At the risk of getting political, we at Roommates! stand in solidarity with the students at UC Davis. Regardless of what they were protesting, the use of violence against peaceful protesters must never be condoned. Not in California, not in New York, not in Egypt, nor anywhere else.
Anyhow, on to Skyrim
While playing the other day, I was contracted to kill a woman at her wedding. Usually I'm a pretty stealthy character, but I was to kill her in public, and there was no way I could remain undetected at my current level. So I shot her in the neck, paid my 1000 gold, and went on my merry way, with nary another word from any NPC's. From a gameplay perspective, it makes sense not to punish a player too much for murder. Murders may well happen by accident, and a more realistic punishment basically sullies the game and deters players from acting how they otherwise would. But Skyrim is so incredibly immersive that such a lack of fucks given by the NPC's is pretty surprising. We decided to explore the hypothetical in today's strip, with a nod to current events.
That said, if the above is my biggest criticism with the game, they are obviously doing pretty much everything right.
you were suppose to push the stone that was above her to kill her without being seen :)
