Skyrim Books 1 : Orsinium and the Orcs

[@LennyLenward]

Imagine gopher reading the lusty argonian maid.

[@asd-lj7ph]

Im putting on this playlist on falling asleep to it right now

[@hanansk16]

I do this every night! Only way I can get to sleep!

[@Paehrin]

Someone needs to make a mod with you reading the book when we open it =D

[@nintendolegoboy]

There is already one. It's called "Read Books Aloud" but, someone needs to make a plugin so that they could add his readings to the mod

[@matthewgood1873]

Yea I agree

[@matthewgood1873]

This is great thank you good sir

[@XSilver_WaterX]

The mod is a bit finicky with mod-made books but a lot of the grammar, even bad still works...unless you link it with fan-Shouts, then yikes!

[@touge242]

that accent, those books? yes please!

[@enclavesoldier7315]

***** Man you are really lucky

[@spider-queen]

this is a very old playlist and I'm not sure you'll see this comment, but I had to leave a note of thanks! I have trouble sleeping some nights and enjoy listening to lore subjects, even though you say these are very casual I think you have a nice voice and I really enjoy the sound of your accent this playlist has been very helpful and I appreciate that you took the time to upload all these

[@2014moorea]

Am I really going to take time to sit here and listen to all these Skyrim books when I can just read them myself? The answer is hell yes!!!!

[@MrTerradell]

Read me a story uncle Gopher! I feel really little, being read to again, but I do really like this series.

[@ashlimatherne6153]

I listen to this playlist all the time at work. Love this guys voice! Thanks for this!

[@StarFury2]

Great idea Gopher! Just can't stop thinking how awesome Skyrim mods like "read book aloud" would become, featuring your voice reading those books ingame...

[@maltemson7240]

The Lusty Argonian Maid!!!

[@noonelikesluigi8021]

I have always felt that the developers of Skyrim took all the budget for voice acting and put it into developing books and stories and other immersive things and I am very glad that they did so, if that's true.

[@Smartacus98]

but sadly, in typical ESO style, it's quantity over quality.

[@NannyOggins]

Fabulous idea! Lots of people love your voice, and I think keeping them out of the LetsPlay vids is wise. As you say, many people don't care about books, in game or out! I read all the books, some are pretty good as short stories.

[@ChadKakashi]

You are right. Great stories.

[@GabJero]

Agree. And some are pretty creepy too. I love it

[@LordWardenOfThePrivy]

if I ever kids, i'm just gonna stick headphones on them, and play this youtube playlist. Have fun kids, daddy cant be bothered to interact with you.

[@LordWardenOfThePrivy]

"if I ever kids"? I cant type for the life of me

[@G3orgianSoldier]

Ravanna As well as ever have THEM. :3

[@sickofseeingjustsomeguywit8168]

But you're not gonna read it to them yourself

[@LordWardenOfThePrivy]

@@sickofseeingjustsomeguywit8168 No, we've already clearly established I'm destined to be a terrible father. Daddy needs his alone time.

[@Lizzajr118]

This is a fantastic idea for a series. Don't mean to sound creepy, but you've got a pleasant voice to listen to, hence why I can watch your hour-long play-throughs in one go. I've tried reading the lore before. I read the entire "The Wolf Queen" series, but didn't get much further than that. Please keep this up! I thoroughly enjoyed this video!

[@SilencerNate]

Your voice reading these books is like someone massaging my eardrums. I'm going to keep this playlist for helping to fall asleep at night. You earned a like and sub!

[@KBXband]

I enjoy these immensely! Preparing to binge listen.

[@Zessinna]

I love this idea! Thanks for doing this! I wanted to begin reading books for Skyrim but I feel so overwhelmed with where to start! So many books! Thanks again for making this series. Definitely will continue with the series. :)

[@TheSpaghettiKnight]

Oh my god, I thought Gopher was just joking about reading these books aloud! This surely must be Aetherius!

[@catherinevezina1062]

Dear Gopher, Thank you for reading these books, your accents is perfect for these and I enjoy the tone you take. i imagine you as a traveler of tamriel, going from city to village selling good with your family and when night comes, you amuse the few children of your bohemient group and read the few books you have exchanged for goods that day. Thank you for it ! :)

[@spicymangos8320]

I could listen to these all day

[@Avrysatos]

I wanted something to listen to while cleaning. folding laundry is the bane of my existence. I thought I wonder if anyone read some of the books in skyrim and found this. thank you! you may not be as polished as a pay audio book but you speak clearly and have a decent voice so these are a joy to listen to,

[@RoughThief]

Yes, oh my God so much yes! This is amazing! The calm, collected British accent and the fantastic books of the Elder Scrolls series, with your reactions added on top. This might very well be your best playlist yet. I REALLY hope you'll do all of the books from the Elder Scrolls series eventually.

[@timcarter7660]

I've been waiting on someone to do this. Glad it was you Gopher. Between this and tutorials, my three day drive across the states went by in no time. Thanks.

[@Cuix]

I'm really glad you decided to make this series, and I look forward to watching it often.

[@masserphi2534]

SSE brought me back ! Goph you are amazing and im so glad you actually took the time to do this ! 10/10

[@jcwright8580]

Brushed up on my lore while cleaning the house today. Great series, Gopher. Thanks!

[@ailstedt77]

How awesome was this. I enjoyed that to the fullest. The ambient cavesound in the background and everything. Keep upper the good work.

[@ErikMalkavian]

I love reading the lore books in Morrowind and Skyrim (Probably spent hours just reading those in my lifetime :-D Good job +Gopher !

[@flavioxiv]

Much more enjoyable listening to you reading it than actually reading it in game, thanks a lot, keep up the good work o/

[@MrFreshandJuicy]

Doobie in my hand, headphones on my head, and listening to gopher's soothing voice. This is really enjoying! Thanks Gopher! Really relaxing!

[@johnnydamn3923]

What’s doobie

[@JustDaZack]

Just stumbled upon this series. All I can think of is to do something like this as well, as I think this be a fantastic idea. Really enjoying this and stocked to watch/listen to more of these! :)

[@ApimpNamedslikbak100]

thank you so much gopher i have always wanted a series where somebody read all the books

[@TheJRW1220]

Great job gopher hope you keep up this series...you are more entertaining than most books on tape anyway.

[@dandoumir6638]

Still listen to these every night and have done for 3 years.

[@WodyHG]

I have no idea why, but when I hear you speak, I instinctively sit up straight haha!

[@mursu8822]

I love falling asleep to this playlist

[@asdf7108]

Please read the audiobooks. You have an incredible book-voice. You are born for this!

[@LisaSimpson2]

What a great idea! Thank you sooo much for making these! Have always enjoyed listening to audiobooks on KZbin at night and when I play Skyrim (which is a lot lol) I love nothing better than sitting down in my Skyrim house and sifting through all the old stories lol. Keep up the great work can't believe someone thought of this, well done (may have done this myself if no-one else was). Excellent! Now at night when I'm going to sleep I can listen to these and someone read them for me (I think you did a great job of them your voice and 'acting' is perfect for this and really impressed with your pronunciation considering the weird names and spelling!). Thanks again and keep up the great work! :-)

[@Uptown78]

Some nighttime listening here, always wanted something like this.Thanks for this

[@TheSpacevagrant]

I thought this was a lovely idea, especially since Richard is originally a librarian. It fits perfectly with the character that he would sit and read the books he finds throughout his adventures.

[@chesterstevens8870]

Finally, an sleep ASMR I can get behind.

[@Sandrisph]

Your voice is so soothing and warm. I could listen to it all day long :)

[@HipsterOctagon]

This was great, I hope you continue these. Good job as usual Gopher!

[@LJF7]

This is fantastic, thank you... I love being read to, and really enjoy these.

[@peterstojanov]

This is great man. I actually had this idea while playing the game myself and just wanted to search on KZbin to see if someone had done it... and so you have! Awesome stuff though!

[@NannyOggins]

I’m so enjoying this series, it’s a great bedtime series, because I don’t have to watch it, and your voice and delivery is restful

[@NightWarp]

I wasnt sure if i cared for this.. was close to closing the vid..but your voice and the story was filling me... now im looking forward for the next one!

[@darksand17]

This is awesome, I'm gonna now start reading more of these books. Thanks for doing this and here's hoping you might do more

[@OssSuncrusher]

Bahaha I KNEW in the back of my mind you would start doing something like this! I knew it! And its awesome! Keep up the great and entertaining videos Gopher, your the best.

[@ronniemokeev3322]

Liking this. And I would be very interested in listening on more of these books!

[@jamescorbett2013]

"Hmmm... Gopher's reading the Skyrim Books... might be fun to put on in the background..." *Listens raptly* "Oh my god I need to go read all the books."

[@ryanbalentine7248]

If you were american I would not watch these book videos but british people are so pleasant to listen to that I'm going to watch them.

[@fromthewreckage]

Please, please, please do more!! This was really enjoyable!

[@ErenMortel]

THAT ACCENT THO. HOT DAMNNNNNNN

[@lizzieisbaked]

Ill never understand the obsession with the british accent. Honestly most of us sound common as muck haha

[@Goliath1337]

@@lizzieisbaked Dutch here and yes I don't get it either lol

[@magpie248]

I'm really glad you started doing these, I love the Syrim books :)

[@MrWeedWacky]

I have always been to lazy to read the books, thanks for this. now I can listen to them while having dinner :D

[@MrBrabbzy]

Such a great idea gopher, you've absolutely smacked it mate! This needed to be done, I just never knew it! Guna start reading before bed in my playthrough too :)!

[@w00gedyb00gedy]

loved the vid and the story, more of these would be greatly appreciated. thanks

[@alastryona]

ooh, if I remember I might go to these videos next time I play skyrim!! Having the sound helps me process info so I might actually read the books!

[@Frigeotherat]

I really liked this, I think that this is exactly what Richard would do before he goes to sleep.

[@krozareq]

Love these book readings. easy way to get skyrim lore playing in the background :D

[@Smartacus98]

The message is that when you're using realistic needs, always at too much before going into a fight.

[@pyroAdapt]

I've been wanting to sit down in my Lakeview manor library and finally read these books since its been literally years since I actually sat down and read a book in the game despite always saying I will. 5he thing is I just got laser eye surgery the other day and my vision is still really bad while its recovering so this helps alot lol

[@chrisnewbury3793]

One of my favorite mods of all-time was a house-mod that was a ship called "Legend of the Grytewake". One of the cool things about it was the vast amount of bookshelf space in the master bedroom. I must have had almost every book in the game, arranged in alphabetical, and catalogue order. I'd sit and read for hours. I wish I still had that save...

[@007DjL]

i love this series I've never read books in Skyrim and now i am curious to see what stories lie within. Would love to see these as often as a lets play

[@ChisIordan]

I read some of the books myself, very enjoyable! This one is quite interesting! I really like the way Tunner is aproaching the situation, training the young lord to become a better fighter in order to have him face Gortwog in a honorable duel. This kinda says allot about the orcish mentality wich is guided by honor and respect for their heritage as orcs, ahem orsimer :D. Soo yeah great idee with these videos, plz keep them coming, you deffinitely have a subscriber! :D

[@STS0NE]

Excellent! There are some really interesting books in this game.

[@merleau1]

very cool, would definatly like to see more of these episodes

[@theral056]

It was absolutely fantastic listening to that :) Your voice is just great, and the reading is actually really good! I sure wouldn't read that good myself :D I hope this book series gets continued in the future - no need to overstretch it by reading a ton at once, but inbetween episodes it's sure a nice thing to listen to. Also, good story! The books "Beggar", "Thief" and "Warrior" (a series as far I know) must be good, too! Only found thief so far, but it was amazing to read!

[@MegaManatu]

This is just sooooo awesome!! Bethesda should give him a character in the next Elder Scrolls, imagine walking past a guard and Gopher Voice comments on you being buttnaked, and gently reminds you to that wearing clothes is more appropriate

[@opiumthoughts]

Great idea love reading the lore in game. You reading the books does it justice. Someone mentioned the mod, "Books, Books, Books,Books" differently worth a look at.

[@oneseraph]

Gopher Thank you for the new series Skyrim books. Everybody likes to listen to a good story, it's in our DNA. Sweet, Story time!...

[@TheGreatMrYumYum]

I shall watch all videos like this at night and pretend that Gopher is reading me a bedtime story. That'll help me go to sleep at night. :)

[@blackandwhitesolus9489]

AHHH you actually read the books i thought you were teasing us with your lets play remarks. I know what I'm going to listen to before bed

[@Kaotiqua]

Fantastic! I always feel horribly guilty, quickly leafing through Tamriel's books and stuffing them in my bottomless knapsack!

[@MrBitchimo]

This is good! Cause now I can work and hear the lore at the same time! Thanks!

[@balisticjoe]

I like to think that Gopher reads these stories to his kids before they go to sleep.

[@lintinhere]

brilliant idea Gopher. You might not enjoy your own voice, but the comments on your vids speak for themselves (literally, haha ..), and it seems we're a good bunch thoroughly enjoying experiencing skyrim through you. I'll be looking forward to following this serie!

[@herald0fmanwe]

It certainly makes sense that Richard would read books he found and was not familiar with. He was a librarian, after all.

[@The804R]

I am REALLY looking forward to this videos! No more trouble sleeping!

[@oldbookheaven]

awesome, I will absolutely listen to Gopher reading all the skyrim books.

[@EdwardMonkeyHands]

This is awesome!! I wanted to chill in my home inbetween quests (with Muri and Lydia also chillin) and read up on the lore and the other obscure lil books books I find. Im gonna be doing some more readin as my New years Resolution i recon. Ha!

[@Piromonkey313]

does Gopher's voice remind anyone else of Davos Seaworth?

[@Pebble_Collector]

No, he's not speaking with a Geordie accent.

[@TrollDragomir]

Yes! Yes! I was looking forward to that :D Please, read Dance in the Fire! One of the best TES books series.

[@StefanMajonez]

"This video is possibly the first of a number of videos where I'm going to read books that I find as I travel (..) read some of the lore of Tamriel"

[@bringsegaback]

I'm re-installing Windows completely and restoring all my old documents. This is perfect for it.

[@MrAnthonyDraft]

Loved it! Also, if Richard ever wanted to use heavy armor, then I guess he should keep this book.

[@SinclairDante]

"Don't mess with orcs" love that quote. But if they allow the Breton to choose the weapons of battle he might have stand a chance with Destruction magic and a paralyze spell.

[@gracieannpinker1492]

I LOVE you for this so much. Love to hear you reading. Someone needs to make plug-in so that this is in game. Make soooo many happy people. XXXOXOXOXOXOX

[@GophersVids]

+gracieannpinker1492 Actually there is a mod that does that and I believe some of my book readings are in there.

[@gracieannpinker1492]

+Gopher OK, I don't know how to add 1+1 in modding circles. I still haven't figured out all the keys to Skyrim. "I know you can't hold my hand". I checked, and will have to read to make sure I get it right, I can screw things up big time, without even trying. LOL I do hope I can. I did dnld your bk reading, so now it looks like I convert them. If all goes well, I'll let you know. forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1447628-wip-read-books-aloud/ www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/46088/?

[@KawaiiKodora]

ERMAGERD!!! That actually sounds so cool! Oh I would LOVE that! Well Gopher, chop chop, ask someone for the mod, someone's bound to do it if it's you who asks.

I always meant to read the Skyrim books. Never could be bothered. But Gopher has an amazing ability to turn the most boring things into awesome entertainment.

[@thrustybagladeur8984]

Heheh, this is awesome Gopher! You are an exellent reader. Just enjoy reading the books, and we will enjoy them too. Danke! ;D
