Logical inconsistencies in Skyrim

[Dohva.]

Speaking of bandits walking around in mountains, how come frost damage can take out a dragon but Paarthy can live in the most freezing place in all Tamriel and survive? Makes no sense.

[Ebony Dragon]

Frost beats dragon because... I dunno, Pokemon logic?

Anyway, it confounds me how, in addition to being the only one to be able to absorb dragon souls, the Dragonborn is also the only person who knows how to jump in Skyrim.

Not true. You can actually witness NPCs jumping off ledges occasionally.

[Ebony Dragon]

I meant like actually jumping. Like, hitting Triangle on the PS3, or Y on the Xbox.

[legoless]

I guess normal people don't bunny hop all that often.

They can, I have seen a follower do it before, trying to reach my position.

Has anyone ever actually witnessed an NPC using their daily racial power? I've vever seen it once.If followers and boss characters utilized this the game would be more realistic.

no, and it bothers me quite a lot, we should see far more flaming Dunmer

i used to think Orcs used their berserk skill in Skyrim but come to think of it can't actually remember a specific instance where one has

I thought Orcs use their racial power. Whenever they perform a Power Attack my characters lost a lot of blood. Once in Cragslane Cave[?] ,the place with pit wolves, one of orc attendant that was equipped with elven sword, power attacked me. My Bosmer died instantly , and he was wearing heavy armor.

[DikaSmausha]

They don't. But that would be a great idea.

You can fix that with SkyRe - one module changes NPCs and the way they use their skills. They all use racial powers and are much smarter about using their gear and spells too. Which also means that you get killed much more often.

[MidbossVyers]

Using Turn Undead on sentient ghosts, such as Haknir's Crew, will cause them to talk big and ghostly whilst running away and cowering, due to lack of demoralized dialogue for ghosts.

[CBR JGWRR]

That's because you're meant to kill them not demoralise them.

Actually that's another logical inconsistency - you're supposed to be the hero, but there's no way to actually accept a surrender? All you can do is either run away from a panicking NPC or kill them - not very heroic.

[Crusader's Amour]

Do any enemies actually surrender for real? I was under the impression they'll always attack you again if you leave them long enough.

I love this mod!

Mods sure do fix a lot of logical inconsistencies... lol.

In the same way that fire can kill things even if they don't mind hot weather. It's magical frost - think bullets of liquid nitrogen piercing the dragon's torso.

I prefer to think that frost affects the mind - it's like the freezing adrenaline rush you get when you realize you got passed over for a promotion by an incompetent nitwit or that your ex wife didn't love you after all. Sucks all the stamina right outta ya.

You don't have to be the hero.

The option to spare a bandit pleading with for his life would have nice though.

Although the large hunks of ice sticking through your limbs probably aren't great for your heath either.

Unless you're drink a small red potion, then you're up and about in the span of three seconds after the yellow light swirls around you.

[Crusader's Amour]

For some reason if you have no allegiance in the war soldiers from both sides will let you take potions and whatnot from their camps. Don't they need those?
