Killing deer

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 3:33 am

So, I'm in the ... what do you call it... tundra? hunting deer for leather and such, and my wife walks in JUST as I get a deathblow animation and the deer sort of squeals in agony. Well, she was horrified. "Babe", I said. "Don't worry, I'm using all of the deer, physically and metaphysically." She walked away, partially sated but still generally disgusted.

I thought it would be better that she didn't know that I was also trapping the poor deer's soul and pasting it to a leather bracer (made from the deer's own skin) to sell for 52gp.

"Cause let's be honest, that's just horrible.

I killed a bunny, only to devour its soul.


What does that make me?

lol, funny story. Ya, I wouldn't tell her about the soul gems. She might be so disgusted that she'd pretend to be fast asleep later on tonight.

Sure, I get it. The game gives sociopaths a safe outlet and I heartily approve of killing virtual deer for fun rather than killing actual small animals and working your way up to pets and eventually you're a headline with a freezer full of people's livers.

Not judging, srsly. We all have our skeletons and or arrows to the knee.

EDIT: This was for the "I kill small virtual animals for the fun of it" people, not the "I hunt deer IRL" people, because frankly, I love spicy venison jerky.

You know what's really fun? ....shooting hawks out of the sky and watch them fall to the ground. sometimes i shot one of them out of the sky and it almost hit a guard.....and he just kept walkin' like nothing happened.

I was going to say you are a monster for killing a poor virtual deer when there are so many edible cheese wheels just lying around... but I didn't know deer give a soul, so thanks for that info. ;)

Killing chickens is entirely justified. They used to report your crimes to the guards.

These finer points do nothing to assuage my wife's general dismay. However, she has no problem mowing down infinite bad guys in MW3. As long as they aren't deer or fluffy little animals, she's all right with mass murder or knee impalement.

I like to hunt in the game actually. I try to get clean kill shots with my bow. Something is fun about approaching the body and assessing your accuracy in taking out the heart and lungs.

Definitely, definitely. My only problem is that I can't seem to one-shot deer just yet, playing on Master difficulty. So yeah, I'm running around trapping them in ice form and hacking them with a sword. I'm pretty sure I occasionally get a lung or a kidney.

I was experimenting with my shiny new paralysis spell on a caribou, but I missed. It ran straight for me and plowed its antlers into my face, shocked by this I started to run away came over a hill and a cute little fox comes out of nowhere and starts biting me... what has happened to all the cute and cuddly forest creatures in my game! :eek:

I understand your question to be, does my wife think real life hunting is inherently monstrous? Actually, neither of us have a problem with real life hunting (or in game hunting, I mean, srsly, it's a game and this is just a funny-but-true story) but the timing this morning was fun enough to share with the rest of the class.
