Can You Beat Skyrim By Only Bow Bashing?

[@FatalHog]

My favorite bit from these videos is presumably very tired and overworked script nerbit writing these, only for well rested and awake recording nerbit to question what exactly went wrong with those spelling errors.

i like to imagine the reason for the damage glitch is that drawing the bow makes your enemies expect to get hit by an arrow, so smacking them in the face gives you a bonus for the a misdirection

[@bandanimals3710]

I like to imagine he's just pushing the arrow into them with the bash. Like some kind of fucked up nail gun.

I imagine that he's using the energy stored in the string, as well as the arrow's sharp tip to increase the bash's damage.

[@deliciouschicken]

I imagine bow bashing does accomplish the task of beating, yes.

If I had a nickel for every time a KZbinr beat Skyrim by only bow bashing I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s odd both Nerbit and Ymfah did it.

[@purplehaze2358]

"Plus, one of the effects of his bow is that he can draw it faster, meaning I have to be vey quick with my bashes, or I'm going to take an arrow straight to the head" You're playing Skyrim and you managed to avoid making the 'arrow to the knee' joke. Respect.

[@mothballcharles]

You know, the extra damage glich makes a lot of sense because you'd be bashing somebody with a loaded bow.

[@pacmonster066]

I mean no part of hitting somebody with a loaded bow causing extra damage makes sense. A bow is only "loaded" as long as you're pulling the arrow back on the string and holding that position. If you tried to melee somebody like that all that would happen is the arrow would pop off and not be fired. The arrow head by itself is not deadly enough to hurt anyone dressed in clothing so it's not like there's any benefit from a tiny point sticking out of what is essentially a stick. Not sure why anybody would try to rationalize a funny glitch in this manner. It not making sense is why it's fun to do

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

@@pacmonster066 and here I was imagine "loaded bow" has the same meaning as loaded dice or weighted gloves. Basically a bow with lots of material added to make it heavier.

[@pacmonster066]

@HappyBeezerStudios ...why? "Loaded" in the context of a bow means with an arrow. A loaded gun is a gun with bullet in the chamber. *Any* projectile weapon that is "loaded" means it has its projectile ready to fire.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

@@pacmonster066 because it's a video about bow bashing

[@pacmonster066]

Love seeing actual skyrim challenges. Too many channels that their skyrim challenge videos are "watch me do the fortify restoration glitch for 10 minutes for the millionth time so the challenge is essentially pointless" Keep up the awesome work man!

[@morrigankasa570]

​@@Nerbit13098An interesting full game playthrough/build I would love to see you do (includes civil war questline, all the black books/dragonborn questline, dawnguard, and etc), would be Ice Queen Build. Basically only Ice Magic, Stalhrim Weapons/Armors as final setup, and being a Nord Vampire Lord. Though another idea I would like to see is that complete playthrough as an Illusion & Restoration Master only using Illusion & Restoration Magic while being a Thalmor Vampire Lord. Finally, I have played Skyrim many times and have never done the Peace Council wussy nonsense. Instead I have always completed the Civil War Questline before that point always siding with the Stormcloaks.

[@thusadragon]

I've run into that same sound glitch you had in the Thalmor Embassy. I believe it's the sound of flame traps spewing endless flames. I've had weird things "carry over" between interiors before, like Kyne's Peace glows from another interior's creatures hovering mysteriously outside the walls. I suspect that something was sitting on the flame traps in some dungeon, probably Ustengrav, and the game remembered that it should be making the sound at those coordinates but forgot to limit it to just Ustengrav. That's my best guess after thousands of hours in this beloved mess of a game! ❤

Hey Nerbit, brilliant video as always. If you're interested, i have a challenge for you.

[@Pie_Romancer]

I love your weapon restricted runs. Its quite fun to see you make a build around your single fighting style and maximize its effectiveness. One im curious about is beating Fallout 3 with only the minigun.

[@ruthlesace]

Biggest problem is finding ammo. Might be alittle more manageable in New Vegas because of the ability to craft bullets.

[@apanzerofthelake4021]

​​@@ruthlesaceyou can craft ammo in fallout 3 via the ammo press after completing the Pitt DLC. The problem would be getting the minigun passed the main gate, however you actually can get your equipment passed that gate. Follow all of the steps that Trapped in Fallout shows in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZKToomifJ2rgNE Following this might lead to the DLC not progressing and ultimately softlocking you to the Pitt as none of the quest npcs will enter dialogue with you. This may seem as a dead end at first, however if drop all of your gear after fast travelling passed the main gate the quest should update. Thus allowing you to keep your gear and absolutely trivialise the Pitt.

​@@Nerbit13098 did you start the quest for the peace council or finish certain objectives for it before attempting to bypass it via the Civil War questline? cause you should be able to bypass it on the Empire side as well. could also just be a bug, Bethesda loves their bugs.

@@Nerbit13098 The actual trigger for skipping Season Unending is one side having eight holds, i.e., you would need to stop right before finishing the final quest (for either side)

I know it doesn’t help with this video since you can’t hit anything with arrows, but you can also do the arrow damage glitch immediately after shooting the bow to.

Skyrim Minecraft Challenge; you must only use items you craft yourself; No looting, No purchasing, not even materials; you have to gather those yourself. You can loot the pickaxe, fishing rod, and woodcutter's axe you need to get started, but everything else you use for combat MUST be crafted by you, with materials you gathered yourself. The only horse you're allowed to use is the dwemer automoton, as that's the only one you can craft. No fast Travel. You must construct a fully functioning house and only use that one for your home, and optionally, add all crafting stations. Then you must complete the main quest with only weapons and armor you crafted yourself from materials you mined/gathered yourself. Any gold you need to complete these goals, like buying the plot of land for the house, must be purchased in true minecraft fashion; with emeralds. Mine them, refine them, sell them without making jewelry. Alternatively, you can sell other things you've made, as long as you do not purchase any gear, potions, food, or materials, but you have to keep all septims as emeralds untill you have to spend them, spending them all into emeralds at, say, kahjiit traders, or general goods stores. You MAY purchase training, but again, only with emeralds you mine. Alternatively, you can nix the purchasing training all together for extra challenge, or mine and smelt gold bars instead of emeralds for less challenge.
