Too many VR KZread focus on just the violence in the games and mask it as comedy, this wonderful Scottish man just focuses on his natural comedy. Makes it feel so immersive with all the hand gestures also 😂 10/10

The pawned prawn bit about him wanting to retire to fish.... When he is a retired fisherman and got the store instead

So glad I'm not the only one who prattles on to the NPCs like they're actually sentient. The difference is my dialogue at them is usually just me bitching about how their bugs just cost me multiple hours of gameplay.

English is my second language and watching Simon lecture every Skyrim NPC really helps in learning to understand different dialects/accents XD

Oh and Belethor being creepy to the ladies who shop there doesn't help his rating. Sadri apparently hides the trading cards under the counter so no one can steal them.

Birna's Oddments gets 5 stars from me, because it's one of those few very good interiors to make stable savefiles before deleting entire modlists. Had to do this once and thanks to the fact that the game and it's engine don't have to load and render too many things when reloading the savefile, it actually does that and "just works". So yeah 10/5 for Birna's Oddments. I still to this day have no clue what she is selling, though.

That look on Belethor's face when he's popping through the transaction interface is absolutely hiliarous.

Simon, to ask a dunmer why their windows are shut in the dark and cold Windhelm, what a grand and intoxicating innocence. Not to mention that Sadri was clearly as helpful and friendly as he could be, living in a slum surrounded by racists. Come now, Simon - son of Sheogorath, come and look upon the great history of Morrowind and the false gods of the Tribunal and what of the longevity of the elves? I bet Sadri remembers the great island of Vvardenfell, as he was most likely alive during the time it all happened, after all 200 years is nothing to a mer, unlike a man. To treat him with such disrespect by coming into his store and criticising everything, when he has so little to spare, and on top of that to give him only 2 stars. Truly you are a fetcher of an n'wah. Oh also which ENB are you using?

umm sorry who was living in a slum surrounded by racists. There are only 2 confirmed racists in Windhelm. Which is the city with the highest population of Dunmer. In fact the next time you play take a trip through and listen to the way they speak then watch them. Literally the Dunmer in Windhelm are as bad as the Thalmor elsewhere. Oh no you only have this slum available and you won't kick your own people out of their homes for us noble dark elves of Morrowind you racist pig. Oh why don't you just accept that we are superior to you and bow before your dark elf overlords. Seriously dude go play Morrowind and then tell me how racist the denzins of Windhelm are/

I pretty much never use the general stores, mostly the alchemists and blacksmiths. Here's my favorite alchemy stores in terms of cozyness: #1 Angelines Aromatics (Solitude), #2 The White Phial(Windhelm), #3 Arcadias Cauldron (Whiterun), #4 Hags Cure (Markath). The other ones look kinda the same so not really anything memorable about them.

This is just the best. This is the funniest Skyrim video I've ever seen 🤣
