Some elder dragon ate a peasant woman and a half dozen guards outside Markath. I had half a mind to just let him burn the whole bloody city to the ground tbh. I swear if ever there was a city worth going on a murderous, multi million dollar rampage in, it’s Markath.

In other news, I have enchanted a ring, a circlet, an amulet and my favorite armor with Destruction 28% cheaper.

I. AM. INVINCIBLE.

Well, no actually. Those Arc-wizard faggots still sent me running for the hills drinking potions like it were a contest. I hit him with about 12 fireballs in a row (NOT EXAGGERATE) and his health wasn’t even touched. I’m going to come back when I am level 100 and slit their throats in the night with a soul trap bound sword. I will then enchant goat dung with them and throw it in the ocean.

I have a bow just for wizards with wards. I hate them.

#2123

With my sneaky-sneak and my archery I can take almost anything out in a 1 hit, usually it’s 3 - 4 for the bosses, if I keep hidden. Hell, people can run up next to me and I’m still hidden.

Once I’m seen, then it’s Run-backwards City.

#2124

Is there anyone here who actually uses wards?

#2125

nope.

#2126

I don’t use wards but I have a mage character that I’ve thought about trying it out on since it’s almost an invincible shield for the bloody necromonkies. Mostly I just sneak up behind them and slit their throats now that my level is high enough. I also carry a bow and sneak shoot them from behind something.

#2127

I do. Remember that one time in the college of winterhold where the instructor has you do a ward to demo it for the students. Ya I used it.

#2128

I tried using wards for a while, thinking they would be pretty useful. It turns out that dodging is a lot more effective than putting a spell that wastes an otherwise useful bit of mana.

“Don’t be lazy, DOOOOOOOODGE!!!”

#2129

Dodging works well in melee too. I was able to kill 3 giants, and if i got hit once i would die, so you should probably always dodge.

#2130

“Can I make a request?”

Points to dick

#2131

I see Bethesda knows its customers.

#2132

If you looked above boobs, you would realize ugly.

Do not want.

#2133

inb4 mods specifically to change her face

#2134

Yeah, I can’t get past them.

#2135

Lydia is actually a quite pretty companion

#2136

I looked above boobs.

I puked.

Thanks.

#2137

My save files are getting stupidly large. As in, 15MB a pop.

I just deleted 12 GB worth of saves when my computer told me I had no room to copy an MP3 file.

#2138

Yeah, however they make these saves is really dumb.

#2139

There’s a lot of data to store in each save. They have to record the state of whatever section of the world you’ve visited, and if you haven’t noticed, the world is massive.

#2140

There’s still more efficient ways of storing save data. While oblivion’s world may not have been as interesting, it still had a ton of content (arguably a very similar amount, probably more unique quests that aren’t generated) yet a fraction of the size for saves.
