! That's the beauty of the mod community, I've never even thought of that being an issue but someone else with knowledge in programming did that for you.
And yet, even with the mods you have installed on this, there's just so much more you can add to flesh it out further. DLC expansions, Graphic Overhauls (I was kinda disappointed that you didn't make the game look much better - really enhances the experience), difficulty improvements, etc. Lots of good mods in there, and I'm happy you were able to have a fun time!
Just saw The Rescue recently, great documentary about the soccer team of kids that was trapped in the cave in Thailand. Highly recommend it. Also saw The Thing (80s) for the first time last month, on the off chance the editor hasn't seen that yet, give it a viewing!
I love The Thing! John Carpenter is an amazing director and those practical effects have yet to be beaten. Absolutely awesome. I'll have to check out The Rescue, I didnt know they did a documentary about that!
Hey Charlie, I would suggest Hamilton on Disney plus, young Frankenstein if you’re into older comedies, blazing saddles as well, forgetting Sarah Marshall for new age comedy, but I also suggest you see lastnight in soho
I absolutely love the films of Mel Brooks, he's easily one of my favorite directors, and when he and Gene Wilder team up it's amazing. I loved Hamilton as well! I saw it on stage as a graduation present years back, the show on Disney plus is wonderful, but nothing beats the live theatre lol. Also loved Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I haven't seen it in years though. I still need t see Last Night in Soho, I'm a huge Edgar Wright fan so it's been on my list for a while now. Thank's for the rec's!
I'm very happy you went with the pc version, even with mods. I've been thinking about your inevitable skyrim rerun and was afraid you'd burn out of it before recompletion. Super good dedication brother
I started getting into Skyrim again myself. I also went ahead and started playing Enderal. Been enjoying it so far outside of the slow start.
Believe it or not, Bethesda actually gave the SKSE team an early copy of Anniversary Edition so they could update SKSE to work with Anniversary Edition *sooner* instead of later; so *now* we actually have mods that're actually *integrating* the Creation Club content *into* the mods, like a mod that connects the Rielle of The Cause to the Rielle of Beyond Skyrim Bruma to make it into one *gigantic* Rielle.
And since Anniversary Edition's more like a DLC, downloading mods like that *might* make you wanna play the game one more time.
I am so glad you found your way to Skyrim Modding :3
Yeah, the "Replacing Spiders" Mods are absolutely a must for you :3
Conan, what is best in life?
Revenge, served cold, and Skyrim with mods. Especially that one where the dragons are macho man Randy Savage. I'm very fond of that one.
Hell yes
Skyrim is my favorite game. I don't care what anyone else says it's impossible not to get pumped when you hear that dragonborn theme
I remember my first Completionist video was the original Skyrim one. Great stuff!
My New Game + completionist challenge for Skyrim is to actually play the game again. All I've done for the last few years is start my mod list from scratch for any number of reasons, tweak it and keep adding / breaking / reordering / removing stuff and launching the game to check if it's all working nicely. If it isn't, fix it. If it is, add another few mods. If it all breaks, start again. This is the true Elder Scrolls experience for me.
I've been waiting for this.
For Jirard to wake up.
Hey, he's finally awake!
TalonsofWater He was trying to play on PC right? Walked right into that modded ambush same as us and that train over there.
Charlie, the editor, one of my go to comedies is Big Trouble. A cast filled with stars. It's from early 2000s, so it's still got some problematic things here and there, but there's some solid bits in there and the plot revolves around a bunch of personalities, so it's never a 'slow' movie. Thanks for editing stuff, only paused once and lucky I saw the movie recommendation part.
I’ve owned this game since it came out, and I’ve never finished the main story. The fact that you completed this game twice is astounding. Well done sir
You know, I never got to watch your Skyrim episode. By the time I found you, that episode had already been lost to time. When I saw the title to this video, I didn't even think it was a New Game Plus episode, I thought it was just another video of yours. Excited to be able to hear about how mods helped this time because boy oh boy, I woulda dropped Skyrim years ago if it weren't for them.
Just a couple of weeks ago I finished up my own playthrough of Skyrim. This was my very first time playing it, believe it or not and I played it completely vanilla with the Legendary Edition. I did not complete it, mind you, I just did what I consider a full playthrough within reasonable limits and I now get why the game still has so much staying power but is also getting modded to hell and back. It is a game you can build up on like crazy. I ended up liking it slightly less than the Fallout games I played but I still do not regret a single second of it.
I didn't finish it until I'd owned it for some 6 years. Played it a ton in that time, had tons of fun. Eventually figured I should do the main quest. No shame in leaving it for (quite) a while though.
My browser crashed while watching.
How appropriate.
Immersive, even.
I am so happy Jirard used mods for this game, if only so that it didn't crash as often as the first time completing it.
Mr. Editor, I enjoyed the new Dune movie. My son and I have also been binging cheesetastic movies from my childhood: Flash Gordon, Last Starfighter, Monster Squad, Lost Boys, etc.
So many recommendations for Dune! I think I'm gonna have to see it now. I love those cheesetastic movies lol, Lost Boys was one of the first horror movies I ever saw and it made me fall in love with that B-movie feel!
This is going to be one of the greats I can feel it in my bones. The completionist playing modded Skyrim, this meme potential written all over it
When you announced the new game plus series, thinking of you revisiting this game gave me an ulcer. So happy it’s done for you! 😄 also, congrats on 10 years! 😁
Hi Charlie, after this I'd figure watching Fellowship of the Ring would be nice and on point. Perhaps one day a google doc list of mods used would be available for those interested in the list. what I saw was amazing and I'm definitely looking at getting a copy for PC now due to the UI fixes I saw in the mods used.
You're the first person to mention LotR and that is absolutely what I went with. No amount of high fantasy is too much high fantasy.
I've been making video guides for so many things within skyrim for work. Just learning about the Sky Complete Mod alone could make my life SO much simpler.
That and this video is doing a good job of convincing me that I should customize the game I've been using a little more (since they are guides meants for both PC and Console, can't go too deep down the rabbit hole of customization). And then having to go down a rabbit hole to find the SkyComplete Mod for Skyrim Legendary...
I was just thinking about the old Skyrim video and how funny it was. It kind of makes me sad how much this channel has steered away from light hearted jokes to a more dry normal review channel.
Ya I feel like all the old quotes and memes are from that time. Like Bears, Complete the all start pack etc.
I agree its pretty normal now :(
Its really weird how serious he takes himself in these videos now a days
I'm very glad Jirard didn't suffer this time around.
tbh, to me, going from 30fps to 60fps and having hotkeys is an even bigger improvement than mods
Glad to see it was much more fun for you this time!
i personally love playing skyrim even without mods, i grew up on the ps3 version, yeah, not even the legendary version. Skyrim is my favorite game of all time, and i wont apologize for that lol
I beat Skyrim once on 360. Didn't touch the game again until I bought it for XB1. The reason? I heard XB1 had a vast library of mods (not as much as PC, but way more than PS4). With a little modding, my copy of Skyrim has better FPS, combat, role-playing aspects such as reputation and an alternate start and I have access to the Black Swordsman armor and Dragonslayer from Berserk.
Ever since you announced you'd be recompleting all of the original games, I've been waiting for the day you would have to revisit Skyrim again.
man this video just flew by. Always a good time when Jirard uploads
To the editor: I'd recommend Alien. You might've seen it already, but that's such a good movie to re-watch knowing the Chest-Burster scene was completely genuine. (At least the Actor's reactions were, I've heard all they knew was 'The creature emerges' and that was it.)
I think the most impressive part about this is that you were able to find the spiderman spider mod! Whenever I would hunt for it, I couldn't find it which I found very disappointing because THOSE SPIDERS ARE SCARY!!!
I'm glad you went with a modded play through. Legacy of the Dragonborn is one of the best in my opinion.
This was wholesome AF.
Now no one tell him about Lover's Lab
Dragonborn gallery is right up his alley
This video does a great job capturing what playing Skyrim on PC is really like - it can be whatever you want it to be to fit your playstyle.
For my one of my best memories was using a mod that added warmth, thirst, and food to the game. I was freezing on the brink of death in the mountains and was desperately looking for shelter so I could make a fire and warm up. I finally found a cave, warmed up, and inside of it was a hidden side quests for a legendary sword that I ended up using as my main weapon for a big chunk of the game. I wouldn't have found it if it wasn't for that realism mod making me find shelter!
Cmon Skyrim!!
Pick em up witcha WHEELS!
I'm glad I got to watch some of the in-progress on this, pretty damn great experience. Great video like always my dude!
Skyrim, a game so vast in mod options, you'd think you were playing Modded Minecraft. And it also has complete overhauls to be Morrowind (ES3) or Oblivion (ES4) as well.
Dude, I very much played Skyrim the exact same way back then on my 360. I'd go into that world and play while listening to so many different albums I put on my 360. The music of Skyrim is totally fine, but wow does it work well with rocking out to your own music.
Kinda like how nowadays, some games are great to chill with and play while listening to podcasts, or YT shows that work great as podcasts.
Great video, glad you had fun this time :)
I've been trying to collect the achievements for Fallout New Vegas lately (with some mods) and I still have to do the same for Skyrim. I'll look through your list of mods for sure when I decide to get back to it!
I was hoping this would come out after the anniversary edition. Oh well, I guess that's what the seldom seen but always fun Completionist DLC episodes are for.
EDIT: Also, the game without mods is still pretty fun. Maybe not the best, but an enjoyable experience nonetheless.
Glad Jirard actually seemed to have much more fun this time around especially completing a beast like Skyrim next to the RNG hell he went through with NMH 3.
I've had my Helix plus for about a year now and it has drastically improved my sleep quality, which I need because I'm busier than ever. Visit helixsleep.com/thecompletionist to get up to $200 off your Helix mattress, plus two free pillows
"""".... it will ALWAYS be funny, and I will die on that hill!"
Oh my f'ning god you can be so hilarious!!!!
my completionist rating personally is "Mod it!" As you've clearly seen the experience that unlocks.
I love how Skyrim becomes something near unrecognizably different based on who's playing with what mods, my own is a much deeper magic focused adventure that bends the main quest into a personal story about a young orphaned argonian mage just trying to balance her own wants and needs with the destiny she's had thrust upon her as Dovahkiin and making a few close friends along the way. A very different experience to your pirate adventure with Zelda and Randy Savage, yet both are only really made possible through the base game of Skyrim.
I always treat Skyrim’s main quest line like a side plot anyway. The actual side plots are usually far more entertaining. But it’s the little stories that aren’t marked as completable quests that really bring it all alive for me.
Anniversary Edition won't mess with that many mods, only some that directly depend on SKSE. You can find a complete list online, and most of them will probably be updated fairly soon after release
Been looking forward to this for SO LONG. Today is the day!
Before the video starts. If there is one Mod that Dragonrider here will LOVE. It's the Legacy of the Dragonborn, or the Dovakhin Museum as some call it.
Basically, an in-game Completionist's display of Achievements.
Not gonna lie, the instant you announced NG+, my first thought was, "Oh no! SKYRIM!" But I'm really glad that you had a much better experience this time around.
Also... *The Completionist is the CREAM of the CROP!*
Vr Skyrim was my favorite experience by far
Absolutely loved this video and all others ^^ can't believe how much of an incredible team you all are and seeing you complete all these games ended up turning me into a completionist :D
Skyrim is very dawnting indeed and I still haven't started when you've completed it twice!
I was hoping you or anyone on the team could provide the list of mods you ended up using out of that huge list, would that be possible?
YES! Ive been waiting for this time to come!
Hi chase! a great movie if youve never seen it is The Crow with Brandon Lee (Bruce Lee's son) great for spoopy season but if youd prefer something a little more classic you can never go wrong with a good shark movie and samuel L jackson in Deep Blue Sea :)
Did this on the 360 myself. Did all the main Quest lines, all the daedric stuff, thane of all holds and all the DLC.
Never did go back to it with mods but now I just might.
0:50 OHH YEAH! Snap into a Sweetroll!
This sounds like it was legitimately fun rather than a grind. Also, that Spider-Man part had me rolling
“There is nothing on this earth more beautiful than a completed checklist.” 💯
I loved the Kamehameha mod lol. I remember using it when finally confronting Harkon on a 2nd playthrough. And Thor's Hammer and costume mod was fun. The Recorder mod was cool but I admit she did get a little annoying. I remember even trying the live another life mod. That was different and crazy too. I remember waking up in a random place on Solsthiem and having literally nothing no weapons nothing and then getting randomly ambushed by a bunch of random people for no reason and I immediately died. I even discovered an Infinity Gauntlet mod and Marvel and DC universe mods like an X-Men mod. Lol I had some good times with this game and mods made it more fun.
Just found out you can actually ride a dragon in this game thanks to this video, the random things you find out super late is crazy sometimes.
I remember thinking "ok, Skyrim, people want it, Oblivion was cool, I'll check it out one day" when it came out. Played a *ahem* demo, so to speak, of it and hadn't realized I'd been playing for like 5 hours and I've been hooked for the better part of the past decade.
I even turned my Dragonborn into a Fist of the North Star-esque fighter, it makes me feel more badass especially against Vampires, Daedra, Necromancer and especially Dragons.
Now I'm thinking I'm gonna play Skyrim next time on the PC. The idea of being able to check off the seemingly endless side quests sounds worth it alone.
you did it jirard! yo got the last super rediculous one done. well done
"I can't get enough of pirates for some reason."
Yes, we know, Layton BeardThrone. :P
As per the editor's request (2:08 mark on the video) here are my movie recommendations:
1. THE ELDER SCROLLS Full Movie (2021) 4K ULTRA HD Werewolf Vs Monsters All Cinematics Trailers
2. Dragonborn Act I (Skyrim Fan Movie)
3. Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul (2020)
Man... I want to go back to Skyrim so bad now. I use to play the shit out of it up until 2018 and haven't got back since. I've been thinking of going back for a while now (I've seen three or four "newer" mods that would make for an awesome new playthrough) but I have other stuff to play first.
Personally, I love all the adult mods MXR shows off.
