Welcome to a Skyrim challenge run where I play as a humble woodcutter. This is a Skyrim normal life roleplay where I take the role of Douglas Blackthorn a Skyrim normal person just trying to earn a few septims.
This video will see us try to live a normal life in Skyrim on survival mode.
We're pretty much playing as a Skyrim npc or an oblivion npc

Skyrim players in 2011 vs Skyrim players in 2024 be like:
2011: I'm going to be a stealth archer dragon-born demi god and save the world!
2024: I'm going to be a lumberjack
2011: I took an arrow to the knee!
2024: Tell me about it…
took a tree to me eye ;c
I started this game in 2022.

Of all the things you can do, you do this.
Of all the things I can watch, I watch this.

This goes so hard fr fr
I’m gonna need an employment survey after this
At least it ain't furry smut 🤷
I was thinking this as I clicked on the video
My unemployed depressed ass gets great joy out of watching stuff like this 😂
I've actually done this for a mage character. I cut wood to pay for magic training lessons and spell tomes, learning magic the honest way. I ended up at 90 to all magic schools. My dragonborn was basically a well trained student of the College of Winterhold with "years" of diligent lessons and hard work.
How?
A mage with hands so calloused, no-one would believe they were a mage.
@@misfortunate116Well, you can basically level up your skills by paying npc trainers. I loved wandering skyrim from towns to towns to find the right mentor for the skills I wanted to grow, paying them with septims from woodcuting. I ended up in the college in Winterhold after a while, where the teachers can level up your skills to the most advanced level, which a local mage or healer can't do. Usually you level up magic by using it in combat or wathever, but I decided to only pay for the lessons, to mimic a student learning magic by studying hard. Since my character was from humble origins, I decided that my job to pay the lessons was woodcuting. That was a lot of fun and truly rewarding.
@@arraelle7453 but don't you need to actually level up for every 5 lessons? You would still need to level the normal way
@@TOBY-jy7bzYes you do, but selling wood to merchants instead of special npcs (innkeepers and lumberjacks) level up your speech. It's the same thing when you are buying stuff, like food or spell tomes.
It ain’t much, but it’s honest work
I love these types of videos!The peacefulness and no dragons or enemies around.
Same!!!!
so wholesome and chill
if you never go to Bleak Falls Barrow, there aren't any Dragons 😌
@@poolhall9632 yup
Should have been in survival for eating and sleeping

lost his eye due to "lumberjacking days" nah he's used to be an adventurer
But then he took an arrow to his knee
@@slimytoad0803 he's not married. the arrow was in his eyeball.
Hey those splinters are no joke
@@TheVampireAzriel reference to a voiceline from the npc guards in skyrim
@@slimytoad0803 I know "took an arrow to the knee" is an idiom meaning someone (usually a man) got married. :)
Now I'm wondering if my D&D group would play a game in which everyone is just an honest tradesperson.
I tried it, apparently being a bartender wasn't good enough. My players wanted to be mass terrorists.
@@ArkayaStudiosD&D really brings out a lot of suppressed desires in people
I'd absolutely love a campaign like this! I'm gonna have to make a note of that for a future casual campaign. Currently we're doing a homebrew mideval "rise to power" "raga to riches" campaign. I want my players to end as the richest, poorest, strongest, or weakest and be know for their own deeds and as a group. Wanna become a king after you've defeated the bbeg? Well then, you're adventure isn't iver! Choose your royal path: tyrant, benevolent, pacifist, warlord, etc. And embark. Control your kingdom and make choices that may affect your kingdom
My plan is for this to be a forever campaign that changes with time and integrates different ideas and other campaigns, as long as it matches the vibe and fits within my systems and the world rules
One of the ideas I have is a Kobold who wants to actually live to be 120 years old and start a sort of adventurer tavern. His reason for traveling is to better his brewing and cooking skills. His main method of making coin with the party? Helping out the local tavern and filling the party's belly. He might dabble as a ranger or rogue but he knows what his end goal is: to retire with his own business and live a long life and raise many a kobold baby to be happy and safe
I absolutely love these calmer RP stories. You have a good character and a clear goal. There’s so much more to Skyrim than archery and dragons and you have found a lovely niche. Keep up the good work!
But it needs danger for peaceful things were valuable. Thats how it works I guess.
The yang to the yin ☯️@@thf1933
@@thf1933Maybe modders should add some mods for that:
- Stormcloaks raid the village.
- Legion troops turn up to demand supplies with veiled threats.
- Thalmor agents seize a neighbor.
- A living god wearing the bones of a dragon turns up, steals a bucket and gets in a fight with a chicken which escalates into him and his axecrazy housecarl slaughtering the whole village in semi-self defense as all your mild mannered neighbors go into a frothing berserker rage to protect said chicken...
Just another beautiful day in Skyrim!
@@antiochus87ya I think we'd all appreciate it if you got off the CZcams comments ...and went and worked on the next elder scrolls 😊. This is exactly the kind of thing id love to see. Hundreds or thousands of random encounters. Bandits, politics, drama...yes please
@@jakecollin5499 Thanks, I would willingly do that if I had half a chance!
If you're going to go to riften you should get At Your Own Pace Thieves Guild so that Brynjolf wont ask if you've never done a hard days work for all that coin youre carrying
Will check this out
@@JacobyWakebyMod list where?
@@darklordmathias9405 in the description, where it belongs
@@darklordmathias9405description, I wouldn't recommend you use a lot of mods down there though, most of them are pretty outdated.

Imagine if this is what the dragon born actually did 😂. Warns the jarl finds out hes dragon born and says "im not fighting dragons for a living lmao 🤣".
This is strangely inspirational. It almost makes me want to get my own life together and do something with it.
Almost.
Try the trades buddy!
start with a chair
Thanks for the slice of peace, chill skyrim run, no OP character, no obscene challenge run. Just a dude trying to make the best he can with the skills he has.
Honestly Douglas could probably use the Woodsman’s Friend axe given the name. Oh and maybe a mod for turning trees into piles of wood.
Terraria mode
I see youve been drawn to the allure of virtual timber.
Ah, yes! The Saga of the Wandering Woodcutter must continue!
Honestly....who in their right mind would place a tent near a LOUD waterfall.
I need that green noise to sleep
These vids of yours got me inspired to try these types of playthroughs on my own game. With the help of mods adding jobs, favors and a ton of random encounters, it's amazing how much more immersive it is to just playing as an ordinary citizen or plain adventurer making a living and working towards a nice goal instead of becoming a living demi-god.
What mods did you use (if your on Xbox)? I have tried to do playthroughs like this before but it never felt right
Yeah, I'd be interested in that, too! I'd love to try that out - so tired of the obligatory adventuring
@@daydreemurr8227 Check out:
Skyrim Jobs mod
Jobs of Skyrim
Missives
Notice Board
Extended Encounters
The first two are separate mods that add things like poaching, assassin contracts and even tavern work plus way more
Missives and Notice Board give you witcher 3 style boards in the hold capitals and smaller villages that give you a variety of contracts, you'll also get adventurer/mercenary npcs who can pick up contracts on their own and you can talk to them to help them on the job
Extended Encounters adds way more random encounters and immersive scenarios like more wandering traders, mercenaries and even guards attacking bandit camps
@@daydreemurr8227 These were all the mods I used when I had the Xbox. Also check out one of the Live Another Life mods that let you start somewhere else in the world skipping Helgen.
@@azrani2023 Xbox or PC?
I did something similar for my great pub-crawl of Skyrim. My character would visit a new tavern every night, and make his travelling (read: drinking) money by working at the mills along the way.
“The tree split just wrong and took his eye out”
Me picturing a tree doing the splits so hard he went blind
Ever consider life as a giant for a potential future series or stand alone episode? I’ve seen some neat mods that would be great for role playing as a giant in Skyrim.
I would LOVE to see a run like this!
Please no giant seggs mods
More please. This is so much more interesting than any of the challenges I’ve seen. Just a man and his axe trying to make his way in the world.
Just like the fisherman video, this is just so easy to turn on and chill with. Love the game ambience and always have, but now I get to enjoy it with little to no conflict! Just the daily life of this average man living in skyrim lol! Honestly super fun to watch.
If you wanna die drink when he says humble! Love your vids man! More please.
life as a mill worker seems like a good miniseries.
I went from watching an actual bushcraft/survivalist video to this and it's hilarious how similar it is.
01:40 I was actually expecting you to say “now his goal is not just to simply earn money, but to have his revenge, as he hates trees ever since” xD
To mix it up also be a farmer collecting cabbages and potatoes
As a roleplayer of many games who genuinely loved immersion. Your channel and these videos I beg you, please do more of. It is so fun seeing people live out their lives.
This has to be the most relaxing Skyrim gameplay I’ve ever seen. I love this.
what's strange is i was here today cutting wood for a few hours, stumbled here,
Somehow you made the most boring Skyrim task entertaining xD I would love to see more of this character.
I've seen one of the clearest skies on earth. Death Valley in the valley itself during the off season.
No tourists meant no light sources of any kind, perfectly clear skies with no dust nor weather.
I looked up at the night sky at 0300 (3am) while resting on my motorcycle, and was struck utterly speechless.
The darkest and clearest sky in the US, and one of the darkest and clearest skies in the world.
The majesty was truly indescribable. The game doesn't even compare.
That's awesome. Funnily enough one of my dreams is to go on a motorcycle trip across the US, would be cool to ride through The Mojave desert.
Do more indeed. Douglases hard work must be rewarded
Please do more of this. It's so relaxing
Will do!
Hi! I'm a simple lumberjack who just escaped Helgen from a dragon attack.
So glad CZcams decided to randomly show me this video. With a game like Skyrim I feel like I've seen so many different challenge videos, or heavily modded playthroughs, or speedruns or what have you but this is completely new and refreshing. At first glance I didn't expect it to be entertaining at all but I'm glad I gave it a shot. Looking forward to seeing more
Glad other people do this stuff. I have a character who only hunts. Elk, deer, goats, foxes, wolves, even a couple of mammoths. I worked up enough money to buy one of the hearthfire homes.
This is how I played Skyrim when I was 8 and my parents constantly teased me for it lol
Yeah I remember telling a teacher the same thing, teased me too haha
I did something like this just playing as a hunter, selling pelts and meats to the vendors before upgrading my equipment and towards the end venturing more and more into the hostile lands. Mods made it amazing, def a fun way to play.
I would love to see more of these! I really like the slow-paced gameplay.
Love the role-play series. Glad you started life as a woodcutter. You’ve inspired me to try and doing a lot of these types of play through on my own game. I’ve been a subscriber of yours for three years and you always find new role-play ideas for me to try out. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for sticking around!
@@JacobyWakeby no problem. You provide me with a lot of play through ideas and different ways to see the game. Definitely keep going with your life as a series. I would love to see you return, or start a new version of life as a Lord. There is a new mod that allows you to become the. Jirl of Ivarstead.
Please do more of this. I definitely want to watch it.
Ahh, playing video games through you my friend. And now, apparently, making an honest living as a woodcutter through you too. Thank you for the peaceful and consistent content my friend, continue the great work! You are appreciated, beyond just your content, and your channel provides more than you know for so many.
Facts 👌
I love these calmer playthrough videos. I know I would like to see these videos more.
I found this relaxing and entertaining. A good twist on regular Skyrim gameplay. I hope you'll be able to keep it interesting as you get wealthier.
Never stop making these videos man they’re calm and soothing and easily draws me in💪🏾
I have never seen a Skyrim video like this and i absolutely love it! Please continue the story of Douglas. Great video bro
This man is playing Skyrim like it's Runescape
99 woodcutting
I loved this! You’re approach to role playing and your editing style made this very entertaining. Can’t wait to see more videos like this!
definitely make this a series! this is so calming and cosy
I look forward to every single video and character you do. I laugh out loud at your humour and I have learned how to do some things with my characters from watching your videos. Please keep on doing what you're doing, I love them.
Thank you!
Added lore: I like to imagine the recent war with the High Elves resulted in a lot of wood being purchased from Skyrim to be shipped to Cyrodiil for reconstruction efforts.
Videos like your help me get over my lonely life thank you ❤
I love it, i hope there is a lot more. Thank you.
I love all your videos, so cozy and immersive
this is my first time watching one of your videos and it's giving me massive nostalgia from 2011-2013 let's plays. people just talking and making things up as they go without much editing... something like og yogscast
Haha yeah that's the kind of stuff I grew up watching
Havent seen you in my feed for a while. I would love this as a series!!
I love this! Thank you for this amazing series!
Thanks my man!
Most welcome! I just downloaded those mods, and cant wait to follow in your footsteps!@@JacobyWakeby
Such a cool idea, inspiring watching a humble character with aspirations of running his own business! Great luck with the deed! Can't wait to see the rest of the series!
This was so wholesome, I'm going to watch some of your older series and I'm subbed so I can watch part 2
Just wanna say that I hope you do more of this, I just reinstalled Skyrim on my PC and I am modding it to follow in your footsteps as well.
Honest gold, for honest work.
This was great I love this. I definitely want to see more of this character. It’s a great idea for a survival play through
I went in morbidly curious and now I am super invested. Your ability to dive into the role is very engaging.
I really would love to see more of this! I wanna binge this series so bad lol
Another promising series has began!
Taking a brief break after completing Life as a Miner, before I start watching the Life as a Lord series.
Your series were fun and interesting, and it has been my constant source of entertainment for the past few weeks.
So far I've finished Alchemist, Healer, Normal Life, Vigilant and Miner. Left Fisherman halfway cause I can't get over Darkheetus' death and Merchant still in the holds.
Thank you very much for the fun, wonderful videos! Looking forward for more series to come!
Thanks for watching all my series' haha
I absolutely would love to see more of this guy.
You capture something special with these vids dude, new series is 🔥
Happy to see someones helping out poor Sigurd!
I love this kind of video of yours, I definitely would like more, thank you in advance.
See, if you were playing like a true Nord, you'd kill the first elf you find, and steal his land, house and woman. You'd have your own lumber empire before noon, even if it meant you couldn't get archery lessons anymore.
Faendal will have it coming if he keeps up with his nonsense
This was fantastic, looking forward to the next one
I just wanna say that I would watch any video you make! Even if you redid some older videos, did a regular playthrough, a playthrough the way you wanted, or life as well…whatever! You’re videos are entertaining off your personality not what you do in the videos! Thank you for what you do and always trying to improve your content, i truly appreciate it.
Thank you, much appreciated my guy!
Absolutely I would love more of this fine gentleman! What a fantastic mill property mod I'm excited to see how it looks next time.
This video is amazing! I would love to see more of it. I thought it would be a one off, it looks promising… This would make a great series! Keep it up!
I love the woodcutting montage you did that's a nice step up in video quality
I do enjoy watching these slower, chill, rp videos. It's nice to filter them in giving me a choice if I want adventure or something to sit down and get lost in Skyrim and the RP.
First time ever actually really looking forward to a video + first time ever enjoying watching role playing, nice job!
big agree need to see more this is really chill in a great way, just workin and doin the day to day
Mmmm, edible mushrooms he says. As he picks Mora Tapinellas, one of the three ingredients to make the most efficient damage health and paralysis poison.
Take a shot every time he says 'humble'.
Definitely need to see more! These series are more entertaining than most things on Netflix
Looking forward to this series, so relaxing to watch..
Legend and rumor has it on the day Douglas Blackthorn lost his eye he took it well and did not make a sound. What I’m trying to say is Douglas Blackthorn is one tough son of a bitch.
Would love a series of these! I'm super invested
I now his struggels, i am a Skooma dealer for five years now. Good profits, if there would not be this damn dragons attacking me all the time while i am on my smuggling trips.
Never thought I’d like these kind of vids but I like it, it’s just peace.
I used to watch your videos back when you made the first Life as a Beggar series. I love your commentary and always wondered what you were going to roleplay as is the next series. Something I thought was funny was if you played as a riekling. I have no clue how you would set it up but I always thought that if you did a series like that, it would be amazing and I wouldn't be able to look away from the screen.
A very chill video.
Good for settling down from the more intense runs.
👍
I’m in love with these calm working class RP videos you do ♡
Safe travels friend
I’ve just found your channel, and this is the first video I’ve watched of yours. I’m hooked. Please keep this one going. I’m off to go watch the farming playlist.
Honest gold for honest work
After finding Millwater Retreat, it was obvious that it was going to become your base of operations.
Finding Doron's corpse and journal in Millwater Retreat, just made you emotionally invested in its restoration.
These life as adventures are surprisingly enjoyable, so much more to Skyrim than chasing dragons. More please!`
Damn, this is really heckin peaceful and calm and beautiful, I love this so much, it is so relaxing ^^
Appreciate the effort you put in to make these videos mate. They’re great.
Thanks!
Watching your videos, has given me a new outlook on gaming, thank u
Glad you like them!
please keep this series up. idk why I'm so invested
I absolutely love this story and the mods used! I can’t wait to see the story unfold 😉
