Can You Beat Skyrim WITHOUT Breaking The Ten Commandments?

In this video, I attempt to play the 2011 classic known as Skyrim without breaking the Ten commandments. Yes, Skyrim is old enough to be considered a classic now. If you've kept your head under a rock and don't know what Skyrim is. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an action role-playing game, playable from either a first- or third-person perspective. The player may freely roam over the land of Skyrim, an open world environment consisting of wilderness expanses, dungeons, caves, cities, towns, fortresses, and villages. Since I am a Christian, for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to try and attempt to beat Skyrim without breaking any off the Ten commandments.

I'll tell you one thing, no one has ever tried this before. Probably because nobody cared. And also because no one stopped to think how stupid of an idea this might be.

Stop looking through the description!

"The command says thou shalt not kill, it does not say thou shalt not beat the living crap out of someone"
ah, yes, just as the founding fathers intended.

[backfisch]

Technically, with the draugr deceased, if there is no one to claim the inheritance, the property will go over to the state. In this case the Jarl of Whiterun, since Bleakfalls lies within his administration. Set Jarl gave you explicit permission to retrieve the stone. And as the draugr can’t make a legal claim to property, once deceased, even his „resurrection“ wouldn’t restore ownership. So you’re fully within your right to take the dragonstone.

[namae]

I would consider Hadvar telling you to take the gear from the chest not to be stealing. As far as the Dragonborn is concerned, in that moment Hadvar is the highest ranking officer currently alive and thus holds the authority to delegate the empire’s munitions as he sees fit. He has acting authority and can authorise the provision of armour from the warden’s armour chest, after all it’s the empire’s armour.

[ParadigmShiftInc]

20:09 Bruh that’s Berserk levels of trauma. Imagine fighting powerful demonic enemies, deep down in the depths of a long forgotten tomb, only for your best friend to appear out of nowhere to save you in your moments of most need, only for him to be murdered in front of you then brought back to life by a witch, you’re then forced to fight and kill him again, while the guy who brought you down there to begin with, is hiding behind a rock, just watching.

[stellaflowers]

If you talk to the Greybeards after beating Alduin, they make it clear that Alduin isn't dead, just banished. You could use that as an argument to say you still haven't killed anything by the end of the game

[ProtomanWasTaken]

Dude dances around all religions in the opening rules and covers all his bases in a completely intense and flawless way. I'm impressed!!!

[maninthecamohat]

When your mom says you can play the game as long as you don't do anything against our religion in it:

[cailemkostiuk]

Hadvar is an imperial officer so is allowed to let you use imperial equipment, therefore the chest is fine.

[patrickbuckley]

As someone who usually tries to play this game as a good guy, I can attest to how hard it is not to get caught in a scenario where you need to do something messed up just to progress. So I can only imagine how hard this is.

[the_soggster]

imagine some mom googling "is skyrim Christian safe for my kid?" and then she gets reccomend this video lmao

[SirFrankoman]

9:50 "She will do all the killing for me, so I won't end up breaking the commandment!" Ah yes, delegation, the greatest loophole in the 10 commandments.

[Eira_]

I think you could make an exception to the "no killing" rule for things like vampires, werewolves, undead, and daedra since they would all be considered "unholy". You could also get away with killing Dwemer wutomatons since they're machines and aren't alive to begin with.

[orphanofkosishot]

Technically being a dragonborn is a gift from Akatosh. The challenge was lost before it even began.

Alright, if anyone else beyond the 140 has something to say about my comment, I suggest reading the replies. Chances are someone else has said your exact thoughts, and I have addressed 'your' reply already. Thank you for reading.

[SamFromSolitude]

Really cool vid!!
For the “Thou shalt honour mother and father” commandment, there actually is an optional dialogue with Serana during Dawnguard where she asks what the player’s parent were like, and you can respond positively. So I think that counts as upholding that commandment.

[SMJJproductions]

I feel like if you're getting inheritance from your partner's death, that qualifies you as the rightfull owner of their properties and you should be allowed to loot their body as long as you cover them in some garb and bring their body someplace sacred. I'd say the biggest sin here is just leaving uthgurds body in the field after the dragon fight rather than burying her lmao.

[jaredwishart]

You know, technically you can look at killing Alduin in more than one way. In a way, he's a false god in and of himself. So defeating him could be considered akin to destroying an idol or graven image. Plus, it's ambiguous as to if he actually does, or is merely banished until a later time. Great video!

[Jboy]

You can actually commit adultery, you need to be married and then start Sanguine's quest where you will marry a Hagraven. What's funny is, one of the potentional spouses is involved in the quest. So you can go to your wife, and she'll gush about how in love you are were with your wife, and that's why she gave you a wedding ring for a reduced price.

[flamebrindger]

I have NEVER heard of a challenge run like this before, lmao. My mind is blown at how genius it is.

[LasherTimora]

"Thou shalt not steal."

Welp, there goes my go to playstyle out the window.

[benjaminharmon]

The goblet that got you through that door was actually the Holy Grail
