LOL.

Same spot, same companion, same thing.

I sat there and watched her hit that thing 10 times, and I giggled myself silly.

You know...

Maybe it was just me playing Fallout, but I really miss the VATS animation for ranged weapons.

I'd love to see the camera track my arrow on a crit strike, or have a kill animation for that or something.  I'm pure archery spec, so I keep missing out on kill animations

I'm going archery and stealth, and while I agree finishing moves are neat nothing beats a well placed arrow sending a foe flying back several feet from the impact.

Sad... on the one hand this new character of mine would be excellent as a Stormcloak, and I only got through the first two missions for Ulfric before I scrapped my old save...

On the other hand I'm really curious about the Companions. But I can't join both. <O>

[Mizhara]

Erm... yes you can? Unless it's some IC reasoning that prevents you from doing it.

A man cannot serve two masters.

<sagely Nord voice>

A man cannot serve two masters.

My thief, Companion, Arch-mage, Thane, Stormcloak disagrees....

[Senn Typhos]

... I suppose I'm already a living instrument of Kynareth's will. Being a die-hard Nord patriot and an honor-seeking warrior doesn't seem so weird after that. @_@

[Mizhara]

I'm actually with Senn on the 'A man cannot serve two masters' bit. Which is why you become the leader of some entity, then infiltrate or support other entities depending on your motives. My Listener for the Dark Brotherhood has infiltrated the Thieves' Guild to ensure there's good control over their actions and intel gathering, not to mention their resources are very useful for the Dark Brotherhood. The Stormcloaks are useful muscle to put into place for smacking down the Empire and create a new powerbase beholden to you, without them even knowing your true loyalty and so on and so forth.

There's -almost- enough freedom in Skyrim to invent good IC reasons for almost any character to do almost anything. I still can't find a good reason for my Nord Juggernaut to join the Mage's College, unless I create some reasoning to try and figure out the Thalmor fellow there.

[Seriphyn]

Yes, in fact, my Imperial Battlemage is seeking Archmageship of the College of Winterhold, in order to establish Empire influence over the institute, as the Mages' Guild went under in Cyrodiil, as well as gain an Imperial foothold in the northeast overall. Just take what a character would say in-universe "Oh, yes, the Archmage? He's a battlemage with the Empire...you can't believe how it goes against tradition for us to be partial to a larger entity, here"

(also, mwaha, first Redguard archmage. Go go, positive discrimination? trolol)

[Senn Typhos]

Then again, the Companions are entirely outside the war, according to Kodlak, and they don't really have a "leader." No one is "in charge," as they say over and over. So as long as I stay loyal to Ulfric until the end of my days and put no one before the rebellion, the Companions are more of a "club" than anything.

Now I just have to decide if I can tolerate their attitudes. >>

Great overview of what I think are Skyrim's amazing strengths and some of its obvious weaknesses

What's with all the rage about Twilight? Those films are gorram hilarious.

Haters gonna hate.
