>> Well, hello there, Mr. Guard. Where are you running?
Welcome back, Internet people. My name's Ryan.
We're playing Skyrim and something has spooked this guard. He is going somewhere.
I have no idea where.
But I'm going to follow him.
Stormcloak Courier?
>> If you know any true sons and daughters of Skyrim, tell them to head to Windhelm.
Ulfric Stormcloak wants to see them.
>> Oh, he just has an important message to deliver.
An important and probably boring message.
Oh, look at that. It's Helgen.
Hi.
Ow.
How dare you jerkwads set up shop in here?
No, there's got to be something...
Like this guy.
That is not a guy. That is totally a woman.
A woman in a very compromising position. Well, we'll put you out of your misery.
Can I lift you?
Oh my god, you need to lay off the venison, lady.
There you go. Nice and clean and tidy.
One of the contracts that the Dark Brotherhood gave me is for a
person that lives in Ivarstead.
I will hit you. I will hit you.
I don't even know if I'm going the right way to Ivarstead to be quite honest.
Must be close.
>> Hail, friend!
It's good to see another merry soul enjoying this fine day.
>> Oh yeah.
>> Oh, but you look tired. Come! Share a bottle of Honningbrew mead with me.
>> I'd love to share a drink with you, friend!
>> Ah, nothing like fine spirits to help raise your... well, your spirits!
Cheers, my friend. May your adventures find you fame and fortune.
>> What a nice guy.
He doesn't sound like an alcoholic at all.
Apparently I'm still going the right way to Ivarstead.
I'll just trust that these signs are accurate.
Oh, this looks like Ivarstead country.
And these look like goats to snipe.
Thing is I am trying to decide whether or not I'm a big enough sociopath
to kill people as well as random helpless goats.
I don't know if I am.
Ooh. It's a shack.
Why yes, I will take that butterfly.
I wonder where this alchemist is.
Whereever he is, I will sleep in his bed
and take his carrots and his gourd.
I'm kind of an ***, stealing all of his stuff.
Oh my god! Everything's so heavy!
Lydia, help me! Oh, you don't like me very much because I'm a murderer
and I rip the wings off butterflies.
Maybe I'll just use up one of these scrolls for no reason.
Hey buddy!
How's it going?
OK.
I could see that.
How are you?
>> Awoo!
>> Awoo.
I have to get some spells like this for myself, my goodness.
Oh my god, we're totally going to kill this elk together, me and you.
No? Not interested in helping me?
Fine. You're the most awful familiar ever.
I guess you are pretty adorable.
Yeah.
Oh, hello.
Oh, you are a wolf.
And the familiar is gone.
Well then, that was pointless.
Ivarstead.
>> We mostly deal with petty thievery and drunken brawls. Been too long since we've
had a good bandit raid.
>> It has been a while since I've been here.
Where is
this person I'm meant to kill?
>> Who are you? What do you want!?
Do you want something!? Look, if you ain't going to talk or spare no coin, just... go
away!
>> This guy seems a little off.
You live here, Narfi?
You live here in this house that is
missing a roof?
>> Please just... just leave me be!
>> Why would anybody want you dead?
You don't have anything, you're not bothering anyone.
I don't think I can kill you.
I don't think it would be right.
Especially not with Lydia watching.
Instead I'll leave you a present. I have something for you. I have for you a gourd!
Actually, I may have more for you. You can have these boots
and
this awful armour.
OK, Narfi.
I'm going to leave you be now.
I can't, I can't do it. I can't kill you.
I'm the worst assassin ever.
I don't know why I always end up in this river.
No, the assassin's life is not for me
but murdering a bear with fire.
Yeah, that's definitely something I can do.
How's it going over there, bear?
Huh?
How's it feel to be set on fire multiple times?
Apparently not that bad because he doesn't seem to care.
Well then.
That was by far the most exciting fight that you have ever witnessed.
Fraught with danger and skill!
OK, enough of this nonsense. I am going to do what I set out to do weeks ago and that
is to go to the College of Winterhold, learn how to shoot fireballs better, and become
the greatest fireball hand shooting person of all time and also probably
learn how to conjure up some zombie wolves because that's exciting.
Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is sure delightful if I had a fire.
And even though I've got somewhere to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Why you such a jerkface, huh?
Why you such a jerkface, wood elf?
Oh, Winterhold.
What a lovely little four buildings.
>> Cross the bridge at your own peril. The way is dangerous and the gate will not open.
You shall not gain entry.
>> Why not? What is this place?
>> Oh, forgive me. Most who arrive here do so because they have heard of the college
beforehand. This is the College of Winterhold. A safe haven for mages in Skyrim. A place
for wizards and arcane knowledge.
>> Why is it closed? Can I enter the college?
>> Perhaps. But what is it you expect to find within.
>> Well I want to use the power of ice and fire to destroy any who oppose me but mostly
I just want to see what it looks like inside.
>> Huh. Humour is often in short supply here, but I sense that perhaps you're after more
than just that. It would seem that the college has that which you seek. The question now
is what can you offer the college. Not just anyone is allowed inside. Those wishing to
enter must show some degree of skill with magic. A small test, if you will.
>> I'll take your test.
>> Excellent. Those invested in restoration magic find healing hands to be essential.
Can you cast it on me? That would prove your skill.
>> OK. I can do that.
>> I look forward to it.
>> Well done, indeed. I think you'll be a superb addition to the college. Welcome, apprentice.
I'll lead you across the bridge. Once you're inside, you'll want to speak to Mirabelle
Ervine, our master wizard. Please, follow me.
>> There are some experiments the college frowns on.
>> I don't care.
>> You ever need something, especially something hard to come by, let me know.
>> It's an asset to Skyrim even if it goes unnoticed or unappreciated.
>> This is not safe. You should really get someone out to fix that. My goodness.
>> Winterhold's glory days may lie behind it but the college lives on.
>> Is that it? Can I just go in now?
>> I believe I've made myself rather clear.
>> Yes, of course. I'm simply trying to understand the reason behind the decision.
>> You may be used to the Empire bowing to your every whim, but I'm afraid you'll find
the Thalmor receive no such treatment here. You are a guest of the college, here at the
pleasure of the arch-mage. I hope you appreciate the opportunity.
>> Yes, of course. The arch-mage has my thanks.
>> Very good. Then we're done here.
>> Hmm!
Well then, this is a hall.
I think I'm going to explore this all next time, Internet people. It's very, very blue.
You look very uncomfortable, Lydia.
Actually, you look like you always do. With that stern look on your face.
Very stern and bored look on your face. You don't know what's going on.
You don't know what's going on. All that you know is that you're nearly out of arrows.
>> Oh!
>> What? Oh, that's right. I haven't bathed for months.
Thanks for watching.
