So that is my posse; Mauga, her wife Mjoll the Lioness, a "pet" Riekling warrior, & a spectral assassin bound to my will. Not pictured is my horse Shadowmere, who goes berserk all the time & tries to kill everything, even if I'm in the middle of trying to pick their pockets. Mjoll is kitted out in Daedric Armor, as you can see, which I made for her as a wedding present; the goblin is similarly equipped with Daedric arrows, which he uses as spears. I rounded up my hard crew to run roughshod over the Ebony Warrior. See, in the last downloadable content they added a "super tough" challenge; if you are level 80 or 81 (it doesn't go higher than 81) the Ebony Warrior will show up in White Run to challenge you to a duel, if you find him high in the mountains. Heck yeah I will! He's all "I've done all the quests, killed all the monsters," & I'm like "I know that feel, bro." Anyhow, he's supposed to be an epic challenge, with even badass players having to fight him a couple of times before winning but...I didn't experience that. I picked his pocket first, until his noticed me, then I equipped my Dragonbone Mace, put the healing spell that heals me & those around me at the ready, poured some paralysis poison that I'd alchemically prepared on my weapon, used the Dragon Aspect shout-- feel my Thu'um dude-- & used Orc Rage. I hit him...maybe three or four times? The whole fight was over in ten seconds tops. I think I broke
Skyrim. I mean, to get to level 80 you kind of have to have, though. I guess I was hoping for more of a challenge, but I'm perfectly happy having bragging rights, too.
