Skyrim, But I'm Stranded on a Desert Island

[@Joov]

This looks absolutely AWESOME. I couldn't watch super far because I don't want to spoil too much for myself. I have to give this modlist a try - By far my favorite channel rn

[@FormerlyBlue]

Yo thanks Joov, that's super kind of you! It's a really cool mod, and I think there's another one called Chanterelle that's similar. I'm partway through your lootbox video btw, that's a fantastic playthrough concept lol.

When will you be releasing it sir?

[@rebeccahogan876]

I love how your character takes the time to light a fire using tinder and striking sparks off of a rock when you have a spell that lets you shoot flames out of your hand

[@IIKafka]

Lmao

[@TheZintastic]

It's MAGIC fire! It doesn't work at wood!

[@atsukki]

you can in fact use magic, but you need destruction 20, thats just mod's requirement

[@sordidcrypt]

Depending on at which point in the Formerly Blue Cinematic Universe this takes place, Gjeoffriehy's reign of terror has probably spread to the other holds. Staying on the island was the right choice.

[@FormerlyBlue]

lol I love that.

[@FalconHicks]

I’d bet gjeoffriehy is not just spending his time as a landlord anymore. he might trying to buy or rule over all of Skyrim one day, then the whole world next.

[@plaidpvcpipe3792]

Gjeoffriehy actually caused the apocalypse.

[@shandaw796]

You should make another video like this it's pretty good 👍

[@kit-san4846]

I love The Island. I've started some of my favorite play throughs here. Fun fact, both the cabin you stayed at and the cabin with the sawmill also has an entire farming plot that used shovels to activate so you can make your own farm than just using the planting plots. There is also a few hidden quests you can find here, not just finding the crew. I see you had the option to make Amakai's Amulet, so I imagine you found some of them.

[@wizardlyfrog]

Can't wait to see what those two plots are about, and you dying to falmer again.

[@inkdheart]

As a veteran Skyrim player, your videos are the exact mods and challenges I'd play if I still could. Unfortunately, I had to make some changes and playing Skyrim no longer fits in my life. I miss it sometimes, but your videos are a healthy way for me to feel like I can still play. I appreciate it 💜

[@FormerlyBlue]

That's great, I'm glad I can help you out!

[@aclown9127]

i feel you i was introduced to skyrim by my cousin when it first came out and i was like 4 yet now i can’t play because im too busy working 😞

I never knew there's mod like this, it's so amazingly immersive The way you can craft simple axe with branch?

[@makeshiftusec992]

Maybe not actually there but gaming is as close as it gets

[@syndura]

The Dwemers must have had amazing woodworker's for the wooden dock to be still standing and not be a pile of rotten planks...

[@kayn9651]

I would definitely play this on an Argonian character. - Not just for water breathing but also resistances that are useful in Survival with Realistic Needs. Also, having three planters there for 10 potatoes was nicely calculated. First you plant one, and harvest it. Then you plant that one, and harvest two Then you plant a third and keep one. Then you just harvest three potatoes three growth cycles and have exactly 10.

[@justiciar1964]

Go from The Island to Chanterelle to Shattered Skyrim for the ultimate long-term survival experience.

[@JamesonCycz]

I seriously love the twist of just deciding to stay on the island at the end.

Thanks a bunch!

[@arishok5091]

Love the video and the mod! However, I find it a bit weird that you have to light the fire "by striking a stone" while you are literally a walking flamethrower.

This vid, and your Shattered Skyrim vids, have earned my Sub. I'd like to see a melee run in Shattered, though its obviously a great undertaking!

[@Tinkatube]

Interesting mod combination you found! I'll have to try it out sometime.

[@YosiahW]

This was such a great video! I love hard-core ironman style challenges, especially in Skyrim. 12/10.

[@guabirualado2726]

This model of video is really working, God bless you man, I hope you can make good money out of it and live like a true gamer

[@Myrtana1]

I discovered your channel through your videos "Skyrim - but badly translated" which I found so entertaining and funny. Especially because of you and the way you're playing. You took the game and the NPCs serious no matter what nonsense they talked which made it even funnier. And here I see that this is the way you are and it is a pleasure to watch your videos because the viewers can see that you are having fun as well. Stay as you are and good luck for the future and your channel - may it "live long and prosper". PS: This mod is fantastic and I will definitely play it in the near future (the same as your "Skyrim Farm Simulator which you filled with life too).

[@FormerlyBlue]

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you're enjoying :)

[@dantebayer919]

i hope you do a part 2, because there are a few quests left that are very interesting, and i found a single jarrin root for some reason, so that could help for something.

[@skezeksskybreaker5425]

I haven't played Skyrim in forever. Was testing some mods out with Live Another Life and seems good for a real playthrough. I was thinking of starting on the Island but I also saw Chantrelle has somewhat of a similar theme. Not sure which one to try

[@Commander-Ewok]

I played through the Island on a character several times over thanks to tinkering with my load order and I explored it pretty thoroughly, honestly the place is perfect for a survival/camping game setup since it's a perfect place to practice. Add in the 'Dynamic Magicka and Stamina' mod and the custom perks for camping and Frostfall and you can get a decent amount of headway on your survival skills before getting to Skyrim. On a side note, there's a few things I could mention for future reference: There's a woodcutters axe next to the Ruined house up the hill from the docks as well as some stumps you can interact with that can then be used to make chopping blocks by the hunters cabins. If you take too long to explore the island the explorers bodies will despawn, found that one out the hard way. Find a shovel and you can set up farmland by certain hunters cabins and if you get firewood and pots you can light the fireplaces for cooking and warmth. Just my pointers that I didn't see covered in this video, I hope you continue this as there's more to uncover on the Island.

[@xiii5909]

i love this random floating tree at 5:31 , it reminds me of my own save...

[@FormerlyBlue]

Lol yeah, the island is a weird place!

[@Ryntra7]

I don't know why, but your vocabulary is so clear that it sounds almost ai generated during the voice over parts. I honestly can't tell if it is or not, but the real time voice over sounds real.

[@Ryntra7]

Update: i found out. It took me way too long to figure it out.

[@CanisMythson]

I love this alternate start mod, especially when you have things like Campfire and can make your own equipment, given enough time and hunting some resources.

[@elnogal9298]

If I have just one complain about this video is the lack of numbers to represent the days. It was great that you included them in your farmer one.

Fair, that would've been a nice inclusion. It's hard to find a good place on the screen to put labels like that though without them overlapping with other stuff too much.
