Penny Arcade... : V

Just checked Penny Arcade today, the strip is Skyrim related, so steer clear if you're in total avoidance mode.

It's comparing the relative strengths of in game baddies - not a biggie, but I'm still slightly annoyed at having seen it as I'd rather not have known. Just a heads up for anybody who's trying to minimise their prior knowledge...

EDIT: Don't read any further if you are trying to avoid all spoilers as it's very obvious from the thread what I was trying to help you avoid. It's not a big spoil at all, hence nobody thinks twice about posting it without spoiler tags, but if you're a no-spoiler purist, stop reading already...

Didn't see any spoilers in it - we've all already seen dragons and giants. It was funny :thumbsup:

Funny, but true. Means to me though, that dragons could use adjustments.

Why would I link to a potential spoiler in a thread meant to help avert them? That's like linking to a virus in a thread titled "How to avoid malware!"...

The spoiler doesn't relate to the monsters but rather their in-game mechanics. Specifically the gameism where behaviour might not make rational sense...

Nah, man. The giants are http://imperial-library.info/content/fight-six-911th-cow on the dragons.

Aless (remember her still?) thought to herself, "I am so, so afraid the Dragon will awake and eat the world-- ANY DAY NOW-- that I will paint every cow I see so as to summon all the Giants I can to beat up old Scaly Face, and beat him up really, really hard-- hard enough to knock him out and back to sleep!" (Aless had heard, as you have now, that "no one fights the Giants" and took it a little bit too much to heart.)

Maybe they should not have been so disingenuous with their gameplay demos then? Showing off dragons as the greater threat, taking out giants in a single attack with no resistance whatsoever, when that apparently does not happen in the actual game.
