Steam has Skyrim for 50% off. THis is whay I have been waiting for. Since i was rather frugal at Oshkosh Airventure, only eating out twice and paying once, and not buying a lot of stuff...I bought it. Thus ending much of a life I had.
It is strange that a game so similar to fallout all of a sudden goes so main stream as a fantasy genre, but yet most never bothered with fallout. There are so many "Arrow in the knee" jokes or "Fus-ro-da" jokes. But nothing really fallout related.
I never even bothered with the Elder Scrolls series since I was more into Sci-i then fantasy. So i decided to jump in and see what it was all about, and try to avoid guides and walkthroughs.
So i start as usuall running around in a panic at the opening. Since i liked a lot of stealthy sniping in Fallout I choose a Khajiit, I also like cats. Kind of lost as what to do. But soon grab a mace, and don some Imperial armor, and ooh look a nice shiney Imperial officers helm.
On the way to rivenfell I run into a hunter with a dog chasing a fox with a bow. I know this because i end up having a fox try to run me over with an arrow sticking out of it. As the fox passes I swing my mace and fell it. Thankfully i was able to still unload some of my loot onto the hunter for some gold.
When I make it to rivenfell I stop in at the Trader and hear about his missing Golden CLaw. Sounds simple enough. Take on a few bandits, retrieve the claw, get the princess. Wrong,.... OH SO WRONG.
As i head towards
Bleak Falls Barrow. I run into some badits, just what I expected. They end up making a satisfying thump and I go into the barrow. At this point since I see the otehr badits inside a bit further I decide to sneak in and maybe snipe with my bow. Little do I know i need to hold down the stupid mouse button to launch the arrow. thump... thump OH NO THEY ARE COMING AFTER ME!!
