imagine, you're a goon, hearing about this guy going around, beating everyone in his path. he gets to you, and starts beating the hell out of everyone in front of you with a tree branch. he then gets to you, slows time, and just beats the hell out of you until you're bloody and unconscious
I need to stop watching TikTok. I have completely lost the meaning for “goon” to the arbitrary state in which you orgasm to a climax of near incapacitation.
I remember back in high school, my buddies would have actual sword fights with random branches they pulled off the ground. Not quite full contact, but they definitely got dangerously violent to the point that someone could've gotten seriously injured if one of them fucked up.
Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as Revolver Ocelot: - Considering Ocelot's tendency to backstab anyone that isn't Big Boss in order to further his goals, you must go for the Yes Man Route and make it so that by the end of the game you have Wild Child reputation with every listed faction in the game. - use the .357 Revolver (and any of its variants like Lucky) as your main weapon. - Unarmed can be a backup because of the CQC he engaged in with Big Boss and Solid Snake - for Armor, at least a beret of sorts must be equipped (as per MGS3 Ocelot), as for the suit, either go for something akin to a military uniform to represent Young Ocelot or a cowboy esque uniform representing older Ocelot. - have at least Guns and Unarmed as tagged skills. Third tag skill is up to you - Traits are up to you but considering Ocelot's tendency to do draw duels, I recommend getting Fast Shot as a trait. - If getting Wild Child is not possible, get a reputation close to it as possible, as the only way to get Idolized reputation with the Brotherhood of Steel is through the Lonesome Road DLC, and the Powder Gangers offer few opportunities to gain enough rep for Idolized without negatively affecting your rep with other factions (i.e. Goodsprings and the NCR)
For me, challenge runs don't start until you're done being railroaded into tutorials. For the next one, I'd love to see Fable 1 done as Jack of Blades!
I honestly was expecting Orkon's Club to make an appearance, considering its the "legendary" variant of the stick, and the fact that the Kraken can be meleed and Jack can hurt himself? Crazy
the thing i always love about fable 1 is, no matter which route you choose, lore wise you still killed the guildmaster as hinted in one of fable 2's loading screen messages.
Imagine the hero remembering "you don't look like hero material to me", and it echoes in his head before he screams like Homer Simpson, and punches Guildmaster dead
Hey Nerbit, I will ask, as someone who was born with reading difficulty and speech problems, hearing you always keep in your bloopers and typos has always been a treasure to me, and I was hoping one day that you could do a compilation video of them at some point, I suggest the name, "Hte Blurst if Nesbit"
I always really liked the Twinblade fight in Fable 1. Mainly because, as a kid, I found it way too funny that the map for his area looks like a goose wearing a crown.
I have another challenge idea. Can you beat Fable 2 as a pirate? Your weapons are cutlasses, flintlocks, and blunderbusses. You can get a rusty cutlass and flintlock pistol before entering the old tomb in bower lake so the whole game can be played with those weapons. For will, there is an argument to be made for inferno. Blackbeard used simple pyrotechnics in his beard to scare the superstitious seamen he was raiding, making them think he was a devil and not a man. There are obviously other things that must be done such as: -Complete the “Treasure Island of Doom!” quest. -Own every property and business in Bloodstone (make it your own personal Nassau). -Find and keep all the precious gems from quests. I remember three: the diamond from chesty, the ruby from the undead in Bowerstone cemetery, and the Archon’s tear from the archaeologist. Own all the farms in Oakfield (Stede Bonnet owned a plantation before becoming a pirate). -Use only rum and other liquors to heal (maybe apples in place of citrus, but there’s definitely no good replacement for hardtack). -Keep the name “Sparrow,” for Captain Jack Sparrow. There’s probably a lot more that can go into this referencing specific pirates, but I feel this is a good starting point. Cheers, and I love your content so keep it up!
Can you beat fallout 4 as an Irishmen? You must buy and drink every bottle of beer you find and be drunk for the entire run. You also must finish Cait’s companion quest.
I mean if you can beat it without leveling up, you can probably beat the game with a long hard wood. Although I kinda wanna see how masochistic this run is.
Using buff spells in fable, elder scrolls, etc, is like using chems in fallout like psycho or turbo, at least in my opinion Edit: using items or spells that buff your character in a game I think should be allowed in challenges (besides the busted alchemy in the elder scrolls) as it is intended within the game, even if it doesn't make sense like psycho in fallout buffing gun and energy weapon damage, as long as it's intended in the game and does not do damage, it should be viable for weapon restricted runs
i think for most things, sure. multistrike feels like adding magic attacks/damage to the weapon, though. i mean, the heart of 'could you beat skyrim with a fork' is kinda broken, unless you're spiffing, if you just enchant it with like a hundred thousand fire damage.
@@Dovah_Slayer that was... that was why i mentioned him, yes. That EXACT idea, that he breaks stuff, is why it came after 'the heart of the challenge is broken'. Like, it was an example of not being a challenge.
I've played through Fable with the stick as my only melee weapon before; I never knew that you could get Jack to hurt himself with his own AOE though. Yet another certified Nerbit classic right here.
The name druid is very fitting. in DnD 5e there's a cantrip (basically a level 0 spell you can cast as much as you want) called Shillelagh, which makes clubs and quarterstaffs do more damage, along with being considered magical and using your spellcasting modifier (Wisdom since you're a druid) instead of Strength for your hit chance and damage. So basically, stick bonk good.
Nerbit, I dunno if you know this, but I recently did a Fable playthrough and figured out that during the troll fights in the arena, you can back yourself up into the corner in the middle of the arena, and if you can get them to toss their rocks at you at the same time, one swing will knock them both back at the same time. It can be tricky but I thought it was interesting
Suggestion for a character/historical figure run: “Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as general Douglas MacArthur?” A bit of context: MacArthur was a US general who was famously fired during the Korean War after he revealed that his plan to win the war was to launch a massive tactical nuke attack at the border between the Korean Peninsula and China. His idea was to turn the area into a wasteland to prevent troops and aid to make it to the peninsula. This caused a massive drama both in the US and internationally, so to prevent things from getting worst MacArthur was relief (fired) of duty. Basically this would be a Fat Man focus run. That’s why I suggested New Vegas, as the “Gun Runners' Arsenal” DLC let’s you buy different types of mini nukes. Hopefully this helps to make the challenge more than a pacifist run with extra steps, plus the variety of explosions might help to make the experience less repetitive, and maybe even “tactical” as each type of mini nuke have different aspects. And yes, this would be one of those runs that is less about beating the game, but rather the shenanigans that ensure while using such an OP weapon. In a previous comment someone asked me if MacArthur ever used a .45 (aka the famous 1911 pistol), this let me down a rabbit hole regarding the generals career. Basically despite his willingness to use nukes and being in the military, MacArthur was never a “gun guy”, so he only carried a hand gun for self defence, a gun that during the years changed. First it was a .38 revolver, he used it during the US intervention in the Mexican revolution of the early 1910’s; when he was send to France to fight in WW1 he received and used a 1911 pistol (thought there aren’t any photos of him with the gun); finally between the world wars and all the way to when he fas fired, he used a .32 semi automatic pocket pistol. Checking and the Fallout New Vegas wiki, there are several revolvers: “.357 Magnum”, “Lucky”, “Police Pistol” (I accidentally thought this was a .32 in my previous attempts) that should do the trick for the .38. As for the 1911, since the “.45 automatic pistol” and it’s unique variant “A Light Shining in Darkness” from the “Honest Hearts” DLC are 1911s that isn’t a problem. However without mods, there isn’t anything in NV similar to a .32 pistol pocket pistol, though you could use the 9mm or the 5.56mm since as they are the most similar in calibre to a .32 = 8.128mm. Since MacArthur had a .32 when developing his nuclear addiction, I would say the only pistol you should use from the list is the .32 equivalent. That being said, I think switching between pistols would make the challenge more ridiculous than what it is already. If not getting both “Lucky” and “A Light Shining in Darkness” should be extra objectives for the run. As for the look? The best I can think of is to get general Oliver’s uniform (boots and cap included) and complement it with some massive sunglasses and a smoking pipe, though for that last one anything relatively close to it should do the trick. Someone also mentioned that one of the requirements of the run should be to complete the “Lonesome Road” DLC. I would also suggest collecting all 14 of the normal mini nukes that are in the base game, though I feel like that it might be a bit boring compared to everything else on the run. You should also keep in mind that even though MacArthur worked for the government (US army), he was appointed Chief of Staff of the Army by millionaire turn president Herbert Hoover. So you can either work with the NCR or Mr. House.
Fantastic to see more Fable content pop up from you. I look forward to seeing you best this game with your (magically enhanced) stick. 2:20 - I'm assuming that "Can You Beat Fable With The Wooden Manufactured Deathstick?" was too long of a title, as awesome as it sounds. 6:30 - You beat Whisper's longer and carefully carved stick with your stubbier and more natural stick. Your classic weapon triumphs over hers! 8:18 - An so you decide to enjoy a good old spot of cricket with the troll. How quaint. 11:37 - You've cast no time magic yet and still it seems like the Balverine here is stuck in a time loop. Just an endless existence of bonks to the back. 15:24 - Whisper, how dare you get attack by the traps. We need you to get attacked by the trolls instead. 21:20 - She's just made of tougher stuff. Rather hilarious that all the prisoners had huddled together, made it so much easier for the Kraken. 23:33 - Another battle of the sticks but you keep true to the natural form of the almighty stick! 26:11 - Jack's attack hurts himself? Oh my gosh; I never knew that. So Jack is taken down by himself... and very splinter filled foot. 31:34 - Oh the tragic irony; bested by the very same stick he tried to have you throw away.
Probably not as much of a challenge, but it'd be interesting to see a run using only magic people don't normally use. Fireball, Drain Life, andTurncoat are ones I never used and never see anyone else use.
I ran a Drain Life only save a long time ago, and it turns out that Drain Life is an AoE spell (which the game NEVER tells you). Takes a while to kill enemies, but they literally cannot kill you in a group because Drain Life pulls more health than they can beat out of you. I usually trade back Lightning at the start of the game for Fireball because the aim is less finicky and Fireball explodes on contact so a good shot will hit multiple enemies too. Torching a swarm of wasps in one go is fun.
19:42 the undead start coming and they don’t stop coming Grab nostros gear or they hit you from the ground while your running Hey now your a hero get your stick on Go slay
I think as long as it's just buffs, I don't think they break the challenge unless it's something stupid op like invincibility, one hit kills, or an exploit like the Skyrim restoration glitch. It'd be like saying you can't use stealth, crits, or drugs in fallout challenges.
Next up: Can you Beat Skyrim as a Woodsman? Only use the hunting bow, Iron Dagger, and Woodcutter's axe. Only make money via hunting and woodcutting, only wear plain clothes or armor associated with hunters, such as the elven hunter armor from the creation club. The character could be aptly named "The Woodsman".
Either your in my youtube search history some how, or my mind because i was looking for a stick only run on fable. I am curious why you never use healing since it heals you and your escorts. recently saw some fun challenges on this game. You should try "bow only, mercenaries only, summons only" some others exist but thier fun.
BG3 is going to be too big for the quantity of these types of challenges to come out for a long time. But boy oh boy will it also make each one that much crazier when you do one (if youre willing to put the time in eventually to a meme run)
"It's when we get to the docks that things get dire dire." I legit had to back up the video to confirm you had made the joke I thought you had. These things are why I love your stuff, Nerbit. Don't change.
Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as Raiden? >canablism perk allowed, as Raiden does heal by murder >Rex can be recruited as he does have Bladewolf >can only use bladed weapons, unarmed, grenades, or rocket launchers. >side with Yes Man, and defeat House and the NCR, specifically killing the president with a katana >get as many cyborg implants as possible, old world blues included
Just so you know, I watch your challenges because of the production and the unique way a playthrough happens due to rules, please play whatever game you want in the future. 🤙
I honestly did not know that you could deflect the boulders back at the golem and ive goen though lost chapters a number of times. Enjoying your content a lot! Just finished binging all your level one play throughs for fable 1, 2, and 3 and liked them a lot! got the metal gear solid marathon queued next!
rule being 'with the stick' is you can only use the stick to deal damage, you can use spells, so long as no NPC is damaged with something other than the stick. 'spirit of the run' is getting into the 'technically correct' aspect of the thing, but the definiton of 'with the stick is 'no NPC is damaged from any other source except the stick. you can use skills, abilities and items, so long as none of those skills, abilities or items damage the NPC with anything other than the stick.
Hi Nerbit! I wish more people did challenge runs like you do. I love Dark Souls, but all of the challenge runs that people make sound so miserable that they don’t seem interesting to watch. I love how your runs are both not too challenging that they are impossible, but not too easy that they are trivial. It doesn’t seem like your favorite game, but I’d love it you did more Dark Souls content. Maybe something like weapon challenges? Love your vids 😊
Little upset to see my comment was in the intro, but it was still fun to watch. Went about as I expected for as long as I expected. Always funny and entertaining
So just a little fun fact, cause i used to play archer runs and keep only the stick on me, you can get a hilarious cutscene after beating twinblade, where when you raise your weapon up to execute him, it is the stick. I've been doing it for as long as i can remember. My favorite one i have saved on steam is me, naked, only the chicken hat and skinny as hell, holding a tiny stick over the huge hulking beast of a man that is twinblade. Truly the best game
Been watching a few fable videos recently and one thing I keep noticing is that most don't make use of the wait function for the Trader Escort quest. Having the traders wait in the first area you meet them while you go clear the next two areas. Then have them wait at the trader camp, while clearing the last two areas.
I think that a fallout 3 run while doing every good karma action you possibly can would be awesome, informative, binge worthy, and would also cure world hunger
Can you beat Fable/Skyrim drunk? Or a Fallout with a drunk effect modded in? As soon as possible must always have the swimming drunk effect active. I imagine the difficulty will be having enough alcohol on hand to keep the effect going (I'm not sure if it's even possible to keep the effect in any of these games going that long).
as someone currently doing a magic only run good luck getting the starting wasp summon to kill anything to upgrade itself, the bandits at the start of the game 1 shot it and half the time the summon doesn't even acknowledge enemies until you go in for a melee attack

Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as Revolver Ocelot:
- Considering Ocelot's tendency to backstab anyone that isn't Big Boss in order to further his goals, you must go for the Yes Man Route and make it so that by the end of the game you have Wild Child reputation with every listed faction in the game.
- use the .357 Revolver (and any of its variants like Lucky) as your main weapon.
- Unarmed can be a backup because of the CQC he engaged in with Big Boss and Solid Snake
- for Armor, at least a beret of sorts must be equipped (as per MGS3 Ocelot), as for the suit, either go for something akin to a military uniform to represent Young Ocelot or a cowboy esque uniform representing older Ocelot.
- have at least Guns and Unarmed as tagged skills. Third tag skill is up to you
- Traits are up to you but considering Ocelot's tendency to do draw duels, I recommend getting Fast Shot as a trait.
- If getting Wild Child is not possible, get a reputation close to it as possible, as the only way to get Idolized reputation with the Brotherhood of Steel is through the Lonesome Road DLC, and the Powder Gangers offer few opportunities to gain enough rep for Idolized without negatively affecting your rep with other factions (i.e. Goodsprings and the NCR)

11:37 - You've cast no time magic yet and still it seems like the Balverine here is stuck in a time loop. Just an endless existence of bonks to the back.
15:24 - Whisper, how dare you get attack by the traps. We need you to get attacked by the trolls instead.
21:20 - She's just made of tougher stuff. Rather hilarious that all the prisoners had huddled together, made it so much easier for the Kraken.
23:33 - Another battle of the sticks but you keep true to the natural form of the almighty stick!
26:11 - Jack's attack hurts himself? Oh my gosh; I never knew that. So Jack is taken down by himself... and very splinter filled foot.
31:34 - Oh the tragic irony; bested by the very same stick he tried to have you throw away.
Guess you could say Nerbit really knows how to stick it to ‘em
My man really made a dire dire docks joke
Can you beat skyrim as the daedra equivalent of a pokemon trainer? Summons only. The dragon masks act as gym badges.
"You can just pound away until they get on their knees and are ready to blow" -Nerbit, 2023
Probably not as much of a challenge, but it'd be interesting to see a run using only magic people don't normally use. Fireball, Drain Life, andTurncoat are ones I never used and never see anyone else use.
I ran a Drain Life only save a long time ago, and it turns out that Drain Life is an AoE spell (which the game NEVER tells you). Takes a while to kill enemies, but they literally cannot kill you in a group because Drain Life pulls more health than they can beat out of you.
I usually trade back Lightning at the start of the game for Fireball because the aim is less finicky and Fireball explodes on contact so a good shot will hit multiple enemies too. Torching a swarm of wasps in one go is fun.
Fireball fully leveled is a gamebreaker. You can break doors and commit murders with the splash damage and the damage is incredible.
19:42 the undead start coming and they don’t stop coming
Grab nostros gear or they hit you from the ground while your running
Hey now your a hero get your stick on
Go slay
I think as long as it's just buffs, I don't think they break the challenge unless it's something stupid op like invincibility, one hit kills, or an exploit like the Skyrim restoration glitch.
It'd be like saying you can't use stealth, crits, or drugs in fallout challenges.
Next up: Can you Beat Skyrim as a Woodsman? Only use the hunting bow, Iron Dagger, and Woodcutter's axe. Only make money via hunting and woodcutting, only wear plain clothes or armor associated with hunters, such as the elven hunter armor from the creation club. The character could be aptly named "The Woodsman".
Either your in my youtube search history some how, or my mind because i was looking for a stick only run on fable. I am curious why you never use healing since it heals you and your escorts.
recently saw some fun challenges on this game. You should try "bow only, mercenaries only, summons only" some others exist but thier fun.
At the end of the run I actually started pondering a run where I used just summons and mercenaries lol
Fable videos might be my fave (sorry new vegas) but so glad to see it back
They are always some of my favourite to make, hence why they are all around 30 minutes each lol
BG3 is going to be too big for the quantity of these types of challenges to come out for a long time. But boy oh boy will it also make each one that much crazier when you do one (if youre willing to put the time in eventually to a meme run)
Multi strike would have been the first spell I used for a stick only run. Much respect for going that far till you thought of it 👏
Maybe next year we can get a fable anniversary fists only run😂🤷♂️
I'd be down for that lmao
@@Nerbit13098 then it shall (eventually) be done🤣
I get a wee dopamine rush every time I realise that we’re nearing another Friday and we’re gonna get another new Nerbit video!! Such excite!!
Man your videos make my night shift job so much better. But I have to ask:
Can you beat Fable with only demon door items?
Nerbit, that's a stick.
"It's when we get to the docks that things get dire dire."
I legit had to back up the video to confirm you had made the joke I thought you had.
These things are why I love your stuff, Nerbit. Don't change.
I like seeing your videos pop up so I can just disconnect from reality for a bit and watch the NERBIT!
Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as Raiden?
>canablism perk allowed, as Raiden does heal by murder
>Rex can be recruited as he does have Bladewolf
>can only use bladed weapons, unarmed, grenades, or rocket launchers.
>side with Yes Man, and defeat House and the NCR, specifically killing the president with a katana
>get as many cyborg implants as possible, old world blues included
01:13... kick that chicken!!! .... aww :(
Just so you know, I watch your challenges because of the production and the unique way a playthrough happens due to rules, please play whatever game you want in the future. 🤙
Theres a certain happiness I feel watching these videos as another Northern Irishman who also plays Fable at least once a year
Seeing KJFreshly in your video was such a nice throwback, used to love his streams so much!
I need more of the fable content! So glad I found this channel.
I never knew that you could hit the rocks back!
This seems like a great way to develop depression and a hatred for Fable. I'm truly impressed you stuck with it.
I loved fable as a kid, this was super fun to watch. Thanks
Your Fable video made me want to play the game, now I love the series
4:45 i feel like you shouldn't do that because eventually this'll become 'can you beat fable with a toothpick?'
Ive beat it 7 times. The real challenge is beating the game only using will powers. It turns from Zelda to Darksouls real fast.
Anyone else count down the days for a nerbit upload? Absolutely love these videos
Another great video man, im a long time fan, your content recently has been fucking amazing, can't wait for the next one x
I honestly did not know that you could deflect the boulders back at the golem and ive goen though lost chapters a number of times. Enjoying your content a lot! Just finished binging all your level one play throughs for fable 1, 2, and 3 and liked them a lot! got the metal gear solid marathon queued next!
Something I look forward to weekly. Thanks Nerbit, you do the gimmick runs I dream of, but will never do.
Nothing brings me joy like Fable content, thank you
That narrative satisfaction when you did, in fact, put that old stick away.
I hecking love Fable
I’ve played this game so many times and I’ve never seen that animation of the Bargate guard pissing on the player. Crazy.
Oh! You can absolutely do this! Because I DID THIS EXACT CHALLENGE when I was a kid!
And boy was it surprisingly cathartic.
rule being 'with the stick' is you can only use the stick to deal damage, you can use spells, so long as no NPC is damaged with something other than the stick. 'spirit of the run' is getting into the 'technically correct' aspect of the thing, but the definiton of 'with the stick is 'no NPC is damaged from any other source except the stick.
you can use skills, abilities and items, so long as none of those skills, abilities or items damage the NPC with anything other than the stick.
Still waiting on the true neutral Fable 3 playthrough.
I love how every game no matter what without Fail there will always be some sort of Metal Gear mention/reference, you and I would be great friends
Hi Nerbit! I wish more people did challenge runs like you do. I love Dark Souls, but all of the challenge runs that people make sound so miserable that they don’t seem interesting to watch. I love how your runs are both not too challenging that they are impossible, but not too easy that they are trivial. It doesn’t seem like your favorite game, but I’d love it you did more Dark Souls content. Maybe something like weapon challenges? Love your vids 😊
Only have a stick? Beat the final boss by getting him to hit himself in the balls with an explosive wave over and over. Good stuff, Nerbit!
I also tend to play through fable every year so good to see this
Can you beat the fable series as Palpatine? Zappy Zappy!
Watching a wild Nerbit smack criminals across the face with his big fat stick is everything I have ever wanted.
Little upset to see my comment was in the intro, but it was still fun to watch. Went about as I expected for as long as I expected. Always funny and entertaining
So just a little fun fact, cause i used to play archer runs and keep only the stick on me, you can get a hilarious cutscene after beating twinblade, where when you raise your weapon up to execute him, it is the stick. I've been doing it for as long as i can remember. My favorite one i have saved on steam is me, naked, only the chicken hat and skinny as hell, holding a tiny stick over the huge hulking beast of a man that is twinblade. Truly the best game
We need more fable challenge videos. We need to see how you deal with fable 2 and fable 3 in the most bizarre ways possible
"You defeated Jack!"
"Well it was more like um... he did it himself but uh yeah we'll go with that."
Been watching a few fable videos recently and one thing I keep noticing is that most don't make use of the wait function for the Trader Escort quest. Having the traders wait in the first area you meet them while you go clear the next two areas. Then have them wait at the trader camp, while clearing the last two areas.
The undead actually do stop respawning. I usually use the undead for farming exp.
Yeah stick it to the man
Tk Mantis teases making a Fable video and Nerbit beats him to the lunch as usual, classic
I am soo glad you made another Fable video
I think that a fallout 3 run while doing every good karma action you possibly can would be awesome, informative, binge worthy, and would also cure world hunger
Can you beat Fable/Skyrim drunk? Or a Fallout with a drunk effect modded in? As soon as possible must always have the swimming drunk effect active. I imagine the difficulty will be having enough alcohol on hand to keep the effect going (I'm not sure if it's even possible to keep the effect in any of these games going that long).
as someone currently doing a magic only run good luck getting the starting wasp summon to kill anything to upgrade itself, the bandits at the start of the game 1 shot it and half the time the summon doesn't even acknowledge enemies until you go in for a melee attack
Ah yes my favourite type of Nerbit challenge video:
Beating the game using blunt force trauma.
20:50 legit, no idea guards could piss on you
Nerbit buddy, it is a crime against the natural law you don’t have more subs and fame, always happy to watch a new video, keep it up buddy!
I still think its weird that I have over 100k lmao
This is a certified Fable classic
Agreed, everyone has tried to see how far they can go with the stick at least once lol
