  • @tiazoh
    @tiazoh Před 3 lety +62

    A few ideas:
    "can you beat skyrim as a horse whisperer" You can only attack with Arvaak the horse.
    "Can you beat Skyrim as an identity thief?" Not a great title, but the idea is that you drop all your items every time you make a kill, and swap it for whatever the person you killed had. It forces you to not have much of a consistent skillset. You could do something simpler like just the dawnguard dlc.
    "Can you beat Skyrim as a flame antronach/pyromancer?" You can only use flame element destruction spells or shouts.

    • @tiazoh
      @tiazoh Před 3 lety +7

      @Joshua Kelly Yeah it just seems like a pain in the ass. Do you loot each body in a group or just the last one you kill? What if you forget? What magic can you use, if any? It would be really fun to watch but annoying to play. Maybe I could make a mod to simplify it.

    The guards do have decent statues and perk from the get go

    I think the one rule that could’ve been bent for this challenge is the ability to improve your weapons and armour at a blacksmith. Sure, the guards don’t have improved weapons or armour, but that’s because it looks like nobody is smart enough to actually make their armour and weaponry better. So the excuse could be that this guard is a bit smarter than the rest, and would enhance their equipment when possible.

      The grounding for that statement is dubious. Most likely he just got an arrow to the knee.

    • @silvercandra4275

      An unenchanted wooden sword, right?
      Because there's a well known, easy to pull off exploit that allows you to enchant things with ridicolous amounts of damage.
      With an enchanted one, it's 100% possible and possibly easy as hell, even on legendary, if it's not enchanted... well, good luck.
