DAILY MANIFESTO

Let's Play with GameRevolution: Skyrim Episode 4!

Posted on Wednesday, December 7 @ 12:05:00 Eastern by

There's certainly something exhiliarating in taking down one of Skyrim's many dragons. There's something even more exciting when it's your first one.

How is it that in less than 40 minutes I can kill some hobo-witch lady, talk to a king, and then kill a dragon and become some mythological being? Stay tuned for our next episode later this week.

    It might be the sleep-deprivation talking, but I think this was my favourite episode yet. Also, I've been past hobo-witch lady's shack about a dozen times, and not once have I noticed that trapdoor; this kind of stuff is why I love Bethesda games.

    You learn enchantments by disenchanting items (eg, that bad-ass Ancient Nord Greatsword of Cold), which unfortunately destroys the item in the process. As for alchemy, you can learn one effect of an ingredient by eating it (yes, your character is apparently able to eat things like salt piles, giant toes, sabrecat teeth, feathers, etc. Although at least it's not as bad as Morrowind, where you could eat stuff like raw glass, Dwemer scrap metal, and diamonds).

    "Am I even going the right way?" -ah, the call of the Bethesda game-player

    "Are there aliens in Skyrim?" -Technically, since the Daedra live on planes/planets in the TES equivalent of space, they basically are aliens.
