Witchhunter in Morrowind • Full Solo Campaign Playthrough • The Elder Scrolls: BotSE

In this video, I record my first-ever full campaign playthrough on camera, playing The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era solo on Expert difficulty as a Witchhunter. The build uses Soul Magic and Vampire, along with some of the upcoming Heroes of Tamriel content that Chip Theory Games kindly allowed me to showcase early. I was pretty nervous filming this one and definitely made a few mistakes along the way, so I added on-screen corrections wherever I could. Still, it turned into a really fun run through Morrowind, and I hope you enjoy watching the full journey. Any feedback on pacing, explanations, or editing is always welcome.

Threshold • Campaign Overview & My Thoughts

In this video, I share my thoughts on Threshold, a new solo and co-op fantasy board game currently crowdfunding from Open Owl Studios. It aims to capture the feel of MMOs and ARPGs with tactical, card-driven combat, flexible character customisation, and a world built around exploration and challenge. I go through the campaign page, talk about the mechanics and ideas that stood out to me, and share how I personally feel about the project based on what’s been revealed so far. It’s not a full review – just an honest first look at a game that seems to blend a lot of things I enjoy.

Every Potion Ranked • Slay the Spire: The Board Game

In this video, I rank every potion in Slay the Spire: The Board Game based on how useful they’ve been across my runs. Some potions can completely swing a fight or save an entire act, while others are much more situational or simply not worth holding onto. I go through each one, explain where I placed it, and share the thinking behind the ranking so you can decide which potions are worth grabbing and which you can safely skip.

New Race Abilities, Classes & Skill Lines of Heroes of Tamriel • The Elder Scrolls

In this video, I go over my first impressions of The Elder Scrolls: Heroes of Tamriel campaign and all the new content it introduces — from the updated race sheets with new art and racial abilities to the brand-new classes and skill lines like Witchhunter, Warrior, Dual Wield, and Storm Calling. As always, it’s a first impressions look, not a full deep dive, but with plenty of nerdy observations. Let me know what caught your eye!

Shadows of Oblivion • Daedric Princes First Impressions • Elder Scrolls: Heroes of Tamriel Campaign

In this video, I share my first impressions of Shadows of Oblivion, a new expansion in the Heroes of Tamriel campaign. This one focuses on the Daedric Princes (Hermaeus Mora, Mehrunes Dagon, Sheogorath, Sanguine, Azura, and Peryite), each introducing a new mechanic that fundamentally changes how the game plays. It’s early impressions for now, but this set already feels like one of the most creative additions to Betrayal of the Second Era yet.

Werewolf & Vampire Skill Lines • Fur & Fang First Impressions • Heroes of Tamriel

In this video, I share my first impressions of the Fur & Fang expansion for The Elder Scrolls: Heroes of Tamriel, which introduces the Werewolf and Vampire skill lines. Both add some really interesting mechanics that feel completely different from anything else in the game. I talk about what makes each one unique and how their playstyles compare. It’s just a casual first look, but these two skill lines already look like they’re going to bring some very fun chaos to the table.

New Classes & Skill Lines of Elsweyr • The Elder Scrolls: Heroes of Tamriel

In this video, I share my first impressions of the Elsweyr expansion for The Elder Scrolls: Heroes of Tamriel. It brings two new classes, Thief and Berserker, along with the Medium Armor and Soul Magic skill lines, all of which look really fun to experiment with. I go over how these new additions fit into the game, what stood out the most to me, and how they might change the overall feel of combat and build variety. It’s not a full breakdown, just a relaxed first look and some thoughts on what excites me most about the Elsweyr update.

Druid Path • Campaign Overview & My Thoughts

In this video, I take a closer look at Druid Path, a solo monster-taming card game that’s currently running its crowdfunding campaign. I go through what the campaign includes, how the game plays, and what stands out about its design. It’s not a review, just my honest first impressions and whether I think it’s something worth keeping an eye on.

New Classes & Skill Lines of Summerset • The Elder Scrolls: Heroes of Tamriel

In this video, I share my first impressions of the new Summerset expansion for The Elder Scrolls: Heroes of Tamriel. It introduces two new classes, Assassin and Mage, along with new skill lines like Assassination and Aedric Spear. This isn’t a deep-dive guide, just a relaxed discussion of what caught my attention, how these additions fit into the game, and what I’m most excited to try once the full content drops.

My honest thoughts on The Elder Scrolls: Heroes of Tamriel campaign

This video’s a bit different. Instead of a guide or tutorial, I just wanted to share my honest thoughts on The Elder Scrolls: Heroes of Tamriel campaign as it went live. I’ve been deep into this game for months now, with over twenty videos on my channel already, so I couldn’t resist jumping in to see what Chip Theory Games is bringing next. As someone who’s also been involved in playtesting parts of the new content, I figured it’d be more genuine to fully embrace my bias rather than pretend to be “neutral.” So, I scroll through the campaign page and give my real-time reactions — the good, the confusing, and the exciting bits.

We’re getting two new provinces, Summerset and Elsweyr, along with new heroes, classes, and skill lines like Dual Wielding and Storm Calling. I admit, I was a little disappointed not to see the third province yet, but then realised it’s probably a good sign — it means more content is still on the way. Overall, I see this campaign as a solid continuation for Betrayal of the Second Era, packed with great art, strong design choices, and plenty to look forward to.
