1[[https://www.youtube.com/user/Jingles1215 SorcererDave]], aka Jingles 1215, is a British Let's Player of some renown. He deals primarily with Bethesda games, particularly ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'', although he's been known to dabble in other games as well (mostly simulators). He typically makes heavy use of [[GameMod mods]] in his playthroughs, and often roleplays his characters. He is currently doing an ongoing Skyrim Let's Play, of an Imperial-soldier-turned-Dragonborn named [[AntiHero Claudius]], as well as a Morrowind playthrough ([[VillainProtagonist Fathis Ulven]]), a Fallout: New Vegas run ([[GentlemanAdventurer Sir David Crumpington XIV]]), and a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic run ([[NominalHero Bryan]]).

3!Tropes found in Sorcererdave's works:
4
5* AntiHero: Claudius can be rather unpleasant at times, and is most definitely a [[FantasticRacism product of his upbringing]]. CharacterDevelopment has gone a long way towards mitigating this, but he is still as grumpy as ever.
6%%* CloudCuckoolander: Claudius and David Crumpington both have their moments.
7* CutShort: His Morroblivion playthrough and both of his Oblivion runs were canceled due to technical issues.
8%%* DeadpanSnarker
9* EvenEvilHasStandards: Ruthless and heartless he may be, but Fathis Ulven draws the line at [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil slavery]].
10* GameMod: Rarely does playthroughs without at least some mods involved- this often leads to the aforementioned technical issues.
11* LovableRogue: Sir David Crumpington is [[GentlemanAdventurer dashing, charming]], has good [[SharpDressedMan dress sense]], and is not above a few illicit activities here and there (forging money, for one thing). He is also at least partly [[OnlyInItForTheMoney driven by money]]. {{Averted|Trope}} with Bryan, who by his own admission is a complete scumbag, although [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Scumbags Have Standards]].
12%%* OnlySaneMan: All of Dave's characters.
13* PetTheDog: Fathis' sole redeeming feature is his occasional sympathy for those who have been dicked over as much as he has, including Ashlanders and slaves.
14* TradeSnark: Plenty, although it's often the viewers who apply the [[superscript:TM]].
15-->'''Claudius:''' Fortune pisses on me, to coin a phrase!
16* VillainProtagonist: In the first Morrowind video, Dave outright called Fathis Ulven "a bit of a bastard". More recent descriptions include "a heartless, ruthless, ambitious [[PardonMyKlingon s'wit]]". It is made repeatedly clear that he intends to take power by any means necessary. He also sells drugs and robs ancestral tombs (that last one, admittedly, is something of a given in any Elder Scrolls game, but the ones Fathis steals from are often still in use by the families who built them).
17* WeaponBasedCharacterization: Each of his characters has their own.
18** Claudius, being an Imperial legionnaire, used a [[HeroesPreferSwords sword]] and shield for much of his adventure. He's recently swapped out the sword for a really big hammer.
19** Sir David Crumpington carries around a large amount of various different guns, but the one he relies on the most is the [[SniperRifle Lee-Enfield]] he picked up early on.
20** Fathis Ulven fancies himself a mage, but he largely tends to fall back on one of the several different [[BladeEnthusiast knives and short swords]] he carries around, as well as his many, MANY [[GadgeteerGenius magical trinkets and gadgets]].
21** Bryan hasn't really had time to settle on anything, but he largely favors his [[TheGunslinger blaster pistol]], occasionally busting out the vibrosword when backed into a corner.
