To be honest, I am surprised that the game has a manual. They seem to be going extinct quite quickly.

A brawling option, huh. I guess that's the speech skill out of the window entirely, even if you have no hand to hand skill.

So, cooking?
Guess they got inspired by Survival in FONV.

Also lockpicking seems to use the FO3 mechanic and Alchemy skill no longer governs the known effects, instead you have to dicover them through trying. Hmm, doesn't sound too bad on paper.

Alchemy would conceivably require pseudoscientific knowledge where cooking is more artistic?

Ideally, alchemy would allow you to become a drug dealer, mix up bombs, poisons, join the alchemy university as a researcher, restore tarnished or encrusted artifacts, gain the respect of scientific minded npcs, etc, where cooking would allow you to properly cut edible meat from the normally poisonous fuckyou fish, get a job as a castle cook to assassinate the king, seduce fat women, get you fame as your delicious recipes are circulated, and greatly enhance the canibalism experience.

Realistically, alchemy allows you to craft potions of healing while cooking lets you craft bread of healing and get +5 damage with meat cleavers and rolling pins. Plus larping differences.

Cooking has nothing to do with alchemy. It's not like blunt axes and claymore daggers.

Doubt cooking will do anything aside from very minor buffs, it's likely there just so modders have something to start from for their larp fests.

Those who become the Emperor and light the Dragonfires are surely Dragonborn - the proof is in the wearing of the Amulet and the lighting of the Fires. But were they Dragonborn and thus able to do these things - or was the doing the sign of the blessing of Akatosh descending upon them? All that we can say is that it is both, and neither - a divine mystery.

This is some deep shit, guys.

(Come to think of it, I guess it's also a retcon to make the plot of Oblivion slightly less nonsensical, lore-wise.)

So Akatosh hasn't been completely screened out in favour of the lol evil dragun god which as far as we know is just another of his aspects? That's... good news, I guess, wouldn't have put it past them to just have him play no role in the plot at all.

why do I care about this anymore I'm not even going to play it

Wow, you can yield a fight, that's unexpected. There are plenty of nice things developers could do with this, though it will possibly only be used on a tutorial fight, with a HUGE screen tip asking you to do that.

You could yield in Oblivion as well.

Also, some lulz on the origin of "Akatosh":
Ted Peterson:
Julianos is indeed Julian LeFay; Mara is Marilyn Wasserman, another of our beta testers; Arkay came from R.K. Deutsch.

The weirdest name derivation was from one of our beta-testers named Lawrence Szydlowski, which is obviously not a good "fantasy" name. His name on-line was Smaug -- which we couldn't use, obviously, being one of the most famous dragons of all time. His sign-off, though, was Larry, "also known as the Old Smaug himself." That spells out A.K.A.T.O.S.H., so Akatosh became the name of our dragon god of time.

Zenithar is, if I remember correctly, based on a tester named Stephen Zepp.

that brawling looks promising, especially if it pops up alongside the other options every time for maximum fuck you

'each piece of armor'? what, I thought armor was all one piece now? DID THEY ADD ARMOR PIECES IN SECRETLY

The guy who figured out how much money they could save on ink and paper by cutting out game mechanics must be a fucking millionaire.
