    I always love the implication that the surveyor character is from our world and doesn't know anything about the game world that they are occupying. Even when walking past a literal skeleton of a dragon or fighting off a poor man clearly charmed with Vampire's Seduction when the basement of Alva's house has a literal coffin in it, barely any acknowledgement of the fantasy-type world that is being lived in. It's great lmao

    • @exantiuse497
      @exantiuse497 ปีที่แล้ว +86

      I disagree with that decision. Hroggir ( henceforth referred to as "the victim") clearly separated his own head in an attempt to evade the Enumerator's (henceforth referred to as "the suspect") axeblade directed at his neck but was unable to reconstitute his neck after the fact leading to his death. The death of the victim was therefore explicitly caused by the violent actions of the suspect.
      I also rebuke the suspect's claim of self-defence; he entered the building the victim was residing in, unannounced and uninvited, breaking the lock instead of acquiring the key. The victim had every reason to believe the suspect was a thief or other intruder with hostile intent, and had the right to defend his residence with violence under the Skyrim Castle Law of 156 4e
      My recommendation to the Morthal Guard investigating the death of the victim is to continue pursuing the murder charge. The work of the officials of the Bureau of Labor is important but their authority is not and cannot be considered unrestrained. Upon entering a private citizen's residence the officials must announce themselves and declare their official business and legal authority to enter in order to prevent future incidents such as this.
      Thank you

    This is by far one of my most favorite series on TH-cam. Never did I think I'd be so enthralled by a census done of Skyrim cities and towns (among other games), but here we are. Keep up the great work, and congrats on not getting that 3rd degree murder charge! What luck that the guy's head divorced itself from the rest of his body spontaneously.

    You missed two people: Jorgen, the steward of Morthal (employed) and Lami, the alchemist (employed). You passed Jorgen on the street without talking to him and Lami was probably at her home across the bridge when you entered her shop.

    Hi austin, discovered your channel not too long ago and have been throughly enjoying your content.
    Already watched this video once today but tonight my girlfriend of 3 years just broke up with me and I've decided to come back and re-binge your vids to help me take my mind off things for a while. Your content is just so uniqely helpful for calming anxiety; these vids are easily some of the the most relaxing videos ive found on this platform, and they have genuinely been helpful to me tonight in particular.
    I just wanted to let you know that what you do is genuinely more than just entertainment at times and wanted to thank you on behalf of anyone that has found comfort in your dumb surveys and over-analysis of random shit in videogames. Thanks man, keep it up 💛

    I always get a giggle when you come on screen to give the press conference, and your hair is held in place with enough clips to bind a book. As someone who has spent a lot of time working for the government or for places that require a conservative appearance, those clips are letter-of-the-law and I love it. I wonder how many of my buddies would have done something like that if it meant keeping their luscious locks? I'm sure at least one.
