Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[BillyG]

It's Elder Scrolls combat, improved but not nearly to anything resembling a "combat system." I want my fucking Kingdoms of Amalur already, looks like Elder Scrolls mixed with God of War.

Bought a horse last night. Then proceeded to go to the highest mountain I could find and jump off. RIP Clip Clop.

[B_Metal]

Hhahahaha, at least that's a fun death. My horses always jump right into battle and get in the way and I either accidentally kill them or they run off never to be found again. I pretty much walk or fast travel now.

[BillyG]

I only rode a horse once. Some random sell sword rode past me on the road at night, so I arrowed them in the back, stole the horse, then fought a bunch of skeletons where it died.

[Captain Russ]

Horses are the shit in this game. I got this one horse named Frost who trots like a boss across rivers, mountains, and even helps fight dragons when I fast travel to a shitty place.

He's a bro for life (until I get Shadowwhatshisface from the DB, at which point Frost will become glue so that my new horse and I can huff fumes and laugh and laugh).

[B_Metal]

I think all my horses are either Nord hating racists or cowards because they always run way the fuck away. Yet I've never had one moonwalking dragon. WTF

[Captain Russ]

Trust me, you want the dragons flying forwards. It's such a pain in the kiester to try and kill one that flies like that drunk clown in Rocketeer.

[B_Metal]

Oh I've seen the vids I just think it's weird I'm not having common issues but I have schizo horses.

[Captain Russ]

I think you're using the early horses that move slowly and have low HP. Get thee to Riften, help the guy out inside the inn there who asks you steal a horse from the Blackbriars, and keep it for yourself. Maybe Frost will stick with ya.

And yeah, I'm jealous of your non-glitched dragons. Can I borrow some?

[BillyG]

I really gotta play this more. I think Saturday I will be reacquainted with those racist Nord bastards.

[Abraham Smashington]

This should be a fun game to discuss on tomorrow's podcast.

[Captain Russ]

Warts and all, it's still a beautiful time sink.

[BillyG]

Really hope they hire someone that makes action games for the next game. I still end up turning down difficulty so the exploration and questing isn't bothered by the combat.

[B_Metal]

There is some great exploration to be had that's for sure.

[Captain Russ]

That's kinda why I love these games. Fallout's combat isn't mindblowing either.

Immersion like no other, brahs.
