1:15:50 So, for anyone wondering, lockpick damage is recorded on a per lockpick basis, not per lock. The lockpick was damaged working on previous locks and had barely any health when this one was started, which is why it broke almost immediately.
You might’ve been right in telling your early followers that they weren’t the main character, but you were wrong in assuming you were. We all just witnessed Joov becoming Erik the Slayer’s sidekick; I can’t wait for the next episode of Erik’s challenge. So cool when big creators like Erik collab with the little guy for a chance.
@@MGSLurmey Oh I didn't hear that he got to play the game! Thank god, I was so worried for a while that he never even got to play the game due to his illness
the optional editing of putting all your followers in sovngarde is probably one of the coolest and most creative things ive ever seen. thank you very much, keep up the great work
I was very confused for a moment and actually had to double check that I was watching Joov when Jabo appeared. The two of them on one screen at the same time short-circuited my brain.
@@mrcopycat2355 Jabo is just British standard English for Joov. Did you know that every American has a British counterpart and vice-versa? It's like two mirrored universes in our own world.
52:50 "Go Meridia!" The idea that this isn't an object she can see, but actually Meridia, who is practically a god, is absolutely hysterical. I like to picture her running inside it like a hamster ball.
Its really awesome seeing Joov improve as a TH-camr as you watch newer videos. I think the most important part he's getting better at is the storytelling aspect, and it really makes these videos stand out from other Skyrim challenge runs.
Completely agree. I watched one of his older videos a couple days ago and it's insane how much he has improved since then. Its something thats really nice and refreshing to see in the modern TH-cam landscape.
Even going back to the first regionlocked challenges, his runs have better storytelling than most and his editing is above what most even try to bother with which makes the improvement even more impressive imo
The story of Out'ta Pawket is a tragic one. Cursed by the gods for her crippling addiction to skooma and stealing shit, she wanders the world with nothing save the undies on her back and one (1) singular item at a time. But she doesn't let this forced vow of poverty get her down as she is a clever kitty and there is always something worth yoinking around the corner, despite her limitations. Godspeed, you majestic meower.
Honestly speaking, in most of my playthroughs of skyrim (with follower mod exceptions ofc) my go to followers were either almost always janessa, or ERIK THE GOAT. From an immersion perspective and a roleplaying one, watching erik go from farmboy in rorikstead to legitimate god slaying demon always felt so wholesome.
I'm inclined to agree. I love the idea of taking a companion who starts off as a inexperienced goober who becomes a scarred veterans of countless battles by the end.
I’m not sure where to share challenge ideas. But one thing I’d like to see is a challenge to play Skyrim without being able to freely explore. How much of Skyrim do the quests lead you through? The rules I’ve thought up are: 1. You may only travel somewhere that you have a quest objective. You need a quest objective to go to towns, or explore dungeons, and the like. 2. You can not buy or craft item, you are limited to quest rewards, required looting like Arvel’s inventory in Bleakfalls and the drauger’s at the end, and similar situations. 3. Miscellaneous quests that serve as introductions to guild or faction quests are disallowed for navigation. As is the main quest beyond slaying the first dragon. 4. When you go somewhere, you must complete at least one quest tied to there. You can’t put off quests you have accepted indefinitely. Your objective under these limitations is to collect all of the stones of barenziah. Using a mod to track the stones would be permitted purely to track them, but not as an excuse to travel. As an example situation, if you wanted to go to Windhelm or Winterhold, you could get there by accepting the court mage’s quest in Riften that directs you there.
This is truly a story about dealing with loss, through the eyes of an immortal being that cannot die yet has to watch as those around perish in combat or accident. Transforming from a meek coward afraid to die themselves, cowering behind a shield, into a bold protector of their compatriots, ready to dive into depths of danger to their rescue. My favourite arc on this channel thus far!
You really outdid yourself with this video's script. I'd say you're my favourite Bethesda challenge youtuber because your content is creative and thoughtful. You explain your thought process in these videos better than a lot of other challenge youtubers, who seem to just recite what happens between the first and last day without much elaboration on what makes the challenge different, how one needs to adapt their gameplay to fit it, and what someone can glean from game design as a result. The beginning explanation about video game inventories telling stories on their own I think is a perfect encapsulation of what I mean when I say all of this.
There are 3 good things that being Volhikar Vampire brings you. 1. You can feed on people to satiate yourself. 2. Vampire Lord form is immune to cold. 3. Vampire Lord form is very good for combat.
Sven's voiced by the great Jason Marsden whos been in a ton of cartoons (and played Boone in FNV) so his voice in that bards college skit was so perfect
@@KevinSeth666 Yep! He also voiced Max in A Goofy Movie and Chester Mcbadbat on Fairly Oddparents. If you grew up in the late 90s to 2010s theres a high likelihood he voiced someone youre familiar with.
Fun fact, Erik the Slayer is based on a real life person, an elder scrolls fan named Erik West who unfortunately passed away before Skyrim released. Seeing you be Erik's sidekick here is really wholesome actually, it's like he actually gets to experience playing the game :)
These videos keep getting better. High brow humor, insightful monologues about inventory telling a story, proper burials for your fallen comrades. You deserve more subscribers than Mr Beast
20:29 Rocky... Rocky's too powerful. Even for his own good. 20:55 Just confirms that Rocky is the best companion. He's an all-around rock-solid dude. Stone cold killer, he is. A bit rough around the edges, we all have our faults, but he's one coal dude. We'll never take him for granite. Schist, I'll stop now.
I think in this challenge, your main flaw was you tried to do too much at once. Using your item slot on a shield is a good idea in theory, but the fact that you lose out on things like the ability to dual cast Healing Hands to keep your follower alive meant there were many situations where your follower took too much DPS at once and died for it. You might have been better suited having the one item in your inventory being the unenchanted Steel Armor the Jarl of Whiterun gives you for going to him the first time after you finish the tutorial-it means you can (if you're concerned about dying early) level Restoration and Heavy Armor by letting Mudcrabs hit you a bunch so that you can get the basic Resto perks (+50% spell effectiveness, half magicka cost for Resto spells, healing spells restore Stamina, etc) while also levelling your Armor stat so you can maybe survive a little better against the physical attacks you kept tanking.
Nah, if you're going for the best way to play this run, then you go stealth and probably wizard. Level sneak at the start of the game (sneak attack hadvar/ralof repeatedly) and then level illusion so you can get the silent spells. Now you have a fancy stealth archer (since an actual stealth archer needs 2 inventory slots minimum) The other option is just get muffle and invis and the 15× sneak attack on daggers and do that.
@@backslash4141 In theory yeah you can do that, but if anything gets through you just die. At least with steel armor you have a chance at living through a stray arrow in combat.
The sheer amount of restoration used reminded me of my own little 'challenge run' I did once: Restoration Only. That Ordinator perk that makes healing damage enemies is just so amusing to me.
My inventory is always "This guy must be a clepto. There's 3 human skulls in here, lots of food, and why troll skulls?!?" Me "I am waiting for the 'wear anything as a hat' update."
If you're looking for a new challenge, try Skyrim as an Honest Laborer. You have to earn all gold through jobs and bounties. You can only clear locations you get through the Missives board or innkeeper bounties.

You cannot pick up enemy-held items, only container loot. An honest laborer doesn't turn in piles of bloody fur armors and secondhand swords after all.
Great redux! Having watched much of these livestreams, I really appreciate how this was structured and story-lined. I definitely feel the live-action involvement in the early part is a solid win going forward. And as always the in-game re-modeling/re-animating or whatever you call it just gets better and better. Really appreciating what you’re building, Joov! You’re fast replacing Warren Buffet as the most important person from Iowa.
Your skill in creating torturous challenges and turning them into cinematic and action packed experiences is amazing! Love the difficulty of this challenge, and the solutions to overcome them
Btw, there is an awesome mod (that I'm not currently using because 2k+ modlist is already tight enough as is) called Nemesis that revamps death for it to be some sort of Shadows of Mordor mechanic, where you respawn in a safe area but you lose some of your stuff and whatever killed you gets a buff and a cool name depending on how did they kill you (say you die to a fire spell from a mage, he would be called "The Burning Sage" and would have some sort of magic/fire damage buff and probably have equiped whatever you lost from your inventory. It can be a bit unfair at times if you have mods with crazy items, but on a light modlist Imo it's amazing; whatever regular travel from point A to B on a fetch quest can end up becoming a full on campaign trying to get revenge (and your stuff back) from "Blood Fang", a Redguard bandit that not only stole your daedric artifact, but also deals bleeding on-hit.
1:22 That's just your average barrelmancer's inventory. It's no different than a rogue's collection of lockpicks. 15:35 This is why we nap at every chance, especially on the hardest difficulties in Bethesda games. Fallout 4 survival mode should have taught you this.
its hilarious watching your character dash through a swinging-axe trap "unscathed", only to immediately Flair-Flop afterward...its like that old samurai showdown trope, where two swordsmen attack each other, but only one Remains standing after they pass...
just discovered joov over the weekend and have been watching all of his videos from years ago. Pleasantly surprised by a recent upload by someone who scratches my skyrim craziness itch !
@@AtlasAttakus Many A True Nerd, if you want to watch someone say "Benor" over and over again with increasing worry and desperation. It's the Skyrim playthrough for you. The rest of his series are also amazing.
Oh i was so happy to see the BG3 inventory after being told by my friends that my Barbarian mule dragging all the oil, water and smokepowder is nuts... love to see people who have similar ideas
I've played hundreds of hours of Skyrim but this is still so entertaining to watch. And I can tell the quality of videos has improved over time: editing, pace, comedic timing. Very good job.
I went to eat at my favorite restaurant the other day. You know what I ordered? I got a mouth watering hamburger. I waited 20 minutes for it to arrive and they gave me only the damn buns. I asked them, "What the hell?!" The waiter responds calmly, "Sir, you must wait the rest of the burger to arrive." I told him in a annoyed tone, "Fine." As the evening progressed, I kept getting bits and pieces of the burger. First the lettuce. Then the cheese. Once the patty finally came, they started taking parts like the cheese and the top bun from me. I ask the waiter in a pissed tone, "What the ♥♥♥♥! Where are my top bun and cheese going?" He told me, "Since your plate lacks sufficient room and you are no longer enjoying them, we are removing them from your plate." Now, I'm stuck here with parts of a burger and throughout my service I get different types of the same toppings. First it was romaine lettuce, then it was iceberg. I get basic white bread buns. Now, I have brioche. I have lost all sense of time and understanding of what my meal should look like. The patty has grown cold, and I swear I heard it mooing from how underdone half this ♥♥♥♥ is coming out. I don't know why I stay here paying an annual subscription for new burger parts I can't even enjoy for more than a passing moment at best. The restaurant laid off 8% of their staff due to missing projections by 45% and management is the only thing on this green Earth straying further from God everyday. I've spent 3.7k hours waiting on this finished product, and the only light at the end of the tunnel is this thing the kitchen is calling, "The Final Patty," whatever the ♥♥♥♥ that means. There is one last hope to bring this meal to a bearable conclusion, and I will jump ship if I lose another ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ piece of cheese for another cheaper kind along the way. My final warning to anyone wanting to visit this place. DON'T!!! Save yourself while you have your autonomy intact. This burger will be the death of me. I can't take it anymore. I feel the walls of establishment shaking from disrepair. This little song and dance with my waiter is driving me insane. My exhaustion in this review of this putrid establishment is audible in writing. This ruse is impossible to maintain so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bye bye. - Destiny Review
Man, I cannot relate to destiny hate like, at all. Never once while playing it for the past few years have I felt disappointed, cheated, or anything. I genuinely do not get any of the hate behind it.
@@626lancerhow much time you spent on it? If you play more you enjoy it less, i spent 8000 hours in d1 and 2 combined and it got boring for sure, after all the stupid.decisions i agree with first comment, if final shape is not amazing i am out, the content vault is the worst thing ever, i still want to play old raids
when. i finished the video i realized i sat here and enjoyed and hour and 15 minutes of content without ever checking how much time i was spending watching. gotta be the most engaging video ive ever seen
I really loved that intro. It's true, your inventory in any game can tell the story of your playthrough and a bit of yourself too. I'm also really fond of inventory management in most games. And that editing was just really cool btw.
Ive watched a couple of your vidoes here and there but the fact that 4 minutes in you used battle music from my favorite game, Outward, Im sold for life.
During a multiplayer run of BG3 my gnome bard had an absurd amount of water in her inventory constantly, so we just had a running joke that she was very concerned about hydration. The actual reason is that its useful for putting out annoying fire patches on the ground, and for dousing Karlach to cool her off for a kiss :3
1:15:50 So, with the way the lockpicking minigame works, it saved the amount of durability you lost on your lockpick from previous locks even if you pick up a new one.
What a phenomenal video Joov! Everything about it was just a blast I don't even have the words right now. Thanks for keeping me glued to the screen with a stupid grin across my face for the last 1hr 17mins. Lots of laughs and just genuinely an awesome experience to watch in its entirety.
I’ve never seen anyone play Skyrim with so many pauses used in combat-it makes it feel much more strategic and almost turn based, at least with how this video is edited. Super interesting look at how mechanics actually work in the game.
The Jabo cameo was awesome. You two are like, absolutely the best Bethesda challenge run youtubers, and I'm glad you get along as well as you do. I hope some day you guys do like... skyrim randomizer bingo or something. That could be really fun.

its hilarious watching your character dash through a swinging-axe trap "unscathed", only to immediately Flair-Flop afterward...its like that old samurai showdown trope, where two swordsmen attack each other, but only one Remains standing after they pass...
No cap, that escape from the castle was an elite gamer moment
just discovered joov over the weekend and have been watching all of his videos from years ago. Pleasantly surprised by a recent upload by someone who scratches my skyrim craziness itch !
This is by far my fav video of yours. Lot of love and care goes into each piece of content you make, and it shows. Thank you!
I clicked faster than the speed of light
I agree
Only for Joov
same haha
I also clicked fast but then spent 20+ minutes thinking of a random comment to leave..
This reply took less them a minute and yes I am a bit slow..😂😂😂
Same
I love Skyrim videos that turn into story telling. I got really invested in your follower’s conga line of death. Benor was my favorite RIP
As someone who watched MATN's Skyrim playthrough, I'm always happy to see Benor getting some love.
Fitting that he died from falling, too.
Whos MATN?
@@AtlasAttakus Many A True Nerd, if you want to watch someone say "Benor" over and over again with increasing worry and desperation. It's the Skyrim playthrough for you. The rest of his series are also amazing.
@@Nicholas86753 thanks! Been looking for another Skyrim playthrough to play in the background :)
Was listening to this in the background. "That's not Lydia. That's a mudcrab!" is hilarious both in and out of context.
The Outward music being added to the mix is very welcomed
Oh i was so happy to see the BG3 inventory after being told by my friends that my Barbarian mule dragging all the oil, water and smokepowder is nuts... love to see people who have similar ideas
The live streams for this challenge were so damn fun! I highly recommend checking out the super cut if released at least.
i genuinely think the benor death bit was the funniest thing in my entire life. i do not know why it was so funny but it killed me
Dude you genuinely make the best videos ever like, how are so perfect with editing, personality and gameplay?
I watched all the VODs but the editing makes the finished videos so good its like a completely different experience.
1:15:53 Lockpick "health" is persistent. Doesn't matter if you pick up new pick or drop all your old ones it will only reset once a pick has broken.
I've played hundreds of hours of Skyrim but this is still so entertaining to watch. And I can tell the quality of videos has improved over time: editing, pace, comedic timing. Very good job.
I went to eat at my favorite restaurant the other day. You know what I ordered? I got a mouth watering hamburger. I waited 20 minutes for it to arrive and they gave me only the damn buns.
I asked them, "What the hell?!"
The waiter responds calmly, "Sir, you must wait the rest of the burger to arrive."
I told him in a annoyed tone, "Fine."
As the evening progressed, I kept getting bits and pieces of the burger. First the lettuce. Then the cheese. Once the patty finally came, they started taking parts like the cheese and the top bun from me.
I ask the waiter in a pissed tone, "What the ♥♥♥♥! Where are my top bun and cheese going?"
He told me, "Since your plate lacks sufficient room and you are no longer enjoying them, we are removing them from your plate."
Now, I'm stuck here with parts of a burger and throughout my service I get different types of the same toppings. First it was romaine lettuce, then it was iceberg. I get basic white bread buns. Now, I have brioche. I have lost all sense of time and understanding of what my meal should look like. The patty has grown cold, and I swear I heard it mooing from how underdone half this ♥♥♥♥ is coming out. I don't know why I stay here paying an annual subscription for new burger parts I can't even enjoy for more than a passing moment at best. The restaurant laid off 8% of their staff due to missing projections by 45% and management is the only thing on this green Earth straying further from God everyday.
I've spent 3.7k hours waiting on this finished product, and the only light at the end of the tunnel is this thing the kitchen is calling, "The Final Patty," whatever the ♥♥♥♥ that means. There is one last hope to bring this meal to a bearable conclusion, and I will jump ship if I lose another ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ piece of cheese for another cheaper kind along the way.
My final warning to anyone wanting to visit this place. DON'T!!! Save yourself while you have your autonomy intact. This burger will be the death of me. I can't take it anymore. I feel the walls of establishment shaking from disrepair. This little song and dance with my waiter is driving me insane. My exhaustion in this review of this putrid establishment is audible in writing. This ruse is impossible to maintain so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bye bye.
- Destiny Review
You're burger experience sounds horrible but this copypasta is _absolutely delicious._
Man, I cannot relate to destiny hate like, at all. Never once while playing it for the past few years have I felt disappointed, cheated, or anything. I genuinely do not get any of the hate behind it.
@@626lancerhow much time you spent on it? If you play more you enjoy it less, i spent 8000 hours in d1 and 2 combined and it got boring for sure, after all the stupid.decisions i agree with first comment, if final shape is not amazing i am out, the content vault is the worst thing ever, i still want to play old raids
"Am I on the vampire's side?"
First rule of being a vampire: other vampires are not friends, they are competition
settled is gonna file a cease and desist xD
31:55 I was wondering what the joke was and then you prayed and it hit me
What started as a fun challenge about inventory management ended up as a nuzlocke of Skyrim.
Unfortunately Joov is not a great nuzlocker
when. i finished the video i realized i sat here and enjoyed and hour and 15 minutes of content without ever checking how much time i was spending watching. gotta be the most engaging video ive ever seen
Was very proud to get my first acting gig in a Joov ad
Smashed it!
Fun fact: Jabo timed his shoulder shrugs perfectly in one take
next collab gotta be with Best Guest
Every time Joov uploads, my day gets just that much better.
I really loved that intro.
It's true, your inventory in any game can tell the story of your playthrough and a bit of yourself too. I'm also really fond of inventory management in most games.
And that editing was just really cool btw.
"I dont wanna marry him. Hes got magic 🙄" says the magician cat lady
😂😂
I watched this live. Let me tell you that Joov not understanding how vamparism works was AGONIZING
31:30 that music brought back so many memories
Is it from something?
@@StarlightEdith Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom if I remember the name right
Ive watched a couple of your vidoes here and there but the fact that 4 minutes in you used battle music from my favorite game, Outward, Im sold for life.
THE AXE TRAP, ROCKY, THE CLIFF THAT DID BENOR IN?! SKYRIM IS THE TOUGHEST ENEMY
Crazy good Joov. Impressive you can create content like this so quickly
Ok actually that intro about inventories is actually pretty cool way to look at that.
Loses 4 followers and cures vampirism twice
Joov: We're not going to let this one die
Hands up VOD channel viewers 🙋♂️
Damn we need more members
Grelod the kind, no Grelod the de-spined
48:36
This has got to be one of the best freeze frames i have seen in all skyrim history
I've replayed it 3 times and died laughing every time
Almost gave me a heart attack with the Destiny part
During a multiplayer run of BG3 my gnome bard had an absurd amount of water in her inventory constantly, so we just had a running joke that she was very concerned about hydration. The actual reason is that its useful for putting out annoying fire patches on the ground, and for dousing Karlach to cool her off for a kiss :3
17:00 song please
I think its called, his world (zebrahead version)

1:15:50 So, with the way the lockpicking minigame works, it saved the amount of durability you lost on your lockpick from previous locks even if you pick up a new one.
Happy Easter everyone ✝️❤️
👎 boo!
30:47 I love how you included that one Whiterun Guard in this shot :)
Edit: ...and all subsequent Sovngarde shots.
Anyone know what game that is at 4:52 ?
What a phenomenal video Joov! Everything about it was just a blast I don't even have the words right now. Thanks for keeping me glued to the screen with a stupid grin across my face for the last 1hr 17mins. Lots of laughs and just genuinely an awesome experience to watch in its entirety.
Hi Joov! Hiii! Hiiii! Hi joov hi!!!
Hi!
I’ve never seen anyone play Skyrim with so many pauses used in combat-it makes it feel much more strategic and almost turn based, at least with how this video is edited. Super interesting look at how mechanics actually work in the game.
I love the Sovngarde sequences with the music, it has something
It's amazing how much better your new videos are. Keep hold of that creativity because you're clearly gifted
The Jabo cameo was awesome. You two are like, absolutely the best Bethesda challenge run youtubers, and I'm glad you get along as well as you do.
I hope some day you guys do like... skyrim randomizer bingo or something. That could be really fun.
