Journey of the Dovahkiin: run like a pussy


My hardest fight so far took place while exploring this dungeon. When I say fight I meant "run away as fast as possible" since I came face to face with a Master Vampire, a foe which I'm sure I shouldn't be facing yet. From past experience playing other sandbox RPGs, the occasional unassailable enemy is to be expected.


It was at a certain point before I realised Mr undead was way out of my league, that point being when my health was getting worringly low. So I ran like a pussy, trying to set off fire traps behind me. I looked back and Mr undead was still on my heels, pale and muderous as ever. Why did I even think that would work? I had drained all my magicka throwing firebolts at him already. Stamina low and slowing down, I dropped off the nearest edge and prayed. Ah, but the gods abandoned me when I needed them most.

Like a deadlier version of Groundhog Day, I had saved my game at a bad point, slap bang just before Mr undead. So, a change to my tactic. This time it would be "run away as fast as possible and slam the doors behind me", a tactic which worked really well.
