PD: Really love how "dragons" looks in Skyrim.
:hearnoevil: yourself.

They've been looking this way in TES since at least Redguard.
I've never been a fan of Wyvern style Dragon anatomy but at least they are staying consistent:

tl;dr:
Do you get to the Clown District very often? Oh, what am I saying - you live there.

Arguing that Bethesda got dragon designs 'wrong' because they have two legs instead of four is the height of autistic nit-picking. You're arguing about the 'correct' depiction of a fucking fictitious creature whose appearance in medieval folklore worldwide has never been commonly agreed upon beyond "giant serpent", with varying amounts of heads, legs, and even with or without wings.

I think Skyrim is banalshitboring, but even I don't stoop to using that argument as a justification for shitting on the game.

counts DraQ's legs

Yeah but you gotta agree 4-legged dragons look better than those bat looking things.

Standard shit youtuber millenial that intonates every sentence like it's a question and spews out unadulterated garbage like it's the ultimate truth. i.e. Skyrim's target audience

This whole stealth archer meme has been going around for years but the only enemy I've ever shot in stealth mode is that bear in the opening cave.

Plenty of bad advice there, like suggesting a vanilla playthrough is even worthwhile.
He seems to suggest it's good for enjoying it for what it is - sounds about right to me when it comes to vanilla Skyrim.
:martini:

Mentions how all the good mods on PC anyway too (but neglects to say that many of them are not SE compatible so far).

Also LOL at how kill anims seem to lag in the vid - the guy slashes a draugr, there is a good portion of second when nothing happens, then suddenly the draugr folds up violently as it remembers that it should react to the impact.
