"You're a war hero from the Civil War, how many did you kill?"
"Kill?"
yes, he and Galmar StoneCokc have peacefully resolved the civil war with only nuke dogs and tentacles.
"I was just committing war crimes"
“Lots, but no one seems to think so...”
RAIN DOWN THAT COLLATERAL PACIFISM BOYS
who are you quoting?
-Miss your wedding
-That breaks the Miraak cutscene
I need a lore friendly explanation.
Miraak just wants to give you some space
Miraak realizes you are single and can't help himself
It breaks both the questline and poor Marcurio's heart
In reality you were marrying Miraak in disguise and he is heartbroken
You see, ymfah uses a magic companion as a marriage option. this means when it comes to the marriage. Hermaeus Mora feels the disterbance within the magic and knowledge planes. This means that for Miraak having gained power from Mora is ultimately weakened and unable to overthrow Mora. He is recorded in lore to say "Damn you the false Dragonborn the power of the boner was not strong enough to defeat you as Mara predicted" But due to it's graphic implictions was not put in the final cut.
Galmar: "Your task is to rescue the prisoners."
Ralof: "Shame none of the prisoners made it. Go report our success."
That made me laugh 😂
To be fair, they still got the fort itself.
*Mission Faild Successfully*
The jarl of whiterun literally forces a stormcloak messenger to deal with his problems and then acts like he's betrayed when the *stormcloak messenger* is allied with the stormckoaks
To be fair, you don´t actually specify that you´re a stormcloak (Unless you were wearing the outfit in that case it's obvious, but ive done naked runs before) so he just assumed you were delivering a message just like any other regular delivery quest adventurers do. Then again he could just be pissed you weren't with him and instead against him... you were his thane after all.
That jarl is an idiot anyway
@@ChonkedCat i mean he is one of the few jarls that seems to care about the whole dragons killing my people situation so he has my respect
What else would you expect from a whiny Imperial sympathiser... Support Ulfric, or die trying. There's no in between.
Dunno, seems kinda gay to me.

Thank you so much I need that.

Did you not watch the video ?! It’s not a war crime if you win !
Naked girl fist two burly guys to near death.
News: Crazy man running around in streets naked, committing war crimes.
Naked man commits crimes against physics while making other people naked as well
"War Crimes are OK as long as you win." Actually correct. 10/10 very informative
exactly, not gonna prosecute yourself
More accurately war crime trials require you to sign a treaty. The USA, China, And Russia are not signatories so they cannot be persecuted for war crimes cause they do not consent. There’s nothing stopping a winner from being prosecuted if their country signed a relevant treaty. This is why the warrant for Putin’s warcrimes is irrelevant and unenforceable.
If you win, there will be none to judge you lol
this is a canada% run of the civil war

“War, war never changes”
War has changed)
@@utopiaplace8074 It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines. War, and its consumption of life, has become a well oiled machine. War has changed. ID tagged soldiers carry ID tagged weapons, us ID tagged gear. Nano-machines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilites. Genetic control, information control, emotion control, battlefield control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control. War has changed. The age of deterrence, has become the age of control. All in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction. And he who controls the battlefield, controls history. War has changed. When the battlefield is under total control, war becomes routine.

Truthfully i do the same but i just tcl through the door. Sure its cheating but fuck that dungeon
I just imagine Miraak the entire time after you stole his clothes standing alone for ages until finally hes like: ".....did it get colder in here?"
14:25 Every kneeling enemy in Skyrim gets up after a time and resumes fighting , thus they are feigning surrendering. According to the 1977 Protocol I Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, article 37, 1 a, this type of perfidy is prohibited. So in this case the enemies are the ones committing the war crimes.
lol, i didn't expect to learn so much about war crimes today. This is better than online class.
@@jackfrost9512 The article bans the use of animals or theirs carcasses as bombs, or more specifically, booby-traps, check it out: hrlibrary.umn.edu/instree/1980d.htm so it probably includes dolphins. I could find some things about military trained dolphins, just like dogs, but the only thing about exploding ones is some allegation that Iran was trying it or something. Also Wikipedia said that the USA tried using bats and pigeons, while the bomb dogs were an soviet idea.
@@deadmeme897 yep, USSR used explosive dogs during WWII to blow up Nazi tanks. They specifically trained dogs to leap beneath the tanks because the bottom is the weakest part of any tank. While this sounds horrible and wondrous at the same time, this tactic wasn't really effective. Most of the time bombs blew up on the open field, and sometimes even beneath the friendly Soviet tanks, as dogs doesn't have any distinction between Nazi and Soviet vehicles
Clearly the only way to prevent this is a full scale napalm bombardment
@@loganreed23 soviet tanks ran on diesel, nazi tanks ran on petrol, so the dogs did have a way to distinct them(the smell of the burnt fuel), but the soviets trained them on their own tanks, so that's why they blew soviet tanks up, they only recognised them as targets
Gotta love how Miraak puts the book that is the secret to his power behind a temple's worth of security, including numerous hidden passages and layers far more complex than any other dragon cult temple, yet the other side is just a fake rock leading right to the Skaal Village.
@Sorley Walker Secret exits, yes. Secret exits that lead directly to the treasure room in the secret castle-beneath-the-castle, not so much. The Temple of Miraak is like having the secret alien ward beneath the already secret military base at Area 51 having a secret exit that leads to a bathroom stall in the Luxor casino.
@@xiiiultima To be fair, a casino would be the last place you'd think to look for a secret door to Area 51.
Hermaeus Mora rigged the game from the start.
They weren't expecting the bucket
Well former-Archmage Savos Aren did seal away the dangerous dragon priest Morokei wielding the mighty Staff of Magnus by placing a plank of wood on a double door from the inside, so this is a fairly standard security model in Tamriel apparently

Legendary edit
lol, thought I was hearing wrong. xd
There is like 10 changed lines like that one. Which is just damn great.
I like how the Imperial starting quest is “there’s this fort we really want to garrison, it would be important for the civil war” and the stormcloak quest is “uhhh go kill an ice snake”
there's a theory that they only want true nords in the army (as well as Skyrim in general) so they rigged the entry exam in their favor due to their natural frost resistance
Kinda funny, I feel like it's to weed out any non-nords. Nords resist ice.
@@wadespencer3623
If you're not a Nord, Galmar gives you frost resist potions. The trial is surprisingly fair for all races, and also really easy because he also gives you 3 really strong poisons specifically meant to cheese the Frost Wraith.

@@crazycreeper888 I must be thinking of a separate set of accords.
I like how the pacifist route takes even more lives than a normal gameplay
Reminds me of that Rick and Morty episode where Morty wanted to save the fart cloud from being assassinated, and ended up causing the deaths of thousands of people in the process.
Killed the final boss of the DLC just to clear a bandit camp. What a legend.
"So, why are you joining the legion as a nord of Skyrim?"
"Well you know, enemies can't swim sooo.... here I am"
Pacifist runs in a nutshell:
"Not my fault lol"
Pacifism, also known as the act of letting another inflict violence upon others as long as it gets you through the quest
I've always liked that Hanako picture. Excellent taste.
congrats, your comment now has 1 thousand likes. I figured I should let you know
May I ask, what's your pfp
throws a brick at someone's head and kills them "not my fault he was in the way of my brick"
I love how the game becomes progressively more "naked" at the video goes on.
Buying a male companion just to marry him and not show up on the wedding is the ultimate chad move.
Chad AF
Pro gamer move
and all that was essential to the plan of winning a civil war
@Sightless_Seeker Big brain time
@xBirds Considering the numerous war crimes commited in this campaign, I think that a bit of homophobia is the least of *THE NEGOTIATOR'S* concerns.
Great video, but i think there was easier option
1. Imperials have "voice of emperor' which stops targets from fighting
2. You can dismiss companions
So
1.Go to the fort
2. VOE
3. Dismiss companion
4. Apply " fury " spell on your former companion
And make sure to sneak at a proper distance to not aggro the former, infuriated, companion.
@@thaias9654 or become a vampire and go invisible.
But that requires not being a Nord

Ymfah content also contain editing and stuff, dude.
although the one war crime with killing surrendering enemies is kinda negated as in skyrim if you don't kill them while surrendering they attack again (faking surrender is also a war crime) :D
NPCs with 1 HP: I Submit, please don't kill me!
NPCs with 2 HP: I AM INVINCIBLE
I love how you simply show wiki entry about "unobtainable" robes that you have just regretfully obtained (10:55)

Asking how many people a soldier killed is normal, asking how many war crimes they commited is weird
@@KorliWolf To be fair, recieving an answer of “zero” when asking how many they killed is not normal, either.
@@Damini368 i guess that would have to depend on what they did during the war. Like if they just managed the planes on a carrier ship, and never got into an actual fire fight then that wouldnt be wierd, but if they where an actual soldier and got into fire fights, then yeah that would be wierd

To be fair, Stormcloak armor is pretty ass
@@TaikaJamppa You do realize the Stormcloaks have literally the worst equipment in the game right? Like, statistically, their curiass gives 21 points compared to the 23 of an imperial armor, their cuffs and boots are 5 points Vs the 7 of an Imperial, and their helmet is 1 point weaker too.
They also lack Heavy Armour and to add insult to injury you cannot even get a Stormcloak helmet at helgen. Literally the only reason why you would want to join them in the first place is so you can loot the Imperial statistically superior armoury AND weaponry given the Imperial Grade.
And this isn't even taking into account the lore related, in universe political implications of joining the Stormcloaks unironically given their Status as "More Subtly Fascist Fallout New Vegas Legion," this is just mechanics really.

I love how they include all the mistakes and dead-ends, it really brings you along for the ride. Amazing voice edits too. All-round incredible editing, I instantly fell in love with this channel.
these dialogue voicecuts are golden. Its like they would actually say these things😂
“Let us taste that sexy voice”
Ulfric right hand man, Galmar stonec*ck...
“You can return this axe to our friend. The esteemed Jarl of Windhelm can shove it up his *ss”
Check out the 'Gamer Poop' series on CZcams, it's essentially all dialogue cuts like that
"You can tell the _esteemed_ Jarl of Windhelm to *shove it up his ass!"*
“Tulius must be getting nervous...” - Ulfric Stormcloak, standing inches away from General Tulius
That switch from stonefist to stonecock was so beautifully subtle.
I love that every NPC that called you out for being naked was naked
13:50 "Galmar Stonecock."
That was so smooth I almost didn't notice it.
I didnt and asked myself then did that happen? xD
'Shame none of the prisoners made it"
I almost died lmfao
I like how this takes all of what ymfah's learned from all of their other challenges and applies it together, like this is a culmination of all their efforts.
You never said when the ghandi quote stops, so I've been reading all of the subtitles as grandiose quotes
"20 gold for the ride" is my favorite so far
What 20 gold? Those damn tavern wench is ripping me off. She said 60 for a ride damn.
@@Chronostra
60? She fuckin told me it was 90 gold!
I love how ymfah changes the civil war from Imperials vs Stormcloaks to Shirts vs Skins
"I swear my Eldrich powers killed him, not me"
"Not my fault he hit me. I wasn't even fighting back. Should've known I'd explode in tentacles"
I love how the different clutter items are special-purpose tools for flying with different properties. Skyrim's developers are truly geniuses for including such hidden features.
And some people really think levitate was removed entirely lol
The reason levitate was hidden in buckets is bc we gotta keep it a secret from the imperials bc according to imperial law levitating is illegal
Its all dwemer technology...
"Naked man runs into battle, casts spell to calm everyone down, steals the weapons and clothes off his enemies' bodies, then casts another spell to resume the fight" is genuine roleplay material though
*Shows Miraak's robes*
"Oh this is going to be tedious"
*"We don't actually have to fight him"*
"Oh you have GOT to be kidding me!"
I've played this game for almost a decade now, and I just NOW realized Galmar sends you to fight an ice wraith in the middle of an iceberg knowing Nords will have a far easier time at it for their natural resistance to the cold
He does it in the hopes any non Nord dies of hypothermia trying
those are the priorities lol. Racial purity first winning the war second. The Confederate strategy.
I was always under the assumption that it was a nord tradition, and he is just applying it as a recruitment test. Also, while he doesn't skirt around the oddity of a non-Nord fighting for Skyrim, he doesn't hate the idea. The gist of the conversation is "Why would a (non-Nord) fight for the stormcloaks?" Your character replys "Skyrim is my home, and I will die protecting it" to which he replies "Aye, that's as good of a reason as any." And the entire thing is dropped.
@@haroldbalzac6336 he also says "usually we send new recruits to train before accepting them but for you let's do something a little different" or something like that
Granted he also sends Nord Dragonborns to do it but like I said a Nord has a far easier time completing it than an Argonian or Elf
@@Zerum69 I guess but it might be to prove to him that your character (Nord/non-Nord) can fight in Sub-Zero temperatures.
Galmar actually explains why the test is how it is if you ask about it after completion. The ice wraith killing is meant to be breezed through effortlessly with the poisons he provides, with the real test being the act of reaching the Serpent Stone through the tundra, to test one's resolve for the cause.
The test is essentially meant to be as harmless as physically possible if you're serious about the cause and/or have a warm coat. It literally is about annoying the test takers with a long, cold hike and seeing if they have the nerve to put up with that annoyance. In contrast, Rikke sending out one person to clear out an entire fort is pretty messed up to the point of being a suicide mission for anyone whose not a plot armored player character (because like hell any normal recruit can do that). What's also hilarious is that without any survival mods with freezing mechanics, Galmar's test is completely effortless since the whole point of it isn't a non-modded game mechanic.
I love how you easily could use the shield bash or spiders from your other no killing videos but find new methods instead. It's wonderful
I think the best thing about your videos is that you also show the methods that don't work. it really adds to how dedicated you are to making sure you achieve the challenge
It's also funny and lets us know why certain things were done.
im sure there's a daedric prince out there who's astounded and amazed by your tribute
There probably is
Ymfah is a disciple of Sheo
prob sheogorath
Sheagorath
Either Sheogorath or Clavicus Vile.
Sheo because of the sheer absurdity and, well, madness of it all.
Clavicus Vile because Ymfah did exactly what he set out to do in the most indirect manner possible, bringing an end to the civil war without bringing any _direct_ harm to his opponents, besides maybe psychological.
Clavicus Vile has a very indirect method of granting his followers' wishes, ranging from giving one of them an axe to cure his daughter's lycanthropy, and curing vampirism by having his followers annihilated by an unknowing dragonborn, answering their prayers in perhaps the most indirect way possible.
Fun fact for those who have read this far down; the Voice Actor for Clavicus Vile is the same person who voices the Mister Handies from Fallout. _let that sink in for a moment._

HE IS A WITCH
I can just imagine Ymfah having Vietnam flashbacks after seeing that he probably has to kill Miraak to complete the run
“go go gadget kamikaze dog” actually took me tf OUT
I don't see enough mentions of how much of a genius you are. Your music choices, efforts, voice editing (stonecock), and your comedic timing are simply amazing
The music kills me. The Skrillex-esque version of sans., the Mario version of We Are Number One - absolutely brilliant.
"Did you know? War crimes are OK as long as you win!"
words to live by, indeed
If you commit one war crime, might as well commit all of them to up your chances as much as possible
@@jackfrost9512 Makes you wonder about that quote from General Patton after beating the Nazis; "We defeated the wrong enemy."
The allies after torturing and executing POWs, burning down civilian cities, and sinking Red Cross ships repeatedly
"30 gold? Screw that noise"
*currently has a thousand gold in inventory*
Soldier: "You are a war hero!"
Ymfah: "Thank you."
Soldier: "man... I can still see the faces of all the people I killed it is horrible! Do you?"
Ymfah: "I didn't ki- yeah..."
Soldier: "It sucks... but at least we were honorable and gave them a good death. War crimes are unacceptable."
Ymfah: "Uh..."
Soldier: "what?"
Ymfah: "...Nothing."

"Collateral Pacifism" is an amazing new term.
"Go to Bleak Falls Barrow"
My least favorite words in Skyrim
Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh what am I saying, of course you don’t.” - Nazeem
@Leonard M funnily enough I have only heard that while playing once. I have never beaten any main questline of any elder scrolls or fallout game
@@dragoonman1478 the main quests are pretty shit ngl
Bro, i like doing Bleak Falls Barrow.
I really wanted that it would become like a stronger version each time you visit it, until it becames a super dungeon with the cool boss room containing like a Bone colossus super hard to fight or something like that.
Go to bleak falls barrow find the dragon stone undoubtedly in the main chamber and bring it back simplistic it’s self
20:17 I don't see any signs of her being this, what, Dragonborn.
Any signs of her.
Her.
Wut.
ymfah chose a really hot female protagonist for this
I thought that's what I heard as well glad to know im not going crazy
He forgot to read the subtitles
I think ymfah dubbed the female voice line over the game as a joke
Another pacifist tip: when taking over forts, after you meet up with your fellow soldiers, you can just stand back and watch them storm the fort. Don't worry if they die; more of them will appear out of thin air until the fort is taken.
20:09 “You really ought to put some clothes on.”
*Entire town is naked*
10:58 "but is unobtainable"
You are so good you prove the wiki wrong!
The moment when Ulfric really wants to start a civil war but Jarl Balgruuf is like: nah fam, idc about your war, kill the dragons first
"Tullius must be getting nervous"
Tullius, about to get executed while surrendering: *nervous sweating*
I love how he finds new ways to complete his challenges
I mean, he could just use the spiders which kill without leaving a stat (see The Dark Brotherhood without killing), but he spent a bunch of time trying to get Mirak's Robes via a combination of glitches, which in the end, didn't even work.
I feel bad for that spellsword in Riften, Marcurio. Always getting his heart broken to do a glitch
i like the touch when you go as an imperial to Windhelm and as a Stormcloak to Solitude. The real pacifistic immersion
- So.. you do all the thing of perfect touch and miraak just for a mask and leave everyone naked?
*- YES*
This, this is why I love skyrim. In all it's glitches and broken gameplay mechanics, you can always find a unique way to play. This is beautiful.
