User blog comment:Blood Reaper/Things I've learned in Skyrim/@comment-3280330-20120624080530

1. Drinking milk will bring social stigma and shame upon you and your family. Milk is so greatly frowned upon that despite cows being everywhere, you can never seem to find any, though cheese is greatly abundant. Necromancy, by contrast is still more widely practiced and relatively more acceptable.

2. All physically movable objects possess the capability to let you walk through walls.

3. With Lydia in tow, you can cut the length of that descending trip from the summit of a very tall mountain down to 1/10th if you have Unrelenting Force and Become Ethereal handy.

4. With Skyrim's giants, deep space exploration is an unavoidable certainty in the near future. Ever wonder why it will randomly start raining mammoths?

5. Dragons will take time out of their busy schedules (99% of that schedule includes ganking you) to slaughter innocent and unremarkable fauna throughout the countryside, then forget about you for 5 minutes and come back with friends.

6. Frost, Blood and Ancient dragons will fight toe-to-toe with you until they reach about 1/10 of their original health, and then, when you are still at full health and stamina, decide to abruptly pick you up and shake you violently in their jaws, launching you into a nearby river or mountain range.

7. Bears, wolves and sabercats are fun pets (reanimate corpse).

8. Afflicted thralls are immensely funny, especially when fighting other Afflicted.

9. Golldir will bitterly chastise you for stealing a healing potion (wtf?) from a burial urn belonging to one of his long-dead ancestors, but doesn't speak up when you revive his dead aunt Agna in front of him and use her as Draugr bait (Ancestral Worship).

10. I used to be an adventurer like you. Then, I took an arrow in the knee.

11. The richest and most prestigious men in Skyrim will kill peons over a head of cabbage (even though they own farms and businesses) if they've been tipping a few mugs at a local pub.

12. Propping Ulfric's body onto the bench of the banquet hall in the Palace of Kings will cause everyone to suddenly stand up when you enter and feign shock, mutter about security issues and vow revenge on the perpetrator...for about 6 seconds. Then, they'll sit back down and resume drinking and issuing thinly veiled insults at you (even though you killed Ulfric).

13. I've wounded many unique NPCs with arrows to the knee (some adventurers, some not). I've yet to see any of them don a traditional nord guard outfit and tease me about my missing sweetroll.

14. When guards accost me for committing a crime, they always tell me their local Jarl told them to bust me. However, when I speak to the Jarl, he pretends he never said anything.

15. Guards complain about being on duty while their cousins are out fighting dragons. When a dragon lands in town, though, they seem to hide a lot and take potshots with arrows while I do all the hard work. And die.
