actually the one with astrid killing her in the shack was intended as a choice, notice how she says well done when you kill her, she was the intended target who had the contract on her head.

[@5226-p1e]

i have been playing FO4 quite a bit but i noticed something, in skyrim all NPC's have follower dialogue regardless what NPC you use, when forced with mods or via console they all have generic follower dialogue, but in FO4 they have none of that, they pretty much go silent as there was no dialogue recorded for that kind of thing in this game, so you can't even properly play with an NPC that you want because they just go mute and they also don't reuse their other dialogue. it's so weird that bethesda offered that in their skyrim game but just didn't offer that kind of thing in FO4 as if the player would ever want that, in skyrim i can make any NPC my follower and they either have the generic follower dialogue or they reuse their dialogue and say the same shit over and over lol. they just made skyrim better in that way i guess. it's kind of a inconsignificant detail but it matters because sometimes the player just wants to have some player choice in the way the game is played, like having kellogg as a follower or something.

Elder Scrolls can only be read properly at a specific time and place by a specific person, they are quite literally fixed to destiny. To someone that is not ever meant to read it, it blinds them (usually), but the Dragonborn just gets flashbanged since he still has to be able to read later

[@TheFinagle]

This is the same for when you use elderscrolls in Oblivion (Which I think you can only do at quest events, but concept still applies) The player shouldn't be able to safely read or use them at all, but the scroll recognizes the hero's path your on and will not hurt you permanently because you have a destiny to fulfill - one that is foretold by the elderscrolls themselves.

[@SecretData001]

In previous games, it is just a fancy history/prophecy book. Todd just stupidly gave it the function to flashbang people when he made Skyrim to make it cool and make you feel special with the ability to read it

[@ГеоргийКириллов-э5ж]

One of the books you can read in-game titled something like "The effects of Elder Scrolls" touches on that. It says that people go blind from reading them without special preparations, but if they do not understand what an Elder Scroll is or what it's used for, that effect is significantly reduced (they get flashed like dragonborn does). So, getting blinded is for the nerds.

[@TheFinagle]

@@SecretData001 Oblivion had the lore of people going blind but you never got to open one yourself, only watch NPC's open them at specific story moments. The game blocked you when you tried - probably partially because the special effects were harder to pull off then.

[@neoqwerty]

@@SecretData001 technically the ones you read are: fake, created by that bastard falmer vampire -- remember he brags that he invented a fake prophecy solely to get a Daughter of Coldharbour to him (so it's probably artifacts of Molag Bal that mimics an Elder Scroll, no wonder VIGILANT had Molag Bal create a fake Amulet of Kings to give to Marukh, then), and an Elder Scroll (Dragon) that was likely tampered with by Dwemer until they could read it with their machine, and "reading" it opens a spacetime rend for you to peek into, which is not something the scrolls should do, more something that Dwemer fuckery plus an unmended time-wound would account for.

[@Baalslegion07]

But sometimes he does it pretty often. I wouldn't call it soft-breaking either, but he does definitly have a chance to take like 4 to 5 souls one after another making you feel like dragon fighting isn't really worth it. Also, depending on how far in you are, dragon fights might not be that common yet. It happened to me in my first playthrough, I fought deagon after dragon and he just stole every frickin' soul. I definitly thought the game was broken. Little did I know I had just bad luck, but that still sucked majorly.

[@nickyliu8762]

Yep, happened to me too on my first playthrough. It was still very early in the game. I couldn't progress the story, because I had no dragon souls. I killed over 20 dragons and he took over 20 of them. I got one dragon soul out of 20, because I thought that time the game glitched and Miraak was supposed to get them all. So I had to kill that mf Miraak severely underleveled and defeat him Dark Souls style. I just thought, the game was very, very badly designed.

[@Baalslegion07]

@@nickyliu8762 Yeah, this just sucks. I think that they intended people to meet him much later, but the nature if the game does allow you to meet him way too early, making the fame a living hell unless you play through his storyline. I mean, if you start it and get to the point at which you meet him, you will have to struggle mich more. Then, if you dont his cultist assail you as a random encounter and they aren't exactly weak. So you either have to deal with frequent battles or have to basicly go through the entire DLC to not have to suffer through endless dragon fights ending with Miraak taking your souls. So in a way, the game is badly designed. Yes, the chance of him stealing the soul might be low, but it still happens a lot and can soft-block you for a good part of the game. An the quest is called Dragonborn so new players will of course think its patt of the main quest, especially with how long it is! If you just get a full edition with all DLCs, you probably wont have the knowledge of all the DLCs and what they do. And for me the worst part is the horribly glitchy final fight afainst Miraak, where he can basicly just turn invincible, by staying in his ethereal for forever. It is tricky and annoying to get around this bug and it happens quite often. So initially you think thats how it is supposed to be and dont realize its bugged, making you run around the arena, until you see that it's bugged.

[@aralornwolf3140]

@@Baalslegion07, The bug occurs if you pretty much reduce his HP below the _hard coded_ amount he'll heal by with his dragon soul... so the game gets stuck in a loop of him "healing X hp" but can never reach the "full HP" which ends the animation.

And then eventually it became common knowledge to be a true thing about the god, that he actually ate soup with a fork. So there's two levels of funny there. See what I mean? Two separate jokes.

2:30 bro was committed, what type of grudge did he have

[@AngryAndy]

If you go ever go back to the abandoned shack and check on the victims you didn't unalive, they'll still be there. Apparently the brotherhood reuses them for future initations as much as possible.

[@Jimbobiscuit]

Man that Dragon REALLY hated that guard huh

[@DanielHernandez-mv6st]

If you pick pocket Astrid and get caught she'll stand up and attack you

[@blondemaverick]

6:40 - Had this same scenario happen! Thought the game was crapping out. Turns out... it's just a... feature...

[@chocolatemilkshake303]

I guess it took him a few minutes to process and realize, he’s kinda talking to a werewolf. I know im 5 months late but thats Bethesda for you lol

[@olvustin6671]

I love how you just aggressively showed the fork to his face like "Now do smth"

[@Ceriu]

when you chop Delphine freaking S tier. Also the "flying" wizard was just so broke inside he could say anything...

[@TheTrueWheatley]

The flying wizard happened to me three times. I think it's only on Solstheim, it's a reference to a random event in Morrowind I believe.

[@meph1570]

"what? oh nooooo!!!!" "yes?"

[@waywardjoker6061]

In all my years of skyrim I have never once had the flying wizard interraction

[@foureleveniv-xi7666]

That was 🥶🥶🥶

[@thecatfather857]

"Ysgramor! You died without taking your special soup spoon with you into the Afterlife!"

[@seannoll2032]

I think it's fair to say the developers didn't fully think through illusion magic

[@danbauer3669]

No commentary but still very funny. What would commentary even add? Great video.

[@clobzz]

that guard is destined to get yeeted off of dragonsreach no matter what you do, damn

[@darosilvertail7957]

Propably the same with that one imperial soldier grabbed by Alduin in Helgen, heh

[@Sergey42615]

In fact, he can be saved, I've tried different ways. Here's a working version: He survives if you turn him into another creature with a wabbajack, then the dragon does not take him to the sky. That's really what came to my mind, I haven't seen it used by anyone else. Note to those who are interested: The ash shell does not work on the guard in this case, because he does not take damage directly. He simply moves from a living state to a dead one according to the script, and invulnerability does not prevent this.

[@derrickjac]

The flying wizard bumped his head and had amnesia. It all went to plan.

[@Phoenix-sc6di]

The calm spells alone are enough to utterly break the games strings, especially harmony.

[@DaniEIdiomas]

I remember seeing the trick of saving the high-jumping wizard already from TES 3. Didn't know there was another one in Skyrim

[@DragonRider-pj4qs]

I didnt even know mirak could go all the way to skyrim to steal the dragon souls. I thought he was locked to solstein. Granted i always stayed in solstien till i beat miraks quest

[@leyrua]

I absolutely love when I get stopped by a highwayman when I am in werewolf form. I just imagin them jumping out from around a corner, and beginning to deliver their line. Then as the dawning recognition of what is in front of them blooms, their voice gets shaky and higher pitched, but they just keep talking because their mouth keeps moving after their brain freezes up. 😡 "All right, hand over... your... valuables, _oR i'Ll gUt yoU LIke A fiiiiiiSH?"_ 😱

[@christophertaylor9100]

It was very kind of you to return his spoon

[@garmagictes5399]

0:48 To be fair, he could be lying about the spoon thing. He had no proof of it being the real thing.

[@MrBern91]

Lmao... Was about to say that Bethesda did indeed think about killing Astrid early on... But then I realized, yeah... It's indeed strange that you would report it to any hold guard other than the affiliated. Although... Penitus Oculatus is in fact their own faction within the game said to act independantly from the Empire. So it does make a little sense how all the holds in Skyrim would be made aware of the fact that they're looking to disband the Dark Brotherhood, no matter who these holds support as high king/queen.

[@jazzochannel]

it would be kinda sweet if someone altered or added some quest stages to address some of these issues.

[@stevet6975]

Reading scrolls part, oh they thought it through for real with those effects

[@toomuchsaiyan]

Miraak did this exact thing to me on my first playthrough

[@GhostCryProductions]

Have you considered: Ysgramor didn’t like drinking broth?

[@mikesdynasty1]

When I first saw miraak absorb a soul my mind was blown. That reason alone was enough for me to do the entire dlc quest line just to kill him. THAT WAS MINE!

[@AxelHenx]

i feel that

[@findout-YGO]

it's the same deal with dawnguard, first vampire attack they killed the whiterun smith and I was like "NOOOOOO, MY LOOT SELLER!" then did the whole dlc just to kill them all with fireball spam

[@gojiberry7201]

The Bleak Falls Barrow ones cracked me up

[@BatkoBrat]

Quaranir just wanted to get some of that sweet juniper berry mead and get hammered in peace.

[@SamanthaS92]

I’d like to kill the guard that Odaving grabs and use voice of the emperor or calm on the people, see what happens.

[@SamanthaS92]

@Rainbowflicker 250 I just want to see if he has no one to grab… if you move them Odahving just flys off track to get him.

[@TopGameWorld]

Nothing will happen. The dragon will just attack you with usual animation

[@danbauer3669]

@@rainbowflicker2504 they're not real people. True morality does not exist in video game worlds. They are digital play things. There is no suffering, no fear, no death. It's all a digital illusion. Try to not be so sensitive.

[@tackion5371]

Bandits negotiating with werewolf’s how inclusive

[@MidnightVCoco]

there is cut dialog where miraak can be a follower. WHY THEY REMOVE IT I DONT KNOW

[@darosilvertail7957]

Because he is antagonist and from personality standpoint why would he follow someone inferior to him if even all dragons are inferior to him, even Alduin

[@mcorion5593]

I think we all tried attacking miraak when he absorbed a dragon soul at one point.

[@xudowniklox]

u CAN save whiterub guard with wabbajack, he has some new voicelines bout this

[@morzemus1805]

It just works

[@Zegin17]

3:13 Screaming wizard falling from the sky, Ah one of the greatest memories. Only people who have played Morrowind would understand. 😂😂😂

[@Kulaas]

Well, guess Delphine believed Miraak when he taunted you. Shows she will believe soul stealing thief over the dovahkiin.

[@ChaosMaelstrom]

6:15 Actually happened to me during gameplay. My first time getting the event too so I was substantially confused.
