I know what monkeys do with frogs. It ain't nice (for the frog)...

Not bad for the monkey, though!

I would link you but it's more than likely ban-worthy...

In the video in question a chimpanzee is, shall we say, gratifying himself using the frog's mouth.

Edit: Yes, I know that chimps and monkeys are seperate species, before anyone decides to point it out..

LMAO! OMG that reminds me of the time I was heading to Kolskegger mIne. I already had my bow ready, but the three Forsworns outside the mine where totally focused on some enemy on the bridge. They were yelling stuff like "you won't get away" and shooting arrows at someone. I was like who the heck is here besides me? And then I saw the vicious thing they were after... a little bunny zig zagging past the Forsworns LOL

I left them to it and just entered the mine.

I had a similar thing, I was sneaking around a bandit camp, when suddenly, an archer and a beserker rush out in full combat mode, and start chasing after a bunny which was hopping outside the closed gate. And yet they never noticed me.

Some monkeys, or more precisely "male chimps", have been observed to use frogs for mastvrbation.

Yeah, but real life hunting requires a bit more stalking and patience. Not to mention, hitting them wrongly never kills them. Just cruelly makes them get away and suffer in solitude. Maybe you'll stumble across the corpse later.

Indeed.

Hitting a rl deer in the tail would do pretty much nothing.

Hitting a rl deer in the wrong part of the body would to pretty much nothing, in fact.

Hope there's locational damage in TES VI

Hunting is not allowed in skyrim, it'll add to your assault stat. In fact, shooting a skeleton will increase it as well :yuck:

According to another thread I just read you should try hunting 8ear. Unless you're lvl 30 or less.

Even in RL, "thay" are weak prey animals. No surprise here, it's actually quite realistic.

I take it you've never hit a deer in your car then? They are anything but "weak" my wife slammed one pretty good with her Pathfinder, damn thing jumped out in front of it. Deer got up, looked at the truck and ran off.

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 9:57 am

This.

lol It's not like they're predatory animals. They eat grasses and leaves. By the Gods... if they gave the Deer talons and fangs to go with those horns, then people would be complaining about having a Deer run them down and one-shotting them...

They're weak because they are prey animals. They're around as food for Wolves and Bears (and target practice for intrepid Archers and Destruction Mages too... :wink:

), nothing more.

But, but, they're underpowered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :swear:

A good hunter always follows the blood trail and always trys to make a kill as clean and fast as possible.The OP might have gotten overzealous, instead of waiting to see where the deer would run to the OP decided to take a gamble, just got lucky and managed to just catch the deer.Happens to even the most seasoned hunters. :biggrin:

Thats the " flight or fight " response kicken in.That deer died shortly after once the shock and adrenaline wore off, I live in CAN. and you aint seen notten till you see a moose get hit by an 18 wheeler!!

Yeah, there's no "targeting" like in the Fallout series, or Soldier of Fortune. Where hitting certain areas can produce different effects. Reduced accuracy for hitting their arm, reduced movement for hitting their leg and so on. One of the screnshots in my link, I hit a necromancer with an arrow and it went across the bridge of his nose--not into the head--and killed him.

I thought there was a mod for PC that did make it possible to do the targeting thing? Where if you shoot the NPC in the same shoulder that was holding the sword the NPC would drop said sword.Or if you shoot em in the knee :tongue:

it would slow their movement.

Perhaps there is, but I dont have any mods installed yet. In Fallout, I would most frequently target the eyes. Being released by Interplay/Black Isle, perhaps Boo from Baldur's Gate had an influence on this. In SoF, I liked to aim for the throat.

But I think targeting in Skyrim might be a bit trickier, since the combat is more fast paced.

A system like the VATS in Fallout would work, combat in Fallout was just as fast as in Skyrim you just need to be faster then the NPC. :biggrin:

I've only played FO 1 and 2, where combat was turn based, and used action points for moving, attacking and so on.

Nope, that doe my wife hit is still around. I remember she hit the right rear of the deer. She got up her rear right leg was all tore up. I thought she died but I saw it again last summer. Her leg is all jacked up but it healed. She had a few fawns with her too. Deer are pretty stout animals. Yeah, getting tagged by an 18 Wheeler sure would mess anything up.

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 2:23 pm

If you want a challenge always spook the deer and then try to shoot them. When you do get one it is much more satisfying as they are quite difficult to hit in mid run due to the zig zag nature of their pathing.

One lucky deer! The moose ends up a mushy flesh bag and the truck can get flatened as well if it doesn't have a moose catcher on the front.

edit: a fully grown moose can weigh as much as 800-1500pounds and stands 4.5-7 feet at the shoulder, they are bigger then an actual Elk, so I don't call the Elk in skyrim Elk I call em moose.
