Alvor the Smith says that he does the smithing and also that he fixes the Lumber Mill, causing me to wonder if the mill will be permanently ruined if I combine said vandalism with brutally murdering Alvor. In his sleep.
Todd directs the character onward to a quick view of the Lumber Mill and then to his trusty, fat steed that I have chosen to call Chubby Steve. He rides Chubby Steve up the mountain where he shows us a far-away view of the Throat of the World, the biggest mountain in Skyrim and by god, I have tears in my eyes, for this sight is the greater than Niagara Falls! FACT!
On to greater experiences! Todd makes a quick stop by a tower - remember that? There are 2 guards there and this I've been waiting eagerly to make comments on; More so than on the questionable, glowing lunch in the cafeteria at school! He shows us 2 old spells reborn: Detect Life and Frenzy. I must admit that I didn't really use them in Oblivion. I never figured out how to use Frenzy properly and Detect Life was just annoyingly blocking the view. Seriously -.-
Detect Life is now a spell that is active as long as you are casting it, constantly depleting your magicka pool, which is awesome. Frenzy now works effectively - He fires it at one of the guard, and as the name suggests, he goes on a frenzy, trying to kill his friend! That. Is. Bad. Ass!
Moving on, he eventually reaches Bleak Falls Barrow, where he is attacked by a dragon, which you might have noticed. The dragon action we get to see is short, but magical. Unfortunately, he is a wuss and runs away into the temple.
List of awesome:
- Dragon sitting like a badass statue and suddenly just jumping at him.
- Detect Life and Frenzy reborn!
- Sweet combat with guards.
- Better conversation system.
- Chubby Steve.
