- The world hasn't shut up about Skyrim for the past 12 years, so I think it's past time for me to see what all the hype is about.

![Non-Skyrim Fan Gets ADDICTED To SKYRIM For The FIRST TIME! [2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/BQKhpMoj8XQ/mqdefault.jpg)
1. If you go a mage build, you might want to avoid bothering with all basic and some mid-tier frost and lightning spells. Frost slows enemies and reduces their stamina (so they can't melee attack you as much or do power moves) and lightning reduces their magicka (so they cast less spells). But what the game doesn't tell you is that NPCs regenerate both stamina and magicka *extremely* quickly, faster than your spells and any related magic staves can drain them. It's honestly really cheatsy because you expect these things to work as advertised and they just don't... on NPCs. They most definitely still work on you as the player. High tier frost and lightning spells are very good in terms of damage and stuns, however.
2. Highly recommend installing some mods just for QOL, nothing for content or cheats. Mods that make the game look prettier, not just in terms of resolution and dynamic lighting and whatever but things that make the game feel more alive. Since it was made such a long time ago, there isn't actually much in the world. Years ago I installed a mod series that prettifies all the cities, giving them nicer looking buildings and plants and barrels and whatnot, mods like that. Otherwise you might be kinda disappointed by how barren, dull, and flat it looks in comparison to more modern games. Skyrim is known for having color palettes that all kind of blend together (gray city, gray ground, gray walls, etc.) Also some examples of more functional mods: "Immersive Torch" because dungeons are dark af and the vanilla torch is terrible; "Thieves Guild Ladder" because without it, EVERY time you want to get to the thieves guild you are going on the same long boring trip either through a sewer or into the very back of town and then through TWO loading screens; and "Resurrection" because, even if you don't like cheating, sometimes some actual bs happens that kills your follower. The game is still very buggy, it is not all that rare for someone to fall through the floor and die, or get rocketed up into the air and perish on impact, or step on an object and the physics engine throws a fit, deals a million damage to them, and yeets their corpse across the room. I guess that would make for some entertaining roleplay. Oh no, Lydia stubbed her toe on a cooking pot and got sent to the shadow realm!
3. Without mentioning the build name to avoid influencing your decision, there is a specific build that is infamously OP. Many people naturally gravitate towards it due to how the 2 skill trees involved make it so obviously better than all other builds in terms of pure damage. If you want to kill something so hard it goes to double hell, you can google the most OP Skyrim build and try it yourself. Otherwise I would recommend not using this build as it can cheapen many more challenging or lore-involved battles. Skyrim's combat mechanics are not complex in even the loosest definition of the word, just hit the thing faster and more often than it hits you (or hit it before it knows you're there), so once you get used to fighting, using this build might feel less cheap if it gets you through difficult quests faster. In certain quests, it's even the best and arguably intended way to play.
4. Remember to use the favorites menu! It's so helpful!!! You can add stuff in your inventory to favorites (weapons, potions, arrows, food, spells, scrolls, clothes/armor/rings/circlets, etc) and then that functions as a smaller inventory list so you don't have to go searching for the one thing you use all the time. Plus when you open the favorites menu (Q button) and have whatever item highlighted, pressing a number key assigns that item to the number so you can quick swap. Pausing in the midst of battle to spend 2 minutes looking for your cheese wheels in between all the random food bits you've picked up because you're low on health and need the power of lactose is rather disruptive to the vibe.
5. If you side with the Thalmor, you are dead to me. Kidding.... maybe.
All hail the empire 🇬🇷 (closest country to rome)
@@aircdutchef lol
“Usually in fantasy games they try to work in racism”
Oh just wait until you meet the Thalmor.
And the Stormcloaks😅
N'wah moment
imagine he plays morrowind where every damn vvardenfell resident will call you an N'wah
Man the thalmor are basically the confederacy but all high-elves. It makes me wish I could've pulled a Sherman on the Aldmeri Dominion.
The Empire too tbh
Despite being an April Fools joke, Skyrim Very Special Edition actually exists on Alexa devices.
Hoooly Shit, I didn‘t even know that! xD Almost makes me want to get one just for that.
@@JamCie if you have a phone that will run any ai Cortana Siri or Alexa , the can play it on your phone.
No… it cannot be. 😖
"yelling at dragons" is a good description of the game, but it's funner than it sounds lol.
The Skyrim soundtrack is pure bliss for me. I still listen to it all the time
likewise! \o/
"What character I want to be"
All will fall to the sneak archer
I've played since 2011 and never played a sneak archer.
My first Legendary playthrough I was sword and board. I ain't no bitch.
@@danajessop2835 ive always went heavy armor/single hand builds
@@shylocollins6562 Light armor, dual wield axes.
Finish Skyrim? You don't finish Skyrim. You play it for 12 years until The Elder Scrolls VI comes out. Lol. I'm on the Anniversary Edition now, and upgraded to the Xbox Series X a few months back. It's wild seeing these trailers again. It's been so long, I had forgotten about some of them.
All the Elder Scrolls games are at diferent places and time, only played skyrim and is still one of the best games out there
I grew up on Oblivion and Skyrim and they feel like very different games. Oblivion is an amazing game with an amazing cast.
@@hexoslaya3696 Oblivion is one of if not my favorite game. Nothing comes close to Oblivion. The story, the DLC, the guilds...... I sunk years into that game.....
Absolutely my favorite game and it's quickly becoming one of my most played ever.
im one of those mad fellas that played all the games and know more about the lore than actual history, but i have to agree with you, Skyrim is MAGICAL!!!! i remebember the exact day in that pink wallpapper room when i watched this for the first time, i was SO FUCKING HYPED and i think i'll never fell like that again!
Sky rim is a little better just play the dragon born dlc you get the black books and meet another dragon born and meet some unique people and will be able to use the atheriem forge
You don't beat Skyrim... You enjoy it!!!
It’s easily my most played game ever I fall so deep into that game every time. Honestly it’s in my Top 3 games. I fall asleep to the soundtrack every night. Jeremy Soul knows how to write some beautiful music
I have it for like 6 years now xd
Btw i was an adventurer like u then i took an arrow in the knee
It all goes down when you take an arrow to the knee. The way it started for me is the imperial guy you can go with I sniped a bear with 2 shots 2 woke him up and 1 oofed him so R.I.P bear so yes I'm also a bad ass(UA-cam don't demonitize
I literally bought the PSVR for Skyrim, and it's the most immersive video game experience I've ever had. Once I tried VR it was hard to even go back to the regular version. Looking up towards the sky and seeing a huge dragon above you, or looking towards a giant mountain and being able to feel the scale and distance, or being in a dungeon and feeling the panic as an enemy runs towards you, heck, even just being able to physically lower your head to take a closer look at something on the ground, it's just a next level experience in an already amazing game. You feel like you're IN the game experiencing the adventure for yourself, instead of watching a character on a screen. Skyrim in VR is simply amazing!
Agreed now I need a better pc so I can play it on full. He made me go play again and man I got sick. I think my camera was off to the side too much.
I got the quest 3 now.
Minus the times when your just looking around and all of a sudden an enemy just comes at you scaring the shit out of you or when your in dark caves with shitty lighting and everything scares you
I'm a huge Elder Scrolls Fan and have played all the main games beside Arena for at least a few hours. Over the years I have also bought all of Skyrims releases, but actually refunded Skyrim VR. I was really excited for it, but it just didn't work for me. I tried fixing my problems with mods and they did exactly what I wanted them to do, but Skyrims VR port, at least for me, is beyond repair. Bethesda put in less than minimal effort. I'm not trying to invalidate your feelings for it btw. I'm just jealous I can't feel the same about it.
@@leonm.8865 What kind of problems did you encounter with the VR port? I didn't encounter anything out of the ordinary, aside from the regular glitches that have always been in regular Skyrim, but I was used to them by now.

Dude, i used to get my grandson to sleep with the skyrim music and scenery. Now he's 11yo and plays himself. He's watched me, his Nonna, play literally his entire life - often with a dead controller in his hands so he could play with me. Lol. I'm 60yo and still playing. 😊
Skyrim is life ❤
The Skyrim AE edition also includes all previous official mods. It's a vast game of superficial options, but that's where mods come it. I'm still playing it to this day, currently running under 1000 mods. Play it, and then review some of these mod collections. It's not just a game, it's a lifestyle.
i don't have aniversry edition as it breaks some of my favorite mods (and some my NSFW mods)
I have yet to use mods just play the vanilla AE game but have over 2,000 hours in game trying different builds.
No worries, if you have AE you already own them. Fishing, etc.
@@Yuki_Ika7 you may want to reconsider when you see what they've been doing with animation.
as someone with over 1500 mods. We do get mod collections, which is like pre-packed fan made mod packages for ease of installation. A lot to make it look next gen.
do you have any good ones to recommend ? i've been playing vanilla and i'd love refreshed visuals !
@@billy_romeo if you wanna keep it running smoothly without constant crashes, skyland AIO and dawn weather/water combined makes it look pretty good, not crazy good, but decent enough. But there are many other overhauls out there but they can cause lots of crashes depending on which system you’re on.
@@vidicul9109 thank a lot man ! Does that also makeover the npcs, etc ? Because those guys look BUSTED, too. Poly count is like : 3 😂 the barrels and rocks look better than the inn keepers lmao
@@billy_romeo nah it doesn’t, but there’s a few mods that do, that usually don’t affect each other. I’ll comment again in an hour or two listing a few for NPCs, as I’m at work rn.
@@vidicul9109 thanks so much that’s so nice !
Just finished watching this reaction, excited to see what you get up to during your let's play. subscribed
I don't really have any tips because I don't go in with strategies, I just play and enjoy it while immersing myself.
Just play your way, don't focus on how others play or prefer to do things, play around and find your style!
But yea, just have fun with the game! There are so many options and it's such a big world, there's so much to see and do!
And I believe all of the DLCs come with the game now, especially if you buy the anniversary edition!
You are such a chill dude, it's nice to see someone that respects the material and doesn't just hate on it because they dont like one aspect or another.
Dude how are you posting exactly what I was looking for. I found your channel by looking up “meet the team” reaction and yours was so recent! I got back into skyrim and wanted to see some reactions to the trailer so I googled it and you had reactions again!! Within the month. Good stuff man, I should watch your channel cause apparently you post what I get into before I know it myself.
13:56 without even getting to the game proper you’ve understood one of the most iconic parts of Skyrim. That soundtrack is absolute godtier.
There’s been many times where it’s just hitting so hard I gotta pause the game, sit back and just appreciate the effort put into those songs.
An hour into it. So you hadn't finished creating your avatar? Once you do that the game really gets rolling.
Also, you really should try the Inigo mod.
Skyrim feels like a place you could live in. It just is. And the music is beyond wonderful. You can stand in so many places and just admire the beauty while listening to the music, but keep your weapon handy. I use the Skyrim soundtrack to work to, it is just perfect.
If you could live in it where would you choose? One of the smaller towns or a bigger city
So excited to watch u play! i have loved skyrim for so long and its soo cool to see someone see it for the first time!
Skyrim, morrowind, hammerfell,cyrodil, etc are countries of the world Tamriel so each series is set in different countries the newest one which is Skyrim is based in a Nordic country so it’s got more villages and cities based on Nordic (humans) times
All the DLC can be played at anytime, but you are given a note alerting you to where to go at level 10.
Dawnguard was fantastic and fits seemlessly into the game. Hearthfire had flack as people wanted something more like Dawnguard or Dragonborn, but is a really great concept and would have been loved if it was already part of the game or was free. Dragon Born is a whole new world to explore in of itself
The difference between normal mortals and the Dragonborn is the ability to learn Shouts. Shouts are the language of the Dragons themselves, but the Dovakhiin (the Dragonborn in the Dragon tongue) can learn these shouts. Each shout has three words, each word making it more powerful. The Fus Ro Dah you hear is the "Unrelenting Force" shout. But they have many others, like Slow Time, or Whirlwind Sprint. One of the main objectives of the primary questline is to learn the Dragonrend shout...which is the only shout that humans discovered far back in time. It has the power to knock a Dragon out of the sky so you can force them to fight on the ground...not that that makes it much easier. There are other characters who know some shouts, but only the Dragonborn can learn them all.
Skyrim's ost is among the best fr fr 🙏
To be back when I first got my copy back in 2013 and play the game of the year edition, it was amazing. The first time you play a game and don't know what to really expect even with all the trailers out, I was only told to give this game a shot and here I am hooked all these years.
The star wars shirt made me like you immediately, then I noticed the music you had playing at the start was from Chrono Cross (Viper Manor I think?) That's my second favorite game ever made! Immediately subscribed.
2:00- 2:30 "Is this all the same continuity?" yes and no: there is a lot of time travel phenomenon going on. (referred to as dragon breaks in universe)🤓
one of the best things about Skyrim (for me) is that you can do any quests you want at any time, you don't really even have to do the main storyline if you don't want to. There's no time limit to them, and you can choose to make your character a good person or one of the most feared people in Skyrim. It's completely up to the player.
Pro tip: Get a backpack. It increases carrying weight and they are sold at shops. They are useful for when you kill a dragon and loot the bones and scales (These are very heavy, but they sell for a TON of money at shops) it’s almost impossible to carry them without a backpack
I actually just started playing skyrim for the first time myself! I can't recommend enough some of the mod lists out there which can modernize the game and make it look like a modern game...
The DLC's can be entered into whenever you like. One is mostly environmental, but the other two are deep and intense. Hearthfire adds some content but essentially allows you to purchase land and build up to three personal homes. The main game allows you to obtain dwellings in most of the major cities and in some of the faction headquarters. Hearthfire also allows you to adopt up to two children if you wish. The Dawnguard DLC adds a deep vampire based questline where you choose to join the Dawnguard, a vampire hunting faction or the Vampire side, where you become a vampire. The Dragonborn DLC lets you leave the primary Skyrim area and journey to Solstheim, an island northeast of the main continent which has strong ties to the earlier Morrowind game. It takes you back to a prior Dragonborn (your character is not the first or the only Dragonborn.) only in the Dragonborn DLC you, as the current Dragonborn, are opposed by the resurrected Dragonborn of an earlier era...who has gone to the Darkside as it were. You can go into Dragonborn or Dawnguard when you wish to do so, but most players tend to finish the primary game first. Almost everyone I know who plays the game tends to join the Companions faction first, a mercenary faction (with Werewolves!) that is probably the best way to level up melee and ranged combat. It's a good combat learning experience.
I have played Skyrim almost every day since it released. The feel of exploration is wonderful. There is quests everywhere in the game. The DLCs are great. Your character is the dragonborne, there is many different shouts and each one does something different. When you explore a dungeon, cave, ruins, ect. Check every nook and cranny. The devs put all kinds of stuff everywhere for you to find. You can be a rogue, mage, warrior, enchanter, alchemist, and the list goes on and on. But any of my Dragonbornes can do it all. The game is so massive, and has so much your character can do that it can keep you entertained endlessly. If you pick up the books in the game and actually read them you will learn alot of the lore of the game. Some of the books are in Oblivion and Skyrim. It's a beautiful world to discover. Try it and I assure you, you will enjoy this game.
when I first saw the dragon bridge, and its architecture was breathtaking for me, although it was a long time ago, but I still remember that specific detail in the game, which says as much about a game that leaves a special mark in a player's memory.
The franchise takes place on a continent known as Tamriel. Morrowind is a country, Skyrim is a country, so different places at different times on the same continent. However you can still immerse yourself in an individual game without knowing the other games, in fact you'll learn things about the other games. For example in Skyrim you can read history books on the Oblivion Crisis.
7:25 I KNOW RIGHT?!?!
This game changed my entire life. I’m not even joking. It was very important to me 😊
The Elder Scrolls is AMAZING especially when you get into the lore
dont stress it. i never played it since it came out but when my big bro showed me the first 2 trailers i was hyped af and beat it in one night 😭 my brain was hurting ngl😂
Skyrim is fun. I've only played Skyrim and I understand it fine. It mentions something from the other games but it's just world building.
In the previous game "Oblivion" which takes place about 200 years before the events of "Skyrim" you essentially had to choose your race and the class of your character early on in character creation, Mage, Fighter, Thief, etc. In "Skyrim" you start with an essentially blank slate. Character creation is choosing Race (each of which has some benefits but not really fixing you into a role) and whether you would be male, female and your appearance. But you were in rags with no skills at all in the first scenes of the first act. From then on your character grows as you see fit. You have to build your character...is he/she a magic user or a melee fighter, an archer or a craftsman, a soldier or a thief. The very early part of the game is fairly linear until you get up to level 5 to 10. After that, you're pretty much on your own. The main story quest is you as Dragonborn dealing with the return of the dragons. But you can pretty much ignore that as long as you wish...you can go become a thief or join the Mages College or work as a mercenary. It's about the first really open world RPG I got into.
I definitely recommend using mods. Stuff like Skyui if you're playing on pc.
Legacy of the Dragonborn is a mod I can't play without because it gives you a reason to collect the various unique items and quests. It even changes the appearance of some items to make them more unique while also having patches for several different mods to display the stuff you get from them around the gallery along with other items you get from vanilla and dlc.
i dont know i wouldnt download any mod that add new content when doing a first playthrough
@@Exdorme Fair enough. Still wanted to mention it as something to mess with after the first playthrough or two.
On PC you can actually mod skyrim VR to have similar mechanics to HL Alyx so it is worth getting a few choice mods. As for me, I'm playing a Nolvus build at the moment, it automates the install of 2000+ mods and my current install requires an RTX4090.
My tip for beginners is to head in without any knowledge, it's fun to learn and figure out things that you can only do it once. Besides, you're free to spoil yourself in another save file after finishing your first run.
What I like about skyrim is cuz you get to roleplay as any character you like. It's immersive in its own right, all the more after anniversary edition hehe
Skyrim is after oblivion but has certain Easter eggs that you need to play other games before you understand them I also love how each shout means something different in dragon language
2:20 Yes, all the games take place in the same timeline and they have **mostly** been released in timeline order (iirc Morrowind is set 6 years before Oblivion, Skyrim is set 200 years after Oblivion, an exception is Elder Scrolls Online which is set long before all 3 of the "modern/3D" games), but no, you don't need to know the story of the previous games.
Sometimes there's recurring characters, but they're never super important to the main story, they're more just there to give a sense of world continuity and to give a nod to fans of the older games.
The 3 modern/3D games (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim) each take place on a different country of a larger continent called Tamriel, which is a part of the planet Nirn in the realm of Mundus.
Morrowind takes place on Vvardenfell, a volcanic island off the mainland of morrowind. Oblivion takes place in Cyrodiil, the most central region of Tamriel and the seat of the imperial empire, and Skyrim is set in the region of (you probably guessed it) Skyrim, the northernmost region of Tamriel.
Just subscribed after seeing your NMS videos! Would love it if you gave Skyrim a shot. Also, you actually can play the Alexa version of Skyrim. They made it as a joke and I don’t think it’s very in-depth, but I believe you can say “Alexa, play Skyrim” and it will actually start up lol.
Also you should play this dang game with special edition I'm currently doing the dragon Born DLC and it is amazing I recommend doing it at level 20 since you fight some hard things
So you what tips well there is a stone close to a major city called the lover stone that will help you with all your skills if used the rest you can figure out pretty easy that gos triple if you like exploring
So to explain the continuity theres 5 games so far (6 counting online). The timeframes as far as I can remember are:
Arena (First game, earliest besides online chronologically, Online I think takes place in the 2nd Era, every other game is 3rd/4th)
Daggerfall (Second Game, maybe second chronologically? Unsure)
Morrowind (Takes place closer to Oblivion then Daggerfall or Arena if I recall, third installment)
Oblivion (Fourth Installment, marks the end of the Third Era and transition into the fourth Era.)
Skyrim (Fifth Installment, Takes place 200 years into the Fourth Era. Besides Online, this I think is the longest timeskip in the series.)
Online (Im not sure if this is considered a 100% canon bethesda game, but it takes place in the second era I think, and im pretty sure it takes place like at least a thousand or two years before Arena would take place?)
I absolutely would watch you play Skyrim.
Bro I'm so excited for the skyrem vids!
9:35 oh boy trust me there is plenty of that in elder scrolls
You can play any Elder Scrolls game in any order.
The game is very open world, and the point of the games are the side quests. The main quests exist moreso to introduce you to lots of side things to do, but are decent quests of their own.
Skyrim Special Edition comes with the first three DLC (Dawngaurd, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn). The Anniversary Upgrade is a separate purchase that they only released in 2021.
Everyone that plays Skyrim should play as vanilla as possible first time, if any mods then the vanilla friendly base mods: SkyUI and Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch. If you play Skyrim VR, you definitely need mods to make it feel good. Also Skyrim VR works with Skyrim SE mods.
This game's modding community is legendary and adding new content every day. There are a couple dozen DLC sized mods, many including their own entirely new lands. On top of that, there is an entirely different video game called Enderal that you get to just have because you own the base game (it was made by a community dev team). Consider all of it as something to get into when you feel done with your first playthrough.
Simple yet hard tip to learn for you: Look under your feet, there is tons of traps from physical traps like bear traps to creative one in dungeon that not just seriusly hurt you but can one hit you end at advance dungeons there the elemental rune traps , their better to saw but in combat you can easy-ly forget about them and later the construct traps at dwarws and anchient dungeons these are the real danger regardless the difficulty you play it on!
So symplification of this is sentence: "Be Aware Of Possible Danger Around Yourself"
**************
Dragonborn means that you can learn the dragon language and can talk even with dragons that do not know human language.
1st person camera is for inside locations and 3rd for outside. The reason is simple - outside you need to know especielly when you are in combat about your extended surroundings as much as you can, in dungeons and inside areas you can easielly track your surrounding from 1st person camera and its more effective for mach better accuricy with your actions inside these areas, because, from my expirience atleast, there is no benefit from 3rd person camera view in inside locations plus as i say you need to be exact at your actions especiely the combat ones or just don kill your self againts the traps under your feets, on walls and cellings.
*************
There are 2 videos with bunch of shorter movies from devs itself on youtube and i think one movie show of multyple parts, maybe more at this time dont know, from fan (very quality one with custom camera and dubing)
I have Alexa on my Fitbit. Yes, I can and have played Skyrim on my Fitbit 🤣
Nothing beats the classic mustard jar
Most fun you can have is with swords, best version to buy is aneversery edition under special edition, make magic more useful, good UA-camr for builds is Fevvy and eso. There and plenty of glitches for the game for leveling and equipment.
Before I watch, the short answer I give everyone is how good the game is; The base game and DLC on their own, no. Modded, easily in my top 5. I'll edit this after I watch the video.
Edit: Alright, after watching the video, here's some personal views and some community views on some of the stuff you were talking about.
1. These games can be fun on their own, but BGS (Bethesda Game Studio) games are notorious for being buggy and having issues. With that in mind, you REALLY need mods even at a base level to fix the bugs in them.
2. Skyrim does address racism, though it's mostly on a surface level, but I will give it credit on the fact that a good portion of both sides are kinda racist in general.
3. As for the fallout games, genuinely, you should try out Fallout New Vegas, it uses a modified version of the Fallout 3 engine, but its more of an RPG experience, there are also a lot of plot elements that Skyrim obviously took from it.
4. On the subject of modding, any game using any of the iterations of their engine are great for modding.
5. Just my opinion, the last 3 titles from Bethesda in this regard (Fallout 4, Fallout 76 and Starfield) are awful, they keep on "simplifying" RPG elements like skills and abilities to reach a wider audience, which they succeed at, but I think it comes at the cost of both play time, and interest in the games.
I'd enjoy a Skyrim livestream from you
Just started playing Skyrim again (S. Edition) XB1) with mods (also if you're playing mods on consoles look up mod load order)
Cinematics for the TESO also really cool. Like a movie :)
I'll try to explain the concept of shouting as comprehensively as possible (but it will require dwelling a tad into the lore), starting with an introduction to what a dragonborn is, as well as the nature of dragons within the Elder Scrolls universe.
Dragons, unlike most beings, do not truly die; instead, they become discarnate. This is because, although they possess physical bodies, they are fundamentally Et'Ada, primordial spirits akin to the deities of the Elder Scrolls world. Originating from shards of Akatosh, the dragon god of time, dragons' souls roam the land upon their physical death, destined for reincarnation rather than true death. However, this cycle is broken if their soul is absorbed by a Dragonborn.
Speaking of Dragonborns, they have been present throughout the Elder Scrolls timeline and generally fall into one of two categories:
- Gifted Dragonborns are possibly chosen by Akatosh. They possess a mortal body but are imbued with a dragon soul and dragon blood, granting them extraordinary powers.
- Heir Dragonborns descend from the gifted ones. They inherit a mortal soul along with the dragon blood, marking their lineage with special significance. This is exemplified by the Septim dynasty, which traced its right to the Imperial Throne through descent from Tiber Septim, a gifted Dragonborn.
As for the dragons themselves, they are highly intelligent, possibly surpassing most other intelligent species on Nirn. Were it not for their compulsion towards dominance, they might well have conquered all of Tamriel. Their intelligence extends to their language, Dovahzul, which, while not difficult to learn, presents a significant challenge to master its magical application known as the Thu'um.
The Thu'um is essentially a form of magic derived from Dovahzul that allows for a wide range of magical effects. Gifted Dragonborns can quickly learn Thu'um if they know the word and the correct pronunciation to achieve the desired effect. This rapid learning is facilitated by absorbing a dragon's soul, not for the soul itself, but for the knowledge it contains. In essence, the Thu'um represents one of the most versatile forms of magic in the Elder Scrolls universe, despite the games only showcasing a fraction of its potential.
It is suggested that the Elder Scrolls world is the dream of an entity known as the Godhead, with some cultures referring to the world as both a dream and a song. This notion is particularly interesting because the most powerful magics in this universe, namely the Thu'um and tonal magic, are both intimately connected to sound.
Skyrim was epic to gaming, just like Games of Thtones was to fantasy series.
I would have greatly recommend a play through without mods, then pick up mods on the second go. Just to get an organic feeling of the game then see how the mods improve and update. But hell people barely ever play without modding, cheating, or exploits now 😅
I started gaming last year after more than 20 years without. Skyrim was the fifth game I played for PS 4. Until now its the best experience I ever had in gaming. I also started Witcher 3 (so boring!), Horizion 1 and 2, Assassins Creed, Elex 2 and other Open World Games and RPGs. They are good, funny. But Skyrim feels like a living world, immersive. I love how the land of Skyrim connects with me, so I really feel an emotional connection to it. One of the other games to achieve this was Kingdom Come Deliverance. t is the only game that comes close to Skyrim.
The Dragonborn or 'Dovahkiin' is a Mortal born with the soul of a dragon. It's why they can 'Shout' like they do. For dragons, shouting comes as easy as breathing, but Mortals must usually study for decades to be able to do it.
Oh trust me, the elder scrolls is filled with racism, in morrowind youll get slurs thrown at you relentlessly, the dark elves in windhelm, a major city in skyrim, live in a slum and a nord guy enjoys beating them up, argonians, the lizard people, arent allowed in that city at all.
Khajit arent allowed in whiterun because of their reputation as thieves etc.
The shouts are what dragons get their power from, when a dragon is breathing fire, its actually shouting, you can learn different shouts that let you do dragon things like breathe fire.
That is because youre essentially a dragon in a human body
First Ps3 = 480h second ps3 round about 200h and one modded with 50H. On PC I've got 427h and special edition 206h (steam) and ps4 anniversary edition 233h and Vr with 150😂 it is, one of the timeless masterpieces out there ❤
It'd be really cool to see you react to all of the fallout trailers since you said you're not familiar with the series
also the fus ro dah is a shout in the language of the dragons
Miraak is by far the coolest character, fight me
Edit:Miraak is the first Dragonborn
skyrim vr is so good its hard to see myself playing it any other way
Curently I am playing an Assassin-Illusion/Destruction Mage. Just crossed the level 50 mark with 100% Stealth and 100% Illusion and over 80% Destruction. Have never used mods with over 2,000 hours over the past 6 years.
Fus ro dah
Fus means force
Ro means balance
Dah means push
FUS RO DAH!!!
Ive loved this game and brought back such nostalgia when i played it agian
: Alexa: "yes" activate Dragon born "yes master"
None of us will ever experience that feeling of playing Skyrim for the first time ever again. 💔
Skyrim is a once in a few generations kinda fantasy world where you do wanna get lost from reality.
You dont need to play the other Elder Scrolls games.
If you have played them all, then there are a lot of references to them throughout the game…but they are done in such a way that you can either the important info of what had happened in the past game that is relevant now. Or getting the reference isn’t really relevant so you probably wont even notice.
-there is a continuity but you do not need to play the previous games before hand, but you might be a tiny bit out of the loop when they mention things like the oblivion crisis or other lore tidbits but it should not effect your experience, if you have any questions just look up lore videos, Skyrim takes place around 200 years after Oblivion
- there is not set path after you get out of the tutorial
- they might not seem like it at first, but the Empire are the good guys of this story (or at least the lesser of several evils), if you know the lore anyways
- all of the 3 main DLC come free with the special edition (which is the version i recommend the most), Anniversary edition has all that and some mods made by fans approved by Bethesda (the devs) but they can mess up certain popular mods so i do not recommend it, but you can still buy the anniversary edition for 20 USD as DLC to special edition
-unless you are aiming (without some mods) 3rd person is easier
-
-it is pretty good vanilla, but where it truly shines is the MODS AND MODDING COMMUNITY, it probably has the most mods of ANY GAME, probably even more or around the same number of mods as Minecraft (not to mention deleted mods, mods for different versions of the game, etc.)
-the very special edition was a joke for one year's E3 or an April fools (i forget which)
Yeah I have thousands of hours in both Skyrims lol. I haven't touched the anniversary edition update since it's just fishing and paid mods but og and se can be super fun.
I love to hear your reaction to this, other games and music, but please can we hear some of what is happening in a game?
I like 3rd person you get to see all your cool buffs from magic and armour/weapons as well as you can deck your companions out to
I still remember stepping on a wheel of cheese and killing like 5 others and myself. Good times.
9:36 The world seems at peace with all these races and stuff 😂😂😂😂 Sir, have fun 🎉
Yeah this is a very peaceful elven ghetto.
Sky in the rim
No matter what build you do it will always lead to stelath archer with how broken it is
this game takes 200 years after the oblivion
over 3000 hours on Steam, plus at least 1000 on my hard copy and I've never seen these
This game is NOT linear. You pass the tutorial and you can go wherever the fuck you want
Skyrim is my favorite game of all time and i dont think ill ever see a game as good as it is (imo)
I love it, and Oblivion, it's predecessor. Never got to Morrowind, though, but I've heard good things about that entry to the franchise..
I've probably played over 700 hours over the years and still enjoy it
Please play Skyrim... I was curious about playing it but my friend bought be the game and i was shocked how good it is 😮
doesn't matter if you were in high school or on college when Skyrim released , if you were a true gamer you would buy it and play it as soon as you can. it is a game of the decade mate. but nvm , never is too late they say.
TIP stealth archer is the goat
I remember that first time I played vanilla after playing mods. I instantly swore to never touch vanilla again😂😂😂
The baby faced assassins illusive game.🦄
Skyrim verry special edition is actually real ye the trailer seemd like a skit because it was an April fools joke and at this point skyrim became a meme but alas it is real and you can play it on alexa
