Hey guys! Here's another thing I did with Skyrim last night. This particular adventure involved getting blackout drunk in The Bannered Mare tavern.
Now, I don't know what constitutes spoilers, but this MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS. Truth be told, it's a five minute video of me starting a sidequest, making some stupid jokes, and then not finishing it.
(I know some hardcore Elder Scrolls fans consider a screenshot of a horse to be a spoiler, but they also consider me their sworn enemy because I haven't performed a bloodletting ceremony of my firstborn to honor Todd Howard's greatness.)

Can we get a skyrim free feed? Jesus Christ I was still tossing up weather to pick it up but now I'm so over saturated I don't want to hear the fucking name again.
Should I be concerned that I'm sitting in a bar getting drunk to kill the time till skyrim comes out so I van do this very same thing. Drunk. I really like my bar tender and I am imagining her as my tender in skyrim. She wants to help me kill the dragon.
that was rather unimaginative...
so you have no control over what your character does while drunk? that is nothing like real life and seems terribly ill considered.
judging by past elder scrolls games, I would have expected something much more interesting, like messages on the screen duping you into believing that you had gained invincibility buffs or taking away the indication that items are not yours making you steal without realising it, altering NPC dialogue to make you believe they are saying things that they actually aren't, etc.

During a fit of drunken yelling, I once summoned a friendly dragon who gave me a bath.
"I am Dovaclean!"
You end up taking the fat dragon home
Gimme some more of that sweet delicious Skyrim milk.
