As some of you know, I had the urge to play Skyrim so I ordered a copy for PS4 because I'm a console peasant.
Anyway, I shared this with the mods so I figured I'd share something I like to do with you guys.
Just a heads-up, I always make female Imperials but this works regardless of race or gender.
I always side with the Empire and I always make sure to buy the house in Riften. Why? Simple, on the back porch, there's a fork and knife that are, for some reason, wieldable as weapons. I take the fork.
At the end, when Ulfric tells Tullius to let the Dragonborn kill him because it'll make for a better song, I strip completely naked and pull out my fork.
Bards will sing for ages about Jarl Ulfric of Windhelm's rebellion being brought to an end when he was killed by a naked Imperial woman wielding a dinner fork.

Never sided with the stormcloaks(?) Riften/Markarth are great No, I side with the Empire because an Empire divided can't hope to fight back against the Thalmor and the Aldmeri Dominion. Hammerfell successfully seceded from the Empire but at great cost, the Aldmeri Dominion has a specific bone to pick with the Nords because of Talos worship, something the Redguards don't really do and thus for Skyrim to secede, it'd be suicide for them without the backing of the Empire and the White-Gold Concordat to keep the Thalmor somewhat at bay.
The Stormcloaks winning means Skyrim would fall into pure Aldmeri rule in a few years because Nords are magically inept and the Altmer are not. Brute force won't destroy the Dominion.

The white-gold concordat is actually laughable, as it's the root cause of the Stormcloak rebellion since it bans the worship of Talos outright and gives the Dominion carte-blanche to go house to house in order to sniff out Talos worship and murder people, kinda like the Nazis during WWII. It's not perfect, it's a stall. Let them go sniffing about for Talos worshipers while we regain our strength.

That and let's face it.
Ulfric and many of the Nords are insufferable xenophobes.
Edit: I tend to be a Companion first and worry about the rest...
...never, really. I don't do the main storyline. Ever. 600+ hours and I've never finished it.
There are dungeons to crawl in and bad guys to kill, and doing the storyline means too many people who deserve to die but are flagged as essential.

I just want Fallout 4 to work again with my mods.
I'm getting really angry and I don't have the time to spot check every last mod to figure out where the *** the conflict is. The load times in that game are stupid long and I simply can't be *** around with what my free time like that.

It's here.
I am ready to be...dovahkiin, The Psycho of Skyrim.
She who will shout obscenities so loud that it knocks grown men to their knees, pulls dragons from the sky, and occasionally freezes or burns people to death.
Oh, won't this be FUN?!

I feel you on this, and in a wider general sense.
I feel like I sleep through 1 update and suddenly everything in FFXIV is different. People used to ignore Spell Speed but now that's a thing, but I have no idea how much of a thing.
Apparently I need to fuse accuracy into everything on SCH, probably for the savage content, but I don't even do that stuff.

SCH always needed Acc, since everyone wants a DPS SCH :P
I lived for spell speed even when doing T9.... Im not sure why it took everyone so long to love it, its amazing!!

That said if you're not doing Savage it's rather moot.
For Spell Speed, I think the biggest issue is that since Heavensward began it's almost always been the best stat for every class when it comes to dealing damage.
SCH's damage is mostly based on DoT's though and since SS effects DoT ticks it ends up being much better damage wise, but I'm sure many people probably assumed that since they're "similar" to SMN they'd have similar stat weights which probably caused the most confusion.

Oh I remember all that.. I was a SCH main and I actually didnt like SMN in that game XD
Even after Heavensward I was told I was dumb for liking SS so much... It saved our *** in Alex hard tho :x
I quit right after... A8.. got bored :x

I always liked CRT so I could blow better bubbles.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
