I'm currently at 76% with 65ish hours (not including dlcs as I wanna get plat before I start DLC). It'll be my 1st plat on my new account. Sad to say despite the fact I am definitely a Skyrim veteran and know it all I never actually platnumed Skyrim before

[@rocketscientist14]

This brings back so many memories rob.. I remember when I was in my freshman year of high school & this game had just come out. I picked up my big deluxe edition at GameStop & it came with the hard cover Skyrim guide book. I remember turning through that thing for hours just reading about everything. I have probably easily put over 1000 hours into this game. Good times... simpler times..

[@IceStella77]

Sucks that I missed this, but looking forward to coffee and a catch up!

[@tomblack2064]

Ermm. It is very important to point out that the trophy for acquiring all Daedric artefacts is glitched!! Please read up on it. You might have to exploit the game to obtain two artefacts on the one quest (the quest where you choose to kill/save the werewolf)... I started a new game intent on acquiring that and another three or so trophies for the platinum. About thirty hours in, that trophy failed on me. Major bummer!

[@davidludwig7501]

Yeah and if you get the unofficial skyrim patch through modders than it disables trophies. Fixes many many many game issues that Bethesda didn't care to fix. Bethesda needs to hire modders to work on their next game because some of them show more care for the game than the original creators. I won't play vanilla skyrim ever again. It's way more immersive with modded content. Replay value is higher than ever also. Great game can easily get lost in it's world and never want to leave

[@radekrydzewski8474]

Imagine this being your job, just chilling, playing video games and making KZbin videos about video games. I think Rob and the crew have reached Nirvana.

[@edmundblackadder2741]

Good luck on getting the Theives Guilds final trophy it's a real chore, also maxing out both Werewolf and Vampire will take a fair bit of time, for the gold trophy of having 100k i think, just make iron daggers and enchant them with *Banish Deadra* they sell for easy 1-2k each, and if you have the perk to sell any item to anyone with an investment thats 2.5k from every vendor in a town or city, buy every soulshard you can from general stores and the head mage of the leader in the town wait 2 in game days repeat

[@MatthewBaxter88]

I don’t think he’s doing the dawnguard or Dragonborn trophies, I think it’s just the original list since that’s all u need for the plat

[@maiqtheliar7552]

The 100k gold trophy is easy? I currently have 200k+ gold even after building 3 houses and buying the solitude home

[@knickers1978]

The quickest way to get the 1000 bounty in each hold is to change into a werewolf in the town, in front of people and guards. Make sure you have all the holds open, change into a werewolf, run away as fast as possible, and fast travel to the next area when you’re able to. Good luck. I need 1 more trophy to have this game and all of its expansions back up to 100%.

[@giveusascream]

I dont have many platinums but you guys have inspired my to get some. Recently got FF7 plat in preperation for the remake. Didnt know what game to play next but once again you have given me direction, the Skyrim platinum makes so much sense.

Sorry I missed the stream earlier. Thank god you post it up straight afterwards so I can watch it now. I am saving this platinum for my 100th. I'm at 95 platinums at the moment so I have a few to go before I can get this done but I will get there.

Damn you Rob, i was able to stay away from Skyrim for a long time. Now watching this, I want to play it again so bad.

I'm doing a similar run to this currently. I had nearly all the achievements on the original when Special Edition came out, I played it to see the difference but couldn't bring myself to play it all again (i sunk 600+ hours into the original) But recently I started again and found a new type of energy to want to finish it and for once I want to do everything.

Rob have you gotten the platinum for kingdom hearts 3? If not why not stream getting that platinum?

Its actually the easiest KH to platinum only trophy i need is make every materia item, it aint hard just a grind

Rob, just so you know, you don't have to go on a werewolf killing spree to get a 1,000 bounty, just transforming into a werewolf in front of a witness is enough to get a 1,000 bounty.

[@camk25]

Dan Griffin Are you aware of how many people the Dragonborn would have on his/her side if the elves would invade? They wouldn’t stand a chance if they were to invade Skyrim

[@michaeljenner2325]

I always go for Stormcloaks. Yes they have some downsides but overall they are the ones in the right.

[@durr1214]

Got the platinum for Skyrim at Christmas a year or two ago. The one that took me the longest was the Legendary Dragon one, since you need to be level 75 for them to spawn. Other than that, it's just a lot of ploughing through quests but it's very doable over all.

[@maiqtheliar7552]

You don't need to do that for platinum as it's DLC. Unless you mean just 100%ing the whole game

Skyrim was the first of only two games I’ve platinumed so far, the second being Shadow of the Colossus

[@CookieTowerDefence]

I choose the Imperials, every time. I once went for the Stormcloaks, and ran into one heck of an issue. Since I usually remain in Whiterun for ages before getting another player home, I've gotten to know the characters there quite well and grown quite fond of ... most of them. If you pick the Stormcloaks, you eventually have to do the "Battle for Whiterun". I just don't have the heart invade my own home! ;_;

[@BadgerOff32]

I managed to get a platinum on Skyrim, but I only got it because I had lost my internet connection for about 4 months due to financial troubles, so I was very limited to what games I could play as most of them needed an online log in to even start. Getting the platinum was a long and hard mission, but worth it. (I HATED the Theives Guild trophy though. That sucked!)

I've recently gotten back into Skyrim myself, playing the Special Edition on PS4. Not like I haven't dumped 500 hours into it already and got the platinum on PS3. I'm also working on the platinum though I expect it will take a while this time as I now refuse to play to any actions outside of my character headcanon.

[@Wesleyy-87]

endorbr how does it look? Don’t know if this stream was on ps4

[@endorbr]

@@Wesleyy-87 My daughter insisted on pulling out the PS3 version to play just this last week and I didn't realize just how washed out and janky it looks in comparison. I had to check my nostalgia goggles on my initial play because I was like I don't see much difference. PS4 version isn't like a million miles better or anything, obviously PC with mods is the best result for graphical improvement on a game from 2011. But it runs smoother, has a more diverse color palette, has better light and shadow depth, the weather and sky effects are more dynamic. One of the big reasons I picked it up again on PS4 was to get all the DLC that I didn't get previous gen and to give me a second run through on the trophies. I only dropped like $20 on it so it would have cost me that much to buy the DLC by itself anyway.

[@Wesleyy-87]

endorbr thank you for your quick reply. I will definitely give it a try once more! I actually never finished the game, due to the fact that in 2011 I wanted to play every game. So some games I never finished, Skyrim sadly was one of them!

[@davidludwig7501]

Been playing through Skyrim again here the past week or so. This time I've been playing with mods and my oh my the game is beautiful and way better with mods. I won't play vanilla skyrim ever again. Great game though. Best ever!

Mods stop trophies. I completely agree with you and started a new playthrough with loads of mods!! but I want the trophies so I won't use them for now.

[@davidludwig7501]

@@quiet_shy I thought the same thing but dang it's way better if you don't care about trophies which I personally don't. It's so much more immersive. I have a vampire lord build at the moment and a legacy of kain mod that adds soooooo much stuff to the game on top of vanilla game. Extra dungeons. Better unique built homes. Better ai. More followers. Better graphics and weather. I have about 20 mods running now on my current playthrough and the game keeps getting better. The game was good to begin with and with mods it's like a whole different experience.
