    Role-playing a pacifist in Skyrim Special Edition

    I considered that. However it felt like I was not supposed to because using magic would somewhat break the rogue/thief archetype I am playing. Then again I am not role-playing a stereotypical thief in terms of gameplay so that does sound like fair game. I might consider it if this current build...

    Your favourite towns in an Elder Scrolls game

    Riften. I got the Legendary edition when Skyrim debuted on 11/11/11, and seeing the concept art of Riften followed by actually being in it, as well as the incessant corruption of it where the Black-Briar's and the Thieves Guild run things, it's a fantasy nirvana. Also the cool waterways are...

    Role-playing a pacifist in Skyrim Special Edition

    So yesterday after contemplating which of the three basic forms of combat to grind through again, I decided I would try my hand at something I've been wondering if it's possible to do: Get through the game without killing, engaging in combat, preferring noncombat skills, etc. I came up with...

    Help me "failure-proof" my PC

    So my main goal upon turning 25 years old (tomorrow) is self-preservation, and that includes all of my possessions. So after taking care of boring stuff like being financially secure and in good physical health, my next priority is to safeguard my electronics in case of failure and/or theft...

    Dark Souls 3 hype thread!

    Wow, you just gave me an awesome idea. In Oblivion, I ha my own dynasty/lineage of magic-focused characters called Hypermauge I,II, etc. In the Souls games, straight swords were always my primary choice, specifically the Longsword, Claymore, and Zweihander. Perhaps I shall try it this time...

    Dark Souls 3 hype thread!

    Ditto. Everyone should hop onto that group because I, and hopefully others, will be lighting the chat on fire as we get through the game, posting tips and secrets we find, possibles boss strategies, and very importantly, build suggestions. I think that with each Souls game the community...

    When a game doesn't facilitate your specific play style (Skyrim)

    In case anyone was wondering, I remade the mage character and focused only on Destruction and Restoration. It DID work most of the game, but goddamnit it still failed me against dragons because I would exhaust all my magic healing myself. Or when I went up against a horde of enemy mages, they...

    Who did you most enjoy killing in a game?

    In Skyrim, when... I seriously wish there was a dialogue option telling her she was a spiteful ***** before you gave her the last shanking.

    Non-canon stuff you liked more than canon?

    I'll throw another one on the pile and nominate Knights of the Old Republic, specifically EVERYTHING in 2. For fuck's sake, how the hell did a game where the Force was deconstructed to the goddamn core as well as redefining what a Jedi is in the finale not overthrow the established canon up...

    Old jokes to quit using

    "I used to be [blank], but then I [blank]." Seriously, I didn't even think it was a memorable line when Skyrim actually came out, yet everyone jumped on that shit like it was the next big fountain of creativity. On the other side of the fence, jokes that I hope will NEVER go out of style...

    When a game doesn't facilitate your specific play style (Skyrim)

    @ Here Comes Tomorrow and badude1337, yes I am playing Skyrim Legendary Edition on PS3. Honestly it's disheartening to always hear "yeah the mods will fix that little gripe with the game". I know pretty much every large scale game like Skyrim can be improved upon by the modding community, but...

    When a game doesn't facilitate your specific play style (Skyrim)

    I've been playing Skyrim again nonstop for the past two weeks, and since the beginning I was determined to focus on mastering Conjuration and Restoration as my main playstyle, expecting to be able to get through the game. Unfortunately as encounters were becoming more and more grueling I slowly...

    Dark Souls is awesome! (Yes, I know I'm late to the party)

    Fun fact: I haven't beat Demon's or Dark Souls in NG+ but I have beaten Dark Souls 2 in NG+. I don't know if that's a compliment or indicative of the game's quality when I was able to beat NG+ with the EXACT SAME WEAPONS and occasional buffing when I realized "Oh, this boss has much more health...
