Can you live as a Normal Person in Skyrim on Survival Mode?

Can i Survive Skyrim as a Normal Person, on Survival Mode and Expert Difficulty?
Check out my latest video: • Skyrim, But I Build my... - Part of a new series, I think it’s my best one yet
Thanks to Joov, Jabo and Spiffing Brit for some major inspiration! Looking forward to making more challenge videos on Skyrim, Fallout and Starfield :)
Hope you enjoy my first video, would love any feedback so i can improve. If you enjoyed it'd mean the world if you liked and subscribed :)

I think a great addition to this playthrough would be the Skyrim Unleveled Mod. It makes it so that the world doesn't level up with your character, and instead enemies are fixed at a certain level. It makes it feel that you are a part of the world, instead of the world revolving around you

[@ValePlaysGames]

That sounds like a great mod! I might use this on an upcoming series, I’m nodding so I won’t be Dragonborn in that and this would definitely help

[@XBOWTOTHEFACE]

my first play through in skyrim (after watching my friend play) i did the run as a lvl 1 necromancer and didnt level up or become dragonborn, lived at the ladies house across from riverrun. basically just played the game i wanted.

Acting like some random person in Skyrim can be one of the most entertaining things you can experience. Starting as a lowly miner, up to getting thane hood in a city; then finally getting your first house. May take dozens or even hundreds of hours, but it sure is fulfilling completing it.

I enjoyed this, though I think your definition of a normal person and mine are slightly different (Jaree-Ra). You helped Faendal with the false letter to Camilla supposedly from Sven. Before you mentioned feeling evil, I wondered how he felt when you hired him, then married Camilla. Serves him right for his lying letter, but you'd better watch your back. And Faendal was one of the three people attending your wedding. You felt bad for what you did. I felt bad for laughing.

Trying to live a "normal life" in Skyrim? You can try. But as everyone finds out, there's no such thing as "normal" in a world like this. The call for heroism is strong in Tamriel. The random encounters, bandits, giants, dragons... they aren't going to just leave you alone. Even if you stay in one place, they'll keep coming after you. Because being a chosen of Akatosh, one does not shirk responsibility.

[@ValePlaysGames]

[@thomasgriffin420]

My latest play through in modded Skyrim (when I’m not playing Morrowind, Oblivion, Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3 and Tears of the Kingdom) is an older Altmer who is a reformed ex-Thalmor refugee who although a powerful mage and skilled swordsman lives a humdrum quite life with his wife and kids on Goldenhill Plantation and Breezehome and does what he can in small ways (such as radiant quests for people) to atone for his atrocities committed (which included killing his once best friend who was a member of the Blades) in the Great War after becoming disillusioned with the Aldmeri Dominion.

The farm is critical for survival mode. Maybe you can use a mod to make tomato plants growable, and you could grow tomato, potato, leek and cabbage for vegetable soup. Also for potions, scaly pholita, creep cluster and blisterwort makes for a powerful fortify illusion/carry potion. All 3 ingredients are growable and really help with leveling. Combine that with a rich merchant mod and you get some serious ca$h

[@ValePlaysGames]

did a challenge similar just just did allot more restrictions and was on legendary survival...super hard and very rewarding. just cant fight anyone though. basically had to farm deer/elk, rabbits and any thing that was a beast to level up my bow. then to level up my shields literally had to let crabs beat me up while i ate cooked food to heal up. also to add i was only able to start crafting and actually learning how to make potions i had to find recipes. reading books about things too that would allow me to level certain skills. some odd reason adding restrictions made the game allot more fun for reruns of Skyrim.

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed! That wasn’t meant to be in the final edit funnily enough haha

Good video. I love skyrim. My favourite game.

This is amazing! I was shocked to see it’s your first video! I’m so excited to be on the lookout for new videos on here! Perfect chill vibe 👍🏼

[@ValePlaysGames]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed! I’ve got a similar series on the way, but my next video is far from chill haha. Chaos mode in Skyrim

[@christophcooneyoff]

I watched the whole video, didn't skip a thing. I even watched all the ads through to make sure you get that sweet revenue. And to find out this is your first video!? Wow, outstanding mate. Never subbed harder. Really enjoyed.

[@ValePlaysGames]

Thank you, really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed 😃 Hopefully my newer videos can entertain just as much

[@jackkirk1160]

I love this content and your voice sounds genuine and is really nice none of the fake online voices you hear Edit: I can't believe this is your first video too bad I won't be able to binge loads

Came here from this video being on my recommended; I don't often click on most of them because they don't interest me, but this one intrigued me as it's something I have dreamt of doing but never really did in Skyrim. And the video is incredible! Succinct, fun, and your voice is very soothing and gentle; pretty much everything I look for in longer-form videos when I'm not looking for intense and loud stuff (and especially after today! I had a tooth extraction and loud videos have been causing some pain, so finding this video has been a godsend lol). You've definitely earned a subscription from me, and here's to hoping more of your videos gain traction so that you can have a wider audience because these videos are incredibly well-done! I've already seen your Starfield video also on my recommended, so it seems like it's going to happen, and I'm totally excited to see where your channel goes from here. Off-Topic slightly, but is it cool if I ask what mods you're running besides Survival Mode (or in this case it looks like sunhelm possibly?), if you're cool with sharing? I know some creators aren't and that's totally cool if you aren't either; if not the entire modlist then at least the mod that allows you to build farms and such? I'd love to add it to my own load order :O

[@ValePlaysGames]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it! Glad I could help distract you from the pain for a bit! The only mod I used was the Alternate Start to get the Dawnstar start, the farm is part of the anniversary edition of the game 😃

[@R1SKYB1Z]

Sick concept dudev thanks

Check out my latest video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2ebnGCGgLZnkLcsi=g5OS53vbkqkxARsL It’s a fun experiment on Starfield, trying to break the ship builder with my ridiculous designs

[@Ionfwthesehoes]

Make more Skyrim RP content, don’t miss the opportunity, a lot of people including myself and friends are getting back into Skyrim heavily. Idk why, but it’s such a classic. And Skyrim RP is great content!

[@ValePlaysGames]

@@Ionfwthesehoes I’ve got a very good RP type series in the works, looking like a multiple episode type one as well so should be great

[@bonefetcherbrimley7740]

[@Rabijeel]

You can. I would recommend Alchemist as well and have Smithing as Hobby. I mostly build up a Life and reputation before triggering the first Dragon. You know, the Usual, 3 Manisons run by a Personal Huscarl producing Alchemy Goods and some Weekend Homes in the other Cities. Always look at Alchemists and Vendors for Canisroot and Imp Stool mainly - makes Paralyzing Poisons allowing you to make a fine $$$ or have a very easy Win in a Fight. Health Pots grant no real Yield in Money selling them not in usage compared to a poisoned Bow. Paralyzing Poison sells for Way more - about 20 Times. And that Boost does apply to the gain in Alchemy Skill as well as Value determins the Gain. That same applys to Smithing as well - Helmets are overall the easiest when also boosting Enchantments weightwise, but Torso Armor is the best as you should Upgrade them as well - that is where the real Gain comes From in Terms of Skillprogress - as the Destruction Boost is pretty easy to obtain and yields good results.

What mod did you use ???

[@herrlichee1713]

This was a nice and relaxing watch. I have always wanted to do something like this, but scared of failing super quickly lol.

[@ValePlaysGames]

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching! You should give it a go, it’s quite safe until you start quests haha. If you’re just doing normal things you should be fine

[@Raszcal]

This is great mate, keep building your channel!

[@ValePlaysGames]

Thank you! Got plenty more fun ideas on the way, hopefully can keep getting better with each upload 😀

[@the..clownsguy]

this video was great!!! the only thing that was a little off was the lack of background music in the in-between parts, i think a little low-volume bg music could help it feel a little less empty when you’re speaking :) excellent video!!

[@ValePlaysGames]

Yeah I’ve started doing that in my newer videos, and made sure my voice audio is better! My editing skills weren’t great on this one, hopefully you enjoy the others as well 😃

[@aryanchaudhary8901]

Amazing video man no annoying edits and really cool voice keep the good work up and ur be big in no time

Thank you! Hopefully the quality keeps stepping up as I get better, but glad you enjoyed so much!

[@louisimission2153]

Good stuff there, nice video - would love to see You expand on the normal guy living in Skyrim idea, its a winner

[@ValePlaysGames]

I’ve got some ideas on this, maybe restricting myself to specific roles like just loot from fishing or mining. Will just need to test if there’s stories I can get from that, it’s definitely on the radar though! Thanks for watching as well, glad you enjoyed 😃

[@louisimission2153]

Nice, cheers for the vids 👍 Think of the kinds of people You could make, a bit of backstory and idiosyncracies for the characters would go a long way. Looking forward to the next one cheers pal

You’ll be happy to know my next video is the start of an RP style series! Mix of some action packed episodes, and more chilled out! Glad to have you on the channel 😃

[@SilentEvil97]

Awesome video! I really liked it! But, I cant deny that I feel like in the moment you started the Lighthouse quest you pretty much stopped living a "normal life" and just started playing regular skyrim lol. Even went down the sneaky archer build. Regular common folk live in one city...and stay there...sometimes their whole lifes. Without ever having the need to raise a sword or even owning a full plate armor. They dont "take quests" I would love for you to revisit this challenge and do just that. Live a normal life in one of the holds. Buy food. Pay for the inn. Work on the mine, cut wood, farm and repeat for lets say 30 days in game time to see what happens. The challenge would be to see if there will be enough food to buy/eat? What happens if the hold is attacked by a dragon or vampires? Etc. Keep it up!!

[@ValePlaysGames]

The normal was more the fact I wasn’t Dragonborn, and if I died that was it. But i didn’t really explain that well haha. Hope you enjoyed though! My newer videos might be more what you like with building

[@americandissident9062]

I started a survival mode playthrough a while back as a Nord, a former legion soldier who was born in Skyrim, who lived for a long time in Cyrodiil, and then returned to Skyrim. I played basically as a regular dude who was just taking jobs that people would pay for. Eventually my guy finds out he is DB of course, and it leads to adventures. But the "regular guy" roleplay can be pretty fun. I made bookoo money chopping wood in Riverwood.
