When single player doesn't mean solo

The longer I play Skyrim, the more I realize I can't do everything in it alone. This is troubling, mainly because I am terrible at not hitting my buddy in close quarters combat. Also, as a quiet, sneaky type my most logical choice in pals would be a big, crunchy type. But many of the big, crunchy types make so much noise that I get spotted too, ( Read more... )

I am terrible at not hitting my buddy in close quarters combat

Oh my, *me too!* I was *so* glad when I didn't get flack from my squadmates in ME for shooting near them; it was quite unpleasant to have them yell at me occasionally in ME2 because they'd *gotten in the way of the shot I was very clearly about to take*. At least it didn't hurt them.

Farkas sounds quite lovely, all things considered. I rather like his way of dealing with people who say he isn't smart: "Okay, fine I may not be, but you're way stupider since you just told the big guy who can punch you that he's not smart." :D

He's downright adorable, actually. I went to him the other day looking for more work and the exchange went something like this-

Mwamba: Got any work for me?
Farkas: There's always something coming in.
Mwamba: You feeling all right, Lump? You seem a bit down.
Farkas: *sniffle* I don't wanna be a werewolf anymore. I wanna go to Valhalla when I die, not some limbo.
Mwamba: Aww, that's OK, Lump. Let's go fix your werewolfiness. Got a severed head in my bag already and everything.
Farkas: For reals?
Mwamba: For reals.
Farkas: You're the bestestest, Kitty lady. <3 ( ... )

So now his twin brother, the thinner, angrier one, decided he didn't want to be a werewolf anymore, either. And once you get hitched, apparently your mate becomes Susie Homemaker, and won't quest with me anymore. And I'm realizing how buggy this game can be. I spent an hour trying to fight a dragon that was alternately flying backwards, in fast forwards, and hovering in one place. When I gave up on that, I decided to try married questing with Farkas homed in Jorrvaskr, but apparently he processed that as *I* was his home, and when we walked into a crime scene, which I could buy later, declared it to be a good house, and said that he was going to open up a shop. Silly Farkas.
