Probably your most positive review ever
I honestly thought he would kept going with the rebels to find out that there hardcore rascists
Oh the good ol' days when Skyrim only had one released edition and wasn't on everything including a fridge. I still haven't gotten around to finishing Skyrim because my first play through when it initially came out I quickly found the bug where you could make arrows powerful enough to instantly kill every enemy in the game with one shot and got very bored minutes later.
skyrim sucks
Best glitch? A giant smashed Lydia and myself into pancakes. After reloading, she was still dead on the ground. However, her lifeless corpse kept following me around like a normal follower, merrily sliding along the ground after me.
I always loved picking a random direction, going in it, than being forcibly drafted into the local giant space program.
If you save game, then slap a merchant then load your game you reset the gold and inventory.
This has been my favourite ZP video
Now I really want to play the video game Legend of the Godzilla Boy. I bet it's a pretty good platformer.
And with skyrim anniversary edition it feels like trying to mod it is getting kicked in the balls!
Woah, Skyrim happened 9 years ago? Almost makes me want to wait another year on a replay.
"This needs a hardcore survival mode."
Wish fucking granted, dude.
Also, fishing is a thing now, too.

Goodness even after 9 years he still feels the same
My favourite glitch was when I had been in someone's house, talking with them normally. Then I heard the flying of multiple metal objects , looked around, to see that persons child half in the floor so I could only see a torso. I spoke yo the child who wanted to play hide and seek , she ducked and suddenly she was gone from the game.
This is like reading a roman book review of the Bible
Air-O-Plane
Here's a glitch story of mine. I once ended up killing a hostile vampire in the middle of a town. Came back later to find like 6 children gathered around it, touching it inappropriately. The moment they saw me they all slowly stood up and began sprinting in the other direction. Weirdest shit I've ever seen in this game.
2012: We have too many linear games
2021: Please stop making open world games
Funny how times change
The guy who sells horses on Whiterun duplicated himself and then his clone sank waist high into the ground and then stayed there for the rest of the run no matter what I did to him.
my best glitch was when i returned to a farmer to find him standing next to an identical twin who's bottom half was sunk into the floor and who would speak in perfect unison with each other.
tried shouting the poor clone free, didn't work and got the local guards on my ass for my attempted heroism
Roleplaying a man with a crippling fear of victory and success is much easier in Morrowind.
I randomly decided to rewatch this video because I got back into Skyrim recently, and…Oh Yahtzee. I don't think there is a more adequate representation of "be careful what you wish for" then hearing Yahtzee beg for more open world games and less linear shooters ten years ago, given his recent gripes. XD
JUst bought the game for the first time. Im enjoying it tanks to yatzee.
has Yahtzee done a "Zero Punctuation" on skyrims survival mode?
its funny watching this post brexit when you realise skyrim and the stormguard are basically nationalist
I went up to a Word Wall once and absorbed the Word, as you do, went into my menu to spend a Wyvern Soul to get it and yet found I didn't have any new Words to learn! Reloaded the Save and the same thing happened again!
Then in another dungeon, while I was inspecting a door that was barred on the other side, I somehow managed to get my crosshair in jus the right spot to lift said bar! On console! Haven't managed it again, though, sadly…
Another time, a great big Wyvern landed in front of me on a mountain pass, I hit it a couple of times with the Mehrunes Razor, saw my HP was low and ducked into a nearby stone hut to heal, but then noticed the Wyvern wasn't breathing fire at me any more! Turned out I'd insta-killed it with the Razor! Okay, not a bug or a glitch, but I felt it needed sharing as I thought it was a pretty cool story…
I'm surprised that the tone was so positive with this one, despite Skyrim's myriad flaws.
Who's still here?
That's a lot more positive review than I initially expected.
There's thankfully a glitch to restore the shopkeeper's gold. Quicksave, kill them and quickload and they'll have their inventory refreshed. Although I never bothered with it much because I already have way more gold than I can spend anyway lol.
Had a bunch of bugs with Serana. In the quest where you had to gather water to get entrance to the temple, she would keep looping around in a single area and not follow me. Had to quicksave to fix that.
Another time was after beating Harkon. She got stuck in an attack position and it wasn't possible to talk to her at all. Had to beat her up to return her to normal.
Oh and a bonus bug with Aela. After getting the first totem, she just forgot about it and disappeared from the game lol. Somehow the fix for this was to sleep for 2 days and she just magically appeared beside my bed and the quest finished normally.
Every time Skyrim gets a re release, this video gets 200 more comments.
Can't believe Yahtzee didn't play the multiplayer mod, what a hack
I have encountered quiet a few of those while playing Starfield 4:37
11 years later and the cooking pot, dog-bollock, piñata still has me in absolute hysterics, partly because it's an excellent joke delivery but mostly because my memory is so poor you could use it to strain spaghetti and every time is like the first time.
God look at the list of games yahtze was complaining about getting through, battlefield 3, resistance 3, saints row the third, ac revelations, and now playing skyrim. He did not know how good he had it
I actually took the imperial option first, they seemed to have the bigger military power so I wanted to get buddy buddy
Through the twelve years since this games release I have heard tons of stories about the glitches in it and the rest of the Bethesda games. But I still wasn't prepared to see what I have seen now that I'm playing the game for the first time.
– Water is utterly glitched. Anytime I'm in an area with water it flickers and drawing and sheating weapons and attacking is glitched and it plays the animation constantly for a while.
– I've encountered more than few invicible walls! Usually in the tombs with the revolving stone walls. Nice that the game blocks my attempts to advance in the game!
– Anytime I drop a bridge, or an enemy opens a coffin the bridge/lid is glitched for a minute and I cannot step on it lest the game jumps my character around.
– Floating animals are extremely common and some of them are flickering too!
I wanted to experience the vanilla Skyrim, but these glitches are starting to get really on my nerves…
Happy 12 year and 1 month anniversary of the Yahtzee review of Skyrim everyone, here's to 12 more until TES6, may our squandered hopes of a good sequel be inherited by our children and our children's children. It is the only inheritance they will realistically get along with our steam libraries full of anime tiddy profile backgrounds and indie games, god knows those are the only good games coming out these days.
My favourite glitch was a recent one, the armoured mudcrab disappearing into the ground, then returning to float a foot off the ground, then disappearing into the ground again
