Questions No-one Bothers to Ask

[Hermaeus_Mora]

Why would anyone call their kid "Malborn"? That's pretty much the same as "malfunction" if you ask me.

Why do guards always ask about stolen sweetrolls?

Why do guards always ask about stolen sweetrolls?

Psychologists call it "projection." It's quite likely that these guards' are traumatized by the theft of their own sweetrolls and they deal with it by accusing others of being upset about their own sweetrolls being stolen.
Granted, when my character was ten, some bigger kids beat him up and took his sweetroll, so he's more concerned with how the guards know about it (and why they insist on reminding him).

Play Fallout 3 and you shall understand.

Why is Xbox Marketplace not available to every country?

The name Malborn is an alias - he chose it for himself in order to conceal his identity from the Thalmor. After his family was killed in Valenwood, he no doubt felt as though he had been mal-born. Behold, the contract of the guy who was sent to assassinate him.

Description of Target:
Bosmer male, goes by Malborn. Believed to be working for the Blades, so approach with caution.
He has inside knowledge of our procedures, so he will be warier than usual. Malborn is not his real name - he's now been identified as a survivor of a family of traitors who were all believed to have died in a fire in Falinesti.
Do not risk him evading us. He's likely trying to leave Skyrim. Make sure of your kill, and do not implicate us.

Didn't know that lol

 

[Templar of Talos]

Why do guards find curved swords so unbelievable?

 

[Janus3003]

^Same reason kids freak out over katanas OOOH, HE DID NOT JUST GO THERE!!!

 

[Templar of Talos]

^As well as the Samurai style Blades armour.... and I PROUDLY went there!

 

[Kairee Blackblade]

@ Templar of Talos - love your signature pic...but how exactly do you wear their pointy ears? Sew them onto your clothes? String them together and wear them as a belt (like Kali's girdle of human hands)?

Janus the Dragonborn in your sig looks like Boromir

How do merchants and guards know which goods are stolen?

 

[XboxDovahkiin]

Why do do i learn combat tips and the homelands of races whenever i walk into a building.

 

[PauletteDova]

Perhaps so, Paulette. But if she's got the coin, she's pretty much welcome anywhere. Money talks and all that. As for giants, no need to tame them as they are already our friends. This is what happens when you assist them in slaying a dragon. Maybe. "And how would Mr. Giant like his dragon steak prepared? Medium-well, you say? Can do."

Meh. Fair enough. But the problem is. Giants seem to hate me. I had to rescue this Goat from some Giant and. I dont think I wanted me take it away. I dont really remember Giants being friendly when you walk up really close to them. But I DO remember them hating me getting a Mammoth Tusk for Ysolda.

I took the easy way out on Ysolda's quest. I raided Halted Stream Camp. Easier to kill a few bandits than an angry mammoth and his owner. I've never been able to get to close to the giants (when I'm not trying to kill them) without going into orbit...

Well, I don't do too well with them either. I usually go in to steal their mammoth cheese , then run like hell. I just thought it would be cool to ride them into battle. I mean, we have Dragon Call but no Giant Call?! How messed up is that? And you know what? I'd attack you, too, for trying to steal my goat. Gotta side with the giants on that one, Paulette.

Also, here's my new theory on that homeless woman in Windhelm. She is the true heir to the throne, not Ulfric that rat bastard. She's his older sister, thus being next in line for the throne. But Ulfric has kept her down in the gutter for so long and outta the public eye, that everyone can't help but think of her as a beggar, not Ulfric's sibling. He probably paid the whole city off not to rent or sell her any property, too.

I wasnt actually stealing his goat though.
[/spoiler] The DAEDRIC quest where you meet Sam and do the drinking contest and you go all over skyrim doing junk. Yeah. I didnt feel like wasting 2,000 g on some goat.

I could've just bought it anyways.. But. I still wanted to eat Mammoth for dinner :U
