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

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.

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

The mod I used was also a bit too punishing. I always chose not to use fast travel other than carriages and boats too, so them adding no fast travel as part of survival mode is awesome. My favorite part of survival mode, though, is just the flavor text explaining how you feel. Walking into a building and seeing "the air here is warm and you now feel comfortable" is so cozy

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!!

Playing Skyrim as a non-dragonborn bard with some survival mods was one of my most favorite gaming experiences. Had a mod that turned off character names until you met them which made things pretty immersive too. Didn't care about the main story at all, just spent a lot of time doing side quests for people on my little journey that ultimately ended 50 hours in with a nice home and an adopted daughter I found in the thieves guild after I killed everyone there. There's something quite nice about playing as someone who isn't "Le chosen one" again. Not starting with a massive intro but instead just in a tavern. A lowly adventurer.

[@ValePlaysGames]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed! I do have a couple of other videos out, and some great ideas on the way 😃

[@johnny5805]

I haven't played Skyrim for 12 years, I had no idea it had a Survival Mode ! Excellent !

[@ValePlaysGames]

It was a mod originally but added it officially in the anniversary edition of the game, well worth a look at

[@slimpwarrior]

I don't think a normal person would be able to snipe every enemy so easily nor know how to use magic

[@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 😃

Harvesting and selling vegetables to farmers raises their disposition towards you. In the game files they go from neutral to friendly and then allow you to take some stuff from their home. When you see the blacksmith of Riverwood, if you followed Hadvar, you'll be able to take stuff from his house after he sends you to Whiterun. You can take gauntlets and boots and a dagger I believe on the table, the 10 ingots next to the workbench and stuff from his house. I always just take everything I can from him so I can craft some armour or something. It gets you a nice headstart.

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

[@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.

[@XBOWTOTHEFACE]

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. I hope you had fun and had a blast. will most def watch more vids when you post them. subbed for sure take it easy Vale!!

[@ValePlaysGames]

Sounds like a very difficult one! I don’t think I’m a good enough player to survive that type of run haha

[@Sarahizahhsum]

I just got recommended your channel and am very impressed. Some things I liked a lot: Very chill voice, calm demeanor Story line was simple and immersive, very easy to follow Just enough mods to make the video entertaining Not too short, not too long in video length Keep up the good work. I will be watching more of your videos. ❤

[@ValePlaysGames]

Thank you for all of the feedback and kind words! I’ve got a very similar series coming out soon which ticks all of those boxes again hopefully 😃 (Just a bit more modded but nothing crazy)

[@wookie_au7542]

This video taught me you can sprint in Skyrim, I'm playing now, at level 20 and have practically jogged/walked the whole map! Wondered how you were moving so quick.

[@ValePlaysGames]

Glad I taught you something new! I’ve been learning a lot I didn’t know playing through recently

[@tahliamay6880]

I did the same thing when I started. The first time I accidentally sprinted blew my mind and I was about the same level as you

[@UrfriderPoro]

Turning Skyrim into peasant difficulty will definitely be my next save file. This motivates me to perma death and prevent saving outside Inn or Home.

[@ValePlaysGames]

These challenges are a lot of fun, quite nice just living a quieter life as well

[@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

[@micshaz]

That thing where things arent stealing is the disposition mechanic, do quests for shopkeepers and pay attention to the displayed items

[@ptime5612]

I haven’t even played Skyrim and this was super entertaining. Nice job!

[@ValePlaysGames]

Thank you! I’d recommend trying it, the game never gets boring

[@contessa.adella]

You don’t HAVE to fight out of all situations like with Deeja in the ship…Often you can simply run for it. I enjoyed following this tale…I might try similar when my current long haul challenge completes (I like Legendary play, no magic, no potions, no followers and complete all nine major questlines back to back while suffering no deaths to my char….it is meant to be hard and a death means a restart at level one). Cheers 👍

[@ValePlaysGames]

I should have run, would have been a lot less stress haha. Your playthrough sounds fun, you must have a lot of patience to do that one

Can I live like a normal person in Skyrim? -Crafts a bunch of complex armour. -Steals a bunch of stuff. -Goes on quests, fights a person with a sword and forges a letter. You have a slightly different view of the normal person's life than me, my friend. Seriously though, I think the concept for this video was interesting but I think you probably should've put a few more limitations on yourself. As it is, it really kind of feels more like just a video on "Can I play Skyrim on survival mode?" you know?

[@ValePlaysGames]

Normal was more in the context of not Dragonborn, but I do have a plan for a heavily modded series which adds some of the limitations you mentioned! I think crafting and stealing can still be in though, plus fighting in Skyrim is common
