Kingchief Sephiroth decides that his uber Master Chief armour makes him so powerful it removes any semblance of challenge the game may offer, and disposes of it. He is Kingcomrade once more, and dons the steel armour of one of the dead adventurers.
Yeah, that's my discarded Master Chief and Sephiroth clothing. No, I don't know either.
I have two options for dealing with the Gatekeeper situation - so, being a lazy bastard, I go for the option that involves little more than sleeping where I stand for twelve hours.
You get some pretty skies in this place. Anyway, I follow her up the stairs.
This scene is... uh... really bad. She talks to it like it's a baby, then starts crying because Sheogorath doesn't love her or something, all in a drab monotone with about as much emotion as Keanu Reeves. Look it up on Youtube or something.
lol dat's crazee
He actually knocks me up in the air and across the area. Kind of interesting, but since it barely does any actual damage, kind of pointless.
And... two strikes later and he's down. Good old Oblivion. Seriously, I have my difficulty bar thing on the upper end of the scale, what's the deal with this shit? Oh well.
Haskill appears!
Funny thing. Reading these lines, what popped into my mind was obviously "CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES LOL". And then we get...
damn Haskul u so crazee y u say these crazee thingras
I was going to ask the Codex which one I should go for, but I decided to be a rebel and go my own path. So I flipped a coin. Dementia it is.
Wait! That Jayred guy, who wanted me to go to the garden of blood and bone or whatever with him, has followed me, and cheers my victory over the Gatekeeper. He doesn't really make it clear whether he's going to follow me or not, but he does.
And we enter... uh... the Bitter Coast.
Okay, this guy seemed a little too fixated on his quest back when it was somewhat reasonable to be so, but now he's just frightening me. He immediately turns around and runs back the way he came, coming to a complete halt halfway up the path. I don't know. I don't care. I'm leaving. Goodbye, Jayred. It just isn't going to work out between us.
So, looks like I'm not too far from New Sheoth, the rooflemeister's city. It kinda makes me wonder what happened to Old Sheoth. Though, thinking about it, I really couldn't give a fuck. Anyway, I'm struggling to see where any of the settlements Haskill mentioned were in Dementia are, and it's hard to tell if Mania is part of the landmass or an alternate version of it I'll never be able to enter. Which is unfortunate, because Dementia's just really fucking boring so far.
I think this might be the only creature I fought this session that wasn't a Grummite Whelp.
I don't care. Leave me alone. Somebody tell him to leave me alone. I'm not returning his calls.
A cave! Hopefully more interesting than that goddamn ruin.
All fairly eh so far. Some decent loot, way too many Grummites, decent layout and design, nothing really worth noting.
what the hell is that
I let it free, out of curiosity.
It shuffles away down the corridor, at speed. Then waits for me to open the door for it. Lazy fucker.
Oh, it kills things for me. How nice. They posed such a threat to me.
I free another one. They run into each other, then just stop and sit like this. Forever. Maybe they're talking or bonding or something, or this is part of a quest I've yet to get, or their follow AI fucked up. You decide.
lolwat
Oh, good grief, there are too many of these things. Maybe I should leave one. I think letting them all go is likely to be part of a quest, and freeing them all before getting it might break it. But then I realise that I don't care if it does or not and let them go anyway.
Out I go. I have to wonder what happened to the draw distance. Oblivion's was huge, and the one in the Morrowinter Isles is... uh... roughly the same as Morrowind's. Foggy weather? I don't know.
lol it's one of these things
It is not appreciative of my efforts in ending the slave trade. It dies in one non-powered blow.
This is the New Sheoth graveyard. All the tombstones have inscriptions like this. All of the jokes are just as bad.
New Sheoth's walls. I expected either something vaguely imaginative or something stupidly wackee. I did not expect the Imperial City.
I approach. Next episode, kingcomrade enters the city, and finally meets the Rooflemeister himself. However, before I go, I leave you with this, to provide your own captions and comments.
