This preview was annoying to read since at the start he promised not to dike about and do what every other reviewer did (including himself previously) and still ended up doing the exact same thing.

Plus he should've carriage'd to Winterhold and thus giving us some decent info instead of "ooh I got smushed by a giant"

What I found most interesting about that was how fun it seemed travelling with a companion, it felt a lot different than most the previews of people wandering around on their own. The way he wrote it seemed like he made a nice attachment to that bozzie, even if he did enjoy watching him die repeatedly and use him as bait

I don't usually like companions but I'll definitely give them a go in Skyrim.

Now, maybe I’m wrong, but once again I can’t express how frustrating this whole companion equipment system is. If I can issue basic tactical commands and gear preferences to my companions in New Vegas, why the hell can’t I do it in Skyrim. It’s an annoying and cumbersome system and I don’t [censored] like it. Fix it, fit it now. If you don’t then… well, then I’ll just make a mod that does!

"Snow began to fall the farther north we headed. Thicker and thicker became the forrests and thicker and thicker became the snow. Before I knew it, the snowfall was so thick I could barely see five feet in front of my face. As I turned around there was no sign of Faendal, for all I know he died of dysentery somewhere back along the trail.

Then without warning, I fell, literally fell into a river. The river was running west and to my surprise it was actually carrying me away with the current! This was unexpected and no matter how hard I mashed the jump button the current kept carrying me downstream. Where in the bloody hell was Faendal with a rope when I needed him! Useless.

Luckily there was a log in the river which I managed to hop up on. I then leapfroged my way across several other logs and jagged rocks until I made it to what I had thought was the other side of the river. I ‘felt’ sopping wet and tired. I literally had so stamina left. You know, from all the jumping. I looked up and there stood Faendal, nice and dry, just smiling at me and waiting for my command. [censored]."

When did he cast the shield spell? I only ever read him casting Oakflesh from the alteration school.

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the great feedback on my preview. It means the world to me coming from the Elder Scrolls community. If you have any questions or want me to clarify anything, find me @DaveOshry on Twitter or send an email to Dave@RipTen.com.
