  • Silas has been having mysterious nightmares that make him scared he might hurt those around him. In order to protect his neighbors, Silas has decided to build a homestead deep in the woods of Falkreath, far from civilization. Can he make a new life for himself? And will he ever find out where the nightmares come from?
    Thank you all so much for watching and enjoying the last Skyrim video. I was blown away when I got 1,000 views practically overnight, and I can't even begin to describe how amazed I am now with over 300k views! I really appreciate all the supportive comments, especially from people who said my video inspired them to replay Skyrim again. I really hope you like this one, and please leave feedback in the comments! If you have an idea of what town I should play in for the next video, let me know! And thanks to my dad for voicing Silas. Thanks again, and enjoy!

      There are a fair few farming and life sim games on steam that do that. The thing is you need to give up 3D graphics to play them, but they're there.
      "Spiritfarer" is a HIGH recommendation. You're basically the afterlife's ferryman in that game. "Wytchwood" is a game where you play as a witch brewing potions and balancing things in the woods. "Journey" is the obvious choice, and is free on some platforms.
      There are more but those three are a good place to start

    Keep up the good work! For the next hold it would be really interesting if you did something like Riften, but instead of can you make an honest living, you could try making a dishonest living, only selling things through the fence and what not. Outside of that, Markarth could be really fun if you tied in the slave stuff they have going on with the mines!

    You should do a video were you have to live as a thief. You can go around Skyrim but your only a rookie thief so you don’t take challenges to hard. You could build a camp as a base.

    On my last Skyrim playthrough I decided to just not be the dragonborn that saves the world. I'm just yet another adventurer out for glory and wealth. Learning a trade, buy a house, find love, start a family, and get rich enough to retire.

    I really enjoy the more narrative parts, like the opening and near the end, where you sound more calm, it really creates a better atmosphere that really convey the story you present. I personally would say, if you do narrative videos where you lean more into this "telling a story" with footage vibe it would make great content. In any case great work on the video and thank you for making it

    Another banger. Challenges used as vessels for storytelling is an art-form you make masterpieces with.
    If you decide to do one in Windhelm, a dark elf or argonian dealing with the oppression they face there would be a pretty good story, and having a restriction on nord npcs or something similar would be interesting to see too
