the bee and barb got shortchanged by you not hearing talen-jei out. Genuinely the friendliest, most helpful food worker in skyrim. His fiance is definitely bristly though
"If you're looking to get a drink, Candlehearth Hall's got warm fires and strong ale." I always took this as her passive-aggressively telling me that I shouldn't be there and to go somewhere else
How did you find that mark!.... Ugh, just take it. Look it was one night, she put something in my drink OK? Just... Don't let my wife find out. Now get out of here. >:(
The Bee and Barb is in my opinion the best food establishment in all of Skyrim. It's got such a warm atmosphere, especially if you talk to the actual owner who you hardly talked to, and the fact that they have a selection of unique fancy drinks you can't get anywhere else makes them a cut above the rest. The reason their storage is a bit messy is probably due to being the busiest tavern in all of Skyrim and they don't have time to be meticulously tidy during the rush hour you visited them at.
On top of that, it seems Bee and Barb is also a sort of staging ground for Riften's crime family and thus the tavern's employees may not be as concerned about being orderly or polite when the rift's most dangerous person is just upstairs. It must be stressful, I couldn't do it if i tried.
As a long time fan of the Bee and Barb, I think you did them a disservice not trying one of Talen-Jei's drinks. A couple White-Gold Tower's deep, you'd really see the draw of the place. Keerava isn't usually that messy and curt, she was just getting slammed (everyone wants to eat at the same time, you know how it is). I hope you give them another shot on a less chaotic time of night, buy ya a cliff racer or two
9:07 I'd like to point out that the berry wreith is right above an open flame, and if they don't change out that wreith regularly, its probably as dry as kindling.
There are a couple more restaurants/inss in Skyrim, like my personal favorite, the Old Hroldan Inn. Between that and other tavern and inns in minor settlements (Four shields tavern, Thrysk) there are probably enough to knock out two more episodes of this specific series, this doesn't have to be the last one!
I think basically all the remaining inns are the generic layout. So it's less interesting stuff. So I think it makes sense to move on now. Though there are a few notable ones left. Old Hroldan is supposed to be famous, Nightgate Inn has a pond and a wine cellar which I think is cool. I'm not too upset about ending it now, except that Dawnstar's worthless inn made it into the last episode instead of one of those two better ones. Fuck the Windpeak inn. All my homies go to Nightgate Inn.
The Bee and Barb is probably less about training and more so just complacency about procedure. when you've got a full house every day and basically no complaints then they probably feel like they dont have to try so hard
Can't believe the host degraded an Argonian by calling them a lizard. They need to reflect on the mistakes made in these restaurant reviews and make a public apology video.
The critic is an Argonian. I’d still say it’s unprofessional, but I can’t fully fault the host for slipping into more casual language at the only Argonian run establishment they visited. The staff clearly didn’t appreciate the comment though.
Might be worth noting that storing the same goods in different locations is a primitive method of anti-cross contamination. For example, if one apple catches blight, it will very quickly spread to other apples nearby. So storing some apples on one shelf, and some on another, helps to save on spoiled goods.
Just came here to second the edits comment. Very good videos, but what truly makes them stand out is the love and care put into the subtle touch of the thoughtful edits.
It’s really nice to have some “everyday life thoughts” here and there throughout the restaurant inspection. Seems like the average inn owner in Skyrim can’t help this life anymore. Like most of them have some dream life that couldn’t be pursued and now must serve drunk guests, soulless workers and rarely stump upon some adventurers, living the dream, until they get an arrow in the knee and settle as a guard or something else. Really depressing, even so for a world bursting with magic and breathtaking landscapes.
You should hit up Oblivion's establishments as well! Hell, I'd love to see a full series on every food business throughout the Elder Scrolls franchise, but probably only as far back as Morrowind, as beyond that you get into severe technical limitations that would make most places probably suck.
I was gonna bring up ESO as well but, that probably has hundreds of inns and restaurants and such. Though getting a nice sample size would be pretty fun, especially places that were covered in skyrim like the winking skeever.
Oblivion seems like the obvious continuation for this! Would love to see that. But also Morrowind has many unique and cool corner clubs and restaurants to review
Something I’ll say about your comment on the attitude of the guy running the Windpeak Inn is that’s it’s also a bar in a fairly rural area, having a bit of banter isn’t unusual and is often desired. It would be different if this were some nice restaurant or something, but I think the context here matters, while functioning as an Inn, it’s where fishermen and miner go to unwind at the end of the day
I love these series you do. They're fun and entertaining, but they also get you to appreciate the often overlooked details of what goes into video game environments, and to consider potential thought processes that may have gone into them.
I recommend heading over to the Boston Commonwealth. Even after 200 years of war and horror the great capitalist dream preserves. With fine eating establishments such as Power Noodles, Trudy’s Diner, and of corse The Third Rail you’re sure to find some place to take a load off and find a moment of respite.
I came here to recommend switching the genre to post-apocalypse but keeping the Bethesda train rolling. Personally I'd go for Fallout 3, but Fallout 4 definitely be a solid choice. Honestly probably the better one since its restaurants are better known and it has a larger variety of them.
Having the jumpcut of the audio match the jumpcut of the gameplay, even when nothing onscreen is happening, is such a good touch. Adds the sense of you living in the game. Others would just splice the audio but leave the game running
New Gnisis is a typical example of an immigrant owned business. Building is old, could be cleaner, but functions as a hub for members of said immigrant/refugee population.
can't believe the New Gnisis Corner Club was rated so highly. That floor is covered in wood chips and filth. The guy who was sweeping has been slacking off majorly
Disappointed that my favorite inn never made it into this series, but I do get a lot of the inns can be repetitive. Gotta keep saying how much I love the Nightgate Inn though. It's a cool place.
I lost my animal companion a few nights ago, and have been feeling quite emotionally distraught ever since. I've eagerly been searching for any type of uplifting content that can offer up a momentary reprieve. So when I saw this new Any Austin video had released, I was filled was as much joy as I'm able to experience at this time. I'm going to serve up some food, mix myself an alcoholic beverage, and enjoy some delightfully dry humor. Thank you, Austin, for continuing to produce lighthearted comedic content for your viewers to enjoy. It can leave a much more profound impact than might be expected; for the right people and in the right moments.
regarding the disorganized produce at the storage room of the bee and barb; It's quite possible they were separated due to different ages. Rotating newer/older products on two separate shelves to use the new first.
Witcher 3, Oblivion and BOTW/TOTK all have unique food establishments that could make for some fun future episodes. Really enjoying all your content and edits!
Think of it like discord channels, at the end of the day it doesn't have to be some crazy complicated set of rules for things to work, but there's still rules you either do or do not follow that make the server a fun place to be in
Yeah... I usually find the excellent man pretty insightful but I'm not with him on that one. I get that the USA is a whole different kettle of cabbages when it comes to the way service workers are treated, but I really like a place where people can just Be, everyone's much happier than when they're not having to mask and perform.
Hey Austin! Idea for a video: Rank the inns in BotW in a similar manner you are doing here, but as we have a direct sequel in TotK, you could see how the businesses changed over the years!
Nearly laughed till I cried during all the black and white slow-mo reality tv edits. Keep up the wholly original, meticulous, and hilarious work, my friend. Bethesda is lucky for creators like you who prove there's still ore in them hills. Its honest work.
So glad that my favorite inn became a favorite. The first time I encountered Frostfruit Inn was durin' a rough time as a newbie Dovahkiin and dyin' multiple times or bein' chased by strong enemies. I ran in there and was immediately amazed by the inn. It was much difference than what I've seen in the most popular places. It was such a rewardin' feelin' the moment I entered the place and sad there's not really an ambience video of it. Glad to see it appreciated and acknowledged.
The next series you could do is a Skyrim home renovation video, where you go through the houses and rate them before and after the furniture is in or something like that
🤓achtually, I doubt they are. Would the empire send a dark elf spy to the "we hate dark elves" city? The armor is likely there from past service in the legion. I personally think all the imperial stuff is being displayed as a sign of defiance to the stormcloaks, or intended as another sign that the Windhelm guards don't bother entering the inn/gray quarter.
I gotta say there is definitely potential for another episode, there is plenty of small places you haven’t visited like kynesgrove, old hraldon which has a unique thing to it, even riverwood was missed, almost forgot dragon bridge, you get the idea you could even stop in solstiem for the retching netch, also if you look into it helgas bunkhouse is a sex area go into her room and read the note on the counter
The Hitman trilogy has a lot of different restaurants and bars to visit, and it's always a treat to spend some time absorbing the atmosphere of each of the places. I think it's a great candidate for future restaurant review series.
At the Bee and Barb i wonder if the basement food stores were organized by date instead of food type. Like the 1st shelf has the food for tomorrow, and the second has the food for the day after, could be why the same foods are separated across the shelves
“Most people who work here are quick to tell you that they’re sad or annoyed or that their life sucks” Gee I wonder if there’s some I dunno traumatizing nightmares going around town or something
another excellent Any Austin video. Not sure I know of another good game to do this in but I want this counted as a vote for continuing this series in a different game if a good one can be found
In defense of Thoring’s poor attitude, the people of Dawnstar are having their dreams haunted by an evil daerdric prince. That would put a damper on me too.
Due to an incident involcing a bladed weapon and an axe in a tavern in 1988 in whiterun such weapons were outlawed in skyrim for self defence in inns and stuff, so thats why they all have hammers
Bittersweet to see the end of this series for Skyrim. The first one is what sold me 100% on your channel. I’m up for whatever else you got in mind. More elder scrolls or even Zelda or cyberpunk games
I told my friends about the Episode 1 racer video and they’ve started watching every video too. Truly just wonderful videos, every one feels like a mini love letter
Oh my god the way you did the transitions between locations describing them in a different "narrator voice" like this is a show on cable television is -chefs kiss-
4:35 Man in the base game I really wish Gnisis had a bed to rent, Candlehearth Hall is garbage, you wake up 100% to find like 4 people just hanging out in your room.
Love to see you do a series like this for the Bethesda Fallout games, or maybe even Mass Effect (like the shops on the Citadel). Edit: Just thought of another: the bars in Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines
Would love to see a tour of the bioshock series' various eateries. Might have to focus solely on the atmosphere and ignore the waitstaff criteria unfortunately.
wth the transition from the new gnisisisi corner club to the the thing in dawnstar was so random. You r so calm and explore every detail and then BOOM getting hella drunk blacking out and starting that rage walk completely hung, I thought its funny
Talking let alone the other bethesda works. Gta could bear a good like, 3 episodes or so i think. I think it's actually such a neat and broad topic. The employment videos get a bit droney to me at times where this series i like. Have genuinely itched to watch more of.
The second floor of the first pub is literally just the thickness of one plank of wood. Horrendous safety violation there, no wonder the floor is full of holes but it's astonishing that people aren't falling through it all the time.
Hey I've got a request for you Austin, could you collate your restaurant reviews/employment analysis etc. into single long videos by game/subject and post them all together in like an hour+ video in the same vein as DidYouKnowGaming's long collations of their facts videos on their other channel aimed at listening around bed time? It would be really cool to be able to watch/listen to your employment videos all in one video at night rather than in a playlist that continues to play. Your videos are prime late watching and very relaxing. It could be like one long video for Skyrim employment, another long one for Pokémon etc.
the bee and barb got shortchanged by you not hearing talen-jei out. Genuinely the friendliest, most helpful food worker in skyrim. His fiance is definitely bristly though
Yeah, Talen-Jei deserved better 😢
@@Dimitrishuteralso they have some pretty strong spirits if you ask for the specials
He also forgot to ask about the special drinks!
Talen-Jei keeps telling me that I’m not welcome there anymore because I “extorted” money out of his wife.
Well Bee and barb is definely not an argonian maid cafe, i guess there is a reason for her to be that rude before the TG quest.
"If you're looking to get a drink, Candlehearth Hall's got warm fires and strong ale."
I always took this as her passive-aggressively telling me that I shouldn't be there and to go somewhere else
is the dialogue any different if you're a dark elf?
@@drolememno
Sounds like a polite way of saying "your fancy-pants ass don't belong here. Go scurry off to the wealthier part of town". :P
Also she's a high elf
meanwhile, the server who works at candlehearth hall will tell you that new gnisis cornerclub actually has better drinks
I like how your first thought isn't that the bunkhouse is a bunkhouse but rather that it must secretly be the world's only open plan brothel
i mean, if you know helga, it IS kind of a brothel, but the actual room for THAT is HER room specifically, she serves dibella after all, very devoted.
That’s what I was thinking haha. He’s wrong but also not wrong 😂
I don't think she takes payment for that, though, so not really a brothel, more just the room of a very horny lady.
@ZR0xDEADDEAD Bruh, it is an amulet, not anal beads.
How did you find that mark!.... Ugh, just take it. Look it was one night, she put something in my drink OK? Just... Don't let my wife find out. Now get out of here. >:(

That's a good thing to be for decoration, water means mold
@EmissaryofWind on the other hand its a fire hazard
@@EmissaryofWindI'd rather some mold than the place burn down.

I think basically all the remaining inns are the generic layout. So it's less interesting stuff. So I think it makes sense to move on now. Though there are a few notable ones left. Old Hroldan is supposed to be famous, Nightgate Inn has a pond and a wine cellar which I think is cool.

All my homies go to Nightgate Inn.
Thyrsk mead hall would be a laugh to see dissected.
Though i would want to see both the riekling and the nord versions of it.
he also sadly missed the Wretching Netch if I recall correctly
I wanted to see him doing a straight review of the Stumbling Sabrecat too. Maybe at some point in the future he'll revisit the idea.
This week's episode of Kitchen Nightmares is really strange.
Gordon seems more tame.
The Bee and Barb is probably less about training and more so just complacency about procedure. when you've got a full house every day and basically no complaints then they probably feel like they dont have to try so hard
yeah, not to mention they're taken care of one of the busiest cities in Skyrim
ah yes brothels famously have all their beds in a single room with nothing between them to offer privacy and no sex workers around
Peak brothel experience
Yeah it's a bunkhouse... a place for working people to live/sleep
It's because he was poking around like a fed. He scared the hoes.
I think he meant hostel maybe??
After the second time he said it I was thinking ah yes he definitely isn’t saying what he thinks he’s saying 😅
Can't believe the host degraded an Argonian by calling them a lizard. They need to reflect on the mistakes made in these restaurant reviews and make a public apology video.
The attitudes of the Candlehearth Hall seem to have had a lasting effect on
The critic is an Argonian. I’d still say it’s unprofessional, but I can’t fully fault the host for slipping into more casual language at the only Argonian run establishment they visited. The staff clearly didn’t appreciate the comment though.
This was a veiled prompt to make a Mistakes video lol, i.e. Here's everything I got wrong.
@@PlutopianSociety They do it all thetime. "What's up mah lizard"
I have actually never seen the mug bread glitch. Hilarious.
Windhelm really isn't the best place to get food.
I'm surprised that i keep learning new things about a 10+ yo game

For example, if one apple catches blight, it will very quickly spread to other apples nearby.
So storing some apples on one shelf, and some on another, helps to save on spoiled goods.
Loving the little edits with the sound effects
a cool fun fact is that I played them all live on a Yamaha keyboard that I connected to Final Cut
Very hells kitchen, very good
I just know that for all the rest of this week, every time I see something nice, the little "NICE" tone is gonna play in my head.
Just came here to second the edits comment. Very good videos, but what truly makes them stand out is the love and care put into the subtle touch of the thoughtful edits.
The Dawnstar unemployment rate references 😙👌
It’s really nice to have some “everyday life thoughts” here and there throughout the restaurant inspection. Seems like the average inn owner in Skyrim can’t help this life anymore.

Really depressing, even so for a world bursting with magic and breathtaking landscapes.
The war really took a toll on some of these places, or natural disasters in the case of Winterhold.
@@LifesNeverHumDrumnot just the war but the migration of the dark elves from Morrowind and the first city they come across is hostile to them
@@QuigleTheGnome oh yeah. Just in general, the tumultuous political situation can be seen trickling down to have an effect on everything
Perhaps that's why the inkeeper's wife in Winterhold was so okay with getting turned into a vampire.
You should hit up Oblivion's establishments as well!
Hell, I'd love to see a full series on every food business throughout the Elder Scrolls franchise, but probably only as far back as Morrowind, as beyond that you get into severe technical limitations that would make most places probably suck.
Especially Skingrad and Corral's restaurants. Those ones have so much character
I was gonna bring up ESO as well but, that probably has hundreds of inns and restaurants and such. Though getting a nice sample size would be pretty fun, especially places that were covered in skyrim like the winking skeever.
Salmo The Bakers House is obviously the best, but it would be interesting to see who takes second place
Oblivion seems like the obvious continuation for this! Would love to see that. But also Morrowind has many unique and cool corner clubs and restaurants to review
Oblivion, ESO, and Morrowind would be great continuations!
Something I’ll say about your comment on the attitude of the guy running the Windpeak Inn is that’s it’s also a bar in a fairly rural area, having a bit of banter isn’t unusual and is often desired.

windpeak did have stuffed slaughterfish hanging up behind the counter, leaning into the port-town vibe
Austin... there's debris all over the floor. It is not clean.
Thats intentional ambience though. Like peanut shells at some bbq places.
So are the holes in the floor, naturally@@thealkymyst
@@Verchiel_That's just a free sobriety test.
Clean for Skyrim, that's an important modifier.
I'm amazed that the developers didn't just copy and paste every pub. Thank you, Austin, for your detailed analysis.
I recommend heading over to the Boston Commonwealth. Even after 200 years of war and horror the great capitalist dream preserves. With fine eating establishments such as Power Noodles, Trudy’s Diner, and of corse The Third Rail you’re sure to find some place to take a load off and find a moment of respite.
I came here to recommend switching the genre to post-apocalypse but keeping the Bethesda train rolling. Personally I'd go for Fallout 3, but Fallout 4 definitely be a solid choice. Honestly probably the better one since its restaurants are better known and it has a larger variety of them.
New Vegas still rules.
honestly doing this is new vegas would be fun. the Ultra Luxe would make for a great episode.
New Vegas or 4 are both great options.
I'm glad the census bureau has enough cash for interdimensional travel now
Well, we know they make good sweet rolls atleast, because people KEEP FUCKIGN STEALING THEM
"I set out, hungover and full of rage..."
That actually made me laugh out loud.
Same and reading your comment made me laugh again 😂

Austin did get blackout drunk there which maybe helped skew the review more favorably

These videos scratch a weird itch in my brain nothing else really does, keep it up!
Same.
Disappointed that my favorite inn never made it into this series, but I do get a lot of the inns can be repetitive. Gotta keep saying how much I love the Nightgate Inn though. It's a cool place.
If you play Witcher 3 that might be a good game to review restaurants, there are a lot of them but I think there might be some potential
Good potential for more "accidental" brothel visits as well. (Although I'm pretty sure that bunkhouse wasn't a brothel).
I lost my animal companion a few nights ago, and have been feeling quite emotionally distraught ever since. I've eagerly been searching for any type of uplifting content that can offer up a momentary reprieve.

I think red dead redemption 2 could have some fun bars/restaurants to check out :)
I’m sad that this is over… This series was one of my favorites.
It is a shame that you didn't mention the special drinks on offer in the Bee and Barb. I think that was a positive that was overshadowed.
Witcher 3, Oblivion and BOTW/TOTK all have unique food establishments that could make for some fun future episodes. Really enjoying all your content and edits!
Holy shit
That life is a performance thing really got me down
I’m going to try my best not to live like a mindless robot 😭😭
It's more about doing right thing at a right time and we do this with almost everything to an extent

Drunken Sabercat is fun. its in Fort Dunstad. It has some unique decor
14:44 are they buchering that rabbit on the same table as the cheese and vegetable?!
Just want to say I appreciate the little travel show -esque setups you do for each place, they’re written and edited well
You’re making some of the best TH-cam content. Thank you for entertaining me.
This is THE BEST fckin channel on TH-cam. I'm so glad I found this. It was missing in my life.
The next series you could do is a Skyrim home renovation video, where you go through the houses and rate them before and after the furniture is in or something like that
I like how he skipped over the imperial armor in the gnisis corner club, which kind of substantiates that some of the elves may be spies in windhelm

Oh my god the way you did the transitions between locations describing them in a different "narrator voice" like this is a show on cable television is -chefs kiss-
yakuza restaurant reviews would be sick....
Oh that would be fun
I know you said this was the final review but I think bringing in a professional food review - such as TheReportOfTheWeek would be such a ride
I'm kinda tempted to say Fallout New Vegas because there is one particular place to eat that will be quite... interesting. But that would be too easy.
4:35 Man in the base game I really wish Gnisis had a bed to rent, Candlehearth Hall is garbage, you wake up 100% to find like 4 people just hanging out in your room.
Thank you for doing what you do and how you do it. I really needed this today.
Love to see you do a series like this for the Bethesda Fallout games, or maybe even Mass Effect (like the shops on the Citadel).
Edit: Just thought of another: the bars in Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines
YES YES YES!!! If Austin did a video on VTMB I would dedicate a shrine to him
VTMB would also make for a good odd and unremarkable places episode.
Would love to see a tour of the bioshock series' various eateries. Might have to focus solely on the atmosphere and ignore the waitstaff criteria unfortunately.
Would love to see another episode or 2 of this series just to finish off reveiwing all the food establishments in skyrim
The corner club getting a higher rating than candlehearth hall fills me with dopamine
best channel on youtube, never knew I needed this kind of content, but I am SO glad I found it
wth the transition from the new gnisisisi corner club to the the thing in dawnstar was so random. You r so calm and explore every detail and then BOOM getting hella drunk blacking out and starting that rage walk completely hung, I thought its funny
I love these in game verdicts on restaurants. more of these please 🙂 realy made my day
Love this series. Please review the more obscure eateries in Skyrim
Please please PLEASE keep this series up in other games i find it super compelling compared to your other work which i ALSO love 🙏
Talking let alone the other bethesda works. Gta could bear a good like, 3 episodes or so i think. I think it's actually such a neat and broad topic. The employment videos get a bit droney to me at times where this series i like. Have genuinely itched to watch more of.
My final need before I start my playthrough, where I can safely eat!
The second floor of the first pub is literally just the thickness of one plank of wood. Horrendous safety violation there, no wonder the floor is full of holes but it's astonishing that people aren't falling through it all the time.
Hey I've got a request for you Austin, could you collate your restaurant reviews/employment analysis etc. into single long videos by game/subject and post them all together in like an hour+ video in the same vein as DidYouKnowGaming's long collations of their facts videos on their other channel aimed at listening around bed time? It would be really cool to be able to watch/listen to your employment videos all in one video at night rather than in a playlist that continues to play. Your videos are prime late watching and very relaxing. It could be like one long video for Skyrim employment, another long one for Pokémon etc.
Next, you should review an Olive Garden.
This has been one of my favorite series!! I can't wait to do more.
Video idea: install one of the tavern mods that makes their atmospheres more unique and then revisit them to see how they've changed
I would love to see content like this for Cyberpunk, Dragon Age, or Elden Ring. You've made a special corner here on the internet
You should've spoken with Talen-Jei. He's very friendly as the staff.
The fact that you clearly have worked in the industry must makes this series great to watch.
7:30 oh my god😭 this is one of my favorite austin moments. I literally lol all the time at this channel
