I was running across the map, just wandering randomly, when I came to an extremely high cliff. The only way to go was to back-track a long distance and go around, so I was kind of bummed.
But then I remembered my Become Ethereal shout that I've never found a use for as a melee fighter.
Consider me Skyrim's first BASE jumper! :disguise:
I love this game!
Call yourself a base-jumper after you discover Bard's Leap (I think that's the name of it, or something similar). I won't say where it is, or what the point of it is, that place made me feel such a rush, and you don't even need Become Ethereal. ^_^
So far I've only seen ants outside Riverwood, but never anywhere else. Same with the bats in Bleak Falls Barrows. The world blows me away at times, but it feels (at times) scripted in certain areas. It's only snowed/rained in specific areas, never in random places while exploring. But like I said, there are views in the game that just take my breath away. ^_^
