  • Silas has been having mysterious nightmares that make him scared he might hurt those around him. In order to protect his neighbors, Silas has decided to build a homestead deep in the woods of Falkreath, far from civilization. Can he make a new life for himself? And will he ever find out where the nightmares come from?
    Thank you all so much for watching and enjoying the last Skyrim video. I was blown away when I got 1,000 views practically overnight, and I can't even begin to describe how amazed I am now with over 300k views! I really appreciate all the supportive comments, especially from people who said my video inspired them to replay Skyrim again. I really hope you like this one, and please leave feedback in the comments! If you have an idea of what town I should play in for the next video, let me know! And thanks to my dad for voicing Silas. Thanks again, and enjoy!

      There are a fair few farming and life sim games on steam that do that. The thing is you need to give up 3D graphics to play them, but they're there.
      "Spiritfarer" is a HIGH recommendation. You're basically the afterlife's ferryman in that game. "Wytchwood" is a game where you play as a witch brewing potions and balancing things in the woods. "Journey" is the obvious choice, and is free on some platforms.
      There are more but those three are a good place to start

I was super disheartened when I realize most videos are just talkovers instead of narrative storytelling. Seeing that you made a 2nd one, instantly brightened my day! I would love to see you do Windhelm or Riften, just because of how bleak those places are! Thank you for making such fun content!

    Keep up the good work! For the next hold it would be really interesting if you did something like Riften, but instead of can you make an honest living, you could try making a dishonest living, only selling things through the fence and what not. Outside of that, Markarth could be really fun if you tied in the slave stuff they have going on with the mines!

    I really enjoy the more narrative parts, like the opening and near the end, where you sound more calm, it really creates a better atmosphere that really convey the story you present. I personally would say, if you do narrative videos where you lean more into this "telling a story" with footage vibe it would make great content. In any case great work on the video and thank you for making it

    i love the willful ignorance you approach some of the darker quests with, like the razor in this episode at 15:11 and grelod's death in the whiterun episode. of course it's in character for you to not know what they are so it makes sense, but each time it just gives "huh, i wonder who that's for" and it makes me laugh
    i'd love to see you try an argonian for one of these, they're my favorite race 🦎

    You should do a video were you have to live as a thief. You can go around Skyrim but your only a rookie thief so you don’t take challenges to hard. You could build a camp as a base. I think joining the thieves guild would be different then just being a thief because you can make more money easily then if you just steal and commit other crimes.
