On cliffs and horses...

So I’m playing Skyrim and since discovering ‘fast travel’ actually takes longer to go from A to B than it does me travelling manually, I ride everywhere. (Which makes Solstheim really annoying to traverse, but eh).

Anyway, I’ve found that by galloping up a slightly angled cliff face, I can make it so the horse doesn’t enter freefall and sometimes even GAIN altitude when travelling along said cliff.

So since it’s such a round-about way from Whiterun to High Hrothgar, I thought I might try this technique to cut a corner or two en route to Ivarstead. All was going well for the first five minutes, when suddenly the horse ‘slips’ (my mouse angles out too far and my character isn’t directly facing the cliff’s slope anymore) and then the horse enters freefall.

It dies, and the player character slips past it, bounces off a rock and continues to ‘ragdoll’. This keeps happening for a solid minute, until they FINALLY reach solid, even ground and there’s an undiscovered chest there too.

Of course, no armour or perks would save someone from a fall from that height, so I had to start all over again from Whiterun’s gate. Ah well. :”D

Another remix from Aether, this time of Ginungagap’s Boss Battle theme~.

Okay but what about an AU where there is no malady and instead the Forest Folk (EVENTUALLY) become friends with humans ala IV's Vessels and a Cruella teaches Dark Hunters a skill or there's an intense rivalry between the two until plot happens or you have Diabolix or Forest Soldiers randomly turning up to the guild hall wanting to join a guild? And flustered guildmaster because even DHunters wear (not enough) clothes)

Or some decide to pack their things and leave the labyrinth and end up in armoroad and become the first wildlings? Or a forest demon goes to (TGDO) High Lagaard and confuses the heck out of the bird people? Or a pixie moving into the Misty Ravine and tricking hollows into thinking it's a vessel??

Okay, but what if the whole 'Fafnir' thing is just the protag's class' burst skill?

Since it's EOII and all.

Update: I have since seen the gameplay trailer from that Nintendo Direct.

I've come to the conclusion 7th Dragon is the result of a one-night stand between Etrian Odyssey and Final Fantasy.

I mean the guild concepts, combat and the skill dynamics all scream EO (and for good reason, given the staff), but otherwise the plot and the general structure of the overworld feel more inline with something out of FF.

7th Dragon is still an interesting game, though now that I'm getting into it I find I'm disagreeing with how it was marketed in the EO tag. Ah well.

Now that I know how "Iwaoropenelep" (Eee-wah-ore-oh-pen-el-lep) is pronounced, it keeps getting stuck in my head.

Also:

- Ig-dra-zil

- Ta-la-ta-ca

- Core-oh-ta-rarn-gool

On the bright side, Iwaoropenelep is rapidly becoming my new favourite word. Hehe
