Sort of, um... "Jungian". I like! :thumbsup:

:foodndrink:

jung over freud for sure.

freud would probably see a world of phallic symbols and the dragons as maternal hangups.

I must be missing something here.. Well if nothing else OP, you've reminded me why I should cut back on my game time and get outdoors as much as possible

Was thinking the same thing, but couldn't figure out how to put it delicately. Now that you've posted, I'll just copy yours.

Oh god, hahahahaha.
Freedom isn't something that its all cracked up to be. After you've attained it the balance still exists. If you have enough courage to take that step, and break all boundaries, then -by all means- achieve the freedom, and surpass personal impossibilities.
But I know what you mean. This game does do a great job in bringing back the simplicity of life, and the simple goodness of it. All you really gotta do is survive and be happy.

Think you can edit your post to say less than 50 decimals of pi so it isn't stretching the forums toward infinity, thereby causing a paradox which will svck BGS into a blackhole and delay Skyrim by eternity?

kthx

Life.

Automation, fullfillment, identity, legacy, truth, destiny.

For thousands of years the human race has sought the wieght of id. We have done it first around campfires. Then in the safety of our villages and the growing complexity of society and the grand freedom of public forums. Over games of chess and superbowl commercials. We have debated the ways and wanders of heroes and kings and devils and god.

We have looked for these cocophanies of foolish delights, but always from an abstract lofty ungraspable cleft. Inches away as Adam and his creator crowning the Sistine Chaple.

I believe Video Games add to this world of known unknowns and none more so than TES in general and Skyrim specifically.

Here we are able to take a life in shackles.

Aren't we all there, locked away from the open world, brought down by the prisons of responsibility and our jobs and bills and all the other things that keep the villages walls up so we can safely debate our place? But when we are no longer the ones who pay the electric bill but are instead the ones who break free and see ahead the infinity of impossible destinies. Where no man lays claim to your time, and freedom is more than just blood currency for borders and capitilaism, but a grander idea of freedom. Like Loius and Clark freedom. Like no holds but the sky freedom. No limits but the gods freedom.

And no problem in beyond us. No mountian that can't be climbed. No dragon that can't be slayed.

Dragons. That's what where here for right? Flying around causing trouble. With power here on this free world you have the means. Morally we can stand and find our own place and temper our own scales and nod at the reflections our own modest means.

“Fairy tales are more than true – not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten.”
~ G. K. Chesterton

Society IRL has cast us out of our element and around us we have built a safer more comfortable world. We have lost the edge of real fear in the dark forest things. Though we still dream of beasts occasionally. Skyrim and other epics in this still young medium of art is a way into a more concious dreamworld where we can connect with our ancestors around that fire surrounded by woods. And know that we are able to step into the dark and slay the beasts that would pull us our own into the night.

You have a good heart... but if you need video games to find freedom then I pity you.

You can be an adventurer in a game sure... but adventuring in real life is more awesome. Go camping alone in the wild for a few days to know what I mean.
