I got a really creepy one. There's this really crazy chick you can meet in the house at Whiterun. She just stands in your way and stares at you. Never let's you move. I think her name is Lydia.. Pretty sure she's stalking the Dragonborn..
Honestly for me the scariest thing is waking a dragon priest. The hissing noise they make and the way they rise out of the coffin always makes me think "wait am I actually ready for this"
All depends on your build...I've found some good luck with dropping a Paralysis Rune followed up with a drawing shot (from bow or spell, depending on how I'm feeling), then I run in and whack on them until they start rising, only to step back and drop another Rune. Effectively stunlocked (if not resisted) and easy to dispatch.
Yeah I always find the 'safest city in the Reach' line pretty amusing for not just that reason, but the fact that Markarth is pretty much the opposite of that claim. Cannibals, Dwemer ruins, Cidna Mine...
I seriously keep thinking about it too. Maybe becoming a Vampire Lord, a vampire of pure blood, isn't a quick process. Maybe you had to recover from some kind of overflow of magic power or something like that. So Harkon simply left you in a safe room while your transformation was in progress then he took you to the cathedral. I don't know, it's just a theory.
I easily liked the worshipping dremora best. I sat expecting you to say that they turn on you to fight for dagon instead of you at the shrine, but instead I got something adorable xD
Soul cairn is, in my opinion, the most depressing place in Skyrim. Thunder and lighting, skeletons, and those magical crystals. I really hate that part of Dawnguard DLC.... And of course... Serana always have something to complain about....
I wanted my character to marry serana but then after the dawnguard story I realized "THANK GOD I cant marry her" she complained about everything and gets downed by everything even Lydia isn't that bad in fact she is actually useful compared to serana serana takes forever to follow you I died 5 times fighting harkon cause she didn't do shit she disappeared in the soul carin multiple times I wanted to kill her she was so annoying
The Ideal Masters aren't 'cunning' or clever, but actually really stupid. The necromancers who work with them are basically business partners, or rather more like suppliers. Well, the dumbest thing to do to a business partner (or supplier), assuming they aren't cheating on you, is to kill them off. It's just straightforward commerce. Think about it - they get necromantic power in Tamriel, while the Masters get a steady influx of souls. What's more, as they get more necromantic power, they'll likely send even more souls the Masters' way. What's even more, keeping them alive boosts the 'networking' ability of the Masters, thereby enabling them to recruit even more necromancers/suppliers to send souls their way. And this applies even if there's no scarcity of eager new necromancers for them to partner with - they'll still benefit more from constantly growing their network rather than simply replenishing it i.e. making up for those they've killed off. Yet those devious beings who've had literally ages to think about their strategy seem singularly incapable of figuring out that when trading, it's better to work with, not against, your partners.
My problem with the Soul Cairn is just how much of a pain it is to navigate and find specific points without using an out of game map. I do like the rewards you get from going there, but the place itself is just annoying. Also, I hold a personal grudge against it because a game breaking bug involving it is what killed my most recent playthrough of Skyrim, and there was nothing that could be done to fix it, (on PS4, so no console commands to work around the fact that Bethesda gave up on fixing known game breaking bugs in their games)......
The third one once happened with Serana when I took her as a companion. My dragonborn was doing his thing, chatting with Dagon and Silus and whatnot, and there Serana was standing and praying to Dagon. It made me LOL'd nervously.
Salty Spaniard lol'd means laughed out loud, which is still incorrect grammar in the context of the rest of their sentence, but it's not laugh out louded.
Here's my theory on the hanging skeleton in the Forgotten Vale. I think it was some kind of adventurer, likely a Nord, who found his way into the Vale but ended up getting chased by Falmer. The nameless adventurer found themself at a dead end on the top of the cliff, with Falmer quickly closing in behind him. Knowing what would happen to his body if the Falmer killed him, he decides to kill himself by tying a noose and hanging himself halfway down the cliff, as if he just jumped off the Falmer would still be able to reach his body. I say he's a Nord because they're big on honoring the dead, and I doubt he'd want his corpse desecrated by the Falmer. It also wouldn't be too farfetched to assume he had rope, as the Vale is entirely surrounded by mountains and I'm sure he didn't go the same route the Dragonborn did.
That Dremora one is actually amazing! I absolutely love tiny details like that. However, I know that there tend to be two Dremora spawned up there. I've never really stealthed up there to see what they're up to, I'm wondering if it's an animation that plays for idle Dremora anyway, thus any summoned Dremora not in combat may do it due to the scripting of Dremora's at the shrine in general?
It would of been so cool if for the civil war quests you could steal the jagged crown and start your own army and betray both sides to become the High king yourself, I know this is random but I thought this would be such a cool feature or would be a awesome dlc they could make
Such_Bs I would have ranged with the forsworn and orcs fortresses, tried to recruit giant, opened a gate to oblivion to summon an group of Daedra and skyrim would have feared for thousand of years the name of my character
Such_Bs To be fair, the Dragonborn has a more valid claim to the throne than anyone else. ... Sorry. Did you think I meant the throne of Skyrim? No no no. I mean the IMPERIAL throne. By all rights, as Ysmir, it should be the player’s right to claim the empire founded by your predecessor, Tiber Septim. I suppose becoming High King/Queen of Skyrim would be a decent start, but it genuinely is your divine right to rule over Tamriel.
Which mannequins are also just npcs that auto equip give gear and aren't allowed to move. Implying the giant crystals are technically armor. Spookiest shit is when script lag lets the mannequins roam for a bit before freezing them
Playing survival mode, going into the forgotten vale "this place is so cool! I'm gonna explore every nook and cranny...5 minutes later.... holy shit it's too damn cold get me out of this frozen hell"
Maybe the final one was before the Falmer became the Falmer if that makes sense as I assume that fungus they were forced to eat didn’t take effect right away. Or perhaps it was a Dwemer or Snow Elf that was pushed off by the to-be Falmer as a warning to others.
I have a theory about the wo/man who was hung on the side of a cliff : The three skeletons were probably adventurers who knew each other , however when they were going to somewhere , they ran into Falmers , two of them ran together and were killed by some Falmer , the Third adventurer ( the one who is hanging on the cliff ) ran in a different direction amidst the chaos , and so they ran to the cliff , not knowing where they would end up , when the Falmer finished off the Third Adventurer's friends , they moved onto s/he but the s/he knew their terrible fate , and so s/he used the piece of rope s/he had and made a noose on which to hang themselves on. Most likely , s/he heard the Falmer and wanted a clean death , so they took their own life. But that's just my theory.
You really ought to just use the singular 'they' instead of the "s/he" nonsense... (And you did use it before in your theory. "... so they ran to the cliff, not knowing where they would end up" Not talking about the falmer or the two adventurers there...) I like your theory, though. Besides the logic of the rope would probably snap with their weight... but then also the body would have fallen in decomposition...
I would guess that the unfortunate hanged skeleton was originally captured by the Falmer, realized the fate that was in store and committed suicide. Afterwards, well, there was just a body swinging in the breeze off the cliff. The Falmer are blind - they had no idea that it was there.
I've never entered Maarkarth through the front door. I always get trashed with Sanguine and wake up in the temple of Debella. Still one of my favorite memories of my 1st playthrough.
Galimeer5 Not necessarily...if you were to point out the location "this is where they hanged him/they were hanged", past tense "he/they were hanged" or future, like sentencing "to be hanged by the neck until dead", then, yeah... BUT, since he was using it in present tense of the corpse as an object, which is currently there in-game for any present to see, "hanging there" is perfectly fine (as the corpse IS, well, HANGING there)...in fact "hanged there" is slightly grammatically awkward in this context, TBH~ (another example of present tense is if an execution were happening presently, as in "They are hanging him/them now", or as an adverb "I'm hanging it up"...just using these as examples can be used for people as well as objects. Both terms are valid, depending on context/circumstances, is all I'm saying)
I need to play through Dawnguard and Dragonborn again, it's been too long. Whenever I try to go back and play Skyrim again I just get bored after 10 or so hours because of how many times I've played through the main game, and never end up getting to the DLC.
For me, even though I've played the main game and DLC multiple times already, I keep the game entertaining by making it stupidly difficult or adding fun little challenges. One playthrough I did required me to never hit an enemy. I had to rely on companions at the beginning, and eventually began relying on using rage spells to turn enemies against one another, or in dwemer ruins, summoned some kind of helper. It's fun doing stuff like that, for me at least
dremora are kinda op they have the best armor and the second best weapons (the best if you don't have dawnguard cause with the dawn guard dlc you can make dragonbone weapons which are 2 points better than daedric
"Some guards might say the following, somewhat reassuring, line of dialogue:" *Boost Mobile Ad perfectly timed* "Dude are you friends with a real robot?" 😂
Has anyone fully explored the Soul Cairn including every and all buildings? If so what was your experience like? Discoveries? I always found it one of the creepiest - if not the creepiest - places in the game and though I did travel about that went beyond the main reason for being there I have to admit I couldn't wait until I left that place once and for all.
You can actually save Margret (the woman that is killed by the forsworn in Markarth) if you attack Weylin , she will start running and guards will attack him , thus saving her. She will also reward you with a silver emerald necklace for saving her as well.
Hey Nate, I noticed something stand out in this video that I wanted to say I caught on to as both a viewer and a creator. In most of your videos you talk things through pretty quickly, which I tend to approve of since it gets the information out to the viewer without wasting time, and is something that I value a lot in my TH-cam intake content. I usually don't click on videos that, for example, are a top ten list that's half an hour long. As a viewer I don't want to waste a half hour of my day getting a list of ten things. I could watch a let's play episode from someone else and probably have time to put on a song or two afterward, and that all leads to a far more entertaining half hour spent otherwise. Your videos are quick and to the point and I like sharing them with other people. And before I get into this next part I should clarify that what I'm about to say is absolutely NOT critical feedback, but I know it's going to look that way at first. Bear with me, I'm not a writer by trade. In this video however you talked things out much slower and went through a lot of details that a year ago I would have thought was unnecessary and drawn out just to make the video longer. However eight minutes in to the video I realized that everything you had to say was not only on point with what you were saying, but there was a lot of information that needed to sink in and be processed without pausing or rewatching parts of the video. All this information needed the viewer to not miss anything you were saying so it was important to have a slower feeling video instead of the quick concise content that I've come to know you for. It also fit the tone of the video, which helped me realize it even more. Things you did this time that I would normally dislike a list video for were what made your video better in this case, which I can guarantee hasn't ever applied to any of the other time wasters I mentioned before. I like the faster videos because it's a quick information snack that I can get in between other stuff I'm doing. I like this slower video because there was a lot of information to process in order to fully understand the point of each... point you were making. You're doing something very right here, so I wanted to say you're doing a good job with your video production output. For what it's worth, I'm super proud of you for what you've got going for you. Hitting that razor's edge between speed and sufficient information is extremely difficult. Kudos, sir~
Actually I take it all back. Alexander's eloquent reply of "shut up" has thoroughly convinced me that everything I said was completely wrong. His expert wordsmithery has not only convinced me that I have made an error, but has also caused me to rethink my life in a spiritual way. This man is truly one of the TH-cam greats and we should all be awed by his opulent charisma wherever he graces us with his presence.
I know this is an older video, but wanted to let you know that I ❤️your Skyrim videos! Everyday I watch them to discover new places and quests in Skyrim!
One thing I found particularly shudder inducing is that if you make your way to the shrine of Boeithia and... well, the first time I made this odd approach, I started picking off people from a distance. I tried to kill everyone there. And I mostly did. Except the two locked in battle with one another. When I came off the high perch I had been sniping from-they kept fighting one another. I looted everything around, they kept fighting. I fired arrows into each of them from right outside their make shift arena. Still they fought. I went into the arena and I was able to collect the seemingly hundreds of arrows I had sent in there both from afar and up close. I would strike at them from melee distance and... nothing. It may have been that I broke the area, but as I could not interact with them and they never went hostile on me, I walked away imagining that those two were for ever more locked in ceaseless battle. Neither to be vanquished nor victorious, for all time.
Under a rock, mostly. I mean, why would I bother looking up these kinds of things, when I can play the game and stumble upon them myself? It's only *because* it's been so long that I'm interested in these videos. I can put on one of Nate's lists, boot up Skyrim, and see what "secrets" were added to the Special Edition so aren't in the original release.
When I was pretty early in the game I did the “night to remember” quest. Well I left the temp to discover where I was at. Well when I came back to do quest at markarth I had no idea what people were talking about someone stabbed in the market.
I have fallen asleep to Nate's videos so often that I'm starting to have a conditioned response. His specific voice and speaking rhythm make me sleepy. Which is great for sleeping! Not so awesome when I'm actually trying to enjoy the content.
Fun Fact that others probably know but still worth sharing in my opinion: You can save Margret (the woman that gets murdered) by killing the Forsworn before he even gets to touch her. This won't break the game as she has dialogue if she isn't killed. She does thank you if you save her and will give you the necklace that was supposed to be a gift to her sister. And you don't need to find her diary in the "Forsworn Conspiracy" mission, you can just interrogate her and tell you she's an Imperial spy like we all know!
I agree...the dremora praying is my favorite too. My Altmer is a conjuration master. When I get to Mehrune's shrine I'm going to try this. Great video!! ❤
For the last situation in the Forgotten Vale, I would guess that it was a Falmer sacrifice. I don’t know enough about them to assume what the purpose of the sacrifice was, but given the items present, that would make the most sense to me. They’re adept with magic, posses relative intelligence, and probably follow a primitive pantheon, so a sacrifice doesn’t seem too unlikely.
No offense Nate, I like your videos, but you, like many many people, use the words "literal" and "literally" too much. Like when you said "literal serial killers", why did you need that word? Are there metaphorical serial killers as well?
I listen to alot of your videos while i drive for work. Of course i cant watch gotta drive responsibly. Skyrim is my favorite game even after almost ten years. I love hearimg about it and you put a great light on all of it. Even in your mod segments. Id love to see a video on some of my favorite mods and base game parts. Such as Growl for werewolves or even that one mod that i cant recall about kyne and being able to chain shouts together and meditation at high hrothgar.
Scariest thing is when you have your volume set really low and you're just walking around Skryim when a bear screams with the force of a thousand Thu'ums and destroys your eardrum
Those Crystals in the Soul Cairn.. they can absorb your health and there is some dialogue from Serana saying something about "Being watched" for someone or something.. maybe it's the ideal masters themselves ! 6:05 a few days ago I made that Quest with the Mitic Down guy.. and while I was standing talking Serana was worshiping the Statue ! well.. I guess she is programed to interact with everything there is to interact in the scenery.
What if they are the gems and these gems we find in game are part of their bodies, so when we soul trap someone, we effectively feed them and the souls in the cairn are their....poop... (I'm a noob in TES lore xD )
The Soul Cairn is not a plane of Oblivion, if it was why would the Daedra need to invade it? The Ideal Masters, I believe, are much older than the Daedra.
I found 2 unmarked locations yesterday, Nate, in case you haven't covered them. One was a Skooma Den in a niche north of Whiterun and left of Dragonsreach. The other was a boat crash with a bunch of mead and jewels in the gorge west of Greenspring Hollow. Hope this helps! Here's to more great videos! ~ TDG
10) Maybe one of the Falmer committed suicide and the stuff there was left as a form of tribute that people normally give to their deceased loved ones.
Hung corpses are rare in themselves, but the Snow Elves were going through a race ending crisis. Could the hanging skeleton be a former Snow Elf that didnt want to go into the dwarven cities and killed themselves in response by hanging?

Maybe the final one was before the Falmer became the Falmer if that makes sense as I assume that fungus they were forced to eat didn’t take effect right away. Or perhaps it was a Dwemer or Snow Elf that was pushed off by the to-be Falmer as a warning to others.
Or perhaps it was an individual who couldn't escape but wished to be in control of their death, and deny the Falmer a meal of their corpse.
Gelebor did say he saw some Falmer showing more intelligence. Maybe this was a form of Falmer execution?

He recently lost his head I think
I can see that now
No wonder he is a blind man. I guess he didn't become a deformed creature like the falmers. Sorry for ruining the joke.
*Tries shooting arrow at the floating Soul Cairn crystal*
*It deflects*
ARROW IN MY KNEE!!
Wow, that Ideal Masters theory/reveal really blew me away. Thanks for another great video Nate!
I've never entered Maarkarth through the front door. I always get trashed with Sanguine and wake up in the temple of Debella. Still one of my favorite memories of my 1st playthrough.
Dremora: **praying to its leader who regularly attempts to violently take over the world**
Nate: Adorable!
It’s great
"You never get to see one of these curious individuals, nor even see one. Or do you?" *VSauce music starts playing*
These videos and Game of Thrones have gotten me super back into Skyrim for which I am thankful for. Keep up the great content Nate👍🏻
Grammatically speaking, the skeleton was _hanged_ 😶
Sorry, I had to say something about it
Galimeer5
Not necessarily...if you were to point out the location "this is where they hanged him/they were hanged", past tense "he/they were hanged" or future, like sentencing "to be hanged by the neck until dead", then, yeah...
BUT, since he was using it in present tense of the corpse as an object, which is currently there in-game for any present to see, "hanging there" is perfectly fine (as the corpse IS, well, HANGING there)...in fact "hanged there" is slightly grammatically awkward in this context, TBH~
(another example of present tense is if an execution were happening presently, as in "They are hanging him/them now", or as an adverb "I'm hanging it up"...just using these as examples can be used for people as well as objects. Both terms are valid, depending on context/circumstances, is all I'm saying)
Galimeer5 You really didn't, and you're only sorry because you don't want people to be annoyed with you.
"They said you was hung!"
"And they was right!" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ok everyone it's "hung"
U had to be that person-
I need to play through Dawnguard and Dragonborn again, it's been too long. Whenever I try to go back and play Skyrim again I just get bored after 10 or so hours because of how many times I've played through the main game, and never end up getting to the DLC.
For me, even though I've played the main game and DLC multiple times already, I keep the game entertaining by making it stupidly difficult or adding fun little challenges. One playthrough I did required me to never hit an enemy. I had to rely on companions at the beginning, and eventually began relying on using rage spells to turn enemies against one another, or in dwemer ruins, summoned some kind of helper. It's fun doing stuff like that, for me at least
Yea. Dremora are frighteningly adorable
Dar Paz They are always my favorite. I wish u could conjure a Dremora Thrall
dremora are kinda op they have the best armor and the second best weapons (the best if you don't have dawnguard cause with the dawn guard dlc you can make dragonbone weapons which are 2 points better than daedric
"in a world of giant bugs"
Yeah you're tellin' me
I've sent millions to the soul cairne, I regret nothing
"Some guards might say the following, somewhat reassuring, line of dialogue:"

"Dude are you friends with a real robot?" 😂
Has anyone fully explored the Soul Cairn including every and all buildings? If so what was your experience like? Discoveries? I always found it one of the creepiest - if not the creepiest - places in the game and though I did travel about that went beyond the main reason for being there I have to admit I couldn't wait until I left that place once and for all.
"Murdered to death" never gets old
Do a list of your mods, Nate.
The Lone Wanderer Yas
The Lone Wanderer
He already did before.
Shadow Sonic he did 5 mods to make it look next gen, but not all his mods.
The Lone Wanderer
Ok.
The scariest scene I came across is when Todd Howard said that Elder Scrolls 6 may still be several years away 😕😔.
7:07 damn, that woman was getting murdered "to death"!
My scariest moment in skyrim is getting attacked by a falmer without even knowing there was one behind you.
6:20
Dont mind me, just sharpening my sword. Nothing weird here.
You can actually save Margret (the woman that is killed by the forsworn in Markarth) if you attack Weylin , she will start running and guards will attack him , thus saving her. She will also reward you with a silver emerald necklace for saving her as well.
6:19 "Don't mind me, just sharpening my sword on this corpse here."
I'm drunk rn, and you release a video I have to pay attention to and I want to watch. You still sound sick, get well soon dude.
wait ... falmer wrote books , in the dawnguard DLC we can find some
No it’s the snow elf language I believe, “ancient falmer” can mean anything from pre-mutation to some granny falmer
The Reach: *exists*
Forsworn: *It's free real estate*
Do you a) pay the court a fine or b) serve your sentence ? ( keep in mind your stolen goods are now forfeit )
C) keep the stolen values and run the fuck away
Another great video Nate!!! I always look forward to your videos!!
Waiting for Nate to title a vid "5... oh you get it. Skyrim stuff" or something 😹😹
Just found your videos recently. Wish I had found them earlier. Great work man
8:20 s a y o r i
No..
No
NOOOOO!
7:02 I can’t imagine that they wrote that line on accident
Hey Nate, I noticed something stand out in this video that I wanted to say I caught on to as both a viewer and a creator. In most of your videos you talk things through pretty quickly, which I tend to approve of since it gets the information out to the viewer without wasting time, and is something that I value a lot in my TH-cam intake content. I usually don't click on videos that, for example, are a top ten list that's half an hour long. As a viewer I don't want to waste a half hour of my day getting a list of ten things. I could watch a let's play episode from someone else and probably have time to put on a song or two afterward, and that all leads to a far more entertaining half hour spent otherwise. Your videos are quick and to the point and I like sharing them with other people.
And before I get into this next part I should clarify that what I'm about to say is absolutely NOT critical feedback, but I know it's going to look that way at first. Bear with me, I'm not a writer by trade.
In this video however you talked things out much slower and went through a lot of details that a year ago I would have thought was unnecessary and drawn out just to make the video longer. However eight minutes in to the video I realized that everything you had to say was not only on point with what you were saying, but there was a lot of information that needed to sink in and be processed without pausing or rewatching parts of the video. All this information needed the viewer to not miss anything you were saying so it was important to have a slower feeling video instead of the quick concise content that I've come to know you for. It also fit the tone of the video, which helped me realize it even more.
Things you did this time that I would normally dislike a list video for were what made your video better in this case, which I can guarantee hasn't ever applied to any of the other time wasters I mentioned before. I like the faster videos because it's a quick information snack that I can get in between other stuff I'm doing. I like this slower video because there was a lot of information to process in order to fully understand the point of each... point you were making. You're doing something very right here, so I wanted to say you're doing a good job with your video production output. For what it's worth, I'm super proud of you for what you've got going for you. Hitting that razor's edge between speed and sufficient information is extremely difficult. Kudos, sir~
Akuma Masurao shut up
Actually I take it all back. Alexander's eloquent reply of "shut up" has thoroughly convinced me that everything I said was completely wrong. His expert wordsmithery has not only convinced me that I have made an error, but has also caused me to rethink my life in a spiritual way. This man is truly one of the TH-cam greats and we should all be awed by his opulent charisma wherever he graces us with his presence.
Akuma Masurao cheers mate
Akuma Masurao oh god :D good statement btw :)
I know this is an older video, but wanted to let you know that I ❤️your Skyrim videos! Everyday I watch them to discover new places and quests in Skyrim!
6:19
He was napping shhh
Your profile picture makes it all the better
You are the only person on TH-cam who can make a 10 minute video without boring me
Nate, I know it wouldn't et many views but I And others would love it; could you and would you make a video on Oblivion or Morrowind? Please?
One thing I found particularly shudder inducing is that if you make your way to the shrine of Boeithia and... well, the first time I made this odd approach, I started picking off people from a distance. I tried to kill everyone there. And I mostly did. Except the two locked in battle with one another. When I came off the high perch I had been sniping from-they kept fighting one another. I looted everything around, they kept fighting. I fired arrows into each of them from right outside their make shift arena. Still they fought. I went into the arena and I was able to collect the seemingly hundreds of arrows I had sent in there both from afar and up close. I would strike at them from melee distance and... nothing. It may have been that I broke the area, but as I could not interact with them and they never went hostile on me, I walked away imagining that those two were for ever more locked in ceaseless battle. Neither to be vanquished nor victorious, for all time.
Okay, I did NOT know that about the Dremora summons!
KorilD
Where have u been for the past 7 years?!?
Under a rock, mostly. I mean, why would I bother looking up these kinds of things, when I can play the game and stumble upon them myself? It's only *because* it's been so long that I'm interested in these videos. I can put on one of Nate's lists, boot up Skyrim, and see what "secrets" were added to the Special Edition so aren't in the original release.
When I was pretty early in the game I did the “night to remember” quest. Well I left the temp to discover where I was at. Well when I came back to do quest at markarth I had no idea what people were talking about someone stabbed in the market.
who here is just scrolling through the comments and listening to nate's voice.
Not playing Skyrim anymore but I really enjoy your vids. Good job Nate!
Gerard unworthy
7:14 it was staged look at that the knife didn't even cut her!!!
I have fallen asleep to Nate's videos so often that I'm starting to have a conditioned response. His specific voice and speaking rhythm make me sleepy.
Which is great for sleeping! Not so awesome when I'm actually trying to enjoy the content.
6:22
Human upgrading the other human's face to legendery
Fun Fact that others probably know but still worth sharing in my opinion: You can save Margret (the woman that gets murdered) by killing the Forsworn before he even gets to touch her. This won't break the game as she has dialogue if she isn't killed. She does thank you if you save her and will give you the necklace that was supposed to be a gift to her sister. And you don't need to find her diary in the "Forsworn Conspiracy" mission, you can just interrogate her and tell you she's an Imperial spy like we all know!
Who's your favourite drinking buddy?
The wind
General Grievous Sanguine, he’s the best among the Daedra
Hello there
Hello there
AnD_ WiL General Maul!!
I agree...the dremora praying is my favorite too. My Altmer is a conjuration master. When I get to Mehrune's shrine I'm going to try this. Great video!! ❤
Number 6:
Nate use to do minecraft videos
For the last situation in the Forgotten Vale, I would guess that it was a Falmer sacrifice. I don’t know enough about them to assume what the purpose of the sacrifice was, but given the items present, that would make the most sense to me. They’re adept with magic, posses relative intelligence, and probably follow a primitive pantheon, so a sacrifice doesn’t seem too unlikely.
Nate did you no that you could save margret in markarth
My theory: Zrib was a dwarf. He resolved a Falmer rebellion by constructing the altar so that they would have somewhere to worship their own gods
Yup, Skyrim's a *V A S T* boi
Scariest thing I've encountered in skyrim?
Probably the creation club prices..
No offense Nate, I like your videos, but you, like many many people, use the words "literal" and "literally" too much. Like when you said "literal serial killers", why did you need that word? Are there metaphorical serial killers as well?
szabok1999 boo hoo. big deal.
wow and what did the police say?
Nate is such a hard working tuber and you deserve all the subs
Notification squad #
5:40 can anyone tell me the name of the mod for that armor?
I think you should stop using the skyrim theme in the backround for every video, atleast use other songs from skyrim.
I listen to alot of your videos while i drive for work. Of course i cant watch gotta drive responsibly. Skyrim is my favorite game even after almost ten years. I love hearimg about it and you put a great light on all of it. Even in your mod segments. Id love to see a video on some of my favorite mods and base game parts. Such as Growl for werewolves or even that one mod that i cant recall about kyne and being able to chain shouts together and meditation at high hrothgar.

That talk about the physical shape of the Ideal Masters put a new point of view on the Unusual Gems quest.
Pin me, daddy
Waffle Bot no you fucking weirdo
sam neale clearly you haven't been on the internet for long.
Scariest thing is when you have your volume set really low and you're just walking around Skryim when a bear screams with the force of a thousand Thu'ums and destroys your eardrum
Great video as always keep it up ☺
Those Crystals in the Soul Cairn.. they can absorb your health and there is some dialogue from Serana saying something about "Being watched" for someone or something.. maybe it's the ideal masters themselves !
6:05 a few days ago I made that Quest with the Mitic Down guy.. and while I was standing talking Serana was worshiping the Statue ! well.. I guess she is programed to interact with everything there is to interact in the scenery.
6:23 That's a interesting sword sharpening technique I should try it myself
Theory: the Ideal Masters created soul gems, hence why they are represented by crystals.
What if they are the gems and these gems we find in game are part of their bodies, so when we soul trap someone, we effectively feed them and the souls in the cairn are their....poop...
(I'm a noob in TES lore xD )
The Soul Cairn is not a plane of Oblivion, if it was why would the Daedra need to invade it? The Ideal Masters, I believe, are much older than the Daedra.
I found 2 unmarked locations yesterday, Nate, in case you haven't covered them.
One was a Skooma Den in a niche north of Whiterun and left of Dragonsreach.
The other was a boat crash with a bunch of mead and jewels in the gorge west of Greenspring Hollow.
Hope this helps! Here's to more great videos!

10) Maybe one of the Falmer committed suicide and the stuff there was left as a form of tribute that people normally give to their deceased loved ones.
I like Valerica's explanation of the crystals being conduits through which the Ideal Masters communicate and devour fresh soul offerings.
Nice video. Where it's the place at minute 4:37?
Hung corpses are rare in themselves, but the Snow Elves were going through a race ending crisis. Could the hanging skeleton be a former Snow Elf that didnt want to go into the dwarven cities and killed themselves in response by hanging?
