Skyrim is the type of game where the glitches make the game more loveable. The one-hit KO form the giants that shoot you thousands of feet in the air? Hilarious. Floating Mammoths? love it. If you cast "reanimate corpse" on a dead dragon, it's skeleton shoots off into the sky faster than you can run. I've seen a few others, but none that come to mind right now.

The sheer size, graphic intesity, and nearly abhorrent gameplay freedom within Skyrim make a game that would have made me suspicious of Devil-worship if it DIDNT have glitches. Once you grasp the fact that things are happenign all over the world even when you're not there, the glitches seem less important, considering the sheer power of the game at your command. Several times Ive run into a dead body or animal in the woods that wasnt by my hand, or I'll run into a giant fighting a dragon, or a team of bandits attacking giant spiders. I'll leave the area, come back two hours later, and all their dead bodies will still be there with all the loot that implies. It's a fully functioning and nearly autonomous world, that you're just participating in. There's a civil war going on the whole game that you only have the slightest impact on.

Even the few scripted events happen differently every time. Ive watched five different people play throught the first hour of the game, which is really the only section that's generally played the same by everyone, and Ive noticed the pre-planned events go different each time. Ive made two characters myself; in the one, I lollygagged in between two towns, killing imperial soldiers, hunting a deer, and killing butterflies with fire powers, and ran into one of the scripted events to help kill a giant that was attacking a farm. In my second character, I ran right to the spot at the farm, and the giant was already dead, and the warriors yelled at me and called me a pussy for not helping in time.

I just realized I'm ranting about Skyrim again. Fucking stop it.

ZMA at first, because of the way you said it, i thought you were saying that I reminded you of Just cause 2, which made no sense, but I appreciated the compliment because that game was awesome. Then I kept reading and relaized you meant SKYRIM reminded you of Just Cause 2, not me. .....Oh....okay. :(

lmao but seriously, if skyrim didnt have the "fast travel to cities" option, i would be dead inside from pointless hours of virtual traveling, that place is so fucking huge. My one buddy played the third and fourth elder scroll games, so he's kindof a nerd on em, and he expressed the fact that Skyrim is only a state/country on the bigass island/continent that encompasses the whole mythos of elder scrolls. Which to me, implies that one day....they will have to make an elder scrolls game so vast that it encompasses the whole continent....and then suicide rates across the country will triple, as people realize theyve traversed more area of a virtual world than they ever will in the real world, and depression overwhelms their fragile minds, until the escapism of death is the only answer....

until then, I look forward to the next Elder Scrolls game 6 years from now, even though i doubt i will be done playing Skyrim by then. :D

I'm the type of guy who hates playing humans if I can help it. I'M ALREADY A NORD DAMNIT.

I started with an orc named "Baldo the Nigger-clown" with the full intention of being a dual mace wielder, but for some reason could only find one decent mace for a good portion of the game, so I ended up one-handing it for a while with magic spells in the other hand, and then ended up finding a boss-as-fuck electricity two-handed warhammer. Soooooo by the time I found another decent mace to dual wield with, I was so leveled up in other, better shit, that I just said fuck it and stuck with magic/mace and the mega-hammer.

MY SECOND character was an argonian, (the lizard people) who I named Elizardbeth (see what I did there?) and went straight mage. Since I knew where to get cool spells and shit already after my first playthrough, I was raping shit 30 minutes into the game. Fuck bows and arrows, I was hunting butterflies and rabbits with fireballs, and occasionally sneaking up on thieves and sneakily killing them with FIRE DEMONS.

Still cant kill a fucking giant though.
