Thats why a sneaky archer/assasin is perfect for this roleplay. A simple alchemist isint a big strong warrior. He uses his brains in order to achieve goal.
Seeing as Alchemist is one of the most lucrative skills in the game, it kinda makes sense is a "thief" skill. Also poison brewing makes more sense on a thief stone.
The alchemist shack that you went to is definitely an improvement on the un-modded alchemist shack! What is that big brassy looking thing next to the cooking pot? It's like an old school espresso machine! I also wanted to add that the Stormcloaks probably didn't care to help you because Gaius is an Imperial, and they don't like anyone who isn't a Nord.
I know in vanilla Skyrim when you start as an alchemist you collect blue flowers, monarch butterflies, and wheat like crazy to craft health potions. It's great when mods expand options for crafting (not just alchemic but still applies).
These longer videos are amazing, and this character is one of my favorites of yours. It's such a good balance of chill with the ingredient collecting and exciting with the chaos of the roads. Hope you never stop making videos!
Just have to say, I tripped across episode one a couple of days ago and really enjoyed it. Enough to start another of your series while I waited for the next episode to come. WELL! 15 HOURS of ‘Life as a Miner’ later and I’m like, “NO, no more! I mean it😡” You-Drops episode 2 😱 Seriously, your series are great. I’m having a blast watching
Happens to all of us...find one Life as a .... episode and next thing you know its 3 days later and you have the sudden urge to pick up Skyrim again LOL.
@Jacoby Wakeby The camera glitch can be fixed by activating anything that starts an animation. Like a chair, tanning rack, cooking pot, ect.. You handled it quickly without my fix though 👍
"last time i did this it glitched my camera, so we need to be extra careful!". *continues to not be careful* "I'm not being careful" *triggers glitch* 😅
The spider is another good pet for an alchemist as he produces venom. You'd have to tussel with some vampires though. Btw the pets of skyrim are creation kit
You should level up your sneak to avoid bandits and hunt game. I love that little shack! One of the best ways to learn about ingredients is to start experimenting, mixing random stuff together. With the rarer ingredients you can use the compendium.
Happy new year Jacoby! I’m loving these longer eps Edit: there was a boat at that fishing place near the Guardian stones that you could have taken straight to Ivarstead
Hey man There is a mod that makes all the flowers much more pretty (and easier to spot) Can't remember the name for it, but you should find it in mods Love your vids Cheers from Sweden!
Happy New Year, My Friend. This was a terrific episode! 💜 I love the idea of a sharp shooting Alchemist. Hey bandits taste my poisoned arrows. Excited for the next episode.
For anyone starting this series and is on the episode you are in for a great ride! Thistle is the GOAT thee best!! I love this series and enjoy replaying these videos in the background or actually intently viewing the beauty Mr. Wakeby presents through his characters's experiences.
iequip allows you to throw potions do deal damage or heal and iharvest allows you to use alteration to summon a wisp that harvests nearby alchey ingrediants for you
I would love to see a series of shortish videos of you just listing your top 5 or 10 of each category of mods as of 2023. Would be sooo helpful! It's the least you could do, as every time you start a new story, I start a new mod list lol. This alchemy Overhaul is top tier BTW
loving this character a lot so far. super relaxing and still very entertaining. i think this character would work great using something like conjuration or as you said illusion magic but im just excited to see where it goes. i hope you keep on enjoying this series:)
I can’t recall if you remembered to put on your fortify alchemy gloves before creating your potions; if so you are missing out on the extra experience by creating stronger potions. I hope this helps.😊
Happy New Year. I am thoroughly enjoying this series and this episode was great. I am looking forward to Gaius exploring the lands of the rift. He will need to invest in handy poisons to deal with all those pesky bears and poison resist potions when dealing with the spiders. I completely agree with you when it comes down to avoiding fast traveling. It can be interesting the crazy events that can unfold and helps to immerse the player. I can't wait for the next episode.
I’m enjoying the series so far! Perhaps you could combine this with a market stall or floor store and sell some of your potions in the towns you travel to
Happy New Year! The first episode of this series appeared on my feed so I watched it and I found myself quite enjoying your style. You've inspired me to take a break from my Legacy of the Dragonborn save to start a hunter/alchemist one. I was thinking about character progression and my idea was that since stronger enemies such as vampires and dragons can be looted for specific alchemy ingredients it would present a good motivation for my character to improve her fighting and magic skills in order to be able to harvest those resources. Should be a good time. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take Gaius in this series.
My potion making were creep cluster, mora Tapinella and scaly pholiiota potion sold quite a bit and level alchemy quickly and I used myrwatch to grow some ingredients, or you can use goldenhills plantation for loads of growing ingredients. But that’s what I did I don’t know how it will be with alchemy mods may be still roughly the same. I also used wheat, giant toes and creep cluster as well level it up fast as well.
You probably already know this but if you add fire salts to your food you get hot food which not only stops you getting cold you can also swim around in cold water and not freezing to death.
I'll be honest, I saw episode 1 of Life as an Alchemist on my feed as a recommended video. I laughed it off because I already watch Fudgemuppet's let's plays and didnt think I needed another. At the start, I didnt care for it. You seemed silly, and lighthearted, and noob-ish. So I stopped after a few minutes, and didnt plan on watching any more. Then I started a new playthrough of my own, and remembered you were using a harvest mod for more ingredients per plant. So I came back, rewatched the start of the video and started looking for the mod on Nexus. After a bit, I found myself really being pulled into the story, and the character you've created. I've since watched Life as a Beggar,Farmer, merchant, and this one. I NEED to know what is next for the Rat King and am looking forward to all of the rest of the playlists. Great stuff!
Man I picked the best day to start this series 2 episodes in one day. What do you play on? I have XB1 and unfortunately my game keeps crashing after a while so I need to figure out what on my mod list is causing it cause I love Skyrim.
Know this is a strange suggestion to have but I absolutely loved the vigilant of stendarr series but I feel like some would like to see it the other way and you play as a dedera worshipper or something
i love the video, i love the ideas, i don't love you have to have the mods to play like this! mods make no achievements :(😢 not only that but most of these mods can't be had on xbx1x
I've had to restart because of the camera glitch in the past but one time i clicked on a random item on the ground to lift it up & it reset the camera but that's only worked once for me I don't know if it will work every time I haven't experimented with it lol
Be careful with negatives in the potion, when creating as they can be worse than the benefits & may even lead to death when used! Ingredients can add benefits or result in negatives. My favored potion gave invisibility along with health regeneration & one-handed skill bonus! the right potion can make you invincible & rich.
i noticed the alchemy ingedients have different effects in the first slot that you unlock via eating. is there a mod that changes the effects of ingredients or just swap the positions of its vanilla effects?

As a ps4 player, it sucks to not be able to use all this mods too 😢
@@lucasdoval8106 ps4 can still have a good modded experience :)
@@Alduintheworldeater some of these are specific from the last series, the dunmer speech, the Cider House ..
@@Alduintheworldeater The unfortunate/fortunate? rabbit hole. I'll have to try the alchemy ones with the different ingredient.
I love how the alchemist is turning into a pretty competent warrior by necessity, maybe he can start poisoning his arrows
🔥😎
Imperial Alchemist leaves his campfire burning unattended and Falkreath Hold suffers the worst forest fire in decades.
"She's amazing! She's on fire...literally!"
The thief stone increases alchemy leveling, not the mage stone. Its weird i know
Thats why a sneaky archer/assasin is perfect for this roleplay. A simple alchemist isint a big strong warrior. He uses his brains in order to achieve goal.
Ooooo, thanks for this
Seeing as Alchemist is one of the most lucrative skills in the game, it kinda makes sense is a "thief" skill. Also poison brewing makes more sense on a thief stone.
Don't forget to use those Alchemy gloves you found to make stronger potions.
The alchemist shack that you went to is definitely an improvement on the un-modded alchemist shack! What is that big brassy looking thing next to the cooking pot? It's like an old school espresso machine!
I also wanted to add that the Stormcloaks probably didn't care to help you because Gaius is an Imperial, and they don't like anyone who isn't a Nord.

@@JRodimusMaximus So True
You can't leave the fire. Remember only you can prevent forest fires.
16:05 bro, the tension… This is peak.
Good on ya mate…
I hope he gets a dog friend. Just a wild man and his pup.

Easy travel between Riverwood and Ivarstead!
Thank you! Well... damn
Hey man
There is a mod that makes all the flowers much more pretty (and easier to spot)
Can't remember the name for it, but you should find it in mods
Love your vids
Cheers from Sweden!
Loving this
Howdy my friend, love the ole warrior alchemist build.
Who knew the life of a humble alchemist would be so full of drama!
Happy New Year, My Friend. This was a terrific episode! 💜 I love the idea of a sharp shooting Alchemist. Hey bandits taste my poisoned arrows. Excited for the next episode.

I was waiting for this I’ve been binge watching you for days😮💨
You are playing the game the same way I play Skyrim this is so perfect

I’m so ready for part 3…kinda excited to see what gaius has plans for now since he has the shack
It's over Bone Wolf, I have the high ground.
I got to that part of the vid right as I read this comment
Thief stone is the right one for alchemy I think?❤ lovely vid, saw ur third ep pop up and realized I had missed this one!
I love this new series! Keep em coming!
Absolutely loving this series so far and I’m excited to see where it’s headed
Woohoooooo I love this series!
loving the series!! super chill to watch or listen to keep it up mate
YAY! I am loving this one, and it's the first one I have caught in real time!!!
I'm loving this series! Keep em' coming
Very nice! I am looking forward to seeing more alchemist episodes soon 🙂
This play through is 10/10 definitely subscribed and would love the mod list
The alchemist seems to have gotten drunk off his own concoction. Mead + Schooma.
Happy New Year!

Lot’s of fun looking forward to the next episode
Couldn’t wait any longer
🥳😘💋💋💋❤️🔥👍
Damn Imperial dogs have made Thistle vulnerable to every wolf in the Rift
I enjoy seeing this play through ❤❤ can’t wait for the next episode
Awesome episode thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I loved the last Episode.
Would like to see you play Star-Sector & what decisions you would make in a play through!
My potion making were creep cluster, mora Tapinella and scaly pholiiota potion sold quite a bit and level alchemy quickly and I used myrwatch to grow some ingredients, or you can use goldenhills plantation for loads of growing ingredients. But that’s what I did I don’t know how it will be with alchemy mods may be still roughly the same. I also used wheat, giant toes and creep cluster as well level it up fast as well.
Man, love your videos. You put a lot of thought into these ❤
Oh yeah! Happy new year man.
We need a new episode every day the wait is bad lol
You should talk to the inn keeper in Iverstead.
Nice and interesting, as always. Thank you Mr Jacoby, and Happy New Year to you, and your family 🍷👍
Pile of dead people. "I won't steal the horse".
Sir.....steal the horse!
Happy New Year! May this year bless the Alchemist and all of his future projects.
Love your Skyrim videos bro
This alchemist has gotta learn the recipe for skooma sometime soon
Think he’s already on the skooma the way he runs around gathering stuff.
He's done a skooma dealer playthrough already, it's hilarious watch it!
Skooma is just refined moon sugar
You probably already know this but if you add fire salts to your food you get hot food which not only stops you getting cold you can also swim around in cold water and not freezing to death.
Did not know this :o
@@JacobyWakeby If you ever consider doing a exploit video i have a couple of great tips for you to use.
Haha nice, feel free to throw em down anyway, even if I don't plan on making a vid
@@JacobyWakeby No problem. Would you like me to post here or somewhere else. Also you know how to do the alchemy glitch yeah.
I enjoy how much you are enjoying this series. I'd say the bounty hunter would have made a good body guard. GG
She’s amazing! She’s on fire! Literally! ❤
Skyrim forever my friend
My favorite series next to life as an orc.
I almost hate you for getting me hooked like a kajit on schooma
Jacoby maybe if you are forced into combat you could use all of the poisons and potions that I never use and leave in my inventory 😂
There's a little ol' shack /
Where we can get together /
Mix Shack, baby!
Funnily enough, if that paralysis camera bug happens again, using a chopping block or mining node will fix it.
I'll be honest, I saw episode 1 of Life as an Alchemist on my feed as a recommended video. I laughed it off because I already watch Fudgemuppet's let's plays and didnt think I needed another.

Lovely first day of the new year topped off by episode 2 🙂Agree with the post below --the Alchemist is becoming quite deadly with his bow!
Good Content, a shame I can't afford Skyrim Special Edition for now
Illusion and alteration I feel like you should use in this
Amazing
Man I picked the best day to start this series 2 episodes in one day. What do you play on? I have XB1 and unfortunately my game keeps crashing after a while so I need to figure out what on my mod list is causing it cause I love Skyrim.

I wonder why the Imperials attacked the Riften guards?
tip keep alway 1 example of an ingrediant if you have 3 pices of nightshade use two or eat one ore c ook up two keep always onefo emergencies

Hun u can hit F to deselect stuff without needing to manually remove them ;p also i very much appreciate all of the Dunmeri mods in ur mod list ^w^
there is an alchemist in iverstead by the river
Is life as a werewolf ever gonna come back that one was my favorite i miss it
Nice!
i noticed the alchemy ingedients have different effects in the first slot that you unlock via eating. is there a mod that changes the effects of ingredients or just swap the positions of its vanilla effects?
It’s the thief’s stone not mage stone that increases alchemy for this role playing
What did you do to fix your camera when you got paralyzed?
