I've had an odd experience with Skyrim.
On friday, two of my friends were kicked out of the house they were going to play Skyrim at because their mother found a bong. Turns out they were stuck in town with nowhere to go. I was supposed to be going somewhere at this point, but invited them over to sit and play it under the guidelines that they don't drink or eat anything while I was out.
I had a crappy time going out, and came back to find them still a-playin. And they kept playing through Saturday, and now it's noon on Sunday and I've told them they have an hour to get the fuck out.
The game itself is wonderful, very engrossing. While I was cooking dinner for everyone on Friday, they were just fighting the Dragon that gives you your first shout ability. I was commenting on this, but my comment was cut off by the simmering food behind me.
A few hours later they were speaking to some Gaybeards about some sort of magical pelvic thrust that launches you twelve feet forward. Might have been another shout. I was busy doing a safety course on the internet to find myself a job, but it seemed pretty cool.
Then they tried to fight a giant, and died.
Then they tried to fight a mammoth, and died.
Then they tried to fight their own horse, and died.
Then (or possibly before, time is kinda melding together into one cheeto-odoured weekend at this point) they went to do some mission with a Golden claw. You know the one. You also know that door you have to open in the first dungeon full of Draugr with said claw? They spent ten minutes trying to figure that door out before I calmly walked in and solved it on my first try, plate of French Fries in hand. Ridiculous.
Anyway, I've been hosting these two idiots for over two days and I just feel like pointing out that the game is very much fun. Truly enthralling and the game world is INCREDIBLE in just how humungous it is. The brief chance at playing I've had I created an Orc named 'Mr. Beefy'. We've been playing it on my 360, so I don't have a screenshot, but needless to say his jaw actually clips out of helmets it's so bulbous and gingivitis infected.
On a side note, I don't understand this fucking mentality of trying to steal every goddamn thing from people in stores or homes when the people are RIGHT THERE, WATCHING YOU, OVER AND OVER AND OVER. But maybe I'm just not good at games like this.

Okay, here something that is pissing me off. I'm doing the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller and i'm at the end where you give the greybeards the horn and learn the final shout phrase. well... after i gave the guy the horn he just stands there after telling me to follow him. I tried reloading, talking to all of the other greybeards, waiting, and nothing. He just stands there and they won't tell me the phrase. Anybody else having this problem?

This happened more than once while I was fighting off robbers so my friends could keep playing. I've if you're stuck in a loop using the FOOSH! shout to knock the Gaybeards around a bit might get them back into proper scripted behaviour.
