He probably doesn't even understand what he did wrong and thinks shouting at people isn't combat.
He played it years ago when it came out. Probably barely remembers it.
He did this with New Vegas as well. Phil's MO with Bethesda games is find a companion ASAP and have them do the fighting. Most of his deaths in his New Vegas runs came from Boone or whoever he has being knocked out and him running like a bitch and getting himself cornered.
I'm surprised he is even aware of the waiting mechanic. Probably would think it's bugged you can only wait a whole day at any given time. Can't wait to see him return there and have to pay some trivial fine and complain about it being bugged or punishing the player or something, as if money is hard to come by in Skyrim when you spend most of the game strip searching bandits.
In this way, Phil is basically the same as transwomen, who want us to pretend that we don't see the big old monkey hands and bulbous Adam's apple bobbing away in the throat of that gentile lady walking into the women's bathroom.
That seems obvious, he'd lose the views (and likes) on the raw stream if he actually deleted. He has several now public live streams from the first time he "moved" to youtube due to being "forced" to private everything with fanart and then had to unlist them all at once.
Worth noting is that, during the prestream, he was making fun of the town for aggroing him after he says he 'yelled at' one of the citizens because she was blocking the door.
This is the fundamental thing in my opinion, his lies are obvious as fuck and no one believes them. But he is incredibly adept at lying to himself. So if ignoring the obvious game mechanics of a decade-old game allows him to preserve his ego, then so be it. He believes it and he expects everyone else to.
This is what you see in the Save the Pig: The Game lightgun arcade machine shooter if you fail to take cover and the beggar scores a critical hit on your wallet
Skyrim on khansoles has more variety, dood!
