I had no intention of buying and playing the game called Skyrim. It was given to me as a gift from my brother. I let slip an expletive as I removed the gift wrapping. I had heard all of the hype, memes, and time consuming effort the game required. Skyrim is a huge detailed game that takes place in a world with nords, mages, dragons, werewolves, vampires, and giants. There are different approaches to playing the game based on a long list of skill sets. You can choose to fight using archery, swords (light), axes (heavy), or magic. Only a limited number of skills can be developed for your character, which forces the player to make decisions to specialize in certain areas. I fully expect to play the game a second time using a different approach.
With most single player games, if it’s possible and both parties are interested, Alexis and I play in a cooperative manner. Alexis does a number of tasks that help me focus on completing missions and fighting battles:
- Selling and buying equipment
- Forging and enchanting weapons and apparel
- Stealing anything that’s not nailed down
- Collecting quests by talking to people
- Reminding me to equip weapons and apparel that are in my inventory
- Skill improvement also known as “grinding”
Of course at the first sign of a dragon she high tails it to the nearest cottage.
To end this post I leave you with a photo of a glitch in the game. The dragon is supposed to be reduced to nothing but bones. Instead it was left fully intact and somehow sank into the ground with just its head and part of a wing showing.
