The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Through The Mind Of A Legendary Assassin

[594phantom]

u need the gloves from db to do x30 dmg with dagger :p

[RobbieV25]

@GlitchWorld it is his favorites... If u play Xbox as I do u go into inventory and hit y on item then hit up on dpad then it pops up hope it helps

[OsirisGrimoire]

Best assassin gameplay! It was awesome how you honored the Draugr Scourge by killing him face to face XD

[joethebluepikmin12]

Phfft kahjit are the boss assassins

[MADtrippin]

why are you using iron arrows at level 28? they do 8 damage while glass i think do 20 or so. you would have been able to two shot that scorge or whatever it is.

[StrikingPrey]

@FearJeff It's a perk haha

[Brilyent71]

awesome vid man, i lol'd

[seeker296]

The assassins one true weakness. Lag!

[FearJeff]

dude noob question.

how do i roll like you!

(seriously how do i roll -.-)

[seeker296]

@FearJeff Get the perk and press sprint

[Minimalici0us]

2:31 he took an arrow to the knee xD

[GlitchWorld]

0:58

how do you get that fast weapon switch menu?

[ShotAlchemy]

I will honor him by showing my face

[ShotAlchemy]

"She digs me" LOL

[AddeKanal]

hey what race are you playing as? reply fast please i'm making my sin tomorrow and im curious what you play :)

[Hobbadz]

@AddeKanal He wrote the race in the beginning ;). but he's a Wood Elf

[AddeKanal]

@Hobbadz oh, thanks =)

[WootMapler]

Love the way you do these

[iiGECKO8]

your video is so fucking raw!!!! but could you make a skill tree vid of what perks u did for thus character

[Pain0rDeath]

hey how do u do the cool assassination animation cuz since i play on the ps3 version whenever i hold r1 i just do a power attack instead of an animation

[zergapollo]

@Pain0rDeath Don't hold the button :D It won't work if you hold it because it will only do a power attack :P

[TheBlackKatana]

Maybe it's me but, my follower usually ends up blowing my cover.

[zergapollo]

@TheBlackKatana I tell her, Lydia, to wait before I enter somewhere or I keep her at my house :D

[Kabur111]

Wow this vid was awesome, I think it earned you a subscriber :D

By the way, now I'm playing a full mage high elf, but I think I will skip the thieves guild and brotherhood quests just so that I can play an assasin after that and still have things to explore.

How do you think I should do it? Do a few whiterun quests to get decent sneak and then go to thieves guild and brotherhood(which one first?) or screw mainquesting?

Also, what about perks? Do you not lack enchanting and smithing at all?

[zergapollo]

@Kabur111 I honestly have done like the first 5 or 6 main quests lmao I should get on that.... I would suggest trying to level sneak, like you said, and then go for the thieves guild since it's very sneak-oriented (might be a bit of a challenge)

It's what I did. So my sneak would be even higher before I went to assassinate people ;] They never see me coming!

[randomstuffz2]

I have a question, I am a sneky type player. How should i aim when i aim whit my bow? If i am trying to hit the persons head should i then have the "cross" a bit over the targets head or sshould i just aim directly at the head?(if we assume that i am att medium lenght away from the target...)

[zergapollo]

@randomstuffz2 Aim below the target's head. If you notice, I don't usually aim above or at someone's head unless they are actually a good distance away. it takes practice getting used to the aim and whatnot

[SoCalAries]

too much writing. "Stop" and "check" are redundant. way too much text. tone it down a little because it's like the girl that cries wolf, by the time you've said something meaningful, we've already lost interest. just constructive criticism, i know you're trying to get more views.

[zergapollo]

@SoCalAries Well thanks! But I'm saying what goes on in MY head at the time, not so much just informative as some people may think it's supposed to be xD And I can only get about 1/3 of what's actually going on because my mind works really quick and no one would be able to read sentences that quick. If I made a commentary it'd sound like I was rapping or an auctioneer how fast I'd have to speak hahah But thanks for the tips!

[zergapollo]

@SoCalAries I looked back at this and realized something: Stop and check are not redundant. You can check while moving, but you need to stop when looking over a ledge in case someone is looking in your direction, sure I could have just went over, but that's not what a real assassin, or someone infiltrating an area, would do. Also, "Too much writing" and "way too much text" is redundant. lol

[SoCalAries]

@zergapollo The amount of text is excessive. Your actions should speak for themselves in most instances. Unless they cannot be expressed and bear extra explanation, it is superfluous. Not to mention that this game does not require this level of proactive threat detection. A lot of the "stealthy" aspects of this video don't actually help you in any way, they are better applied to games like metal gear solid or deus ex.

[zergapollo]

@SoCalAries I know myself that my actions speak for themselves, but most people (And I really do stress the word "most") don't analyze and think about the things they see. People like you would appreciate what I do without text, but sadly, not many people are so observant and such. I will try it with less text and see how that goes, I'll test all my options as time goes along to see what people like and don't like. Then I'll make a variety of different videos according.

[zergapollo]

@SoCalAries Also, people would more likely watch a Skyrim video than the other amazing stealth games out there! Which sucks because I love Metal Gear and Deus Ex! I also play like this in Crysis 2 which is a strange feeling to do, but being able to take down 10 people in a small area without anyone noticing is extreme fun

[zergapollo]

@SoCalAries And to continue, it's not like the "girl" (Not sure if being a dick or didn't know it's actually a boy who cries wolf) who cries wolf at all. Stop and check, is it safe, scan the area, things you HAVE to do in real life or you WILL die. I apply real life tactics into video games to make it more fun, instead of using video game tactics. I could have easily walked through the whole thing in sneak mode and just go past everyone in plain sight without being detected. But that's not real

[SoCalAries]

@zergapollo All I'm saying is that it's distracting and annoying to be bombarded by every single thought going through your head, especially when they are superfluous and uninformative. 

[SoCalAries]

@zergapollo I otherwise enjoyed the video, but the text IMO should be toned down by a third or even two thirds to make a more concise, poignant and interesting video.

[zergapollo]

@SoCalAries I mean, I agree with you but I'm just trying to show that to be a true assassin, you have to think out every move before you make it as fast as you can to be successful. I feel like if I took out the text, it would look like I'm just kinda moving around, but with every single movement I make, there is a reason behind it unlike most people who play video games that just do whatever without thinking. They solve problems when they occur, I make sure no problems ever occur.

[zergapollo]

@SoCalAries So to say "we've" already lost interest (Implying that the other people raving about my playstyle are actually bored from my videos) means that, if put into a real life situation, "you all" would get your cover blown or, more than likely, be killed. Seeing as how I want to be a spy for the CIA and have multiple family members in the CIA who I talk to about tactics and stuff ever since I was growing up, applying said tactics any way I can will keep me at my best.

[HKLesterol]

excellent very well done *tear to eye* this reminds me of how i played assassin in oblivion - now im two handed weapon person, but i still respect the kills and all classes - i dunno if u did the quest "Boethia's Calling" i think u will REALLY enjoy that quest - and the reward is an ebony armor suit that not only looks cool BUT it also muffles you, fortifies sneaking and emits a poison gas when ur in sneak mode or in combat so anyone who is near u takes 5pts dmg evry 1sec - ask me if intrsted

[imaDINOrawr00]

so did you put perks into archery and one handers?

[zergapollo]

@imaDINOrawr00 Archery, Sneak and Pickpocketing are mostly maxed

[XaleNakaan]

I enjoyed watching this, it was different from all the old commentaries you see. Great job!

[tomat8tomten]

Nice should use dark brother hood armor instead.. the gloves are pro..

[zergapollo]

@tomat8tomten Yeah, this was my time before the Dark Brotherhood. I went for the Thieves guild first since I could focus on learning how to be more stealthy through trial and error. Being able to sneak past people without being detected and NOT being able to kill anyone really hones your stealth skills, then I went into the Dark Brotherhood and own everyone!haha

[Hjgduyhwsgah1]

LMAO she digs me :)

[prometheusconquers]

what race do you play as?

[zergapollo]

@prometheusconquers Wood Elf

[TheHacker1456]

LOL "she digs me"

[McEddi3]

fantastic videos truly. you take RPing to another level lol im sure you have a blast

[zergapollo]

@McEddi3 thanks! I really do, and if people could understand how much I "immerse" (Holding reality for a second and diving into the fictional world where everything going on is actually "real") myself into these types of games, then they'd want to try it to! I honestly don't even feel like I'm playing a game when playing this game, it's like I'm watching a movie and my instincts just kick in so I can chill back and watch crazy stuff happen! lmao xD That's just how I roll!

[ThatRandomSpectator]

Patience...Its a virtue.

[zergapollo]

@ThatRandomSpectator That's a code an Assassin lives by!

[4ECTb]

Wow, it's amazing! На какое-то время я пожалел что играю магом :D

[zergapollo]

@4ECTb Thank you! I'm not sure what you said..Google translate said something about you wishing you played a high elf mage? I'm going to use my brain and assume you said something along the lines of you playing a high elf mage :D

[4ECTb]

@zergapollo I very bad speak english, sorry) I would say I playing mage (Impire man) but after view your video I would playing assassin (I hope u understand me) :D

[zergapollo]

@4ECTb Ahh it's ok! I understood you any ways :] You should try playing an assassin! They're great fun :D

[Fierran123]

Very nice videos mate, you inspired me and my Assassin character :) I made a female Khajiit, but she does more knife assassinations, I don't really use bows much. But thanks for the videos, and keep it up because you're really good at what you do ;)

[zergapollo]

@Fierran123 Thank you! :D idk why, I love bows so much :] thanks for the comment!

[snowlion20]

This was fricking awesome, I loved the comments you were making especially "she digs me" and I loved the music.

Skyrim is a great and amazing game, but you've made it ten times better! :>



[zergapollo]

@snowlion20 lmao! Thanks :D It's just me playing guitar xD

Skyrim is a great and amazing game, I just show off it's potential ;D

[chickenhed]

Well that was pretty much spectacular.

[zergapollo]

@chickenhed I do my best to dazzle and impress. Hahaha

[Uzabi]

Great movies :D

[zergapollo]

@Uzabi Thenks for the great comment! :D

[fatherjimbo]

Awesome vids man! Only downside is that you're Bosmer :P

"Harvested!"

[zergapollo]

@fatherjimbo Thanks! And D: I'm sorry! Haha I love the bow :P "Harvested!" lol

[lkjuju]

And subbed btw, waiting for more :)

[lkjuju]

Love watching your vids dude. I play an assassin too but I've never imagined it could be played like this, You play like a true ninja. Please teach me your ways master.

[zergapollo]

@lkjuju Thank you! I play every video game with this play style, you'd be surprised what you can do! :D I play games like Crysis 2, Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, and Deus Ex just like this :P Of course adapting to the specific game items and abilities and whatnot ;D

[fedorhajdu]

Why don't you use detect life or aura whisper instead of constantly searching for targets? Makes the dungeon much faster...

[zergapollo]

@fedorhajdu Because in real life you don't have that ;p It would make things easier and faster, but it isn't as fun :P always having to be aware of your surroundings is more realistic, and being able to do so with speed and fluidity in your movements shows more skill then having everything shown for you!

[maxinkaizer]

@zergapollo totally agree

[LordRat95]

@zergapollo TOTALLY AGREED !

[R0gu3AS5ASS1N]

where did you get the soul capture enchant?

[iKarwowski]

These are really awesome, I made an assassin character thanks to you.

Also, how do you roll like that?

[jstarno]

@iKarwowski its a perk in the sneak tree

[Antoz96]

Hey man plz reply, How can u make that assasinate move in 1:03 . btw awesome vid ( :

[chromebullet101]

@Antoz96 u sneak up behind them and perform a regular attack

[R0gu3AS5ASS1N]

i keep on watching your three vids. i love them. please make more

[zergapollo]

@R0gu3AS5ASS1N Thank you so much! I made a new one, but it isn't a sneaky one...It's different ;] But I think it's my fav haha I'm still in the process of editing the other ones! So no worries.

[R0gu3AS5ASS1N]

please make more. i subbed

[TUBESTEAKNIG]

Really good video man. I made a warrior, then a mage but they weren't for me. So now I made an assasin and it's awesome! Reminds me of Splinter Cell (which is fucking awesome)

[MrSpeedox]

Bro, thanks to u i made an assassin, and i frigging love it, game got like 10x better. for me =P

[zergapollo]

@MrSpeedox Exactly! :D Glad I could help...I think Bethesda should pay me for advertising epic gameplay lmao jk

[ZxUniZebraxZ]

PLEASE!!! im begging make a video showing your skill tree and bow/daggers

[zergapollo]

@ZxUniZebraxZ In the process of making said video, I have stuff to make 3 -__- I'm working hard! Luckily I can't sleep till 6 AM (My sleep pattern is screwed up) so I have time to edit things, but my gameplay lacks a BIT, not tooo much and it's still very interesting ;], when I'm playing at 6AM with no sleep for 18 or so hours.

[artem119]

Dude this is an awesome video, keep it up.

[zergapollo]

@artem119 Thanks! And I will, along with trying different editing stuff around to see what everyone likes the best :D

[EvelienSandra]

You should make more gameplay videos of us following you trough Skyrim :D Hard to find good gameplays of people who play as an archer, assasin :P!

[zergapollo]

@EvelienSandra Ahh sounds like a plan :D See, I'm making a pretty long video and I'm not sure if I should show the boring running around part, instead make it more like a movie where I cut to the beginning of where the action begins (Or a little before that) Because 2 minutes of walking around is a bit boring. And if that's what people like, I'd happily shoot my Bow more than Daggers... I prefer the bow, but assassinating is fun :D

[zhuuster]

I have too much to learn from you! I'm looking for assassin videos on skyrim. Cause i want to be one but i dont really know how to play it. Good vids. :) any recommendation for a newcomer?

[PangCakeMember1]

i messed up my perks to lvl 13, do u still think i will be able to lvl assasin??

[jds12193]

What kind of daggers are those and what are they enchanted with? Where did you get the bow and what does it do when it says it "captures the soul" of the person you killed

[zergapollo]

@jds12193 Just Elven Daggers, I actually just picked up a Glass Dagger of Scorching so I'm pretty happy. But they were enchanted with the soul stealing and frost. I found the bow off of an Elven Archer I think..when it says that it means I've filled one of my Soul Gems so I can enchant things which I use to enchant iron daggers (Cheapest weapon to make imo) with the Banish enchant (Banishes summoned Daedric to Oblivion) and sell each dagger for 800-900 a pop

[PrototypeMM]

This video is awsome.

[zergapollo]

@PrototypeMM Thanks! But it's because Skyrim is awesome :D

[bruinshack]

can u make more like this?

[zergapollo]

@bruinshack You bet I can.. This was my first video using anything "editing" I'll learn, and the videos will get better.

[konlad1990]

I watched all your 3 videos and they are awesome. But can you tell me how exactly do you slit the enemies' throat? I can never get it. The only thing I manage is to backstab them with no animation. And most times they die at once.Do u need to have specific perks?Good work again. :)

[zergapollo]

@konlad1990 One thing I noticed is that the animation happens more if you use a right handed weapon to backstab...I just walk up behind someone and hit them with my right handed dagger and it's never failed me :P I don't think you need any perks...I'd imagine it's about placement, then again, I do just walk behind people :P My suggestion would be to try out different distances to the person and what not.

[konlad1990]

@zergapollo Ok thank you. (Subbed ^^) One last detail. The animation works only with humans right?

[zergapollo]

@konlad1990 Yeah no problem! And thanks :D Actually, I'm not too sure..I'll try and find out, unless you find out before me :P I'm a bit busy atm..

[MattBoi101]

Love it! Fancy spilling the beans on the equipment you use? Enchantments etc? I've just been converted.... :)

[LiquidBlood]

This video is hella tight

I don't own this game just yet but damn makes me wanna go right now at 12:51am pst to buy it.

Subbed and looking forward to more of your work on this game.

[zergapollo]

@LiquidBlood Thanks a bunch dude! It's only tight because it's Skyrim ;D You're missing out hella! GET THE GAME haha :P

Thanks for the sub and you'll get more work!

[rsoulburnz]

Liked and Subbed. This alone lead me to restart from a level 8 battle mage and become reborn as..... an assassin

[zergapollo]

@rsoulburnz Thank you so much! :D Goooood....very good ;D

[Uriel83l]

your a badass assassin

[zergapollo]

@Uriel83l Thanks man, appreciate the compliment. Show your friends my vids if you think they'd like it :D

[ZxUniZebraxZ]

subbed.

[zergapollo]

@ZxUniZebraxZ Thank you! I feel awesome having a subscribed person for a video I made :D

[MrChrislur]

can u make a video showing your weapons and your perks ? :D

[zergapollo]

@MrChrislur I will once I'm done with this vid I'm making of doing a couple sneaky quests.

[MrChrislur]

@zergapollo

good :) i have subbed and will be waiting :D when do u think u will have it up ?



[zergapollo]

@MrChrislur I'll make it right now, and then finish the other vid :D

[MrChrislur]

@zergapollo

thx dude :D your videos are freaking good :D i am lvl 19 assassin myself now.. not as good as u (yet)

[zergapollo]

@MrChrislur No problem :D Thanks a bunch man!! Every game I've played I've always tried to go the sneakiest the game will allow me to be, it not only takes practice to where what you do becomes instinct, but you must realize that you need to think 2, 3, 4 or even 10 steps ahead if you want to execute things correctly.. even then mistakes can be made and you need to adjust your strategy as fast as possible. It takes time :D

[keltam8]

I shit my self from 0:51 to 1:11

That was amazing.

[zergapollo]

@keltam8 Thanks dude! I'll put more vids up of me doing cool shit like that...Maybe make a montage of assassinations? Idk, we'll see :D

[swarteman]

Started a orc playing with him as a heavy fighter, get boring.

with is the best assassin race?

[zergapollo]

@swarteman It depends on your play style! The Kahjiit (Cat race) start with more sneak and I'm pretty sure they're naturally sneaky. Wood Elf starts with Archery enhanced...It all depends on play style :D

[xXZinTheAssassinXx]

Nice vid man, I like to play the stealth role of an assassin as well :D

[zergapollo]

@xXZinTheAssassinXx Thank you! :D It's quite fun if I may say so myself

[Chilled1226]

Why does your bow glow purple?

[zergapollo]

@Chilled1226 It's an enchant in which I acquire a soul gem if I kill an enemy within 2 seconds...Which is probably 85-90% of the time. I then enchant iron daggers from Smithing with BANISH spell. It sells for about 800-900 to vendors and probably cost about...Well you can buy like 17 iron ingot for 200 (Or around there) and leather strips or w/e or cheap and easy to find/make. 17 daggers for around 400? Sell each one for 800? Gain back souls on kills? :] MATH THAT

[02Innocence]

Y U NO wear the assassin clothes? They double the sneak damage ._.

[zergapollo]

@02Innocence I did/am doing the Thieves guild first to establish a base for myself (Base as in foundation) I level up my sneak and all that jazz better when doing the Thieves guild quests. Once my skills are higher (Sneak:78 Pickpocket:74 Archery:59) Then I'm going to do the Dark Brotherhood missions...

Plus my (SPOILER) Nightingale Armor is awesome looking xD

[stigemann1]

how do you zoom in? xD

[hidan407]

@stigemann1

its a perk ^_^

[zergapollo]

@stigemann1 Archery perk! Slows down time by 25% as well. At level 60 archery you can level the perk up again for 50% slow

[hidan407]

AWESOME BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zergapollo]

@hidan407 Thanks bro! haha :D I'm probably going to do the Dark Brotherhood quests next

[hidan407]

@zergapollo

PLEASE. cause all the other vids i saw of DB, they FUCKED it all up. cant sneak for shit, and they get caught. but not you, you dont even let them know you are there. only to honor them if they are toguh. then stab them with dual ELEVEN daggers?

[zergapollo]

@hidan407 I haven't seen any videos of people playing the DB quests...I mean, I've seen that there are a LOT of people doing them, but I KNOW I could make each quest way more interesting than the rest ;D I'll probably become corrupt maybe during the DB quest and really hone in on my psychotic side :O

[hidan407]

@zergapollo

trust me, you DONT want to see them. the guys non stop talk with commentaries. cant sneak. fight like a dumbass. and gets detected a mile away. they mock the way of the assassin, i know you can do WAY better than them :D

[hidan407]

@zergapollo

elven i meant XD

[coleman0505]

That was cool, how long did it take to make?

[zergapollo]

@coleman0505 Thanks man! lol it probably took about 9 hours-ish? Mainly because I did two hours work one night and then accidently deleted the whole thing -__- But this is my first time actually ever trying to edit something xD I learn as I go along and it's fun :D

[coleman0505]

@zergapollo Awesome :P

[zergapollo]

@coleman0505 Yeah! haha Well I'm glad you thought it was cool, hopefully other people do as well!
