Extra funny because calculators were once a term for people who worked calculating with paper and pencil all day, and the majority of them were women, so much so that it was considered a "woman's job" kind of like being a cashier or hostess. Judgments of that aside, adds to the joke in tongue-in-cheek, old school humor kind of way.

Rest well, Paul. In honor of your legacy, I booted up skyrim, hiked across the map, slayed several dragons who got in my way. Found bucket, stole a wooden sword, stole the broom from an elderly woman, and walked the thlusand steps up the mountain. I hiked to the top of the throat of the world, which at the peak i placed bucket with broom, wooden sword and fork. Closest point to the stars, where you are now. I then booted up fallout 3, and gave grandma sparkles what was coming to her. I love you always, Paul. Rest well buddy.

I’ve never used the carriages as much as the first time I played survival mode. Never knew Dawnstar had a boat that serves the same function!

[@cadenturner1631]

Really? I hated the carriages seeing as I had to almost always eat and sleep before using it and then again after arriving at the new location. But the boat from dawn star/windhelm/ solitude was the best

[@Shiratto]

Really don’t know why they took away the fast travel function if you were going to take the wellness hit from the time lost anyway.

[@tmoney1487]

Yep, reminds me of playing morrowind in a way, though skyrim is a million times smaller than vardenfell. Still it can get tedious having to go way out of your way to get somewhere like when you have to do that dark brotherhood contract to kill the wandering trader. That shit sucks if he's all the way in solitude. Cant fast travel with carriages because he'll just move locations before you get there most likely.

I think it would be cool to do something like a no healing run where every bit of damage you take and every debuff that’s inflicted is permanent but for Fallout.
