* The Impossible Skyrim Challenge *

[@thespiffingbrit]

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays to All I hope you are ready for a cosy fun hour and a half skyrim adventure! This is one of the most wonderful experiences I have had playing skyrim and by far my most difficult challenge! If you enjoyed it then a like is greatly appreciated and as always thank you patreons / Members for funding these videos so I don't need to whack in a sponsor section!

@thespiffingbrit One of the reasons I enjoy your content so much is because, even after the punishment of your multi-day charity Skyrim livestream, you still turn around and keep putting out banger Skyrim content. You, good sir, are either a masochist or just so empowered by tea, that you have transcended beyond the limits of us simple mortals. Either way, thanks, and hope your holidays are wonderful. Cheers.

[@clairetellkamp6253]

Oh ho ho, spiff, I do not need an edited collection of this adventure. For you see, I watched all 40 hours of the stream vods 5 times already. An hour and a half? I have injected 200 hours of this same run into my brain. The bit where Mango says that she finished scrapping the wallpaper off the wall with an antique butterknife, and spiff awkwardly kind of ignores her? Lives in my brain. The bit where Mango has to clarify that you shouldn't abuse your dog, because spiff awkwardly tried to explain dog training, but fumbled it and it came off weird? Lives in my brain. A lot of the bits that live in my brain include Mango showing up.

[@thespiffingbrit]

Mango was in charge of the first edit and so she cut out most of the times where she appears on stream :D

I don't understand why people never pick up Katria. She is easy to get to, if she dies, she can respawn because she is a ghost, and she doesn't take up a follower slot. She can also use ebony arrows if you shoot her in the shoulder with one. It's brilliant.

[@eldenarmortem975]

As someone with 1000 hours of moded Skyrim, who?

[@oblivion1924]

@eldenarmortem975 she is the ghost you can find in Arkngthamz. She is the major character in the quest "Lost to the Ages" where you find all the Aetherium Crown Shards. You can make her a follower if you leave the quest early after meeting her. Just find her, do her quest up until that giant puzzle door with the 6 spinning panels, don't do the puzzle, and then leave. She'll follow you for the rest of the game. She isn't a mod. She's vanilla.

[@voxfoxclips8684]

Funny thing about the beginning witch: I took her down when she turned hostile before I’d taken her stuff… but since they were still labeled as being ‘stolen’, I was hunted down by a high level mercenary group… who was hired by the dead witch. I was barely level 1-5 and they were wearing Nordic steel armor. Wasn’t fun.

[@nathanfreeman8250]

I mean she was a witch... so hiring someone after death isn't to far fetched

[@bornkinggamer3347]

No, no it had nothing to do with stealing her stuff. If you read the note on the hired thugs it says that they're getting revenge for her murder. It's a scripted even after you kill her.

These collections really don't screw around with difficulty. They have caused me to relegate the OP god that is Stealth Archer to my backup plan. It's always heavy armor and either giant bonks or stabs. Gotta be able to tank more than one dagger strike from the average bandit 😆 And I really thought you were going to get snuffed by that first skeever. However, my favorite part is the editor giving up on cleaning up the swears during the Great Battle of the Western Watchtower.

[@Valdreag17]

I loved this run. Thanks to you the algorithm has thrown super modded Skyrim runthroughs at me and I mist share. I recently saw a mod pack I thought you could have fun with. It’s called Dinoksetiid, and it turns Skyrim into the apocalypse world where Chairman Meow failed to stop Alduin and the dragons took over the world. Alduin has raised those who once lived in Skyrim into an undead horde and has left mighty dragon overloards to rule in his stead. It is up to you to slay these maighty dragons, pull Alduin from Sovngard, and right Chairman Meow’s mistakes. Oh, and you can only use three skill trees from the start of the game, needing to find lore books for the rest of them.
