    What did you name your Skyrim character?

    I've stuck with the same fantasy name that I've had for eleven years ever since I started role-playing. Rudger Heldorf, a Nord. Rudger was the name of me and my friend's favourite character from a Sega Saturn game called Dragon Force. Heldorf is just Helsing (As in Van Helsing) and Altdorf...

    About The Elder Scrolls 6...

    Just had a thought. Seeing as Elsweyr have recently broken away from the Empire, maybe the Imperials could do something along the lines of funding rebels or whatever who want to return to the Empire, and then the Elves would fund those who want things to stay as they are, thereby causing a proxy...

    Why do you suppose Canada is never a civilation choice in the Civilation games?

    I haven't read most of the topic, but I do know the Canadians were the only ones to achieve all of their objectives in time during the D-Day landings. Yay Canada.

    Skyrim has had no glitches or crashes for me yet, and I love the UI.

    Playing on the PC. Very minor glitches and no crashes after 22 hours of gameplay. And I don't mind the UI because I just man-up and get on with it.

    Poll: Is featuring rape in a game going too far?

    Doesn't Japan have a pretty low rate of rape compared to quite a few Western countries (including the US and UK)? Just popping that in there. Bye.

    Skyrim: A question about campions (people who tag along, not the guild)

    I've had Lydia following me around for a while now (the housecarl from Whiterun) and it seems that she can't die, but just gets knocked over for a while. Can't speak for other companioms though.

    Skyrim PC Box sucks.

    If the only complaint a game has is that it's box art is a little sub-par, then I'd say the game is doing pretty aokay in my books.

    Skyrim: mods of the future!

    I'd like to see a mod that gradually makes the snow and cold conditions have an effect on your character after prolonged exposure, getting worse and worse over time. Because I'm a bit sad like that. EDIT: And one that'll make Giants my friends. Because I don't understand why they won't...

    Skyrim: Any Tricks, Cheats, or Just Advice?

    That thing was level 29? I didn't even notice. I must have been level 10 or close to it. The thing just stood at the the edge of a slight ledge, flailing its arms and throwing rude comments at me, while Lydia and I picked at it with arrows for a while.

    Skyrim = Overhyped?

    Wait...are you telling me that the loading screen lied? It'll rue the day! But yeah, from videos I've seen of them they did look a bit sluggish, but I had assumed that they'd actually "feel" faster than they looked. A shame to know they don't (didn't know that Shadowmere was back in it...

    Skyrim: Disappointed in the Dragons

    I seem to have the opposite problem. Far from ignoring me, it feels as if every dragon in Skyrim has singled me out. Like they all had a big meeting with my face on a massive poster and said "This guy is a fuggin' dick. Kill his arse." I've literally been in situations where there were no...

    Skyrim = Overhyped?

    I don't know about anyone else, but I keep forgetting that dragons can pop-up (or down as it were) at any moment, thereby causing me much surprise/terror every time I hear them and momentarily think "What the crap was that?" This somehow makes it consistently fun, as I'm not always on edge about...

    Are Australian spiders really that big?

    Being from the UK, the biggest spider I can expect is probably around 2cm (body size), and unless some forig spider hitches a ride into town nothing venomous. So you may be able understand my reluctance. Yay for living in mild, temperate countries.

    Can Haters shut up about Call of Duty?

    Wait...MW3 is out? I didn't even notice. Too busy waiting for the grass to grow.

    Poll: Poll: How much did you care about Oblivion's main questline, and will you care about Skyrim's?

    I finished the Oblivion main quest, but only because it brought me closer to Sean Bean <3
