    First Person: Skyrim is Soulless

    It would seem to me that the fact that you found yourself unable to steal from this woman even though there was no game mechanic keeping you from doing so would demonstrate the incredible soul of the game. You found a reason to care about someone, and become interested in their life and...

    Compare the imagery of romance novel book covers to religious art. Hilarious and kind of weird if you notice all the adoration going on.

    Poll: Top or Bottom?

    Top. I really enjoy vaulting down in the morning. Great way to start the day- with overwrought acrobatics. But really- either way.
