h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A bleeding mystery - the Jemane brothers have gone missing on my current character *sratches head* But where to? And the console command isn't of any use either - it's as if they never existed

After finally understanding how to play the speechcraft mini-game I'm now amusing myself with charming all the city guards. I didn't quite realise just how many different guards there are - I'm *still* coming acrosa uncharmed ones.

'This humble legion soldier greets you. How can I help you, good citizen?' Wow, never been treated so politely by the city guards before

acrosa? across!

Finally found the Jemane brothers again - they had gotten stuck inside Castle Anvil, in a 'behind the scenes' scenario. I'll have to be more careful about where I leave them waiting.

Imperial Watch city guard to me when I address him:

'"When I speak to someone like you - a noble citizen of the Empire - it reminds me what I'm fighting for. I salute you!'

I've really got them wrapped around my little finger, haven't I?

'When I see someone like you, a noble citizen of the Empire, it reminds me what I'm fighting for. I salute you.'

*wiggles little finger*

'You have ascended to level 17. Life isn't over. You can still get smarter, or cleverer, or more experienced, or meaner... but your body and soul just aren't going to get any younger.'

Oi! I'm getting too close to 50 to enjoy that kind of statement!

Holy crap - Lucien really surprised me this time, because I wasn't aware of having murdered anyone!

Meanwhile, I'm drooling over these videos of Skyrim:

Oh, and the thing I love about Oblviion and hope to see in Skyrim is to see the endless ways you can create and shape your character. And the way your attunement decides how NPCs will respnd to you, ranging from 'I like what I see' to 'You're despiccable!'

I just want them to release the bloody specs for Skyrim so I know whether I can play it or not!

And what if you can't? Then what?

Then I bitterly keep playing Oblivion until the Daedra are sick of the sight of me!

I guess that'll be the point where I start saving up for upgrades.

I do hope Skyrim will be available as a download, because I still haven't gotten around to replacing my broken CD player. Last time I had a look inside (while switching the graphics card) I couldn't see how to take out the broken player (a CD broke into hundreds of tiny splinters while playing).

Created yet another character, because I still enjoy exploring the different races and classes (not to mention personalities) - and might I say what a stroke of genius it was to let 'Captain Picard' do the voice of the emperor

8 Fame, 0 Infamy but a bounty of 40 gold - hmmm, how did my current character manage that? No more flirting with the guards then, until she's a member of the thieves' guild and can pay the fines off at half the price...

Got to love Druja at the Mages' Guild in Skingrad:

'You want something? Or you just practicing your Cyrodilic?'

I completed the main quest! And now I'm doing one up near Bruma that I've never done before!

Yesterday, I came across a NPC I've never seen before - this game constantly offers new experiences - and I love it!

Is this the first time you've done the main quest? If so, be very, very afraid...

During the first play of last bit the game went buggy and Martin disappeared. So I decided to play with console commands...

If you use the 'kill' command on Mehrunes Dagon it sort of melts because, obviously, they never made a normal death animation for it.
