Skyrim, But I Survived the Apocalypse

[@FormerlyBlue]

Thanks for watching everyone! Please leave a comment if you want to see more attempts of this challenge -- featuring new twists and post-apocalyptic add-ons each time!

The most obvious mod for the DRAGON BORNE is to Help the Dragons return to power, defeat the armies of the bipeds, and help the World Eater eat the world... which would lead to a new world, a completely new map, with all the races (or all new races) enslaved and serving their Dragon overlords, with the dragon mask dragon priests back in power. Since the dragonborn has a dragon soul trapped in a biped body, his/her main goal will be to return to True dragon form.

[@kraatarin8226]

I liked how realistic the ending was. In the time of the apocalypse, it takes only a slight misstep to end any hero's journey.

[@pointblank2890]

The best permadeaths are the ones that make you regretful that you did things better or did things different RIP Survivor. Another one lost to the Apocalypse

[@arandomcommenter412]

By misstep you mean a literal fucking 6 feet drop

[@golden-scales]

​@@arandomcommenter412tbh that ending was bullshit. i know it was trying to be realistic but that was SO fucking stupid. how could you die from a fall like that?

[@12ush.]

I love this comment because, although I read it before finishing the video, I didn't even take note of how much of a foreshadowing your use of the word "misstep" was 😂

[@mattjk5299]

Reminds me of Project Zomboid. It doesn't matter if a six foot stumble is "unlikely" to kill you. It's something that you probably shouldn't do. You can probably jump down from a second story or vault while running over a fence or push your way past a couple zombies.... You'll probably not die to a single scratch, you'll probably not get bitten in that fumble with your weapon. But you really shouldn't risk it if you can help it, and if you do, there's *always* a risk. With games like this you put EVERYTHING up, and outside of a total and obvious glitch, well everyone has to make a judgement call on what's fair

[@connor3284]

Falling about 8 feet, turning your ankle on a rock, and breaking your skull open against the cliff face is a pretty realistic death.

[@Tyler-q3k]

Yeah, fall damage go brr! That's why I never play anything with permadeath, it's just to much.

[@jbark678]

The idea of an enemy seeing you and running away to get reinforcements is really good. Adds a new consideration to the gameplay.

[@ultikrill5554]

It's pretty annoying in practice when you don't play an archer build. Enemies that are bulky as a truck decide to run away to bring like ten more, just as strong enemies you have no shot against. Because they're both too fast to catch and too durable to take down in time you're instantly forced to abandon whatever shelter you were planning to use which gets seriously aggravating with how often it happens.

It's very impressive, but I honestly just hate anything that makes a game HARDER, call me a filthy casual but I like winning things WITHOUT 50 things making things harder, the mod is still kinda cool though.

He has to endure 97 days. Then the world ends.

[@raph3699]

I’d love to see more of this survival adventure. It seems so easy to turn this into a story for the ages. I’d love to role play on this mode

[@Valentine_iii]

It’s really cool that they turned the Jarls into bosses/mini bosses instead of just being tough Draugr or nonexistent.

[@happyorder]

I liked the way you presented the mod in your playthrough. It actually made me get immersed in the world a few times during the video. Keep up the good work!

[@Diablo_Himself]

@@erinw.9256 Is it satisfying to kill everyone without a fight, in a fighting game?

[@erinw.9256]

[@abhilashsridhara6343]

I hope you do a full run. While perma death has its appeal, seeing a whole run in such videos is much more satisfying. Thank you for the video

[@ProjectDT88]

I would love this as well

[@Diablo_Himself]

Yeah, permadeath is always shit.

[@Tyler-q3k]

Yeah permanent death is kinda the antithesis of video games, and while I see the appeal, I think it asks to much out of normal players who actually wanna have fun.😅

[@Tyler-q3k]

​@@Diablo_HimselfI KNOW!!! it's pointless! Especially in modpacks that SPECIFICALLY make the game HARDER!! RRRREEEEEE!!!

[@tystimyr]

That was very entertaining! I'd sure like to see more episodes of this :)

[@FormerlyBlue]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tadhgbohan5716]

​@@FormerlyBluedo the mods work on xbox

[@marymuir8735]

there's quite a few add ons for alternate skyrim now - forgotten knowledge, dragon remnants, ghosts of the past, haunted, forbidden goods, ebony warrior, classes, LOTD, hirelings, horror of morthal, human enemies. I like adding cave style player homes like falkreath cave house and hidden hideouts.

[@FormerlyBlue]

Yep, I'd like to feature some of those add-ons in future attempts!

[@maxrander0101]

its what has always made the mod one of the better ones for the game as i mean playing through the Helgan part over and over is so boring that it at one point made me never want to start a new game but with this mod i can start each char with a different start and using the meet your own chars i have the best followers as they are the way i built them with all the items they had when i last saved them to that mods hall of heros and even with this mod that mod works so you can have a group of followers with you if you set them all to a point you know is safe and combined with AFT it also means you can have more than one of them with you which helps when you mess up and enter an area where your likely to get messed up as you can set them to only be able to be killed by your char which i admit i have done once or twice with AOE spells but hey no mage is perfect

[@bstybyz3]

You got me sitting here for an hour after the video thinking about general implications to the world. Did Miraak conquer Solstheim? Are the Vampires holed up in their castle? Has Dawnguard Castle become the last Living settlement in Skyrim? Is it possible the College of Winterhold escaped into Blackreach?

[@BellaDovah]

I loved this! Your commentary is incredible. Sad to see it end like that so I really hope you attempt it again😊

[@FormerlyBlue]

Thanks for letting me know you want to see another round!

[@urbanexotic]

Loved it! Would like to see you give it another go and see more of the post-apocalyptic Skyrim and how far you get.

[@FormerlyBlue]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@bartekzkartek]

The atmosphere of this modpack is jaw-dropping! I'd love to see what you'll cook up with future post-apocalyptic videos

[@CommunistHydra]

Yea, I would be curious to see what enb and flora mods he is using

[@skeletonhearts1837]

Since a lot of people are noticing this, I want to clarify on behalf of the creator that the reason AI narration is used in the video is due to the creator's tendency to stutter. The AI uses samples of their real voice, so it's still about what you would hear if they themselves were speaking, just without the stutter of course. The creator made a video going more into depth about this, which I would recommend you search for on the channel if you'd like more context.

[@shreetus9092]

Yeah I was watching and I had a feeling the voice was ai

[@dard1515]

I was hoping for something like Frost to come out for Skyrim. This seems thematically appropriate too

[@Krvptify]

Yoo! Love that you made a part 2. If I may, there's another mod (kind of) similar to this called Chanterelle, it's a huge new world space with minimal NPCs built for survivalism. You should try it sometime!

[@FormerlyBlue]

I've heard of Chanterelle; is it finished? Is it compatible with other survival mods?

[@Krvptify]

@@FormerlyBlue I never knew of it being in-dev, but the Xbox port looks good so I'd imagine it's playable on PC, as for the survival mods, assuming you mean iNeed, Frostfall, and Campfire, the MA pretty much says they're necessary to experience the mod properly.

[@NuclearCorvidzSkullX0X]

this is just like my dream where I bought someone's old game and played it, when I loaded in I was in a giant fort named after the original person player, as I explored I couldn't find anywhere for a while. Eventually, I found a small group of people that I took back to the safety of the fortress, Farkas, Brynjolf, Yarl Balgruf, and a stranger in a cloak who didn't talk to anyone, no matter how much I asked no one would tell me what had happened though. one morning we found we had run out of supplies so I went out searching for food, after days of searching I came upon falkreath but nearby was an unfamiliar tower, I went up it hoping to find it abandoned but a cloaked woman was walking around, as I was stealing her supplies she noticed me and walked up to me, I don't remember most of what she said but the gist was that she was the last of her temple there and that there are eight other temples but she can't reach them through her seeing crystal so she sends us on a quest to track down the other temples and bring those survivors to her alongside the survivors at my little fortress, annoyingly she only laughed and asked if I was kidding when I asked about what happened to the world. that was where the dream ended, I'll update if it gets a part 2

[@TheOnlyApostle.]

[@FormerlyBlue]

Thanks; glad to hear it! I think I like the permadeath aspect too much to get rid of that, but if I had a really short attempt I'd probably include multiple attempts in one video.

saw this mod when it came out two or three months ago and im so glad to see a video covering it. looks great man, quality video

[@tobyriver7962]

This was awesome, super engaging! I’d love a part 2 Edit: I think doing non-permadeath (or maybe like… you get 5 deaths or something) could be worth it, realistically, to try to make it so we actually get to see through to alduin.

[@dapidizme]

Recently had my Skyrim interest spark again and I found this video. I was so engrossed in it not just because of the mods and gameplay but also because of your commentary. Awesome.

This video is really inspiring for video ideas. Using mods to completely change Skyrim is nothing new but the creative set of mods here is perfect. Great work my man. I’d love to make my own sort of video on this topic. I’m thinking of uploading a similar thing if you don’t mind. I love Skyrim and have been looking for some unique ways to play it and you really have created something cool here, I’ll be sure to credit you!

[@PwnageSoldier]

This is really cool! I wish there was an add-on mod that would work like PZ deaths; you carry on in the same world as a new character, and can find your fallen hero and reclaim your gear; but lose your levels and skills

Thats because it is an AI voice, but it's actually sampled from their real voice. The creator uses it because they have a pretty prominent stutter, so the AI allows them to make higher quality videos than if they were to do the voice over themselves.
