Skyrim

[Noven]

So far, I'm having an absolute fucking blast with this game. Post up any thoughts on the game here, and share some fun stories that you may have even already collected I got a couple...

One was, as a finisher on a wolf, as it was in a jump attack, it looked like I gave it some kind of karate chop to the neck, just slammed into it, killing it.

Second, the final of three bandits, I had entered the kill-cam type thing, giving a finisher, which consisted of this: I based her in the face with my shield, followed by her shouting, "I can finish you!", ending her speech the very moment I ran her through with my blade.

I HAD THE WORLD'S MOST BORING BOSS FIGHT.

So I was chilling around Whiterun, post Dragonborn-discovery, and some courier runs up telling me, hey, I've got this note. It's from a friend. It wasn't from the Gray Fox, thankfully, but it was from some guy who wanted me to suceed and grow as a Dragonborn. It pointed out this ruin that had power only the Dragonborn can unlock in it. Assuming (correctly) that this was a word-wall, I trot over for a look (three times, after being dragon-owned the first two times )

So, I get there, and it's cool-looking. Then I bump into some Draugr Wights. And they ALMOST kick my ass, but because I'm a pro at kiting I manage to win. Looks like this place is too tough for my lower level. Well, I'm not one to back away when it gets interesting. Using tactics and...a good sense of when to run away, I complete the objective of the dungeon: to get two keys and unlock this casket. Out of said casket flies...A DRAGON PRIEST!

I then proceed to die...a lot.

Seriously. About five times.

So...tactics again. I run past him, grab the loot in the room beyond, where the word-wall also lies. The word was...umm...the first word of the Ice shout, I think. Or Kyne's Peace. Then I hid, thinking to sneak past the dragon priest in his sexy mask. Omar the mad, he's called.
Then I realise that I've lost him; he's wandering around acting confused. And that, if my aim is good, I can sneak attack him from here. And I do, and it's more effective than anything I've tried so far. So I shoot, hide, shoot, hide, shoot, hide, chase after him to lure him back into the room, wet myself when he floats in before I'm properly hid, hide, shoot, hide, shoot.

You get the idea.

Half an hour, he's dead as a dodo, I have his bitching staff, AND his mask (which might be part of a quest, now I think on it...). It was not dynamic to watch, but it was the tensest thing I've ever done.

I don't remember having this much difficulty, or this much fun, clearing dungeons in Oblivion.
Skyrim, in short, is awesome.

"We need you to go and find some sort of Stone Tablet, the Dragonstone."
"You mean THIS Dragonstone?!?!?!"
"=O"
"B("

Stealth builds: Awesome right up until a dragon appears. Seriously, I just want to level up my stuff, Dragon. You don't even have a name...

And as I've already said to Noven, the funniest moment of the game so far on my end was when my horse ran off ahead while I attacked a bandit, went straight into a tower, climbed up a spiral staircase and attacked a guy at the top, who was pushed off from the impact off the hit and fell to his death. The realy beauty of it was looking up from my battle just in time to see my crappy old paint horse rearing up at the top of a huge tower and then watching the orc go into stagger mode before falling off. This was topped off by the horse then walking out to the tower over to me all like "Yeah, are you ready to leave?

[thatfallout3guy]

Best moment for me so far? Well...

No more spoilers because I can generalise.




I was doing this quest where you trap yourself, your buddy's all,

" I'll figure out how to get you out..."

And then the bad guys all rush in and are like, "WE 'BOUT TO OWN YO ASS!"

And I'm all, "SHIT! NO! HE'S GONNA DIE BECAUSE OF ME D'X"

And then he's all, "You don't want none of this, punk ass motha fuckas."

And I'm all, "HIS FINAL WORDS ARE DEFYING HIS FOES! D'X"

And they're all, "IT'S FUCKING ON!"

And then he turns into a MOTHA FUCKING WEREWOLF and just freaking OWNS. At this point I literally shat myself at wanting to be a werewolf.

Yup...

[Noven]

I didn't want to be one, however, that was most certainly badass and awesome @_@

[Mog]

"Please Thane, could you please stop shouting at children..."
"FUUUUSS"
"OH GOD!"
"ROOOOHH"
"HIT THE DECK!"

You just watch yourself, Lydia and I are wanted... men. I have the death toll in 4 Holds.

[Noven]

Oi, Lydia's MY woman B| And we're slaughtering nature freaks all across the land~ Even when they have OP kill you in one fucking hit spells of frost nightmares

Skyrim has been an absolute joy for me. My dad and I don't really have any common interests, except for the elder scrolls series. He loved Morrowind and Oblivion and he's the reason we got skyrim a couple days after it's release. On top of the game being god damn amazing, it's bringing me closer to my dad again and that makes me really happy.
/sappy shit

Probably the funniest moment for me was when I was in this one town and I was just herp derpin along when the children started screaming and running around and I was like "hey guys what's goin-HOLY SHIT IT'S A DRAGON". So me being the badass I am, ran after the sunnova bitch. I got him down to 25% health and it started to fly away. At this point, I looked at how much stamina potions I had, changed the sprint button to a more convenient key, and said, out loud, "BABY- WHERE YOU GOIN? I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO PARTY BABY". So I track him about halfway to the next major city, sprinting the entire way to keep up with him, when he turns back around. I then say, again out loud "ROUND TWO MOTHER FUCKER". I then proceeded to bash it's brains in with my orcish waraxe. I felt so goddamn unstoppable- I had intimidated a dragon out of a fight and chased him down for a good two minutes of straight sprinting to get the finishing blow.

A close runner-up is when I fought the first dragon you fight and near the last of his health bar, I misclicked and unequiped my weapons and bopped him in the nose with my fist for the killing blow. No lie, it was like I was fending off a shark. On land. Just *bop* right in the nose and he exploded.

[Noven]

My most frustrating boss/side-boss/whatever would have to be fighting a Draugr Deathlord with a bow. Him having a bow that is. And it killing you in one shot from any amount of health, after even casting +60 to armor rating. Usually makes me a tank too B( Of course, hitting the shield is safe. Doesn't help when it flies into your toe though. *Raaaaaaaaaage*

Beyond that, the best kill I've gotten so far must be: cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/630730982032003787/765D0601842953FA33385A3E9FE56CF4DA69DC58/ This. I just, how perfect to have him land in that :'D

Annnd, I just really love the Skyrim night sky with those two. <3

The second half of a seven hour stream I did of Skyrim. Probably one of my better streams if anyone's interested.

[Phrost]

Roight so I'm just exploring the Waste- I mean Skyrim, when I came across a certain shrine of a certain Daedric lord that did a certain thing in a certain game. See? Yeah. No spoilers. And, suddenly, drago- wait. Nope, just the skeleton. And it fell on me, sending me flying across the map. I landed in this lake that looked suspiciously like a King Arthur tale.

[Pulse]

So, I was just on the way to complete the third and final stage of a charming little quest I picked up from the Temple of Mara. Won't ruin it for you, but it's pretty sweet. You're like the agent of love, roaming the wild tundras of Skyrim, bringing folk together then nipping into their homes for a bag of potatoes to finish that stew you've always wanted to try out. But with arrows that kill. And a demora summon it took a stupidly long time to get. Oh, and not forgetting Erandur, the party's resident badass battlemage.

Where was I headed? The middle of sodding nowhere, that's where. Yup. I fast traveled to...the closest location, still agonizingly far from my destination. "Righto, best get moving" I thought to myself, grinding my teeth as I set off... and then two dragons appear. Yup. Two motherfucking dragons. At this point I'm standing there doing sod-all, agape at the two bronze beasts circling overhead as they start breathing ice on a couple mudcrabs off in the distance. I start loosing arrows vaguely in their direction, every single one missing, something they must have chuckled at a bit as they stared down at us. Eventually one smashes to the ground spontaneously, obviously feeling the full effect of the mudcrab's righteous anger a bit late. I run after it, chucking a few poisoned arrows as I do, downing a few potions.

Great, just one more to go...not difficult. Nonchalant as fuck, a giant has been tanking the other for me, a little pissed off for the dragons' attempts to flash-freeze their favourite woolly friends. One hits, two hits...and down! The giant, disinterested in these fur-clad wannabe dragonslayers just quits the scene, as the dragon's flesh magically disappears and reforms around my dark elf's cold, cold exterior. Determined to have the last say, I summon fireballs to both hands, jumping up and down on its skeleton, lobbing them like a crazed per- whoa. The skeleton spazzes out, hurling me southwards with ridiculous ease. Did I save after the battle? lolno. Do I have some kind of spell for this? No. Dovahkiin, head out to kill some underleveled bandits on the way ba- oh. Oh dear.

-First Post Ever- Bye the bye
(kind of has spoilers in it)
During the DB mission where you are forced to investigate the tower outside Whiterun, I may or may not have ransacked the Battle-Born house on the way out of town, but when i arrived at my destination near the tower, the Jarl's Dark-elf war-wench told us to look for anyone alive at the tower. I began making my way towards the entrance ramp of the tower, then the dragon began to attack. I quickly drew my bow, but the second i was ready to attack the dragon (who at this point it was coming at me like a damn kamikaze) A guard ran up to me an yelled
"HEY! I know you, Your a wanted wanted man!"
the conversation options came up all the usual options were there, BUT there was a new one as well. "Is now really the time for this?" is what it read, i found this rather amusing and naturally selected it the guard agreed with me and said he would wait until the dragon was dealt with. the game un-paused what was going on around us. Then, the dragon who was flying towards me like a bat out of hell landed near the guard, and preformed that kill animation where it bites the upper portion of your body and hurls you though the air on the guard. I ran away having seen how the dragon made short work of the guard and began shooting arrows at it, the dragon fell eventually and everyone watched in amazement as Frank-the-Tank absorbed the dragon soul. then after having listened to the guards ramble on about some shit i didn't really care about another guard runs up and tells me he knows that I am in fact wanted for robbing the Battle-borns blind, I admitted it and agreed to pay the fine. after that i returned to the Jarl informed him that i was The DB and the dragon was gone. He made me thane and gave me a war-wench named Lydia, I ordered her to follow me and she obeyed. when we got outside of Whiterun i began to make my way back to riverwood to see what was up. Then i was ambushed by some thugs who made short work of Lydia, i owned them with a storm of ice needles and found a note on one of their dead bodies. That bastard Battle-Born put a hit out for me. so i returned to whiterun to confront him and make him pay indirectly killing Lydia I found him in town and that previously rich bastard (I stole that much from him) acted like nothing had happened so i used the power of the Set-essential and kill commands to kill his sons.
The end!

came across a tied up Stormcloak soldier being ushered by a group of Imperial Soldiers. I untied him and quickly gave him a set of Branded Steel Armor, an enchanted Orcish Greatsword, and a spell tome that gives you Ice Spike, you know, if he's a mage. He doesn't equip any of it and goes at them. Being the sneaky son of a bitch I am, I snuck away, just to watch my newly freed friend be kicked in the back, brought to his knees, stabbed in the pressure point (close to his neck), be brought up slightly by the sword, and fall on his stomach. Not the proudest time for the Stormcloaks.
