The only thing my History of English professor could tell me about my attempts at the accent is that I had studied Latin and German at some point, and that I was from northern Ohio...
I cried because she was absolutely correct >_<
Edit: KC, I like the idea of playing a hunter in Skyrim. I might go do this, and never play any of the main storyline...

Sad day, while I was conscripted into the Legion, I was forced to start the blasted Dragon Quest. Itsa good thing Im so good at sneaking around in the forest, I just hope that the game I hunt, wont become an early morning snake for some damn flying lizard.

You mean to tell me the entire population of Yorkshire over the age of 50 lives in shoeboxes, lakes, and holes in the ground?

Did anyone see the article about Felix the peaceful monk on the front page of the Wall Street Journal? I had heard of him before, but it was cool to see it on the front page of the WSJ.
If you haven't seen that it's a great case study on yorkshire.
Seen it, used it as a reference, showed my class, as well as a story I found on youtube.
The worst part about this is that we have a professor at my university that has moved to America from Yorkshire, and while she hates my writing, I love her accent...

Yorkshire accent is actually quite similar to Northern German accent, people from Yorkshire often find it easy to learn German.

Use Spells, not Swords! Remember kids, mind-rape and manipulation is the way to deal with people who wish you bodily harm, not killing.
If you don't get caught, you don't need to fight!
Dragon eating a town? Sorry, the Dovahkiin doesn't go in for that 'killing' thing.
While I can appreciate the thought that's gone into the character, and was even tempted to do something similar myself, I dislike how the WSJ is treating 'Pacifism in Video Games' as the only 'right, proper and Christian' way to play- at least, that's the undercurrent I was getting. When playing a video game, you need to take into account the setting, the culture that the game is trying to immerse you in, and exactly what the alternatives to 'nonviolence' entail. Sure, you could probably play GTA without killing people, but you're still smuggling drugs, jacking cars and evading the police.
What I'd love is if there was a way you could arrest folk- play a guard, or a free-lance officer of the law, busting smuggling rings and breaking up bandit dens.

Really? I can kind of see some similarities but I'd need to see some videos of north german folk speaking.

I definitely see your point. I just thought it was cool/funny that skyrim and felix were on the front page haha
In the words of the late, great Colonel Sanders: "I'm too drunk to taste this chicken."
Well I took the plunge and made a similar character to felix, but as not to copy him completely, I used an Argonian Its great too, because Ive never actually had an Argonian character....ever.....in any TES games. And I must say, it is rather difficult not killing anything, specially in dungeons. And I was almost stumped when I went to get the dragon stone for that terribly acted Mage in Whiterun. How exactly do I get his stone, without killing HIM So I just played rabbit and let him chase me to soem traps, and presto changeo, I ran back and forth through them until the axes killed him. TADA! Same with Dragons so far, I havnt hit ANYTHING in this game let along kill em. Its a nice change of pace I can tell ya that.
Water terrifies me. I am glad to know there was no reason to go down there.

I did find an old shipwreck at the bottom of the ocean.
Sadly, I didn't have a waterbreathing enchanted item on me, and it was far enough down that I wasn't able to fully explore it with a waterbreathing spell.

Keep in mind that non-argonians can hold their breath for about 2 minutes before your health starts going down. Unless you are in REALLY deep that time is normally sufficient to find stuff.

As a fellow blackmarsher I'm also disappointed by the lack of underwater adventuring. I ran across a half sunken castle the other day and was like "alright, time to get some argonianing done". Nope, pretty dry in there.

Something I hadnt really paid attention too until now, uhm....why cant I attack under water? If I cant cant attack, at least poke things in the eyes, then why the FETH did they include attacking slaughterfish? I just dont get it.
