i swear this is the MANLIEST RPG ever. Probably one of the best, as well.

It can be manlier.

Naryar · « **Reply #61 on:** January 10, 2012, 04:58:30 AM »

Well of course it could be manlier, but it can't be TOO manly while being entirely serious, as it is right now.

Pwnator · « **Reply #62 on:** January 10, 2012, 05:31:40 AM »

Yeah, but it's definitely manlier than Oblivion.

BECAUSE SKYRIM HAS VARIOUS FACIAL HAIR OPTIONS.

OK then... what protagonist can summon up a thunderstorm simply by shouting how awesome he is ?

Ness and Lucas. Kinda sorta. :P

Only thing is it missing to be even more badass is a dragonform shout. So you can take the form of a dragon !

I wish I could kill Mercer Fey right now. There's me being stealthy, about to be fully hidden, then he blunders into battle, yelling 'you can't hide from me' and alerts the whole room.
Don't worry, you'll get your chance.

I know, but that can't come soon enough. Got to the claw door, and he attacked me so I had to reload to while I was still struggling to open the chests without him alerting the guard. Plus he gets caught by bear traps (some thief, doesn't even have the Light Foot perk).

Power-leveled Sneak to 100 in the starting caves. Now, Imperial or Stormcloak?

Stormcloaks are the Nazis of Tamriel! They want little more than to purge their land of all non-Nord (read: blonde hair and blue eyes) peoples! Support not their campaign of racist intolerance and genocidal bloodshed!

Also, did I just see a mod that turned Alduin into Randy "Macho Man" Savage? That may have been the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Oh Skyrim, how I love you so.

In other news, just fought two dragons simultaneously outside of Whiterun >:O

Luckily, one was kept occupied by some random cattle that refused to die.

I accidentally killed a dog while taking down a dragon in Riverwood.

They placed a bounty on me.

Thank you thalmor embassy quest, now I have full elven light armor and enough money to buy a house.

also, randomly occuring dragons. They seem to appear just at the wrong time. Example : I get out of the thalmor embassy without Lydia, forget to fast travel, with nearly no potions, get extremely annoyed with that frost troll in the cave, i get out, then one of the boss music tracks start to play. I think "what ? is it a dragon" ?

It was. Cue Oh Crap moment from me. Especially that I had no good cover.

You alerted the backup when you were moving from the party to the interrogation rooms, didn't you? Lydia nearly died from the 5 enemies so I had to reload my save until I can sneak perfectly. SHE WAS WEARING EBONY ARMOR AND WIELDING WUUTHRAD, DAMMIT. D:

Also, you could've casted healing spells on yourself after you've killed that troll. :P

I was entirely healed after fighting the troll. Just that 140 HP isn't a lot (i was level 9 when I did that quest)

Also I died at least 5 times in the thalmor embassy. Mostly because I was unprepared and i tried to sneak right inside the guards. Also, with no armor, cause I found it back in delphine's chest.

Also, sneaking ? Pah, I killed them all with a combination of FUS RO DAH, my trusty sword and my Fire Bolt. Yeah i'm playing a battlemage like in every RPG I can, since BG1. When you sneak, you don't kill them and you can't take their stuff and go sell it (expected with the high rank sneaking perks). Especially that I jumped from leather to elven.

Stormcloaks are nazis ? Sure they are certainly not straight heroes (especially when I heard Ulfric talking about Whiterun. And then after that he complains about being called a villain), but they seem rather reasonable overall. As the empire is damnit.

Thalmors are nazis. With expensive clothes, that makes a good reason to kill them all on the spot when you fin them.

I'm having a real moral dilemna here, on supporting the Stormcloaks or the Imperial Legion. Both seem to have good points. I mean, Stormcloaks are the coolest, but that's not a reason to choose.

Tell not killing them to my 15x damage with daggers as long as I am hidden. Although I do my best to not kill anyone who isn't naturally an enemy.

Spent too much time South of Thalmor territory, so I haven't actually encountered any yet.

But yeah, don't support the oppressive Imperial pigs either. Neither side deserves the support of the Dragonborn!

You're right, but since I've already defeated the Stormcloaks with the Imperials, I'm going to see what it's like as a Stormcloak. I guess that's the only way you can see which side is the "good guys".
