Can You Beat Skyrim as Hadvar?

[@MomoXMercy]

im here to endlessly watch every skyrim challenge on youtube

[@selfgaming1456]

Same

[@gidzgud]

Same, honestly. Thanks for the comment!

[@ICCUWANSIUT]

At this point I've probably gotten two legendary tallies on my watching skill for these

[@gidzgud]

Only if you grabbed the Lover Stone@@ICCUWANSIUT

[@GreatOldOneCthulhu]

Beating Skyrim as M'aiq the Liar would be thoroughly enjoyable. Anyway, I can almost guarantee that this chanel will hit it big eventually.

[@gidzgud]

Oh yeah, I think I would have to lie for the entire narration, haha. Thanks, thats a high compliment, I'm just gonna keep putting out ideas! It's been really fun having people watch and comment with ideas.

[@Ugarimpty]

Not "lie" as in being mean or anything but a bit like Usopp in One piece, you know more than what people think, and even answer stuff like you might know the world is just a fiction made to entertain higher beings. You're definitely high or lying to their eyes, but you've never been closer to reality for the players.

[@morrigankasa570]

Yep; although another fun one would be, can you beat Skyrim as a Poisonous Lizard. Play as an Argonion and use primarily Poison.

[@ariconnor9357]

I’d love to see Ulfric or Tullius. Great video per usual. Keep up the good work

[@gidzgud]

Both good ideas, might have to pickpocket them for their outfits, haha. Thanks for watching!

[@CatchTheMarmosets]

@@gidzgudjust install the mod room that gives you all items and grab their clothes, u cant pickpocket them and if u wanted them youd have to do the entire civil war questline

[@Shoebil]

No lie, i had a crush on him when he said "He's not on the list" 🥰 then he helped me escape Helgen. What a man of action.

[@gidzgud]

I've always thought it was cool how he's respectful to you no matter which race you pick, he has something unique to say to everyone.

[@Shoebil]

@@gidzgud exactly, quite attractive of him!

[@VoriksCousin]

I would guess Hadvar would carry a sword gained by service with pride. However, for some runs taking quest rewards might not make sense, I see it as a case by case decision depending on the character!

[@gidzgud]

Fair enough! I guess if its a run meant to be difficult, maybe not. If its just for fun, maybe take it and see. Thanks for watching!

[@derekrauschendorfer1972]

Keep up the great content my guy, I'm so happy to see a newer channel playing my favorite game of all time and making new and fun challenges!!!!

[@gidzgud]

Thanks! I plan to keep making videos, stay tuned!

[@laurieavery9530]

5:10 The stone was supposed to be a map of dragon burial sites as mentioned by Delphine just before she sends you up to Kynesgrove and it's said that Alduin was raising dragons starting from the Rift northwest across Skyrim. Would of been better if the stone had zero significance because it would of been one less conversation with Delphine.

[@gidzgud]

Ah I didn't know that, that's interesting! Poor Delphine, always getting in the way and annoying everyone.

[@mancamiatipoola]

Yeah, so the second time i got the dragon stone i examined it and realised it is a rudimentary map of Skyrim with some points on it. So i got an idea. I took a screenshot of it and of the paper Skyrim map from Fartengar's office and i overlayed them in Photoshop. I made some dots which i placed on the old paper map. Then i started to go in game and look for these locations like an Indiana Jones guy. As usual, the writers of Skyrim were bosses at dropping subtle hints and i found that most locations took me to some draugur catacombs that had a word wall. Some i didn't find, but i did find some large rock formations in the area like maybe there might have been a cave entrance at some point. Im guessing since the stone map was so old, since the dragon priests were still around hundreds of years ago, some locations may have become ruined or collapsed. But it is cool that about 60% of the dots lead to actual draugur catacombs. I mean, sure i could have gone on the wiki to look for all the locations of the word walls, but doing that research and modification in photoshop made me feel like a real tomb explorer. :) The reason Fartengar asks for the stone is so he could mount expeditions to find the word walls and learn the dragon shouts himself, or at least document them. He learned about the stone from some old Atmoran scroll that he read a while back, but could not convince the jarl to assemble a group of men to go treasure hunting since they were in a civil war at the time. Then he finds you. :) I still have the picture, i wish i could show you here, but oh well, YT.

[@aleksandry.7213]

I laugh way to fucking hard at these videos and your commentary great job man 👏

[@gidzgud]

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it. It's a lot of fun making the content and talking with a bunch of people that love Skyrim in 2023.

[@jackbear1632]

11:08 battle of solitude???

[@gidzgud]

Haha you got me there, definitely not raiding solitude with Tullius! Good catch.

[@muhammad_soa]

Your channel is so simple and I find it weirdly wholesome

[@gidzgud]

Thanks, I'm just one guy so things stay pretty simple here.

[@Meowsketeer]

I think it'd be awesome if you played as the thief that seems to show up in every run of yours, also I think you are very underrated. Cant wait for the next upload!

[@gidzgud]

Thanks for the idea!

[@dudedude5001]

I love small channels, always better quality vids. Hope youll get big soon keep it up!

[@gidzgud]

Thanks that means a lot!

[@anormalishperson4153]

YAY you took my vid idea!

[@gidzgud]

I'm always writing down the suggestions I get! I think I had at least 4 for Hadvar, haha. Thanks for the comments!

[@katzenhund03]

Amazing video, just when I was thinking about rewatching one of the old ones :D Would be fun to see you do a female character next, maybe our beloved Delphine or Lydia? Could be fun to run around as any follower honestly :D

[@gidzgud]

I appreciate you watching them all! Lydia is definitely getting suggested a lot, but not as much for Delphine! I would definitely have to take out Parthuunax.

[@VoriksCousin]

If Delphine were the dragonborn... 😰

[@katzenhund03]

@@gidzgud Nothing wrong with a little power fantasy every now and then xD It's so rare to see someone actually do the Blades quest, and I think you could pull it off fantastically!

[@morrigankasa570]

​@@gidzgudI think beating Skyrim as Serana would be the most interesting.

[@opelfopeltoe6088]

nice video! i appreciate that there isn’t really loud music playing in the background all the time

[@gidzgud]

Thanks! Yeah I watch a lot of content on my second monitor and that can be a reason I turn off videos, so I have just been using game sounds.

[@opelfopeltoe6088]

@@gidzgud I used to listen to a guy do pokémon nuzlockes called flygonHG while I went to sleep, but over time the music got so loud on the videos that I just couldn’t any more. I feel like skyrim is meant to be relaxing and comfortable so videos on it should give that vibe as well and yours do

[@michaelritchie5829]

[@cvoltzz]

I love your videos, I always watch them at work.👍

[@gidzgud]

I'll try and keep it down so your boss doesn't hear. ;)

[@KDC93]

I hate Ulfric Stormcloak so much. He wants independence from the empire because he doesn't want to bow to the Thalmor but a broken empire is exactly what the Thalmor want.

[@gidzgud]

The more you listen to what he's saying, the more suspicious it gets, haha.

[@lordedmundblackadder9321]

@nerdtodayskyrimI would be a bit more sympathetic to Ulfric “freeing” Skyrim if he wasn’t an absolute monarch. He’s not liberating anything, he’s just replacing one aristocracy with another.

[@gidzgud]

That's how you know a character is well written, there's a good argument for either side.

[@ICCUWANSIUT]

​@@gidzgudI agree, I think a lot of people put down ulfric as a bad character but I think he's quite well written when you include the environment of the game and his past. In comparison the Empire is really the only thing you can compare as a "well written character" since tullius and the officers aren't as fleshed out, and Elisif is more of a supporting character.

[@FriendlyGhost-rf7tq]

@nerdtodayskyrim it is more like that he wants to be a new empire to have all the power to free Skyrm is just a excuse

[@Thomas_The_Thermonuclear_Bomb]

Another banger! The change in audio quality is quite noticeable. If I may suggest, a bit more upbeat tone and volume would really help your commentary!

[@gidzgud]

Thanks, I'm trying! Are you saying overall the volume should be higher? The constructive criticism is helpful, I'm still trying to get comfortable in front of the mic so I will keep that in mind!

[@Thomas_The_Thermonuclear_Bomb]

@@gidzgud Yeah, your mic volume should be higher, and I think your overall tone, if a bit more emotional rather than sounding exactly like you're reading from a script. Your work is coming along great!

[@amilavxilmen5632]

Skyrin challenges are good for binge watching

[@skylordthe1st]

I always loves his jokes my fav was "we went off without saying thank you to the host very rude" and that dis I'm marvel and I'd like you to do a forswarn challenge

[@gidzgud]

Thanks! What would a forswarn challenge look like to you? Just their armor and weapons? Or certain quests?

[@skylordthe1st]

@@gidzgud well frist off you should play as a breton because fun fact they are the only cool ones. And you should only where there armor and use there wepons along with the magic they use if you want although only the briarhearted ones can use them so I think that will be a neat thing to do kill one so you can use it to cast magic. Of and for quest you have to do the Forsworn conspiracy which is fun in its self and then do the main quest and they are very into nature you if you want you can do the blessings of nature quest. That would be awesome

[@gidzgud]

@@skylordthe1st good ideas I'll add them to the list!

[@Lydless]

ive sided with the imperials so few times (0) that i literally did not know the dude you escape with was the dude who says who are you LMAOO

[@gidzgud]

I've got to admit, Hadvar might be more of a heartthrob than even Ralof. I know, crazy.

[@morrigankasa570]

You can follow Hadvar and still join the Stormcloaks. You can follow Ralof and still join the Imperial Scum.

It makes more sense if can you use gifted items (from the empire in this instance) but for some reason I just don’t feel like it works for the themed runs Also for the ultimate challenge do you think it’s possible to play as Nazem

Yeah for some reason I just can't bring myself to use them, maybe because it's more interesting the less power you have. Haha Nazeem has been suggested a few times! I need to decide what the conditions for that run would be.

Hm, how about "Can you beat skyrim as Isran"? (If you don't know, there is a mod called "extended presets" it would help you a lot) Another idea for a video like this is to do the quests of the Dragonborn DLC and defeat Miraak.
