Here’s a screenshot from DeviantArt user SeventhLife of Bear-Foot Froa. Hooray puns. I honestly forgot what hairstyle I gave her, but it appears to be what Viridiane calls the “villager” look. Which makes sense since she’s a no frills, no shoes kind of gal.
Brakh‘s an archer by trade, but it’s not like he’s completely helpless with a sword and board, as evidenced by this screenie. Especially when that board has spikes on it.
Now, I wasn’t aware Orcs used actual boards as shields, but I imagine it would be fun to carve messages in the wood like “CAUTION: ORC” and “YOU SHALL NOT PASS” and “ELISIF + ULFRIC” with a little heart around it. I would just put some words in very small print, maybe an eye chart, something your foes have to squint to read and it’s only then they realize it says “LOOK OUT!” but at this point the warning is just a courtesy because they’re already dead.
When you have nothing but a knife, some wood, and free time, these are the things you do.
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.
