When it works, it just works
(And today I learned who Tom Howard is)
@@Menma2991yesssssssssss 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was gonna say something like that
Gosh, golly does it work.
😂
Literally nothing else works in skyrim.
Without mods or exploit you are gonna be powercrept by the level scaling into bullet sponges enemy.
If it ain't broken don't fix it.
Its just a medieval version of being a sniper. The enemy cant harm you if you kill them quietly from a distance
Did you just take his stuff
Look as I said he was already dead when I got there
Mabey that's because YOU SNIPED THEM!!!
In military and War history snipers often had the highest death rates of any Soldier because they often operated alone in forward positions
Basic common sense, really. Also prevents your cool wardrobe from getting bloodstained. 😉
Who needs to do it from a distance? With enough stealth, you can do it right in their face and they'll never know.
Even better. No noisy gun shots.
You either die a mage, or live long enough to see yourself become a stealth archer.
And how are fighters, or other classess fit in :-)
To be fair, they made magic so bad you need mods to make it good again. But Stealth Archer? It just works.
Stealth at 100% and a sword works just the same. Hilarious too, as long as your crouching they can trip over you and not know your there.
I lived the best of both worlds with my conjuror mage. 😅
Step 1: conjure an arcane bow
Step 2: snipe people from afar stealthily... with MAGIC!!! 🧙♂️🏹
@@andrewbranham6823Daggers have higher stealth multiplier
There's something just so satisfying about the sound of an arrow going "thunk" into something you want dead in a video game.
Yeah but a mage with an axe is just so much fun, conjure zombie works wonders for a quick meat shield, and flame or electricity usually does the rest. Don't talk about the flame atronach... We don't talk bout that...
I tried to be a mage to get out of the Stealth archer build in Skyrim, I learned the bound bow spell and became a Magic stealth archer instead
You too?
Well, now I need to branch out to that. Always been a stealth archer and this just made me realize I am not the only one obsessed with the damage multiplier.
The best part about the magic bow is you don't need to keep arrows on you since you can just recast the spell for more ammo
Exactly 😂
The problem with this is scaling in Legendary diff.. Bound bow is limited by your Conjuration and Archery skill.. and illusion as well if you want quiet casting which makes sense for stealth.. but by the time those max out the levels are too high to efficiently kill.. buuuuuut.. Really fun way to torture those high HP bosses.. 🤣🤣🤣
The non toxic friend group everyone needs
But will never get 💀
Befriend us stealth archers, we're not bad and you know you'll have someone always ready to kill for you
Tbh pretty based people ngl
i miss those. had so much fun than.and every one i met online. now days you meet only wierdos and taxic kids
@@alibabapirce9782 I dont meet people online anymore. Every game is just a one and done. I miss joining a community.
If your opponent stands out in the open even after someone has sniped 4 of his friends, there's really no other choice but stealth archer
Nothing beats the ability to kill from a distance without detection. Holds true in all combat.
It is cowardly. I like walking up face to face.
Don't need a healer if you never take damage 🤷♂️
@@therealivydawg and that’s why you would die early
Oh I don’t know…
I always did enjoy a silent caster who makes all of the baddies in a room go mad and all attack each other while I set in a corner and watch.
Can't quit that bonus damage multiplier. It just feels so good.
I always preferred to use magic and a sword. Always was more fun to me.
That's a mechanic problem with the game. By getting rid of pre-selected classes, everything ends up merging back to the same class.
If you had to pick your class at the start, and you got different unique bonuses based on that class, and associated playing style, it would encourage you to play different ways each play through.
@@johnjones_1501 no the problem is efficiency, to go stealth archer all you need is a bow and press key to sneak ...
to be a great warrior or mage you are forced to heavily invest in specific resource and optimize gear to do the job well
stealth archer in the meanwhile can use basically any gear or spec in any of the stats at will opening up the posibility to build melee/mage on TOP of archery and always have the whole stealth/archer thing to fall back to if the mage or fighter thing isnt working well
also in VR the archery just works best :)
I got even more addicted to the MASSIVE multiplier to dagger stealth attacks.
Seeing a 15x critical and the animation just makes too much dopamine.
@@antigravitybears1631it can get to x30 with the right stuff
A Stealth Archer addiction can be serious, but mage builds are the first step to class freedom.
By having the lowest health and armor rating 😭😭 I try every new playthrough but end up as a stealth archer until I build up a good 1 hit stealth dagger character.
While Stealth Archer has its perks, I prefer Shadowblade. Illusion to manipulate enemies and go invisible, appear behind target and stab them in the back, rinse and repeat till camp's are clear, no-one the wiser...
@@Vayne29 i see you have never tried the Spellblader subclass, all the perks of a mage, but none of the disadvantages, infact with the right Arcanums a Spellblader can tank even better than a Barbarian sometimes, though i usually prefer the DPS route myself
My favorite class now is Stealth Daggers. It is almost as easy, but much more satisfying delivering personal death to every enemy.
True freedom is realizing that with illusion and distraction, you can calm the enemy, whip the leaders allies into a frenzy and buff them and set them loose on the boss. Few stealthy arrows from your hidden overlook and the leader falls, then the horde turns on itself and you pick off the last straggler. All while laughing as you enter the light, revealing your lack of pants and an unlit candle on your head.
The moment I hear "It just works", I realised there's an arrow in my knee
thats deep man 😂😂😭❤️
Must've been the wind...
@@Catastropheshedang I told that fart not to touch my arrows
@@jameslakejunior8054 must have been the beans.. 😂
@@Catastropheshe couldn't have been I don't eat beans... Aha must have been that evil chocolate chip cookie. I should have known someone from the Darkside handing out cookies for free was up to no good
Loved the little “it just works” nod 😂 Stealth Archer for life though 🙌
If they've played through the game multiple times, they need to make it more of a challenge. I'd like to see Rowan play as a pacifist healer.
That's just games in general honestly, they're all too easy these days, even the souls games become really easy, once you die to an enemy a couple times it's pretty easy to dodge them after that
@@calebdowell4027gosh... You mean that learning how a game works through experiential experimentation actually makes it seem EASIER?!?!
This... This is MIND-BLOWING!!!! 😂
@calebdowell4027 have.. you ever played a souls game?

There even a song about it, by the chalkeaters.
@@entity-36572-b"It must have been the wind. A spear pierced my shield. An arrow hit my chin."
Look I made them take an arrow to the knee.
"why are you playing stealth archer again"
me: "IT'S THE LAW"
This is the way.
I'm not a stealth archer.
I'm a walk in an slaughter while getting shot at, archer.
That damage multiplier while being unnoticed in every rpg game is just too good to ignore
Isn't this just medieval camping?
Ancient camping?
Lurking?
@@julianmitchell3035Def lurking😂
in dnd, heard a story about a Barbarian Orc that though he was a rogue, so when he failed stealth checks, he would resort to intimidation checks to force ppl to ignore him while he snuck around
" YOU NO SEE GROG!!"

I love the commitment to just stand there in the background waiting for someone to accept his quest.
Me too@@Porus3D
That was a question mark, not an exclamation point. He was waiting for them to turn in a quest.
@@whiterabbit75 As they are all on fresh new chars, that's probably the "end" of the very first quest that is automatically given to every new character to guide them to the start of the story.
@@mischa7823 Most likely.
I mean, when you can clear out an entire dungeon without them ever knowing you were there.... it's just the best way to play Skyrim hands down lol
Whenever I watch these skits about MMORPG, it makes me wanna play something REALLY similar to what they show in the videos
"Stealth archers for life"
...yeah, this is me.
Me too
Me 3
Every MMO player knows stealth class is the way to go😂
yes😊
What mmo are these, the only MMO I played was Albion and there no stealth in that game
@@ilyasdev8962is albion worth the time just curious
@@ilyasdev8962I played many mmo including Albion, dragon Raja and Toram but never saw any stealth class at all. I guess it's available in pc mmos
“Ah you’re finally awake.”
Oh my god! I honestly thought I was alone. Every time. Every time!! It just works!!
It really is more rewarding honestly!
Me trying not to play a summoner in Terraria :
"I'll just shoot them a little too weaken them to be easier to kill in melee."
"Whoops, they're all dead."
That's how it starts
"one shots them anyways" 6x DMG stealth bonus
Everyone's a fighter till the dragon won't land
My PTSD of my quicksave in skyrim bugging my game on my first great sword character. the dragon never landed and just slow flew across the map into the ground, I lost like 2 hours of gameplay was anoyyong
Dragon rend really don't work as well as it should😢
That's why I always speed run the main quest up until I get Dragon Rend on every character, even if I don't plan on ever finishing it.
@@user-vy2zk9ut5nThe trick I find is to just use one word to get them on the ground, then use three to keep them there. That way, if you miss, the cool down is usually short enough that you can try again when they come in for another pass.
I honestly can't get in to stealth archery. It's always fun for a bit but unless it's what the game is meant to be, I can never feel it.
“If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”
Greg doesn't have a quest, he's just confused
Alan in the background listening is like, "Yeah these adventurers are definitely going stealth archer."
Its all fun and games until stealth archers face lvl 100 boss and they dont have a tanker in the group
Nah just run away and shoot once in a while, it'll take an hour or two but who cares 😂😂😂😂
@@calebdowell4027Slow and steady wins the race. And if you keep on dying, you can memorize their attack pattern and dodge and shoot!
Of course it depends on the game but- trap, agro, kite,- hell in FF14 you can shoot and move at the same time.
That's when my stealth archer pulls out dual daggers after casting muffle and invis, power attack and most things die is 1 hit with the right perks and gear
Finally. No ones talking about he's everywhere
I like the thought of checking a bush for any intruders and you find 3 archers all bows drawn and aimed at your forehead
I love the actor playing the NPC whose first line is usually "Greetings, Adventurer!"
I always end up as a barbarian or the equivalent but hey smashing enemies faces in works wonders if they can't tell anyone it's just violent stealth
"AND HIT IT TILL IT DIES!"
Can't be spotted if there's nobody left to spot you.
Hey if no one is alive by the end, u have successfully stealthy passed the level.
I always end up as the most sadist and vicious healer there can be, because nobody does it properly and have to heal myself.
More dead bodies less detection
The sound of an arrow hitting an unsuspecting bandit is the best sound.
Tell me you are playing Skyrim without telling me you are playing Skyrim
I used to be an adventurer until I got an arrow in my knee
@@jameslakejunior8054The fact that you lived makes you a legend
@@66666Ray eh it must have been the wind
I love how at the beginning, Greg is just standing at the back
The garlic farmer with the question mark instead of the exclamation point😂
"Please, please, finish the quest already! get your reward! just... talk to me!" -Greg, probably~
Alan's performance is astounding in this short haha.
The "gosh golly does it work" gets me every time haha
Haha that end scene was SO GOOD😂 "GOSH GOLLY does it work!!!" 😂🤣😂
Best way to avoid stealth archer is to play VR and turn on the option where to sneak you have to crouch irl :p
That would certainly work XD
Now, now, now... fantasy games aren't supposed to be realistic. 😡
that sounds awesome 😂
Move aside Stealth Archer! meet The Stealth Crawler
Leg day here I come!
Skyrim, every single fucking time.
I will cure you of this plague brother *-pulls out mehrune's razor-*
I've done two different playthroughs of Skyrim and I always end up as a melee up front character 😅 I've tried mage but early mage is very hard and I've tried ranged but that leaves me kinda weak once you get to the point of consistently fighting dragons for souls.
@@thelegendofrosetyler I always go tanky battle mage, heavy armor, adequate vigor, strongs spells from all schools, a greatsword or straight sword, backed up by shouts mainly, plus mods for a extra boost
@@Daan-Dovah I've never actually played modded, but it felt like going back to melee if I used a sword, so I tried to be a pure mage, though it didn't go too well. I also always go werewolf and decided to try out vampire though the whole sunlight and having to drink blood was slightly annoying.
@@thelegendofrosetyler a good mod for new stuff I recommend is ordinator perks, boosts the skill trees making them better, also get cheat room for role play or if your feeling lazy
The user names tho😂😂😂😂😂
“Riiiiight” Hides alchemy bottle behind back.
In the wise words of Mr. Skyrim himself: It just works.
Bound bow has entered the chat
Ah yes, I'm somewhat of a magic man myself
"I'mma be a summoner this time!"
*Builds a summoner build to summon a bound bow and a bound dremora bait*
Make sure to get that quiet case perk. Also, is Alchemy technically magic?
@@songohan3321alchemy is part of the sneak substrata
I did that too. I called him lightsaber since I was going to use exclusively summoned weapons, mainly 1h, but Nooooooo.
Wajajajaja I just love this channel 😂😂😂🤣 look at the NPC in the back 😂😂🤣
I really feel this. Played through Skyrim so many times, and ended up with a stealth archer every single time.
It's all fun and games until an boss with stealth detection appears
By that point your archery skill is so high you don’t need to worry.
They just do SOOO much damage. The enemy not knowing why they are falling like flies and not find you at all before killing a squad is a power trip.
And getting those long range sneak shot with that sound effect is just so good
They're like Pringles, once you've killed from stealth as an archer you can't stop!
Literally every play through of Skyrim 😂
i always became a stealth barbarian in skyrim just punching people from the shadows
Respect
They should have a setting called “Disable Class” where it disables the option to go a certain class and you can’t change turn it off until you have beaten the game
The NPC at the back just staring at them😂😂😂😂
That ”sshhhhh!” had me 😂
Its like me with a mage or wizard class, i just can't stop choosing spellcasters. I just like the versatility of the spells and their effects, and blasing everything in an area with a large aoe blast. Even if they cannot take many hits normally, you can just get items that give you more health or armor also there's spells that can heal you or protect you from damage
I make spellblades or war mages, arcane warriors.
Magic peps who can fuck you up in melee is always fun
@@necrogirl2021i tried tank mage. Also fun~ just heavy armor and heal and destruction spells. Maybe a simple blade for close combat. But otherwise fun
@@cherrydragon3120 most call that a warmage
Ben's "ssshhhh" at the end is just perfect. 😂
This perfectly describes me in any Souls game if stealth archer was replaced with "ungus bungus, me hit with chunkus."
"Gosh, golly does it work." 😂
In Skyrim I always start up as a two-handed, heavy armour, stealth master, who's a half naked, unarmed, dragon fisting calamity 😂🗡️
EVERYTHING eventually evolves into stealth archer.
RPG crabs lol.
My arcane warrior is doing pretty good at not using stealth.
DEvolves.
This video pops up in my recommended every few months. Which, honestly, accurate.
Is it just me or can we just talk about their names😂😂❤, anyhow, love your content, keep it up!
There’s something so satisfying about finishing a fight before it’s even begun.
I feel like Batman with prep time, even my other classes use stealth to set up a series of traps etc before a fight
Stealth Archer: You couldn't live with your failure. Where did that take you? Back to me🗿
🎅🎅🎅✏️🐡🤣
The end literally had me laughing out loud
You either die a knight/barbarian/mage…or you live long enough to become a stealth archer.
Skyrim in a nutshell
Then you realise the final boss is immune to stealth damage
Luckily few ever complete the main quest, lost roaming the side quests 😅
Who needs to face the final boss when you have a bazillion different things to do?

@@minkmonk5387 The hardest part is going to the greybeards, from there you just need to have decent gear and patience.
Aaand then the doctor tells them being a stealth archer is the reason their kneecaps have blown up 😹
Me in Dark Souls except of stealth archer I turn into “naked man wielding an exceptionally large metal object, except sometimes enchanted”
Love the forever NPC back there. XD
Realistically speaking, unseen ranged attacks are the way to go.
Realistically speaking, NPCs have the view distance of 5 inches. There’s a reason stealth is only viable in video games.
@@Qwerty0791 oh, I meant actual combat. Like artillery fire or something
@@Qwerty0791 Is that so? Please explain to me, then, why a sniper is one of the deadliest enemies to come across in RL combat, if you know, stealth is not viable.
@@johns5641 Wait what? Indirect fire is exclusively very *unstealthy*. Artillery, mortars, missiles, unguided rockets, any munition with an arc... they're all really really really loud. I guess torpedos would be the only exception....
@@Qwerty0791 can you find where they came from once you're dead? Doesn't matter how loud it is once it's lights out, all it matters it that you don't get seen before the release

MENACINGLY
I never saw something so skyrim acurate😂
true story, bro
My playthru just hit the point where despite heavy nerfs by the load order, Stealth Archer is finally just effective enough I might as well use it all the time.
@@LibraritheWizardOfficial than you will see: it is just that good 😌
@@dudenumber48919 It's not like I've never played a stealth archer across thousands of hours. I just only get 2.5x damage with a bow in this load order, while I get 12x with 1H backstab, plus an extra 50% backstab bonus from perks, plus an extra 1% per Sneak level when using a dagger. Oh, and bound weapons (like daggers) deal higher damage based on Conjuration level, which is nearly 100.
Also, Know Your Enemy + Know Your Armor nerf arrow damage even harder against many foes. It's taken into the 30's for me to really even achieve high enough damage with my bound bow to start 1-hit killing some leveled enemies, depending on their armor type.
I just run around as a khajiit and scratch people to death
Something about that slow-mo shot of me in my nightingale armor shooting a perfect arrow and rag-dolling a bandit just makes me feel so good.
Basically Skyrim in a nutshell.😂
Legend has it that they keep starting from scratch and saying a new class each time, but end up a stealth archer after 20 levels to this very day
"No stealth archers" literally an hour later "stealth archers for life " *fist bump hand twinkle*
Especially when the Nightingale armor looks so good.
Stealth archer right up till you realise you can summon 2 dremora and sit back with tea and biscuits while they wreck shit.
Sneaky archer is the only way to finish the game without pulling your hair out
?Really...
This is so true it's actually painful.
I've been playing the same handful of builds in rpg games for the last couple of decades.
The only time I did something different was in the Fallout games, where I built a stealthy serial killer - all close combat perks mixed with stealth perks, so I could stab someone from like 50 feet away and they'd never see me coming.
It was a lot of fun, actually.
Light armor, some super powered dagger I got from the bottom of a well, and nothing else.
No guns. No two handed weapons. Just a big ol' knife and the urge to stick people with it.
Man, I piled bodies up 10 deep in some buildings.
How do you stab people from 50 feet away though?
No matter what skill tree you go to stealth archers always lurking in the corners of your mind
When people ask me how long it takes me to become a stealth archer in Skyrim, my answer is always “as soon as I get my first Bow!”
Meanwhile me here wearing big ass armor and a giant greatsword just to taunt the enemy and run away
*The taunt:* _You ain't got no bitches!_
The reason why i always go stealth archer is because i dont want to miss out on any secret conversations between the enemies
This is how I felt when I found out how fun challenging experience farming with s frost mage was like.
