Originally I just wanted to rant about couple of my favorite Skyrim’s bandits, but then I expanded the list to 5 NPCs. Eisa was planned as a bonus to Hajvarr but in the end she got a whole chapter. I recorded with a brand new low level character, so all NPCs spawned in their base form. Also, Rigel and Fjola spawned identical, I wish Skyrim gave them a truly unique appereance.
Rigel’s story always felt so memorable and bittersweet, as well as entire Pinewatch experience; Hajvarr is like an archetypal barbarian chad owning a penthouse with a premium view on Whiterun; Eisa – such a mysterious character who adventured all over Skyrim and wass possibly planned as a companion? Just guessing. Also, I kept mispronouncing her name. Fjola’s story is one of the most bizzare moments in game, and there could be a subtle reference to ancient Nord religious practice. And as for Arondil, I really wanted to figure out who ordered his peculiar, sickening journals, but I guess it’s a mystery. At least I had an excuse of visiting Skyrim’s northern coast.
All in all, it took me a very long time to produce this one out but it was fun and hope you’ll like it. And sorry for long winded introduction, occasional bad audio (I move my head away from the mic sometimes). One of these days I’ll learn to do this properly.

One of the Reasons i Like Skyrim is the Community is not as Toxic as Morrowind, I want Play Morrowind Tho
Thank you for being there, you give rhythm to my life from now on
you are completely unaware of the impact you have on my life
Hope you’re doing well Borean. Another great video. Thank you for such high quality videos.
There is only one NPC I think is more evil than Arondil.
In Morvunskar, there is a warlock named Naris the Wicked.
Dialogue among the other Warlocks suggests that he is fond of elaborate forms of torture and SA.
This also shines a light on the darker side of the Daedric Prince Sanguine, who you follow to Morvunskar during A Night To Remember, as the fort's occupants (including Naris) are quite obviously implied to be his worshippers.
Ok, but how did they get all that furniture down there? Did they PIVOT
What a great channel. Your work is brilliant, keep it up.
Hello friend. Another well done video. One of my favorite content creators. Hope your feeling better
1 hour video about a 13 year old game and random npcs in it. Im so in
great videos mate!
Always enjoy these great videos. Nice topics.
Im getting an ad literally every 3 or 4 minutes…
The Bandit crisis makes kinda sense. Skyrim is weakend first the war with the Thamlmor then the Civil war later dragons no wonder these people stop their normal lives and abnandon society.
Kind of makes you wish they had kept bandit raids in the game instead of scrapping it.
Loved this!
Skyrim is a land reeling from the great war the Empire fought with the Aldmeri Dominion, the local war with the Reachmen and the current civil war. There is little work for lots of returning soldiers, naturally a large part of them turns to crime and brigandry. Add to that the Forsworn melting away into the hills, deserters from all sides hiding out in the wilderness and a large influx of refugees from Morrowind.
YT algorithm: "oh, you like weirdly obscure, hyperspecific videos about TES? Have this."
Me: "F#CK YEAH!"
Omg, I ran into Eisa once and thought it was a modded encounter! Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction to explore that dungeon!
Never should have come here
Wait til you cover Lu'Ah al Skaven
Perfect for sagurdag
I always wondered about this one particular quest near Riften (can't remember the place name, quest giver or the antagonist really), where you infiltrate an old fortress and by switching a lever open the gate for a nord and his bodyguards searching for his family. He talks about his rival, I believe a bosmer mage, taking the fort and capturing his family by a ruse and this nord guy wants a revenge. Whilst exploring the fortress you find a bunch of dead bodies. One would assume it is the nord's family as there are no other bodies or npcs and the quest ends after you let the nord and his entourage inside. He never confirms, mostly because your character fails to inform him about the bodies, if he had found his relatives or not and I believe you never see him again. Just strange and certainly a bit scuffed ending to an interesting plot.
The bar in the Pinewatch reminds me of the one in Evergreen Mills in Fallout 3.
Yes! My favorite bandits Rigel and Fjola! I hope you cover some of the unique Forsworn/maybe more bandits
I havent played Skyrim in a long while, and wow, there ARE so many bandits! Its a shame Skyrim was sized down (like everything else essentially in Skyrim).
Your views on this series is amazing, would love to hear your thoughts on Oblivion.
All that I do is that which is required to do next 🕳️
Truly fantastic job with this video.
