I was drinking some iced tea when Inigo commented about the enema for the sense while thinking he looked like a giant penis. I chortled and swallowed wrong and nearly ended up spilling my tea.
@@ecvent0r he has such a slow cadence it lulls me to sleep so I find it really hard to watch unless I'm wide awake. He also has such a slow cadence that speeding up doesn't actually change much tbh. Just makes Leonard sound like he talks as fast as he thinks
@@ross8093 I thought you'd play along to my sarcasm, but oh well. Of course if it suits you then great. I however watched when I had some free time so I didn't put the emphasis on making progress, wasn't even aware on which episode I was most of the time. Also more often than not I didn't finish an episode in one sitting. To each their own I suppose.
Inigo is certainly an impressive mod. I noticed that when you were sat at the table he was actually leaning over and looking at the map! He's also got lots and lots of appropriate lines for your situation!
@ Gopher - With Convenient Horses you can talk to Inigo while the both of you are mounted. Rear the horse (jump while still) and you'll get all interact-able targets in the vicinity of your horse. I always thought speaking down to people would suit Lenny's disposition anyway. Cheers.
Well, i was thinking whether Leonard is a true Dragonborn, and he did pass the pelvic bone opening of a dragon - so, it seems that the rumors are true...
The beginning of this let's play, Gopher's laugh/giggle that just made me laugh so hard i almost fell off of my chair....seeing Inigo put that ridiculous shellbug helmet on.... I just knew Gopher was going to give it to him. Then the dragon skeleton part, "crap him out" there was another laugh XDDD keep making my evening Goph! love you!
I really like how Gopher is showing us a good bit of the battle, but not all of it, since the mods he has makes the fights way too long for a video. I also really liked the Inigo with the shellbug helmet part.
Gophers breaking character and laughing for real always brings tears to my eyes on another note when visiting the cow I sensed a hint of loss for Terrence we need a modder to make a Statue to commemorate his Dragon fight
I have so much catching up to do with this let’s play, but I couldn’t help but watch this after the last episode. I love the dragon skeleton bit. The comedic timing was perfect.
Lolz at him getting upset it is snowing in spring. We get that here every year. It goes winter (w.o snow), spring, summer, winter (w/ snow), summer, winter (w/), summer, winter (w/o), and soon i expect to have to finally give up and put the AC back in the window.
When Leonard was pointing out all the dragons covering the main road, then said he could take the carriage... Does he realize the carriage is going through all those dragons 😂
I think carriages can change direction. I'm not an expert, but I believe the driver can actually choose his route to avoid obstacles. It's basically like your car, but with horses.
We really need some sort of overhaul for stealing, where it keeps track of what's been stolen and makes those things in particular more expensive to buy, since the stock's constantly disappearing. Also, have bounty hunters go after the player for when a certain quantity of each item disappears, and if the player's ever caught by the guards with stolen goods. I'd love to see bounty hunters go after Leonard after somebody recognizes him as the Sweetroll Bandit. By the way, Gopher, I know you've said this will probably be your last Skyrim LP, but would you revisit Leonard if any big quest mods come out? Also, since you'd said before that you'd consider a heavily-modded Fallout 4 LP at some point, do you intend to do a stream or something where people can recommend things for you to try and see if you want to include it? I get that it probably won't be for a while since you did your VR run not too long ago, but it came to mind recently for some reason and I got curious.
very tricky considering what's stolen/what's not is registered by the engine... then considering how chests are based on level lists, items placed on tables ETC are VERY rarely not random. Then you have mods like morrowloot which complicate things even further... really tricky
Im trying to figure out how he has at one point 4 dragons in that small location. Unless ignoring your dragonborn duties or not killing the ones that are resurrected are those?
Since Inigo is a pretty good shot have you considered poisoning his bow before a big battle just to get a little more damage in early? Obviously he won't repoison it when it runs out and I'm not sure if your perks transfer the extra doses. Maybe his sword too for the end of the fight?
What mod does Gopher have that makes the random dragons stick around? Because in 8+ years of playing, I've never seen a non-named dragon (or the one in near the hot springs and the one at the mountaintop northeast of Whiterun) hang around for more than 90 seconds if I don't manage to engage it.
Gopher, not sure if you’re just in character when wondering why the dragon was so strong but because you were freezing to death, your skills were severely handicapped and less effective; the result was less damage.
I am not sure if it affects the damage done by the poisons though. It might actually, but I'm guessing that would be a minor 'bug' or oversight with the Frostfall mod.
I think the would be a nice way to balance the playthough. Have certain dragons that spawn at fixed positions eg word walls be pretty tough but have it so they don't respawn at those locations. No matter what lennard should never be a character that "farms" dragons so the fixed location dragons respawning would only be a hassle. The ability to "clear" certain areas makes for a much better narrative than having to kill the "same dragon" in the same place multiple times. And if lennard needs more dragon materials it feels like an issue something "gopher" can handle by increasing the frequency of random dragon encounters rather than have "lennard" actively seek them out just for their materials. Lennard can probably justify killing dragons to expand the museum but I doubt he'd ever just kill one directly to craft an item
I do not believe the placed dragons ever respawn. I don't remember seeing any of the dragons respawning. All of the ones he has fought so far are scripted to those places once he progresses the main quest enough.
Why would he not avoid them? And what does that have to do with Richard? Not even sure Richard did avoid them to be honest. But I am really curious as to why Leonard would not avoid them. Did they have something he really needed?
Gopher Maybe the scavenger had a nice valuable trinket Leonard might have wanted, or mr skeleton could have had some bone meal for a resist fire potion :)
@@DarkLordDovahkiin He has several thousand gems lying gathering dust in a lockbox at home, and several hundred bone meal. I mean, he'd pick them up if they were right in front of him, but honestly he would be more excited by a sweetroll. But he isn't going to stop and pick a fight with every skeleton he sees just in case it has a snack.
Gopher Let me just mention how honored I am that you’re responding to me ! I mean you are the legendary Gopher, I am taking great pride in this conversation haha. I am unaware Leonard’s stashed away plunder carry on my good sir. P.s. Leonard should retire and open a bakery where he serves the freshest of sweet rolls across the whole of Tamriel.(with inigo as a partner of course)
@@DarkLordDovahkiin Oddly enough the potions Leonard uses to go on his 'sweetrolling' are probably so expensive as to mean he would need to charge a kings ransom for each sweetroll :)
@Gopher - any plans on upgrading to an RTX 3000 series? If so, do check out the news on the 3070 Ti, which will have 16GB memory (confirmed by Lenovo that this will come in their Legion T7 PC)
Vanilla action, it's one of their kill moves like when they bite someone and shake them around in their mouth, the earliest time you can see it is in Helgen before entering the keep, Alduin swoops in and throws a soldier from the walls
2 this morning? Were we nice to you in a dream or something.? Here since it is still in my clipboard: have a Poem: Prime Interlocutor 'Let's see if I can explain all of this to myself.' And then the beginning, and the light- And- And- And the separation. Without pause this magnificence flows So far so frail, a lacing creation In which We can perceive ourselves.

I don't think that will happen until Lenny goes to solsthiem, I don't remember what but a certain early part of that quest line triggers the soul stealing
I like that leonard visits the cow.
That cow is a big damn hero.
@@Keleigh3000 The cow went into battle with him, while lydia slept inside...
The Mighty Milkinator deserves tribute!
Gopher's hysterical laughing and giggling is the stuff of life.
4:21 I have *NEVER* heard him laugh like that. I lost it.
Leonard told his scribe to send this to General Tullius:

How Inigo has the greatest comedic timing is something I truly will never understand.
HeeHee
That shellbug helmet moment... I'm in pieces 🤣

@@nacoran Use the Shellbug Helmet with hardened Falmer armor - instant Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Finally, I caught up on all the episodes. Started in October last year from Chapter 1. What a journey it has been!

That laugh at 4:40 was incredibly wholesome
Of all the things Inigo could say when he had the shellbug helmet on...That I was not expecting. Had to pause the video until the laughter passed.
Just a few minutes in and I'm laughing hysterically. My spouse looks over and asks, "What, you watching Gopher again?" I'm like, of course... LOL

In the train wreck that is 2020, your videos are such a nice change of pace. You never fail to make me laugh, something deeply needed in these times.
15:51 "I can do mushrooms on the way out"
I really like how Gopher is showing us a good bit of the battle, but not all of it, since the mods he has makes the fights way too long for a video. I also really liked the Inigo with the shellbug helmet part.
According to the ancient journal "LEONARD: Thane of everywhere" the term "CANNON fodder" started out as "DRAGON fodder". LOL
04:50 And I've lost the plot completely laughing so hard.
Yeh....What a great laugh before I go to work this morning. Awesome!!
Bwahahahahahahah!
Thank you, Inigo.
Your willingness to put up with Leonard's shenanigans is truly inspiring.
I always sleep better after one of Papa Gopher's bedtime stories. 😌
"That's our Inigo!" 🤣😂🐱👍
That moment when you realize that it has only been 8 months in-game since helgen o_0 feels like several years.

Inigo is truly a godsend to us.
10:43 "Nothing personal kid."
*teleports behind him*
Leonard missed the oppertunity to say he was being dragon born....
My favorite videos are the ones where you genuinely crack up laughing!
Say, what is more scary? A dragon? Or a dragonslaying herd of cows?
Lenny is really putting the work in. So many dragons already killed!
Skyrim still is one of my favorite games
Gopher laughing over the helmet then checking in on the cow was so wholesome, I'm going to bake an apple pie to come down.
If i told Leonard from Chapter 1 that he'd intentionally bait a dragon into a fight, do you think he would believe me? xD
The one he baited to the fort was the named dragon from the dragon burial mound up the hill from Rorikstead.
missed a chest at 20:00 - 20:31. You looked at it as you got the 5th ice shard
Always awesome to see another Gopher's Skyrim video!
Poor Inigo! Getting bullied by Leonard! The big dumb beautiful bastard doesn't know any better!
Yeah, Leonard doesn't know any better, does he?
@@senhowler Touche sir, touche
Had to lure a named dragon just as he buffed dragons

that looked so cool at 44:10
Loved the dragon fight. It took just Leonard, Inigo, and a whole garrison of soldiers to take out xD
- Apocalypso
awesome vid. really enjoyed that good strategic planning taking down that dragon..seeing some legion get yeeted also was very enjoyable
Leonard: complains there's not enough rain in Rain's Hand.
Also Leonard: complains about the rain.
Leonard complained about not enough Rain? That sounds odd. What was the circumstance? Did he need it for cover?
@@GophersVids To be fair, he was complaining that it was snowing instead of raining.
When Leonard puts on the Imperial Commander voice he sounds like someone from Gilbert & Sullivan, LOL.
ngl the bit at 4:50 broke me for a bit lmao 🤣
Ah, the poor Legion!
How convenient. Before sleep - no Gopher Skyrim. After sleep - new episode!
Yes! Don't forget about your cow! Make sure no one treats her wrong! 😤😌
*has clear skies shout proceeds complain about the weather but doesn’t use it*
I love how he just drags the dragon over to where other people are.
Hi Gopher, Thank you for the video, so funny when Inigo tryed on the Shell Bug Helmet, and Leonard is becoming quite the Dragon Slayer for sure 👍😉
Leonard is such a child xD
Cold rainy and getting dark, hey Inigo let’s pick a fight with a dragon.
Windcaller Pass is windy? Whoda thunk it?
i have been waiting. love the content!
Good, Just in time for lunch!
"You've come at a most opportune time. Feeding time!"

I was crying laughing when Inigo had the bug helmet on. His comment was pretty good too. Not quite right but it still made me laugh.
Im trying to figure out how he has at one point 4 dragons in that small location. Unless ignoring your dragonborn duties or not killing the ones that are resurrected are those?
Would be kinda cool to make dragons completely unscaled, but completely insurmountable until you are a super high level
Notification squad! The bell is my guide!
