Home Sweet Home

Personally I just lived in acorner of Solitude for a while. It all worked until a guy runs out of nowhere takes my crap and asks if he can have it. Even though I said no it was ''still marked as stolen. ''So logically I stole his key and started offing people who lived in his house. It actually made a pretty good backstory for my assassin.

Fun with Followers

Letting my friends living in my house? Sure. Vlindrel Hall is basically the creepiest home in the game since my housecarl died. Since I never even bought Breezehome why can't I move Lydia in?

Don't Fuck with Nature

DF did it. I saw a werecamel the other day. It killed my livestock, my woodcutter, broke my drawbridge defense, and kicked a guy clear into the moat. Another werebeast just transformed at the gate and ran away. Also I have a guest to kill a cavy- beast. Saying werebeasts could get out of hand is..... an understatement.....

DF did mounts too and I've seen reports of people kicking a horse out from under someone. It flies miles, somehow it survives sometimes.

Everyone would just name it something wang related. I mean everyone.

Nitpicky Tidbits

Well depending on your spouse it might be a little weird/ non-consensual. Spooning with Uthgerd in full platemail when you just beat the crap out of her is.....

I have the memory of a grapefruit so how will I remember to write in it?

Sparring seems good unless there just happens to be a giant skill difference. I can probbably kill poor Sven in oneshot with anything better than an iron hammer.

Melting seems good. They might have to adjust weights though. Plating armor with something should also be an option (i.e. Steel armor plated with ebony, scale covered in dragon skin, ect).

Everything else seems good so far.

" Capes! " No capes!

" Spears. Forget everything I just wrote. Forget all the words you just read above. Bethesda, if you can see this, give us spears. We all want it, and we know you can, so please, give us this one tiny titbit. I am willing to forgive everything else if you just give us spears. "

I've been looking into different spears for a while now and it seems to be for anti-cavalry units. This quote seems to be a pretty good reason to not expect spears outside an army setting.

"...martial artists use spears differently than soldiers do. A martial artist trains to fight one-on-one or several-on-one battles, under which circumstances a spear is an awkward weapon; it's tricky to manipulate and is useless if your opponent gets inside it. A soldier trains to stand in line, obey orders, have discipline and not have to defend himself from more than one direction—unless his formation has crumbled, at which point he's got much larger problems than the fact that he doesn't know how to use his spear in single combat."

A list of Spears from that page:

Goedendag

Guan dao

Bill

Naginata

Nagamaki

Guan Dao + goedendag's shaft = win
