I would readily watch a feature length Skyrim film with Graenolf playing every character.

[@Morne_]

I completely agree, and I would gladly help to fund it. 😆 Then again, I feel like a feature-length film based on any game would be amazing as long as Graenolf was playing every character. I mean, can you imagine how ridiculously amazing something like South Park: The Stick of Truth would be if every character was Graenolf? 😂

I also like the strange thing in Skyrim where if someone is your companion but also a trainer, you can pay them to train you and then just ask for the money back and they are cool with it.

[@keiraaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Never forget though that getting pickpocket training makes taking your money back from them easier, which also levels up your pickpocketing naturally. Which also lets you level up so you can reset the training cap, rinse and repeat... and it just works.

[@Graenolf]

😄😄

[@JargonMadjin]

To be fair, have you tried wearing a full set of armor before? Depending on the material it can weigh you down quite a bit so you have to train your body to handle it

[@ninjagamer1359]

Not only maintaining as much of one’s strength, maneuverability, and endurance while wearing armor as one can, but also perhaps even the act of simply putting it on correctly and efficiently, with all those pieces and straps and such, would require some level of education and practice; wouldn’t it?

[@mr.midgardville]

The clothes wearing skill makes total sense... There's been at least a couple times i've walked around half the day with my shirt, socks or underwear inside out... Clearly i need the training. Lol

[@irimac1806]

This made me more laugh than i should but at the same time its so relatable xD When i have a migraine incoming and dont realise it (pain threshold went a bit up) and put my socks together I end up wearing blue and brown socks the next day because during an attack my cognitive functions are impaired. The worst is that I have no excuse for wearing one blue and one brown sock. i could have looked at them and bc I have no migraine would have realised the mistake but no. I didnt xD

[@tyrant-den884]

to an extent. wearing armor is NOT like wearing clothes, it does take practice to move around normally and stuff, but not to the same extent of learning swordplay. if someone told you they dedicated their life to the art of _wearing_ platemail _really_ well: that is some weeb BS.

[@Morne_]

There's nothing like walking around a store for about twenty minutes before realizing that your hoodie is on backward. How did I make it there without realizing my hood was on the front instead of the back? I'll let you know when I figure it out, but there should have been PLENTY of opportunities for me to notice it. 😂

[@mratkovich]

When you built up your RPG characters physical stats to godlike levels while neglecting magic skills and run into a boss immune to physical damage

[@Graenolf]

and stunning them with magic doesn’t make them temporarily vulnerable to physical damage either 😂

[@seigeengine]

Which is a weird idea in itself, because basically anything that makes you more resistant to damage will make you more resistant to all kinds of damage. Unless magic is like, frying people's brains, it's all about the same.

[@LendriMujina]

I have had this exact thought every single time I've paid a "trainer" in Oblivion and Skyrim. "I give you gold, and I'm supposed to believe that I'm just suddenly and miraculously better at lockpicking/sneaking around/casting destruction spells? Really??" 😂 Maybe I would have been a bit more okay with the trainer function if they added something like a short, skippable cutscene showing your character training. At least then it wouldn't have been such a "wham, bam, thank you ma'am...now get the fuck out" kind of thing. I don't know. Just my take on the function.

[@JuicyBoyClub]

well in morrowind (I don't remember much from training in skyrim or oblivion) time would skip which would imply you being taught the lesson

[@Morne_]

@Juicy Boy Club Ah. I never used trainers in Morrowind, so I was unaware of that being a thing. 😂

[@juliagoetia]

@@Morne_ Duuuude, you been sleeping on the Morrowind skill trainers? I honestly never do a playthrough without them, they are busted af lmao. There's no cap to how many times you can do it so long as you got the gold to pay for it, and eventually gold just stops being a concern at all. Easy way to make those skill requirements for guild promotions.

[@Morne_]

@Juliana McMahan Not so much sleeping on(if I actually understand the meaning of that) as making the decision to not use them. The friend who introduced me to TES told me that trainers almost break the game and make it too easy. I'm not into that as it would more than likely ruin the game for me, so I decided early on that I wouldn't use them.

[@juliagoetia]

@@Morne_ I wouldn't go that far. They can be abused if you are so inclined after you reach a certain threshold of wealth, but you don't *have* to use them like that if you don't want to. They're specifically very useful for getting a really low skill up to the point where it's viable to train it yourself. I'd say the same kind of logic applies to the alchemy skill. You can just completely break the game with alchemy if you are so inclined, but I wouldn't avoid alchemy because of that. I'd just make a note to not cheese the game with it. But I admire your commitment to that kind of play style! Self imposed limitations can be a lot of fun in games like this.
