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.

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 :gonk: 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.

Would you rather the game be played competently or by UZworm? The two seem to be mutually exclusive.

LOL hear that, UZworm? You suck, apparently.


I'm debating if I should restart my Morrowind screenshot LP or start it over with video. The thing that killed it for me was playing with the Atronach sign; if I start over I will NOT play Atronach and just take my chances with base magic resistance.

*UZworm and company giggling about Falmer earwax*

You guys laugh at the stupidest poo poo. Also, Mr. Puffles is badly in need of Heavy Armour skill, resist potions and resist enchantments to keep the Falmer and Dwemer automatons from putting the hurt on him. Fortify Carry Weight wouldn't hurt either.

Two of the best glitches I had were a good chunk of the ground going missing inside Whiterun, which allowed me to jump down onto the overworld terrain underneath and go crawling around under the city, and a HUGE section of ground and cliffside going missing in Solitude which actually allowed me to get at the merchants' chests. This was on PS3, mind you, which means the merchants' stuff is usually completely inaccessible.

Maridia's quest is indeed terrible (or however you spell her name). Same linear corridors as usual but all enemies are stuck at level 1 and die in one hit except for the last guy who is a higher-level-than-you mage with a ton of mana and area spells. It also has annoying unskippable dialog with someone who just goes on for way too long, as usual.

Try beating Malkoran with a Dunmer mage (negligible frost resistance yay) with Lydia pulling aggro for you and then tell me how bad you had it, scrub.

The quest reward - Dawnbreaker - is well worth the trouble, though, since it is ridiculously overpowered in the early game. Ditto with Mephala's quest.

Lydia is terrible, why are you bringing her? Always bring awesome :drac:waifu instead.

Also why are you complaining as a dunmer, you have resistance against his fireballs (if he decides to cast those instead of ice storm). :colbert:

1. Because Avunsea (my Dunmer) hasn't met her yet. Also Serana is stuck physically and emotionally a teenager after she not-entirely-consensually had vampirism screwed into her; she is not yours, my, or anyone else's goddamn waifu. :colbert: I'm pretty sure Bethesda made her unmarriageable for exactly that reason.* I did Meridia's quest early in the game. while I was mopping up side quests from Whiterun because sidequests are my jam and stop looking at me like that.

2. HE NEVER EVER loving USES ANYTHING OTHER THAN ICE SPELLS. THAT'S WHY I'M COMPLAINING, YOU NINCOMPOOP.


*if a 'Dragonborn and Serana, sitting in a tree' mod exists (and my experience with modding communities tells me it probably does), does it use dummied out dialogue recorded just for modders, like the dying children thing? If it does, I feel so, so sorry for Laura Bailey right now.

He's killed me with fire spells. :saddowns: Could be from SPERG maybe? :supaburn:

Rikke: I'm telling you, General, the necromancer can use fire spells.
Tullius: He'd be insane to try. The character's a dark elf.
Rikke: That's not what the Goons report, sir. SPERG can have unexpected effects on a custom virtual environment.
Tullius: It's not a virtual environment. It's a game.
Rikke: Call it what you like, General, they made something happen down in that ruin.
Tullius: The Steam Workshop...
Rikke: The Steam Workshop doesn't take any responsibility for any character behaviour changes in Skyrim.
Tullius: You people and your drat mods.

I don't see how Skyrim is repetitive unless you're constantly spelunking or doing bandit raids. I'm in Solstheim at the moment (went there after giving the Horn to Arngeir, just to shake things up a bit) and things have just been crazy story wise.

edit: unless you think mowing down waves of monsters is boring, in which case just turn up the difficulty

I don't even know what the story is most of the time. I know the broad strokes, but it all boils down to "go to a place, kill a bunch of dudes, take a thing" and there's not really any variety to any of it. It really doesn't matter which particular quest you're doing, it's just more of the same. It's OK when you're still getting new spells and stuff, but that's just a tiny fraction of how long it would take to actually do everything.

It seems to me like RPGs aren't your speed, then. If you can't be bothered to listen to the dialogue, read the in-game books and solicit background information from NPCs or even just find other stuff to do in the open world (sometimes I eschew fast travel for long horse rides that allow me to admire the scenery) maybe you should just toss your copy of Skyrim and go play a linear FPS or simulator instead.

Casting my vote for Windstad. Mr. Puffles isn't going to adopt, is he?

Even Vivec rewrote his own backstory to get it on with Bal.

loving Elder Scrolls lore, man. It's crazy, crazy poo poo, but when you realize CHIM is just 'Vivec and company know they're characters in a video game and rewrote it from the inside to make themselves gods', it actually makes quite a bit of sense.

Episode 26 - Mr. Puffles Reads Some Scrolls

We're getting fairly close to the end of Dawnguard here with some scroll reading action. Action packed, I say.

If you like Chamillionaire you'll probably like this video.

Goddess's panties, UZworm, have you not heard of the Clairvoyance spell? You know, the seemingly useless spell that actually helps you find the correct path to a quest location instead of you having to scale mountains and leap off rocks (as fun as that can be)?

Episode 31 - Ms. Puffles Saves the Children

We're doing the Dark Brotherhood, and we've got a new character to undertake it because holy poo poo would Mr. Puffles be bad at this.

1. The pickpocket trainer is in Windhelm, not Whiterun. Her name is Silda the Unseen.
2. Astrid's dagger is the Blade of Woe, which is also the dagger Lucien Lachance gives you in Oblivion.

Episode 32 - Ms. Puffles Kills the Homeless

Having a job sucks! But I'm finally back with another update. Maybe there will be more. Stay tuned :o :o :o

Am I the only one who thinks Astrid is sexy? Fun fact: Cindy Robinson also voiced Gwen McNamara in Fallout 4.

Also, you dickheads were talking over Babette's kickass story where she eats a child molester. Could you not shut up for five minutes?
