I like how his tip for butterflies is more difficult than just catching them

"Hitting the butterflies with a weapon makes them much easier to collect" Proceeds to miss 4 times in a row

For Saadia it's a bug. She's considered a Whiterun citizen so when she despawn she's considered dead and automatically get an urn in the hall of the dead

I don't understand how swinging at a butterfly is easier than just spamming the interact button

Another note on the veggie soup, is the health/stam regen stacks... So if you scoff down 5 veggie soups.. you regain 5 health/stam per second. The only downside is carrying a ton of soup takes up a fair bit of carry weight.. lol =P

As a veteran of Skyrim since the beginning, I have to openly admit I never knew about the Fortify Destruction since I have ALWAYS been a melee, archer, stealth dagger type of character that used magic more of healing, light, find the path type small minded uses.... But THAT sounds freakingly awesome that I have to try it out immediately :) Thanks :)

Using the necromage perk and Bloodworm Helm in anniversary together, as a vampire, you can produce self-focused cloak-type spells so strong that a flame cloak will empty a dungeon before you can usually see the enemies.

And then there's the Elsweyr Fondue. If you're a caster, that stuff is just *chef's kiss*.

You have to be a decently high level in order for the black market merchant to sell daedric gear. If you unlock the power very early in your playthrough you'll be disappointed at his selection.

Saadia's urn is a bug, as a named citizen of Whiterun, she's been given an urn to spawn in the Hall of the Dead when she dies, but when she is removed at the end of the quest, the game interprets this as death, so the urn is incorrectly spawned in

With the sneaky approach instead of doing those 2 things one way I found out 8 years ago is that sheathing or unsheathing your weapon will cause your character to move like normal

Blue butterfly + blue flower = 100% negate magic regen poison. Always (alchemy level doesn't matter). So wizards would just charge you holding an iron dagger after a few firebolts.

Another option when sneaking is to be in 3rd person, draw a one handed weapon or bow while sneaking and moving forward and you'll move at normal speed. no perks needed. although I could be severely wrong as I haven't touched vanilla in a long while.

Skyrim is a great game

Anyone who plays in survival mode knows the power of cooking (especially the ability for hot soups to keep you from freezing to death.) I've played around with the cloak spells but I may have to go back and enchant some armor with the Fortify Destruction enchantment. Then throw in a potion as well ...

You can also use offensive shouts such as Unrelenting Force and Fire Breath to kill multiple bugs/fish at a time; much easier than trying to slice each one with your sword.

I use the Dremora Merchant a lot. Good way to get rid of misc loot.

Reverse pickpocketing paralysis potions is so much safer because it doesn't make the target aggressive.

The fondue does the same but for magicka. Moon sugar is required but is illegal in skyrim. The merchant chests in dawnstar, markarth and solitude all have it. Between 3 and 5 I believe.

I'm doing a semi-unarmed (still using bow for dragons and one handed in a pinch) khajit run right now and the kill animations are amazing

So glad there’s a new Skyrim vid up!❤

I did a new playthrough when I learned fortify alteration potions increase the duration of the slow time shout, running around taking everyone out like Neo, so much fun

I knew about the interactive shopping thanks to Arcadia's cauldron

in 2000 hours I dont think I ever dropped a valuable item in the middle of town.

Out of my 20+ hours playing Skyrim I still learn stuff new. It truly is a masterpiece of a game.

Deep calming voice, a well edited video, and Skyrim. Yeah you just got a subscriber.

No doubt about it, the Black Market power is excellent. But the realm of Apocrypha is pretty tough for someone at an early level, nevermind whatever difficulty one would face to get that Black Book in the first place. (Can't think of it at the moment.) Hell, just Solstheim itself is frustrating if you're under-leveled. So it may be better to just wait a bit longer to get that set of Daedric armor... Though that is a sweet reward... (I guess one could just lower the difficulty of the game for those instances.) I don't know why, but the ability to Force-shout and strike bugs out of the air doesn't seem to work on dragonflies in either console versions of the game I've played (PS3, Switch), despite being shown in some videos as working on them specifically. It's like the game can't load in their dead forms, so it just doesn't do it at all. To be fair, the Alik'r said Saadia would come to no harm on her way back to Hammerfell, hinting that her treachery may be enough to put her to death over once they brought her back to face justice. (I think others have pointed out the urn as being a "glitch" of sorts anyway; even if a character is removed from the settlement they are assigned to permanently rather than killed, the game considers it a death. Apparently, in the case of a Stormcloak victory in the civil war, Ondolemar will, of course, be removed permanently, and one can supposedly find an urn for him in Markarth's Hall of the Dead - though that could also be a remnant of the uninitiated plans for the civil war questline, wherein Galmar himself kills Ondolemar.) Plus, I find it hard to believe Saadia's story of the Alik'r working for the Aldmeri Dominion, given that the Alik'r fought so hard to get the Dominion OUT of Hammerfell after the first version of White-Gold Concordate gave them a crap deal. Though I guess it's possible the Dominion hired some mercenaries to pose as Alik'r, but Saadia makes no mention of such deception, and pretty much confirms them as being Alik'r. ...Ugh... Sometimes the only way to win is by not playing at all. (Edit: And now that I've learned this for myself, I have to mention it... Supposedly there are some magics that your "traditional" types in Hammerfell look down upon, so the fact that Kematu uses a paralysis spell is pretty suspect... UNLESS it's the game developers making things easier by not having to program in some new animations for other methods, etc. of securing Saadia. I dunno. I'm not even sure if the paralysis spell is of one of the schools that Redguards might look down upon.)

Oh man it's been 3 months you know I've been craving skyrim videos

Playing this for thousands of hours and still learning something new, thanks!

I just kill butterflies in-game with "Marked for Death".

these are some well written and informative videos. thank you...subbed

I have over 1000 hours in Skyrim, and some of these things I didn't even know lol. Simply incredible.

As for number #3, don’t buy the potions from the trader in Riverwood until you retrieve the golden claw. Because they’ll be removed from his shelves and after you retrieve the claw you can just take them for free off the shelf.

The black market is incredible for farming dragon bone gear and rare armor. You can call him, check his inventory, wait 24 hours, repeat. It’s a little tedious but you can get really strong armor without grinding smithing.

I stumbled on the Dremora Merchant by accident, and summoning him is literally the most used magic I have used in my playthrough. His purchase price was less than half of the value (w/out perks or enchanted apparel), but I sold so much looted crap to him I quickly accumulated gold.

"Could" pickpocket an organ? More like can & will. (Briarhearts)

Going fishing with a warhammer was already on my list and now I also want to try shouting and casting fireballs on butterflies.

Quest items and gear are weightless. You can pickpocket any gold/item amount from paralyzed people when they get up. Marked for death increases bash and punch damage. Marksman potions increase all physical damage. You can infinitly sprint with a 3rd person torch if you spam the sprint button as you run out of stamina

#3 was already in TES3 Morrowind almost decade prior to Skyrim. And in TES2 Daggerfall before that you actually clicked on the shelves to browse the wares and buy (or try to steal) them, though they were more like containers than loose in-world items. Some even older games, like Lands of Lore 1 actually had you click on the items in the shop, though one could argue the shops in those game were heavily dressed up menus.

I just started playing again... for the 9000th time! :)

After 10 years, I just re-installed it last night. Played for six hours straight. Getting up for work was absolutely no fun!

The easiest way to catch flying bugs is with the slow time shout. It's even easier if you take a fortify alteration potion to lengthen the duration of the slow time shout. They just hang there basically frozen for you to grab.

"attacking a bug is much easier" takes 3 times as long to get

Haven't stop play Skyrim this whole time but I totally forgot what vanilla Skyrim looked like.

I learned a thing! Thank you! 😘

I was wondering when u were gonna make a another skyrim vid, keep at it

Omg! It’s not that hard to catch the butterflies,,, they land quite often and sometimes you can catch them,ahem,,on top of another one ☺️😏…….also, you forgot to mention that when people, such as myself, play on survival mode, cooking food is absolutely essential in the game as hunger is no joke especially when in the north. So not freezing to death is saved by making hot soups with fire salts😉☺️

Trying to catch a butterfly should be difficult. I actually like that you have to mash the button or slash at the air to get them.

Yea never knew about the dynamic shopping despite 2k hours. guess it just shows you how much you miss by paying more attention to stats than detail. Ill probably learn a lot more misc stuff like this when I do my no fast travel or carriages + no dialogue skip playthrough next year. I might also make it so I can only save whenever I'm in a city or house, but that'll come down to if that's to harsh or not. maybe just no saving while your clearing a location or something. I'm not doing legendary again. it wasn't too or anything but it locked you into using every skill in the game in conjunction in order to do anything that's like a tier above you until your end game, and that's bad for people like me who like to make coherent builds. I would still recommend a legendary playthrough though, as it was still some of the most fun I've had playing the game simply because of how chaotic it was, and yea skyrim+chaos is an amazing combination. And don't get me started on boss fights. Actual perfection. Why am I typing this again? Oh yea because I'm autistic or something and I'm obsessed with elder scrolls.

can't believe there are still new things to learn about Skyrim, great video

I don't always have a heavy load, and can't quite make it to town in time, but when I do, I go to the Black Market Pocket Demon.

When im overencumbered I give the stuff to my follower

Did you know that you can wield a pickaxe as a weapon (or dual wield) and spam hit ore deposits instead pressing 'e' and waiting 5 hours to mine it👍

great job I didn't know about fence or a brawl caused by me dropping loot

Damn, I only knew one of those! Yet another reason to love this game.

Now I need to find out if I can flame shout at the butterflies. Lol

Wild question but does anyone know the armor mod that the argonian is wearing at 6:30?

For Number 3, you could do the same in Oblivion. Crazy detail for such an old game when you think about it

Does chain lightning chain on bugs too? Be pretty cool to bug zap a bunch of em at once.

I thought I knew everything until #4. I may have to go play again 😄

6:30, theres a glitch where bhopping while crouched you jump farther and higher as a breton whilst keeping most of your momentum, so speed bhop sneaking is my go to, but im guessing the walkspeed might be faster

Loathe to depopulate the inns, I prefer to leave Saadia intact and go kill Klamato. I get lots of curved swords, and like Partyslax, it's not for me to judge her past.

Dude thinks using a sword to kill butterflies will get me playing again

vegetable soup effect = the power of whole grains

I love how you can't even sell stolen items to a litteral DEMON without a perk lol

Pickpocketing someone who is paralyzed doesn't work for me...

Cooking: garlic bread will remove all status effects & only weighs 0.1. Potions are 0.5. Trick is finding butter...

Thieves Guild fences sell Daedric weapons too by the way. If your level is high enough.

I DON’T NEED ANY MORE REASONS NOOOO- *New Game started*

Damnit now I have to start up Skyrim

Accuracy while swinging a sword is a lot harder than accuracy while pressing interact. I’ve never had an issue with grabbing a bug out of the air

I never stopped playing

Can't wait to use my Enchanted Daedric Warhammer to smash a butterfly

The best way to pickpocket someone is by becoming high king and demanding their belongings.

this dude has such an amazing voice

what shaders or visual mod do you have on ? my lord, it's pretty

Oh go on then, I'll start a brand new play through.

Ever since spiffing brit showed off the cloak spell and destruction glitch i literally cant play skyrim outside of a mage unless i put mods on and patch out the fortify restoration loop 😂

During civil war in Whiterun I had a broken destruction potion from the restoration loop and I used my flame cloak to prepare for battle and literally every npc that spawned was obliterated before I even got to see them. It was very anticlimactic actually

I have not played video games in over half a year. Il be playing Skyrim or ESO again when I do. As excited I was for Starfield I just cant help it. All that new content for Skyrim im all over it after I complete my warhammer 40k army.

Never played the game, started playing a week ago. At first i didnt even knew what to do, now i'm loving it (already did the level 100 pickpocket trick🤓)

Damn I didn’t know any of these tips lol

If you have to much loot and have a companion. Don’t trade them simply drop it on the floor have have them pick it up. Unlimited inventory

you can craft a full set of deadric armor at level 1 aslong as you know where to steal some deadra hearts and then go mine some ebony at shors stone. take the materials and go to winterhold and use the atronach forge to do so by putting in the specific amount of indgriedients to what you want to build. No conjuration grind needed it takes 45 min

Destruction spells: Buff fire spells. aaaaaand. This also amplifies fire breath shout. Etc. there is a lot of things which can be stich together

Kamatu met his demise by a werewolf 😅 so it all evens out 🎉

The venison stew does the same and the stack, also the white soup does the same with magica

Still playing December 2023

You can actually STAND on the butterflies and rise.. Try THAT for thumb mashing.

6:19 same with bow even if you doesn't have any perks in it, you can just ready the arrow, it's increasing speed, even if you have like 5000 overweight

Still learning about Skyrim lol

One more thing about the vegetable soup (I’m pretty sure this is true): it stacks

The black market thing shouldn’t be a secret. I’ve literally never even picked the other two options.

Hitting a butterfly with a sword is way harder than just grabbing it

The hell you mean? I ran after butterflies and had to replace my key.

You can browse in a similar way than red dead in arcadia shop in whiterun by buying on her shelfs

My favorite mechanic is not knowing anything about the game so everything feels like a personal discovery and the game is 10x more fun.

Yep. Been getting the itch to play again.

Bro's voice is so soothing to listen to

I'm an airplane mechanic. I often feel like I'm overlooked, too.
