One fateful afternoon, a khajiit by the name of Tuna picked the wrong caravan to waylay. This was an orc caravan escorting princess Hog-Tooth who was betrothed to the mighty Duke Skunkface. Tuna, having a keen eye, was infamous for his arrow-in-the-knee robberies. One arrow was enough to incapacitate his victims while he rummaged through their belongings looking for gold, jewels, and apples (he loves apples).
Tuna picked the biggest, baddest looking orc and let fly his sharpest arrow. The princess gave out a holler. Apparently an arrow in the knee was not on her wedding registry. After wrenching out the blasted protrusion she glanced above and saw a lanky cat giggling in the trees. She dismounted from her steed and roundhouse kicked the base of the trunk. This sent Tuna tumbling down hitting every branch along the way.
When he awoke he was bound and on a cart ride to his doom. He didn't understand anything about Ulfric this or Imperials that but he knew a chopping block when he sees one. Thankfully a dragon was having none of this and Tuna scrambled away.
That's the story so far! I've made it to the first village and started a quest to go into a local barrow (where I died because I'm still getting used to the button layout). I do enjoy archery. I can usually get two or three shots in on a melee enemy before I have to draw a sword. By then their health is already down quite a bit. I don't know how much damage it'll do later on but we'll see.
It's strange how they've stacked all the weapons. Like axes, short swords, and long swords are all in the same skill set? Overly simplified compared to previous entries but maybe it'll be fun to swap out what I'm using.
