This Skyrim Challenge was Doomed from the Start

[@Joov]

Welcome back everyone! Slightly different video today but I had a good time putting this one together with Editor Isaac who was a huge help - twitter.com/Samuraisaac1 Next week we'll have a more cohesive Skyrim BINGO challenge with a deeper dive into how it's all played out and follow that up by finishing Fallout 4 Without Leaving the Roads. Thanks for watching!

Have you ever thought of making more morrowind videos?

Loving the music you're using. I spotted the Thunderjaw theme straight away (absolutely love Horizon by the way). And then the Earthworm Jim remix... old school!

[@Hunoa44]

Thanks for the video,your suffering was exquisite,Joov :) One teeny tiny suggestion: How about adding a "no cooldown" mod to the game? It should provide you plenty of machinegun moments and ramp up the difficulty if you need it :)

[@alexandercadethannisch154]

The motivation to complete these is immeasurable. You’ve got something special Joov. Probably mentally unhealthy… but special.

[@Joov]

As much as I like to make goofs and embrace failure, I truly do want to beat these challenges when we start them - However my commitment to whatever 'bit' or silly strategy I'm trying gets me killed so much :(

Okay but holding that shield to block and gather arrows was actually the single biggest brain thing I've seen literally anybody pull, ever. Skyrim turned into an immersive sim for a hot minute.

[@heirofaniu]

You can also just chill out in the Castle Dour courtyard in Solitude and watch the Imperials pepper the archery targets for a bit, then run up and grab all the arrows stuck in the targets. No danger to yourself and also works faster since there's typically three archers firing more or less nonstop at a target they can't miss.

This is not a junk video. This video was even more enjoyable than the first Ironman because I did not know if, how, or when it was going to end. Salvage more failed challenges - your expert level editing makes even a mild run supremely entertaining to watch.

[@thelonewanderer4084]

Agreed this was a great video. Loved the Iron Man challenge

[@zackattack5803]

Idk about anyone else, but I love these kind of videos. The 2 ironmans and the solstheim region lock are some of my favorite videos on your channel. I hope you continue to attempt more challenging runs like these, and maybe make a series out of it.

[@AngRyGohan]

People on actual Runescape love seeing challange runs, to bad Joov doesnt do them for an actual period of time instead of not even 20 hours. In Runescape those actual region lock UIMs take over thousands of hours to actually complete.

[@iiRoot_]

@@AngRyGohan he doesnt do them for that long because he dies? did you not watch the video

[@unearthlyFromage]

​@@AngRyGohanHis deaths tend to stop the runs before they can go that far. Hes also doing this for content, and while it would be exhilarating to see a montage of thousands of hours of work on a Skyrim character, he has to switch it up eventually so he can keep making videos and keeping streams interesting. As a runescape player that likes pushing myself for 1,000+ hour challenges, it's not very good for a stream.

[@willmurrin9344]

7:25 - 11:05 was some of the most entertaining Skyrim content I've seen. I was literally on the edge of my seat. Definitely do another Iron Man series - maybe even add in a few rules to make it more difficult, like you can't exit a dungeon you already entered or something.

Good to hear ya love this challenge as it gives me hope we'll continue to see more of these. Yeah, there is the boring part on these runs (when you have to prepare your stuff etc) for sure, but likewise every single encounter and/or mishap is also so much more exciting and tense to see when it means the difference between your reward for the fight will either be being able to continue playing, or winning a new fresh run all from the beginnning again. Point being, definitely fun to watch for sure.

[@jacobmoss1069]

Yo have you ever thought of doing the Doug Doug technique? All the challenges that go correctly and can fit well in a video can go on the main channel, and you can start another second channel for all the miscellaneous videos. Papa could always use more Joov

[@neutral.chaotic]

he does have a second channel where he puts the vods up but yeah, good idea

[@Joov]

That's an interesting idea. I think if we got to the point where we were overflowing with completed videos 6-8 times per month I would probably make a third channel. I'm always a bit nervous releasing some more "Experimental" videos on the main channel - if we ever do have a surplus, I'd love to do that some day

[@ThomasSchannel]

@@Joovhave you ever done/thought about doing a clip show? Take clips and best moments from your videos?

[@bimbendorf5166]

I just want to thank you Joov, because not only your videos provide so much fun and entertainment, you actually inspired me to do my own Skyrim ironman playthrough. It is a completely new and very enjoyable way to play the game but playing permadeath on Legrnd difficulty sometimes makes things absolutely infuriating

[@tuesdaytrothwell]

permadeath ironman on legendary difficulty?? divines bless you my friend that is something I would never have the willpower to put myself through

[@AmogusAsbestos]

For anyone who may not know: If your animation cancel after getting the first ore while mining and every ore after you can get one extra ore. Ie: Initiate mining, get first ore, cancel animation, begin mining again, get next ore, animation cancel, ect.

[@derekshropshire2513]

I always just equip the pick and attack it to avoid the animation. Might have to start using your technique 😅

[@AmogusAsbestos]

@derekshropshire2513 it does take a little longer to animation cancel, but the extra ore is worth it imo. Plus, there's technically an increased chance of getting gemstones from mining bc you're getting one extra proc on the ore drop.

I can imagine the Skyrim Ironman challenge being more interesting with mods that improve on the crafting and smithing parts of the game a a whole. That way it feels more like you're interacting with fleshed out mechanics instead of the mediocre vanilla systems. Just a thought.

Hey Joov, if you ever take the time away from playing Bethesda games in ways they probably never should've been played to read comments, I just wanna say my thing. I started watching your videos recently and you've probably become my favorite youtuber since a long while. The amount of effort you put into every video on both this and VOD channel (binge watching your vods on my second monitor has become a routine of mine) just bleeds through the screen. Every single minute is entertaining and every video is full of little gems to gush about to my imaginary friends that would understand this particular niche that you occupy. You never fail to make my day a little better and in true Bethesda fashion, you mastered milking all these 10 year old games to their absolute limit. I can't wait to see more. Much love, keep doing what you do, take care of yourself!

[@jkm2907]

It’s great to see your channel grow when I first subscribed you were on like 70 k and now you’ve quadrupled that well done mate

[@silasskirata]

I think I've figured out a solution to the permadeath conundrum. A Punishment/Handicap wheel! Every time you die in one of these challenges you spin the wheel and have to do whatever you land on. I.e no more magical healing or banished from Whiterun. Etc . The community could maybe vote on some to add. Maybe there could be things you could do to remove a single handicap, like beat the main quest or collect a set amount of a certain item. I too enjoy when things have real stakes but hate to see a fun run end. Plus I imagine that a couple of Handicaps piling up could be entertaining.

[@the..clownsguy]

THIS WAS SO GOOD!!!! i love your usual challenges like iron man but this one was amazing, i love silly challenges like this and i would love to see more!!! no matter how much silly skyrim content there is, it’s never enough.

[@wastelander138]

Challenge suggestion. Only use the items you can find in each Dungeon. So, you drop your inventory before you enter and can only use the stuff from that specific dungeon. You can use whatever you find to get you from the last dungeon to the next but the moment you arrive. It's gone.

[@tings.]

I think a better way would just be you use the loot from the last dungeon to get to and through the next one, that way it doesn't just waste time dying over and over at the start of any dungeon because he has literally nothing

[@Harl3inger]

God the moment I saw you doing the quest that goes to sightless cave, I knew things were going to go bad. That place is a one-way ticket to hell.

Well done on another video. sorry you lost the iron man run, it was fun to watch the vods and made me want to try it for myself in the future.

[@shanehunt3019]

Personally I would try "Reverse Bingo" or "HORSE Bingo" Where basically you generate a bunch of extremely common occurrences that happen in the game, and try to complete the game without filling out a bingo. 3 lifelines, square shuffle, undo, and immunity time (like 2 minutes where if something happens it won't fill out the board)

as valuable as Vegetable Soup is (especially to challenge/speed-runners), its a damn shame that Tomatoes cant be planted, even though every other ingredient IS plantable...so you can stock up on Potatoes, Cabbage, Carrots, and Leeks, but your 'output' of Soup will still be bottlenecked by how many Tomatoes you can buy/steal/find/obtain...

With the way Skyrim "works" i think that bandit behind the locked door unlocked the door when entering combat with you the first time, then the door auto shut after you left, locking the guy in.

I’ve always loved doing perma death runs with a twist on either Skyrim or Fallouts (some other RPG games as well). Although I have done perma death with exploits such as sneak level illusion etc. never have I beaten a perma death legitimately even with my own twist to them to make um harder, or even added mods. I always end up dying to mostly anything with a frost attack! My most survived perma death with a twist (merchant only no looting not even coins I had to do quest or chores!) I was on survival first attempt on legendary eventually after 3 deaths I switched to Master and my character lived for 36 hours and I did a fair amount of side quest, and I didn’t spawn in dragons till 25 hours in the run. I died by a frost mage because I hit the wrong button to get through the door! I had damn right fun but was so sad that I was doing so well only to die because I miss clicked to get through a loading door! RIP Snorky.
