that is a great question, the completely honest answer, is that it would've taken too long. I felt like even the Dawnguard section was a bit long, so to add the Dragonborn quests on top would have felt like it took away from the overall goal of the video. but yeah I'm sure that man would have destroyed me LOL
Also he said he was taking on the strongest of each section. So Kaarstag from the Dragonborn dlc is stronger than Miraak. Ebony Warrior is ALSO from the Dragonborn dlc and is also stronger, meant to be an endgame challenge due to only showing up at level 80. Tho tbf Miraak would've been properly Souls-like due to having phase changes with absorbing the surrounding dragons' souls and eventually using the Dragon Aspect shout.
@@KarmasAB123 As someone who plays on legendary difficulty more than I haven't, I have to strongly disagree. Magic is so incredibly strong on legendary for enemies due to how much more damage you take, the insanely high magicka pools they have and how fast they can fire spells. Add in the mods, and its guaranteed to be a hard fight.
@@JustaJabberwocky Valhalla combat( you have to time your blocks and manage your stamina, plus stun/execution mechanic), Additional Attack by loop(let you map an additional attack button that does a long 3 hit power attack), Bow charge plus(you can charge your shots and do more damage the more you charge them either as a single charged shot or as a rush of max 3 quick arrows),Skyrim Directional Combat( Combat system like For honor you have 4 blocking directions you have to block the right direction, plus unblockable attacks and counters) , Throwing Weapons Lite( you now have throwing knives, spears, axes, explosive grenades, molotov like grenades, ice grenades, smoke grenades), there are more but so far those are the ones I had in mind at the moment.
You should play vigilant it is basically the aesthetic version of this, like a lot of dark souls Armor and a pelinal whitestrake That is just like the artorius fight
The music playing when fighting Alduin is recognizable. You can find out more from GeoffPlaysGuitar as he's been making music in the style of DOOM Eternal. He explained in one video that this style is now called Argent Metal.
“I’m not great with technology so it took me around 8 hours to mod Skyrim like this” my brother in Christ that is a normal amount of time to spend modding a Bethesda game
Ultimate Combat , Revenge of the Enemies, and Enemy Overhaul also do a lot to make even the standard enemies way harder. Particularly helos with NPC bosses like Mercer, Vyrthur, Miraak etc to actually make them challenging
Challenging? What's the challenge, how many potions you can chug while spamming M1? Pretty much Skyrim in a nutshell. Even with Requiem this game is unplayable trash.
@@smoqueed44 If you don't like skyrim melee gameplay spice it up with mods that add useful and strategic perks, spells, use a bow, its your fault if you are just spamming m1 even on vanilla skyrim. I'm not saying the combat is great, but it's not unplayable trash.
@@Tokmurok @Evan Combat mods add spice to the gameplay in the same way it'd add to the flavour of a turd. At the end of the day, any game that can be completed with M1 spam is a terrible game. There is no skill nor fun involved. On top of that, the world of Skyrim is big as an ocean and as shallow as a pool. The game is utterly worthless. Its success is proof that gaming is dead.
@@smoqueed44 I don't disagree with you completely. But I think it's more like in some areas Skyrim is rather fleshed out and immersive, and in others the depth is shallow, even more so than a pool. If the game was complete trash I don't think it would have been a success at all. But in many ways it is a step down from previous titles like oblivion. Far smaller in size to even daggerfall that was the size of England and procedurally generated in many ways making it a special experience every time. Alot of older games innovated more than Skyrim. It was just a product of its era, there are far better selections now. I would say the best part about it is the music and atmosphere, the combat is terribly weak however. Its kind of like one of those fruity teas that smell brilliant but taste rather underwhelming. You can enjoy the music outside of the game and the aforementioned atmosphere is a product of nature's beauty anyway. So it's not like Skyrim provides unique mechanics it has a half decent mix of preexisting stuff.
@@Tokmurok this is probally gonna sound stupid but all in all i feel like Skyrim's combat issue boils down to being able to and it being mandatory to pause during combat to use items or change equipment (this ones more for mages) in addition to resources becoming irrelevant which is more so out of the fact that you can just spam items during combat and often feeling like you need to. things that ultimately both make combat trivial and make combat not feel good even when theirs a lot of nice ideas given it's age. and really imo the games strongest point is the overworld and how good it feels to explore, and sure thats mostly natures beauty. but the fact being that it captures a wild and harsh open world, with caves, ruins and small towns dotted across it which makes Skyrim's wilderness feel both like wilderness but also like it's lived in. and before you get on me about it's empty cities feeling empty and lifeless that is true and i don't discount that but anything else has been a technical limitation in many cases even to today. to expect a game to have cities that are appropriately full and alive is a high bar for something that released more than 10 years ago.
I just started a playthrough with this exact same idea and absolutely love it. I was laughing too because at one point I was tposing around just like you in the beginning too.
I had some of these mods, but some I hope will make great additions to my list, I had mostly animations and with just that it was a bit too easy against anything that wasn't a dragon regardless of difficulty setting. Much appreciated for including which mods you used in the description for viewing. 😁💯
Dude you deserve way more subs. Your content is stellar for a smaller creator. I'm gonna have to get these mods working at some point cause I also wish I could mix dark scrolls together. Maybe it'll make me like Skyrim again. But again, great content
you can say that this video is the Dark Souls of mods showcase for Skyrim also, shout out to the Ebony warrior who died and then did a Fortnite dance, absolute legend
Im subbed to Heavy and thanks to that video, ive done the same with Skyrim SE. took it from a barely functioning RPG to something akin to Dark Souls and DIABLO 1 in terms of creatures, quest mods and expanded storytelling.
It was called "Elder Souls." But I can't find it on Wabbajack now. I also installed it and I liked it but I can't say how "souls-like" it was because mostly I just cheesed the combat due to difficulty. Back then I had no experience with souls type games.
Other: plays skrim cause it has history and stories Me: plays skyrim cause 3rd person looked like a souls game and it has story as well memes Also me: we're not the same
It might help to provide a link for these two as just by searching and a moderate understanding of how the nexus works, I was unable to find the mods below - Gold Optimized Loot Drops 1.0 - Souls Hit Sound
@@maximilianmixa4968 That could be correct, I'm not sure. What became obvious after getting them all together was that the other mods listed match up with file name of the mod rather than their name of the mod on the nexus, which are both subject to change. A better suggestion might be an updated C/P of the name of the mod on Nexus so it is easier to find.
you know you can make the videos longer right? this pacing wastes the entire premise of the video since we see you fight like 1 thing the whole time and its just mega-jumpcuts through the rest. everything after alduin in the video feels like the school project was due at 12 and you just remembered you had to do it.
Finally a new video I’ve watched Eldemon like nine times now
I’ve watched it once
It is still my favorite video ever! I have watched it too many times
@@TheShowerofSlime same
SO TRUE LMAOO
True I watched it 30 times
This video was great! Thanks for the shoutout, glad you got stuff all up and running 😄
you are a saint
We need a remaster for this one Mr. Burns with all the new combat and animation mods out now
its funny because when Elden Ring was announced i thought it was part of the elder scrolls but with a different name lol
Same
Big sad much disappoint
Dude no way I thiught it was Lotr
Oh really? I thought it was a new fifa game.
The normie brain needs to be studied
is there a particular reason you didn't take on miraak? if magic is as strong as you said he would count as a great challenge, no?

Aside from stealing the health from dragons, Miraak is really just a regular wizard fight. He's not terribly strong.

@@olivermccarthy456 Fair. I only played on legendary once and decided it wasn't worth my time.
07:40 doesn't matter how many mods you put into the game, at the end of the day, it still boils down to mashing the attack button.
it really depends on the mods tbh.
Kinda want a mod where you can get more ways to attack than just mashing one button to attack
Any suggestions?

As someone suffering through my first Dark Souls playthrough ever I'm mad about how good and fun this idea is -- great work!!!
Dude your videos are awesome, I seriously binged your channel rn! Keep ‘em coming!!
Elden Scrolls 5: Sky Souls looks sick, can't wait for them to bring it to consoles. I thoroughly enjoyed the Demon Souls DS port myself.
Are they planning to bring it too consoles?

Eyes like an hawk, there, your welcome.
Nice, I did a playthrough a year ago with a bunch of the same mods. The combat roll and quick slot thing is massive.
I just started a playthrough with this exact same idea and absolutely love it. I was laughing too because at one point I was tposing around just like you in the beginning too.
You should have played vigilant its one of many dark souls inspired skyrim mods quests with new land and cool bosses
lol but the snow elves quest is one of my favourite quests and I cringed when you called it terrible
my dad calls it "Elden Scrolls" as well bro 💀
I had some of these mods, but some I hope will make great additions to my list, I had mostly animations and with just that it was a bit too easy against anything that wasn't a dragon regardless of difficulty setting. Much appreciated for including which mods you used in the description for viewing. 😁💯
Darkrim , Soulrim , Darksky , Skysouls , Soulrim , Lastly Dark Scrolls , So many name to choose from,
ONLY eight hours? You sweet summer child....
Hey congrats your channel seems to be growing!
I'm sure it was a pain getting these mods to work (always is), but it would've been great to have Dragon Combat Overhaul.
When you were in Soul Cairn, you could fight the Reaper (mini boss).
Lesssss goooo love your videos!
Eyes like a HAWK I love the vid keep up the work
if you want to do this consider getting a mod that increases stamina regen speed
Dude you deserve way more subs. Your content is stellar for a smaller creator. I'm gonna have to get these mods working at some point cause I also wish I could mix dark scrolls together. Maybe it'll make me like Skyrim again. But again, great content
lemon party is such an old reference i forgot about. wish i remained that way
You should have really used MCO. The combat makes it so similar to Dark Souls/Elden Ring
Amazing video! Deserves way more views
Title of video "I turned Skyrim into Dark Souls."
Me: "So you made Elden Ring?"
i love how if someone watching this hasn't played dark souls 1 that pinwheel joke 7 minutes in would make them think pinwheel is hard
Two of my favorite games turned into one
you can say that this video is the Dark Souls of mods showcase for Skyrim
also, shout out to the Ebony warrior who died and then did a Fortnite dance, absolute legend
yayyyyyyy now wheres part 2?

"The strongest boss in Skyrim: Alduin."
Me: "That's a very weird way to say Ebony Warrior."
It’d be great to combine the two games strongest suits ( skyrims world and dark soulses combat) into one game
Why am I so addicted to this channel
It's cause his production quality is through the roof
"It took me 8 HOURS to get the game to work!"
Lol, imagine getting mods to work XD *glances at 200+ mod list*
This title reminds me of “I’ll take a potato chip, and eat it!”
I thought I went blind watching this, but it was just the shade you threw on Miraa, damn
Ahh..it's been 11 yrs now..this game still "ALIVE"..
You can absolutely shred Karstag by stacking fire breath meditation perk with the the fire breath Black Book perk
the ringing at 5:09 made me think someone was ringing my doorbell
Love the video...subbed
This is a cool thing to do for one playthrough but I genuinely can't believe people play Skyrim permanently set up to be like this
God has blessed us with The Dark Scrolls V:Skyrim - Special Edition

Lets goo Dumpykong!
I saw a modlist that supposedly did something like this using Wabbajack. It's a modlist installer that is pretty nice.
It was called "Elder Souls." But I can't find it on Wabbajack now. I also installed it and I liked it but I can't say how "souls-like" it was because mostly I just cheesed the combat due to difficulty. Back then I had no experience with souls type games.
Getting all these mods to work is so fucking difficult..
Dude really said the Forgotten Vale quest was bad. Dang.
Messing up animations he just like me fr
Ah elder ring made by fromthesda
3:38 when you die you come back to life because you are a hollow, dragonborn.
Ngl I was slightly dissapointed when serrana appeared and you didn't do the edit...you know the one
LOL I was thinking about it I promise 😂
"Just kill him" is the same as TFS Goku saying "Hit him REALLY Hard"
Its Very Effective!! Lol
you forgot miraak, and adding him to your kill list has 1 good reason: He is Dragonborn too :)
Mildly disappointed u didn't kill the Reaper in the Soul Cairn.
Hearing the dragon names phonetically pronounced per word is giving me an aneurysm
Yeah I got that lemon party joke. My soul wishes I wouldn't have.
Skyrim reskin for Elden Ring or DS3 or maybe Sekiro would be dope. Alduin would be like Midir and Dragonlord combined.
Eyes like a hawk
you are the chosen one (good eyes tho fr)

Why every time this happens? I see some random guy play skyrim and bang, I install again
I accidentally one shot Harkon when I fought him for the first time. Dagger
My favorite YTber! Very entertaining video!
no way is that the new dark scrouls
ludwigs theme was the most surprising part of this video
jerkoff windcaller has to be one of the funniest things i’ve ever heard
god i fucking LOVE dark souls
begin your new life
Every dark souls player:
Other: plays skrim cause it has history and stories
Me: plays skyrim cause 3rd person looked like a souls game and it has story as well memes
Also me: we're not the same
Bro! You need mco, precision, tdm and scar for combat too! Than you download vigilant as quest mod and make your next run!
Can't believe the Ebony Warrior pointed down at you smh
The into is heresy
Pick a Breton and call him Gwyn GG ⚡️⚡️
Fun casual game: *Exists
dumpykong: "Time to torture myself for others entertainment"
R.I.P. Miraak I guess.
If only there was a game called elden ring that was like Skyrim plus dark souls
What is that
got eyes like a hawk
Wish I could do this on Xbox. Eyes like a hawk.
At this point I'd be more impressed if you could turn Dark Souls into Skyrim...
Imagine if their was a mod that turns every single enemy in elden ring into a boss
Imagine if their was a mod that made Shawn Belanger into a boss
its called the elden ring randomizer and it exists
Alduin and Harkon where shot by one arrow each.....where is the so called stre.....oh, i exploit all skills? Yeah....maybe....
