The best Alchemist was the Nerevarine. After being freed from the iron grip of the imperial, s/he was able to take basic ingredients and created a intelligence loop, s/he continued the loop until it imploded, and CHIM was achieved. Once the Neravarine achieved such a state, his/her potions were more powerful than one could possibly imagine. Nerevarine was reported to have flown across Morrowind with ease, instantly heal from any wound, and unleash power that rivaled to Daedra princes themselves. It is rumored that the Mehrunes Dagon delayed his plans to take of Mundus until the Neravarine got bored and had left to another plane. For he feared that the Nerevarine would have gotten annoyed, and would have gone "Molag Bal on his ass"

I've only recently, after nearing the 1k mark in hours, started working on alchemy. Granted, I use Ordinator (cant play without it anymore), but still. The potency of the skill is amazing. Great video.
I watch your Skyrim videos all the time so much to learn about the games. Being somewhat new to the game as of last year your videos have helped out and are very fascinating.
HEY FUDGEMUPPET (ALL OF YA) You guys are *great*. Thank you for so many hours of entertainment, and for the ceaseless high quality of your videos. Keep it up.
I like how in the lore eating the wrong ingredient could straight up kill you but in the game you can start a new character and eat 100 different ingredients at the same time without your health bar even moving
Kingdom Come's alchemy setting was amazing. Correct proportion of ingredients must be mixed at correct order and temperature. I hope we get sth like that in future.
I hope Alchemy will be useful for more then just brewing Potions and Poisons in TES6, according to the Lore exceptionally skilled Alchemists are able to create powerful Monsters to serve them and I would love for that to be implemented.
This might sound psychopathic, but what if in ES6 they include a perk in Alchemy where when you kill people, you can take their body parts/organs and use them for potions and poisons? Maybe just one ingredient per race and they all have unique effects but also you'll be given a bounty if found taking the ingredient or something idk. Just an idea
Dude you're the best lore teller of elder scrolls in youtube, the way u tell it its just amazing, keep up the good work and bring us more lore! Ps:the editing is awesome too :D
Be dragonborn... Collect hundreds of ingredients throughout the journey. Consume one of every type once decided to do alchemy. Loss 5% of HP with 1 minute of negative effect.
My favorite concoction other than fortify smithing and enchanting is a combination of giant's toe, creep cluster and wheat. It yields a potion that fortifies both health and carry weight. Without mods they sold for 5,000 + septims each, with mods the price tag is in the millions per bottle!
There really should be a Drew the Daedrologist playlist. It's my favorite content on the channel, but I hate having to scroll through and click on videos individually.
I've not stated this before, but I must say that your videos are highly appreciated. They are impeccably created in all respects. The music is always appropriate to the theme and is never overpowering or intrusive; certainly it never drowns out your voice -- a fault all too often found on many videos. Also, your voice is perfect. It is melodic, moderate and your pronunciation and articulation are wonderful, permitting the listener to hear and understand every word you say. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for most videos, which suffer from narration which is twisted, torn and destroyed by crass regional accents unable to be understood by anyone except perhaps the narrator's immediate family. And finally, the information you provide is always (at least to me) fresh, new and always a revelation. Therefore, I cannot thank you enough for all the impressive work you do on this series. It seems that more often than not, I find myself even taking notes, or at least utilizing the links you provide, in order to expand even further on the knowledge you impart. Again, thank you.
I was hoping that story would be referenced, the guy whom got the village to be invisible to be specific. I like alot of the books in Skyrim, alot of great short stories.
one of my favourite parallels to real world chemistry is the fact that documented wortcraft used to be a standard in chemical databooks. the taste of a substance would be written down alongside other physical properties. Needless to say, we don't practice this anymore in labs. Though in my first year at uni, my lab supervisor dipped his finger into some caffeine I'd isolated and was like 'yep, that's good.'
I've always associated Argonians with alchemy, them being native to an enormous swamp, reptile's connection to poison, etc. So my primary character: an Argonian warrior/assassin hybrid has always used it.
Phew. Guess I'll still use the common way of healing my Injuries. Yes...Cheese Wheels. Keep your Nutrition always on point with a daily set of 50 Cheese Wheels !.
You ever think about what it would actually look like if Bethesda animated the pauses where you down 5 potions or eat a few cheese wheels and mammoth snouts? Your character fighting a bunch of bandits then just being like "hold on a minute, my dudes" and scarfing 12 cabbages in mere seconds. The reason nobody hits the Dovahkiin while she's eating is because they're too busy looking on in horror as she unhinges her jaw like some unholy bipedal snake. 😂
Probably one of the best mods I ever made, in my opinion, was the one that took most of the potions out of the leveled lists. #MakeAlchemyRelevantAgain
So after watching one of your other videos I had no idea you are from the Kangaroo Valley. I stop often in the Kangaroo Valley on my way to Norwa. The Kangaroo Valley is a really nice place.
Despite being the home of Nirn's grandest alchemical masterminds, Arkasis, this mad genius' homeland has by the 4th era the least developed craft of alchemy. Where in Resdayn the Dunmeri are turning themselves into gods on the go and 2 eras ago Arkasis was turning his assistants into vampires and werewolves via potions and elixirs and when roque member of Morag Tong conspired with the Celestial Serpent to brew a potion to return Tamriel back to the chaotic Dawn Era, in modern Skyrim the knowledge and daring are seemingly lost. (I speak of low diversity of effects and strength of potions, barring the exploits.)
Also: alchemy is a dangerous but *tempting* game when you are playing a new character, I’m maining an alchemist shield-caster in Oblivion right now - she spent her first few days in the Imperial City stealing every ingredient and morsel of food from every home and business (save for some of the better-guarded rich homes) and quickly bought the best shield and spells available from the market, but upon entering her first dungeons, so high levelled from alchemy alone that she got her poor elven ass kicked all up and down the street for lack of blocking skill and carrying capacity for the potions and poisons needed to power through. Turns out that strength or a constant effect feather item is very important for this build, you have to carry a lot of potions to make the most of it 😅
In any of these games, the potion I love more than anything else is a potion of "Feather". Don't need carry weight when literally everything you carry weighs nothing at all. (Okay, okay, Fortify Carry Weight for Skyrim lol)

I love you elder scrolls Lore series. I've been watching the much older episodes for the last month or so and I can happily say I've repurchased Skyrim but for my PC and have been playing it again (but with mods!!!) and have been loving it :) I'm now reading the books that i find as I play through and I feel far more immersed into the world now that I'm more acquainted with the lore of the Elder Scrolls universe. Thank you for your wonderful videos and enticing me to revisit the lovely realm of the Elder Scrolls
Two Words: Invincibility Potion. It's Rotmeth from A Dance in Fire. Scrib Jerky, Hound Meat, Marshmerrow, and Wickwheat. Has the odd bonus of detecting enchantments. Corkbulb and Guar Hide fortifies Luck. With a level 100 in Alchemy, Green Lichen and Muck cures common disease. My main alchemy money maker.
No matter what character I play I will always use alchemy. One of the neatest parts of the ES games. Check out the amazing mod 'Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul' for Skyrim. It makes an already good system great.
Here is a guide on how to make your Skyrim playthrough easy. Start new game. Follow Ralof into keep. Kill legion captain. Grab the key. Level up weapon skills on Ralof. Open the gate with key. Contunie to Riverwood. Do BleakStone Barrow Continue the main quest and go to Whiterun. Give tablet to Farengar. Do Not approach western Watchtower. Take carriage to Riften. Hire Macurio. Go to Dawnguard and join. Teleport back to Riften. Take carriage to Dawnstar. Make use of invisible chest and merchant glitch to get good gear. Free Serena from the crypt. Go back to whiterun. Join companions. Finish their questline. Cure vilkas and farkas when they request it. Do not cure yourself. Grab ring of hircine and saviours hide. Congratulations, you are now a badass warrior who can turn into werewolf. Serena will not leave you as long as you do not go to her home making you two unstoppable. Continue Guild quests in any order but i recommend Thieves, Mages, Brotherhood in that order. Make sure to do special quest for Gabrielle to get ancient shrowded gear. You should be already to Matkath at this point (quest for Muiri), and should have note to meet in shrine of talos from strange nord. Do the Markath investigation. Get yourself thrown to mine. Escape with Maddanach. Wait till you reach exit and he gives you Old Gods armor, than Kill him before he leaves the throgh door. Grab ring from Silverblood dickhead. Now that you are head of all guilds it's time to get Serena Home. I personally recommend to stay werewolf (with Dawnguard) until you kill Harkon. Get Serena as your Steward. I recommend the Heartfire house near Morthal, if you want her to stay as vampire (recomended). Sidenote: Get Aela as steward in Lakeview Manor. You should be now powerful enough to handle main quest. Go to western watchtower. Continue questline until Summit at high Hrothgar. Give Markath to Stormcloak and Riften to Empire. Continue Main quest. (For Dragonguard recruits I recommend your old pal Marculia, the witch girl from the with tower (can't recall the name. Her mom is a witch on top of tower, she gives you Hag Eye or Eye of Melka a staff) and the Dark Elf mercenary from tavern in Raven Rock, can't remember the name of that Legend. Grab Odvahnik and get to that secret ruin. Don't forget to grab staff and mask from dragonpriest (be fast, block him on stairs). Jump into whirlpool. Summon rotten dragon from Soul Cairn :P Kill Alduin. Time to end Civil War. Join Ulfric. Now its time for Miraak. Kill cultists who will how approach you. Return to solstheim. Get all Black Books. Continue Miraak main quest. This should be a cakewalk even as lvl 50 werewolf. Now kill him. Try summomimg the dragon from Soul Cairn and Odvahniig for help :D Congratulations you finished Skyrim. Get a mansion in Raven Rock and any remaining houses alongside Thane titles. Or just do whatever you want. You earned it.
Fallout 4 idea build, Purifier, high resistance to everything via modded power armor with a hazmat feel, using a modded flame thrower so it can handle top enemies, and napalm grenades, the premise of the build is that he aims to purify the commonwealth of all feral filth with pure fire, thermites, napalm and other chemicals and explosives including chemicals. But mainly the suped up flamer.
Hey yall should do another skyrim build yall should remake the gladiator build I really loved playing it and I loved the backstory and I was thinking how cool he would be if he had more perks and more ways of combat
The things you eat in TES games to find out what they do lol. Human hearts, human flesh, diamonds, glass and my personal favorite tasty snack corprus weepings
Even in the creation kit, all alchemical effects -- or anything that modifies actor values -- is classified as a "magic effect." It's how the code...I mean dream song works. Furthermore, the Magic Resistance actor value reduces the magnitude of incoming poison damage. Just one example, but it also reduces the magnitude of all incoming, detrimental things classified as magic effects even if no resistance value is chosen for it. Those who have tinkered with mods will know what I'm talking about.
That's how it's always been - in Oblivion, for example, there's an NPC you can fight in the Arena who has a shield that grants him total immunity to magic in all forms - including alchemical. Interestingly, spider spit also counts as magic for the purposes of wards.
i love how the process is so magical and ancient, but the khajiits wanted to get fookin blazed

"My potions would kill you, traveler. You cannot handle my potions."
"Potion Seller, enough of these games. I'm going into battle and I need your strongest potions."
"My strongest potions would kill you, traveler. You can't handle my strongest potions. You'd better go to a seller that sells weaker potions."
"Potion Seller, I'm telling you I need your strongest potions. I'm going into battle! I'm going to battle and I need your strongest potions!"
"You can't handle my strongest potions! No one can! My strongest potions are fit for a beast let alone a man."
"Potion Seller, what do I have to tell you to get your potions? Why won't you trust me with your strongest potions, Potion Seller? I need them if I'm to be successful in the battle!"
"I can't give you my strongest potions because my strongest potions are only for the strongest beings and you are of the weakest."
"Well then that's it, Potion Seller. I'll go elsewhere. I'll go elsewhere for my potions."
"That's what you'd better do."
"I'll go elsewhere for my potions and I'll never come back!"
"Good. You're not welcome here! My potions are only for the strongest and you're clearly are not of the strongest you're clearly the weakest."
"You've had your say, Potion Seller but I'll have mine. You're a rascal, you're a rascal with no respect for knights. No respect for anything...except your potions!"
"Why respect knights...when my potions can *do anything* that *you can..."*
In the first Elder Scrolls novel they put a name to the skill which reveals a few of an ingredient's properties.
A 'Virtue Test'
I've only recently, after nearing the 1k mark in hours, started working on alchemy. Granted, I use Ordinator (cant play without it anymore), but still. The potency of the skill is amazing. Great video.
Alchemy is my favorite skill
I watch your Skyrim videos all the time so much to learn about the games. Being somewhat new to the game as of last year your videos have helped out and are very fascinating.
HEY FUDGEMUPPET (ALL OF YA)
You guys are *great*. Thank you for so many hours of entertainment, and for the ceaseless high quality of your videos. Keep it up.
Bro, there's three.
I like how in the lore eating the wrong ingredient could straight up kill you but in the game you can start a new character and eat 100 different ingredients at the same time without your health bar even moving
Kingdom Come's alchemy setting was amazing. Correct proportion of ingredients must be mixed at correct order and temperature. I hope we get sth like that in future.
A cool idea for a build would be a character who has been overwhelmed by power of deadric artifacts and seeks them out and uses all of them.
I'm glad you covered alchemy. To me it is probably the most interesting magic school for me
I hope Alchemy will be useful for more then just brewing Potions and Poisons in TES6, according to the Lore exceptionally skilled Alchemists are able to create powerful Monsters to serve them and I would love for that to be implemented.
Isn’t that more a conjuration thing or am I missing something?
@@duncanharrell5009 no it’s more like those Spider bomb things that you can make in Skyrim.
This might sound psychopathic, but what if in ES6 they include a perk in Alchemy where when you kill people, you can take their body parts/organs and use them for potions and poisons? Maybe just one ingredient per race and they all have unique effects but also you'll be given a bounty if found taking the ingredient or something idk. Just an idea
Cooking and Alchemy Overhaul does this for Skyrim but it's incompatible with Wrath of Nature if you happen to have that installed
What I so much love about alchemy is the freedom it provides to every build.
Dude you're the best lore teller of elder scrolls in youtube, the way u tell it its just amazing, keep up the good work and bring us more lore!
Ps:the editing is awesome too :D
Be dragonborn...
Collect hundreds of ingredients throughout the journey.
Consume one of every type once decided to do alchemy.
Loss 5% of HP with 1 minute of negative effect.
Whatever you do, DO NOT SAMPLE THE JARRIN ROOT! It will insta-kill you.
If you want some hilarity, sample Netch Jelly. The first effect is paralysis.
AWESOME! I just started a new alchemist build last week
My favorite concoction other than fortify smithing and enchanting is a combination of giant's toe, creep cluster and wheat. It yields a potion that fortifies both health and carry weight. Without mods they sold for 5,000 + septims each, with mods the price tag is in the millions per bottle!

There really should be a Drew the Daedrologist playlist. It's my favorite content on the channel, but I hate having to scroll through and click on videos individually.
Good idea!
I haven't played Skyrim in years, yet here I am watching every new Fudgemuppet video. lol
There is nothing like your dedication to Skyrim! You bring back its magic for me everyday within your videos! Thank you so much
Another Fudgemuppet video on Skyrim equals another great day!
Drew: Soul magic is bad. Messing with souls is bad, and you should feel bad.
Also Drew: So just add living flesh to the recipe, spice some things up.
"Alchemy is an art!" *picks shit off the ground and starts mixing it with other shit*
Surprisingly, a lot more art than you would think starts off like that, lol
I've not stated this before, but I must say that your videos are highly appreciated. They are impeccably created in all respects. The music is always appropriate to the theme and is never overpowering or intrusive; certainly it never drowns out your voice -- a fault all too often found on many videos. Also, your voice is perfect. It is melodic, moderate and your pronunciation and articulation are wonderful, permitting the listener to hear and understand every word you say. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for most videos, which suffer from narration which is twisted, torn and destroyed by crass regional accents unable to be understood by anyone except perhaps the narrator's immediate family. And finally, the information you provide is always (at least to me) fresh, new and always a revelation.
Therefore, I cannot thank you enough for all the impressive work you do on this series. It seems that more often than not, I find myself even taking notes, or at least utilizing the links you provide, in order to expand even further on the knowledge you impart.
Again, thank you.
Please don't stop making Elder Scrolls videos We love it
I'm glad you mentioned the pre-Skyrim ways of alchemy, which were quite a bit better imo.
What a witch build with a great mechanic of prepping and long distance, including rituals, if that is even possible.
I was hoping that story would be referenced, the guy whom got the village to be invisible to be specific. I like alot of the books in Skyrim, alot of great short stories.
It's one of my favorite stories regarding alchemy, my second favorite being the one titled, if I remember correctly, "A Game at Dinner".
one of my favourite parallels to real world chemistry is the fact that documented wortcraft used to be a standard in chemical databooks. the taste of a substance would be written down alongside other physical properties. Needless to say, we don't practice this anymore in labs. Though in my first year at uni, my lab supervisor dipped his finger into some caffeine I'd isolated and was like 'yep, that's good.'
I've always associated Argonians with alchemy, them being native to an enormous swamp, reptile's connection to poison, etc. So my primary character: an Argonian warrior/assassin hybrid has always used it.
Played skyrim till 5am while listning to your lore vid's..
Wake up, make coffee, load up UA-cam.. New video uploaded ^^
Goooood morning mate
Take all the ingredients at your disposal and just...mix them all together.
Phew. Guess I'll still use the common way of healing my Injuries. Yes...Cheese Wheels. Keep your Nutrition always on point with a daily set of 50 Cheese Wheels !.
You ever think about what it would actually look like if Bethesda animated the pauses where you down 5 potions or eat a few cheese wheels and mammoth snouts? Your character fighting a bunch of bandits then just being like "hold on a minute, my dudes" and scarfing 12 cabbages in mere seconds. The reason nobody hits the Dovahkiin while she's eating is because they're too busy looking on in horror as she unhinges her jaw like some unholy bipedal snake. 😂
@@stasi9949 You had me laughing for 5 straight minutes. Hilarious! just the weird images popping into my head. Great!
Probably one of the best mods I ever made, in my opinion, was the one that took most of the potions out of the leveled lists. #MakeAlchemyRelevantAgain
So, is Drew writing a book, or is he talking into one of those Yakudan memory stones?
So after watching one of your other videos I had no idea you are from the Kangaroo Valley.
I stop often in the Kangaroo Valley on my way to Norwa. The Kangaroo Valley is a really nice place.
Get you a man who can cook skooma 🤙🤙🤙
Despite being the home of Nirn's grandest alchemical masterminds, Arkasis, this mad genius' homeland has by the 4th era the least developed craft of alchemy. Where in Resdayn the Dunmeri are turning themselves into gods on the go and 2 eras ago Arkasis was turning his assistants into vampires and werewolves via potions and elixirs and when roque member of Morag Tong conspired with the Celestial Serpent to brew a potion to return Tamriel back to the chaotic Dawn Era, in modern Skyrim the knowledge and daring are seemingly lost. (I speak of low diversity of effects and strength of potions, barring the exploits.)
Alchemy also known as root magic.
I ate something once that I found on Solstine to find out the effects and it almost killed me.
Also: alchemy is a dangerous but *tempting* game when you are playing a new character, I’m maining an alchemist shield-caster in Oblivion right now - she spent her first few days in the Imperial City stealing every ingredient and morsel of food from every home and business (save for some of the better-guarded rich homes) and quickly bought the best shield and spells available from the market, but upon entering her first dungeons, so high levelled from alchemy alone that she got her poor elven ass kicked all up and down the street for lack of blocking skill and carrying capacity for the potions and poisons needed to power through. Turns out that strength or a constant effect feather item is very important for this build, you have to carry a lot of potions to make the most of it 😅
In any of these games, the potion I love more than anything else is a potion of "Feather".
Don't need carry weight when literally everything you carry weighs nothing at all.
(Okay, okay, Fortify Carry Weight for Skyrim lol)
Please make Elder Scrolls VI good and not a failure
let obsidian make it
@@cageybee7221 Obsidian? What do you mean?
@@harambe8372 They are the developers who made Fallout new vegas, bethesda lent them the rights so they could work on Fallout 4 while another game is released. Obsidian kicked ass with NV and, well, we all know how fallout 4 turned out. bethesda had 10 years to make it and Obsidian made NV in 2 years.
@@cageybee7221 ok thanks. I've never played Fallout NV myself but heard much positivity of it.
@@harambe8372 you should, you can get the ps3 version for like 5 dollars at places like mega replay(i don't know if they are just an indiana thing or not) or anywhere games are still sold as discs, or ebay if you feel lucky
When it's a video from FudgeMuppet I give a thumbs up even before it begin, 'cause I know it has a great quality and true research. And I never regret doing this.
Keep up the good work, fellas.
Class struggle around magic and alchemy in Skyrim. Awesome.
A mortal's disdain for magic is a form of self loathing. That is t-shirt worthy! if you guys do redbubble make that a sticker please!!!
Intro 50% of the time: WHATS GOING ON GUYS!!!
me: ya, it's Micheal
Intro rest of the time: silence for 10 seconds, then starts talking out of nowhere.
Me: and then there's Drew.
I love you elder scrolls Lore series. I've been watching the much older episodes for the last month or so and I can happily say I've repurchased Skyrim but for my PC and have been playing it again (but with mods!!!) and have been loving it :) I'm now reading the books that i find as I play through and I feel far more immersed into the world now that I'm more acquainted with the lore of the Elder Scrolls universe. Thank you for your wonderful videos and enticing me to revisit the lovely realm of the Elder Scrolls
Excellent video as always! Sidenote: your setup looks absolutely gorgeous ::drools:: wish I could get my game to look like that.
Fucking love how you guys narrate videos. So damn cool. Another entertaining watch, thanks.
13:00 good luck explaining that to the same Nord that way
Bring back the fudgemuppet show
Strange 2:20am strange time for a video
They are Australian so it's like 9:00am over there
It's nice for those of us who work overnights!
Two Words: Invincibility Potion. It's Rotmeth from A Dance in Fire. Scrib Jerky, Hound Meat, Marshmerrow, and Wickwheat. Has the odd bonus of detecting enchantments.
Corkbulb and Guar Hide fortifies Luck.
With a level 100 in Alchemy, Green Lichen and Muck cures common disease. My main alchemy money maker.
No matter what character I play I will always use alchemy. One of the neatest parts of the ES games. Check out the amazing mod 'Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul' for Skyrim. It makes an already good system great.
damn I'm possibly more interested in hearing you tell the lore than just play the game myself.
Great work guys! Thank you!
Alchemy is a great way to make money and xp in the game. I love the White Phial quest and item too!
Signal boost. You guys are fun!
Here is a guide on how to make your Skyrim playthrough easy.
Start new game.
Follow Ralof into keep. Kill legion captain. Grab the key. Level up weapon skills on Ralof. Open the gate with key. Contunie to Riverwood.
Do BleakStone Barrow
Continue the main quest and go to Whiterun.
Give tablet to Farengar. Do Not approach western Watchtower.
Take carriage to Riften. Hire Macurio.
Go to Dawnguard and join. Teleport back to Riften. Take carriage to Dawnstar. Make use of invisible chest and merchant glitch to get good gear. Free Serena from the crypt.
Go back to whiterun. Join companions. Finish their questline. Cure vilkas and farkas when they request it. Do not cure yourself. Grab ring of hircine and saviours hide.
Congratulations, you are now a badass warrior who can turn into werewolf. Serena will not leave you as long as you do not go to her home making you two unstoppable.
Continue Guild quests in any order but i recommend Thieves, Mages, Brotherhood in that order. Make sure to do special quest for Gabrielle to get ancient shrowded gear.
You should be already to Matkath at this point (quest for Muiri), and should have note to meet in shrine of talos from strange nord.
Do the Markath investigation. Get yourself thrown to mine. Escape with Maddanach. Wait till you reach exit and he gives you Old Gods armor, than Kill him before he leaves the throgh door. Grab ring from Silverblood dickhead.
Now that you are head of all guilds it's time to get Serena Home. I personally recommend to stay werewolf (with Dawnguard) until you kill Harkon. Get Serena as your Steward. I recommend the Heartfire house near Morthal, if you want her to stay as vampire (recomended). Sidenote: Get Aela as steward in Lakeview Manor.
You should be now powerful enough to handle main quest. Go to western watchtower. Continue questline until Summit at high Hrothgar.
Give Markath to Stormcloak and Riften to Empire.
Continue Main quest.
(For Dragonguard recruits I recommend your old pal Marculia, the witch girl from the with tower (can't recall the name. Her mom is a witch on top of tower, she gives you Hag Eye or Eye of Melka a staff) and the Dark Elf mercenary from tavern in Raven Rock, can't remember the name of that Legend.
Grab Odvahnik and get to that secret ruin. Don't forget to grab staff and mask from dragonpriest (be fast, block him on stairs). Jump into whirlpool. Summon rotten dragon from Soul Cairn :P Kill Alduin.
Time to end Civil War. Join Ulfric.
Now its time for Miraak.
Kill cultists who will how approach you. Return to solstheim. Get all Black Books. Continue Miraak main quest. This should be a cakewalk even as lvl 50 werewolf.
Now kill him. Try summomimg the dragon from Soul Cairn and Odvahniig for help :D
Congratulations you finished Skyrim. Get a mansion in Raven Rock and any remaining houses alongside Thane titles. Or just do whatever you want. You earned it.
Fallout 4 idea build,
Purifier, high resistance to everything via modded power armor with a hazmat feel, using a modded flame thrower so it can handle top enemies, and napalm grenades, the premise of the build is that he aims to purify the commonwealth of all feral filth with pure fire, thermites, napalm and other chemicals and explosives including chemicals.
But mainly the suped up flamer.
The reason why Alchemie existed: The quest to understand how to make things into gold
Alteration magic: I'm gonna do what called a pro gamer move
2:42 Drew: After a few too many weeks cooped up in the halls of the Arcanaeum...
2020: lol
smash 'em boil 'em stick 'em ina stew!
Hey yall should do another skyrim build yall should remake the gladiator build I really loved playing it and I loved the backstory and I was thinking how cool he would be if he had more perks and more ways of combat
The things you eat in TES games to find out what they do lol. Human hearts, human flesh, diamonds, glass and my personal favorite tasty snack corprus weepings
I live for FudgeMuppet videos.
Could you do a video on the Thalmor regarding whether they include or exclude the Dunmer and Orsimer in their ideology???
The starting music 🎶
The only good thing about insomnia is that I get to watch these videos in such a short time after they come out. :)
Yaaaay.
I love alchemy. I always enjoy making potions.
So you mix potions, right? Could you brew me an ale?
And here I thought y'all would skip this after the schools of magic
Even in the creation kit, all alchemical effects -- or anything that modifies actor values -- is classified as a "magic effect." It's how the code...I mean dream song works.
Furthermore, the Magic Resistance actor value reduces the magnitude of incoming poison damage. Just one example, but it also reduces the magnitude of all incoming, detrimental things classified as magic effects even if no resistance value is chosen for it. Those who have tinkered with mods will know what I'm talking about.
That's how it's always been - in Oblivion, for example, there's an NPC you can fight in the Arena who has a shield that grants him total immunity to magic in all forms - including alchemical.
Interestingly, spider spit also counts as magic for the purposes of wards.
Good job Drew, you did it again 👌💪
13:10
In other words:
"AnD YeT YoU'Re pArTiCiPaTiNg iN MaGiC, tHo..."
I still say magicka is the atoms of the TES.
But yeah Alchemy is always a skill that i pick up and use, but rarely use the results of.
Eating netch jelly is the best thing in skyrim, change my mind
