every time spiff was saying he was borrowing the gold or stealing it i just imagined his character loudly proclaiming "TODD TAX" and walking away with their money.

"You're coming through twice" "Wait I just had 2 tabs open" Peak gaming

"You can't go up to the man just because he has working legs." - we were taught that in school too, sage advice.

1:42:03 Missed a Goblet, failed gobo, no gold no goblets no glory.

I would legitimately watch many hours of this, I agree with others that it should be an ongoing series.

Doing Sheogoraths quest gives you a free bed in a warm location, the bedroll in the Pelagius wing. Free sleeping there. Then go around and gather ingredients, turn those into potions, turn the potions into gold, gold into food and a follower for combat... Easy.

The outrageous rules are the problem. "Todd, why do you make the game so good, but so frustrating?" All the frustration is self-inflicted. Legendary difficulty, Survival Mode, and self-imposed equipment and abilities restrictions that are grossly unrealistic. He's setting himself up for failure. He could still make it challenging without going so far over the top that he gives himself zero chance of success, which is what he's done. If he wants his characters to be suicidal, he could just lob them off the top of the Throat of the World and be done with it.

My favorite line is the one where Sheogorath says, "Fixed is such a subjective term. I think 'treated' is far more appropriate, don't you?" hit home how psych issues work.

1:53:00 Spiff: Implies the imperials don't test before accepting you into their ranks. Also Spiff, but 20 seconds later: Gets sent on a test to join the imperials. Not gonna take sides here, but the stormcloaks only send you to kill one enemy for their test. They also give potions if you are lower than level 20. Which one is truly testing you? Think the stormcloaks might make the challenge a bit easier.

Realistically the imperials send you on what would be a suicide mission for anyone who isn't essentially a demigod, by comparison the Stormcloaks actually give you a mission that is possible and poisons to help you. From a challenge perspective imperials are better but the game paints the empire as undeniably evil.

The new pokemon is skyrim levels of exploitable, just in case you're interested in taking a break from your usual genres.

It's runs like these that make me wonder if I'm the only person who knows you can get free room and board in the Bannered Mare, by selling at least one piece of firewood to Hulda. Free bed, money, and supplies (barring her sword) for one piece of firewood. That you can get right outside by chopping wood. It even has a free ax right next to it.

I have the headcanon that Spiff doesn't go shopping, he just has a Missingno and a glitched abacus in his pantry, and that's how he gets food.

I had totally forgotten what a joy it was to listen to 0.5x speed "Drunk Spiff"

The one thing about legendary mode, a hard challenge isn't removing your ability to attack, it's removing friends.

I never comment, but this should 100% be an ongoing series. Perhaps shorter episodes with each character being a "season".

Damn you SPiff! You got me back into playing skyrim since your 11/11/11 video, I had been clean for years! Anyway doing a run with your exploits you've shown so far, as well as the special editions 'Survival Mode' having alot of fun with it. Although I'm stuck with the Fortified Restoration potion loop, doesn't seem to work for me.

32:32 "AH IT'S A BANDIT!!!" Almost made me do an actual spit take

Hey Spiff I had an idea that may help you in you Survive 100 days series. What if you set your starting conditions but instead of permadeath you implement a death penalty. I was thinking something like add 10 days to the run and give yourself a new restriction every time you die. That way you would be able to have a few mishaps before the run becomes impossible. You could even have the community vote on a selection of new restrictions when you die so the communi-TEA can take part in making your life hell. Hope you like the idea. Cheers!

Dude, spiff definitely was a hypnotist in a different life…now he’s a legit millionaire who’s literally figured out the infinite money exploit of real life.

Oh by the way! Another major drawback of being a vampire/werewolf in survival: you cannot become well rested, so you’ll have less time before you get drained than a regular character, thus you need to sleep more

1:51:56 "hey boy, boy I found your mum" had me laughing out loud 🤣

Maybe for the 104 day challenge, play as Todd Howard's cat. Kahjit get warmth bonus and can eat raw foods in survival without getting sick.

This video is the best thing for sleeping problems, been trying 3 days now to finish it and 3 times I fell asleep, like a little toddler who's been told a bedtime story. Amazing I'm gonna try for a 4th time just from the last point I remember seeing. Totally recommend it for insomniacs.

should play as support, only allow your follower to be the "Main Character" Allowed: upgrade their weapons and armor Allow enchantment on their equipment and your own equipment, 25% enhance enchantment one of each 4 pieces of items or one item with 100% enhance enchantment Can't Allow: can't go over 100% enchanting enhancement

I feel like this challenge would be a lot more fun if Spif at least fished, mined, or cut trees. Sure picks and axes are weapons, but more importantly they're tools

Considering Keanu's IRL persona hinges on his charisma and ability to communicate (via acting) I'd have expected him to be incarnate as an imperial! Also, I'd love to see you ATTEMPT to exploit Skyrim while playing WITH THE UNOFFICIAL PATCH. No restoration loop! 😆

Can I just say thank you for putting a description that actually, y'know, DESCRIBES the video? ;) It's almost like the description is a way for people to know what content to expect... Yet most channels I see never use it for this purpose. With such a long video it's very helpful especially the comparison to other channels.

I havent played or seen anything about skyrim in 7 years or so and it baffled me when I realized how close Whiterun is to Spiffs starting location. The world is FAR smaller than I remember. Its weird.

33:54 Lol, 😂😂😂😂 "Thank for watching today ..."

You know what's nice about watching the unedited game play? No blinding cutaway images. :)

I would like to see something like this but with different requirements. For example: You are allowed to fight, but you are not allowed to use magic (means no flaming swords or any spells).

I love how you can be afraid of enemys again. Begin totally OP is entertaining, but somehow takes a good part of the fun away. On the other hand, no combat in a combat centric game is odd to me as well.. Please don't be too restrictive. Here's my inspiration for 103+days, feel free to adapt: Get Legacy of the Dragonborn and LAL as relic hunter FARRISON HORD or CRARA LOFT: No stealing (despite for the museum, don't use), no pickpocketing, no killing unless you have already been spotted/attacked. You must not buy anything, only use what you find, mine, harvest, craft or loot. No follower. Still too easy? Then do not use any perks in your skill tree Looking forward to next attempt
