Let's Play Skyrim - Part 22

[MrTehAlex]

"I don't wanna be walking around with no bloody footwear! I might tread on a slug or something. I mean, who cares if I tread on fire, or spikes, or (wtf) pain! But a slug... can you imagine that?"

[Kosba2]

Funny he keeps talking about how he only picks up things with great/massive weight-price ratios, when Lockpicks and Arrows have a practically infinite one..

[ImperialGoldfish]

If you don't want to do conjuration, why did you pick a Breton? Their main bonus is in conjuration.

[ArchmageMelek]

@ImperialGoldfish Bretons looked like the most magical human-like race available. It seemed most appropriate for Melek.

[davidandkaze]

I'm not endorsing it, but I don't think there's anything inherently illegal with necromancy, not saying it's not immoral, just not always illigal.

[changelingchild1]

I like the book "Troll Slaying" in this game. It's kinda funny.

[ericshadowblade]

in a battle between those of the same element the stroger element wins

[Galev12]

Oh and about the actual gameplay: could you please use magelight? The darkness in most dungeons is somewhat eyestraining and annoying. It may also help you too, to see better and since Melek is not a sneaky one, it wouldn't inconvinience you either. I know that there are about 20 videos I didn't watch, but still I wanted to say this. (Also, thanks for reading out that book, it was nice)

[Galev12]

Melek, didn't you by chance do voice acting for Dungons&Dragons Online? Or maybe you played it? You sound like an NPC from that game to me. Especially at 6:26 [or maybe it's just some typical accent?]

[ImpureDarkness]

Melek you gotta duel wield spells more its alot more mage-like

[brawllovers101]

why is thisrated M it should be T or something!

[ArchmageMelek]

@brawllovers101 I do sometimes let a swear word slip out. Maybe that's what does it?

[Peter4101]

@ArchmageMelek 18:23 You passed right over the book you were looking for. XD

[yort242]

Think of it like this your taking their energy not their soul.

[kidofburden]

Maybe they use magic to turn the mercury into a solid?

[Sargeif]

DISLIKE THE AMOUNT OF CHESTS YOU MISS :(

8:32 theres one to your right and chests have lots of loot.

[batlin]

I guess the quicksilver ingot is an alloy? Probably the same with most metals like iron pyrites etc.

[TheeLuigishow]

That was an epic reading.

[thedude343100]

you are awsome melek

[PepsiEpic]

WOOHOO ZERO DISLIKES :) NICE JOB MELEK

[lolman3478]

taking somethings soul is NOT evil unless you take a playable race soul and place it in a black soul gem

[GunsofSummer628]

Hey Melek, you were talkin about necromancers being evil and thinking that stealing souls isn't evil because all enchants use them: that made me think of my personal main weapon; A Daedric battleaxe with absorb health named Gorehowl, and I enjoy feeding it the souls of my victims. Maybe not ALL magic is evil, but the magic that IS evil certainly is fun. >:D

[lancearmada]

as good as each element is, im going to go with being a storm mage. as much as fire and frost are good, electricity is just cooler in my opinion. after all if you are realistic, lightning is allot more hot than fire. and more destructive.

[XxABCxCarminexEpicxX]

4:15 lol "sneak attack!" *boosh* *dead*

[tickletoes0]

Use the staffs especially the staff of paralysis staff

[GormathiusFilms]

the way i see it, these mages make too many enemies. first the necromancers, now elemental mages? when will it end?

[Molinjir]

I'm still wondering why you keep picking up all that booze. You never use it and its bloody useless anyway. In game terms at least. Nothing wrong with a few good pints every now and then.

[ArchmageMelek]

@Molinjir It has a decent value to weight ratio and plenty of places will buy it.

[Molinjir]

@ArchmageMelek

Interesting point, but the overall value changes depending on your speech skill, so you'll likely only be able to sell most of your stuff for half of their overall value.

[DrGlowDick]

@Molinjir Doesnt booze give you stamina?

[akaChriss]

Get the Bound Sword Spell. It's very efficant and cost little to cast. You can get it at dragonsreach from the mage there. Go get it Melek!

[ArchmageMelek]

@akaChriss It's very tempting but then I'll need to start spending perks on conjuring which I was trying to avoid.

[akaChriss]

@ArchmageMelek Well, still it's better than most normal swords. Even if you don't upgrade any perks. And well getting some skill in comjuring isn't bad. And well, bound bow is alwso very good. 5-10 arrows kill's a giant. 10-20 arrows kills a dragon. Well, good hunting! :)

[t3hzb0t]

Also, get Lightning spells. They're very good against mages, because lightning also damages Magicka.

[t3hzb0t]

Y U NO DUAL-CAST??

[Zombieslaya666]

400th video WOOT

[xBUBBA1995x]

We all love you melek. =)

No homo from me but you do have and girls ;)

[2cheapful]

@archmagemelek really melek really? "well i think they should really be gotten rid of, there doing necromancy and all sorts of nasty things that arn't good for anyone. anyway i've got to get that spell that allows me to steal people's souls" ........ya. your not evil at all. lol nice job

[Sonic2918vids]

@2cheapful because stealing a soul once the person is dead, is perfectly fine :) they wont be needing it, and after all melek can make all them lovely enchantments..

[Nightrobber100]

or atleast a summoner, thats if you could be...

[Nightrobber100]

melek, please be a necromancer!!!!!

[GildedCrossfire]

@Nightrobber100 DO YOU PAY ATTENTION! NECROMANCERS ARE EVIL AND DISGUSTING... and most likely a necrophiliac

[ArchmageMelek]

@Nightrobber100 Never! Death to necromancers! XD

[MrZhabadasher]

@ArchmageMelek Hey Melek, in the book at around 22:00, 'mer' refers to elves. All elven clans have 'mer' in their name; Altmer (high elves), Dunmer (dark elves), and Bosmer (wood elves), and the long dead Dwemer (Dwarves, or deep ones), and the not-so-mythical snow elves Falmer.

[sharkypw]

not the best common sense melek using a fire spell on fire mages

[ArchmageMelek]

@sharkypw Yeah, it's the only non-apprentice spell I had at the time. Getting a good selection of offensive spells is a must I've found.

[Kosba2]

@ArchmageMelek You mean besides Frostbite which is exactly what you should be using against FIRE Mages?

[TheNuclearBird]

i never read the books :D

[RavenscarGhost]

Melek, have you ever thought of getting the Summon Flame Atronach spellbook? :3 It's a lot tougher than your familiar (as you've seen from fighting them) and flings firebolts at enemies with you.

[lolwtfmanrofl]

@ArchmageMelek new name for you dude, Melek The Merciless

[kodeake]

are you aware that if you eat your potion ingrediants you will descover one of their effects every time you eat one?

like so he can see!

[OzN1nja]

you really do enjoy killing your allies dont you melek.... :<

[1freak1015]

Get the thunder storm thing so you can kamehameha!

[TheMoj0man]

):D

[TheMoj0man]

Dude your videos are EPIC I found out about this game because of u thanks! Btw (I know this is a stupid question but Is this game for PS3 ? PS3rulz

[SnowBoarderX94]

@TheMoj0man first of all, ps3 sucks. now that that's out of the way, yes. skyrim is for everything but the wii (of course). how the hell havent you heard of this?

[ArchmageMelek]

@TheMoj0man Xbox, PS3 and PC. Obviously if you have a PC powerful enough to run Skyrim then that's the best choice. But I'm sure you'll still enjoy it on a silly console. XD

[SteelBug12341]

story time with melek :D

[ItsTheSecretAsian]

Melek, have you, or would you ever consider doing a Let's Play of Oblivion or Morrowind? I would love to see a let's play of either, and your let's play's are honestly the only ones I like.

[user2213435]

hey melek maybe when ur close to a river or some water or some fire or a cliff maybe u can pull the bodies into the river? ps use sneak more

[awasomeguy123]

Melek u do know necromancy isn't band in skyrim I've pondered in the art of redirection my self I can tell u it isn't evil I any way just a little disturbing :D

[ArchmageMelek]

@awasomeguy123 I'm still very likely to kill them all though. Stinking necromancers...

[awasomeguy123]

@ArchmageMelek i might sleep with 1 eye open tonight ull never know what kind of necromantic monstrosities might be coming for u >:)

[twixman22]

Melek I think after u done with skyrim u should go for the other ending of dark messiah

[XBLADEX12345]

@twixman22 Skyrim is a VERY long game... so don't be expecting that for a long time IF Melek even decides to do so :D

[twixman22]

@XBLADEX12345 Yea i didnt think about that

[matthijs333111]

As always a lovely +1! And a like of course!

[JerryBeatFreak]

Oh and Melek. Quicksilver ingots are impossible? Well, you're shooting fire and ice from your hands.....

[ubernoobgames]

Melek, to get a huge amount of dps for a low amount of mana, dual cast sparks, but rather than hold the mouse buttons, tap them, that way enemies take damage from both the spell itself and the aftershock that it leaves :D

[denubisx]

It's probably worth investigating lightning-based spells as well, as they damage magica in addition to health. Thanks for playing a fascinating character and not swearing like an unimaginative sailor.

[JerryBeatFreak]

You're what? Unburnabble?

[TheRogueWolf]

Mer = Elves, such as Altmer, Bosmer, Dunmer. Funny though that Man is an all-encompassing term for Human, even though there's several different subtypes in Tamriel (Nord, Imperial, Redguard, Breton- though Bretons are actually of mixed human/elf blood).

Elder Scrolls lore is WEIRD sometimes.

[IceFireBlast]

Melek, you suck at having allies. Everyone you've had you've killed!

[TruRDM]

Over since September* sorry.

[TruRDM]

I realize you're in the UK, so the Holiday has been over with for a while, but Happy US Thanksgiving!

[barronzaren]

@TruRDM we dont celabrate thanksgiving, but the sentiment is welcome :)

[TheLidalgo]

Melek, I'm not sure, but I think Black Soul Gems are the only evil ones.

[TheRogueWolf]

@TheLidalgo I don't think they're evil, per se, but they're the only soul gems capable of containing the soul of one of the intelligent races (human / elf / beastfolk) or Dremora (demons).

[ExecutorArkanis]

This reminds me of Magicka: Spam firebolt!

[brad2778]

Need next episode Melek! please? i love this tooo much

[geertsyful]

Storytime with melek!!!

[TonyVachterberg]

YAY, Melek story telling :D

[sneakywolfshoe]

I like trains.

[ArchmageMelek]

@sneakywolfshoe No, no, wait! *squish*

[iLikeLawngnomes]

getting someones soul is not evil, If they attack you that means you are only taking a evil soul and trapping it in a stone where it cant harm anyone. If you get a good soul you are only useing him to kill evil so that someone else who is good wont be hurt.

[CaveDwellerx]

I think you are pretty much the only person I watch now... you've cursed me with your fell wizard magic!... Not that I'm complaining or anything :l

[iLikeLawngnomes]

melek you should get into smithing, i have the armor you get at the beggining of the game (iron) and its better then any armor i can get now cause i upgraded it, dwarven and elven are worse.... or if you dont need armor its a great way to make money

[dannywuk1]

can you do a hour long episode of skyrim plz : )

[mrTNT444]

books books yaylol

[YesItsOlliee]

They're running off because you're using a sword of fear

[GnoneEpic]

@YesItsOlliee No shit

[Wouter10123]

@YesItsOlliee No shit, Sherlock!

[bigdog8019]

@Wouter10123 bite a guys head off... jez

[dakota03291]

melek you need a counjoration spell to get petty soul gems

[Sdwaggy]

Oh Melek, you always kill those close to you.

[MrFlapjack247]

And melek you should do a goodnight story at the end of every video.

[MrNoZedd]

Melek the only spell that can trap a soul i ahve seen is a enchantment which i use, but it isn't all good as you need different sized jems for different creatures and it a 'If the target hit with this die's within (Changeable depending on how many changes you want) second's it's soul will be captured (In the appropriate sized soul jem otherwise it's useless)' and i found it in a weapon which i disenchanted, Id do it with a dagger if i was you.

[ArchmageMelek]

@MrNoZedd Conjuration school has a spell called Soul Trap. It pretty much does the same the thing as that enchantment.

[t3hzb0t]

Why survive because you have big defense, when you can survive because you've killed all who can hurt you. Offense>Defense :P

[Feodalherre]

Im extremely tired every morning due to being forced to stay up waiting for your next episode. Damn you :p <3

[MrFlapjack247]

Your spamming the fire shot a bit much i know it needn't be overlooked you could mix it up a bit but then again these guys arnt to be taken lightly being mages and all. And can i just say that im level 26 and i still haven't found the magic university :/

[ArchmageMelek]

@MrFlapjack247 Oh, you should find it as soon as you can! The rewards for completing it are certainly awesome enough!

[croftywho]

what would theses certain activities be ;p? lol

[madzlol111]

its 10.00 at night and im watching melek while eating a mulliar corner and drinking apple water... top comment?? XDXDXD

[TheShiverblade]

nvm didnt see the rest of the video before i wrote..

[minernoob90]

@ArchmageMelek use conjuration more because there's a perk that makes bound weapons automatically soul trap so that you can get soul gems whenever you want while fighting

[TheShiverblade]

why not take the necromancers boots, their not armor their cloth boots..

[EV00100]

thank you

[lovessniping]

Why are you so awesome Melek?

[tommystar101]

How do you send private messages?

[darkalleyheroes]

At this rate, you will get to 50 episodes in Skyrim before you get to 50 episodes in freakin Season 2!
