I did this tons to earn a bunch of money in vanilla Skyrim and then bought a bunch of stuff to exploit the enchanting and made a necklace that increased health by Minus 1 million 4 hundred thousand 1 hundred and 23 and then made some gauntlets that increased unarmed damage by insane amounts and then I just ran around with a necklace and gauntlets nothing else and absolutely destroyed everything

I've actually done this for a mage character. I cut wood to pay for magic training lessons and spell tomes, learning magic the honest way. I ended up at 90 to all magic schools. My dragonborn was basically a well trained student of the College of Winterhold with "years" of diligent lessons and hard work.

@@misfortunate116Well, you can basically level up your skills by paying npc trainers. I loved wandering skyrim from towns to towns to find the right mentor for the skills I wanted to grow, paying them with septims from woodcuting. I ended up in the college in Winterhold after a while, where the teachers can level up your skills to the most advanced level, which a local mage or healer can't do. Usually you level up magic by using it in combat or wathever, but I decided to only pay for the lessons, to mimic a student learning magic by studying hard. Since my character was from humble origins, I decided that my job to pay the lessons was woodcuting. That was a lot of fun and truly rewarding.

I'd absolutely love a campaign like this! I'm gonna have to make a note of that for a future casual campaign. Currently we're doing a homebrew mideval "rise to power" "raga to riches" campaign. I want my players to end as the richest, poorest, strongest, or weakest and be know for their own deeds and as a group. Wanna become a king after you've defeated the bbeg? Well then, you're adventure isn't iver! Choose your royal path: tyrant, benevolent, pacifist, warlord, etc. And embark. Control your kingdom and make choices that may affect your kingdom My plan is for this to be a forever campaign that changes with time and integrates different ideas and other campaigns, as long as it matches the vibe and fits within my systems and the world rules

One of the ideas I have is a Kobold who wants to actually live to be 120 years old and start a sort of adventurer tavern. His reason for traveling is to better his brewing and cooking skills. His main method of making coin with the party? Helping out the local tavern and filling the party's belly. He might dabble as a ranger or rogue but he knows what his end goal is: to retire with his own business and live a long life and raise many a kobold baby to be happy and safe

Reminds me of my hunter character. All he does is hunt animals, sells the pelts or crafts crafts armor. Also on survival, he also is an avid fisherman. He spends a lot of time around Whiterun. Sometimes he has to defend himself, but actively avoids combat if he can. He has a house just outside of whiterun and lends a hand to the farms when he can for extra coin. It’s really fullfilling to me for some reason. When he finally wanted to venture out and build his own home, he traveled to Falkreath, it was a dangerous journey, but he evebtually made it, and took a job from the Jarl. He wasn’t a fan of mercenary work, but took the job with prospect of owning land of his own. He snuck is way to a mine in the region and stealthily took out the bandits. He returned to the Jarl and was finally able to own Land of his own.

I think Douglas should still have the Sundas off You know, to go out and fish, or maybe even do a hunting trip for some meat. Not for coin, but for the meat to eat, and Leather to use as clothing. Would not be to far fetched to at least have a fishing trip once a week, to have him unwind from his bleak day to day life. Still in character, it could be his hobby. Just do it only on Sundas. Or every second sundas, depending on your timescale adjustment. Also: Try out the "Faiths of Skyrim" mod. It has so many deitys to chose as your god. Zenithar would be a really good fit for trade and work based RP characters. The mod could really perk up your RP storys since there is literally a god for any type of character

I actually have quite a few playthroughs where I start off like this, I start off wandering skyrim, looking for work in lumber Mills and mines, fishing and hunting as side hustles. Just exploring and living in the world, eventually I'll take missions to deliver things, which will be my first introduction to combat, I'll learn how to defend myself decently on the road while doing stuff. Then eventually I'll move into mercenary work. And then pick up the more major quest lines from there. Instead of making a backstory for my character, I actively play and role play the backstory of my character before he becomes adequate enough to save the day, and rise to the prophecy. 😅 Ultimately though, videos like this and the playthroughs I'm describing always make me wish that Skyrim had a more hardcore survival mode right off the get-go. Like I wish that was standard practice for bethesda, because when you actually get a really nice mod list or something like fallout 4 survival, where a few mods can just make a world of difference, you start to see the amazing potential to fully get immersed in living day by day in the worlds that Bethesda creates. It even got one of my friends to fully enjoy the building of fallout 4, I recommended him two mods as well as the survival mode, and he finally enjoyed building bases and expanding. Survival mode with a few rebalances got someone that hated building to like it. So to me that stands as a testament to the power of survival modes being a gateway to fully appreciate a game, it can be just what you need to translate something that you don't enjoy, to something you do enjoy.

There's quite a beautiful message that comes with this sort of video. Skyrim doesn't have the best story, or the best combat, it's not the most well-crafted game by a long shot and after you play for a long time it can get a bit repetitive. Once you're the Dragonborn, the Head of the Thieves' Guild, the Archmage of Winterhold, Listener of the Dark Brotherhood, Master Vampire/ultimate vampire hunter of the Dawnguard, bearer of all daedric artifacts, slayer of Alduin and the superior to Miraak... it can feel a bit void, empty, pointless. But then you see someone who decided to not play as any of those things, he's just a one-eyed woodcutter with a dream, and with a few mods and a funny video idea he's out here doing this sort of chill yet unexpected run that explores such an absolutely minuscule fraction of this game, making it the center piece of your gameplay and making a character whose whole purpose is that. And it works, thousands of people are watching this because this resonates with us even though we likely never played the game this way and never will. That's the magic of Skyrim, it's the opposite of "less is more," it has so much stuff that would feel pointless to 90% of players but just adds that little bit of flavor to the whole world, to incentivize roleplaying. Sorry for the rambling, I was about to write even more than I already did but I caught myself in the middle of it and stopped before this turned into a massive essay no one sane would ever willingly read. I was just getting kinda cynical with Skyrim after all these years, I've played many games that I still believe are much better than this, and while I became quite critical of the game, I could never bring myself to actually dislike it, nor could I ever put into words why I still actually loved it so much aside from things like nostalgia, bringing me to kinda deny my love Skyrim without really knowing why. This video helped me rediscover my reason to like this game, and for that I thank you. It's also really relaxing to watch you play this way, it brings me a strange kind of joy in watching the simplicity of your character's humble life, kinda like for the couple minutes I'm watching this man cut and sell wood to get his windmill everything is right in the world.

I just wanna say that I would watch any video you make! Even if you redid some older videos, did a regular playthrough, a playthrough the way you wanted, or life as well…whatever! You’re videos are entertaining off your personality not what you do in the videos! Thank you for what you do and always trying to improve your content, i truly appreciate it.

See, if you were playing like a true Nord, you'd kill the first elf you find, and steal his land, house and woman. You'd have your own lumber empire before noon, even if it meant you couldn't get archery lessons anymore.

Another promising series has began! Taking a brief break after completing Life as a Miner, before I start watching the Life as a Lord series. Your series were fun and interesting, and it has been my constant source of entertainment for the past few weeks. So far I've finished Alchemist, Healer, Normal Life, Vigilant and Miner. Left Fisherman halfway cause I can't get over Darkheetus' death and Merchant still in the holds. Thank you very much for the fun, wonderful videos! Looking forward for more series to come!

I used to watch your videos back when you made the first Life as a Beggar series. I love your commentary and always wondered what you were going to roleplay as is the next series. Something I thought was funny was if you played as a riekling. I have no clue how you would set it up but I always thought that if you did a series like that, it would be amazing and I wouldn't be able to look away from the screen.

I did a similar chilled character. He was a hunter/fisherman nomad. He never crafted, always bought what he needed by selling the pelts and fish he gathered. He avoided combat with anything that wasn't an animal or fish, if he got attacked he would attempt to avoid/runaway first and ONLY defend himself if they left him no choice. A bow, some arrows, and a fishing pole are all the weapons and tools he used. Moved from hold to hold every 5 in games days and only went into town when his inventory was almost full to sell his goods. He had to sleep every night and eat 3 meals a day. I used the free creation club content for the tents, backpack, and survival mode but thats all. No mods, it was actually really relaxing and fun to not worry about all the quests the game shoves down your throat and just enjoying the simplicity of the game
