    Skyrim meets Runescape in this challenge inspired by the popular Runescape game mode, Ultimate Iron Man! This is an educational tutorial on how to thrive in the world of Skyrim without trading with vendors, looting weapons or armor from enemies, utilizing any form of storage, and only progressing via what the player is able to hand craft from the open world. This challenge is permadeath, meaning all progress is lost when the player falls in combat.

    One of my favorite niche facts about this game that happens to finally be relevant is that instead of pressing the interact button to mine an ore vein, you can equip the pickaxe in your hand and melee attack it to gather the ore. It’s normally completely pointless, but if you use the Elemental Fury shout to increase your melee speed, you’ll also be able to gather ore faster.

    About the NPC jumping at 37:07 If you want to see it happen in-game, an easy way is during the civil war questline. After you clear all the defenders of a fort, the remaining enemy soldiers will flee. If they happen to be on the wall of the fort, then when they flee there is a chance they will choose to jump down off the ramparts and you can see an NPC jump. Might be the most obscure Skyrim fact I know.

    so the way that the cutscene instakill attacks work, is that they calculate if they would be lethal ignoring your armor value on your current health, and if they are then it cutscenes you on next hit. Therefore the best way to stop that from happening is to prioritize anything that increases your max health to keep above that threshold. Two handed warhammer attacks tend to do this more often because the warhammer tree has perks in it to ignore armor to begin with, and npcs sometimes will spawn with those perks. That means warhammers will do that calculation already ignoring some of your ac to get the damage value, and then ignore your ac entirely when determining lethality of a cutscene attack. Basically always assume a warhammer enemy is going to cutscene you because they always can.

It allows you to craft pouches at leather crafting posts so you can increase carry capacity early. It's a bit OP though because with the right material you can hit a carry capacity of over 800 without a stamina increase, and the pouches count as an enchanted item so you can make one and disenchant it at a table to learn the carry capacity enchantment,bit of an exploit
