Even if you stream directly on Twitch or Youtube, you still need to upload that amount of data on their server, so it's not an option for those with limited bandwidth. Also you need a pretty good computer to begin with.

Small update on my run:
I completed "Rescue from Fort Neugard" and brought Hjerim. I'm also helping the people of Windhelm (3/5 done).
Oengul War-Anvil sent me Ansilvund to find Queen Ferydis's sword.
I talked to Brunwulf Free-Winter about the "outsiders" and gave a Frost Salt to Dravynea.

Score so far:
8750 (with Blood on Ice)+
1000 Rescue from Fort Neugard
250 own a house in Windhelm (required for Thane)
750 help the people of Windhelm 3/5
Total: 10750 so far.
I have two videos, one is 3 hours and 30 minutes, the other is about 2 hours, but the first one is being recovered by VirtualDub, so it will take some time before i can upload them (probably Wednesday or Thursday).
I'll post full stats then.
This also means i can't play Skyrim until it's done.

After i'm done with Windhelm, it's gonna be a marathon to end Civil War quest. If i still have time i'll resume the Thane quests.

AfterDark, I figured it would be data intensive which is why it's a thought for if/when Sah manages to get broadband with good speed and/or no data cap. If she's set up by the time TES6 arrives (whenever that may be) and there is a good amount of player skill transferal as regards combat, etc. then any vids showing GOOD game play style will do well as instructional videos for newbies to the series. I know very little about streaming and uploading videos though, so how one would use it to bring in a little extra cash is outside of my knowledge base.

Rick, I believe in the case of the bannered mare Hulda considers you a friend and allows you to take things the moment you have done something for her....for example selling her a single piece of firewood you chopped just especially for her. Similar can happen with other merchants to some degree, but I've not paid any attention to it

Well, for me it's enough that they store my videos on their server, because my computer built in 2007 has a 320 GB HDD. I tried live streaming, but the performance impact is greater than the usual recording, so it's not an option.

The Bannered Mare is owned by Hulda and Ysolda, so if you give a Mammoth tusk to Ysolda, you'll be able to get some items for free.

What are you using to stream?

OBS is lightweight but if you modded, you might need a lot of memory.

I recorded with it over Afterburner for a while due to the lighter weight.

Watched Sah with interest. She takes like everything....I thought most stuff like in the inns would be stealing in red?

Sah does it all quite differently to the Contessa. We almost never go to the Companions until about destiny four or five. We never talk to Ri'Saad until Ysolda has enlightened us about Khajiit Caravan traders. We do not smith anything until Adrianne has given us our first lessons in what to do. Similarly we do not collect ingredients until we know we need to....meaning after Arcadia lets us try out the alchemy bench for the first time.....and we do not even know to visit her until we deliver the frost salts for Farengar....its all connected.

Its a kind of RP with us.....even in competition we adhere to the idea of learning about something before doing it. Even going through Helgen....we do not use sneak UNTIL Ralof says "hold up theres a bear up ahead" at which point the screen prompt says press left stick to enter sneak mode...after that we then know about sneaking and can do it at will.

I have tried to break these habits, but to no avail. So its just part of our normal MO. Maybe I should do a vid? But my system won't allow vids over 30 mins and generally fails to upload vids over 15-20 mins anyway.
Rick :hugs:

if you do a favor for a NPC ...........after it its like you are part of the family, what is theirs can be yours, for example if you deliver the mammoth tusk to Ysolda after that if you go to her house you can practically take everything (will not be in Red)

so when you saw this one chop wood and sold it that turned everything in the Bannerd Mare from red (steal) to white (take), why Bethesda made it like this is a mystery.

now in the case of the video you are right, there is no real RP at all that will justified my actions, but its not a RP video, this one dose not approach DiD in a RP fashion but as a team would playing a sport,

now if you go back to the video and notice this one is very selective with what she takes (dose not collect everything) ...........so far has pick only 2 locks, and has not broken into any houses to steal things, there is no need to, there are lots of points (skills) & available items all over the place that are more valuable

the objective is to leave Whiterun with some good skills where they count and neutralize the legendary difficulty multiplier of x0.25 vs x3
1 x handed will be between 35-40 on the skill tree with all the relevant perks utilized
Heavy armor will be 40
Smithing will be around 30-33 depending

as you will see in the next video when this one goes to the hall of the dead the above stats do nothing to help combat, a skeleton can still kill you in 2-3 hits and you still have to put in lots of hits to take them out witch will bring us to our first Master Vampire attack witch is suicide to take them on playing legendary

BTW the build this one is using is the same one from this round ............so there is no magic or enchanting skills utilized
is only working with 4 skill trees, 1 x handed, heavy armor, blocking and smithing,
the only reason archery was chosen is to get through some parts of the game early on ........... soon the 3 thugs will make there appearance, again suicide trying to take them on with melee, so the bow will come in handy to take care of them, ............the increase on the archery skill tree will be at least 5-6 levels witch would have been penalty points if archery was not selcted

Sure, but it's always "now" everywhere, isn't it? I mean, you look up into the night sky, and the light we see from those stars was radiated hundreds and thousands of years ago, but we're just experiencing it now.

Didn't buy it, did you? ;)

Yes, I know the island. Ex's grandfather was from there. Poor guy. Was a WWII vet, only member of his family that liked me. Died in '13.

<3 Sah and Sere

A'Riya is still kicking.. but that's more due to not being able to play than anything else.

Work and Michael... someone is bored off his rocker and needs attention.. or goes on buying spree's... seriously.

Edit: A very short A'Riya update...

She spent the day smithing and running back and forth to the various shops...a little Alchemy .. so in the course of less than one hr's play, shes now lvl 13 close to 14.. from 11.

Smithing is now at 46
Her AR at 141 ( superior)
Steel Nodachi.. 36 ( Exquisite )

Speech @ 29
Alchemy @ 27
not big changes there, but she also doesn't have all her Alchemy ingredients, they are in Riverwood, she is still in Windhelm.. waiting on BoTI to start... Susanna is still wandering around Candle hearth.. sooo she will have to leave town.. so I think a short trip up the coast to get more ingredients...

I hope to get BoTI done then head back to Whiterun, give the Stone to Farengar and do that bit... get Breezehome ( don't have the $$ to buy the upgrades, but storage.. of expensive items ie heavy...) and then go to FalkreathHold...
