There is a mod I have installed but not tried yet that extends the Bard experience by letting you actually perform. Can't quite see Lenny doing it though. Become a Bard - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2303

Been thinking that what with the importance of immersion for Gopher and Lenny's own obsession with looking stylish, etc. He really should install a bathing needs mod.

So... found Richard's should have been built Library anyway. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4791

So, rather belated, can't remember how many episodes back Gopher was lamenting the lack of fire arrows, but today I found the mod. Torch Arrows and Bolts SSE - Originally by Joolander https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/5565

Its Monday, he never posts today anyway. Personally, I am about to start a new Skyrim playthrough. I dunno, there are loads of games I want him to play, but a short one from Gopher usually means Horror, and I don't watch that. Or some story driven walking simulator. Dunno, we shall see. Maybe it'll be Jack! Or maybe Chapter Two will start in a few days. Meantime, need him to play more Minecraft, We had that idea a while back that he should backpack through Minionland incognito and then release the adventures later. Perhaps even do it with Quarico and Chay.

I'm fairly certain The Dark Brotherhood will be Chapter Two, which we know he has already planned out and may have already started recording.

Have to admit its a source of annoyance to me in every game where you start out as an adult with zero skills, you should have received some training and experience in the last 10 years or so. Possible exception with NV having been shot in the head to reset everything, but even there you do have the tag skill option to say what your past knowledge was.

That's why Gopher uses mods that makes enemies more likely to detect you when lit. Vanilla and even partially modded Skyrim, or indeed any Bethesda game tends to have you become unstoppable once you max out relevant skills and sneak is incredibly powerful. Even more so as a bow user when you don't need to get close. But then think of Stiv, walk into a dungeon and cast a massive rage spell and wait 5 minutes, then everything is dead.

Has always been a problem with him, I think its because it increases the dread of death if you haven't saved for a while. I save before and after every skirmish, but then I tend to save-scum. Is a good idea to quick-save after every fight though and of course when you know that you are walking into a massive fight.

Its not just about reducing the model size, you have to turn a two-handed ranged weapon into a one-handed ranged weapon. That's probably why the original mod uses the staff code because there is nothing pre-existing to allow it for bows or crossbows.

Annoys me that you can't say, No, I don't want to give my soul to a Daedra, I can defeat Mercer without help thankyou.

There is a faction crossbows mod for SE, but sadly no one-handed crossbow mod. Unless the One-Handed Crossbows mod from old Skyrim will work in SE. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4047/ https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/23164 Apparently they act more like a bow and use staves as a base so they don't consume ammo, but if you want a small one its your only option.
