Why can't I ride a dragon?

Why people complain about complaining people? :tongue:

Why aren't Dragons giant cats?

Alright, so... I was having a problem with my warrior engaging those pesky dragons in face-to-face combat earlier today (as well as pretty much every day before it) and thought of a brilliant solution. It didn't all come to me all at once, mind you.

It all started when I caught sight of a butterfly in a jar. At first, this discovery passed through my mind unmolested. Though somewhere, deep inside, I knew this to be the moment a very powerful idea had jammed itself in the cogs of my creativity. Many-a-dungeon cleared later, the real treasure was found: A second butterfly jar, lying next to a knapsack.

Then a light turned on (sometimes my eyes get watery from staring at the screen too long in that dark room of mine). Hastily, I opened my laptop and collaborated with the TES scientists of the world-wide-web on the methods and processes of efficient Skyrim butterfly catching. Many minutes and broken pencil tips later, I had myself what I believed was certain to be an adequate amount of the majestic little horrors (have you seen their faces?).

My plan was moments away from fruition. The logic was infallible: If a single butterfly had within it enough gravity-defying magic to swim through the very air, there was no way a large enough congregation of them within a knapsack of my very own would stop me from performing the very same feat.

With butterflies hanging over my shoulders and weapons readied for war, I caught sight of a nearby dragon and prepared to engage it in glorious combat. Foot firmly planted, I took my first leap into the heavens. Until...

THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENED.

I did not float, fly, or flutter in any measurable terms.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU BETHESDA? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO IMMERSE MYSELF IN YOUR GAMES IF YOU DENY ME EVEN THE MOST ELEMENTARY INSTANCES OF REALISM? This was science. Shame on you, for standing firmly in the way of unadvlterated, scientific progress.

I quit. I will never, ever even think of touching another Elder Scrolls game until the day I resign to being too senile to remember my own identity.

EXACTLY! Didn't you read the submessage on the title? It's because I got tired of hearing the same bull [censored]. This thread is just to make it seem like all is not lost with Skyrim. It's just for fun. Not every complaint thread has to be a life and death battle of debate. Even though that's what alot of the game is about.

Ok i wan't to know who's idea it was to put birds in Skyrim. Evertime i am wandering around Solitude i get a shadow of large winds over me, scares the [censored] out of me everytime and i have my weapons out and am diving for cover. :ahhh:


What? No screaming? No fire? No roaring? Why are the towns people not running from the dragon?! I come out from my cover, arrows pointing to the sky and look up- it's a [censored] hawk :swear:

Why it's shows I'm forging a sword in the forge if I'm making an armor?!

Annoying? No, that's just funny :3

Epic Score!!!

I've never seen hawk shadows while I'm in a town. I guess I'll have to look harder next time. That's funny you got tricked. Edit: You should try and shoot down the hawk! Teach that bastard to mess with you again.

Yep, they are there. Quite a few of them, the little decoy bastards, flying around the towers and walls. :laugh: Spent many an hour trying to shoot them down to see what i can collect from them but they are too and swerve in the air sharply. Perhaps you are not supoposed to kill them...

Why don't I see any kind of insects in the game?!
Well, we need some immersion here, and it's impossible without insects.

Happened to me in Solitude the other day. It's rare, but that shadow really can make you jump...

there are insects though, there are butterflys torchbugs and ants

OK - my bad. Many posts do indicate just what u said, i got a different meaning from theoriginal message.

Did anyone complain that there were too many '1' on the release date causing confusion, or that 'TESV' was too difficult a title to pronounce? Or even why deleting a savegame permanently erases the file?

Why you no able to sneak in front of enemies in broad daylight?

Nope. You're the first. Edit: For the one who said there were no bugs in the game I've seen termites on the stumps of trees.

I lol'ed :touched:

Why is Destruction so underpowered omgz!

I would love it if dunmers called me ennoia, though.

No. None of these. :flame:

This post was pretty funny IMO.

Sorry but i always thought GOOD thieves work alone. Haven't seen any thieving sort of videogame game feature Co-op lol.

Just had the biggest laughing fit in a while.

lol
I haven't played a thief so I never noticed. I accidently Fus Roh Dah'd that [censored] off a mountain. :\

i miss that too my friend

My Nerevarine's called Anoia, which is close enough. Edit: though I'm not sure what ennoia is, so I guess coincidence, irrelevance or just me prattling randomly.
