We need towels

Post » Sun Jul 25, 2010 6:22 am

We need towels in Skyrim. They need to be items that we can equip, drop, use, and carry. Even if you have to buy them, they must exist.

Seriously, a towel is about the most massively useful thing a Skyrim adventuring hero can have. It has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold peaks of the frozen Reach; you can lie on it on the brilliant marshy-sanded beaches of Dunstad Grove, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the tundra of Whiterun; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy Harstrad River; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Mountain Trolls (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

Indeed, it is thus clear. We must have towels in Skyrim.

and you can just wear it, looking sixy with everything else off while you go to take a bath in the nearby river.

I can't see a valuable reason to add towels in Skyrim. Are we going to be taking baths? Does Dovakiin need to dry himself after he jumps in water? I don't think towels are necessary.

I like it. Especially the prospect of your mountain troll. Madaras, i also would enjoy adventuring Skyrim scantily clad in a towel, you are not alone.

Don't forget to bring a towel!

Reasons why a towel is not needed for real Dovakiin:

1. Dovakiin never get cold.
2. Dovakiin are so tough that sand feels like cotton.
3. Sleep is for the weak.
4. Dovakiin can travel faster than any raft... almost instantaneously!
5. Again, they are so tough that they can punch through metal.... what good would a wet towel do?
6. Dovakiin can produce worse fumes from eating Taco Bell than any enemy could conjure up.
7. Trolls are pathetic weaklings!
8. Dovakiin do not ever need help.
9. Dovakiin are so nimble that even water can not gain a hold on them.

As you can see... towels are quite useless for a dragonborn.

Towels are ok, but for real class you need a little dragon scale box for your Ebony toothpicks.

I get the feeling a fair number of the responders to this thread didn't catch the reference. That makes me terribly sad.
