You know, at times I wonder how there are beggars in Skyrim with how much can be gotten out of a single haul.  Especially those that train skills.  Just get them to go through a dungeon in one group, skill trainers providing tactics to get weapons off of the enemies by disarming via a swarm tactic, repeating until you've armed the whole group.

Give beggar 10k gold, still a beggar.

Skyrim logic.

In Elder Scrolls, being a beggar is a profession and a lifestyle. Not something that just happens because of reasons. :v

Yes, there's actually a basis for it - the most common cause is that at some point, Namira took an interest in them and cursed them to be a beggar. See: "Beggar Prince".

The book could have been written by an Unreliable Narrator.
Which seem to be quite common in the Elder Scrolls lore lately.:v

Found this amazing NPC from Immersive NPCs. Some guy living in a shack out in the middle of nowhere. Start talking to him and he starts rattling off these insane conspiracy theories about the Emperor, Ulfric Stormcloak, ect...

Pretty sure it was intended as a joke about TES Lore discussions.

Please, please use etc. instead of ect. The original phrase is "et cetera" from Latin. Et = "and," Cetera = "the rest," which makes "ect" an incorrect spelling.
Not trying to be a jerk or super grammar nazi elitist here, it just honestly bothers me when this is spelled wrong and I feel duty-bound to correct it.

Thank you for listening and furthering your understand of English/Latin. I take my leave now. *Tips hat*

Please don't hate me I just love the English language I'm sorry

Actually, you kinda are. Posting to tell me how to write something true to the original Latin instead of its more common everyday use is pretty much the definition of a language nazi.

[Graknorke]

Since when was "ect" more common to everyday use? I mean, it might be everyday if you spell it wrong every day...

[Putnam]

Yeah, etc. is used more often. "ect" is basically a typo.

[nenjin]

It's ect. plus some trailing ellipses.

day...

Like that.

Sorry, next time I'll make sure to get that extra . in there.

[Graknorke]

I am reasonably certain that you're still wrong. What would that even mean?

I suppose the exact same thing your sentence meant, only with et cetera at the end. If you guys care this much, can you make another thread for it?

[Ultimuh]

This please.
Let this thread remain about Skyrim and not how certain words are or aren't spelt.
You guys are making M'aiq sad.

I restarted as a Dark Elf mage a week or so ago.
I can't wait until I learn Lightningbolt, because I already have Dual Wield Destruction...

It's always so fun...

[SOLDIER First]

Lightningbolt with high Destruction + skeleton = what skeleton? All I see is a discarded femur.

It's a huge waste of Magicka to Dual Cast it but I loved it so much.

And the best part is how lightning magic sends physics objects (especially corpses) flying off at a million miles an hour. Skeletons literally exploding after a single jolt.

And flying objects actually do damage, so the skeletons explode and cause damage.
