Every time I reread this comic because I'm bored at work I discover something new in the Kvatch flash. How I went through it three times without discovering the dance-off is beyond me.

TES uses the pretext of "vampire clans" to explain away having completely different game mechanics for vampirism in each game.

And then they ignore all that and make Skyrim vampires boring and same-y instead of the kickass frozen-lake dwelling beings that can travel through solid ice that books in morrowind said they would be.

Someone hasn't played Dawnguard yet.

I have. Calling them same-y isn't true I guess, but they certainly aren't what you'd expect them to be based on the lore presented in previous games (and are significantly lamer than what they could have been).

I wonder just how much you'd have to tweak it to get authentic sounding procedural dialogue. Like if you would have to include tags for verbose characters, or parts where catchphrases could be added in.

That would be pretty cool if there was a line where a character could decide to use a catchphrase more and that was added to their dialogue as a verbal tic.

I really want to try writing something like this now. Though I think you'd probably have to have a pretty rigidly structured and/or linear story to build it around.

Computer-produced speech is one of those things that's perpetually 20 years away. Word substitutions is basically the best you can do without a strong linguistics background, and even with that, doing anything more advanced is incredibly tricky.

Ketchup is fine, but tomatoes will never not be gross.

Finally, someone who gets it. I swear 2/3 of everything in every restaurant has tomatoes in it.

So what I got from that was that it's now canon that Katia is terrible at jumping with the right timing.

I have never successfully solved one of these stupid things without hints in my life.

Oh dear god shut up.

How dare Kazerad tell the story people have been talking about for two pages! The nerve of some people!

Katia did just destroy the shop's attic, so I don't think the rewards will exactly be flowing in.

Is that even really possible? Sigrid seems to have the whole overpowered player character thing locked up tight, the best Katia can hope for is a low tier NPC.

Sigrid is an actual NPC in oblivion. She's a random NPC in the Kvatch refugee camp.

So what you're saying is that the last time you saw a cat, you updated?
