Trying Your Dumb Elder Scrolls Ideas

[@Joov]

Hey everyone, Thank you all for making 2023 such an amazing year. I wanted to do one big last project before the end of the year. Hope you all enjoy! The mods I’m using in Skyrim as well as Morrowind are listed in the description along with today’s tracklist. I also wanted to send my condolences to the fans, friends, colleagues and loved ones of Mitten Squad. Without Paul, the passion that many of us have for challenges, limited runs, and other goofy content in BGS games simply doesn’t exist. They were a brilliant writer, a dedicated worker, and endlessly creative. Mitten Squad was a pioneer in this space, and an inspiration to so many of us. We will all miss them dearly

[@razztastic]

It's still hard to believe he's gone. I remember that he passed, and each time I also think "What? No he isn't, I was just watching one of his videos the other day." It's weird how the preservation of a deceased person's work almost makes it seem like they're still alive. It fucks with you.

[@pedrogonzalez5340]

Exactly this.

[@gameasaurusrex5217]

He is the reason I truly fell in love with fallout and the elder scrolls series and is the reason I'm here on this video. me and my cat used to cuddle up and watch his latest upload together, and now it just feels weird to no longer expect a new video to come out. I recently started a new playthrough of Fo4 in his memory R.I.P The Legend That is Paul of Mittinsquad.

[@basedgebby5820]

I honestly don't have the words to describe how good of a creator Paul was. Between his choices of games and his all too genuine personality, he took an over saturated genre and made it his own. From his witty turns of phrase to taking potshots at himself, he turned an otherwise copy/paste niche into a genuine product of passion. It's utterly heartbreaking that he's gone, but going just as his career truly began is about as Paul as it could get. Rest in peace you beautiful bastard.

I just want to thank you for the memorial for Paul. He was a huge part of my life and has inspired me to do things and try things in ways that other people hadn't and I have missed his content terribly the last year+ and will miss him and everything he makes. For the 1st time in my life I know what its like to have felt the impact of the creations of someone that you have never met and the fallout of losing someone you've never known and it is devastating. No matter his personal struggles he was a great creator, a funny dude and one of the best, original, creators in the challenge running scene and I hope, wherever he may be, he understands that he was loved and he will always be remembered.

[@YoolingMaybeh]

I don't know if you're still soliciting ideas, but here is one I've attempted and pulled off twice and it was fun, frustrating, tedious, and nail-biting all at the same time. Save Bleak Falls Barrow for later in the game. I suggest at least level 20 so you get some tougher enemies spawning in the starter dungeon. Proceed through the dungeon normally until you come to the first trap room, the one with the rotating pedestals and the big ominous handle dead center. Everyone of course already knows that as you approach the room there is a bandit already in there and he's scripted to walk up, pull the handle, and instantly die from the poison arrow trap unless the dragonborn aggros him (in which case it's just a normal bandit fight). Your challenge: Make it all the way through the dungeon, obtain the dragon stone and the word of power. You may not attack any enemies with spells or weapons although you may creatively use traps as you are able. The bandit in the first trap room must survive, and make it to the end of the dungeon with you. I'll leave it vague how best to do that because discovery is part of the fun. (I have never been able to do this as a lower level. Getting your bandit friend through the swinging spiked gate trap alive when he gets one-shotted by it is really hard. Best bet is to trigger it yourself so it swings right past your nose and then sprint through with him following as it resets. Good luck!)

Probably as for so many other people here, Mitten Squad was my gateway into the challenge runs genre as a whole. Seeing the names of his videos and thinking to myself “what kind of a crazy maniac would do those challenges and why” sent me down the rabbit hole of what has undoubtedly become my number one most favourite youtube niche, and led me to discovering Joov, Jabo, Micky, LilGasMask, Nerbit and many other channels that I love. Paul’s last community post gave me a lot of elation and hope, filled me with reinvigorated anticipation for the next absurd escapade he would get himself into. Because of that, the sudden news just hit so much harder. But, I’m quite sure that the last thing Paul would have wanted is for us to pointlessly weep over who is not coming back. So instead, I am really glad to celebrate with this mammoth of a video the memory of Paul and what his work means for me and, hopefully, for all of you too. The real game was going on all along!

The real game will never be the same without Paul, but he is like the tutorial hero that dies and you need to avenge

Mitten Squad was one of the things i flund during lockdown that helped me get through those isolating months. I was able to laugh until i cried, and the world feeled like a much more manageable place. I think it's beautiful that his fingerprints are seen in all over this "challenge" in the BGS games community. Even for those who cover games outside of it. He wasn't the first, but his style was pioneering. I hope he rests peacefully. Now, the real game begins.

Paul will be missed, rest in peace. And also, Marry Christmas Joobert!

Paul kept me distracted in hard times man, truly one kind & creative soul no other person could match

What happened to paul?... i thought he was just going through the drinking problem.. Edit: just found out. Started crying uncontrollably at 3:52 am while my fiance was trying to sleep. We are all going to miss you Paul, and you will forever be in our memories and be a role model to us with the challenge community showing we can overcome anything we put our minds to. You will forever be a role model of mine.

I believe he passed away from pancreatitis which was related to his drinking. His family didn’t officially release his information so we will never know for sure but we gotta respect their wishes

" Forks are kinda... someone else's thing. " And now I'm sad about it all over again... It's always the coolest and nicest people that have the worst demons... I'm sorry, Paul...

Nothing better than a Joov video the day before Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone and have a happy New Year!

Hey Issac, just have to say, at 15:20 that’s a legendary and subtle sneak in edit of the Enderman teleport sound when the Giant warps over the fence gate. 😂😂

[@sparkywayne6766]

Rest in peace paul. Now the real game begins.

The entire time Joov was min-maxing his stats Vivec was polishing and preparing his milkfinger.

It's crazy that he passed. I've been watching Paul since he created mitten squad.

[@kodyhayward4901]

I’ve loved Paul for so long, and I found Joov through him (youtube recommended). I was wondering if Joov would say something and truthfully this one genuinely broke me. I love you so much Joov

Sad thing is, I still get mitten squad video suggestions makes me reminisce
