Been sitting in a dentists chair a lot this week, getting the teeth back on track. Decided to try and take my mind off the pain with some new games. Picked up Drake’s Fortune 3, Dead Island and Skyrim. Put Skyrim into the PS3 and haven’t played other games since. I played Oblivion, loved it, and now Skyrim is here. I usually need to see something funny as hell or new and wonderful as far as game play goes to play these huge open games. I loved the Fallout series, especially going on the alien ship and destroying the little grey people, and then the historical people from the cryro chamber, LMFAO! Loved Just Cause 2, more for the tropical scenes that made me feel all warm in the winter.
But Skyrim, wow, awesome! I became a Redguard and am treated like garbage because I’m not a Nord. I go for magic, light armour and swords/daggers. Trying out blacksmithing, lots of interesting stuff to do in Skyrim. I’m tending to go with the rebel scum, to hell with the empire. I’m at level 21, still won’t go after giants. Then there’s the trolls, ya know, even when you flame them they still come back to bug you, bloody trolls. Bought the house in Whiterum (that’s what I would be drinking like water if I lived there), what a godforsaken place. Discovered the city of Solitude, working up to buy the $25,000 house there. People there are stuck up though, guess I’ll fit in. The graphics for Skyrim kick butt, much better than Oblivion, orcs actually look scary instead of like Shrek. Killed myself 9 dragons now, got the companion Lydia but she’s a bit of a wimp. She’s died on me a few times and no matter how much I lay my hands on her body and pray to the God’s, she won’t come back to life, why can’t I just whistle her lovely bottom back to life like I could with my horse in Red Dead Redemption?
Found Sheogorath in one mission and got his Wabbajack, what a great weapon. Not sure what the exact levels for armour are, I’m currently going all elven. In Oblivion near the beginning (level 10) you could go get some amber armour and a sword for soul catching from Umbra, not sure if someone like her exists in Skyrim. Love the new settings, Solitude on a cliff face, going over the waterfalls, ruins I don’t need torches or other light to explore, the freakin Arctic in a video game, cool, just don’t go toe to toe with the mutant walrus.
