Nope. I couldn't survive on a desert island, unless there was ZERO Threatening wildlife, plenty of Fruit and Vegetables growing wild, no dangerous plants, and clean, potable water, and a constant 70'F 24/7, 365 days a year, With no inclement weather... so basically, unless it's a total paradise... I have NO survival skills.

[@GcubePlayer8]

Already have it and playing WT while watching lol

You're probably a P51 guy, aren't ya? WT is far too much fun but the snail is greedy

Alan officially has a more interesting story than the Dragonborn and I love it

He has had quite the life haha!

[@hardyorange]

I'm so glad I've been introduced to this mod via this video in particular! I appreciate that Alorn just wanted to get home safely and soon, not explore every crevice and solve every mystery on this island. By following his journey, we got an overall perspective of what this mod has to offer (which seems to be a ton!) without spoiling everything, so I personally feel eager to go play the mod for myself. Yes, there's absolutely a time and place for deep-dive mod play-throughs, but not every video featuring a mod has to do that to be a "good" video, and I think this is a GREAT video! I enjoyed how much character you gave Alorn. I look forward to seeing what he gets up to next!

[@ValePlaysGames]

Glad you enjoyed! I’ve always liked turning the mod into my own story, even if I miss things. Always fun making your own way in things

[@AnonCommenter-k5m]

Damn there was a shovel sticking outta the cart in the dragon cavern as you were fleeing like a little girl hahahaha

[@ValePlaysGames]

Haha I definitely didn’t see that, saw the dragon and got out as fast as I could 😂

[@PesterJester3]

now we need a story about Alorn's wife who got lost and trying to head back home to see if Alorn replaced her and then the two meet right in front of their home at the end

[@OwlofNevermore]

Yay! Alorn is back! I think this one is my favourite chapter of Alorn's story. He did work hard to build his growing business empire and become a jarl, but he was always more of a builder not a fighter. Seeing Alorn take on a new challenge of fighting and surviving, using those skills instead of his keen business mind and craftsman skills, that added a new layer of depth. There isn't anything Alorn can't do if he puts his mind to it. I'm a little sad this is his final chapter, but it was one hell of a great story.

[@ValePlaysGames]

Not ruling Alorn out for a return down the line haha, he’s a great character. I did want to bring him back for this to prove these points, not always a fighter but he can if needed

[@Kothe5mv]

Appreciate the tales of alorn alornsonn

[@ValePlaysGames]

Had to bring him back for another adventure!

[@aaronbarnes467]

Alan is gonna be fine is my prediction at the start, and he is gonna turn this island into resort to add to his growing business empire

[@ValePlaysGames]

Hopefully, there’s plenty of danger to avoid

[@matthewrowlett1564]

Heres a Video idea for ya... Alorn Alornson(i hope thats spelled right, its how it appeared on screen) Has done it all, but what of his Sibling?(perhaps a sister named Elayne?) I'm Not sure if theres a mod for this, but... You Take over a bandit camp, Rebuild the defenses, and start a Mercenary group... (similar to your Town building from a past video, but on a smaller scale.) With the goal of becoming the best Merc Group around, Taking on contracts to kill monsters or defend caravans... or simply hunt down criminals and bandits. It would be quite entertaining, i think. Especially if you take the Sibling angle i mention above... Alorn can defend himself somewhat, but hes no fighter... his younger sister, however, Can throw down with the best of them, to which her Arrest Record can attest. You could even start out with A release from prison in, say, Whiterun... i mean, theres a nice, nearby group of bandit camps near whiterun. One in each direction, Almost. (North of whiterun, West of Whiterun, TWO East if whiterun, And two South of Whiterun, near Riverwood.) Just thought you might be interested in the idea.

[@ValePlaysGames]

I have looked for bandit style mods and it seems they don’t exist sadly, could be a very fun playthrough!

[@matthewrowlett1564]

@@ValePlaysGames Wow... Skyrim modders are lagging behind the Ark modders AGAIN? First no play as a Dragon mod(as far as I know there still isnt) and no Bandit-style mods either? (SERIOUSLY, the Ark:Survival modders had the play As a dino mod out a few months after release... but last I checked, back I'm 2016 there was STILL no Dragon Mod for skyrim. I mean, how hard would it be to modify the Werewolf or Vampire lord Features? They've made mods to those features to turn you into Frickin super saiyan goku, with completely new animations and models, but they can't do it with Dragon, which already has Working Models in the game???) Maybe some Modders out there will see this... And make a Bandit or Mercenary Mod...(or play as a Dragon mod... that would be awesome.) I wish I knew how to Code... or knew someone else who did...

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

@@matthewrowlett1564 13 years and still no bandit mod? Disappointing. On the other hand, they had a fishing mod back in 2012

[@Trephining]

Excellent stuff though, love this type of story with a goal that's a mod but no it's a playthrough but its just a questline turned into a movie. It's pretty great.

[@ValePlaysGames]

Thank you! Always like to craft a bit of a story to make these mods a bit more interesting

[@Trephining]

Your videos are really well made. If you wanted, you could afford to slow down your pace a little bit. I don't know if that's anything you'd really want to do or not, but your current pace leaves opportunity to slow down. I noticed that when watching your content, I can't take my focus away from the video for but a second, lest I risk missing something that has a decent chance of being a) important, b) interesting, c) entertaining, or d) some combination of a), b), and/or c). So you could space out your "punch lines" so to speak, or even give yourself just more comfortable opportunities for breaths. Didn't know if that sort of not-quite-rapid-fire-but-close-to-constant level of import of each statement you make and scene you present or describe was the 'style' you were intentionally going for, was it?

[@ValePlaysGames]

I think they could come across as fast paced because I’m not a fan of filler scenes, normally if it’s in the video it’s important. I am starting to experiment with some more cinematic / world building scenes which would probably slow things down a little

[@bryanthesmith4441]

I have been using this mod since it first came out, I even had a smal part in its creation. When Arron first started we struck up a freindshap (of the online kind). My name on the Nexus is Kregen you can find my name in the early posts up untill arron had to leave and stop modding due to RL preasurs. It was sad that he had to retire he had so many more ideas but it was unfortunatly not to be. the mod is now unfortunately dead but still very enjoying. I remember sitting on top of a rock trying to fend of keevers with a week fire spel and next to no magica and a stone knife. I recomend this mod to any Scouts, Hunters or stealth archers. I had many enjoyable hours in this emersive mod with my Elven decendant of a remote Snow elf/Bosimer hybred tribe, named Uncus.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Any scouts, hunters or stealth archers. So 95% of the players...

[@ValePlaysGames]

It’s a great mod! Really enjoyed playing through it and finding some of the secrets

[@austinclements8010]

you mean a deserted island? skyrims too icy for a desert 😂

[@Cl0ud55]

Kinda irritated by the fact you didnt use a sword against the troll or pirates

[@DragonHeart-cm1tx]

I AM SO GETTING THIS MOD!!! My char is a Native Huntress. She uses the Nord template with the Brenon 25% magic resistance. She has the skin color, hair color and physical/skeletal features of a Native American. Her skin is so dark, she is often mistaken for a Red Guard from behind, but when she turns around people don't really know what her lineage is. Her people, called "Natives", are a very rare and dieing race that have always inhabited Skyrim and predate the Nords considerably. Being fantastic Medicine People hunters they utilize a balanced blend of melee, ranged, and magic and vastly exel in natural medicines (alchemy) and healing magic. This island seems to be a perfect test Gentle Creek!

[@ValePlaysGames]

It’s a very fun mod! Survival mode and this combined was a nice challenge as well, especially for a new character

[@rossnorris2351]

This mod sounds awesome from the Nexus page. From this short playthrough it looks fun as well. I think any character I played would go back to figure out the mysteries, if you can go back.

[@destero8853]

I played this mod aswell, I love it! There should be more deserted places like this for survival!

[@ValePlaysGames]

It was a great mod! Heard there’s another area called chanterelle which is similar

[@ashmaritz1653]

I do hope this isn't rude to ask, but just out of interest, by chance is the mod accessible through console? (Xbox one) Or is the mod only downloadable through PC? I'm lucky enough to have skyrim on both, but since I share the PC with my mom, I figure it would be more convenient to find immersive mods like this on Xbox so it gives my mother some more time on the PC when she needs to find important files for work, studying, etc ❤️

[@ValePlaysGames]

I’m not sure if it’s on Xbox, it’s called The Island if you want to search for it

[@Makujah_]

How the heck did you manage to make the docile centurion to fight the mammoths?😃 Also the dragon was not quite at the right location, he should be a little deeper and off to the side, resting upon his hoard of bones. The mod has a nice little story, somewhat lore-friendly too - you should check it out sometimes

[@ValePlaysGames]

I just saw the centurion fighting haha, may have found a little glitch there! I’ll definitely be checking out the rest of the mod

[@Commander-Ewok]

I've played through this mod a few times. Always took my time doing so in order to get my survival skills and gear up for when I made it to Skyrim proper and because I wanted to find all the secrets.

[@ValePlaysGames]

It was a very fun mod, imagine the quests are quite fun as well

[@Commander-Ewok]

@@ValePlaysGames It's perfect for if you're like me who goes poking into every corner looking for stuff, though on my first go through I took so long to get established some of the crew bodies despawned. Was a bit annoyed to discover that.
