Thats the Castle Ruin R?tteln in the Black Forrest :wink:

but i don't think you will be able to steal that :biggrin:

You have no inventory like in Skyrim :biggrin:

yes but also unlike skyrim I am not fool enough to attempt a high-end theft with a heavy cago on my own. I am thinking me and my buddy keith go in with some long duffle bags and have a few cleverly placed drop off points, well be fine.

you can have the claymore if we succeed. to worn for my liking.

As this is a fantasy world you kind of have to suspend all real world beliefs and just go with what the game tells you it is. You can also get glass armour and weapons, in reality these would shatter after one hit and also glass is made from sand, not malachite!

I wish the gamers and devs of today would follow this philosophy. But everyone is so hooked up on everything has to make sense, discussed to death, and logical. That alot of the fantasy games and movies are going to crap lately. It is a FANTASY people, things do not have to make sense....FFS!!!

Yes it does. It does have to make sense. However, it only needs to make sense within the fantasy world, viz., the world must be internally consistent. Which is why, for instance, glass armour should not be called glass armour, but malachite armour, etc.

I agree it has to make sense in the fantasy world itself. My thing is people complaining about real world ideals and trying to apply it to a game world.

@OP
As for Steel being shiny in game. I just do not see it. All the Steel armor IMO is dull grey and gritty along with the weapons. That is one thing I like about Skyrim. It isn't all day glo colorful cartoonish like Oblivion.
