Let's Play Skyrim

[RK47]

That is a collection of hentai novels I downloaded like mad over the weekend to kill time. I got banned from the site for 24 hour due to overzealous torrent whoring.

If you must know, it was the Mon-Han (Monster Hunter) ero series illustrated by the 'Udon-Ya' circle.
I like the art, but the porn direction is a little EXTREME. But I totally dig the MMO inside jokes. There's this chapter about one guy who had a best friend. They both mined every day for a rare gem or something. Then one day his best friend got what he wanted, a rare skill gem. To celebrate, both agreed to meet up for hunts for the very first time. After some waiting and switching into hunting gear, it turns out the best friend is a rather beautiful girl wearing an Ultima Online classic skull helmet when she's mining.

Thanks for the bump, guys!

Descending the cliff like Tom Cruise sans the safety cables, Shepard comes across a worn-looking cabin.

Anybody home?

Moving closer, Shepard comes across an old lady sitting outside the cabin.

Nice place. But don't you think it's kind of dangerous to live alone in this forest?

Yeah, sure you are...mind if I enter?

The woman frowned, but offered no reply.

Hmmm. Locked.

A little jimmying with the locks later, Shepard is in the old lady's basement.

Now, how would an old woman survive in the forest for so long?

Magic! Of course!

A quick search in the basement reveals some rare reagents and enchanting tools.

I'm sure she won't mind if I borrow these...

Right, time to axe her some questions...

Shepard climbs up the ladder and made it out of the cabin. Only to be greeted by a blast of hot air.

Stand still, lady. I'm just going to axe you once...

Chop. And down goes the witch.

One less wicked old lady in this world.

Trudging a few minutes later, Shepard retrieves his faithful steed.

Sorry I took a while, Normandy.

Let's go.

It's night when he returned to Riverwood.

But Lucan's shop is still open, with a quirky change in his furniture arrangement.

Uhh....what happened to your display counter, Lucan? Wait, don't answer that. Here's the claw.

Oh, wow! You did it, Shepard! And the bandits?

Dead.

Ha ha ha. There it is. Strange...it seems smaller than I remember. Funny thing, huh?

I don't do comedy, Lucan. Now cough up the cash.

Yeah, sure. Here you go. I'm going to put this back where it belongs. I'll never forget this. You've done a great thing for me and my sister.

Well, I hope you're not thinking of placing it on your invisible...

Thunk!

...counter. Fuck it. I'm out of here. Have a nice day, Lucan. Send your sis my regards.

Shepard retires to the inn till morning. Once the sun rises, he spends some of his wealth on some ranged upgrades.

All finished, it's time for his triumphant return to Whiterun.

I hope this is the last of the inane tasks I gotta do.

Hours passed...

Feeling rich, Shepard splurge further coins on cool upgrades.

Finally, a new necklace around his neck, he report back to Aela, who seems a little bored of waiting.

The wolf is dead.

A small amount of coins changed hands.

A hundred? Man, I could've made more from killing three bandits on the streets. Whatever, I'm going to find Vilkas. Maybe he's got better things for me. Hey, Vilkas!

Mmm. OK.

You wanted to see me?

Yes. I have something a little different planned this time.

As long it's not punching girl on the face, or pest hunting, I'm all ears.

It's not for everyone to hear. Meet me in the Underforge tonight.

Where is this Underforge?

I forget that you've never seen it. Beneath the Skyforge, where Eorlund works. Find me there tonight, and we'll talk more.

Cryptic. Fine. I'll see you tonight.

Later...

So.....dragons?

Shepard rode Normandy alongside the guards and stops his steed as the ruined tower comes into view.

Damn..

Minutes earlier at Dragonsreach, Whiterun...

Perhaps dating to just after the Dragon War. If so, I could use this to cross-reference the names with other later texts.

Good. I'm glad you're making progress. My employers are anxious to have some tangible answers.

Oh, have no fear. The Jarl himself has finally taken an interest, so I'm now able to devote most of my time to this research.

(Hmmm, suspicious. Who is Farengar speaking to?)

Time is running, Farengar, don't forget. This isn't some theoretical question. Dragons have come back.

Yes, yes. Don't worry. Although the chance to see a living dragon up close would be tremendously valuable...

(What are they trying to find out?)

Now, let me show you something else I found..very intriguing...I think your employers may be interested as well...

(Well?)

Hmm? Ah, yes, the Jarl's protege! Back from Bleak Falls Barrow? You didn't die, it seems.

(Damn!)

I got you the stone. What next?

That is where your job ends and mine begins. The work of the mind, sadly undervalued in-

Who is this?

My...associate here discovered the location, by means she has so far declined to share with me.

I see.

You went into Bleak Falls Barrow and got that? Nice work.

And you are?

Farengar!

Say what?

You should come, too.

Damn.

What did it do? Is it attacking the watchtower?

No, my lord. It was just circling overhead when I left. I never ran so fast in my life. I thought it would come after me for sure.

Good work, son. We'll take it from here. Head down to the barracks for some food and rest. You've earned it. Irileth!

Sire?

You'd better gather some guardsmen and get down there.

I've already ordered my men to muster near the main gate.

Good. Don't fail me.

Right. So...you want me?

Yes. There's no time to stand on ceremony, my friend. I need your help again.

I assume you want me to assist Irileth?

Yes, you survived Helgen, so you have more experience with dragons than anyone else here.

Your majesty, I-

I haven't forgotten the service you did for me in retreiving the Dragonstone for Farengar. As a token of my esteem, I've instructed Avenicci that you are now permitted to purchase property in this city.

Assuming I survive to take advantage of that offer, of course.

Hm. And please accept this gift from my personal armory.

The Jarl hands Shepard a pair of magical iron gauntlets. He insists that the enchantment will improve Shepard's battleaxe prowess as well as other two handed weapons. Shepard dons it immediately.

Thank you, Jarl Balgruuf. If there is nothing else...

I should come along. I would very much like to-

No. I can't afford to risk both of you. I need you here working on ways to defend the city against these dragons.

As you command.

One last thing, Irileth. This isn't a death or glory mission. I need to know what we're dealing with.

Don't worry, my lord. I'm the very soul of caution. Shepard, I'll see you at the watchtower as soon as the rest of the men have gathered.

Understood.

Shepard takes off his steel gauntlets and dons the Jarl's gift. Feeling his grip tighten as he closed his palm into fists. Satisfied, he exhaled a long breath of anticipation as he opens his palm wide to form a claw.

This is going to be good.

The Present.

Spread out and look for survivors. We need to know what we're dealing with.

The soldiers look unsure, Shepard draws his battle axe and take point.

Anyone still alive?

To his surprise, a human form greeted him from inside.

Guardsman! What happened here? Where's this dragon? Quickly now!

Irileth, maybe it's gone, just like-

A loud whoosh in the air stopped Shepard in mid sentence.

Never mind.

Kyraneth save us, here he comes again...

Music: Dragon Fight

Fuck, my axe's useless.

Shepard draws his orcish bow and look up.

Not sure if that's the same as the one in Helgen....hell. Doesn't matter.

The dragon circles around the tower, assessing the threat before picking its target.

I'm heading upstairs! Keep it busy!

Ha! Eat this!

Shepard plugged several arrows as the dragon unleashes its fury on the ground, it howls in fury as arrows rained on its back. Suddenly, it takes flight!

Damn.

Shepard lets loose another arrow at the darting form, it barely grazed the dragon's majestic wings as it soared past.

Here it comes again...

On the job training, motherfucker.

Say cheese!

Fuck.

Blinded and burned, Shepard retreats down the stairs and applied some healing salve.

As the flaming onslaught ceased, Shepard ascends once more !

The dragon, tagged by over a dozen arrows by now, showed signs of exhaustion and landed on the ground. Shepard draws his axe as he descends the watch tower.

Ready or not, here I come!

Out of the way!

The wounded beast turns towards Shepard and spat out words at its assaulter.

Welcome to earth!

Fuuuuuuuck.

Ignoring the blast of flame, Shepard felt the ground melted below him, his steps planting him deeper and deeper into the ground, but his axe is raised way high, ready to dish out the pain as he grew closer.

Up yours!

Say AHHHHHHH!

With a mightly THOOM! The dragon's bloodied head collides with the axe, giving it a severe concussion. The beast's majestic form no longer stands tall, its head planted firmly onto the ground, neck's unresponsive as a morning hangover. Eyes wide in shock and fear.

Hurts like a bitch, huh? Time to say good bye!

Shepard raises his axe again for the final strike!

A loud roar escapes the dragon's jaws as the blow landed. Shepard swore he could understand bits and pieces of the roar....but quickly dismissed it as the battle adrenaline.

The roaring finally stopped. The form is still.

Dovahkin?

Suddenly, the beasts lifeless form caught fire!

The fuck?

Shepard watches in fascination as the dragon's flesh caught fire...and leaving nothing but bones behind in its white hot afterglow.

Finally, ray of lights travelled from the bones into Shepard...engulfing him in a reddish bloom. Once it was done, no trace of flesh nor scale remained on the dragon. Just bones.

[Krraloth]

Fuck that was some lighting fast upate skillz.

By the way are you cutting out much content? it seems nice the way you get random quests (albeit with lousy rewards from what I can see), are the quest troublesome like they pop up too many times? have you found an overcrowding of dragons? Did you try use a shout-thing yet?

They do. I am - intentionally - avoiding it. It's quite ridiculous at times, the first time I started Skyrim, OK, Riverwood wasn't THAT bad. But Whiterun is overdoing it. If you step into town and decide to ask for a rumor or talk to every NPC and pick every dialogue option, chances are, you'd end up with at least 5 quests that takes you to many, many far out points in the world with very little reward attached to it. And once you hit mid level, you'd even be shoved with courier messages telling you to 'go there, some interesting stuff is happening'.

I wouldn't say cutting content, but I gotta have focus. It's too easy to get side tracked in this game. Overcrowding of dragons? No...not really. I do play long stretches and most times after 4 hour session on weekend, I usually get 2-3 dragon encounters. That's not a lot IMO.

As for shout, you only get it if you follow the main quest trigger - which is killing this first dragon would give. If you never hand over the Dragonstone to Farengar, you will never encounter dragons, hence no dragon souls to unlock the shouts. You can 'learn' the shout but will never be able to use it.

That sucks, because quests with good rewards and maybe some sort of area-trigger counter (more than 4 quests in the same village = no more for some in-game days) would be nice to have.

Btw this radiant thing reminds me of that Simutronics mmo that has been in the making for like 10 years Hero's Journey or some shit, that was supposed to have a generated content quest with thousands of triggers related to your titles, deeds stats and even social-whatnot...I dunno what happened to the game but that was, at leas on paper, very good shit

anyho



MOAR!!!

 

[RK47]

I think the issue with Radiant quest is:
1. The reward is just isn't there.
Gold isn't enough. Heck. Gold is plentiful from other sources. And since XP isn't rewarded through the traditional ways of completing quests - there's a sense of non achievement. You didn't really accomplish nor earned much, except if they sent you to those...'cool hiking places.' Exploration is your only reward.

2. Kill X , Get Y
I just roll with the punches here, but for once, Bethesda needs to vary the quest solutions a bit. Make failure possible, not just because the hero dies. Make it fail because the primary NPC is killed in action. Or the villain escapes. Quest failed, so the iron-man (no reload) player will go - awww, fuck it, right? Well, the big bad'll come back. With a group of thugs to beat you up in the future - radiant style. How about that? A little C&C along the way.

3. There's no time limit.
I find it incredibly amazing in this world, distance is rendered meaningless due to fast travel. But that's easily fixed, if you simply DON'T use it. But what about the sense of time? There isn't any. No matter how long you take to find the item, the bandits will not sell it away. Forget to rescue the captive for 1 month game time? No problem, Dovahkiin, the chick is still there, tortured, and raped by the necromancers, awaiting rescue. Come the fuck on. Have some balls to introduce URGENCY. How can Dovahkiin ignore the dragon threat if they just come piece by piece, like Jacky Chan movie villains that took 5 minutes to dispatch each? Have a counter - should the MQ be ignored for too long, 2 dragons spawn. Still ignored? 4. 6. 8. Till the player realized he's fucked until he dealt with the dragon threat. It wasn't as bad as the 'peaceful oblivion gate invasion' but damn, these dragons are just like flying pinatas at times, existing to drop those 250 gold worth of bones and scales per.

 

[abnaxus]

Heh, so Delphine shows up in Dragonsreach in secret? It's a nice touch, I never noticed that.

I assume this is when you're out hunting after the Dragonstone?

Sometimes you get free skill upgrades.

Yeah, my latest update with the war veteran and his old helmet was radiant. He increased my sneak skill.

 

[RK47]

What's a dragonborn?

In the very oldest tales, back from when there still were dragons in Skyrim, the Dragonborn would slay dragons and steal their power.

Well, I'm not sure if I felt powerful after killing that thing.

Only one way to find out. Try to Shout...that would prove it.

Shouts?

According to the old legends, only the Dragonborn can Shout without training, the way the dragons do.

The way dragons do? Don't you mean roaring around? Why would I want to learn that?

That's right! My grandfather used to tell stories about the Dragonborn. Those born with the Dragon Blood in' em. Like old Tiber Septim himself.

Are you saying I have the blood of the Emperor with me? Keep in mind, that man is long dead when I was born in Hammerfell.

I never heard of Tiber Septim killing any dragons.

There weren't any dragons then, idiot. They're just coming back now for the first time in....forever.

Gentlemen, please. Let's put too much stock on legends, these dragons are here to kill you. Probably sent by Ulfric Stormcloak, just like the time it rescued him from execution in Helgen.

But the old tales tell of the Dragonborn who could kill dragons and steal their power. You must be one!

What do you say, Irileth? You're being awfully quiet.

Come on, Irileth, tell us, do you believe in this Dragonborn business?

Hmph. Some of you would be better off keeping quiet than flapping your gums on matters you don't know anything about.

But-

Here's a dead dragon, and that's something I definitely understand. Now we know we can kill them.

I don't need some mythical Dragonborn. Someone who can put down a dragon is more than enough for me.

You wouldn't understand, Housecarl. You ain't a Nord.

I've been all across Tamriel. I've seen plenty of things just as outlandish as this.

Time's wasting - what now, Irileth?

Wait!

What?

Uh....

Shepard gathers all the 'force' within him. Suddenly, his mind was brought back to the words he learned in Bleak Falls Barrow, instinctively, he knew the word to shout. It's almost as if there's something else 'within' that unleashes the shout.

FUS!

I can't believe it! You're...Dragonborn...

That's...interesting. Strong enough to nearly knock off a man. Oh well, could be useful. Let's sell of these bones and scales.

Irileth?

Hmph., I don't know about this Dragonborn business, but I'm sure glad you're with us. Return to Whiterun, Jarl Balgruuf will want to know what happened here.

A few distance later...Shepard hears a mighty shout, like a thunder cracking through the sky. He can hear it clearly, 'Dovahkiin.'

The hell was that?

News travel fast.

It doesn't matter.

Shepard walks past the guard, into the city.

Hm, what's going on here?

Look, why don't you find an Argonian to do your dirty work. I'm kinda busy. Bye.

Shepard hurried his steps up to Dragonsreach.

Shepard overhears the discussion between the Jarl and his brother.

You heard the summons. What else could it mean? The Greybeards...

So what happened at the watchtower? Was the dragon there?

The watchtower was destroyed, but we killed the dragon.

I knew I could count on Irileth. But there must be more to it than that.

When the dragon died, I absorbed some kind of power from it.

So it's true. The Greybeards were really summoning you.

The Greybeards?

Masters of the Way of the Voice. They live in seclusion high on the slopes of the Throat of the World.

What do they want with me?

The Dragonborn is said to be uniquely gifted in the Voice - the ability to focus your vital essence into a Thu'um, or a Shout. If you really are Dragonborn, they can teach you how to use your gift.

When I was riding back into town, I heard a shout thundering through the sky, what was that?

That was the voice of the Greybeards, summoning you to High Hrothgar! This hasn't happened in...centuries at least. Not since Tiber Septim himself was summoned when he was still Talos of Atmora.

Talos? The banned worship of the White Gold Concordat Treaty?

Hrongar, calm yourself. What does any of this Nord nonsense have-

Hrongar, don't be so hard on Avenicci.

I meant no disrespect, of course. It's just that...what do these Greybeards want with him.

That's their business., not ours.

The Jarl rubs his chin for a moment before continuing.

If they think you're Dragonborn, who are we to argue?

I see.

You'd better get up to High Hrothgar immediately. There's no refusing the summons of the Greybeards. It's a tremendous honor.

I'll do it when I have the time.

I envy you, you know. To climb the 7,000 steps again...I made the pilgrimage once, did you know that?

Sounds like a tiring place to visit.

I wonder if the Greybeards even notice what's going on down here. They haven't seemed to care before.

They stayed neutral? Even when they have the power to tip the balance?

No matter. Go to High Hrothgar. Learn what the Greybeards can teach you. You've done a great service for me and my city, Dragonborn.

It was nothing.

By my right as Jarl, I name you the Thane of Whiterun. It is the greatest honor that's within my power to grant.

Thank you, milord.

I assign you Lydia as a personal housecarl, and this weapon from my armory to serve as your badge of office.

Shepard accepts the Axe of Whiterun gratefully. A magical axe to be sure.

We are honored to have you as Thane of our city, Dragonborn.

The honor is mine, Jarl Balgruuf.

Shepard takes a moment to step into Farengar's enchantment lab to tweak his orcish bow. Learning that Dragon fights are initially determined by ranged skirmishes, he added an extra kick to his arsenal.

Next dragon I see gets toasted.

Follow me, then.

The Axe of Whiterun has a soul trapping enchantment - ensuring its usefulness. Shepard no longer needs to rely on Soul Trap spells. He never liked Conjuration magic, anyway.

It's night when he left Dragonsreach. He remembered the business with Skjorn in Underforge.

Lydia, wait here.

Yep.

 

[Brother None]

Wait wait wait, I was still laboring on the delusion RK47 was never doing a Skyrim LP. Why did you lie to me?!

Oh well, good stuff, weird hentai filler aside.

 

[anus_pounder]

^
What he said and...

 

[Majestic47]

Next one's gonna be fun. I really enjoyed myself. Honest.

 

[RK47]

Bumping it to prevent overcrowded images.

 

[RK47]

 

[RK47]

 

[RK47]

Aela? My armor-

I was starting to think you might never come back.

Aela, what just happened?

Yours was not an easy transformation. But you're still alive, so congratulations.

Transformation?

You were born into the pack, brother.

....I..remember..the Underforge.

Your blood. I..I drank it.

I almost envy you. That first time is always the most...intense. You gave us even more trouble than Farkas did at his first turning.

What now, Aela? Where are we?

We have a celebration planned for you.

Oh? I don't see a tavern around here.

There's a pack of werewolf hunters camped nearby, at Gallows Rock.

Oh, the Silver Hand.

I see you've met them before. We're going to slaughter them. All of them.

We are?

Skjor's already scouting ahead. Lead on.

This werewolf form...

You won't change, until you choose to use it. Then, well...you got a taste. Stronger, faster.

Can I control it?

Yes, but it doesn't last long, though. The blood of your foes can sustain you. If you're willing to feed.

Alright. Let's go.

Shepard dons his steel plate armor and crept forward towards the small fortress with Aela close behind.

(Not sure if I should use this beast form...damn it, stay focused, Shepard.)

The first guard spotted, Shepard pulls back an arrow.

It missed, drawing the attention of other Silver Hand guards.

Damn!

It's now or never, Shepard.

Music:In the Air Tonight

I...am...

Shepard's vision blurred, for a moment he could feel the strain of his muscles...and the sound of his steel armor straps popping from the strain. He growled from the intense pain...

Urghhh...Arrrrrrhhhghhhhhh Fuuuuuc-

The armor pops loose, revealing the rapid growth of fur beneath. His fingers grew longer and longer, sprouting into a massive claw at the end of it.

I...ammmmm

SHEPPPPPEEEEEEEERRRRDDDDDDDDSSSS!!

DIIIIIEEEEE!

In a flash, the massive beast climbs up to the rooftops and swung its massive claw at the hapless archers.

A quick one-two, and the archer drops to the floor, barely conscious and bleeding from head to toe.

*HOWLS*

The blood of your fallen enemies will sustain you!

The beast tore into the corpse ravenously, drinking blood and chewing on muscles, flesh alike.

MOARRRRR!

Leaping off the rooftops, the beast storms into the Silver Hand stronghold.

*Growls*

The Silver Hand guards were caught unprepared - Shepard's massive claws bearing touches of death. Few can withstand the blows, even if they could, they would fall to the floor. Ripe for the beast's feasting.

GRRRRRRRRR!

Angered by the sight of fellow were-kind's body, Shepard pushed onward. Tearing into another unsuspecting guard.

And another.

And another.

MUSTTTTT FEASSSTTTTT! GROWL!

TIS WON'T HURRRRRRRRTTTT-

FOR ME! MWROAR!

They call him the Skinner. I don't think I need to tell you why.

Hrrrrghhhh.....*pushes door open*

Shepard knew he is outmatched if he takes on four of them at once...he reined his beastly instincts and divided his opposition. Tearing them apart one by one.

The blood of the fallen gives him the much-needed sustenance.

At last, three fell, and one remain. The Skinner.

Shepard's blows are just too strong to repel. The Nord collapses as Shepard's right claw tore his left shoulder, knocking him onto the floor.

The left claw ripped his chest, painting his armor crimson.

With a triumphant howl, Shepard feasted on the Skinner's blood.

It would be minutes past before he return to his human form.

 

[DarthBehemoth]

Great update RK!

 

[TripJack]

thats all very well and good but the does the game feature hot werewolf on werewolf action

 

[Brother None]

I really dislike the Companions questline.

Spoiler

The key plotpoints mostly happen outside of your control and without you present. And what about the Silver Hand? It's established a ton of werewolves go feral? How are they the bad guys? Why is this never explored?

(not very spoilerific but the kind of smug "I've played the game!" stuff you see in LPs too often so I put it in tags)

 

[TripJack]

the real question is why would an entire band of dedicated werewolf hunters be unable to deal with 1 werewolf

is shep just that extreme

 

[anus_pounder]

For a famous band of hunters, their equipment is rather shit. Fur armor ? Against Werewolves ? Really ? Steel Armor should've been the bare minimum.

 

[abnaxus]

I wasn't impressed by werewolf form, until I discovered how to howl...

 

[RK47]

There's one major problem with werewolf form, there's no health regen. You really have to rely on the knockdowns and howls to keep enemies disabled and make sure you feed after they died to keep your red bar topped up. But yeah, Silver hand lol. I wanted to upgrade the silver swords but couldn't do it as well.

Goddamn Bethesda.

 

[Multiple Sarcasm]

There's one major problem with werewolf form, there's no health regen.

No health regen is a... problem?

Personally, I'd thought the necessity to feed on the fallen to restore health was a micro-incline... up until I saw how much damage the character dealt as a werewolf and how often he'd knock down on power attacks. Howling's also pretty much an insta-win. Still fun, though.
By the way, as a bit of trivia: effectiveness of werewolf's attacks is governed by the 'One-handed' skill (but doesn't improve while in that form).
And there's already a mod to allow unlimited transformations per day (in case you felt you weren't furry enough): http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2041

 

[RK47]

-.- God damn! One Hand - eh? I might work on those later, then. Thanks for the tip, bro!
