Can I Survive 100 Days in Hardcore Survival Mode? - Perfectly Balanced Skyrim Challenge

This is by far the hardest skyrim experience I have ever constructed and the results were a magnificent existence of finding the simple balanced pleasures in life! I hope you all liked todays video and perhaps would like more?

"Spiff lives like a (relatively) normal person in videogames" is a series I didn,t know I wanted, but I want more of it now.

I love how even in a challenge where Spiff isn't allowed to use bugs, they always find a way to get to him themselves.

Spiff: "We do resist like 30% of all spells, so that frost mage isn't the biggest danger in the universe" That Frost Mage: "You wot mate?"

This is hands down the closest anyone has come to recreating the authentic mortal experience of living in Skyrim.

"As long as we don't die, we can run away" wiser words have never been spoken

Technically having a wood axe or pickaxe in your inventory without being equipped isn't using them as a weapon, and if you activate a wood pile or an ore vein, it will automatically use them as tools but you won't equip them as weapons or be using them as weapons ^_^

Can we take a second to appreciate how skyrim is still relevant 11 years later

This unironically looks like a fun way to play. I've played skyrim for like 3k hours and this genuinely took my interest in the game from negative 100 to fairly high

I love the idea of the dragonborn just sorta deciding to just pretend that helgen didn't happen and went on to live a simple life as a farmer with a wife and kids.

Spiff last year playing Skyrim: YES! 12 GAZILLION DAMAGE! Spiff playing Skyrim today: YES! ELEVEN WHEAT!

I find it funny how he went from Falkreath to Rorikstead walking because he wanted wheat but still he says "thats not valuable for us" when the game tries to give him a farm.

I just saw the bit where you said that having the farm as your own house wasn’t valuable. It’s INSANELY valuable! You can grow huge amounts of potion ingredients and earn profits from the farm itself.

Spiff sleeping from 1:45 to 6 am was truly the most realistic part of survival mode

When you think about it, this is effectively what is like to be a regular townsfolk npc in this game. Really puts into perspective how heroic the dragonborn really is when you see what it would effectively be like to be a weak townsfolk npc. You're just a guy, you dont have or wear fancy armor. Maybe you have some magic abilities but it's not much. You eat sleep and get injured and can die. Then one day, someone shows up blasted out in legendary armor, a badass weapon and a badass sidekick, and they can literally just yell things into or out of existence with the power of the dragon's voice. At best you've got a little dagger and maybe some magic if you're lucky. If you ran out into the wilds you'd never survive alone against a bunch of bandits. And lets not forget, there is a civil war going on as well. You're a lowly peasant just trying to make some coin and survive 100 days. I love it.

I gave the challenge a go. I lasted 3 days and made it to lvl4. Some one hired 4 thugs to kill me. They chased me outside solitude. I ran to the guards hoping to be helped and got 1 shot as the guards did nothing.

Never in my life did i think i would hear someone say “im not equipped to fight a skeleton” in reference to an elder scrolls game.

Spif: I’m not leaving the path for any reason! Also Spif: Oh look a farm!

This man has created a way to become the “protect this npc” quest but for 100 days… Bravo to you sir!!!

"marriage is so overpowered, you do nothing and they do everything and you just take all their stuff" Spiff discovering how life works...
