Creepy Skyrim Serial Killer Keeps Heads on Shelves

[Razmas]

Dexter, Dexter! Where th fuck are you? We need you NOW!

 

[scoopz]

Wait. Is there a specific way you need to attack/land a final blow on someone to decapitate them? i.e. Power attacks only result in decapitation?

There is a perk that makes your power strikes decapitate your enemy.

Ah. Yes. I have the perk I was just wondering if there was some extra step I was missing to make decapitation happen everytime.

 

[JokerboyJordan]

Hah!
I fucking called it!

This game lets you decapitate innocent people and carry their heads with you to store in your home where your thane (Edit: Housecarl) is honour-bound to stay with the faces of their dead friends and relatives watching them from the walls to which you have crudely nailed their heads with arrows, but when you complain that there being immortal characters in the game feels odd and artificial the answer is "You can't have the option to kill children. That's just disturbing."
Fuck off, I'm not buying it.

I was just thinking the same thing and wondering whether it was you who made the video

This is less disturbing than a child being killed in a dragon attack.
Not to mention children dying because of careless fireballs from the player.

That's just sick.

A child dying in a dragon attack is sad, not sick, it's a wild animal (ok, a rather intelligent, if evil animal) attacking indiscriminately, its no different from a childbeing hit by a car, or attacked by wolves.

in the case of a fireball, why the hell is a child dicking about near an enemy anyway?

plus, 90% of the kids in skyrim are annoying, disrespectful shits anyway.
"Another one come to lick the boots of my father" "oh, you must be a servant, I want my meat rare" "WHERE IS MY DRESS? I WANT MY DRESS NOW!" "Boys, girls, dogs, elders, there's nobody I wont fight!" "I wouldn't have to keep beating him up if he admitted he likes me
"
And a fair few are teetering on the evil sides of their moral compasses already
"Yay! grelod's dead!" "Thank you dark brotherhood!" "When I grow up, I want to be an assasin too!", and of course not forgetting the one who actually obtained human flesh, bones, and organs, and preformed a dark ritual to hire an assasin.

in the case of the last few, the idea that THEY are immortal is actually rather terrifying...

 

[Worgen]

My main question is he he gets any of those things to stay where they are, I still cant keep my damn orc dagger on my kitchen table with out finding it flung across the room when I come back into my house.

 

[4RM3D]

Someone should tell this guy there is a nude mod for Skyrim. That would complete the whole (disturbing) picture.

 

[Ickabod]

Not Lydia! Nnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...................

 

[Sam Vimes]

Tonight's the night. And it's going to happen, again and again. It has to happen.

 

[Distorted Stu]

Thanks for the idea! I fucking love slow-mo decapation! Now i will prize each one

Forgive my pretentiousness, I don't even have the perk myself. I figured that a power attack just lopped off their heads.
For both our sakes, I took the time to look it up, and here's what I got:
Standing power attacks do 25% bonus damage with a chance to decapitate your enemies

So, by doing a power attack that isn't being influenced in any direction, you get a chance at cutting the motha-fucker's head off.

You are right, it most certainly is.

Good job I saved the kids in one of my games from a horrible death like those you mentioned by putting them into a peaceful sleep ..... with my axes.

I see you didn't detect my biting sarcasm. I'll make it clearer next time.

For a moment there, so did we...

Nah, that's far too much work. We might've done it if we was allowed to carry heads in our inventory though.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

That was beautiful.

I now have a new hobby to take up.

Thank you, Escapist News!

 

[Xan Krieger]

That's one of the first things I've seen in these games that has really made me nervous.

...And I've played some crazy roles in Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim...

At least nothing like this has shown up with the child mod activated.

Thanks for the idea, I just would need to learn how to make a video.

 

[Luke5515]

What scares me the most is the title of the video.
Oh god

 

[Ruwrak]

Skyrim is now well-recognized as the pinnacle in open-ended and emergent gameplay.

Oh for...

Let's try that again...

Skyrim is now well-recognized as the pinnacle in a good example of open-ended and emergent gameplay.

There. Now doesn't that read more like a news article and less like fanboy fuelled overstatement?

I don't think I can name any other game that would give you the freedom to put your peoples decapitated heads on a shelve and position their Bodies a-la Shazsh (or whatever the blip his name is.)

Yes, because THAT will go over well around here.

I decorated my house with that butterfly in a jar i found...dont judge me.
