I went left instead of right at the crossroads and I'm not bringing dragons into the world til I rob EVERYONE. I've done more pickpocketing in 2 hours than in however many years I've played. I'm level nine and I got four grand from petty thievery. Also I have stolen steel arrows from every hold guard I've seen, without fail.

Heh, my waterfront shack in the Imperial City is full of stolen silverware/plates/goblets.  The floor is basically covered now, I like casting fireballs to "make it rain".

They're hardly worth selling, but they *should* be, so it's a nice monument to petty thievery.  Similarly, my Bruma home has a shelf full of carefully arranged gemstones - they shine brightly even in low light.  I'm starting to place sigil stones nearby.

Edit:  Also I think you technically own any arrows you get shot with :P  I like to think the holds of Skyrim actually have a law about that.

It's legal in Skyrim to shoot thieves. As compensation it's legal to steal anything someone shoots at you.

Built a propeller-based airplane that is both player- and AI-flyable, though the AI does have trouble with fleetmove orders(it keeps going up into space). Current armament is modest, two 30mm machine guns(GP,GP,GP,Bleeder/Tracer,Fins,Sabot,Sabot,SabotHead) and two 60mm cannons(GP,GP,GP,Bleeder,PenFuse,HE,HE,Composite), but generally functional against small, light targets(like other planes). I plan to add bombs as well at some point. While the plane is slow for a plane(about 25m/s), it's capable of taking off from underwater. It currently costs around 6k materials.

I'm mostly surprised that it handles well under both manual and AI control, most aircraft I build usually require a choice of one or the other.

I managed to kill Kellogg without dying horribly because Survival difficulty makes everything a billion times more deadly in addition to neutering your carrying capacity, fast travel, and saves. I miss Hardcore Mode.

To elaborate, you get into a short conversation with the guy that ends the same way every time, with you being forced to murder the shit out of him in incredibly Bethesda-like fashion, at which point his synths start blasting you and he pops a Stealth Boy like a prick. You can't target him in V.A.T.S. while he's invisible, unlike both previous 3D games (even if you couldn't actually use it to fire at any of those targets), so you have to either fire blindly at where he could be while his lackeys are unloading lasers into your everywhere or chuck a Molotov or grenade or something and hope it hits him without immediately killing yourself. Because it's Survival difficulty, where ONE Molotov or grenade or something can kill you just as easily as it kills mooks. Cannot tell you how many times I've mistimed a throw and smashed a bottle of flaming death into cover immediately adjacent to my face, or screamed in horror as an enemy threw one of their own at me and I died with full health.

And Kellogg has about seventy billion HP, and can Stimpak himself, and has a gun that kills you in frighteningly few hits. So I ended up saying "Fuck this", abandoning my pretenses of playing through things The Way They Should GoTM (aka without cheesy bullshit) in the process, and sneak-attack-headshotted him with a five-times-cranked laser musket before he even started talking so the fucker couldn't just heal and run away. His lackeys were laughably easy with the big man down.

I love modes that add needs and diseases and stuff like this to make things feel a little less gamey but man does Survival push my damn buttons sometimes.

After being forced to flee from my fortified motel with nearby bar and bakery with naught but a broken bat and broken golf club on my person, I got myself thoroughly lost only to stumble across a hardware store. Every single shelf in the hardware store is absolutely packed with nifty shit. Nails. Hammers. Saws. Axes, just about every book I could want. Everything. Now I've got to determine what to do. My best course of action is probably to go find and snag my large food/booze stockpile and hoof it back to a secure location near here.

The only sucky bit is that this is in a mod world that apparently doesn't have vehicles. That would have made my decision a bit easier.

I don't always get rage-tells, but when I do, they're quite cancerous. Stay salty, my friends.

It's all part of a plan to re-brand the guard's prodigious murder rate as an absurdly high suicide rate among the criminal elements- as evidenced by the fact that they legally owned and wholly controlled the instruments of their own demise at their moment of death.

Clearly, it's the criminal's guilt over their crimes that's driving them to these actions.

You have to provide the rage-text if you say something like that.

My favorite thing to have been called is a "Corset wearing dog-diddler" but that was an NPC in ESO. I've become numb to the offensive statements of living man.

There's an NPC in Earthbound that just goes "Don't go to heaven!"
