1-5 for the ‘ask me about video games’ post.

Answering a couple of these again 🙂

1. Favorite video game?

Skyrim!!!!!!!!

2. First console you owned?

This is both going to make me sound old and also (for my age) way behind the times. My first console was a Nintendo Gamecube. (I played a lot more PC games before I got that. I received the Gamecube as a wedding present.)

3. A game that holds a special place in your heart?

The original Sims. It was the second online community in which I found friends (some of whom are still Facebook friends, [mumble] years later!)

4. Favorite video game character?

Still kind of have to say whatever character(s) I’m playing at the moment in Skyrim, so…right now it’s Flutica Propiona, my imperial bard ship’s captain lady 🙂

5. Least favorite video game character?

Yeah, still Kreia. I also really enjoyed taking Lord Lucien down. Fuck that guy. He killed my dog.

Link to questions here!

5, 10, 15, 20 for the video game asks!

5: Least favorite video game character?

Kreia. Quit mysterious-mentoring me and get to the frigging point already.

10: Hardest video game you’ve played?

Hmm. I’m tempted to say Fable III, because it was literally so hard to play it when the fps was like running in molasses that I never finished it. 😛 But from a gameplay standpoint, I don’t tend to play games that I find superduper challenging, because I don’t find that very fun. In that vein, probably Star Wars: Battlefront (gave up after a couple missions).

15: answered in previous post 🙂

20: How often do you use cheats?

I used rosebud and klapacious ALLLLLLLLLL the time in the original Sims. XD. In Morrowind I don’t think I cheated very often…in Oblivion I definitely console coded some extra gold to buy modded armors…and in Skyrim, I’ve given myself extra gold, crafting ingredients, specific items I want; brought followers into places they’re really not supposed to go (Soul Cairn, Nightcaller Temple, etc.); and…killed some NPCs that simply Would Not Die and/or kept one-shotting me. 😛 I don’t do the first variety very often, typically only when I’m a bit short on ingredients while I’m already standing at the forge and my stash is across the continent. I do bring followers with me pretty much everywhere I can, because they’re my buddies and we’re a party! And the kill code…I do it more on Flutica because her crossbow is still relatively weak and sometimes NPCs regenerate health faster than she can take them down. But I think I’ve only done it a couple of times in the past month. XD

1, 4, 15, 24!

1:Favorite video game?

Skyrim, no question. The amount of hours logged on Seam attests to that, too.

4:Favorite video game character?

Whoever I’m playing in Skyrim at the moment? XD That’s surprisingly tough. I would say Reaver from Fable II (…and III…I never finished that game though), Carth from KOTOR, and a whole passel of people from TES. I have soft spots for my College of Winterhold classmates in particular, though I’ve only ever traveled with Brelyna very much.

15: Video game character you wish you could meet in real life?

Queen Barenziah. All the history she’s seen and been a part of! The scheming she’s perpetrated!

24: Hardest boss fight you’ve been in?

The final battle in the Shroud raid on DDO, against Arretrikos. I die a lot in there.

Most memorable gaming moment?

There are SO many to choose from, but probably the one that stands out the most was the first time Mazurga got chomped by a dragon in Skyrim. I did NOT expect it at all, and it made me crack up for like five minutes afterward. It has very rarely happened to my characters ever since, but I do occasionally see a hapless guard get nommed on.

List of questions is here!
