So I got a Fishing Job to 'retrieve' a Flawless Emerald from that ass-sniffing Aerin. When I went to do the job is was like 20:00 (dark, but people still out and about). Mjoll and Aerin were standing by Balmund as if he was making/repairing something for her. I snuck up behind Aerin and got caught while taking the emerald so he went hostile. When I 'defended myself' I did a spinning back-hand decapitation! It was glorious. I've never seen Mjoll this upset - the city really gets to her.

I reloaded and succeeded on my 2nd try.

That made my night!

I wish I had video of it, but in order for me to get video I have to play in 480i for the TV's video out to work. Plus, I'd have to record constantly hoping to catch something that cool so I have to live with it in my memory.

Cool.

I may actually have to connect the old composite cables, connect the recorder, and recreate the situation over and over until I can get video because it was that sweet.

The only reason I don't kill him outright is because I fear that he will offer teh c00le$t quest EH-VAR in an expansion. Fear not, he's on the list of NPCs to be killed once Bethesda announces that there are no more expansions for TES V.

Edited for clarity.

i hate that guy.

Gotta love those decaps.

You have a LIST?

I love you. Maybe you, me, and Mjoll can...NVM.

I dual wield for the damage, but I really do love the one-handed Dagger decap CS better than the dual-wield. She (2nd character) just looks so much cooler doing the back-hand spin over the scissor animation.

Oh, yes. I'm kind of a familiar-version-of-Richard.

Short list:
Nazeem
Aerin
Louis Letrush
Every Black-Briar except Ingun (yes, I now all except Sibbi are essential...and maybe Ingun - I haven't tried)
Belethor (already 'dispatched' in my chick's game)
Skald the Elder (we'll see who's as dumb as I look)
Siddgeir
