Can You Beat Skyrim As Obi-Wan Kenobi?

[@gaussman3369]

Here's a fun idea: beating a Fallout of choice without the letter e. This means no weapons, armor, Chems, food, or healing items with the letter "e" in them. Example: Plasma pistol is fine, but plasma riflE is not. Exceptions I can think of are quest items and items automatically placed in your inventory, like the DLC packs from New Vegas. Other than that, no restrictions. Have fun!

Its how Ulfric does nothing for the Dark Elves of Windhelm, and honestly? I cannot for the life of me, betray Jarl Ballin' Ballin' by sieging Whiterun, in the one run I ever did of Skyrim as a Stormcloak, I felt immense regret after Whiterun, and never felt good with the run afterwards. The Empire has its faults, but Hadvar was always respectful, and sure Ralof is as well, but Ralof didn't exactly speak up in our defense, nor did any other Stormcloak. I get why Ulfric didn't, but he also cheated in his duel with Torygg by using the Voice, so...

Describing your character as "Okay-Wan Kenobi" was actually kinda clever.

[@kevinman12335]

Always love seeing a new Nerbit video come out. Just gonna throw out an idea that I'd love to see! Do you think you could possibly beat Skyrim using only shouts? 🤔

[@isaacbeeby2528]

You really should have joined the Dark Brotherhood and done their questline. What better way to play Skyrim as Obi-Wan Kenobi than assassinating The Emperor?

[@ragedgrunt]

Honestly it's lore accurate even if you think the stormcloaks are evil, jedi weren't exactly kind either. COUGH COUGH* child kidnapping COUGH*

[@ComfyCherry]

The stormcloaks are rebels so while they don't seem to have noble reasons for overthrowing the empire they do fit in being rebels

9:40 sooooo... sense when was the password subscribe my brother?

[@Kelseywartooth]

Did anyone else notice the option "subscribe, my brother" when speaking to the door at 9:40? That was well placed!

[@nutwit1630]

"But the Stormcloaks are evil!" Yeah? The Jedi order was also evil. They just lost to a different evil guy

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

Fighting a defensive style as you did at some points actually very much fits with Obi-wan anyway

[@burge117]

I mean you are Nerbit...I guess I can let you joining the Stormcloaks go, just this once haha! Great video man, hope your next few weeks go well!

[@Ohshit-qw4bw]

The dragon slaying animation with the lightsaber gave me force unleashed flashbacks

All Hail to Ulfric, you are the High King!

[@JackClockerinos]

Yo nice of you to reference Lor San Tekka; always happy to see him pop up in the SW universe

[@evanf1443]

I’m not about to judge you for choosing the stormcloaks, don’t worry. I don’t really see why people would see the stormcloaks as evil. Skyrim was pretty good in my opinion about keeping the two main factions pretty morally ambiguous. You can argue either way with neither being obviously “evil” and both being arguably misguided.

[@kookbook4399]

The changes that happened to your character were probably the most unintentionally hilarious thing I've seen for a while

[@BaronSterling]

If y'all think the Stormcloaks are the "evil" option, you don't know your Skyrim lore.

[@Kirasupporter1]

Imperial arguments always come from some form of consequentialism. They completely ignore ethics and operate from a very inconsistent understanding of right and wrong

[@decimation9780]

That’d be the Thalmor. Bunch of zealot knife ears.

[@blaumoth7360]

@@decimation9780 technicly a stormcloak win would be good for the thalmor, it weakens the state of the empire, same reason they made such unfair laws during the concordate the thalmor wanted rebellions to start in the empires land, so the stormcloak rebellion is technicly just good thalmor planning.
