My personal theory with the Maven thing is that it was to an ex associate named Christophe. You can find a letter to him from her at the drunken huntsman, and it’s her apologizing (which is very out of character) and says she “sent someone to fetch him, but he’ll be coming at night” and that “the journey could be rather treacherous”. It just feels like Maven is threatening him while trying to sound nice
It only makes you read them if you're picking them up off the ground. In the pickpocket menu, you have to press the read button, but you can do that for free without getting in trouble.
My favorite play-style is Illusion/Conjuration. I frenzy a group of mobs, anything from 2 people or more, then when one party wins and kills their opponent, I raise them from the dead, from the shadows, and they are then forced to fight their opponent again, most likely to die because they don't have the strength to fight the good fight over again. I RP it as I am pitting best friends, lovers, and family against each other, then force them to fight their dead loved ones again after they successfully killed them. They never get to see me, their real opponent, they never have a chance to win. It's such a deliciously evil play-style.
my personal fav build is stealth archer (obviously), but utilizing illusion and conjuration with it: generally muffle spell + bound bow spell. also invisibility spell to get away if I've been detected
The last person you collect debt from will always give you the money without question. So you can choose the order based on which thing you don't want to do. Break the dwemer vass, steal the statue, or threaten the innkeeper's family.
I believe it’s Maul that mentions Maven has ties to the Brotherhood when you get information from him, but I don’t believe she has any direct connection to any of the quests
I also recently came across the black sacrament in the black briar manor. Unfortunately there isn’t any unique dialogue or quests involving maven black briar in the dark brotherhood quest line.
11:20 You can hold shift and press E to use item without putting it into your inventory, so you can drink potions, equip stuff and read books from the corpses.
Apparently Maven Black-Briar performed the black sacrament for the dragonborn's death (theory for the random assassins that try to kill you before joining)
This is the best part of Skyrim playthrough you do you and I do me the best part is no two playthroughs will be the same one day I might try this playthrough sounds like fun and alot of fights nice
At some point you will get attacked by a Dark Brotherhood assassin (before joining them..) is it rumored that Maven put out the hit on you and thats why you were fleeing Skyrim at the beginning of the game. There are a few notes around that kinda backup the theory too.
Steals some crappy loot in order to use it to save the whole world. That one guard with unwavering sense of justice: "You have committed crimes against Skyrim and her people!"
Watching this made me realise after 10 years of playing Skyrim, that the reason the guard bribe exists is if you have stolen goods on you you want to keep. I've just never found anything of value to steal so I've never needed to bribe the guards. I don't think I've ever done it.
Something I figured out on my recent TG Brenton character, the expert locked door under the bridge in the Ratways lead directly to the room near the entrance to the Ragged Flagon. I always open that door after killing the inhabitants there but for the first time, I went through that path and was surprised by how many times I went the long way around.
Maven actually performs the sacrament to kill the Dragonborn. I have a note from her that i looted from some assassins trying to kill me in Rorikstead. The note is called "to the Brotherhood" if you want to look it up.
Oh man an originql skyrum challenge this will be interesting to see and the fact its both original and not really that weird like some challenge runs ive week a guy beat skyrim with only bow bashing which is a really weird concept but this is a creative idea qnd its not some weird shit
Maven are indeed in a dark brotherhood quest. No really in the quest but she is mentioned for trying to join the dark brotherhood like the child in Windhelm
I think technically the golden claw should count as a technically stolen but not shown as stolen item. It was stolen by bandits and then we so happened to steal it back
I don't think Maven is directly involved in the dark brotherhood quest line, but she is known to have ties TO the dark brotherhood. They go into it a bit during the thieves guild quest line
I do love how when a guard aggros onto you for an arrest there is no escaping them sometimes. I had a fuckin riften guard follow me on foot all the way to SOLITUDE one time, mf would not give up and promptly arrested me the moment i got there bc i went thru the loading door and he caught me before i could move on the other side
Yes it's possible to beat Skyrim using only stolen items with the exception to a couple shouts that are mandatory. Is it easy to do so? Depends on how much knowledge and skill you have in Skyrim. In case people don't know: summons are actually very useful on legendary. They scale with difficulty in a weird way. You can steal at least one summon spell that I'm aware of and I'm pretty sure you can pickpocket spell books.
im currently doing a semi similar playthrough where i have to seal everything but am allowed to loot consumables and coins only from bodies that i personally kill and am allowed to loot only weapons that are direct upgrades to what i currently carry.
Well yes you can but you need to avoid getting arrested and you can’t sell stolen items to anyone unless you use speech craft very important if you wanna only use stolen items lol
Wait unless you are ignoring the tutorial clothing that you are equipped with at the beginning including possibly the hand cuffs he is technically breaking the first rule
I feel like khajiit would have been better here because of their massive power in unharmed attacks and the fact that they are better thieves in general then argonians
@@Salgood01 yeah, I tend to just pickpocket it onto bandits and kill them if I have a good stolen item, instead of selling to a fence and buying back as it is cheape But yeah it's so easy to steal good armor instead of earning it the natural way and completing quest lines, and weapons too.
what’s wrong? someone stole your sweet roll?
Oh no! Who would **burp** do such a thing?
@@mehlessmidori602 Lol
Let me guess; you weren’t playing Skyrim 30 minutes ago?
The innate urge to loot everything in sight must have been the hardest part of this challenge
Indeed it was!
Do I need the bucket that does nothing, and I can only sell for 5 gold? Yes, yes, I do
@@StreetcleanergamingPut it on someone's head to steal their entire posessions.
@@guerillagorilla4423 some people move around if you go out of there sight like Lucan (riverwood trader)
at the very least, inventory space won't be an issue
Skyrim: Pickpocketing is always a crime
Also Skyrim: If you just incinerate the dude first then it’s all good.
"I then ran into more wolves" after getting chased by the companions. Very clever, very subtle
It's nice to see more people doing skyrim challenges

If you press shift while in someone's else's inventory you can directly read the books they have in their inventory without taking them out.
Can u do that on console
@@natelavallee4034 It makes you read the ‘book’ before taking it on Xbox. Not sure about other consoles tho!
@@creepypastalover5001same on ps4 I believe

Hey so OP what the fuck
you made me remember that one time in casted frenzy on a farm, that damn horse killed everyone lol
You role play as forcing loved ones and friends to kill each other, then kill their reanimated corpses?? Are you like ok?
@@walls_of_skulls6061 Haha. Yeah. I can distinguish fiction from reality. lol.

After the goldenglow job in the thieves guild questline Maven can tell you she sometimes sends the dark brotherhood against insubordinates
@@Matius85 I was talking about the dark brotherhood quest line specifically but I do like that little nod
Always nice to see up and coming youtubers playing my favorite games
You can even be a stealth archer....you ALWAYS play a stealth archer.
What I was expecting. You can be a stealth archer or a mage or a stealth archer or a warrior or a stealth archer.
I prefer using destruction magic. I know that stealth archer is the best build in the game, but you can't deny how cool incinerating someone is.
Yeah I usually use a little magic too summons and especially undead thralls add some fire balls or lightning just to add some chaos to it. 😂
Your intro made me laugh :) ive seen a Lot of skyrim content, and you made me laugh
Something seems so funny about being such an elitist thief that you won’t even use the thieves guild armor because you didn’t steal it.
This was so good! Loved the detail of your hand behind the lip of the well, such a good touch

I wish I could pull off a mustache like that...
Appreciate it mate :)
Underrated UA-camr
That's a great video man! I'm surprised you don't have more views or subscribers
Thank you!
I honestly love your style man please dont ever change
Steal-Some-Steel looks like a funny name for a Argonian
I have only just discovered your channel and I like it. Keep up the good work!
MajorSlack has a whole playthrough about this. Really entertaining
This is the best part of Skyrim playthrough you do you and I do me the best part is no two playthroughs will be the same one day I might try this playthrough sounds like fun and alot of fights nice
I like the fact that even after you become the Listener, the Night Mother never answers Maven's call.
Even she knows Maven's an ass.
your content is hilarious man keep up the good work. You could be a big youtuber in the future I know it.
At some point you will get attacked by a Dark Brotherhood assassin (before joining them..) is it rumored that Maven put out the hit on you and thats why you were fleeing Skyrim at the beginning of the game. There are a few notes around that kinda backup the theory too.
albino creature exists:
Kort: ALBEANO
yt is weird...good and amazing content creator got so little subs...im ur new sub...keep the video comimg great work
Thanks mate I appreciate it :)
i never knew maven had a black sacrament in the manor
Thank you algorithm for showing me this man
Edit: Just subscribed :)
Thanks for the sub!
Hey man, I loved this video! Keep it up :)
"Ralof touched some imperial booty"
Bruh this commentary 😂❤
nice one. was persuaded to like and subscribe by the cutting joke.
Love the video man
Glad you like it mate!

The greenscreen work you do... You clearly have a good taste in videos, namely general sam videos 😏
This is a great video too!
Thanks mate and yes, I got the inspiration from general sam

Appreciate it!
"and I grab myself the name of the game" kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk 15:30
If fugitive gives you ste(a)l boots of lifting, a farmer will come and you can give them to the farmer.
And then steal it back
Now this is a clever run might give it a try myself
i need more videos like this
"Did someone take your sweetroll?"
Actually yes, it was Kortgaminggg.

haha good video!
(the "haha" part is for the nice work with the green screen)
"skyrim with only stolen loot"
me: isnt that how you play the game vanilla? lol
Man, he literally is Jabo from Ebay. Nothing wrong with that of course, loved the video
This is honestly a good challenge, if you get thrown in jail then everything gets taken from you.
Indeed it was quiet difficult
As a kid who was terrified of dungeons and getting ambushed…. this was exactly what my experience in Skyrim looked like😂
The short answer: yes
The long answer: *quicksaving*
That WWE suplex was crazy😂😂😂
Great video 😁
One thing…you forgot to kill nazeem

Every single of my playthroughs is stolen loot only haha
Solid idea man
Should've pick Redguard, heard they are pretty good thieves.
this is why i choose them all the time for my Skyrim runs 👍
Sus
albeano saber cat 10:26
albeano troll 10:28
it looks like Maven wants the Dragonborn dead or something like that🤷🏻
Please finish the rebuilding the common wall video series. It was really enjoyable.
You should try kill every dark brotherhood person steal from every theif guild member shout at every greybeard and so on
I like this idea!
Very nice!
im currently doing a semi similar playthrough where i have to seal everything but am allowed to loot consumables and coins only from bodies that i personally kill and am allowed to loot only weapons that are direct upgrades to what i currently carry.
This was a fun run
This is just one of my standard runs in skyrim lol 😂
Well yes you can but you need to avoid getting arrested and you can’t sell stolen items to anyone unless you use speech craft very important if you wanna only use stolen items lol
Brotherhood but you can't directly kill anyone, extra quests included
God I wanna make skyrim videos like this, a shame Im absolutely awful at the game
Technically the golden claw was stolen from the river wood trader but you didn’t steal it, and the elder scroll was stealen from the dweller
I feel like lockpocking should be ok cause technically it’s part of theft but can be used for better aswell
Wait unless you are ignoring the tutorial clothing that you are equipped with at the beginning including possibly the hand cuffs he is technically breaking the first rule
Bro this is like my every other play through
you can read notes while still in someone's inventory/dead body without taking it
Hats off to you and top of the evening to ya😎🆒🕸️🕷️🕸️
“The contract was only take” … so press shift and read it from his inventory….
I did this before and got STRIPPED by a Whiterun Guard.
Great video mate. no hate but u really look like Macaulay Culkin
You look like the guy who kidnapped Ted
I thought this is how we all played Skyrim 😂😂
Can You Beat Skyrim With Only Stolen Loot..... yes a lot of people have done this before, ill still watch though
go to lashgbur and theres some orcish armor on a table thing made out of stone outside
I feel like khajiit would have been better here because of their massive power in unharmed attacks and the fact that they are better thieves in general then argonians
You know you can read notes on bodies with out taking the note
This is basically how I play anyway😂
OK but since you brought it up , it's kind of a wasted opportunity that there are no Dark Brotherhood quests that involve Maven.
I have a near impossible challenge. Try to beat skyrim without taking any damage, while avoiding tge courier
stole so many steel arrows, might as well have been called steal arrows
Before watching the video. I realized when I let myself get arrested once. That almost all of my items were stolen.
Every prison has a chest with your stolen items that are confiscated, might have a master lock or something though.
@@eileenruth_ I’m aware. That’s how I realized almost all my items had the “stolen” tag.
@@Salgood01 yeah, I tend to just pickpocket it onto bandits and kill them if I have a good stolen item, instead of selling to a fence and buying back as it is cheape
But yeah it's so easy to steal good armor instead of earning it the natural way and completing quest lines, and weapons too.
