» Fri Jun 22, 2012 12:14 am

so just finished up this quest to go do the task of the "Daedric Prince of Wishes"

why does his voice remind me of the guy who played the "Invisible Man" from the movie "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" its not the same voice actor is it o.0 ?

and is it just me or does the face of the dude holding the head shaped object resemble Einstien ?

also I swear the statue told me a Reference to Fable o.0

Spoiler

A hero and is Faithful Companion Retrieving an Ancient artifact fro the prince its almost ... Storybook

Dunno about the v-a, you could look that up in IMDB and cross-ref with UESPWiki's list. As for Clavicus Vile resembling http://media.photobucket.com/image/albert%20einstein/Wyndridge3/albert-einstein1.jpg?o=3 in any way... :frog:

Oh, come on. Couldn't you have found a better picture?

Seriously? That's the iconic picture of Einstein.

This. Some portraits just stay, like that one of http://bookhaven.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/che-guevara.jpeg. Everyone knows that portrait, I'm unsure how many would recognise him on another picture.

This is a little more http://www.britannica.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Einstein3.jpg in my opinion.

Teaching at Princeton, doing what he loved, not sticking his tongue out.

@Stigwa
And if a person can't recognize an imperative piece of human history because the picture isn't familiar they should probably stay out of anolyzing history all together.

Based on what I know of Einstein (which is not as much as a biographer, but a fair amount), I think he would be quite happy to be recognized by a picture of him sticking his tongue out.

I've never seen that picture before, but I've seen the other. :biggrin:

Okay, that's great. What's your point..?

I think he'd be a little turned off if people just saw the tongue and the hair and believed that was all he was. He was more than an ecentric person. He was an ecentric mathematician... Who did quite a bit of plagarizing in his earlier years.

@Stigwa
That was my point exactly.

That was my point exactly.

I like ancient and Medieval history, so that's understandable. As far as I know, more people know the tongue one and not the other.
That makes that picture more of an "icon" for Einstein, if there is one.

Ya know most of the time when someone posts a question in the forum, you veterans are more than helpful with ansewering the persons question. Apparently now all ya do is squabble over which picture is more "iconic".

And a "helpful" answer to "Does X look like Einstein?" would be....?

I didn't learn it til last year.

Well he might have the look but he doesn't seem to have Einstein's smarts.

Spoiler

After all he went through with that sword of doom awhile back, now he's messing around with some kind of magic axe that guards say looks like it could "cut through a god?"

This.

And no I don't think he looks like Einstein but he does crop up in both Morrowind and Oblivion so maybe you heard from him there...?
