Also this thread has inspired me to create a new character. Bolrin, ex-soldier/ex-miner/bandit chief. He uses enchanted (he's not a complete idiot) pickaxes and wood axes. :p It's actually a lot of fun to get kill cams with the pickaxe :D

Can't go wrong with a sabre cat follower. :D

I love my sabre cat follower! He's awesome and so cute when he sleeps in the middle of the Bannered Mare :)

It was really depressing, you know it was like, it was like being a little kid, you know and eating dinner at your Aunt Ruth's apartment in the summer, and it's like, like hot in there, you know, and she has that local Christian radio station on, and, and there's nothing to do or look at 'cause all she's got in the apartment are Easy Living magazines and linen doilies and then they send you out to play with the strange neighbor kids and they are all big and their skin is pink and they have really big pores and the big eighth-grader makes you look at really upsetting pictures and so you go back inside and sit down and they are all just talking and there are really big pauses in their conversation and you can hear the clock ticking on the wall, so you dig into your seat cushion and you find a really old peanut and you are so bored you eat it and then you feel bad and a little sick and then you think you are finally about to go, but then, then Aunt Ruth takes out a photo album full of black and white photos of kids with really squinty eyes and they are supposed to be your uncles and aunts or something and your parents force you to look at them.

How do you backstab a Dragon?

Now that IS a random thought. Nothing to do with Skyrim, but, RANDOM! no doubt!

Ever notice that you'll be driving along, (or walking along), and a street-light turns off right when you get to it? What is that?

Haha! Used to happen all the time. The Streets & Roads guy said it was sodium vapor lights cooling, but I just knew it was the lamp, fluffing with me.

Something other than cooling is going on. I used to walk this trail by my apartment at night. There was one particular light that used to turn off when I would get within a certain proximity, almost every time. What are the odds of that? The other night I was walking my neighborhood, (different neighborhood), and a street light went off when I came near. I paused for a second, smiling, and went on my way. It happens far too often to be coincidence.

I'll have to remember that when planning my next bank heist.

I learned today that the fall from the top of the floaty light thingy in Tel Mithryn is a lot further than it looks. :eek:

That happens to me all the time! I was told by an older man that it was because I had a lot of electricity energy in me? o_O All I know is that it's such a common occurrence that I only think "ugh, not again."

I also just realized how weird the word "occurrence" looks. maybe it's just me. :confused:

Last thing. I gave Faendal all my reikling spears and took all of his weapons to see if he would use them. Nope. He magically had a hunting bow and iron arrows :sadface:

It's not just you. I keep trying to spell it "occurrance." :/

Yeah, at TelMithryn, you have to watch that first steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....(splat!)

The reikling spears can be equipped as arrows, were you aware of that? I wasn't. When I ran out of whatever arrows I was using, reikling spears were automatically equipped, unbeknownst to me. I was trying to hit a dragon... those spears do not fly well, to say the least.

I didn't know that! That must be really awkward trying to notch a spear on a bow. o_O

I'm heading back to whiterun from dawnstar to dump some stuff in the house and suddenly there's some flashing lights, all magickal, so I check the active effects and nothing unexpected. A couple of seconds later I get the "dragon soul absorbed" message...

That explains what Barbas has been doing! I'd lost him earlier after picking a fight at Fort Dunstad and in the meantime been to Mehrunes' shrine (where I really could have done with his help). On the way back to Dawnstar I'd taken a pot shot at a distant dragon and run away. Looks like the little guy had decided to hunt it down.

I'm going to miss him :sadface:

Hehe. As soon as you make an enemy of something, your follower goes on seek and destroy. I would like to see a mod where you can interrupt their activity. Speak to Barbas: Stand down. Or something like that.

This please! I accidently used the dismay shout when I meant to use the bend will shout on the earth stone. The Red Rock guards went hostile on me and Faendal "came to the rescue". I tried to talk to him but he was too busy putting arrows and blades into Dunmers. :ashstab: I even tried to use a calming spell but nope. I had to load an earlier save so that Faendal wouldn't kill everyone in Raven Rock. :mad:

I'm used to the regular followers, although haven't used them in this play. It's also the first time I've ever really travelled with Barbas; I usually just finish his quest quickly, but this time he's helped me with some of the other Daedric lords and followed me around generally, which is nice. The big difference is that he is completely invulnerable - nothing can stand up to him whereas a regular follower will typically need some help in taking down a tough foe.
