We got a copy of Skyrim earlier in the month: Tilmani and I both have characters, though he's played more than I have... which lead to the interesting discovery that inspired the title.
Hagravens in Skyrim, if you don't know, are pretty much exactly what they sound like. Part Hag, part Raven, and they're generally unpleasant characters, as probably anyone would be if you looked wrinkled, bent, grouchy and feathered. Anyway, Tilmani's character... named Tilmani, got drunk, and apparently one of the things he did while drunk was go get a wedding ring and propose to this delightful woman he'd met while smashed out of his mind. The jeweler was happy to inform us how he'd described the most ROMANTIC of evenings in the moonlight, and let us know she'd take the ring back if we weren't engaged, but sounded a bit less than approving that he didn't seem to remember any of this. ((Surprise surprise.))
So we cruise around for a while and he finally gets around to finding out who he went and got engaged to while drunk and when we get to the area, the lovely beautious lady is... a HagRaven.
A Hagraven who is VERY. VERY. Angry when asked to return the ring (the only option the game gives you on this front... sadly... otherwise I think this could be kind of awesome.) And she attacks on the spot. Tilmani won, though since he'd JUST been fighting a equally angry dragon (maybe it knew the Hagraven?), it was a little on the close side. Don't know where the rest of this particular quest will go but that was a rather funny discovery.
So yeah apparently HagRavens don't handle rejection well. Sorry lady.
I am shit at role playing games like Skyrim. I tried playing Grand Theft Auto 4 and always drove within the speed limit, stopped at red lights, had a job as a taxi driver and took my girlfriend to the pub to play darts. It was pretty much like my real life.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't done GTA in this house, but my ex used to play it. I hated that game. I guess it was probably a sign that I knew something was really wrong with the relationship that I got that annoyed about him pick up in-game hookers. Stopping at the red lights sounds like kind of an entertainingly counterintuative way to go about the game though. Kind of like my husband deliberately baiting the guards in Assassins Creed.
