The funniest thing about the stealth archer build is that at 100 Sneak, you could be taking out a group of enemies from five feet away- and each NPC, at the sight of their friends and cohorts falling dead in front of them, will still carry on like traffic to Whiterun is their biggest worry.
When I did stealth archer playthroughs, I'd always go for that ebony chestplate daedric artifact that made you invisible when you sneak, so I didn't really even need sneak 100 to rip apart a totally oblivious group of foes! Very powerful stuff and my go to item when I do any sort of stealth.
You are not wrong. I discovered things you could not even imagine. I wish there was a server I could share. Sorcerer Mastery is the best easiest way to defeat everythings in Skyrim.Especially since I found a way for spells to take nothing away from magica.
The dwemer enslaved the falmer and the falmer farm chaurus so it makes sense they show up together. I love the dwemer layouts aside from black reach but I also only play modded at this point so its all fixed for me
After 4 I felt the need to share my experience with companions. It was either farkas or vilkas I had as one, and one day they disappeared, no where to be seen. Game wouldn’t let me replace him because it registered he was still with me. Years later I’m still playing, deep in a cave, when that dude comes booking it full speed at me in a cave at 2am. I was traumatized and confused
My favorite part of Skyrim is spending half an hour particularly and tentatively placing my bugs in jars on the small tables of my indoor garden, just to come back a day later and find everything I meticulously placed on the floor.
@@jacobbullington1299 maybe it's just me and my luck. Or maybe its because I stopped trying at the first house in white run. I just leave it as is now. Or did, I can't play rn. Lol
For me it was the dwemer tombs and fighting all those falmers and stuff. It just took too long to complete, in my opinion and it got really repetitive.
@@benzohhhhh I mean sure if you wanna basically hit console command - make me immortal and one-shot everything without actually typing in any console commands. Since ya know, that's exactly what that exploit effectively does.
Most people probably think he's pretty pathetic and not even worth giving the time of day, let alone worth getting involved with the DB. I mean he talks a big game, but he literally never goes to the Cloud District himself.
@Nick tbf he does he's there loads funny thing is he asked me I'd I get to cloud district often while we were in the cloud district while I was thane...
I’ve played since 2012, and I finally had enough of Nazeem. Contract or no, I waited for him to go to sleep and gave him a poisoned apple in a reverse pickpocket. I watched from the corner as the poison did it’s work. No murder in my crime stats, therefore no bounty. And, best of all no more Nazeem.
Another annoying thing about fighting dragons is that they'll just randomly fly off to fight something else. I cannot count how many times I've been fighting a dragon, only for it to fly 30 feet away to fight a wolf or some other enemy.
I’m the opposite with stealth archer. I’m like,” ok I’m gonna do stealth!” *sees any type of two handed weapons*”DONT YOU TEMP ME!”*gives in and then just runs through everything*
Have you tried stealth two handed weapon? my first skyrim character had 50 in stealth and would bash skulls in from the shadows while wearing daedric armor
i once had a bug where farkas kept autonomously running up to me and initiating conversation with a weapon drawn. he wasn't my follower, either-i'd barely even looked at jorrvaskr the whole playthrough, but he just. kept. hounding me. i tried fast traveling to get away. he followed. i tried riding a horse all the way to solitude in the hope that he'd lose interest after i was far enough away. nearly an hour later, and halfway through potema's catacombs, the clank of steel footsteps approaches behind me. i try fus-ro-dah-ing him of the throat of the world. i try beating the companions quest to get him as a legitimate follower. i try luring him into a dragon's lair and hoping he doesn't leave. and every time. every single time, sometimes _mid-combat,_ he runs up to me, grabs his stupid steel greatsword, pulls me into conversation, and says, "some people don't think i'm smart. those people get my fist. but you, i like." eventually, i turn to the internet. surely, surely someone out there must have heard of this before, right? there must be a fix, this game has been out for years! and then, there, on his wiki page, i see it. while not recognized as one in the game, he's got some guard ai. if a player has a high enough bounty, regardless of which hold, those lines of code will demand he make an arrest. he's not a guard. he can't make an arrest. there are several suggested fixes. resetting his ai doesn't work. resetting his entire character entity doesn't work. the only remaining suggestion is to pay off your bounty. i look miserably upon my crime statistics. i have only one outstanding bounty. 8000 gold, in the reach. i earned it from beginning the forsworn conspiracy questline. i ran away when they tried to arrest me. hours ago, a bounty hunter approached me and demanded i pay, either in coin, or in blood. i chose coin. he walked back to markarth. out of paranoia, i followed. he entered the city. i waited, hiding, for fifteen real-life minutes. long enough, surely, for the npc to deliver my payment. i resumed gameplay as usual. several in-game days have passed. i still have an 8000 gold bounty. farkas will not stop following me until i have paid it off. i cannot pay it off without continuing the forsworn conspiracy quest. i cannot continue the forsworn conspiracy quest with him following me. i do not _want_ to continue the forsworn conspiracy quest. i reload an old save and spend the rest of the playthrough avoiding whiterun like the plague, but still, still i can hear his voice. mocking me. taunting me. saying, "but you, i like." and that's why i can't look at farkas without seeing tamriel's most dedicated stalker, thanks for coming to my ted talk
this happened to my brother as well, and he was wearing an amulet of Mara so Farkas would keep coming up and asking about it, it became a huge inside joke that we still laugh at 10 years later
Special mention: Delphine demanding you kill Paarthurnax. She was fine until then, and Esbern seemed pretty cool, but the fact that I can't make peace between them and Paarthurnax...not even after defeating Alduin--wtf?
Except the mod there is also the option of just ignoring the quest. Then Parthunaax is will live and you will get a special cutscene at the end of the game.
I always thought the cloud district was way off in one of the big cities. When I found out it was just the upper part of Whiterun it made hearing that line some much more annoying. Also, I spent so much time underground at one point that I couldn't stand being underground, I didn't do any quests that wanted me to go into caves. I had gotten so sick of it I wouldn't even mine in Minecraft.
It got to a point where I do one dungeon mission then every other mission available before doing the next dungeon, and I now avoid dwemer ruins like the plague
I hate dwarven ruins far more, atleast the draugr ones are straight forward and give you good loot and infinite ebony stuff to sell, the dwarven ones are convoluted, have awful and heavy loot. Entering them is as much of a pain as it is getting out.
I remember exploring Blackreach the first time,I totally regretted it once the Dwarven Machine and Bug creatures I forgot the name of but I can't stand them at all!
Dwarven ruins don’t suck as long as you have a donkey/pack mule follower. I partner with Vigilance and Mjoll and because of the bugs, I can come out with TONS of loot to sell.
The most annoying thing about placing objects is that most things like potion bottles or bowls are picked up from the bottom, so they'll always be upside down when you lift them.
Another thing: even if you manage to get an object where you want it, there's a fair chance it will be on the floor if you leave the house and come back.
@@mkm7251 tbf they did add one for fallout 4, so hopefully it shouldn't be an issue in Starfield either. Still doesn't fix Skyrim, but I'm sure there's a mod to do that.
Other than being long and sometimes annoying battles, dragons instead of being tough are super easy, I'm scared of bears, trolls and saber tigers, but not dragons. You hear that "danger, epic battle incoming" music, then "Ah, it's ok, it's just a dragon..."
Dude Im so glad you added how heavy dragon scales and bones are. I thought I was going crazy thinking how much I had to sell them or just not pick up the drops 😂
This. I rarely ever go for dragon plate armor, it's always daedric or, since I always boost my smithing, alchemy and enchanting, i take the armor that is most aesthetically pleasing at the time and boost it to 500 armor rating (cap is somewhere around 485, or something like that, it gives you 80% damage reduction, anything over 500 is useless as it doesn't go over 80% cap). Dragon bones and scales are just a bitch to carry. For a complete armor set + weapon and shield (if you decide on one) it needs a lot of em. Same goes for dwarven armor. The raw material for it is just way too heavy. Although you can always buy the ingots so it's not so much of a hassle.
@@CRO_Bash95 You actually need 667 to hit the cap. Each piece of armor has a 25 point hidden bonus, so with four pieces you need a displayed rating of 567. If you don't like helmets so only have 3 pieces, you need a displayed rating of 592. With a full set of armor and shield, you need 542 displayed.
I love Bleak falls Barrow, after killing the bandit stuck in the web and getting the gold dragon claw, I get perverse enjoyment luring draugers into stepping on the trap that activates the swinging gate and sends them flying.
Those traps are so fun :D And they're not just in Bleak Falls Barrow, too. (Also, has there ever been a location as iconic as Bleak Falls Barrow? Everyone knows Bleak Falls Barrow)
Those traps are honestly the best in the game. There have been times where they genuinely scare the shit out of me, and they're so fun to mess with. All the floor traps are boring garbage purely designed to slow you down. Nobody likes the fire jets, nobody likes the spears, they just suck. The wall axes? Maybe the first few times it can be a cool Indiana Jones type thing. But the gates? Love them
Nazeem: "Do you get to the cloud district very often?" Me: "Yes every bloody time im in Whiterun. Since its the only ffin place that has a ffin enchanters table. I need to run 54 times up and down those friggin stairs, to forge gear, to enchant gear, to sell gear. And you Nazeem, do you come in the cloud district very often? hmm mister high and mighty? NOOOOO your friggin pathfiding does NOT include the cloud district and thus you never ever set one foot up that stupid stairs, so stuff it and never ask me those stupid questions again"...
Pro-tip for anyone who has grown to hate Dragons: If you never get the Dragonstone from BFB and advance the MSQ, you won't ever see dragons. This of course also means no shouts, but a small price to pay if you want to play the rest of the game without them.
You can complete BFB and return the stone. Just dont go near the watchtower that will spawn your first dragon encounter and thus spawn them into the world in general
I actually like draugr tombs than dwarven ruins, at least the draugr tombs are straightforward and these are often the ones that contain word walls. Dwarven ruins however, have these convoluted pathways, traps, heavy loot, and it feels less satisfying slicing at metal than draugr flesh, basically it feels more like a yawn to go through dwarven ruins, unless they have quests related to them, I don't bother with them.
I like Nordic tombs and ruins over Dwemer any day. It's not the complexity that bugs me though. It's the never-ending sounds of the steam machinery combined with the size. Either on their own wouldn't be bad, but both? Not my thing.
There's a mod called EVG Animated Traversal which adds points in places which use special animations in order to move around in different ways. It's no way near Assassin's Creed level though, more like Tomb Raider lite
AC-like traversal has nothing to do with physics, it's gameplay mechanics. Skyrim has janky physics but nothing too bad. Better than Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk for sure.
There is a conjurer named Lu'ah Al-Skaven located in Ansilvund that could have created a 3rd option for the civil war. She was raising an army of draugr to fight in the war to get revenge for her husband etc. This could have been great option.
The Falmer seemed like an afterthought which got shoehorned into the Dawnguard quest line. I would have liked more about them. Having them wage war with their bugs for flying units would be cool. Maybe because I like underdogs, I like the idea of their subterranean world, and my family has albinism, I find the Falmer really cool.
So when he mentioned children, I sincerely thought he was gonna talk about sometimes they may give you a black soul gem. (Honestly, I never seen this adult animations glitch and I’ve been playing since Legendary Edition on the 360.) If you forgot or didn’t know, black soul gems are the only soul gems that can trap a human (as well as mer and beastfolk) soul, and you’re left wondering “Sofie, where is your brother?”
@@leefy5615 Yeah, Sofie reminds me of The Little Match Girl and I didn’t want her to meet the same end. Not to mention that there’s a literal serial killer on the loose.
Additionally, with the dragon fights. They will fight and focus on anything but you in an area so if there is a dear or wolf spawned somewhere, it will fight those first even though it started the fight with you to begin with. You end up chasing it around for hours.
Yes! Those dragons have some serious ADHD until you get Dragonrend and can keep them on the ground. Even then they sometimes do stupid stuff like landing on the other side of a mountain range from you.
It can be nice if you’re still a bit weaker. In the beginning, it’s really nice to have a dragon get distracted, but it’s brutal once you’re high level.
Blackreach was awesome until I had to spend half my life looking for 30 stupid crimson nirnroots. Any fun gets sucked out of the place the 3rd time you have to do that 💀
@@TheExigency Download the Achievements Enabler mod. Works like a charm. And idk why but while I have an abysmal memory, like the a goldfish suffering from dementia, somehow, for absolutely no reason my brain has decided to straight up memorize the locations of the Crimson Nirnroots as well as most Iron /Silver /Gold veins within the vicinity of Whiterun hold. Nowadays I just leave Blackreach with a smile and 40 Crimson Nirnroots in my pocket or I go on a Gold run and have 100+ ores to Transmute. Yet I can't even remember wth I ate last evening.
One of the biggest things in Skyrim that annoys the hell outta me, is that when building lakeview manor you can't build every thing. You can't build both childrens bedrooms and an enchanters tower, and you cant build both an armory and an alchemy workshop. Its like, "im building it, its my house, LET ME BUILD WHAT I WANT". Edit: a few spelling errors
About number 7, it's especially enraging when you've played previous Elder Scrolls: -In Oblivion, grabbing an object grabs it by the targeted vertex, the very point you're looking at. This allows for fine control and putting things upright. -In Skyrim, you're ALWAYS picking it up by the _center base_ of the object. Hence why the objects always flip over, how you can't just pull it an inch to the side, etc... To add insult to injury, when moving NPCs you actually grab them by where you're looking. At this point it's sabotage.
Exactly. The only thing that Skyrim got right on this point was being able to automatically place books on a shelf whereas in Oblivion you had to painstakingly put them in yourself.
@@carlosmagnomacieira8210 I don't think so, although there is a mod (Jaxonz Positioner) that allows you to move items as you'd like, but in a less direct/instinctual manner (You're using the keyboard keys to move, and rotate it).
The dragon encounters. After your victory over Alduin, I feel like the random encounters should significantly lessen, or confine the dragons to their mountain lairs so you can still get dragon bones and scales without the annoying random encounters.
also, even after literally saving the entire world, people will still act like you are no one, and i am gonna commit a sin for a lot of people but... SKYRIM MAIN STORY IS MOSTLY DOGSHIT, there are a lot of good parts to it, but most is complete trash.
I personally wouldn't mind the Dragon encounters to continue after you beat Alduin if the game took into account that you ARE the stinkin Dragon Born and 1 low level Dragon isn't much of a fight by that point. Best Dragon fight I've had was when you go into the Chantry for the first time and 2 dragons attack you together. Now that was fun and challenging at the moment.
People got really annoyed in Oblivion when you completed the main quest, because oblivion gates would stop opening. And even though they're unpleasant, they're also the only way to get sigil stones. You want those a lot. So they avoided that in Skyrim. Almost any weirdness in skyrim is a result of poor design decisions in earlier games. Like how you have to wait for a door animation every time you open one. Thats because in Oblivon you could jump from really high up and as long as you activated a door before you hit the ground you'd be safely transported into a new area.
@@joemama-bu5ue Wait it's a sin to say the main story is dogshit? I thought that was the whole meme in the community of avoiding the story because it is so bad? Like if the main story was good it wouldn't be ignored by the rest of the community on their playthroughs.
Drop items on the ground, quick save, quick load, then start arranging them. It's not foolproof but it does help get the wonky physics to settle before you get the item where you want it
@@claycollins9852 fucking literally. I remember I fast traveled to white run to talk to Adrienne Avennici (the female blacksmith at the front gates) and master vampires and cold hounds spawned and while killing them Adrienne would run in everytime and die. I literally had to re load about 8 or 9 times bc the bitch kept jumping in that damn fight lmao
I’ve played Skyrim for thousands of hours on multiple systems from the OG 360 the PS4 the PC and the Xbox one I can’t play it vanilla anymore but in my honest opinion no matter how many mods from 0-150 the game is still an absolute banger but the most needed mod definitely is the unofficial Skyrim patch just to fix many of the things Bethesda never got around too but would still pick this game up. I just started a new play through as a Nord 2H/ Heavy armor never really messed around with 2H weapons that much so even now I’m getting new experiences.
I finished an 80 hr 2H , hvy armor game. Was awesome, just hack everything up 😂 Used healing spells and shouts. It was fun and fast. Killed the Dragonborn miraak in the blink of an eye
I'm currently replaying the anniversary edition on my stream, and I've gone with an Orc two-hander. Don't recall playing orc before nor doing two-handed weapons. I tend to play a female breton mage/stealth-archer (bound bow spell), but I'm having a lot of fun with the orc. The only really issue I'm having is my dragonplate armour feels like paper in combat. A few hits with a steel axe, and I'm down 200 hp somehow despite having 64 heavy armor and all available perks, also only playing on adept difficulty instead of master/legendary like I would with breton mage.
Yesterday... well "yesterday" (you'll see) I randomly decided to stick vanilla OG Skyrim on my Steam Deck, simply to see how it ran. Like you I have played it on various hardware over the years and I was curious as to how it would run (specifically Markarth). Awhile later I realized I was getting tired. Not tired of playing the game mind you, just tired. It was then I realized just how long I had been playing. Just shy of 40 hours. Settings all maxed out (including things like view distance and whatnot), it ran fine. Average fps was somewhere in the low 50s or upper 40s and could have been improved with some tweaking to the sliders. Even Markarth only dipped it to around 30 and then only when I went out of my way to push the game engine. Generally I would say Skyrim is unplayable without mods. This video mentions 200... at my worst I had something like 700 (I got good at merging mods in order to get around that 255 limit on active mods). Or I would have until my last sleep cycle (this is the phrase I use, it is more accurate, even if it is more cumbersome). I really only intended to mess around a bit, with my only actual goal being to see how the performance was in Markarth along with performance in general. I was genuinely surprised at how engrossed I was with zero mods. fun fact: A total of around 7.8 million frames had been rendered by that point in time. (one of the performance overlays the Steam Deck can use tracks that) 24 hours @ 60fps = ~5 million frames. edit: I did a little math based on the total frames rendered and time I was playing, turns out my average fps was ~55.
While I love Blackreach as an aesthetic, and I love exploring it, it does get very very bothersome after the upteenth time going through. It’s part of why I do my best to role play whenever I play now, in the same fashion as a let’s player (as in, as a character instead of just playing) and that always makes it more interesting. I like having characters who are scared of the giant bugs, or who value sneaking past all the enemies down there over fighting or killing them. It makes it interesting to basically Dishonored my way through it by finding different ways to sneak past.
@@maximvsdread1610 I did. I didn’t find it myself tho, I watched a “10 things you probably didn’t know about blackreach video.” I thought it was a mod at first, but back then was before special edition and I was on an xbox 360 so when I replicated what the guy in the video did, I found it. And by the gods was I surprised. XD I’m hella curious about the lore implications of that, because like, what???
I personally don’t have a problem with Lydia (except her blocking entrances to everything lmao) but I hate it when I have her carry some things that I can’t and then she gets this sassy tone with me and says “I’m sworn to carry your burdens…” Like do you know who you’re taking to???
I felt that last line. That feeling of finally getting all the mods to work and then you play for like 10 mins and you stop to download more mods. The modders curse.
I've recently overcome this curse.... All you have to do, is play Oblivion or Morrowind for a bit so that when you turn on Skyrim again, your muscle memory is to just start the game and just play the in the world you've been looking forward to all day, meanwhile your mods will still be active.
This, and then you spend more hours trying to get them to work, testing your game, and then you find a better mod that's incompatible with the ones you already have installed, so rinse and repeat until you get burnt out and stop playing the game for months.
"Sometimes the enjoyment of playing a moddable game is not playing the game itself, but instead installing and trying different mods and see if they actually work on the game, only to go back and repeat the whole process" - Me, 2020, when I had enough time to try out a fuckton of weapon mods for fallout 4. Weaponsmith extended 2 gave me hell, but without it (and many other mods) the game is lifeless and devoid of emotion.
Its also really freaking frustrating when you have really good mods and you try to get more, but you completely run out of space. Yes, it's fixable, but it's still an inconvenience, especially if the mods you really like are taking up the most space.
These are all spot on ugh I love and hate modding. I'm stuck with this and Minecraft now too watching countless videos about mods that look amazing to find out they don't work for the same versions or always feeling like ur missing something just to lose interest and not touch it for months like the above comments say. 😭
„Things long-time players hate“ Me, who downloaded this game for the first time three weeks ago and already cranked 100+ hours into it: ah yes, all of these fucking things.
They missed a HUGE one on the list - NPCs with no sense of preservation! When a town loses the blacksmith to a randomly spawned dragon (or vampire with the Dawnguard DLC) it just gets even more annoying if you're trying to offload inventory items. Mind you, offloading inventory items is a pain in the 'arris in the base game too
I've definitely reached the stage where dragons are just super annoying. In one playthrough I just don't progress the main quests past getting to Whiterun and just enjoy exploring Skyrim without a dragon popping up so often 😅
Yeah, in later playthroughs I ignore the main story and design my character specifically to do the Thieves guild storyline, or to be a Werewolf, or a Vampire hunter etc. I even had an Argonian Alchemist who just picked flowers and berries, and a Khajiit who's whole purpose for existing was to marry Ysolda and settle down!
@@drewlovelyhell4892 Love doing these kinds of things! Alternate start got me roleplaying in a whole new light. Adding winter sun faiths adds to the realism a lot
I like going with an Argonian or Orc build with the animated wings mod, to make my Dragonborn a real Dragonborn (even if DnD Dragonborn don't have wings). Obviously gotta have a Khajit werewolf just because
You missed the forsworn. How do half naked barbarians (basicly) do such insane damage with basic weapons. Then you pick one up and the da,age is less than your basic steel!
@@buildawall5803 i was just kidding mate 😂 there is probably a secret skill that they have but I dont know which one. All jokes aside there is also a power to transform into a skeever although it will break your save file if you do transform into a rat
This video is just "If you are a long term player of skyrim, the ENTIRE game will annoy you". Pretty accurate ngl, and yet I come back year after year.
I think it’s more of an addiction or the thought “ oh hey it’s been a year maybe their are better mods now” then you download said mods and you are back at the stealth class character.
Idk I always liked fighting dragons. I think dragon slaying is just fun and I liked how dragons around Paarthurnax were friendly so it’s like, “you’re either with the Dragonborn or against”💪
Agree with both of you! It can be fun (as long as I'm in a practical area and not in the middle of something) but they fly way too much! Running after them, desperately watching them dodging all my arrows and shouts, is rather boring.
I started playing in 2014 or so. I agree with a few of these. The thing with the dragons I disagree though. I do agree that they are annoying at times, but that'd be like actually living as an incredible dovahkiin in a world filled with dovah that are coming back to life constantly. Of course they're gonna pop up out of no where and begin terrorizing you when you don't want. I love that, even when I'm like...dragon, go away. It's actually more annoying when the dragons run away like cowards. That happens sometimes
Yeah the dragons were sort of what they built the game off... I swear they should remake oblivision or Morrowind with the same engine so we can witness them with the engine boost
The only thing that annoys me about Dragons, is that the most common dragon is a fire dragon, and I'm like a major Vampire fan, so most of the mods I download are about Vampires, and that is including Sacrosanct, and vampires have extremely gigantic weaknesses to fire, so, a Vampire can't do much against Dragons except hide inside a house and hit the dragon with damage spells when he comes down to the ground, or just use one of your abilities to turn invisible, stealth over to it, and 1 shot it with stealth dagger power attacks.
@@TheAdypoker I see. I play with a survival mod, where I have to drink water, eat food and sleep, a couple upglow city mods, I unfortunately inhereitted my buddy's mods somehow? Extra quests that I ignore and something else idk. Also a lovely mod that makes the college magical and beautiful and more useful than vanilla. And the last mod is one that makes fights funner, enemies dodge better, etc. Immersive fights I think it's called 😁
The way the battle goes just sucks though. There's no lock on system so you waste a bunch of arrows and since the devs didn't think to add collision in combat or sound fx that that make it feel like it's there it just feels bad. The whole combat system does after a while. I love how fighting a dragon is in elden ring. They're scaled up so they look more terrifying. At least they make it feel like it matters where you hit them.
Also with the house decorating: If you are sharing a house with a Housecarl or spouse, occasionally they will pick up the item you spent so much time placing PERFECTLY, and hand it back to you >:(
I actually still love blackreach, the questline of 'Lost to the Ages' introduced me to the lore that blackreach is the origin area of Aetherium, which I find really cool. However the mods available to utilize it are rather lacking in content still.
I don't love Blackreach, but I do love the "Lost to the Ages" quest, and that reference to Aetherium being mined there. How many of those glowing rocks, that we can't dig out, are pure Aetherium?
You know you love a game a lot when even with its glaring flaws and issues, you still find it enjoyable and have fond memories. I'll keep mine short. basically Skyrim was one of the first few PC games I played, didnt even had a graphics card. Game looked like shit and ran barely at 30fps at best. Still loved it. Eventually got a GeForce 650, finally smoother running and looked better. Fast forward to now, I did a near 100% play through late last year. Had a blast, doubt I'll play it again aside from a fully modded run. Still, great game, flawed, but great none the less.
Fun idea. Jack your alchemy through the roof with fortify restoration potions and craft a paralysis potion to put in Nazim's inventory with the Poisoner's Touch perk. Get it high enough and he'll be out for years IRL.
I just soul captured his ass put it in a crappy ass dagger and hung him on the wall and ask him if he ever makes it to the Cloud District everytime I walk by...lol...
My friend did that to Heimskr. He sat down with paper, pencil, and calculator and I shit you not, the math was essentially 7 and some odd years that he was paralyzed. At last, he could walk to through the Cloud District without hearing about Talos
To add to the random dragon attacks is when all the npc's start to attack the dragon, & an npc that you need winds up dying. Also you have to be careful with your attacks on a dragon because if you accidentally hit an npc, everyone attacks you & they don't stop chasing you. Or your followers just decide to randomly start attacking you & you have no choice but to kill them.
Yes! I love the homes you can get and decorate, but setting up custom decor is a pain with the take and move system. And the stuff doesn't stay where I put it. I take forever to get my statue of Dibella to stand upright on a table, and the next morning she's on the floor. ARGH!
The horse thing... felt that in my soul. Literally playing today, I dismounted my horse to deal with something, and when I turn around, my horse has run off and got every single bandit inside a camp to come out and fight it. 🤦🏻♀️ Like what did you think you were gonna take the whole camp on by yourself????? And don't get me started on Lydia standing in the doorways 😑
Really the only thing that has ever bugged me about skyrim is how the world doesn't react to what you've done as the dragonborn or what your character is wearing. You literally saved the world from a time traveling dragon who has the ability to kill just about anything and no one cares. You also could be wearing a full set of dragon bone armor and the little children will still ask you to play tag....they would scream in terror in any other situation. Other than that all the funny bugs and stealth mechanics are great lol!
There is a mod called ai overhaul and Realistic Dialogue Overhaul that will gave the npc live like gratification trust me bro i spent nearly 10 yrs to make my modlist working fine and finally i did it now and my game became so much better.
Guards comment on your victory over Alduin but they usually do that the 1st time you approach them right after the fight. Something similar happens if you wear a full set of an armor set. It would be more immersive if other NPCs did that too
I accidentally sold my clothes when i busted out of Helgen... I heard them nag in Riverwood while i was doing random tasks .. you know.. the smithing stuff etc... I go to whiterun and .. they continue to bother me about it..m It's at that time i realized what i did... So... I eventually ran around mugging people of their clothes... Problem solved. It was not a bug but... People do notice clothing 😅
One thing you missed (that I honestly expected you to cover): when you spend ages downloading & installing mods & getting them all to work right, then going for a full playthrough, and and before you're even 1/4 the way through the game Bethesda releases the 17th game version update on Steam, breaking most of your mods and destroying your save, forcing you to either start over with a new save with only what few mods still work with the new game version, OR just wait 3 months for all your most important to get updated so they can work again, THEN start playing the game again, and for all the mods you were using that are now both broken and abandoned, HOPE you can find something else up-to-date that makes a decent replacement. Then a few months later the cycle repeats.
Blackreach is a visually stunning place, but it does become a chore to go through after a few playthroughs (and I once completed A Return To Your Root, and let me say, it’s not really worth it). However, one saving grace about this place is this really cool secret that only players who have shouted at the Artificial Sun will know about.
Quick tip for the modders out there: it's the city overhaul mod. I know you've tried rearranging. I know you've tried reinstalling. I know there's literally nothing wrong with it and all the numbers match up if you get into the nitty-gritty. I know. But it's still the city overhaul mod.
I don't know if it was mechanical, or a pure coincidence, but I never really had trouble with Lydia. Other Companions would be annoying and unreliable, but Lydia always worked great for me. After a couple months of that, I just decided she would be my one and only companion for all vanilla Skyrim for all time.
Always play without follower - I don't know how many time they stand in your way and it doesn't matter if it's Lydia or anyone else. The only helping hands I use are Atronachs
After using mods for years I eventually went back to playing vanilla Skyrim... After a while it just became about trying out mods, and not really enjoying or playing the game. So I disabled them all, and created a fresh build. I have to say, while the bugs are annoying, it's nice to go back and rediscover just why you loved the game in the first place.
The thing that always gets my blood boiling is enemies and NPC's that GLITCH OUT OF THE WAY of an arrow. As soon as I release the arrow, the enemy glitches to one side or the other and I miss. HATE that.
Archery in skyrim never appealed to me so i had no idea about the stealth archer class, never heard of it until now i feel like ive missed apart of skyrim history, i always broke the game with op glitched potions and enchanting daedric gear with ultimate chaos and health absorb
I tried it since I found the archer skill exploit on the first town and realized how op it was since bandits run around searching for me sometimes brushing me but I remain hidden in the shadowy part of a large room. The stealth mechanic is the one that needs to be nerfed
Same here. I found playing stealth archer to be the most boring playstyle ever, OP yes but Nahh. I prefer going full wizard or spellsword with mods of course
I defineitly get that the whole drauger thing can become quickly annoying and we could have probably gotten many other types of enemies in dungeons like more vampires, necromancers, and other monsters to replace them, but the reason why they are so invested is because Skyrim is based on Norse mythology or Scandanavia, and the drauger are the undead in that myth. Also, I think another thing that drives die hard Skyrim players like myself crazy is after you've played it for like the 5th time or so. You start to realize that the open world of Skyrim is actually pretty empty, and Skyrim is suppose to be one of the most ancient homelands in Tamriel, and when I think of something as ancient like that. I think of seeing ruins all over the place, ancient towers, etc. It does just feels a bit empty. I don't think Oblivion felt as empty as Skyrim does.
I love Skyrim. It’s the perfect power fantasy game for me in many many ways- but I’m going to roast it/list it’s problems. Shout out to Carter Landis for pointing out the dragon flying off to fight someone else during a fight- 1- as above, dragons blue balling us by flying away in a middle of fight. So annoying if you don’t have dragonrend yet and have to chug stamina potions just running after them. 2- lack of immersion in romance options. All the female characters have either one voice actor or another. Marriage is a dull machine like affair with some helpful bonuses but overall non existent or impactful to the story. I’ve installed and played other rpgs like Witcher and dragon age inquisition just for half the feeling I want to experience romancing a badass female character in a fantasy setting. No sex, no romance scenes, nothing. You wear a piece of jewellery, go up to a generic female npc companion, say let’s get married and boom, done. No complication or epic quests or anything remotely interesting undertaken in the romance whatsoever. And you can’t romance the best/most attractive characters like Karliah and Brynjolf, or Serana or Freya from the dlc either: 3. Lack of completion in main/important quests/main campaign storyline is too damn short. No resolution to the paathurnax dilemma unless you install mods. 4.faction quests just become bounty hunter guilds once you finish their main stories. 5. No real consequences/immersion for the civil war. No epic battles ravaging the country of Skyrim and posing a real threat to everyone and the environment unless you intervene and stop it. 6. Dragon fights become boring and receptive quickly. Melee combat itself is repetitive and the same with no features like form training or styles to change things up. Can’t block while dual wielding. No spears. 7. Rag doll effects and it’s unpredictably, and how shoddy the physics engine is sometimes. 8. Lack of agility or skill in character movement. You can’t fly, flip or jump high or smash through doors like the super powered Demi god you’re apparently supposed to be. No real long term benefits to being the Dragonborn like enchanted skill trees or upgrades other than the ability to shout at dragons and ragdoll your enemies and that’s it. 9. I hate the dwarf dungeons too. Enemies and design is just so bland and repetitive and dull and just all the same and too much of a chore to get through. Falmer and cave aesthetics aren’t scary enough. Would love a more darkness filled Moria esque feel to exploring caves set under a fantasy Nordic landscape. That’s about all I can think of.
Can we get a dishonorable mention for the faction quests? For me at least, they were bland and uninspired and felt more like a chore than anything else.
@@naomidraws9620 ikr. Skyrim doesn't actually have all that many choices, really. you can't even choose *not* to sacrifice that priest if you ever want to finish the quest. you can't even choose to actually join the forsworn.
@@jenrosejenrose7417 what are you even carrying around at that point? Even when I was constantly changing my weight limit cause wanted all the epic things on me, I didn't break 10k
I love playing the game unmodded. I've never had an issue with bugs aside getting stuck in weird pockets in the mountains. The only thing I do wish the original had was a good glider or the ability to actually control the dragons in flight
When they released the dawnguard dlc a mod called "when vampires attack" became a necessity to keep NPCs from killing themselves. Bethesda eventually make a fix to this themselves...but it took years. Basically the game treated vampires attacking the city like the player character and every NPC would start attacking them, constantly getting quest NPCs killed
Been Playing since release, and I use to play on console only (pc only now) but I remember the days of playing this on PS3, and it was and still is a glitch fest. It took them a few months to patch out the bug that made the ps3 freeze completely if you touched water in the game. Walking through a river, swimming underwater, etc any of it would make you have to turn the ps3 off then back on. This was one example of all the pain of the bugs. Thankfully almost 0 bugs on PC now lol
The last point about feeling accomplished because you finally made all of your mods work together, playing for 10 minutes, then downloading more mods literally made me laugh out loud... been there so many times.
Now you know. Always download ALL the mods you are going to use first. Never add or remove mods during a playthrough UNLESS you know EXACTLY what you are doing and WHY you are doing it.
Thank you it was a pain . There is some Quest that only unlock at lvl 100 of a skill like a 100 Restoration one with the mage guild . 100% the game was really fun .
I had them all complete except The vampire one from dawnguard. Then i downloaded the 10 yr and had them all reset. So i finished the dawnguard onw first.
Well, magic is a valid choice too and you can get crazy OP doing that. For a hack n slash game though, melee combat is terrible. It’s the worst way to play the game.
@@adamwest8711 i actually LIKE to use melee. it actually helps to us the third-person view. ps: i like one-handed+shield style, the Block perks are VERY useful. especially the one that makes you take half damage from fire or ice!
Another thing with the stealth archer, there's a combination of perks you can get while being a vampire that makes it so you can literally freeze time while you snipe people
I still love the original un modded game because I just love the story period. The mods are good to play after you finish the main story. Only then so u have more understanding of what’s going on.
I don't really hate the dragur tombs, but there a few I tend to avoid more than most. Which are the ones that have a dragon priest for a boss. I try to avoid those early in the game. One thing I like do while fighting through dragur tombs. Is try to imagine what the place looked like, back in its glory days.
I'm actually fine with drauger tombs. I enjoy playing characters with a burning hatred for the undead, going into tomb after tomb to re-dead-ify those undead. I like the Dawnguard by extension.
I made a total Peace character, and a totally Evil character to gain some flavor before I got into the mods. The mods add hours of new, fresh experiences that reinvigorates my Joy for the game! THANK YOU MODDERS. ❤️
I recommend the mod "to your face". NPCs will not talk to you unless you are looking at them, so they are not gonna see that you are talking to someone else and randomly throw a useless line.
Now that you mention it, this is truly an annoyance, it could have been in this video! In a similar fashion, I hate when NPCs are having a conversation I'm supposed to eavesdrop to launch a quest BUT I'm already talking with another NPC... The quest will work anyway but roleplaywise it sucks... Too bad I can't have mod but that's good to know! ^^
@@agnesleuenberger3713 There is the mode "your choice" tgat makes it so quest dont start unless you want to. For example if you enter the reach, you are aproached to meet the guy in the temple, but the quest does nto start unless you actually go to the temple to talk to him. So basically there will be no new quest in the log unless you actually want to make the quest.
@@juanfisi I'd really love to have it, especially since I dislike cluttered quests list. Easy to forget what happened in a quest when there are so many of them... ^^' But unfortunately I play on Switch, so no mod for me... When I'll have a PC powerful enough, I'll think about it though! ^^ Thank you!
@Justice Oh, I remember doing that one brotherhood of steel mission in new vegas where you're supposed to delete a virus from a bunch of terminals. A guy is supposed to tell you when the virus jumps and you have 30 seconds to a minute to find every terminal with a virus on it. There were people going by at the time and they start talking all the time, either to me or veronica's in background like "Oh, haven't seen you in a while" to every single person. I couldn't hear when the virus jumped so I was eventually forced to make a save at a point where I knew the virus would jump a second or two after the save was made, because otherwise I wouldn't know.
The dark brotherhood has a really broken armor piece that doubles damage during stealth turning the 15x stealth bonus with daggers into 30x bonus which makes it so that you can one shot almost anything
Do the potions loop. Everything can be ultra god like if need be. I can one shot anything whenever I want even on Legendary difficult. I can NOT die even if I wanted to lol. I have tried. Even without using or wearing rings, necklaces, potions or armor or anything at all my health and stamina ate stuck in the 9,000,000 rang. Also in werewolf mode I can not die either. The infinite health and stamina wasn't planned though but comes in handy.
I dont find that to be broken. The dev's could have just made it be that if that armor piece is equipped, all fight encounters just an equivalent buff.
My most hated thing about skyrim is that I skipped all Skyrim hype 10yrs ago bc of all bugs talk and my friends and me were all in fps at that time. I started playing month ago, full ten yrs later and it's amazing even without mods. And all that bugs talk I see more as a beautiful mess.
literally the bugs were NO WHERE near as bad unless you were on ps3. like yeah on 360 there were a few but post 2016 their rare and youll play skyrim alot more than most games so the percentage of coming across a bug only increases
@@sillyninja65 The only legitimate problem I had bug-wise on 360 was the one where you go the Imperial route in the civil war and it breaks the forsworn quest because the guards aren't the same. Other than that, nothing glaring comes to mind. Most of them would either have been comedic or a simple reload away from being fixed, so it honestly wasn't that bad. I couldn't name anything else specific that happened. At the end of the save, when I had basically already done everything major I was going to do I did end up breaking the stability of the game using the fortify-restoration glitch to OP my stats - but that was very obviously my fault.
I tried so many times to enjoy this game, and the Bethesda gameplay just destroys it for me. I can’t stand smashing an enemy in the face 40 times with a sword and them having no discernible reaction beyond continuing to run directly into my face. Ugggh. Especially considering how often you find yourself in close quarters combat in a dungeon.
It would be cool if the dragons spoke to you as you fought them...doing the philosophy battles like Parthuunax said or halfway through they had a small chance to shout and summon another dragon that could heal them and then you would have to fight two at the same time
As someone who's favorite play style involves running head first into battle, trying my first stealth archer playthrough sure has been a stressful experience
I'm a beserker type also but the only type of playstyle I really have trouble with is the weapon and shield type no matter what game I play weapon and shield well that and pacifist characters are my nightmare the reason I have problems with archery is my depth perception isn't that great lol
This video takes me back to the beautiful memories of 2011. It was an amazing year for gaming and my favorite one in the last decade. We had so many amazing experiences with Skyrim, Uncharted 3, Batman AC, Dark Souls 2, Crisis 2, Dead Space 3 and more.
I don’t know why but uncharted 3 and 4 were somewhat disappointing after uncharted 2 which is my favorite of the series and in my top 5 games for sure.
Number 7 is so true. I built a manor with an armory and i wanted to display my daedric artifacts and everytime i went out on an adventure and came back after, all the items were on the floor
If anyone is wondering about the dragon in Blackreach you use your Unrelenting Force shout at the orange sun ball near the Debate Hall and it'll show up.
I got so sick of fighting endless waves of draugr and Falmer that I started just ignoring them and running straight past. And I resorted to using a cheat to make my dog immortal because the idiot kept running in front of me during fights so I'd end up accidentally killing him. (Also I need to try that dragon wings mod right now because hell yeah!).
Mods are pretty awesome. I started having problems around the 800 mod mark though, not the 200 mods mentioned in the video. Mods have their ups and downs. my current load order let’s me start the game in any city, but also has Dragons flying around and attacking me at level 1.
I HATE the Falmer and Chourus bugs!! Not a fan of the Dwemer locations either. Neither are difficult for me and my two Dremora Lords, but I still hate both of them.
Yeah I actually felt like jumping in and playing Skyrim again just yesterday. Then I remembered how much of a pain modding is (keeping track of which mods you have downloaded, which mods are in need of an update, which mods are no longer available, which mods have been replaced by other mods, which mods need other mods in order for them to work properly, which mods have other special requirements such as editing the .ini files, etc.) and decided against it. I literally don't have enough time for it anymore.
@@FluffySylveonBoi probably referring to the modders that use titty mods instead of PH 🤣 Modders that actually fix and enhance the game are alpha chads.
The one thing I hate about Skyrim is when you're trying to make sure that no civilians die and yet somehow they end up dying anyways a prime example of this is one of the Farmers near whiterun ended up dying after I defended whiterun from the stormcloaks, the pelagia guy, i was devastated because i liked him as a friend to sell crops to
I remember this one time when I went to Riverwood for some ingots from Alvor, then outta nowhere a dragon attacks and kills Alvor. I always hated that because I liked Alvor, he was a cool dude
Gotta get that “mind your business” mod. No joke. There’s mods that increase the AI of civilians and remind them that they are PEASANTS and that they should RUN from the dragon/bandits/vampires.
To add to the Nazeem hate: I was chopping wood outside the Bannered Mare yesterday and heard him taking shit to all the vendors in Whiterun. Telling Carlotta and Anoriath that their products are subpar and not fresh. I like Anoriath's response though because he basically tells Nazeem that if he wants meat that's more fresh, he can go hunting himself and that the "Whiterun gates are right over there, the forest is just beyond the walls of the city, hard to miss."
my #1 gripe since I always play warriors is this. During the companions quest when they identify Farkas, he wears that armor. And dude is in generic steel plate. Farkas needs to be in Wolf Armor since 2011.
I love being an archer in Skyrim because aside from being overpowered and being able to one shot most enemies and bosses, you can literally carry an infinite number of arrows since most arrow types have no mass to them (according to Skyrim logic), I basically picked up every single arrow in my first playthrough in all of skyrim and never had to look for any ammo ever again
I hated dealing with random dragon spawns while exploring so much that now when I start I new play through I never go to fight the first dragon that the jarl of whiterun tells you to fight. No dragons will spawn ever but you can't use shouts.
They should have done dragons like they did in dragonage. Optional, unique boss fights in hidden areas maybe with a quest attached. Like each hold could have had one or two named dragons with lore attached and special dialogue. And rebuilding the blades and the parthanax dilemma could have been a key point to several dragon fights. The souls gathered could have been special shouts...I could go on and on
I've played Skyrim since it first came out and still actively play it. One my my biggest annoyances is and has been, how people still talk to you like you're lower than them after completing the main quest line. Like sure, you don't know of me or my accomplishments so far, why should you? But after defeating Alduin and literally saving Skyrim? Eh, yeah. You should know who I am by now. This is especially annoying with the guards. They acknowledge every one of my other accomplishments, except the fact that I literally saved the world. No, guard. You're not the Dragonborn. I LITERALLY ATE ALDUINS SOUL. Lmao
I agree with you although the guards do acknowledge you saving Skyrim and everyone if you hold off on fighting the civil war until after you beat the main storyline. There's a quest that you complete if you don't do the civil war quests that enables you to forge a temporary truce between the empire and stormcloaks which is a bit tricky to complete in a way where the terms of the truce are equally fair for both factions but it's well worth the effort. Having the amulet you get for becoming the guild master of the thieves guild in riften helps but I highly recommend saving so you can revert until the empire and stormcloaks both agree the terms of the truce are fair. I forget the name of the quest but I know it is triggered after accompanying Delphine and Esbern to Skyhaven temple. Once you do that you'll have to go talk to the Jarl of Whiterun and he should tell you that he won't aid you to trap Odaviin unless a temporary truce is agreed upon.
@@mcplayer6456 if you'd like to know how to get the guards in Skyrim to acknowledge your achievement of defeating Alduin I have posted a reply to Black Cat's comment on this or feel free to msg me directly and I'll explain how to do so.
The funniest thing about the stealth archer build is that at 100 Sneak, you could be taking out a group of enemies from five feet away- and each NPC, at the sight of their friends and cohorts falling dead in front of them, will still carry on like traffic to Whiterun is their biggest worry.
You can literally be crouched and having an enemy walking into you and they won’t notice you.
When I did stealth archer playthroughs, I'd always go for that ebony chestplate daedric artifact that made you invisible when you sneak, so I didn't really even need sneak 100 to rip apart a totally oblivious group of foes! Very powerful stuff and my go to item when I do any sort of stealth.
You're only just beginning to understand this AI.
You are not wrong. I discovered things you could not even imagine. I wish there was a server I could share.
Sorcerer Mastery is the best easiest way to defeat everythings in Skyrim.Especially since I found a way for spells to take nothing away from magica.
Try playing as a Vampire Lord with Illusion and sneak maxed out! Get some hilariously funny shit to go down!
Honestly, I found myself most annoyed at the Falmer, Chaurus, and Dwemer ruins.
Which are "luckily" very likely to turn up as a 3-way combo!
Fr they would take a week to get through smh
Chaurus are the worst. 😠
The dwemer enslaved the falmer and the falmer farm chaurus so it makes sense they show up together. I love the dwemer layouts aside from black reach but I also only play modded at this point so its all fixed for me
I literally just went through the one for spellbreaker and I can't even explain how bored I was
chaurus is like very big cockroach
After 4 I felt the need to share my experience with companions. It was either farkas or vilkas I had as one, and one day they disappeared, no where to be seen. Game wouldn’t let me replace him because it registered he was still with me. Years later I’m still playing, deep in a cave, when that dude comes booking it full speed at me in a cave at 2am. I was traumatized and confused
He found his way home
Bro was waiting for you too come back for em 😭
Lmao
He's probably spent the last few years chasing you all over Skyrim trying to catch up with you!
Found my wife Aela gliding halfway into the ground naked after I shouted her off the Throat of the World 3 months prior. (She died).
My favorite part of Skyrim is spending half an hour particularly and tentatively placing my bugs in jars on the small tables of my indoor garden, just to come back a day later and find everything I meticulously placed on the floor.
Fuckkkkk man I felt this.
I gave up after the second attempt. I felt like it was a waste of time and I gave up any hope of customization in my player homes.
@@koreseph3874usually after the second time it should stay but it depends on where it’s placed, it’s annoying
@@jacobbullington1299 maybe it's just me and my luck. Or maybe its because I stopped trying at the first house in white run. I just leave it as is now. Or did, I can't play rn. Lol
I designate chests, wardrobes, drawers and cabinets for storage now.....
For me it was the dwemer tombs and fighting all those falmers and stuff. It just took too long to complete, in my opinion and it got really repetitive.
Yes
Dwemer tombs make my soul hurt.
Learning the lore behind them makes them a lot more interesting, I was on the same boat until I learned everything about it all
Man I fucking hate dwemer tombs! They take so long, falmer do like 9000 damage and there are just so many of them. Vampire dungeons rule.
@@Goob2003 no, they still suck and are so annoying to go through😭
At some point the dragon encounters are less "oh shit what am I gonna do?" and more "Damn it now I can't fast travel to Whiterun."
For the few of us who play in Survival Mode: *visible confusion*
Laughs in restoration loop and one shot god weapon specifically for dragons

How Nazeem was never a Dark Brotherhood contract is beyond me.
Most people probably think he's pretty pathetic and not even worth giving the time of day, let alone worth getting involved with the DB. I mean he talks a big game, but he literally never goes to the Cloud District himself.
He actually is, the game just didn't recognize it and the reward is gratification 🤣
@Nick tbf he does he's there loads funny thing is he asked me I'd I get to cloud district often while we were in the cloud district while I was thane...
I’ve played since 2012, and I finally had enough of Nazeem. Contract or no, I waited for him to go to sleep and gave him a poisoned apple in a reverse pickpocket. I watched from the corner as the poison did it’s work. No murder in my crime stats, therefore no bounty. And, best of all no more Nazeem.
Would've rather taken him as a Contract than the poor Khajiit Caravan member.
Another annoying thing about fighting dragons is that they'll just randomly fly off to fight something else.
I cannot count how many times I've been fighting a dragon, only for it to fly 30 feet away to fight a wolf or some other enemy.
I once had a dragon take a time out from our battle to dispose of a couple mud crabs. I guess he thought they were the bigger threat. 🤣
Brooo when you fast travel to winter hold and the dragon goes like 100 feet to the south
Dragonrend!
Like stop panicking everyone, causing music, and preventing me from doing things and face me or f off
I've seen a dragon or two go off to fight a Giant. The dragons lost
I’m the opposite with stealth archer. I’m like,” ok I’m gonna do stealth!” *sees any type of two handed weapons*”DONT YOU TEMP ME!”*gives in and then just runs through everything*
Me: spawns two Dremoras and I sit back and watch the action
Have you tried stealth two handed weapon? my first skyrim character had 50 in stealth and would bash skulls in from the shadows while wearing daedric armor
@@mbentley6 don’t like stealth unless I have to. I prefer to let people know who crushed them.
Magic is irresistible to me lol
I know what ya mean
When I first got the Bloodscal blade I was hooked for the longest time to that weapon.
i once had a bug where farkas kept autonomously running up to me and initiating conversation with a weapon drawn. he wasn't my follower, either-i'd barely even looked at jorrvaskr the whole playthrough, but he just. kept. hounding me.
i tried fast traveling to get away. he followed. i tried riding a horse all the way to solitude in the hope that he'd lose interest after i was far enough away. nearly an hour later, and halfway through potema's catacombs, the clank of steel footsteps approaches behind me.
i try fus-ro-dah-ing him of the throat of the world. i try beating the companions quest to get him as a legitimate follower. i try luring him into a dragon's lair and hoping he doesn't leave.
and every time. every single time, sometimes _mid-combat,_ he runs up to me, grabs his stupid steel greatsword, pulls me into conversation, and says, "some people don't think i'm smart. those people get my fist. but you, i like."
eventually, i turn to the internet. surely, surely someone out there must have heard of this before, right? there must be a fix, this game has been out for years! and then, there, on his wiki page, i see it. while not recognized as one in the game, he's got some guard ai. if a player has a high enough bounty, regardless of which hold, those lines of code will demand he make an arrest. he's not a guard. he can't make an arrest. there are several suggested fixes. resetting his ai doesn't work. resetting his entire character entity doesn't work. the only remaining suggestion is to pay off your bounty. i look miserably upon my crime statistics.
i have only one outstanding bounty. 8000 gold, in the reach. i earned it from beginning the forsworn conspiracy questline. i ran away when they tried to arrest me. hours ago, a bounty hunter approached me and demanded i pay, either in coin, or in blood. i chose coin. he walked back to markarth. out of paranoia, i followed. he entered the city. i waited, hiding, for fifteen real-life minutes. long enough, surely, for the npc to deliver my payment. i resumed gameplay as usual. several in-game days have passed.
i still have an 8000 gold bounty. farkas will not stop following me until i have paid it off. i cannot pay it off without continuing the forsworn conspiracy quest. i cannot continue the forsworn conspiracy quest with him following me. i do not _want_ to continue the forsworn conspiracy quest. i reload an old save and spend the rest of the playthrough avoiding whiterun like the plague, but still, still i can hear his voice. mocking me. taunting me. saying, "but you, i like."
and that's why i can't look at farkas without seeing tamriel's most dedicated stalker, thanks for coming to my ted talk
omg that was so funny to read thank you 😂 that sounds hilarious
Farkus is my favorite but that is annoying tho, feel ya.
shrine of boethiah can fix that one
lol hilarious thanks for the read !
this happened to my brother as well, and he was wearing an amulet of Mara so Farkas would keep coming up and asking about it, it became a huge inside joke that we still laugh at 10 years later
Special mention: Delphine demanding you kill Paarthurnax. She was fine until then, and Esbern seemed pretty cool, but the fact that I can't make peace between them and Paarthurnax...not even after defeating Alduin--wtf?
There’s a mod called Paarthunax’s dilemma which adds a quest to solve that
@@joaquinvargas5094 is it on ps4 or just pc?
@@Jman-te4fc it’s on console as well
Except the mod there is also the option of just ignoring the quest. Then Parthunaax is will live and you will get a special cutscene at the end of the game.
@@Jman-te4fc pretty sure it's available for ps4 but idk ps4 mods suck
I always thought the cloud district was way off in one of the big cities. When I found out it was just the upper part of Whiterun it made hearing that line some much more annoying.
Also, I spent so much time underground at one point that I couldn't stand being underground, I didn't do any quests that wanted me to go into caves. I had gotten so sick of it I wouldn't even mine in Minecraft.
agreed, for a long time i thought he was talking about some special section of another city.
@@baneblackguard584 Yeah lol
It got to a point where I do one dungeon mission then every other mission available before doing the next dungeon, and I now avoid dwemer ruins like the plague
@@johnmoon4743 Yeah it sucked being inside anything for me, dwemer ruins were very much a no go
Especially ps4 vanilla VR
I hate dwarven ruins far more, atleast the draugr ones are straight forward and give you good loot and infinite ebony stuff to sell, the dwarven ones are convoluted, have awful and heavy loot. Entering them is as much of a pain as it is getting out.
Nothing beats accidentally walking into Blackreach -_-
I remember exploring Blackreach the first time,I totally regretted it once the Dwarven Machine and Bug creatures I forgot the name of but I can't stand them at all!
Dwarven ruins don’t suck as long as you have a donkey/pack mule follower. I partner with Vigilance and Mjoll and because of the bugs, I can come out with TONS of loot to sell.
You're not wrong.
Thank you. I blieve dwarven ruins are the most hated thing by the community. Its surprising how Falcon hates draugr ruins more.
The most annoying thing about placing objects is that most things like potion bottles or bowls are picked up from the bottom, so they'll always be upside down when you lift them.
Another thing: even if you manage to get an object where you want it, there's a fair chance it will be on the floor if you leave the house and come back.
If only they had thought to put in some kind of rotate function.
@@mkm7251 tbf they did add one for fallout 4, so hopefully it shouldn't be an issue in Starfield either. Still doesn't fix Skyrim, but I'm sure there's a mod to do that.
I get why it's that way, tho. It's a 3D thing, with the point of origin and all, but... Still a pain in the ass to move them while in game.
Try putting the white phial somewhere it won’t be displaced from when you next return
Other than being long and sometimes annoying battles, dragons instead of being tough are super easy, I'm scared of bears, trolls and saber tigers, but not dragons. You hear that "danger, epic battle incoming" music, then "Ah, it's ok, it's just a dragon..."
i’d agree with this but only after you acquire dragonrend and/or dragonbane, i also play on master though so dragons are usually pretty tough
Exactly. I’ll run from a saber tiger early on in a new playthrough. But dragons aren’t a problem.
Deadly Dragons mod and being level 5 when a dragon pops up really changes that lol
play the game on legendary and let’s see if you still think that 💀
Everything is easy if you don’t Play on legendary
Dude Im so glad you added how heavy dragon scales and bones are. I thought I was going crazy thinking how much I had to sell them or just not pick up the drops 😂
This.
I rarely ever go for dragon plate armor, it's always daedric or, since I always boost my smithing, alchemy and enchanting, i take the armor that is most aesthetically pleasing at the time and boost it to 500 armor rating (cap is somewhere around 485, or something like that, it gives you 80% damage reduction, anything over 500 is useless as it doesn't go over 80% cap).
Dragon bones and scales are just a bitch to carry. For a complete armor set + weapon and shield (if you decide on one) it needs a lot of em.
Same goes for dwarven armor. The raw material for it is just way too heavy. Although you can always buy the ingots so it's not so much of a hassle.
@@CRO_Bash95 You actually need 667 to hit the cap. Each piece of armor has a 25 point hidden bonus, so with four pieces you need a displayed rating of 567. If you don't like helmets so only have 3 pieces, you need a displayed rating of 592. With a full set of armor and shield, you need 542 displayed.
Literally THE first mod I used in Skyrim was to reduce the weight of bone and scales
Can't play Skyrim anymore without a weight mod tbh^^
I love Bleak falls Barrow, after killing the bandit stuck in the web and getting the gold dragon claw, I get perverse enjoyment luring draugers into stepping on the trap that activates the swinging gate and sends them flying.
Those traps are so fun :D And they're not just in Bleak Falls Barrow, too.
(Also, has there ever been a location as iconic as Bleak Falls Barrow? Everyone knows Bleak Falls Barrow)
Those traps are honestly the best in the game. There have been times where they genuinely scare the shit out of me, and they're so fun to mess with. All the floor traps are boring garbage purely designed to slow you down. Nobody likes the fire jets, nobody likes the spears, they just suck. The wall axes? Maybe the first few times it can be a cool Indiana Jones type thing. But the gates? Love them
@@Bubbly_Dragon The gates are great because we haven't seen them before :D Love them. Big fan
Nazeem: "Do you get to the cloud district very often?" Me: "Yes every bloody time im in Whiterun. Since its the only ffin place that has a ffin enchanters table.

NOOOOO your friggin pathfiding does NOT include the cloud district and thus you never ever set one foot up that stupid stairs, so stuff it and never ask me those stupid questions again"...

Pro-tip for anyone who has grown to hate Dragons:
If you never get the Dragonstone from BFB and advance the MSQ, you won't ever see dragons. This of course also means no shouts, but a small price to pay if you want to play the rest of the game without them.
I tried that before,but you can’t do the civil war quest if you don’t get the stone

I actually like draugr tombs than dwarven ruins, at least the draugr tombs are straightforward and these are often the ones that contain word walls.
Dwarven ruins however, have these convoluted pathways, traps, heavy loot, and it feels less satisfying slicing at metal than draugr flesh, basically it feels more like a yawn to go through dwarven ruins, unless they have quests related to them, I don't bother with them.
exactlyyyy I'm fine with dragur tombs, I dispise going into Dwarven ruins
I like dwarven tombs
-dwarven gang
@George Johnson That’s what makes them good tho?? You’re literally saying you don’t like them because they are a bit challenging?
Love Dwarven ruins. Like the aura more and they’re actually scary and feel quite difficult sometimes, especially with Falmers inside aswell
I like Nordic tombs and ruins over Dwemer any day. It's not the complexity that bugs me though. It's the never-ending sounds of the steam machinery combined with the size. Either on their own wouldn't be bad, but both? Not my thing.
I think my biggest gripe is physics. I wish you could climb everything like in assassins creed instead of hopping like a robot
There's a mod called EVG Animated Traversal which adds points in places which use special animations in order to move around in different ways. It's no way near Assassin's Creed level though, more like Tomb Raider lite
AC-like traversal has nothing to do with physics, it's gameplay mechanics. Skyrim has janky physics but nothing too bad. Better than Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk for sure.
Do you not know when this game was originally released?
Someone can't make a mod to do that?
@@luxmcinnes6319 nice... im old school lol.. we didn't have mods back then just game game shark and game genie lol time to adapt awesomeness
There is a conjurer named Lu'ah Al-Skaven located in Ansilvund that could have created a 3rd option for the civil war. She was raising an army of draugr to fight in the war to get revenge for her husband etc. This could have been great option.
Woah that would be brilliant
Imagine calmer created an army led by like a massive chaurus,but the chaurus was a boat with cannons,ok I’m getting hazey here but hear me out

The Falmer seemed like an afterthought which got shoehorned into the Dawnguard quest line. I would have liked more about them. Having them wage war with their bugs for flying units would be cool.
Maybe because I like underdogs, I like the idea of their subterranean world, and my family has albinism, I find the Falmer really cool.

Additionally, with the dragon fights. They will fight and focus on anything but you in an area so if there is a dear or wolf spawned somewhere, it will fight those first even though it started the fight with you to begin with. You end up chasing it around for hours.
Yes! Those dragons have some serious ADHD until you get Dragonrend and can keep them on the ground. Even then they sometimes do stupid stuff like landing on the other side of a mountain range from you.
It can be nice if you’re still a bit weaker. In the beginning, it’s really nice to have a dragon get distracted, but it’s brutal once you’re high level.

One of the biggest things in Skyrim that annoys the hell outta me, is that when building lakeview manor you can't build every thing.
You can't build both childrens bedrooms and an enchanters tower, and you cant build both an armory and an alchemy workshop.

@@john_kramer516 which is very easy to make millions of it.
About number 7, it's especially enraging when you've played previous Elder Scrolls:
-In Oblivion, grabbing an object grabs it by the targeted vertex, the very point you're looking at. This allows for fine control and putting things upright.
-In Skyrim, you're ALWAYS picking it up by the _center base_ of the object. Hence why the objects always flip over, how you can't just pull it an inch to the side, etc... To add insult to injury, when moving NPCs you actually grab them by where you're looking. At this point it's sabotage.
Exactly. The only thing that Skyrim got right on this point was being able to automatically place books on a shelf whereas in Oblivion you had to painstakingly put them in yourself.
is there a mod for that?
@@carlosmagnomacieira8210 I don't think so, although there is a mod (Jaxonz Positioner) that allows you to move items as you'd like, but in a less direct/instinctual manner (You're using the keyboard keys to move, and rotate it).
The dragon encounters. After your victory over Alduin, I feel like the random encounters should significantly lessen, or confine the dragons to their mountain lairs so you can still get dragon bones and scales without the annoying random encounters.
also, even after literally saving the entire world, people will still act like you are no one, and i am gonna commit a sin for a lot of people but... SKYRIM MAIN STORY IS MOSTLY DOGSHIT, there are a lot of good parts to it, but most is complete trash.
there is something to be desired... its kind of short and a lot of it is just fetching stuff....
I personally wouldn't mind the Dragon encounters to continue after you beat Alduin if the game took into account that you ARE the stinkin Dragon Born and 1 low level Dragon isn't much of a fight by that point. Best Dragon fight I've had was when you go into the Chantry for the first time and 2 dragons attack you together. Now that was fun and challenging at the moment.
People got really annoyed in Oblivion when you completed the main quest, because oblivion gates would stop opening. And even though they're unpleasant, they're also the only way to get sigil stones. You want those a lot. So they avoided that in Skyrim. Almost any weirdness in skyrim is a result of poor design decisions in earlier games. Like how you have to wait for a door animation every time you open one. Thats because in Oblivon you could jump from really high up and as long as you activated a door before you hit the ground you'd be safely transported into a new area.
@@joemama-bu5ue Wait it's a sin to say the main story is dogshit? I thought that was the whole meme in the community of avoiding the story because it is so bad? Like if the main story was good it wouldn't be ignored by the rest of the community on their playthroughs.
The thing that kills me every time I try decorating is when the house re loads and the placed shit flies everywhere😭

One thing I do hate is that fast traveling triggering hostile encounters. So many NPCs lost to dragons in open towns.
funny thing is its because of their own stupidity to fight the dragon with their fist, lmao

That and the vampires in towns when you're at that part of the Dawnguard quest. Nothing more frustrating than losing vendors to those bastards.
@@claycollins9852 fucking literally. I remember I fast traveled to white run to talk to Adrienne Avennici (the female blacksmith at the front gates) and master vampires and cold hounds spawned and while killing them Adrienne would run in everytime and die.

That is when it is acceptable to open up console and bring them back.
I’ve played Skyrim for thousands of hours on multiple systems from the OG 360 the PS4 the PC and the Xbox one I can’t play it vanilla anymore but in my honest opinion no matter how many mods from 0-150 the game is still an absolute banger but the most needed mod definitely is the unofficial Skyrim patch just to fix many of the things Bethesda never got around too but would still pick this game up. I just started a new play through as a Nord 2H/ Heavy armor never really messed around with 2H weapons that much so even now I’m getting new experiences.
you enjoying the two handed play through?
I finished an 80 hr 2H , hvy armor game. Was awesome, just hack everything up 😂
Used healing spells and shouts.
It was fun and fast. Killed the Dragonborn miraak in the blink of an eye
I'm currently replaying the anniversary edition on my stream, and I've gone with an Orc two-hander. Don't recall playing orc before nor doing two-handed weapons. I tend to play a female breton mage/stealth-archer (bound bow spell), but I'm having a lot of fun with the orc. The only really issue I'm having is my dragonplate armour feels like paper in combat. A few hits with a steel axe, and I'm down 200 hp somehow despite having 64 heavy armor and all available perks, also only playing on adept difficulty instead of master/legendary like I would with breton mage.

Yesterday... well "yesterday" (you'll see) I randomly decided to stick vanilla OG Skyrim on my Steam Deck, simply to see how it ran. Like you I have played it on various hardware over the years and I was curious as to how it would run (specifically Markarth). Awhile later I realized I was getting tired. Not tired of playing the game mind you, just tired. It was then I realized just how long I had been playing. Just shy of 40 hours.
Settings all maxed out (including things like view distance and whatnot), it ran fine. Average fps was somewhere in the low 50s or upper 40s and could have been improved with some tweaking to the sliders. Even Markarth only dipped it to around 30 and then only when I went out of my way to push the game engine.
Generally I would say Skyrim is unplayable without mods. This video mentions 200... at my worst I had something like 700 (I got good at merging mods in order to get around that 255 limit on active mods). Or I would have until my last sleep cycle (this is the phrase I use, it is more accurate, even if it is more cumbersome). I really only intended to mess around a bit, with my only actual goal being to see how the performance was in Markarth along with performance in general. I was genuinely surprised at how engrossed I was with zero mods.
fun fact: A total of around 7.8 million frames had been rendered by that point in time. (one of the performance overlays the Steam Deck can use tracks that) 24 hours @ 60fps = ~5 million frames.
edit: I did a little math based on the total frames rendered and time I was playing, turns out my average fps was ~55.

While I love Blackreach as an aesthetic, and I love exploring it, it does get very very bothersome after the upteenth time going through. It’s part of why I do my best to role play whenever I play now, in the same fashion as a let’s player (as in, as a character instead of just playing) and that always makes it more interesting. I like having characters who are scared of the giant bugs, or who value sneaking past all the enemies down there over fighting or killing them. It makes it interesting to basically Dishonored my way through it by finding different ways to sneak past.

@@maximvsdread1610 I did. I didn’t find it myself tho, I watched a “10 things you probably didn’t know about blackreach video.” I thought it was a mod at first, but back then was before special edition and I was on an xbox 360 so when I replicated what the guy in the video did, I found it.

I felt that last line. That feeling of finally getting all the mods to work and then you play for like 10 mins and you stop to download more mods. The modders curse.
I've recently overcome this curse....
All you have to do, is play Oblivion or Morrowind for a bit so that when you turn on Skyrim again, your muscle memory is to just start the game and just play the in the world you've been looking forward to all day, meanwhile your mods will still be active.
This, and then you spend more hours trying to get them to work, testing your game, and then you find a better mod that's incompatible with the ones you already have installed, so rinse and repeat until you get burnt out and stop playing the game for months.
"Sometimes the enjoyment of playing a moddable game is not playing the game itself, but instead installing and trying different mods and see if they actually work on the game, only to go back and repeat the whole process" - Me, 2020, when I had enough time to try out a fuckton of weapon mods for fallout 4.
Weaponsmith extended 2 gave me hell, but without it (and many other mods) the game is lifeless and devoid of emotion.
Its also really freaking frustrating when you have really good mods and you try to get more, but you completely run out of space. Yes, it's fixable, but it's still an inconvenience, especially if the mods you really like are taking up the most space.
These are all spot on ugh I love and hate modding. I'm stuck with this and Minecraft now too watching countless videos about mods that look amazing to find out they don't work for the same versions or always feeling like ur missing something just to lose interest and not touch it for months like the above comments say. 😭

They missed a HUGE one on the list - NPCs with no sense of preservation! When a town loses the blacksmith to a randomly spawned dragon (or vampire with the Dawnguard DLC) it just gets even more annoying if you're trying to offload inventory items. Mind you, offloading inventory items is a pain in the 'arris in the base game too
Been playing on and off since 2012 and I can confirm you will come back to this game at some point in your life
I've definitely reached the stage where dragons are just super annoying. In one playthrough I just don't progress the main quests past getting to Whiterun and just enjoy exploring Skyrim without a dragon popping up so often 😅
Yeah, in later playthroughs I ignore the main story and design my character specifically to do the Thieves guild storyline, or to be a Werewolf, or a Vampire hunter etc. I even had an Argonian Alchemist who just picked flowers and berries, and a Khajiit who's whole purpose for existing was to marry Ysolda and settle down!

They would largely be better if they just landed more often. Like they just make it harder to fight them without a bow, spell or dragonrend.
Agree with both of you! It can be fun (as long as I'm in a practical area and not in the middle of something) but they fly way too much! Running after them, desperately watching them dodging all my arrows and shouts, is rather boring.
I just used to get pissed when they killed npc’s I was still carrying quests for.
I started playing in 2014 or so. I agree with a few of these. The thing with the dragons I disagree though. I do agree that they are annoying at times, but that'd be like actually living as an incredible dovahkiin in a world filled with dovah that are coming back to life constantly. Of course they're gonna pop up out of no where and begin terrorizing you when you don't want. I love that, even when I'm like...dragon, go away.
It's actually more annoying when the dragons run away like cowards. That happens sometimes
Yeah the dragons were sort of what they built the game off... I swear they should remake oblivision or Morrowind with the same engine so we can witness them with the engine boost
I don’t even fight them anymore. Just bend will shout and move on.
The only thing that annoys me about Dragons, is that the most common dragon is a fire dragon, and I'm like a major Vampire fan, so most of the mods I download are about Vampires, and that is including Sacrosanct, and vampires have extremely gigantic weaknesses to fire, so, a Vampire can't do much against Dragons except hide inside a house and hit the dragon with damage spells when he comes down to the ground, or just use one of your abilities to turn invisible, stealth over to it, and 1 shot it with stealth dagger power attacks.
@@TheAdypoker I see. I play with a survival mod, where I have to drink water, eat food and sleep, a couple upglow city mods, I unfortunately inhereitted my buddy's mods somehow? Extra quests that I ignore and something else idk. Also a lovely mod that makes the college magical and beautiful and more useful than vanilla. And the last mod is one that makes fights funner, enemies dodge better, etc. Immersive fights I think it's called 😁
The way the battle goes just sucks though. There's no lock on system so you waste a bunch of arrows and since the devs didn't think to add collision in combat or sound fx that that make it feel like it's there it just feels bad. The whole combat system does after a while. I love how fighting a dragon is in elden ring. They're scaled up so they look more terrifying. At least they make it feel like it matters where you hit them.

I actually still love blackreach, the questline of 'Lost to the Ages' introduced me to the lore that blackreach is the origin area of Aetherium, which I find really cool. However the mods available to utilize it are rather lacking in content still.

Honestly it's a shame Bethesda barely utilizes this huge ancient open underground dwarven ruin only to barely utilize it.

You know you love a game a lot when even with its glaring flaws and issues, you still find it enjoyable and have fond memories. I'll keep mine short. basically Skyrim was one of the first few PC games I played, didnt even had a graphics card. Game looked like shit and ran barely at 30fps at best. Still loved it. Eventually got a GeForce 650, finally smoother running and looked better. Fast forward to now, I did a near 100% play through late last year. Had a blast, doubt I'll play it again aside from a fully modded run. Still, great game, flawed, but great none the less.
Fun idea. Jack your alchemy through the roof with fortify restoration potions and craft a paralysis potion to put in Nazim's inventory with the Poisoner's Touch perk. Get it high enough and he'll be out for years IRL.

My friend did that to Heimskr. He sat down with paper, pencil, and calculator and I shit you not, the math was essentially 7 and some odd years that he was paralyzed. At last, he could walk to through the Cloud District without hearing about Talos
Did that once. The novelty of seeing Nazeem laying down unable to move wears off after awhile, at least you don't have to hear him anymore.
To add to the random dragon attacks is when all the npc's start to attack the dragon, & an npc that you need winds up dying. Also you have to be careful with your attacks on a dragon because if you accidentally hit an npc, everyone attacks you & they don't stop chasing you. Or your followers just decide to randomly start attacking you & you have no choice but to kill them.
Putting your weapons back usually calm things down between you and the npc but when dragons are involved, yea they dont stay up for long. 😂😂😂
Yes! I love the homes you can get and decorate, but setting up custom decor is a pain with the take and move system. And the stuff doesn't stay where I put it. I take forever to get my statue of Dibella to stand upright on a table, and the next morning she's on the floor. ARGH!

Really the only thing that has ever bugged me about skyrim is how the world doesn't react to what you've done as the dragonborn or what your character is wearing. You literally saved the world from a time traveling dragon who has the ability to kill just about anything and no one cares. You also could be wearing a full set of dragon bone armor and the little children will still ask you to play tag....they would scream in terror in any other situation.

Guards comment on your victory over Alduin but they usually do that the 1st time you approach them right after the fight. Something similar happens if you wear a full set of an armor set. It would be more immersive if other NPCs did that too
I accidentally sold my clothes when i busted out of Helgen...
I heard them nag in Riverwood while i was doing random tasks .. you know.. the smithing stuff etc...
I go to whiterun and .. they continue to bother me about it..m
It's at that time i realized what i did...
So...
I eventually ran around mugging people of their clothes...
Problem solved.
It was not a bug but... People do notice clothing 😅
Sounds like someone needs to make a Wintersand Manor mod and give the community a dope ass house to access.
I looked, cuz I wanted one too. There is one, but it's only for PS4. :(
Maybe I can add it to my Village Homes mod
The thing I hate the most is when you mod it until you’re ready to play and then the game doesn’t work because of some conflict between the mods 😠
The game fights with you without the mods 😂 adding mods is like a first timer doing alchemy, gotta just figure stuff out
The curse of a mod!
Bro download Wabbajack and get septimus 3 or Aldrnari! They’re made to be compatible by a modder
Always check for conflicts with xedit. Always
Use vortex, it's the best mod manager for this type of stuff
Some of those Dwemer ruins took an absolute age to finish. They felt never-ending.
I absolutely hate those, still havent ventured into new ones, they take forever to finish
One thing you missed (that I honestly expected you to cover): when you spend ages downloading & installing mods & getting them all to work right, then going for a full playthrough, and and before you're even 1/4 the way through the game Bethesda releases the 17th game version update on Steam, breaking most of your mods and destroying your save, forcing you to either start over with a new save with only what few mods still work with the new game version, OR just wait 3 months for all your most important to get updated so they can work again, THEN start playing the game again, and for all the mods you were using that are now both broken and abandoned, HOPE you can find something else up-to-date that makes a decent replacement.
Then a few months later the cycle repeats.
Just set your Steam Skyrim to not be updated unless you want to.
Blackreach is a visually stunning place, but it does become a chore to go through after a few playthroughs (and I once completed A Return To Your Root, and let me say, it’s not really worth it). However, one saving grace about this place is this really cool secret that only players who have shouted at the
Artificial Sun will know about.
Quick tip for the modders out there: it's the city overhaul mod. I know you've tried rearranging. I know you've tried reinstalling. I know there's literally nothing wrong with it and all the numbers match up if you get into the nitty-gritty. I know. But it's still the city overhaul mod.
Admit, you will never forget your first battle (or first flight) with a giant.
Lasted all of five seconds.
Oh its beem forgotten. Its just that every video of it is kinda how it basically went
That will be the opening scene to starfield
Yup. Getting yeeted to Masser and Secunda never gets old 🤣
Skyrim's Space Program!
The thing I hate the most about Skyrim is how the clock goes in fast forward mode when I start playing.
I don't know if it was mechanical, or a pure coincidence, but I never really had trouble with Lydia. Other Companions would be annoying and unreliable, but Lydia always worked great for me. After a couple months of that, I just decided she would be my one and only companion for all vanilla Skyrim for all time.
Lydia is awesome. Like her occasional sass; she respects the Dragonborn, but is not too subservient. And she looks great in Orcish armor.
Always play without follower - I don't know how many time they stand in your way and it doesn't matter if it's Lydia or anyone else. The only helping hands I use are Atronachs
I made Lydia my wife at home with the kids and have Mjoll The Lioness as my follower. Mjoll is a tank and survives everything. Lydia doesn’t lol
After using mods for years I eventually went back to playing vanilla Skyrim... After a while it just became about trying out mods, and not really enjoying or playing the game. So I disabled them all, and created a fresh build. I have to say, while the bugs are annoying, it's nice to go back and rediscover just why you loved the game in the first place.
It's like taking off your clothes and running naked in the rain ha?...lol...
The thing that always gets my blood boiling is enemies and NPC's that GLITCH OUT OF THE WAY of an arrow. As soon as I release the arrow, the enemy glitches to one side or the other and I miss. HATE that.
There's a mod for that. ;)
(but I forgot which one)
NO BS AI projectile dodge
Is that not just that they have the 'Ranger' perk? Move faster while drawing a bow??
As well as a killcam occurring on a miss or bs dodged shot.
@@prathamadhikari7427 yea. The higher the level the more they dodge. Falmers do it the most along with the higher level vampires
Archery in skyrim never appealed to me so i had no idea about the stealth archer class, never heard of it until now i feel like ive missed apart of skyrim history, i always broke the game with op glitched potions and enchanting daedric gear with ultimate chaos and health absorb
I either played as the stealth archer
Or
A overpowered tank that has the strength of superman on steroids just to absolute ruin that one thief's life
I tried it since I found the archer skill exploit on the first town and realized how op it was since bandits run around searching for me sometimes brushing me but I remain hidden in the shadowy part of a large room.
The stealth mechanic is the one that needs to be nerfed
Same here. I found playing stealth archer to be the most boring playstyle ever, OP yes but Nahh. I prefer going full wizard or spellsword with mods of course
I feel like absorb health is bar none the best enchantment for any weapon
I defineitly get that the whole drauger thing can become quickly annoying and we could have probably gotten many other types of enemies in dungeons like more vampires, necromancers, and other monsters to replace them, but the reason why they are so invested is because Skyrim is based on Norse mythology or Scandanavia, and the drauger are the undead in that myth. Also, I think another thing that drives die hard Skyrim players like myself crazy is after you've played it for like the 5th time or so. You start to realize that the open world of Skyrim is actually pretty empty, and Skyrim is suppose to be one of the most ancient homelands in Tamriel, and when I think of something as ancient like that. I think of seeing ruins all over the place, ancient towers, etc. It does just feels a bit empty. I don't think Oblivion felt as empty as Skyrim does.
I love Skyrim. It’s the perfect power fantasy game for me in many many ways- but I’m going to roast it/list it’s problems. Shout out to Carter Landis for pointing out the dragon flying off to fight someone else during a fight-
1- as above, dragons blue balling us by flying away in a middle of fight. So annoying if you don’t have dragonrend yet and have to chug stamina potions just running after them.
2- lack of immersion in romance options. All the female characters have either one voice actor or another. Marriage is a dull machine like affair with some helpful bonuses but overall non existent or impactful to the story. I’ve installed and played other rpgs like Witcher and dragon age inquisition just for half the feeling I want to experience romancing a badass female character in a fantasy setting. No sex, no romance scenes, nothing. You wear a piece of jewellery, go up to a generic female npc companion, say let’s get married and boom, done. No complication or epic quests or anything remotely interesting undertaken in the romance whatsoever. And you can’t romance the best/most attractive characters like Karliah and Brynjolf, or Serana or Freya from the dlc either:
3. Lack of completion in main/important quests/main campaign storyline is too damn short. No resolution to the paathurnax dilemma unless you install mods.
4.faction quests just become bounty hunter guilds once you finish their main stories.
5. No real consequences/immersion for the civil war. No epic battles ravaging the country of Skyrim and posing a real threat to everyone and the environment unless you intervene and stop it.
6. Dragon fights become boring and receptive quickly. Melee combat itself is repetitive and the same with no features like form training or styles to change things up. Can’t block while dual wielding. No spears.
7. Rag doll effects and it’s unpredictably, and how shoddy the physics engine is sometimes.
8. Lack of agility or skill in character movement. You can’t fly, flip or jump high or smash through doors like the super powered Demi god you’re apparently supposed to be. No real long term benefits to being the Dragonborn like enchanted skill trees or upgrades other than the ability to shout at dragons and ragdoll your enemies and that’s it.
9. I hate the dwarf dungeons too. Enemies and design is just so bland and repetitive and dull and just all the same and too much of a chore to get through. Falmer and cave aesthetics aren’t scary enough. Would love a more darkness filled Moria esque feel to exploring caves set under a fantasy Nordic landscape.
That’s about all I can think of.
Forgot that it feels useless gameplay - wise to pick other races than breton and orc or maybe even high elf, unless roleplaying.
Bro are you really comparing a game 10 years old with new gen games?
@@gangez3290 Skyrim is trash even when compared to games of it's age. It lacks details and depth, thats a fact.
@@johnwill5117 do you like skyrim?
@@antzzors126 Modded Skyrim, yes. I meant mostly the game as it was released by Bethesda back then, and it's DLCs. Simply subpar.
Can we get a dishonorable mention for the faction quests? For me at least, they were bland and uninspired and felt more like a chore than anything else.
I like the thieves guild quest, I think that one was really fun the first time I did that playthrough
The mage college and companions were dull asf but I like the dark brotherhood and thieves guild even though the later are litter with radiant quests
@@locus_of_magic217 Thieves guild I give a pass to. I did enjoy that one very much.
I can only ever replay the dark brotherhood and thieves guild quests which is soooooo terrible when I wanna play good characters
@@naomidraws9620 ikr. Skyrim doesn't actually have all that many choices, really. you can't even choose *not* to sacrifice that priest if you ever want to finish the quest. you can't even choose to actually join the forsworn.
Skyrim really is an insane game. There is so much to see! I am excited for Starfield, hopefully it will live up to the other Bethesda games!
Let's hope it's way better than Fallout 4 and 76, eh? Those were trash.
The same was said about Fallout 4 and 76. Not that 76 is anywhere near comparable to 4 as it is a live service, neither lived up to the hype, at all.
it's boring as fuck
Basically, Bethesda is a company you should keep your hype in check for.
Fallout 3 was worse than Skyrim. Fallout 4 was worse than Fallout 3. Fallout 76 was a horrendous piece of garbage. See a trend here?
After I made my carrying capacity pretty much unlimited with enchants I stopped using companions
I found a batch mod for adding crafting items that sets the carry capacity to 40k and still went over it.
@@jenrosejenrose7417 what are you even carrying around at that point? Even when I was constantly changing my weight limit cause wanted all the epic things on me, I didn't break 10k
I love playing the game unmodded. I've never had an issue with bugs aside getting stuck in weird pockets in the mountains. The only thing I do wish the original had was a good glider or the ability to actually control the dragons in flight
When they released the dawnguard dlc a mod called "when vampires attack" became a necessity to keep NPCs from killing themselves. Bethesda eventually make a fix to this themselves...but it took years.
Basically the game treated vampires attacking the city like the player character and every NPC would start attacking them, constantly getting quest NPCs killed
Been Playing since release, and I use to play on console only (pc only now) but I remember the days of playing this on PS3, and it was and still is a glitch fest. It took them a few months to patch out the bug that made the ps3 freeze completely if you touched water in the game. Walking through a river, swimming underwater, etc any of it would make you have to turn the ps3 off then back on. This was one example of all the pain of the bugs. Thankfully almost 0 bugs on PC now lol
The last point about feeling accomplished because you finally made all of your mods work together, playing for 10 minutes, then downloading more mods literally made me laugh out loud... been there so many times.
Now you know. Always download ALL the mods you are going to use first. Never add or remove mods during a playthrough UNLESS you know EXACTLY what you are doing and WHY you are doing it.
Hats off to everyone who has 100% completed every location. I set my mind to it so many times but could never bring myself to actually do it lol
Thank you it was a pain . There is some Quest that only unlock at lvl 100 of a skill like a 100 Restoration one with the mage guild . 100% the game was really fun .
Those 4 peaks in solsteim are a pain to get to. The views are good though.
I did it 3 times
I had them all complete except The vampire one from dawnguard. Then i downloaded the 10 yr and had them all reset. So i finished the dawnguard onw first.
Great list. A honorable mention should be the damn Meridia's Beacon when you first pick it up. Keep doing good work, presentation is epic!
the nostalgia of playing this game for the first time always makes me wanna go back but when I do it’s never the same
Skyrim vr with mods changed the game for me
Stealth Archer was so spot on. I always want to be a mage and 2 hours later I’m sneaking again.
Well, magic is a valid choice too and you can get crazy OP doing that. For a hack n slash game though, melee combat is terrible. It’s the worst way to play the game.
@@adamwest8711 i actually LIKE to use melee.
it actually helps to us the third-person view.
ps: i like one-handed+shield style, the Block perks are VERY useful.
especially the one that makes you take half damage from fire or ice!
@@ericb3157 masochist!!
Another thing with the stealth archer, there's a combination of perks you can get while being a vampire that makes it so you can literally freeze time while you snipe people
I still love the original un modded game because I just love the story period. The mods are good to play after you finish the main story. Only then so u have more understanding of what’s going on.
11 years after this game and it is still a great rpg
I don't really hate the dragur tombs, but there a few I tend to avoid more than most. Which are the ones that have a dragon priest for a boss. I try to avoid those early in the game. One thing I like do while fighting through dragur tombs. Is try to imagine what the place looked like, back in its glory days.
I actually spent HUNDREDS of hours in Skyrim and NEVER found any dragon priest. :) I still don't know how I managed that.
I'm actually fine with drauger tombs. I enjoy playing characters with a burning hatred for the undead, going into tomb after tomb to re-dead-ify those undead. I like the Dawnguard by extension.
I made a total Peace character, and a totally Evil character to gain some flavor before I got into the mods. The mods add hours of new, fresh experiences that reinvigorates my Joy for the game! THANK YOU MODDERS. ❤️
I recommend the mod "to your face". NPCs will not talk to you unless you are looking at them, so they are not gonna see that you are talking to someone else and randomly throw a useless line.
Now that you mention it, this is truly an annoyance, it could have been in this video! In a similar fashion, I hate when NPCs are having a conversation I'm supposed to eavesdrop to launch a quest BUT I'm already talking with another NPC... The quest will work anyway but roleplaywise it sucks...
Too bad I can't have mod but that's good to know! ^^
@@agnesleuenberger3713 There is the mode "your choice" tgat makes it so quest dont start unless you want to. For example if you enter the reach, you are aproached to meet the guy in the temple, but the quest does nto start unless you actually go to the temple to talk to him. So basically there will be no new quest in the log unless you actually want to make the quest.
@@juanfisi I'd really love to have it, especially since I dislike cluttered quests list. Easy to forget what happened in a quest when there are so many of them... ^^' But unfortunately I play on Switch, so no mod for me... When I'll have a PC powerful enough, I'll think about it though! ^^ Thank you!
@Justice Oh, I remember doing that one brotherhood of steel mission in new vegas where you're supposed to delete a virus from a bunch of terminals. A guy is supposed to tell you when the virus jumps and you have 30 seconds to a minute to find every terminal with a virus on it. There were people going by at the time and they start talking all the time, either to me or veronica's in background like "Oh, haven't seen you in a while" to every single person. I couldn't hear when the virus jumped so I was eventually forced to make a save at a point where I knew the virus would jump a second or two after the save was made, because otherwise I wouldn't know.
That mod also breaks the bounty system. When they approach you saying "Wait" just look away and move on. They can't do anything.
The dark brotherhood has a really broken armor piece that doubles damage during stealth turning the 15x stealth bonus with daggers into 30x bonus which makes it so that you can one shot almost anything
You can reach 1000 damage + with anyweapon using solstiem mechanics and one shot evey npc in the game on legendary.
Assassins are meant to be glass cannons, they deal alot of damage but they dont offer much defense
Do the potions loop. Everything can be ultra god like if need be. I can one shot anything whenever I want even on Legendary difficult. I can NOT die even if I wanted to lol. I have tried. Even without using or wearing rings, necklaces, potions or armor or anything at all my health and stamina ate stuck in the 9,000,000 rang. Also in werewolf mode I can not die either. The infinite health and stamina wasn't planned though but comes in handy.
I dont find that to be broken. The dev's could have just made it be that if that armor piece is equipped, all fight encounters just an equivalent buff.
@@AIYINOFFICIAL that was dope, but a little overpowered tbh^^ At least the resistance cap was at like 85%
My most hated thing about skyrim is that I skipped all Skyrim hype 10yrs ago bc of all bugs talk and my friends and me were all in fps at that time. I started playing month ago, full ten yrs later and it's amazing even without mods. And all that bugs talk I see more as a beautiful mess.
I didn't had some of the shown bugs on skirim se
literally the bugs were NO WHERE near as bad unless you were on ps3.
like yeah on 360 there were a few but post 2016 their rare and youll play skyrim alot more than most games so the percentage of coming across a bug only increases
@@sillyninja65 The only legitimate problem I had bug-wise on 360 was the one where you go the Imperial route in the civil war and it breaks the forsworn quest because the guards aren't the same. Other than that, nothing glaring comes to mind. Most of them would either have been comedic or a simple reload away from being fixed, so it honestly wasn't that bad. I couldn't name anything else specific that happened.
At the end of the save, when I had basically already done everything major I was going to do I did end up breaking the stability of the game using the fortify-restoration glitch to OP my stats - but that was very obviously my fault.
Agreed. The bugs never bothered me. I only really use mods to enhance the environment. I pretty much leave the gameplay alone.
I tried so many times to enjoy this game, and the Bethesda gameplay just destroys it for me. I can’t stand smashing an enemy in the face 40 times with a sword and them having no discernible reaction beyond continuing to run directly into my face. Ugggh. Especially considering how often you find yourself in close quarters combat in a dungeon.
One of my favorite shouts to use is dragonrened it forces the dragon to land so you don’t have to shoot in the sky and miss the dragon
It would be cool if the dragons spoke to you as you fought them...doing the philosophy battles like Parthuunax said or halfway through they had a small chance to shout and summon another dragon that could heal them and then you would have to fight two at the same time
there's a mod i think its callled Talkative Dragons or something like that
As someone who's favorite play style involves running head first into battle, trying my first stealth archer playthrough sure has been a stressful experience
I'm a beserker type also but the only type of playstyle I really have trouble with is the weapon and shield type no matter what game I play weapon and shield well that and pacifist characters are my nightmare the reason I have problems with archery is my depth perception isn't that great lol
This video takes me back to the beautiful memories of 2011. It was an amazing year for gaming and my favorite one in the last decade. We had so many amazing experiences with Skyrim, Uncharted 3, Batman AC, Dark Souls 2, Crisis 2, Dead Space 3 and more.
The only ones you mentioned that I have not played is crisis and Batman
Arkham city is one of my favorites
I don’t know why but uncharted 3 and 4 were somewhat disappointing after uncharted 2 which is my favorite of the series and in my top 5 games for sure.
Omg Batman Ac is one of my faves !
You mean dark souls 1 and dead space 2?
Number 7 is so true. I built a manor with an armory and i wanted to display my daedric artifacts and everytime i went out on an adventure and came back after, all the items were on the floor
I find stealth archer too boring. Mage is the funnest way to go
If anyone is wondering about the dragon in Blackreach you use your Unrelenting Force shout at the orange sun ball near the Debate Hall and it'll show up.
I got so sick of fighting endless waves of draugr and Falmer that I started just ignoring them and running straight past. And I resorted to using a cheat to make my dog immortal because the idiot kept running in front of me during fights so I'd end up accidentally killing him. (Also I need to try that dragon wings mod right now because hell yeah!).
What's the dragon wings mod called and is it available on PS4
There is a mod to overhaul them and add new enemies in the dungeons, it helped a bit with the generic dungeons
@@stevengoodsell6466 It’s not on PS4.
Mods are pretty awesome. I started having problems around the 800 mod mark though, not the 200 mods mentioned in the video.
Mods have their ups and downs. my current load order let’s me start the game in any city, but also has Dragons flying around and attacking me at level 1.
I’ve played Skyrim since 2018 and I’ve always been annoyed by the falmer caves and when dragons attack they can sometimes kill important NPC’s.
Yeah that's very annoying it's like come on
That's why I love modding. There are mods to prevent dragons and vampires to attack towns and villages, so important npcs won't die.
I HATE the Falmer and Chourus bugs!! Not a fan of the Dwemer locations either. Neither are difficult for me and my two Dremora Lords, but I still hate both of them.
Yeah I actually felt like jumping in and playing Skyrim again just yesterday. Then I remembered how much of a pain modding is (keeping track of which mods you have downloaded, which mods are in need of an update, which mods are no longer available, which mods have been replaced by other mods, which mods need other mods in order for them to work properly, which mods have other special requirements such as editing the .ini files, etc.) and decided against it. I literally don't have enough time for it anymore.
Weird. I just returned to Skyrim, no mods no worries and I have fun.
You know that meme virgin modder vs chad vanilla? xD
@@FluffySylveonBoi probably referring to the modders that use titty mods instead of PH 🤣 Modders that actually fix and enhance the game are alpha chads.
The one thing I hate about Skyrim is when you're trying to make sure that no civilians die and yet somehow they end up dying anyways a prime example of this is one of the Farmers near whiterun ended up dying after I defended whiterun from the stormcloaks, the pelagia guy, i was devastated because i liked him as a friend to sell crops to
He’s meant to die though for some reason at that quest I looked it up and it says that you’ll just find him dead after the battle for white run
@@damienvazquez6620 :(
@@damienvazquez6620 :(
I remember this one time when I went to Riverwood for some ingots from Alvor, then outta nowhere a dragon attacks and kills Alvor. I always hated that because I liked Alvor, he was a cool dude
Gotta get that “mind your business” mod. No joke. There’s mods that increase the AI of civilians and remind them that they are PEASANTS and that they should RUN from the dragon/bandits/vampires.
To add to the Nazeem hate: I was chopping wood outside the Bannered Mare yesterday and heard him taking shit to all the vendors in Whiterun. Telling Carlotta and Anoriath that their products are subpar and not fresh. I like Anoriath's response though because he basically tells Nazeem that if he wants meat that's more fresh, he can go hunting himself and that the "Whiterun gates are right over there, the forest is just beyond the walls of the city, hard to miss."
my #1 gripe since I always play warriors is this. During the companions quest when they identify Farkas, he wears that armor. And dude is in generic steel plate. Farkas needs to be in Wolf Armor since 2011.
I love being an archer in Skyrim because aside from being overpowered and being able to one shot most enemies and bosses, you can literally carry an infinite number of arrows since most arrow types have no mass to them (according to Skyrim logic), I basically picked up every single arrow in my first playthrough in all of skyrim and never had to look for any ammo ever again
Play survival mode
I hated dealing with random dragon spawns while exploring so much that now when I start I new play through I never go to fight the first dragon that the jarl of whiterun tells you to fight. No dragons will spawn ever but you can't use shouts.
They should have done dragons like they did in dragonage. Optional, unique boss fights in hidden areas maybe with a quest attached. Like each hold could have had one or two named dragons with lore attached and special dialogue.
And rebuilding the blades and the parthanax dilemma could have been a key point to several dragon fights. The souls gathered could have been special shouts...I could go on and on
I've played Skyrim since it first came out and still actively play it. One my my biggest annoyances is and has been, how people still talk to you like you're lower than them after completing the main quest line. Like sure, you don't know of me or my accomplishments so far, why should you? But after defeating Alduin and literally saving Skyrim? Eh, yeah. You should know who I am by now.
This is especially annoying with the guards.
They acknowledge every one of my other accomplishments, except the fact that I literally saved the world.
No, guard. You're not the Dragonborn. I LITERALLY ATE ALDUINS SOUL. Lmao
Ik you could be the thane of all holds and beat the Main quest and the guards will littaraly just go
Citizan
I agree with you although the guards do acknowledge you saving Skyrim and everyone if you hold off on fighting the civil war until after you beat the main storyline. There's a quest that you complete if you don't do the civil war quests that enables you to forge a temporary truce between the empire and stormcloaks which is a bit tricky to complete in a way where the terms of the truce are equally fair for both factions but it's well worth the effort. Having the amulet you get for becoming the guild master of the thieves guild in riften helps but I highly recommend saving so you can revert until the empire and stormcloaks both agree the terms of the truce are fair. I forget the name of the quest but I know it is triggered after accompanying Delphine and Esbern to Skyhaven temple. Once you do that you'll have to go talk to the Jarl of Whiterun and he should tell you that he won't aid you to trap Odaviin unless a temporary truce is agreed upon.
@@mcplayer6456 if you'd like to know how to get the guards in Skyrim to acknowledge your achievement of defeating Alduin I have posted a reply to Black Cat's comment on this or feel free to msg me directly and I'll explain how to do so.
