    The future of the Dovahkiin? (Emperor?)

    In that sense, yes, Death By Thalmor Assassin is a definite option for the Dragonborn. I highly doubt it'll be the Dovahkiin's canon ending, though. They'll receive all those preorders anyway, no reason to alienate fans who are attached to their Skyrim characters and think better of them than...

    The future of the Dovahkiin? (Emperor?)

    ...How do you figure?

    Character Concept: Glory-Hunting Nord Sorceror?

    Okay, my idea is a young Nord with a powerful but undeveloped gift for magic who was born outside Skyrim, and returns to his father's homeland convinced that he's destined for great things, in the sense that he intends to make a name for himself as a hero no matter who he has to hurt and what he...

    The future of the Dovahkiin? (Emperor?)

    Well, yes, you can certainly look at it that way. Without meta-gaming, though, what is the Dovahkiin's prospects after stopping Alduin given the premises of the lore? I'm not much interested in how they'll be hand-waved in the next game, just where their story could realistically go after the...

    The future of the Dovahkiin? (Emperor?)

    It's been years since I played the main quest to completion. What exactly is implied about the Dovahkiin's stake in Tamriel's future after the game? Being the Dragonborn, I mean? All the previous Dragonborn since the first defeat of the dragons(if I remember correctly) were emperors, except for...

    Why do so many people hate squishy mages?

    Nobody is upset or offended, I'm just observing that next time you try to play diplomat, you might want to actually watch your own inflections. Implying that someone is stupid and sticking out your tongue at them and then expecting them not to be offended because you're being so "lighthearted"...

    Why do so many people hate squishy mages?

    More likely you're not very aware of your own impressions. In specifically terming it ironic to use the "word" stupider, you directly imply that people who use it are stupid. That seems like a counterproductive point to make in any attempt to calm down a situation OR correct someone's grammar...

    Why do so many people hate squishy mages?

    And now I'm compelled to point out the irony in "having" to criticize somebody's vocabulary while supposedly trying to calm down an argument. I'm fine with stupider. It flows perfectly and makes itself understood rather nicely. :P *bursts proverbial bubble* You can shelve the clichés, min ven...

    Why do so many people hate squishy mages?

    Did I say that you did? I was replying to your statement "If you like it, it's absolutely fine, but don't say that Skyrim's magic is good and that it has a variety of spells, that's just not so. If anything, it's average at best." I just pointed out that nobody implied anything to the...

    The Lusty Riekling

    ...I need to play Dragonborn. Right now.

    Why do so many people hate squishy mages?

    Oh, come on. You're kidding, right? Forget continuously dodging the point and ignoring our arguments, you haven't actually played the entire game?! This is a waste of time. Nobody's saying that Skyrim's magical system is better than any other one, just that it's different and more interesting...

    Why do so many people hate squishy mages?

    Games being adapted for a wider audience doesn't ruin them unless nobody actually plays them, and the Elder Scrolls fan-base has only been expanding since the games' supposed "decline". And don't kid yourself, you're not criticizing or making constructive suggestions, you're whining because you...

    Why do so many people hate squishy mages?

    Which games and which spells are you talking about in particular? Be specific. It's a good idea for immersion, but not exactly fair to casual gamers who don't want to be a wizard to avoid long walks. And if you already have fast travel, teleportation is completely obsolete. It's that simple...

    Why do so many people hate squishy mages?

    Yes, well, that's not the way mages work in most RPGs, like it or not. You're not actually supposed to be overpowered unless you deliberately exploit the game mechanics or lower the difficulty. It's not like the warrior feels any more badass when the common bandit takes four or five warhammer...

    Why do so many people hate squishy mages?

    Of course, you want the nigh-immortal walking nuke who turns enemies to ash with a single touch and summons meteors with a snap of his fingers. Oblivion sort of allowed that because the math was completely unbalanced, but that's just not how Skyrim mages work. You need to think while you...

    Why do so many people hate squishy mages?

    That's true for all characters. I've yet to find anything in the game you can't simply outrun. It's not that mages necessarily need to do anything, it's just more interesting and effective to use your spells in diverse and creative ways than simply blast everything until you run out of magicka...

    Why do so many people hate squishy mages?

    Exactly. Using a much more complicated, less intuitive system of effects, magic relies more on player skill and patience than simple hack'n slash gameplay, which only really requires a sense of timing, if even that. Well, yes. And as we seem to agree, that's the most boring and frustrating...

    Why do so many people hate squishy mages?

    Flames is crazy powerful and a real lifesaver early on when you know how to use it. (Spam-tapping to set enemies on fire several times over and watching the stacking DoT effect drain their lives like water.) Especially if you combine it with the Aspect Of Terror Illusion perk, making it the most...

    Xbox 360 Your first time? ;)

    ^That is hilarious. I walked out of the cave with Hadvar, saw a butterfly, chased it and got lost in the woods around Falkreath. It took me three days to find the main quest again.

    Vampire Roleplay?

    Ooh, I've done this. Was on a Vampire: The Masquerade binge a few months ago and made a wandering herbalist in Skyrim who was turned by accident while investigating the mysterious burnt-down house in Morthal, and then simply immersed mysef in the night-to-night of being a vampire in the middle...
