Just in time for the fiyahworks show! BOOM!
Pretty sure Mercer was using the Skeleton Key to progess in the ruins...
He has such glorious combat dialogue. "You're not a threat, you're an annoyance!" >.< Literally the second I'd started to really like the guy, he had to turn on me. And breaking into his house was like getting a look inside his brain. That...is one clever, paranoid dude. He thief-proofed his house so thoroughly, even if it meant nailing all the doors shut. And then I was wondering why the heck everyone was so puzzled as to how he'd gotten into the vault. This is the man who popped a puzzle door without the use of a claw. With no obvious lock to pick. Does he really and truly need the Skeleton Key to open a vault?
Ooh! I'll definitely have to check it out once I finish the questline.
Haha, doesn't he? I'm pretty sure he'd approve of the use of "glorious" to describe him in nearly any context as well. Yeah, he's one of my overall game favorites, really. I'll always love him despite the betrayal. I mean, seriously. I don't much care for Nocturnal generally either (oh noez, blasphemy!) and could see where he was coming from when you confront him. Then again, I have a thing for baddies across different mediums.
I dunno, when I got that will from the courier on his behalf, I was truly stunned. Call it a glitch, funky game mechanics, what have you. But all I know is that the game is set to distribute those to you from people whose affection level you've raised to a high enough level for them to consider you more than an acquaintance. The fact that Mercer Frey took some kind of liking to me intrigues and pleases me. I know I've spoken of this to you in another thread, but it still makes me smile every time I see the will in my inventory. All those times I used healing hands must have thawed that icy heart. </3
I just had this epic Mercer Frey kill last night. Nailed him with an arrow straight through the heart, in an awesome kill-cam, replete with the "Crimson Tide" mod. He fell right on top of the Snow Prince statue's giant book and smeared its pages with his blood. Though I swear I had to pour a gallon of poison into him before I could do that. And when he teleported, that freaked me out so bad. I hid in a corner for most of the fight, frantically mumbling to myself about his teleportation ability. >.< What an awesome guy. He seems so much more able to face his problems head on than the rest of the guild, what with his calling me out as a coward as I hid, which I, still retaining my warrior mindset, can appreciate. I really wish there had been a few more quests with him or that the story was longer. I was enjoying the storyline so much that it just rushed by so fast.
As for Nocturnal...she might be among the only Daedra that I do have a liking for, besides Azura. The mythos surrounding her is so beautiful and she seems like a goddess of practical application who would be very appealing to mortals. Moreso than Peryite or Molag Bal or Vaermina, anyway.
With all this talk about Mercer, I think I'm going to make him my Thrall after I kill him. That way he never has to "die" again.
I thought I read that that wasn't possible with him? If it works though, hell yeah, go for it!
Just read it. So I can't Thrall him... oh Well
That is disappointing. I have wondered if eventually there might be updates that expand the Dead Thrall options, as long as they're not totally game-breaking. I myself have not used the Thrall spell on anyone as of yet, however.
I do thank all my lucky stars for being able to get the PC version as well as my Xbox version. It makes so many more things possible via console commands and follower mods.
