and you’re pants!
Oh I really want to pick this game up! I’ve heard nothing but good things. Great strip Scott! Can’t wait to hear your review on Final Score!
AWESOME! I hated Oblivion and gave it to Brian, but I loving Skyrim so far. Took down some witches today.
Skyrim is AMAZING I can not stop playing.
I am playing as a Nord Ranger. Light armored, great with a bow, a sword and shield, and with good alchemy. I use no magic other than my shouts.
How is everyone else playing?
Hilarious comment. Because it’s so relevant.
@CDRaff: I’m playing Heavy Armor, 1h weapon, Restoration spells in the off-hand (no Destruction for me) and quite proficient with the Bow. Nord as well.
I can’t believe i never heard of Skyrim or Elder Scrolls till the 10th!!!! It’s my perfect game! Vikings, Alaska & Dragons!!!!!!! Nice comic, Scott!
I’m about 20 hours in, playing a Nord Bow wielding, flame throwing, sneaking backstabber. Although, it still plays very similar to Oblivion and FO3/NV. I don’t really see any more freedom in this then I do the previous games.
There’s nothing quite like the squishy feeling of Skyrim in the morning.
Scott dropping the ‘S’ bomb…. Always a pleasure
Another good strip—made me laugh!
I haven’t seen Skyrim’s predecessors, but yesterday I watched our guitarist playing it. I’m stunned by the level of detail and the forest (or rather constellations) of variables.
If I ever pick up that controller, I know it’ll eat a big section of my waking time. Heh heh.
Oh man this was great Scott. Looks like your really getting into Skyrim, that’s awesome. So would you rate this higher than your Uncharted 3 as being game of the year for you?
Never played the other Elder Scrolls game, but Skyrim is quite fun.
I’m a level 10 imperial who runs with Shield & Mace for the most part, uses dual magic a good amount of the time, sneaks with Bow an Arrow when needed, and punches chickens to death because it’s really funny.
… No, seriously, you can finally be Steven Seagal in a video game.
I do find the story a bit lacking.
I play as one of them cats. Always carrying too many weapons as I’ve got no decent place to store them. Usually axe and shield, but not afraid of frying me some bandit meat.
Anyone know how to harvest human meat ? I am afraid I might start to like it if I taste a bit more. Sneaking we do of course, wouldn’t be a cat if we didn’t now ?
Then again interesting/weird stuff does happen, like that time I got drunk at the inn in Whiterun and suddenly woke up only to discover that I’m supposed to get married …
Did I mention I hate spiders ?
Can you do that in Skyrim?! In your pants?! I have GOT to get this game! (and if you can’t, they SO need to make a game where you can)!
Here is a game about not shitting you pants. http://www.kongregate.com/games/Rete/dont-shit-your-pants
ROFL
I decided to buy this game solely because of this comic and the way you’ve been talking about the game. Now I just have to find time to actually play it. Too many games!
Minecraft lets you kill with swords, kill with fire, kill villagers, kill a dragon with an axe, and has a fully destructable world
I think that Saints Row the Third gives you more freedom.
In Saints Row the Third I can drop kick people as a toilet, drive around in an Atari 2600 tank that fires grey pixels, go streaking, car surf, jet surf, take on an entire army with nothing but my fists, dive feet first through a cars’ winshield/side window to kick out the driver and or passengers, get plastic surgery to increase/decrease my crotch/breast size as well as give myself one of seven different voices-one being a zombie-, put whitewall tired on literally EVERYTHING that’s not a tank or a motorcycle, drive a car down busy streets with an angry tiger in the backseat clawing at me to increase my courage, collect blowup dolls, drive down the street listening to the Venture Brothers theme song, beat people up with a giant purple dildo, basejump, have midair firefights, and all other sorts of crap I haven’t discovered yet.
Sure … but Skyrim’s world is huge by comparison.
I’ve explored all 17 (?) districts in SR 3 in one weekend, discovered a ton of activities (such as those *eh* dolls) by pure accident before the story even told me about them.
I have barely explored one province in Skyrim and while the caves themselves are pretty similar the side missions are pretty diverse.
Of course it helps if you have a car, but the diversions are pretty minor compared to Skyrim’s sheer endless amount of caves and dungeons to discover.
Oh the fun!
