 NEW UPDATE! Episode 14: Mr. Puffles Goes to ALF-Land It's called Alftand. I'm an idiot. Also, Marcurio goes missing at some point. It's pretty unfortunate.

Mr Puffles should take a short trip to Dawnstar and trade/borrow some stuff from a fellow Khajiit before continuing the plot, since he'll never be that far north again. The lady left their stuff only partially buried in the snow, after all. Looting poo poo from the secret Dawnstar merchant chest is totally fair, it was never patched out even in the rerelease. Plus it means you can actually show off that Skooma exists. Also, if you ever lose him, Mercurio will go back to where you originally hired him if he loses track of you for three days. Since you had to pay to hire him, though, you'll have to pay him again.

I don't know what the exact timeframe for that is though.

There's one quest where you are "sneaking" with some useless npc's and one of them comments on how powerful and deadly the centurions are and you can plink it with an arrow to make it fight the nearby falmer. It dies pretty much instantly doing no real damage because falmer are powered by bullshit modifiers towards health and damage.

There's a horrific detail hinted at in one of those Falmer camps Mr. Puffles set on fire. They were skinning their victims and making people-leather out of them.

I am so happy someone giffed that. Also, I'm calling off the Paarthurnax vote not only because I've now recorded the final few videos of the main quest, but because Don't kill was handily winning it. A new vote will be coming soon, and this one will be veeery interesting!

*UZworm and company giggling about Falmer earwax* You guys laugh at the stupidest poo poo. Also, Mr. Puffles is badly in need of Heavy Armour skill, resist potions and resist enchantments to keep the Falmer and Dwemer automatons from putting the hurt on him. Fortify Carry Weight wouldn't hurt either.

All right, so the rest of the main quest has been recorded and commentary is ready for it! Expect video 15 to be up and at 'em tomorrow morning. (Or, I guess, this morning if it's already the 24th where you are.)

The problem with getting the defense skills up is they're based on getting hit and how much damage you take, and it doesn't take spells into account. The fastest way to level up would be to repeatedly get smacked around by a giant, but you have to be able to survive everything a giant can throw at you and heal it back up to use that method. There's also the lazy method of getting a few Fortify Health Regeneration effects on gear, getting in a brawl with someone, and then going to sleep IRL, leaving the console on for 8+ hours and your opponent punching you for not enough damage to outpace your natural healing. Add a rubber band if you want to level block (albeit leveling block severely slows down or prevents you from leveling Armor). That said, if you want to reach the armor cap without leveling Heavy Armor, you'll need Steel Plate or better and either 100 smithing or some smithing potions and gear. That's stupid nerd poo poo though and I don't think Mr Puffles is gonna bother with it unless he happens to

Two of the best glitches I had were a good chunk of the ground going missing inside Whiterun, which allowed me to jump down onto the overworld terrain underneath and go crawling around under the city, and a HUGE section of ground and cliffside going missing in Solitude which actually allowed me to get at the merchants' chests. This was on PS3, mind you, which means the merchants' stuff is usually completely inaccessible. edit: JFC UZWORM YOU AIM LIKE AN IMPERIAL STORMTROOPER GrandTheftAutism fucked around with this message at 05:59 on Dec 25, 2016 |

Mercurio: "I have prepared Sir's Falmer ears. Sir wanted extra wax, yes?" Mr. Puffles: "drat right I did! Did you make that side of giant toe?" Mercurio: "I graduated Winterhold for this son of a Of course, sir. Well done, as per Sir's instructions." Mr. Puffles: "Good. Now go kill that Centurion for me."

NEW UPDATE Episode 16 - Mr. Puffles, Master Tactician We're almost done with the main quest! Gotta trap a dragon and get another word to one of my favorite shouts before we go to Sovngarde, though. News: My aim has improved in this video, but I make up for it by getting hosed up by an immobile fire trap and getting ruined by a gate that didn't have the chain to open it literally next to the door.

Maridia's quest is indeed terrible (or however you spell her name). Same linear corridors as usual but all enemies are stuck at level 1 and die in one hit except for the last guy who is a higher-level-than-you mage with a ton of mana and area spells. It also has annoying unskippable dialog with someone who just goes on for way too long, as usual. Nice that you saved the amazing ride to the doorstep of Sovngarde for the next video.

Try beating Malkoran with a Dunmer mage (negligible frost resistance yay) with Lydia pulling aggro for you and then tell me how bad you had it, scrub. The quest reward - Dawnbreaker - is well worth the trouble, though, since it is ridiculously overpowered in the early game. Ditto with Mephala's quest.

Lydia is terrible, why are you bringing her? Always bring awesome  waifu instead.Also why are you complaining as a dunmer, you have resistance against his fireballs (if he decides to cast those instead of ice storm).

Dawnbreaker is pretty cool and all, but the usual reason it ends up on a shelf somewhere for me most of the time is down to how many hands are involved wielding it. Mister Puffles strikes me as the sort of upstanding guy who prefers to take on problems with both hands. It is of little surprise what my personal favorite Daedric weapon is, when I bother to use them (Not that I've got all that many playthroughs past learning I'm the Dragonborn under my belt, I only just finally beat the main plot this year )

Also Serana is stuck physically and emotionally a teenager after she not-entirely-consensually had vampirism screwed into her; she is not yours, my, or anyone else's goddamn waifu. I'm pretty sure Bethesda made her unmarriageable for exactly that reason.* I did Meridia's quest early in the game. while I was mopping up side quests from Whiterun because sidequests are my jam and stop looking at me like that.2. HE NEVER EVER loving USES ANYTHING OTHER THAN ICE SPELLS. THAT'S WHY I'M COMPLAINING, YOU NINCOMPOOP. *if a 'Dragonborn and Serana, sitting in a tree' mod exists (and my experience with modding communities tells me it probably does), does it use dummied out dialogue recorded just for modders, like the dying children thing? If it does, I feel so, so sorry for Laura Bailey right now.

I think most games with side quests would benefit from having their main quests excised to make room for more side quests. In Skyrim I kind of forgot what the main quest was and never finished it. In the Deus Ex games I always felt disappointed when I finished all the side quests in an area and had to progress the plot.
