Riften is an interesting place. There are a lot of people and a lot of thieving and other interesting things going down. I'm really finding all of the politics and inner workings of all the different cities the most interesting about this game because there is A LOT of drama.
In Riften there is this "bunkhouse" which is for the workers of Riften to stay in while they're working in the fisheries or whateverhaveyou and the lady who runs it is Haelga. She is this cute little blonde number and although she says "if you're looking for a place to stay go to the Bee and Barb and get a room" (the local pub) I can still stay in her bunkhouse on an unused bed for free. HURRAY!
But doesn't Haelga look like a vixen? You're right, I didn't think so either. She has a statue of Dibella in her entranceway which isn't strange because Dibella is the goddess of love and beauty (The Skyrim Venus, if you will) and there are Dibellan statues in almost every pretty lady's place.
Haelga isn't a very friendly person she's sort of hard and cold and this can be backed up by her maid, Svana. Not only is Svana her maid, but she's Haelga's niece as well. She's pretty bitter about the way Haelga's been treating her so she imparts to me a little secret.
Apparently Haelga is QUITE the town bicycle. WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I know, right? DRAMA IN THE BUNKHOUSE. I had NO idea Skyrim would be so gossipy! The reason Svana gave me this little tidbit of information is because she wants me to seek out the people Haelga has slept with and CONFRONT Haelga about her looseness. Just to tone her down a bit and to make her be nicer to Svana. Sure, I'm always into a little blackmail.
Haelga has given all the men she sleeps with "the mark of dibella" - this cute little jewel to our left. I'm supposed to go rustle up the dudes who have slept with her and get those things back and that's my proof that I know she's slept with those guys.
I won't get into all the raunchy details......but ALL of the guys she's been sleeping with are MARRIED...and not to Haelga! SCANDALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS WHOLE QUEST is not even the best part. In Haelga's room in the bunkhouse I found the GEM OF GEMS. I don't mean literal treasure, I mean something hilarious that still makes me laugh out loud today.
I found: SKYRIM EROTICA. I'm not kidding. You know those reallllly sultry scenes in some books.....well THIS....this is something to behold. It made my likeness for this game increase EXPONENTIALLY. I will impart this video to you of some guy reading it out because it is easier than me reading it out, videoing, and then posting. TAKE A LOOK. (I highly encourage you to take a look).
SERIOUSLY EVERYONE....The Lusty Argonian Maid?!?!? How is that NOT brilliant?
Do you remember way back wheneverthatwas when I talked about how EXCITED I was to go to Riften? Because I had heard so much about it and I need my jewels to be appraised!
My main purpose of coming to Riften though: FINDING ESBERN. In said post above I couldn't quite remember his name but he was important and YES, he is actually important. He's the leader of THE BLADES, you know, those people who are supposed to protect and talk about the Dragonborn....and the Dragonborn.....who is that again? OH RIGHT! IT'S ME! HURRAY!
Off to Riften I go. It is DARK and DREARY there. It's like there's no moment where it's not foggy. Riften is a pretty cool settlement because it's on a lake and there are all of these docks and A LOT of people. I am looking at this picture and I'm like....huh.....I have not been to like half the places in that picture and I've been trolling around Riften for a long time....EFF. Now I'm going to have to figure it all out.
Riften, as I've learned, is home to the Thieves Guild and there are MANY mixed emotions about this. Some people are IN the guild so they're like yeah, werd, this shit is great, and others are like "GUILD PFFT, they don't have the right to be called that" or something similar.
I meet these two characters, Mjoll the Lioness and Aerin, and they are both seemingly good people. Mjoll is pretty badass and kind of breaks down gender stereotypes because she's a well travelled warrior who got ill and was nursed back to health by Aerin who told her of the shit going down in Riften so she vowed to save the town. She is not stoked on the thieves guild. I hope she might be a contender for my love at some point...I would totally consider her as a life partner.
RIGHT, so I'm trying to find ESBERN, and peeps in the pub say I should check the RATWAYS. SWA? They are underneath Riften and a little freaky. They tell me that THALMOR (seriously, these guys are ridiculous Elves...just give up already, I'm the DRAGONBORN) are running around the Ratways trying to find some person so I should be careful. When am I not careful you guys? I mean REALLY.
I don't know how I'm feeling about all of this creeping around. Maybe I'm just feeling overwhelmed by HAVING TOO MANY QUESTS or because I am playing this game because I'm sad and unemployed.....or ALL OF THE ABOVE. PLUS the ratway is skingy....like skingier than all of the caves I've been in.
BUT ALAS, INTO THE RATWAYS I GO! Peeps were right there are Thalmor bitches everywhere. WHATEVS, I'll shoot them with my arrows and my stealth-sneak-attackalack.
Esbern was hiding in a pretty secure little place with bolts on the door and the such. Because that will keep him away from DRAGONS....right? SO I told him....ESBERN........I am your father......KIDDING! I said I'm the DRAGONBORN and Delphine sent me so in other words, come with me if you want to live.
PHEW. Now we have to go to some precious place called Alduin's Wall and I am a little nervous about that :S TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!
HOLY SHIT BALLS! It is my OneMonthAnniversary of purchasing Skyrim and playing it and then writing about it. Can you believe it? AND I'M NOT EVEN MAD....that's amazing! (sorry.....Anchorman joke)
I still don't know how to check to see how many hours I've played the game but I'm guessing on a WHOLE LOT because I have an assignment that is actually two days late that I need to hand in and mostly the reason is Skyrim (but is also me reading and having more French Tests and finding a job etc)...but MOSTLY Skyrim.
ALSO, I am POPULAR, you know, for being hilarious and writing about Skyrim because in one whole month people are READING this blog. Like 986 people. THAT'S ALMOST 1000!!!!!! I don't know if it's 1000 actual people.....but my blog has been viewed that many times and in my head I want to say that's almost the same thing. But really, I have 17 posts, so if each post was read once by a person then that would mean that realistically only 58 people are reading this which isn't that many but ALMOST A THOUSAND VIEWS....that's pretty good right?
ANYWERT - to commemorate this event I entered into a DRINKING CONTEST!!!!!! I had some friends over to drink (in real life) and I was playing Skyrim before they came over and thought I'd show off by entering into this drinking contest just as they got here. GREAT, right?!?!
Sam invites me to join him in a drinking contest
I was in Riften and hanging out in the Bee and Barb, you know, like any casual day in Riften, and this guy Sam was sitting there. Being the extremely inquisitive wood elf I am I decided to talk to him. Then he CHALLENGES me. To a DRINKING contest. As if I could turn that down. I won second place in PUB GOLF......so basically this is a no-brainer. He promised me some "staff" if I won and I clearly won...but by drinking only THREE drinks...how ridiculous....I could drink this guy under the table ANY DAY.
THEN, the screen went BLACK and I woke up all of a sudden in some place I've never been before! It's a place called Markarth and man oh man I am CONFUSED apparently I'm in some temple of Dibella and this lady is yelling at me and I have a HEAD ACHE (effin mead). I had to tell my friends, who don't play ANY video games....ever....except for mario kart on wii or something, that this was NOT expected. I thought I would get drunk and stumble around and maybe start seeing things like when you drink that weird potion in Uncharted 3 and then you'd go to sleep and just be sub-par the next day.
So the lady in the temple is telling me I made a mess and I'm a big jerk and I need to clean up and I'm all "Where's Sam? Where's my staff?" and she's all, BITCH YOU MADE A MESS. CLEAN THAT UP. I was unimpressed but I humoured her. Anything that would make her stop yelling at me.
I'm asking all over town which is on a cliff and is REALLY confusing to get around because it's ALL CLIFFS
It's really pretty......but it's intense. ALSO, on my way I got SIDETRACKED into a haunted house but that's for another day.
AllThePeople kept telling me that the "sam guy" I was with went to Rorikstead...so I should go there. So I did that.....and got told that apparently I STOLE A GOAT. I am up to ridiculous shenanigans when drunk in Skyrim apparently. Not only did I steal this goat but I SOLD it....to a GIANT. So I had to go get it back. That was easy enough but when I came back to GoatGuy he told me I bought a WEDDING RING in Whiterun.
WHOA WHOA WHOA. WEDDING RING?!?!?! I know I'm wearing the Amulet of Mara and all the ladies (and gents) should know I'm available, but to get engaged WITHOUT ME KNOWING (errr...remembering....shit...this is embarrassing). I am getting to the bottom of this.
Ysolda in Whiterun tells me that if I'm not going to get married anymore she wants the ring back.....SERIOUSLY, I hate having to clean up after myself She told me to go to Witchmist Grove where my fiancée lives and that sounds vaguely familiar. I HAVE been there before so luckily I get to fastrackalack over there and I run into THIS looker:
Can you say MEAD GOGGLES?!?!?! This bitch is one gross lady. And she wants to CONSUMMATE OUR MARRIAGE.......I am NOT into that.....so I pummel her with my warhammer and take the ring away. I gave it back to Ysolda and she told me where to find Sam......
A pearly white bit turns up and I end up at yet ANOTHER tea party except for in this one Sam reveals himself as Sanguine, a Daedric Prince who revels in debauchery....so he's all about passion and the CHAOS it can create. He at least holds his side of the bargain, and gave me the Sanguine Rose staff.
WHAT A GUY!!!!
Now that my cyberheadache is gone I am TOTALLY READY TO DO IT AGAIN.
I want to dedicate this post to ALL the girlfriends of gamers out there. You know, the ladies who sit on the other end of the couch (or another couch alltogether) while their significant other is playing Mass Effect, or the lady who is impatiently waiting at a table for two while her boyfriend is just finishing that last quest, or the woman who goes to bed at 12:30am because she has to work in the morning and has had her sexual advances turned down because her boyfriend was busy falling out of an airplane or assassinating some priest.
But really - what's a guy to do? Or a GAL, in my case. There are those couples where the guy is super into this stuff and the girl looks like that lady above being all like "Seriously John Smith....you prematurely ejaculated on purpose just to make it to your raid on time?", and then there are girls who are like me that think it's radical their dudes are into this stuff and aren't entirely foreign to the world of gaming, and then there are the girls who are SUPER into gaming and know a lot more than me because they've been gaming since they were fetuses.
That guy I date always tells me how awesome I am for a lot of reasons: My taste in music is really great, I am super into comics/graphic novels (and you throw in a little fairy tale in there I'm HOOKED), I know the parts/engineering under the hood of my car and can also fix some of them myself, I can change a tire, and up until now, I idly sat by while he played video games and he was stoked that I wasn't ^ that girl.
But now I'm finding myself in a situation that a lot of guys are in. MY girlfriends aren't understanding my recent obsession/possession of SKYRIM. A girlfriend of mine called me last month before I started playing and I asked her about the guy she had been sleeping with:
Me: SO, how are things with whatshisname?
J: Oh ummm, I'm not sure, he hasn't called or texted me in like two weeks.
Me: What?! Why?
J: Well, the last time we hung out he went to the store and bought skyrim, then we went home, had sex, and I came home. I haven't heard from him since.
SOUND FAMILIAR TO ANYONE!??!?!! I'm pretty sure that resonates with a few people entering into a new thing or whatever it is. I also had another situation when I was out drinking with a guy friend I hadn't seen in a while:
Me: So Joe, What's new?
Joe: Not too much.
Joe's friend: HEY, is your girlfriend coming out tonight?
Joe: She's NOT my girlfriend.
Joe's friend: What do you MEAN she's not your girlfriend? Any girl who sits on your couch and watches you play Skyrim is your girlfriend.
Point taken Joe's Friend....Point taken.
So basically, my whole POINT of this post is: girls......just LET IT HAPPEN. PLAY A LITTLE. OR, Read my Blog...because then you will at least know a little bit of what your boyfriend is talking about when he's like "That Haunted House in Markarth is BOGUS." That and I'm really funny.
NO WONDER I LOVE THIS GAME. While there are no shortage of references and allusions in popular culture to Lewis Caroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the ones that DO reference it and do it WELL, get five hooka-smoking-caterpillars out of five in my books.
Skyrim does hommage to this by way of a "madman" wandering around in Solitude by the Blue Palace. He tells me his boss is on vacation....that's lasted fo-eva. It's times like these where I wish I could put my own REAL LIFE reactions to these situations because I would have been like "HAVE A DRINK BUDDY, LET'S GET SOME MEAD" to celebrate. But unfortunately Astaldofânwen was made to be inquisitive and is like "Well I'll help you get that guy back so that you can feel some sense of purpose in life rather than aimlessly roaming around the Blue Palace and SCARING THE LOCALS."
In order to find this guy I had to gain access to the Pelagius Wing of the Blue Palace which is said to be haunted and no one goes in there and it's this big deal. I don't know why, but apparently it is. I don't know much about Pelagius, other than he was the Jarl of Solitude at one point and went a little bonkers - MY KINDA GUY. I wonder if he'll check out my amulet of mara?
I get the key into the Pelagius Wing from a pretty lady sitting down who cleans the place and I HEAD ON IN. there are COBWEBS and it is QUIET and there are books all over and chairs thrown all over the place and I'm thinking - why isn't this area being USED FOR SOMETHING....like a PARTY?!?!?!? It would be great on Halloween.
I'm also being sneaky because this place sort of freaks me out and who knows what kind of thing will come out at me. So I start walking down this hall and all of a sudden I AM IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PLACE. OUTSIDE. Where some people are having a MAD TEA PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY FAVORITE KIND!!!!! Another moment where I wish I could say my own things like "WHO'S UNBIRTHDAY ARE WE CELEBRATING?!?!?!" came so I just said it out loud anyway.
Pelagius the Mad was a dead ringer for the Mad Hatter (except for he didn't have a hat, but he is MAD, so that counts right?) and the guy in the pretty cloak could have been the Marge Hare. Why not. At this point I sort of felt like the tiny mouse (twinkle twinkle little bat?!). ALSO my clothes are different, I have no weapons, my items list can't be accessed and I feel NAKED. But in reality I'm wearing this SILLY HAT:
<<SIDEBAR: HOLY FUCK YOU GUYS....I just spent like 20 minutes internet searching for the outfit they put on me when I entered into this wonderland and HOW HAS NO ONE TALKED ABOUT THE OUTFIT BEFORE!?!?!?! I can't believe I didn't take a picture of HOW SILLY I LOOKED because I can't find a picture on the internet ANYWHERE......DAMMIT.>>
The Marge Hare sort of tells me that we are in Pelagius' mind and that he's got some shit to deal with (GREAT, the guy's got issues, TAKE A NUMBER BUDDY, I'M THE DRAGONBORN). So I follow one of the stonehenge-like pillar-y type things and Pelagius is sleeping on a bed so I hit him with this Wabbajack thing The Hare gave me and then a wolf shows up so I hit him and he turns into A GOAT and then I hit sleeping beauty again and creepy things keep showing up every time I hit him and then I hit the things that come up and they turn into his mom....and other things.....(kid issues, mom issues, this guy has got 'em that's for sure. They seem like the bad things turn into good things.....so I'm not sure why the wolf would turn into a goat....did he have a good time with a goat? Was Pelagius both mad AND a fan of bestiality? Also wtf does this weird staff do anyway? It's weird).
Then I walk into another entrance to something and the Titans are fighting and some dude is watching and I think I have to kill the Titans but really I'm supposed to kill the dudes watching who turn into wolves (is there a clinical term for people who are scared of wolves? because THIS DUDE HAS GOT IT.....I don't need to be a doctor to diagnose that).
THEN, probably the coolest of the three entrance ways I'm supposed to beat is Pelagius' ANGER and CONFIDENCE who are duking it out, hitting each other and making each other little and big and sort of like each time they punch each other means they've eaten the wrong side of the mushroom. WHY WASN"T THE CATERPILLAR MORE CLEAR AS TO WHAT SIDE DOES WHAT????
Well you know what they say, a little goes a long way. This is what the fight looked like for all of them:
So kind of cool anyway. I got Pelagius' hip bone.......cool.....I guess...whatever I need that for. Good thing that's all sorted out. NOW GIVE ME MY THALMOR ARMOR BACK BITCHES.
YOU GUYS. SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED. I am ultra behind on the blogging bit and super ahead in the playing bit. Because things are happening around the house (that thing where I said I would be blogging a whole lot unless I miraculously got a JOB sort of happened but only briefly...for like two weeks...but then I became the MASTER of odd job findings, so now I am employed for yet ANOTHER TWO WEEKS! It's a Christmas Miracle!) I have been playing and not blogging which is maybe not good for business because I FORGET what I've done.
You might think "how can you forget what you've done" but when you're accumulating like a hundred mini quests per hour of play and only completing maybe two mini quests and half a main quest per hour well...YOU DO THE MATH BECAUSE I AM A FRENCH TEACHER WHO IS REALLY GOOD AT FAKING ABOUT KNOWING A LOT OF MATH (read as: lazy).
BUT, to the DAAL! I have been HUNGRY for all things delicious and decided that I would make something DELICIOUS to give me energy to SLAY DRAGONS (hence the DAAL and DRAGONS bit).
LOOK AT THIS:
RIGHT?!?! SO delicious. The Daal is from THIS DELICIOUS PLACE but is also known as my boyfriend's parent's pantry. (BEST DEAL EVAR RIGHT?!?!) and that bread is HOME MADE. And the drink is CHAI with FOAMED skim milk (which is my favorite kind). Basically you're all jealous, it's fine, I get it.
A SLIGHT update, but I have gone to RIFTEN. I've been waiting AGES to go to RIFTEN because it is said to have a guy who can appraise the unusual gems that I have. But WHY!?!?!?! did I go there you may ask. After returning to Delphine from the Thalmor Embassy to collect things to see about the goings on behind the dragons, I told her about this conversation that I overheard whilst in the embassy about them trying to locate this guy...Endersby? No that's not right....Andurs? No that's the guy in the Hall of the Dead in Whiterun.....ummmm......ANYWAY he is IMPORTANT because he's the leader of the Blades (you know that secret organization that Delphine is a part of) and he was thought to be dead! But he is NOT. So now I'm supposed to go find him. Go Riften!
I'm basically the bearer of the best news ever.....in my opinion. But I'm biased.
As I was walking out of Whiterun one day, minding my own business, I came upon two men standing at the gates. They said to me "HEY YOU HAVE YOU SEEN A REDGUARD LADY!?!?!?" and I was all "uhhh.....I've seen a few redguard people in Whiterun......sooooo how exactly am I supposed to be certain that I've seen who you're looking for?" and then they sort of walked away being like "well if you see her" without really answering my question. Nice People.
Apparently it took me forever to find this woman even though I kind of like Whiterun and I hang out there on the regular and I like to drink there, and sleep especially to pass the time because I have a free bed there in Jorvaskr since I'm a Companion and all. BUT I FOUND THE REDGUARD LADY, and she is HOT. She told me this sob story about how this pretty bad guy Kematu was after her and that I should probably go and kill him because he is BAD. And I'm a sucker for women in distress in this game because I ALWAYS WANT TO HELP THEM, even though this chick might actually be a fugitive I don't care.
She's hot, right?
ALSO, I'm wearing the Amulet of Mara, which, by the way, tells the ladies that I'm available.....TO DATE....and marry, and the such so really I'm just scoping out my prospects of potential lovers. I can see the allure to women of the thing, it's quite pretty, and I would know, since I'm a woman, but do guys really have to wear this bulky thing?
So I go to some cave, which there seems to be a lot of in Skyrim, and I find Kematu and all of his peeps - there are A LOT OF PEEPS. But something TRAGIC happened amidst my hammering those peeps away.
For an hour my playstation was stuck about to bludgeon an Alik'r warrior to death with my Dwarven Warhammer in hopes that it would somehow UNFREEZE because I was completely unsure as to whether it SAVED or not and then I'd have to redo a whole bunch of things like KILL A DRAGON and fight a bunch of dudes and my level would decrease and I would be the SADDEST.
Alas, no unfreezing occured so a restart of my PS3 was necessary BUT LUCKILY I only had to redo the part where I entered into the cave so that was fortunate (PHEWF).
Then I proceeded to kill a bunch of bitches and Saadia thanked me but it wasn't necessarily a "happy ending" if you know what I mean. Apparently my charm, whit, and heroism didn't appeal to her, regardless of my badass necklace. *sigh* I guess there are plenty of fish in the sea....or so they say.
So remember that time that I said I had TOO MANY QUESTS?!?!?!?! That wasn't even the beginning. I got some good advice from a friend today and he said: screw the main quest, do all the little ones! To which I replied "FUCK YEAH".
When I beat that Dwarven Centurion I found this little jewel thing called the "Beacon of somenameicantremember"and this CREEPY otherworldly voice bellowed out some mumbojumbo about bringing this special beacon to Mount Kilkreath and it was kind of scary?!?! It went something like " YOUUUUUUUUUU YOUUUU THERE WITH THAT BEACON YOU'VE FOUND IT AND YOU MUST BRING IT TO ME, TO MEEEEEEEEE. IT HAS BEEN STOLEN AND YOU MUST RETURN IT BECAUSE I AM A BADASS MOTHERFUCKER WHO CAN SPEAK TO YOU WITHOUT BEING SEEEEEEEEN" or something to that effect.
Cool, I guess. But not as cool as killing some reptilian pirates!!!!!!!
Basically while I was in Solitude this scaley dude asked me if I wanted to make some cash. You might not know this (I mean, how would you, because I haven't told you yet but here I'll tell you now) but I'm trying to buy a house in Solitude for which I need money.....so a random job off the side of the street? NO PROBLEMO BRO.
It's a pretty skeezy job but - let's be honest here - I'm not a very honest person in this game (as my friend puts it....I'm a kleptomaniac and a big jerk because I interrupt people all the time). So here I am on the quest to put out the fire in the lighthouse so that this boat can run afoul after losing its way and WE swoop in and help them for which we will be rewarded kindly for! RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I come up to seeing THIS debauchery:
Which just happens to be the Reptile's bandits who KILLED everyone on the ship and took all the loot for themselves and DID NOT SAVE ANYONE. Brutal - right? So I am a little sad about it but I talk to one of them and they're like oh yeah, go talk to the Reptile's sister, Deeja, and she'll pay you for your hard work. I get down there and she's like "OH YES YOU WILL BE REWARDED............WITH AN ARROW TO THE KNEE!" Just kidding, it was more like a dagger to my ribcage so I was forced to KILL HER and all the other bandits and then find that ASSHOLE Reptile who swindled me!
So we get to go to this GROTTO which was, in all honesty, a pretty rad hideout for a bad guy. I would probably hide out in there too. It looked basically like an old boat hidden in a cave-made-into-a-home. SO, I stole all the bear pelts and took a bunch of potatoes and KILLED THE REPTILE.
I don't understand why people in this game keep thinking I'm feeble, as if I'm not going to come back and KICK THEIR ASSES.
No this is not a post about taking a 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes.
DO YOU REMEMBER when waaaaaaaaay back at the beginning of me playing this game and I was at a level 3 and hanging out in Whiterun and decided to join The Companions? But they asked me to clear out a cave of Falmers close to Whiterun and I was like CHYEAH! YOU KNOW IT! which is when I realized I was good at being stealthy but then realized it was only because the Falmers can't actually see anything so really I wasn't good at being stealthy at the time, only quiet? OH, and FALMERS were scary as hell (like literally...if I had ever seen hell...which I haven't....*knocks on wood*).
After gaining some experience and returning to Whiterun I decided hey - I'm close enough. Why not go to Shimmermist Cave and KILL THOSE GUYS. You might also remember the Chaurus...and how FREAKY those things are...and how I couldn't kill them.
WELL I'M A LEVEL 13 WOOD ELF BITCHES and I'm pretty much ready to kick their asses. I will NOT run out scared THIS TIME my scarab-ey little friends.
It's actually kind of fun to go back to something like that and see the improvement you've made not only as someone playing the game (like aiming the little pointer thing where the person/thing might actually die) but as my sweet little wood elf has grown into a woman wood elf who is now ACTUALLY stealthy and can kill things quickly and got through to the Chaurus in like a quarter of the time it took her initially because she is GOOD. SUP?!!
So I get to the very end where I see this Falmer guy with a hat and I'm like SWEET this is going to be EASY so I stealthily hit him and hide behind a pillar and he comes looking so I hit him again while I'm still sort of hit him and easily kill him and then I hear all of these cling clanging noises and OMG THIS THING COMES AT ME AND I DIE INSTANTANEOUSLY. RIGHT AWAY. NO TIME TO GASP.
CAN YOU SEE IT?!?!?! It's a huge mechanical DWARVEN CENTURION. like what the hell is that even? Don't ask me because I didn't even have time to BREATHE you guys (and gals). Thank goodness these bitches don't regenerate life because you know how I beat them? By RUNNING AWAY like I said I wouldn't but seriously - how else am I supposed to beat this mechanical wonder? As if I'm going to use all my potions. So I would hit him, run back until he couldn't tell I was still there, then slowly creep back and hit him again, until he was DEAD. So technically, I was using my stealthiness at its PRIME.
You can call me a coward all you want, but when a METALLIC GIANT is after your elven ass, and you confront it, and it kills you before you can let out a "OH SHIT"......you will do the same, I promise you that.
