Although I enjoy constructing the lolquests that cater to your inner id, it’s always nice to balance them out with serious, emotional stuff. Granted, while I’m probably too cynical to feel emotions like love and compassion the way I used to, hopefully I still understand them enough to where the stories resonate with people who do.

So when players like Siempre take screenshots like this, in a way it lets me know that we did something right, because they cared enough to take a photo. After all, this isn’t some tourist who wants a picture with a homeless stoner they’ve mistaken for Matthew McConaughey. No, we’re talking about the heroes of Skyrim. And for all the dragons they’ve slain and the mountains they’ve conquered, I’m glad people feel scenes like this – these ordinary little moments – are something worth preserving.

Here is Siempre‘s Dragonborn and Valgus enjoying a starry night. I suppose this is when Valgus points out a constellation and tells some romantic story about Alindra’s Tears. If it were me, I’d probably interrupt him to mention how the stars aren’t stars but holes in Aetherius and how it’d be kind of funny if some great big monster peeked his eye through said hole, or worse yet a penis. Also, Alindra and the Soldier is a story from Dragon Age, not Elder Scrolls. Seriously Valgus, are we even looking at the same sky? And now I’ve spoiled the mood.
