Nice to have you back UZworm. Glad you're feeling much better. Are you up to LPing this maddening game? Maybe you should spend a few moments bashing Sven's skull in before proceeding.

 NEW UPDATE! The LP is finally back in full! Let's Play Skyrim Episode 12: Mr. Puffles' Wall of Text I honestly don't know if this is the best video in the LP or the worst video in the LP. Festivore, Iron Chitlin and Loco are causing horrible bouts of madness. I sing multiple songs from Mr. Puffles' hit album, Jora (one on purpose!). We learn the technical medical term "smokehole". To be fair, we had to delve into madness to stave off all this loving dialogue.

Mr Puffles once got tricked by three goats when he tried to extort them when crossing a bridge. You can also shout at rains of fire to stop. Such as in the beginning of the game when Alduin shows up and ruins your execution. If you had the shout at that point of course.

Fun fact, first time I got to this segment, I somehow managed to get my arrow to point me to Paarthurnax without first going through the greybeards. With a mild bit of cold resistance, I was able to get up the mountain without any damage and occasionally stumbling, only to be rewarded with an invincible dragon that I couldn't kill. Glad to have your angelic voice back, UZWorm. Ramos fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Dec 12, 2016 |

A McGuffin has no purpose to the narrative other than to cause characters to do things because of it. The Elder Scroll in this game isn't a McGuffin because it is actually used for something. If the pursuit of the Scroll was used to advance the plot without it ever being used for anything then it'd merely be a plot device.

In my defense, my complaint was lodged more against the way he was written, rather than the voice actor himself. The way they constantly interject dragon language and then explain what the word means with the very next word is just beyond pointless. To say nothing of the way the conversation itself drones on for about 8 minutes longer than it needs to. Also who is Charles Martinet and why should I care?

It's a tired fantasy trope that really has no business in anything anymore. It's okay to not understand every single word, guys. That's what context clues are for.

You know what we haven't had in here in a bit? A good old fashioned thread vote! And since we've now met Paarthurnax I think this one is obvious. A bit later into the game, we're going to be presented with a choice. Kill Paarthurnax or Don't kill Paarthurnax. We're going to piss off either the Blades or the Greybeards depending on our choice there, so choose wisely. But vote on whether you want our new droning dragon friend to stay alive or you want his skull to meet Mr. Puffles' hammer. Also yes, even though it does make a few appearances in Skyrim it is pretty lame that Skooma is literally just a low-grade stamina potion with no ill side effects to it if you take it.

I say you kill him. Skyrim is supposed to be about killing dragons, and Paarthurnax is a dragon. It's an easy choice.

Don't Kill him. He sounds extremely old and god only knows how much health he must have. He'd probably be worse than that frost troll. It's not worth it.

I'm voting for Don't Kill. The blades are way less cool in this game and I wish they weren't essential so you could kill them for being so annoying.

I didn't really like the Blades in Oblivion, and I definitely don't like them here. Let the scaly flying ent live. Just don't talk to him.

Don't Kill Him. In fact I think you don't even have to make the decision if you complete the Civil War.Tiggum posted:I have played far enough into this game to get it but I don't remember what it does at all, so what does it do? You use it so you can look back in time and learn Dragonrend.

Let Paarthunax live because he is awesome and the personality and speech quirks are part of his charm. I also felt really awful after I killed him once I got back to High Hrothgar and had to endure Arngeir bawling me out for what I did.

Talking to Esburn will give you the quest regardless of whether or not Season Unending happened. In other news, if anyone wants me to kill him you need to chime in, Don't is winning by a landslide right now! And in other other news, anyone who has been waiting for horrible, crippling bugs to hit my playthrough is going to LOVE video 15.

I'm catching up on this LP bit by bit. I'm watching Mr. Puffles die repeatedly to a frost troll and my reaction is WHY ARE THOSE ARROWS NOT POISONED  Seriously, you picked the worst possible way to kill the drat thing. I'm playing a dark elf mage right now and she just roasts those sumbitches with fire magic while sculling magicka potions.

Don't kill him. Also, he glitched out on me too, but kept talking. However I could only hear every few words, because when he spazzed out he went all over the place. Nothing stops him from talking, not even glitches.
