Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

F5. Unhinged chaos. F9. Whistling.

He talked shit to me so I decided to bitch slap him. Maidenless indeed!

Then he proceeded to give me a masterclass in getting my ass whooped. Repeatedly. Until I started a new fucking game because I couldn't leave without him following me and beating the hell out of me.

Is this J.D.Vances latest incarnation?

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

Did he even say "thank you"?

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

The main reason I don't want the Oblivion remake

I walked out of that door, saw that smug face, and then he called me maidenless? Yeah, he was first against the wall.

Poor fella was always trying to help the poor tarnished. They never would have gotten to the throne if he hadn't so kindly pointed them towards the giant castle looming overhead.

I'm fairly convinced Varre is the one who killed our absent maiden.

[–] GoodLuckToFriends@lemmy.today 1 points 6 days ago

Slander! No one who talked so gently and called me lambkin would ever do such a thing! Especially not by conspiring with a fair bodyless maiden, as some so imply.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

Just mess them up and reload. It's fine.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Phew, I'm glad this just applies to in-game npcs

On my first playthrough he gives of the vibe. This guy is going to backstab me so I killed him right after talking to him. Later on I learned this guy does backstab me who knew.

Maturity is invading the First Step and getting the host to aggro Varre trying to hit you. Bonus points if you can get them to aggro Kale.

Unless it's Nazeem. Every rule has exceptions.

[–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I find it funnier to stealthily cast fury on him.

I once made it a goal to do the entire dark brotherhood line doing that, it was amazing, especially the wedding

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Fuck, that's brilliant! Damn you for tempting me into yet another round of Skyrim.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Illusion is hilariously overpowered and underrated in that game (once its leveled up higher). I rushed max pickpocketing, then pickpocketed back the money from the illusion trainer at the college.

Theres also invisibility and dagger fighting; holding invis without releasing it makes it trigger after you swing

Meanwhile, in Morrowind you can just enchant a dagger to cast invisibility on strike all by itself. (Not sure if that's still possible in the newer games or not.)

Since I'm still in the midst of an Oblivion Remastered run, do you have any equally broken and/or diabolic suggestions for that one?

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Never played it, sorry! Burnt myself out playing bethesda games and their general jankiness over the years

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Maturity is following their quest to the end, so you can kill them after they've learned that they are a failure who's left to die by their lord.

Talk shit get hit (with a fireball).

[–] MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Real world me is very nice. I go out of my way to help strangers all the time and only resort to violence as a last resort.

Video game me is Satan on wheels. I'll kill a mf just for looking at me wrong.

My mortality in video games waivers all the way from stopping at traffic lights to modding in God Mode to going HAM on every NPC within firing distance. It all depends on how my day has been.
