Re: Your Last Meal.

Re: Children?

I can just see the conservatives sparking an outcry "Oh Noes! TESV is a kiddy killing simulator!"

So unfortunately, I don't think they'll have killable kids in it. Personally, I wouldn't miss them if they weren't in it at all.
Actually, I'm quite conservative and I wouldn't say that at all. It's ...

Re: Music that could be about Skyrim?

I think some good Odinist rock would suit Skyrim well.

Weird Crash

After the wife and kids and I got settled into our new digs, I began leafing through some boxes from my Mother's house and found my old copy of Morrowind (non-GOTY, yes, that old) for PC. Success! Or so I thought. I used to be able to run the game just fine when I had XP, but not on Vista. I can ...

Re: Races in Skyrim

Seeing how the Western Reach is a contested area between Skyrim and High Rock, it would nice to see some Reachmen. It will also be interesting to see if the Greybeards make an appearance.

Re: I can't change the difficulty on my game...

I had a similar problem when I had my 360 as I couldn't save any audio changes, they just kept resetting. I had to do a "hard delete" of my character, which means I went through the 360 main screen and manually deleted the data and recreated a character. Worked just fine after that. Not sure if it ...

Re: Oblivion etymology

I had always assumed that Skyrim came from the Giant Skrymir of Norse Mythology, who transformed himself into Utgarda-Loki and tricked Thor. Also Ruma was the Etruscan (Maxl Rasnal) name for Rome (Roma).

Great job and great list.

Yes. A rag-tag army of slaves and Nordic warriors (and a coupl'a demigods) defeated them soundly, why not a well polished and well equipped military?

I vote Ayleidoon. City state formation, magically powerful. Not on the list though would be the Left-Handed Elves of Yokuda as squat is known of them, except that the Redguards found them formidable.

Re: Norse influence of TES lore

Good job in pointing out the Norse influence. Look at King Harald Hairy-breeks. Easily based off of Harald Finehair who did in fact unite Norway under one banner (his, or course), as well as Ragnar Lothbrok, a semi-legendary king, Lothbrok meaning "Hairy-legs". I didn't see just how influnced the ...

Not so much a glitch, but an odd random happening. When I had my 360 and was playing Oblivion on it, outside of Bruma I found a doe rooting in the ground. Apparently the game had "stuck" as I could approach the deer and it wouldn't run, and was stuck rooting in the ground. After about 20 seconds, no ...

I say conjuration. I've never found summons terribly effective, and since conjuration has no other applications.

I have to agree. Expensive spells that to me aren't worth the cost. Turn undead spells are only marginally effective as they give you time to run, but that's about it. Another one ...
