Skyrim Peculiarities

Post » Thu May 10, 2012 10:22 pm

I've been reading the posts on these forums quite a bit since Skyrim came out. I've read loads of wierd things that made me laugh. I found myself asking questions today, questions relating to the game. I was fighting 2 enemies, one was fully clothed in armour from head to toe, the other guy was practically naked, apart from a loin cloth. Anyway, I beat upon the guy with armour and he died pretty quickly. When I started to attack the enemy who was practically naked, it was like I was hitting him with a pillow! His health didn't deteriorate. It was as if he was wearing the best armour in the game... but he was practically naked! I asked myself... what sort of simpleton programs this sort of nonsense into a game?

The second thing that really started to grind my gears about the game was my damn horse. Having got into a fight by an outpost which was inhabited by a load of enemies, I jumped off of my horse and ran in to fight them. Then, the strangest thing happened. My [censored]n' horse ran up the stairs of this settlement and started to actively take part in combat. He subsequently died! I was like WTF!

I can't be the only one on the planet to see this as completely and utterly stupid, can I? When these stupid things happen throughout the game, Todd Howard's face keeps entering my mind. I just feel so angry when I envisage his face. 5 years in development, and an ethnic minority with a loin cloth has more armour than the other enemy standing next to him with full armour! My horse is a beast that runs up stairs to take part in combat! I can't even believe I just typed that. It sounds so completely stupid, but it actually happens in game!

My, oh my, Bethesda. Were the lot of you on drugs when you made this game?

They inject a lot of humour into their games or haven't you noticed?

Perhaps the guy was wearing glass armour :wink_smile:
