There is a spell for magic archers where you sacrifice the soul of one of your pawns to fire them out of your magic bow as an arrow which then explodes spectacularly when it hits anything and does like a bajillion damage. You can then retrieve your buddy from the nearest pawn restore stone thing and they'll be just fine. It's incredible. There is one other game that does this, however: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXEY9XZTqTA&t=361s

In Super House of Dead Ninjas, the flippers allow you to run across water. Of course, I figured this out by accidentally running headlong into an enemy.

Celery Face posted:In Dragon's Dogma, there's a system where you can romance literally every NPC in the game (including little kids, Capcom didn't exactly think the whole thing through) and you might not know about it until a cutscene where the dragon kidnaps them. It'll probably be the NPC you talked to the most, like a merchant or an innkeeper. Someone decided to go with the court jester just to see how it would look and good god is it hilarious. The innkeeper or merchant thing was actually true for a lot of players until a patch made a special case for those two NPCs in particular. An NPC likes you a tiny bit more every single time you talk to them, so naturally the innkeeper and weapon store owner tend to have a lot of "affinity" with you by this point in the game since you've been talking to them and skipping through their 2 lines of dialogue nonstop for pretty much the whole game. So a lot of players with no knowledge that this system even exists (because the game does literally nothing at all to communicate it to you) arrive at the huge climactic fight with the dragon only to be told that the innkeeper is their true love and they must fight the dragon to save him. Every NPC in the game is pansexual.

If they ever do a sequel and you can't accidentally end up gay married to the innkeeper it just won't be the same.

This is pretty much the reason all the guests at my wedding in Skyrim were blacksmiths, merchants and a few minor quest givers.

Nothing beats having Tullius at your wedding because you talked to him a bunch of times right before marrying somebody. I wonder if it's possible to get both Tullius and Ulfric to attend if you run back and forth doing quests for them before having to choose a side?

Well, you can use war table operations to gather resources, but I don't think they give you much. It would also be nice if your party members could give you a boost onto ledges or whatever every once in a while so you didn't have to hop around like an idiot. Particularly if Iron Bull is on your team.

Tullius doesn't really get involved in anything until you join the Legion side, so I doubt it. Balgruuf is the one that sends you on errands to Ulfric mostly. Too bad, because I remember someone posting about how some people from opposing factions showed up at his wedding and it turned into all out brawl to the death.

So I just got Animal Crossing New Leaf for Christmas, so I'm only just now starting to find all the little things. My favorite so far is that multiple villagers can join in on a conversation and if they're happy by the end of it, they'll do a little song. Adorable.

I don't know if it works in the newer Animal Crossings (I learned this in the DS version), but try holding the fishing rod (or any tool really) and using the Clap emote. Your Villager will look like he's furiously wanking due to only his empty hand actually clapping (while smiling gleefully as he does so), and you still get the full clapping sound effect to make it perfect . It's me, I'm the childish one.

That was only one corrupt Imperial and she got her comeuppance, the rest are all reasonable fellows. And the Empire is just biding their time until they have the strength to kick the Aldmeri Dominion's teeth in. The Stormcloaks are a bunch of racist shitbags attempting to destabilize an entire section of the continent just so the admitted murderer Ulfric can wear a bigger hat. Not to mention they're too stupid and shortsighted to realize that without the Empire the High Elves would just steamroll right over them. I hate that Star Wars has entered into the public consciousness that the scrappy rebels are always the good guys. The Stormcloaks are terrible no matter how you slice it. The Aldmeri are the bad guys trying to take over the world, The Empire are the good guys trying to keep the peace, and the Stormcloaks are the bumbling halfwits taking advantage of the situation. They're the guys who pull you out of a burning building and then steal your wallet. But this debate doesn't belong in this thread, so for now I rest my case.

I still wish they did more with the Thalmor. They were a neat way to explore and respond to TES' utterly insane cosmology, a cosmology that they clearly wanted to actually explore in Skyrim given how much focus they put on the Elder Scrolls themselves, the dwarves, and the Dragon Breaks.

I like that once you get your hands on the titular Elder Scroll you can pull it out and use it at any time before its plot moment to instantly flashbang yourself

The priests who study the Elder Scrolls all go blind over time. I like to think that's because they open them, very quickly read the scroll before it flashbangs, then repeating that hundreds of times for each scroll.

Actually the Moth Priests train for years before even going near the damned things, just so they can read bits of it instead of getting the whole scroll flashbanged into their brain at once. And even then, if they're very lucky, they won't go blind after their first reading. Some of them get long careers of reading the Scrolls, other just go blind after a few looks because it's completely random. I suspect the training involves learning to blink really quickly to get safe glimpses.
