Anyways, they gave me a bunch of base points plus about 15 unallocated ones, which I mostly dumped into Strength. I also promptly made myself a ginger. Because all of the guys with gray hair looked like an anorexic Gandalf.
Soon after some dead chick showed up and told me a bunch of stuff primarily about how there's a key to the north (or something) and then I have to go south and west to escape the dungeon (or something) Llendys was rather :gator: about the whole situation, because he's a Dunmer and as such really just wants to go back home so he can ride guars around and eat horses and stuff.
I also discover a key. It takes poor Llendys about five minutes to figure out how to pick it up because I guess he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer...
Llendys heads out into the unknown. It appears that someone has left a bunch of junk just lying around in the dungeon. What a shame! I'm sure no one will mind if I just, you know, borrow it.
Now Llendys is one ballin' mer. Apparently he had a broadsword hanging around too, which no one thought to take from him when they tossed him in the dungeon.
Totally ready to go attack spiders and whatever else is in starter dungeons. :smug:
I begin heading west as Princess :blahblah: Organa told me to do, and soon hear some horrifying zombie noises emanating from the walls. But it turns out it's only...
So not only did they toss you down here with a honkin' big sword in hand, they also left a key which is both the literal key to your freedom and made of ruby just lying right there in your cell.
I... I fear the Empire may need to invest some more in educating its dungeon builders and guards.

After my little adventure with the rats I decided it was time to rest. This went well until, in typical Elder Scrolls fashion, I got a little popup box:
(at least I didn't have Tuberculosis anymore when I respawned :shobon: )

That chick looks like she has inbred little flipper hands or something, but I think it's meant to be flowing pieces of her cloak billowing in the wind.

A ruby key? You sure have rich jailers.

I'm guessing those Imperials have all sorts of money lying around. Damn Cyrodiil bastards :argh:
I run around killing goblins and rats and trying to find someplace to rest and heal. I am unsuccessful in this endeavor, but at SOME POINT, something happened!:
At some point the above occurs in the middle of resting. My first thought was that I had DIED IN MY SLEEP http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ps429d7327.gif but it turns out I was just having some sort of vision or something? Dead Chick, please.
After my dream, I continue exploring. I round a corner and...
There are all manner of wolves, lizardmen, goblins, wizards, and so on wandering around the town at night like they own the place. On the upside they've dropped some phat lewt, and now I look like Aquaman.
I keep stumbling across these mysterious ladies, though. I wonder what THEY'RE doing out so late at night? They'd best go in before they run across a wizard, or worse, catch cold! http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ps1e0d1059.png
Eventually, though, one of them directs me to an inn, and I succeed in getting a good night's sleep on what appears to be a bed made out of solid concrete.
I genuinely thought the town was underground for a second, the complete absence of any sort of skybox at night is simply darling :kaoclove:
I guess if the streets are crawling with all kinds of asshole monsters it does make sense to close for the night, though? Maybe they should pay their taxes so the city can pay the guards to patrol, or better yet institute social programs that prevent disadvantaged lizardmen and goblins turning to lives of crime in the first place.

"Dark Elf? Ew. Sorry, I only whore out to respectable clientelle that walk around at night. So, lizardmen, werewolves, goblins, that sort of thing."

I woke up the next morning, went outside, and was promptly greeted with the beautiful sight of... fog, because there is no skybox.
Look at this beefy guy :whoa: He's going to spend SEVEN FECKIN DAYS repairing my broadsword. Fortunately I'm rolling in dough :smug: allowing me to just buy a new one in the interim.
NOW LET'S GO DUNGEON DIVING OR SOMETHING :mwahaha:
I decided that maybe it's time to look into the Main Quest. Dead Chick said I had to find Fang Lair, didn't she? I snagged someone and asked where that was.
She's the queen and I don't even think she's a proper Redguard :colbert: (if she was, she wouldn't be wearing anything, clearly :doublecolbert:) Breton National Party please go.
FULL GRIMDARK (as an aside you guys aren't getting the full effect of this dungeon because it's filled with spooky zombie noises and mysterious opening doors and trout)
He battles a variety of things including some skeletons (who are a pain in the arse), zombie ghoul monsters (who are an even bigger pain in the arse and actually do me in a couple of times), and finally...
I scoured the entire first floor of this dungeon and found a buttload of skeletons and some loot (which conveniently respawns when you exit and re-enter the dungeon :holmes: ) There are mine shafts which head deep underground, but I haven't explored those yet! Perhaps that should be my next plan of action, however. :plotting:

I feel nostalgic looking at this. I've never played TES1, but I did play a similar early 3D dungeon crawler called Eye of the Beholder (ADVANCED DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS: Eye of the Beholder no less!) with skeletons and everything in my youth.

Got ambushed by these spiders. They decided to paralyze me (which makes it so I can't attack :( )and also do quite a number on me in damage. I used about a million potions and managed to pull through alright :shobon: Feckin' lot of potions I had to use, though. look at me almost dead there.
It takes me roughly ten minutes to pick up the key. You cannot make your character look down (I suppose Llendys has some sort of neck condition), so lining up your cursor with this thing while still being in range is an exercise is patience.
Not being able to look down seems rather painful :(

BEHOLD THE TRIUMPHANT RETURN :mwahaha: It's been a month but I am back!
Now there is something I feel you all need to be aware of: I have hardly gotten any sleep for the last 48 hours. I just moved and my cat is going insane and keeping me up all night. So upon seeing this question I sort of just stared at it blankly for a few moments before reading it to Mister Adequate, who promptly told me the answer within seconds :redface: It's "gloves", by the way!
Into the door I go! And am promptly one-shotted, by... well, I don't know what, actually.
Upon respawning I wandered inside again! And was killed, again!
Okay... well... I guess I'd better get to it then...
I decide to take a quick rest first for the long journey back up to the surface, so I send Llendys to the corner for a nap. Naps are uneventful, right?
I wake up from this vision and it turns out that Jagar Tharn himself has sent a mage after me! Unfortunately for him this so-called assassin was no match for me :smug: After all, you know what they say...
Such praise! :3: She goes on to inform me that Jagar Tharn probably thinks I am dead (joke's on him :joker:) and that the second staff piece's location is in some sort of ice fortress up north.
Anyways, it's time to start bumbling around trying to work my way out of this dungeon. I get some loot! And apparently I am a human of some sort now, according to the graphic. THANKS OBAMA :nonono:
Then it's time to go repair and sell a bunch of loot. (Someone remind me to pick up my magical healing ring later, it's gonna take the guy seven freaking in-game days to repair it and I know I'm going to forget.)
In the meantime I went to go pick up some healing potions but the Mages' Guild is mysteriously empty and devoid of all wizards and shopkeepers...
