Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Lydia, oh Lydia, say have you seen Lydia, oh Lydia my pack mule lady

I just picked up a perk where my attacks no longer hurt my companions, so time to let 'er rip!

I tried playing this for the first time a couple weeks ago but didn't get very far. It's very pretty but it also makes me very anxious playing it! Maybe I'm not cut out for CRPGs.

lol i get that a lot, i don't think playing stealthy helps

Every time I come back to this after an extended absence, I'm all like, 'this is one of the best games ever, why would I ever take an extended absence from playing it,' and I'll have a good ol' time for a couple of hours and then the game will inevitably freeze up for no goddamn reason and I'll lose all of the progress I've made in the couple of hours I've been playing and then I'm all like, 'ohhhhh, yeah, this is why I take extended absences from playing it.'

(FTR, I'm pretty sure I turned off autosave because I read somewhere that the autosave function increases the likelihood of random freezeouts, but the failing to manually save is I guess all hubris on my part. But seriously, the brokenness of this game is only just slightly outweighed by its awesomeness.)
