Spellsword with light armor? Heresy.

I like light armour more because I don’t tire out after sprinting for literally 2 seconds. Also the light armour looks better, at least some do. There aren’t any gambesons light steel armour so I’m going with what looks the best.

Also might I say how much I hate the lack of sleeves in the majority of armours? I absolutely abhor it, especially the Ancient Falmer armour, hide armour and leather. Apparently no one gets chilly arms in the coldest bloody province of Tamriel.

The Nords are kept nice and warm by their rippling biceps, to hell with the foreigners say the blacksmiths

Orcs are swole in comparison to the Nords, barring a few exceptions such as Oglub, but he's old so he doesn't really count.

My problem is with the fact Nords -Or Falmer- wear armor at all.

What I want to know is what the fuck the whole damn province seems to have against fucking pants. Even the fucking Legion has stopped giving their soldiers pants for some reason. Maybe that was the only way to get the Nords to join? Who the fuck knows. This place is cold as balls and everyone is running around pantsless. Absolutely maddening. The sleevelessness I can tolerate, but no pants in the frozen north? Even Sheogorath isn't that mad.

A lot of the armour sets do actually have pants and trousers in them, the Legion armour is a notable departure from that though. And then others lack covering for the arms like Steel armour, Iron armour etc

[The Imperial Reach]

List of Skyrim Armors That Hate Pants:

• Fur*
• Hide
• Scaled
• Leather
• Studded Leather
• Imperial Light
• Imperial Medium
• Imperial Heavy**
• Penitus Oculatus
• General Tullius'
• Forsworn
• Falmer**
• Ancient Nord**
• Stormcloak Officer's***
• Savior's Hide

*2/3 variants have no pants, that's about 75%!
**Both are "Heavy" armors wtf?
***Female variant literally has a miniskirt wtf?????

Overall half of the Light Armors and several "Heavy" Armors force the player to embrace the chill of the frozen north. If the game were set in Hammerfell, Elsweyr, Valenwood, or Black Marsh I could get it. But Skyrim? Skyrim!? No wonder there are so few children in the game, everybody freezes their balls off!

Most of them do, yes, yet the most common armors in the game do not.

[Dresderstan]

2/3 is not about 75% it's closer to 67%.

[Immoren]

Tamriel is dangerous place, but I sort of assumed that representation of dangers in game are to degree exaggerated for gameplay purposes.

The nature of Tamriel as a literal-metaphorical Arena suggests that this statement can't be really true. It can't be an actual Arena without comically exaggerated hardship.

How did I forget the Arena reference of World?
Time to commit my soul to Dream Sleeve.

Even the infamously pantsless Romans knew to wear pants in Britain.

Did anyone else know about the ghost wandering around/near to that ruin in Hjaalmarch? You can’t talk to him but he leads you somewhere southeast of the Stormcloak camp.

The Ghost of Kjenstag? Yeah. You can get a whole set of Ancient Nord Armor if you kill the ghost while it's running to the bandits at like level 7.

That’s something I’ve never seen before. That’s quite cool.

They always wore pants in colder climates. Something some Caesarboos fail to remember. But somehow the Empire of Tamriel forgot about that when just 200 years earlier they had no problem with it.

And seriously, that miniskirt. Imagine proving your the baddest bitch in the rebellion and being rewarded for your valiant service with a promotion to a high-ranking officer position. You get handed these sweet gloves and boots with spikes on them, an awesome black bear pelt for a cloak+hood, and then... a miniskirt. A miniskirt so fucking short if it were just an inch shorter you could see your nude body mod at work.

I want to know what thirsty, sexless incel came up with that design.

Warmth is overrated. Nords need to show off their beefy arms.

I like to think when the Thalmor came stomping through Cyrodiil they stopped in Hackdirt to burn it down and slaughter everyone in it for the second time in that sinkhole's miserable history.

I see nothing wrong with that. My current character is pretty jacked so why not show it?

I dont think I ever acquired that because I couldn't bring myself to sacrifice a friend

I just sacrificed one of those random mercenaries you can hire in taverns. They count as friends.

I couldn't do that either. I guess my characters are simply to moral to kill for no reason at all.

When in doubt, Faendals out.


He is my go to sacrifice for Skyrim.


Well after you get archery training from him, then he dies.


Or Sven, kill Sven, yes we kill Sven.

I've always wanted to try a scorched earth playthrough of Skyrim, i.e. play as far as you can with some missions but ultimately kill everyone possible and destroy every organisation possible. I say "play as far as you can with some missions" as it is only possible to destroy some organizations after a certain point in missions, and only possible to kill as many as possible at a certain point too.

A beautiful Argonian called Geno-Cide will achieve this in your next run
