We need towels : V - Skyrim

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

It shouldn't make you sad that not everyone here stalks people on tweeter.

Yea, it's Towel Day. Pete even said it on his twitter earlier.

Towels are kinda like pillows so of course i want enough random item. I'm really not joking here, I kinda love basic unuseable items, moving them around or hoarding them for the hell of it, having a towel would make coving my apples look alot less silly than hiding them in chests.

Why the toothbrush does not deserve one day international as well? ... :cry:

What a outrageous discrimination !!!

Nice reference and think about it, we do need towels. That is just brilliant observation that they are not at all in the games. Not even one. We also don't have tooth picks, tooth brush's, toilet paper, and many other frivolous technologies everyone looks over.

OP forgot the single most important function of the towell:

You can get high with the towll.

The answer is 42. Do you recall the question?

I never go anywhere without my towel. If they put towels in Skyrim, it would be fine by me.

42 what?

You forgot to mention the psychological value. If one has a towel, than any they meet will assume they also have skooma, enchanting altar, dragon-fightning kit, etc...

42 what?

That's the answer. Google "The Answer Is 42"

You've read THHGTTG, right? Everyone should...cult classic.

And Don't Panic.

The Hitchhikers's Guide to the Galaxy should required reading for the average student. Not only is the series smart and witty, the series discusses a large range of topics surrounding philosophy and the satirizing of human nature.

To not be off topic/

I am sure that considering hot springs are a definite possibility with the volcanic tundra region and that Skyrim has been mentioned for being renowned for their hot springs. It would be amiss if there were no towels. The amount of clutter-like items was something that I really liked about Morrowind that I felt that Oblivion sorely lacked.

Don't forget to bring a towel.

NO! No towels! If they put towels in the game, I'm not buying it. That's a total deal breaker. I can just imagine I'm trying to fight a dragon and some crappy towel gets in the way... FORGET IT.

I'm more worried that my towel might fall off when fighting the dragon..

though perhaps it'd be my secret attack to make the dragon blush, and then to finish it off.

Just remember. If you're facing a dragon in your towel and he asks you a question, the answer will invariably be "42".

Maybe you can do "bullfighting" with a dragon if you've a red towel.

Anyway we aren't hitchhiking around the galaxy so towels aren't a must.

I love this person. He really knows where his towel is.

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.

Some even have edges you can chew on that have been soaked in antidepressants.
