I just survived a fight with an elder dragon, dragon priest, and a frost dragon.

I wouldn't say the Tribunal mantled anybody. They didn't act like or try to be Azura, Boethiah, or Mephala, they just kind of marginalized them in Dunmer belief.

That's pretty much what mantling is. Taking somebody's metaphysical place in the mythology. Taking up their mantle. It doesn't need to involve literally becoming your predecessor to 100% - for example, Talos is a clearly separate entity from Lorkhan, and the Tsaesci are definitely not humans.

I like how it also refers to climbing up onto something. Although perhaps it should have made the stepping-upon more clear, as in the shoulder stand climbing technique.

They still acknowledged them in the mythology. They didn't replace them, per-se, just sidelined them.

Hey guys. Anyone got any hilarious builds I could use? I only have Skyrim on PS3, so mods are a no-go.

[umiman]

What is Vanilla Skyrim even like? I can't even recall.

I'm pretty sure it has swords in it. Oh! And arrows.

Hi! I posted this in the EVE thread! SURPRISE! It auto went to skyrim for some reason.

Anyway I'll put something on topic...what is vanilla skyrim? Never heard of it. All I know is the console skyrim and modded skyrim

[WillowLuman]

I played almost entirely vanilla gameplay with graphical improvement mods. It's mostly based on hitting people hard then shouting their bodies into hilarious poses.

[Putnam]

Or just stealth archery.

[WillowLuman]

Archering people really hard from the shadows then shouting their bodies into hilarious positions.

The main thing with high elves is that they get explosions. So ha.

God, I'm such a bad case of That Guy. I want to correct that so, so badly.

Oh, yeah, there are just those hilariously wrong minor things like everything about Redguards.

EDIT: I just remembered that Sermon 22 of the 36 Lessons suggests that Vivec is the Night Mother. Vivec's a jerk.

I believe you mean magnificent troll.

Also, that link you posted above isn't serious, right? Right? (Possibility of sarcastic question is high here)


EDIT: Addendum, I have actually been asked in a serious manner by people if I knew about "Skyrim Online".
