Welcome to a Skyrim challenge run where I play as a humble woodcutter. This is a Skyrim normal life roleplay where I take the role of Douglas Blackthorn a Skyrim normal person just trying to earn a few septims.
This video will see us try to live a normal life in Skyrim on survival mode.
We're pretty much playing as a Skyrim npc or an oblivion npc

This goes so hard fr fr
I’m gonna need an employment survey after this
At least it ain't furry smut 🤷
I was thinking this as I clicked on the video
My unemployed depressed ass gets great joy out of watching stuff like this 😂
Skyrim players in 2011 vs Skyrim players in 2024 be like:
2011: I'm going to be a stealth archer dragon-born demi god and save the world!
2024: I'm going to be a lumberjack
2011: I took an arrow to the knee!
2024: Tell me about it…
took a tree to me eye ;c
I started this game in 2022.
@@Dusdextroretirement is real
It ain’t much, but it’s honest work
Rest in peace for the farmer from that meme
I've actually done this for a mage character. I cut wood to pay for magic training lessons and spell tomes, learning magic the honest way. I ended up at 90 to all magic schools. My dragonborn was basically a well trained student of the College of Winterhold with "years" of diligent lessons and hard work.
How?
A mage with hands so calloused, no-one would believe they were a mage.
@@misfortunate116Well, you can basically level up your skills by paying npc trainers. I loved wandering skyrim from towns to towns to find the right mentor for the skills I wanted to grow, paying them with septims from woodcuting. I ended up in the college in Winterhold after a while, where the teachers can level up your skills to the most advanced level, which a local mage or healer can't do. Usually you level up magic by using it in combat or wathever, but I decided to only pay for the lessons, to mimic a student learning magic by studying hard. Since my character was from humble origins, I decided that my job to pay the lessons was woodcuting. That was a lot of fun and truly rewarding.
@@arraelle7453 but don't you need to actually level up for every 5 lessons? You would still need to level the normal way
@@TOBY-jy7bzYes you do, but selling wood to merchants instead of special npcs (innkeepers and lumberjacks) level up your speech. It's the same thing when you are buying stuff, like food or spell tomes.
*Spots a dead man* “oh no..”(immediately starts searching his pockets). Such a Skyrim player thing to do 😂
'Oh no, anyway' - Jeremy Clarkson 😂
'Oh no, anyway'- Jeremy Clarkson 😂
_Everyone_ in Skyrim does it.
I love these types of videos!The peacefulness and no dragons or enemies around.
Same!!!!
so wholesome and chill
if you never go to Bleak Falls Barrow, there aren't any Dragons 😌
@@poolhall9632 yup
Should have been in survival for eating and sleeping
I can see him chopping wood with Wuuthraad by episode 8
lol
@@JacobyWakebyTo be honest, even a coin per piece of wood is overpriced.
one day we shall chop elves with Wuuthraad amen brother
@@fredfry5100 Said like an agent of big wood! That's exactly why the bears unionized!
@@antiochus87 🤨🤨🤨
lost his eye due to "lumberjacking days" nah he's used to be an adventurer
But then he took an arrow to his knee
@@slimytoad0803 he's not married. the arrow was in his eyeball.
Hey those splinters are no joke
@@TheVampireAzriel reference to a voiceline from the npc guards in skyrim
@@slimytoad0803 I know "took an arrow to the knee" is an idiom meaning someone (usually a man) got married. :)
Now I'm wondering if my D&D group would play a game in which everyone is just an honest tradesperson.
I tried it, apparently being a bartender wasn't good enough. My players wanted to be mass terrorists.
@@ArkayaStudiosD&D really brings out a lot of suppressed desires in people
I'd absolutely love a campaign like this! I'm gonna have to make a note of that for a future casual campaign. Currently we're doing a homebrew mideval "rise to power" "raga to riches" campaign. I want my players to end as the richest, poorest, strongest, or weakest and be know for their own deeds and as a group. Wanna become a king after you've defeated the bbeg? Well then, you're adventure isn't iver! Choose your royal path: tyrant, benevolent, pacifist, warlord, etc. And embark. Control your kingdom and make choices that may affect your kingdom
My plan is for this to be a forever campaign that changes with time and integrates different ideas and other campaigns, as long as it matches the vibe and fits within my systems and the world rules
One of the ideas I have is a Kobold who wants to actually live to be 120 years old and start a sort of adventurer tavern. His reason for traveling is to better his brewing and cooking skills. His main method of making coin with the party? Helping out the local tavern and filling the party's belly. He might dabble as a ranger or rogue but he knows what his end goal is: to retire with his own business and live a long life and raise many a kobold baby to be happy and safe
@@WinterRose-el6nnThat's ambitious as fuck. Best of scheduling luck!
I absolutely love these calmer RP stories. You have a good character and a clear goal. There’s so much more to Skyrim than archery and dragons and you have found a lovely niche. Keep up the good work!
But it needs danger for peaceful things were valuable. Thats how it works I guess.
The yang to the yin ☯️@@thf1933
@@thf1933Maybe modders should add some mods for that:
- Stormcloaks raid the village.
- Legion troops turn up to demand supplies with veiled threats.
- Thalmor agents seize a neighbor.
- A living god wearing the bones of a dragon turns up, steals a bucket and gets in a fight with a chicken which escalates into him and his axecrazy housecarl slaughtering the whole village in semi-self defense as all your mild mannered neighbors go into a frothing berserker rage to protect said chicken...
Just another beautiful day in Skyrim!
@@antiochus87ya I think we'd all appreciate it if you got off the UA-cam comments ...and went and worked on the next elder scrolls 😊. This is exactly the kind of thing id love to see. Hundreds or thousands of random encounters. Bandits, politics, drama...yes please
@@jakecollin5499 Thanks, I would willingly do that if I had half a chance!
If you're going to go to riften you should get At Your Own Pace Thieves Guild so that Brynjolf wont ask if you've never done a hard days work for all that coin youre carrying
Will check this out
@@JacobyWakebyMod list where?
@@darklordmathias9405 in the description, where it belongs
@@darklordmathias9405description, I wouldn't recommend you use a lot of mods down there though, most of them are pretty outdated.
@@darklordmathias9405in the description
This is strangely inspirational. It almost makes me want to get my own life together and do something with it.
Almost.
Try the trades buddy!
start with a chair
Reminds me of my hunter character. All he does is hunt animals, sells the pelts or crafts crafts armor. Also on survival, he also is an avid fisherman. He spends a lot of time around Whiterun. Sometimes he has to defend himself, but actively avoids combat if he can. He has a house just outside of whiterun and lends a hand to the farms when he can for extra coin. It’s really fullfilling to me for some reason. When he finally wanted to venture out and build his own home, he traveled to Falkreath, it was a dangerous journey, but he evebtually made it, and took a job from the Jarl. He wasn’t a fan of mercenary work, but took the job with prospect of owning land of his own. He snuck is way to a mine in the region and stealthily took out the bandits. He returned to the Jarl and was finally able to own Land of his own.
Very cool character, have a played a similar character before :)
Honestly Douglas could probably use the Woodsman’s Friend axe given the name. Oh and maybe a mod for turning trees into piles of wood.
Terraria mode
Imagine if this is what the dragon born actually did 😂. Warns the jarl finds out hes dragon born and says "im not fighting dragons for a living lmao 🤣".
Thanks for the slice of peace, chill skyrim run, no OP character, no obscene challenge run. Just a dude trying to make the best he can with the skills he has.
Honestly....who in their right mind would place a tent near a LOUD waterfall.
I need that green noise to sleep
i have a massive tinnitus... i'd do it just to not hear it😂
Ah, yes! The Saga of the Wandering Woodcutter must continue!
These vids of yours got me inspired to try these types of playthroughs on my own game. With the help of mods adding jobs, favors and a ton of random encounters, it's amazing how much more immersive it is to just playing as an ordinary citizen or plain adventurer making a living and working towards a nice goal instead of becoming a living demi-god.
What mods did you use (if your on Xbox)? I have tried to do playthroughs like this before but it never felt right
Yeah, I'd be interested in that, too! I'd love to try that out - so tired of the obligatory adventuring
@@daydreemurr8227 Check out:
Skyrim Jobs mod
Jobs of Skyrim
Missives
Notice Board
Extended Encounters
The first two are separate mods that add things like poaching, assassin contracts and even tavern work plus way more
Missives and Notice Board give you witcher 3 style boards in the hold capitals and smaller villages that give you a variety of contracts, you'll also get adventurer/mercenary npcs who can pick up contracts on their own and you can talk to them to help them on the job
Extended Encounters adds way more random encounters and immersive scenarios like more wandering traders, mercenaries and even guards attacking bandit camps
@@daydreemurr8227 These were all the mods I used when I had the Xbox. Also check out one of the Live Another Life mods that let you start somewhere else in the world skipping Helgen.
@@azrani2023 Xbox or PC?
I did something similar for my great pub-crawl of Skyrim. My character would visit a new tavern every night, and make his travelling (read: drinking) money by working at the mills along the way.
I see youve been drawn to the allure of virtual timber.
I hate to admit this is how I used to play skyrim when I was 7 and scared of fighting
More please. This is so much more interesting than any of the challenges I’ve seen. Just a man and his axe trying to make his way in the world.
If you wanna die drink when he says humble! Love your vids man! More please.
life as a mill worker seems like a good miniseries.
Was born to save the world and slay alduin the world eater, but chose being a wood cutter that's a man of conviction right there
Just like the fisherman video, this is just so easy to turn on and chill with. Love the game ambience and always have, but now I get to enjoy it with little to no conflict! Just the daily life of this average man living in skyrim lol! Honestly super fun to watch.
As a roleplayer of many games who genuinely loved immersion. Your channel and these videos I beg you, please do more of. It is so fun seeing people live out their lives.
“The tree split just wrong and took his eye out”
Me picturing a tree doing the splits so hard he went blind
This has to be the most relaxing Skyrim gameplay I’ve ever seen. I love this.
This man is playing Skyrim like it's Runescape
99 woodcutting
"Hard work, but honest work."
Take a shot every time he says 'humble'.
Do more indeed. Douglases hard work must be rewarded
Glad other people do this stuff. I have a character who only hunts. Elk, deer, goats, foxes, wolves, even a couple of mammoths. I worked up enough money to buy one of the hearthfire homes.
Ahh, playing video games through you my friend. And now, apparently, making an honest living as a woodcutter through you too. Thank you for the peaceful and consistent content my friend, continue the great work! You are appreciated, beyond just your content, and your channel provides more than you know for so many.
Facts 👌
Happy to see someones helping out poor Sigurd!
im way more invested than i thought i'd be
Love the role-play series. Glad you started life as a woodcutter. You’ve inspired me to try and doing a lot of these types of play through on my own game. I’ve been a subscriber of yours for three years and you always find new role-play ideas for me to try out. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for sticking around!
@@JacobyWakeby no problem. You provide me with a lot of play through ideas and different ways to see the game. Definitely keep going with your life as a series. I would love to see you return, or start a new version of life as a Lord. There is a new mod that allows you to become the. Jirl of Ivarstead.
Somehow you made the most boring Skyrim task entertaining xD I would love to see more of this character.
I like the series idea it’s cozy and calm
Mmmm, edible mushrooms he says. As he picks Mora Tapinellas, one of the three ingredients to make the most efficient damage health and paralysis poison.
So glad UA-cam decided to randomly show me this video. With a game like Skyrim I feel like I've seen so many different challenge videos, or heavily modded playthroughs, or speedruns or what have you but this is completely new and refreshing. At first glance I didn't expect it to be entertaining at all but I'm glad I gave it a shot. Looking forward to seeing more
To mix it up also be a farmer collecting cabbages and potatoes
Better than starfield still
Please do more of this. It's so relaxing
Will do!
sometimes you feel like you would live in skyrim vs the real world 😂
Honest gold for honest work
I went from watching an actual bushcraft/survivalist video to this and it's hilarious how similar it is.
I did a 20 hour role play as a wandering hunter wood cutter guy. Only sold meat and pelts and chopped wood when I occasionally went to town.
what's strange is i was here today cutting wood for a few hours, stumbled here,
I did something like this just playing as a hunter, selling pelts and meats to the vendors before upgrading my equipment and towards the end venturing more and more into the hostile lands. Mods made it amazing, def a fun way to play.
I look forward to every single video and character you do. I laugh out loud at your humour and I have learned how to do some things with my characters from watching your videos. Please keep on doing what you're doing, I love them.
Thank you!
Ever consider life as a giant for a potential future series or stand alone episode? I’ve seen some neat mods that would be great for role playing as a giant in Skyrim.
I would LOVE to see a run like this!
Please no giant seggs mods
I've seen one of the clearest skies on earth. Death Valley in the valley itself during the off season.
No tourists meant no light sources of any kind, perfectly clear skies with no dust nor weather.
I looked up at the night sky at 0300 (3am) while resting on my motorcycle, and was struck utterly speechless.
The darkest and clearest sky in the US, and one of the darkest and clearest skies in the world.
The majesty was truly indescribable. The game doesn't even compare.
That's awesome. Funnily enough one of my dreams is to go on a motorcycle trip across the US, would be cool to ride through The Mojave desert.
Never stop making these videos man they’re calm and soothing and easily draws me in💪🏾
I would love to see more of these! I really like the slow-paced gameplay.
I found this relaxing and entertaining. A good twist on regular Skyrim gameplay. I hope you'll be able to keep it interesting as you get wealthier.
This is how I played Skyrim when I was 8 and my parents constantly teased me for it lol
Yeah I remember telling a teacher the same thing, teased me too haha
I love these calmer playthrough videos. I know I would like to see these videos more.
I love all your videos, so cozy and immersive
I have never seen a Skyrim video like this and i absolutely love it! Please continue the story of Douglas. Great video bro
He doesn’t use his shout for battle, he uses it to clear away brush and shrubs so he can work
I love it, i hope there is a lot more. Thank you.
Such a cool idea, inspiring watching a humble character with aspirations of running his own business! Great luck with the deed! Can't wait to see the rest of the series!
Havent seen you in my feed for a while. I would love this as a series!!
Videos like your help me get over my lonely life thank you ❤
I love this! Thank you for this amazing series!
Thanks my man!
Most welcome! I just downloaded those mods, and cant wait to follow in your footsteps!@@JacobyWakeby
Please do more of this. I definitely want to watch it.
Another promising series has began!
Taking a brief break after completing Life as a Miner, before I start watching the Life as a Lord series.
Your series were fun and interesting, and it has been my constant source of entertainment for the past few weeks.
So far I've finished Alchemist, Healer, Normal Life, Vigilant and Miner. Left Fisherman halfway cause I can't get over Darkheetus' death and Merchant still in the holds.
Thank you very much for the fun, wonderful videos! Looking forward for more series to come!
Thanks for watching all my series' haha
01:40 I was actually expecting you to say “now his goal is not just to simply earn money, but to have his revenge, as he hates trees ever since” xD
definitely make this a series! this is so calming and cosy
I went in morbidly curious and now I am super invested. Your ability to dive into the role is very engaging.
This video is amazing! I would love to see more of it. I thought it would be a one off, it looks promising… This would make a great series! Keep it up!
This was great I love this. I definitely want to see more of this character. It’s a great idea for a survival play through
Just wanna say that I hope you do more of this, I just reinstalled Skyrim on my PC and I am modding it to follow in your footsteps as well.
Honest gold, for honest work.
I loved this! You’re approach to role playing and your editing style made this very entertaining. Can’t wait to see more videos like this!
Hi! I'm a simple lumberjack who just escaped Helgen from a dragon attack.
This was fantastic, looking forward to the next one
This was so wholesome, I'm going to watch some of your older series and I'm subbed so I can watch part 2
this is my first time watching one of your videos and it's giving me massive nostalgia from 2011-2013 let's plays. people just talking and making things up as they go without much editing... something like og yogscast
Haha yeah that's the kind of stuff I grew up watching
I love this kind of video of yours, I definitely would like more, thank you in advance.
please keep this series up. idk why I'm so invested
Absolutely I would love more of this fine gentleman! What a fantastic mill property mod I'm excited to see how it looks next time.
You capture something special with these vids dude, new series is 🔥
Never thought I’d like these kind of vids but I like it, it’s just peace.
kill a city lumberjack, take his job before another npc moves in
I love the woodcutting montage you did that's a nice step up in video quality
I just wanna say that I would watch any video you make! Even if you redid some older videos, did a regular playthrough, a playthrough the way you wanted, or life as well…whatever! You’re videos are entertaining off your personality not what you do in the videos! Thank you for what you do and always trying to improve your content, i truly appreciate it.
Thank you, much appreciated my guy!
This is a fun concept! Looking forward to the next episode
First time ever actually really looking forward to a video + first time ever enjoying watching role playing, nice job!
never did I expect to enjoy such a simple video. I was wrong. Good video for sure
I do enjoy watching these slower, chill, rp videos. It's nice to filter them in giving me a choice if I want adventure or something to sit down and get lost in Skyrim and the RP.
A very chill video.
Good for settling down from the more intense runs.
👍
I absolutely would love to see more of this guy.
I feel like this guy woulda rocked a handlebar moustache
Glad I found your channel.
So much good stuff!
Definitely need to see more! These series are more entertaining than most things on Netflix
I’m in love with these calm working class RP videos you do ♡
Safe travels friend
I really would love to see more of this! I wanna binge this series so bad lol
