The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Is the Emperor a craven appeaser, who doesn't care what happens to his people as long as he can hold some power for himself? Is he a good man and a political realist, who signed the White-Gold Concordat to buy time for the Legion to recover? Is he simply an unremarkable person in an age that demands heroes? {{spoiler|His [[Face Death with Dignity|behavior during the final mission of the Dark Brotherhood plotline]] shows that, whatever else he may be, he is ''definitely'' not a coward}}.

** Is Ulfric Stormcloak a revolutionary hero who wants to restore Skyrim to its former glory, a power-hungry tyrant interested only in taking the throne, or a [[Stupid Good]] rebel who doesn't realize the long-term consequences of his actions? Just how controlled was he by {{spoiler|the Dominion}}? Is he the kind of guy who thinks that, for anyone who died fighting the Thalmor, it was their own fault for being too weak and un-Nord-like to survive?

** Amaund Motierre. {{spoiler|Is he, as Astrid suggests, trying to get the Emperor assassinated to better his own position within the Elder Council or could it be a more collective feeling calling for desperate measures in desperate times? The Emperor seems to be aware of harsh opposition amongst his political elite. Is he really ruling ''that'' badly? Not to mention how, after the deed is done, Motierre seems to genuinely believe that the Emperor's death has "saved" the Empire.}}.

** Paarthurnax. {{spoiler|Is he a genuine [[The Atoner|atoner]] who will (attempt to) lead the dragons to a peaceful future, or a very patient and manipulative [[The Starscream|Starscream]] with a [[Meaningful Name]]?}}? Is this a case of [[Blue and Orange Morality]], or perhaps of a [[Deathbringer the Adorable|forsaken namesake]]?

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9eGtyqz4gY Holy Shit! What is this? Forged in God's very flames!]!

** After completing a few Dark Brotherhood quests, {{spoiler|you gain the ability to summon a spectral assassin to help you. Guess who that assassin is? Lucien Lachance, still voiced by Wes Johnson!}}!

** The ''Dawnguard'' announcement trailer and other material. Frost Giants, dragons that can dive under ice, master vampires, crossbows, spears, and a fascinating slew of new locations (including Oblivion!). In addition, there are also new perk trees, including ones for both werewolves and vampires, as well as options to change character appearance, new Thu'um shouts, and dragonbone weaponry.

** Bethesda Boss Syndrome hits twice in during the main quest. The only plot relevant Dragon Priest (extremely powerful undead sorcerer) is easily the weakest of them all, and Alduin only appears to differ from the elite Ancient Dragons by having a few more hitpoints. Its even worse during the final battle {{spoiler|in the afterlife}}, since you are assisted by {{spoiler|the souls of three legendary Nord warriors}}.

** [http://youtu.be/1sx02mAkLLc All hail the glorious dead.].

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BHKLVr_Cxw Under your voice they will cower!]!

** Here's a gorgeous vocal and guitar cover of ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj-MDRkh4x0 Tale of the Tongues]''.

** The Thalmor are [[The Scrappy|hated for the most part.]]. However, they also have a small but vocal fanbase that thinks that they're within their right to do all the terrible things they do and admire them for a multitude of reasons: for consisting of lots of good looking High Elves, fancy robes, and for being very efficient conquerors.

* [[Broken Base]]: Winning the Game & Developer of The Year awards at the Spike VGAs: - Youyou either thought they were deserved, or absolutely dumbfounded that the team which released a game that was borderline unplayable on one of the formats it was released on won these awards over other deserving titles and developers.

** As usual for the ''Elder Scrolls'', it's possible for your character to be such a monster that he/she puts the [[Big Bad]] to shame.

** One of the named Dragon Priests (Rahgot) {{spoiler|''ritualistically mass murdered'' '''children''', just so his tomb would have undead to defend it once he died. He also had one of his own followers brutally murdered just because she questioned him.}}. Another one by the name of Hevnoraak had a very compelling voice and used it to gather a group of followers, and used his voice to torture them, knowing that they'd have no way to fight back due to his voice's strength.

** In the Thieves Guild questline, {{spoiler|Mercer Frey}} turns out to be this. {{spoiler|He betrayed not only the guild but basically his goddess, murdered his master and friend and then framed the other friend (who was also the first friend's lover) for the crime, then spent years using Nocturnal's stolen artifact to steal all the guild's income while continuing to lie about it the whole time.}}. He also tries to {{spoiler|kill you to keep you from finding out the above... [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|which leads to you finding out the above.]]}}. And to make things worse, he's damn proud of the things he does and sneers at the notion that thieves can have standards when it comes to villainy.

** [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Thonar Silver-Blood]] of the ''Forsworn Conspiracy'' and {{spoiler|''No One Escapes Cidhna Mine''}} quests is slowly revealed to be one. It's one thing that he's the wealthiest man in Markarth and morally ambiguous enough [[The Gulag|he uses prisoners to mine the silver that makes him rich,]], but it really starts hitting when it's relieved that he's {{spoiler|the one that makes the Forsworn Rebellion possible in the first place. To clarify, he manipulates Madanach while he's behind bars to control the Forsworn as a whole. Not because he believes in their cause, but because in return for letting the Forsworn terrorize the Reach he can use the Forsworn to occasionally take care of 'problems.'. If you help him during the assault on the Treasury House, he won't even care if you try to console him over his wife's death and tell you he's going to throw your ass in jail. Then, he has Eltrys murdered for learning 'too much'.}}. He's even knows he's enough of an asshole that you probably don't mean it when you take the dialogue option to {{spoiler|say you're sorry for the loss of wife.}}.

** Giant Sabrecats. 900 pounds of pure muscle and feline fury coupled with a nasty disposition and a tendency for creeping up on you from behind, and even later in the game they can do tremendous amounts of damage (early on they pretty much kill you in a couple swipes). And they are insanely fast for something the size of a bear, too. Given how they are basically sabretooth tigers, it makes sense, but it gets a little ridiculous when Sabrecats are scarier than dragons.

** Pretty much all of the enemies you find inside Dwemer ruins are this. The spiders due to them being [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse|very strong for their size]] and ambushing you from pipes, the sphere guardians due to [[Lightning Bruiser|them being very hard to outrun and hard to take down head-on]], and the centurions due to [[Mighty Glacier|their sheer strength ad toughness,]], and their steam blast

** [[Everything's Worse with Bears|Bears]]. Huge aggro radius that's hard to avoid, runs nearly fast enough to keep up with a sprinting horse, takes as much hurt as it can dole out (IE:i.e. a lot) and ''always'' ends up in the middle of the damn road you want to travel down. Unlike wolves, which howl pretty much as soon as they're aware of you, the bear slothly gets up from its nap silently, by which time you've probably already wandered into its aggro radius. And they're freakin' ''everywhere''. After Unrelenting Force, your most used shout will be Kyne's Peace because of them. Or Animal Allegiance.

** If you are a warrior type, mages that use the Ice Storm spell fall into this category. Ice Storm is a spell that damages your health and stamina, robbing you from your ability to do Power Attacks. It also slows you down, turning you into a sitting duck. To make it worse;: the spell has a huge area of effect, increasing your chance to get hit by it. Hell, mages in general are this in the higher levels. Since spells are damage-locked and not affected by armor (Onlyonly magic resistance, and they're still tough with it), you're able to be quickly pulverized by powerful spells, and are essentially screwed if you run into a group of them without any way to pick them off from a distance or with stealth.

** Elder and Ancient dragons. Just when you're powerful enough to be convinced that Blood and Frost dragons aren't any more of a threat, these bastards show up and start two-shotting you. Hitting them with Dragonrend just puts them on the ground, where they can more easily kill you. (Itit helps to bring a shield along, especially enchanted ones like the Spellbreaker, to defend against their breath blasts and bites, if you don't mind giving up the use of two-handed weapons.).

** Readers on the ''Skyrim'' board at [[GameFAQs]] have also become sick of the Toeh meme spawned there.

** Despite all that the quest/story designers did to make you want to hate the Thalmor (see [[A Nazi by Any Other Name]] in the main page)... some people still inexplicably like the Thalmor, and not in a "love to hate" way.

** Many players feel that the Forsworn are misunderstood freedom fighters working for a just cause to overthrow a government that demonizes them, and wish that they could join ''them'' in the Civil War. Hmm... perhaps it's the raiding, genocide, and implicit rape, cannibalism, and [[Cruelty Rich Leather]] they practice that explains why it's not an option.

** Speaking of the Civil War, expect around half of the player base to do this for the side they support while invoking [[Ron the Death Eater]] on the other. While either side could objectively be viewed as the "right side", they do not come without their flaws either.

** Lydia, again. Most were very disappointed when a minor (and fixable) bug prevented players from marrying her. (Fixedfixed in the 1.5 patch, or by mods on the PC before that.). Bethesda seemed to pick up on this, and ended up fleshing out Lydia's personality more with the ''Dawnguard'' and ''Dragonborn'' to where she's not only more of a smart-ass than she was in the vanilla game (which was only present in one line of dialogue), but to where she warms up to you the more you travel with her.

** The Spectral Assassin, in other words, {{spoiler|Lucien Lachance rides again.}}.

** Brynjolf of the Thieves' Guild. With his accent, friendliness, and tendency to affectionately call your PC lass/lad, so many players were disappointed to find him unmarriable.

** If the kink memes are anything to go by, Ondolemar, Ancano, Nelacar--... really, almost any named male High Elf, likely because of their height, attractiveness, fashion sense, and [[Bastard Boyfriend]]-ish attitudes.

** Not a perfect example due to being a Daedric Prince (Theirtheir morality is vastly different from Tamriel's sentient species), but Nocturnal is certainly this due to being {{spoiler|the patron of the Thieves' Guild.}}.

** And there's the female Forsworn for their choice of clothing: incredibly skimpy [[Fur Bikini|Fur Bikinis]]s.

** [[Welcome to Corneria|I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow in the knee.]].

** The Windshear, a unique sword found aboard {{spoiler|The Katariah}} causes unfailing stagger to EVERY enemy. Even Alduin. This effectively makes melee fighting anyone or anything with one on one combat a guaranteed win.

** According to the Skyrim wiki, your follower is able to pick up a giant's club (as you can't do it yourself). They will be able equip it and and thus be able to inflict over 200 points of damage... The trick is actually finding one, however. This is likely to be patched out, if it hasn't been already.

** Max Conjuration plus perks lets you summon two Dremora Lords at once. For reference, ONE Dremora Lord can kill a Giant in around three hits. This would not be a [[Game Breaker]] if it weren't for the fact that there is a trivially easy way to level Conjuration: Castcast Soul Trap repeatedly on a dead body. Or merely hold a bound weapon in your hands with some hostiles in the area.

** Add in Alchemy, and you can boost your Enchanting and Smithing skills past the 100 limit. Make a potion that boosts the effectiveness of Enchantments, then enchant a few armor pieces with Fortify Alchemy to boost the effectiveness of your brewed potions. Repeat ad infinitum, then make a few Fortify Smithing potions, add the enchantment of the same to some armor pieces, then upgrade your equipment for weapons that do over 100 damage a hit, without any bonuses, and armor pieces with the same in defense, body armor maxing over 200. Then you can add on to them your choice of enchantments, two for each armor piece plus a ring and necklace. Make yourself immune to magic, immune to Frost, Flame and Shock, double the regen rate of your stats or more, etc.

** Once again, the Skeleton Key makes Lockpicking a joke. It just requires a lot of patience. You have to give up the very next quest after getting it, and it's only acquired near the end of the Thieves Guild questline, but there's nothing stopping you from taking your sweet time getting around to it. There's a Lockpicking perk with the same effect, so once you've had your fun with the Skeleton Key and leveled up enough, you can finish the quest and not lose a stitch.

** The Shadow Warrior perk, combined with the damage-boosting sneak attack perks makes you capable of literally walking up to an enemy's face, crouching for a second, and immediately attacking. Shadow Warrior not only makes the player invisible for a second, but completely erases the "Detected" status, making the sneak attack multipliers work even against an enemy standing right in front of you. This means you can one-shot every single enemy in the game if your weapon damage is high enough. If you're using a dagger (and why wouldn't you be, with the 15x sneak damage buff from the Assassin's Blade perk), you'll also usually get the hilarious effect of you ''teleporting behind your enemy'' to slit their throat before they can finish saying "Where are you?".

** Combining all the needed Smithing perks and the appropritate skills of an Assasin (ege.g. the Assasin's perk and the [[Back Stab]] enchantment, which further boost a weapon's damage while sneaking), you can [[One-Hit Kill]] any unit, even Dragons! And if your Sneak skills are at maximum with all the needed perks, you can possibly sneak up to any unit even in broad daylight, and right in clear view of them, and strike them dead in on swipe, and no one will notice.

** Apart from getting a 40/40 from Weekly [[Famitsu]] (the very first western game to get it), ''Skyrim'' seems to be growing in popularity in Japan.

** Conversely, quite a number of western gamers like the Japanese dubbed voices of the game (which for the PC can easily be had by a simple language change), particularly that of {{spoiler|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIhgWaHuUlY Paarthurnax]}}.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x9Qw1KSyIs The Saber Cats seem to be the defining example next to Giants.].

** [http://steamcommunity.com/id/StarSword_C/screenshot/452848015066825877 Who stole the courier's clothes?]?

** Enemy [[NPC|NPCs]]s continuing their yell "YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE COME HERE!" ''after'' you've [[Killed Mid-Sentence|cut their heads off in mid-sentence]].

** Crossed with [[Gender Bender]]: Malemale Dunmer Dovahkiins' grunts sound like those of ''female'' Dunmer in ''Oblivion''.

* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: Wait.... that sounded like wind... rushing past a giant pair of wings? ''By Akatosh, that's a dragon!''

** Did I hear a clicking sound -... ''CHAURUS BY MARA THAT'S A CHAURUS GET IT AWAY!''

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: An in-game book describing the events of ''Oblivion'' takes special care to mention that it was the Mythic Dawn, and not the Dark Brotherhood, who assassinated Uriel Septim. The author even points out that it would have been suicidal for the Brotherhood to have taken out a contract on the Emperor, since it would have brought the whole of the Empire's forces down on them and destroyed them. {{spoiler|Guess what you get to do after joining the Dark Brotherhood in ''Skyrim?''}}?

** Some of the games' major subplots could be finished in an afternoon, and the main quest will take about 20-30 hours. Given that only one or two of these hours is [[Disappointing Last Level]] compared to others in the series... it's probably a bit better that they didn't decide to lengthen the story. Once you finish, however, there's a ''ton'' of sidequests quests, ranging from questlines like the College and Companions to just retrieving an item for someone, and there's also finding all the Words of Power. Even if you don't have a quest to do, the game world is just so deep that you can pick a compass direction and head off into the unknown, you're bound to come across a new tomb or cave you haven't explored yet. Thus, if you're planning to plumb the game for all it has to offer outside the two main story quests, you're going to be spending a lot of time in ''Skyrim''.

** Because of the new random quest system, there are fewer scripted storyline quests for all the questlines compared to previous ''Elder Scrolls'' games, thus it can feel a bit jarring to be proclaimed a trusted and veteran member of your guild and their [[Chosen One]] just shortly after joining. These sorts of [[Pacing Problems]] are particularly obvious with the Companions questline, where one gets to join their Circle of most trusted veteran warriors literally after the initiation and then doing one more quest.

** Lydia quickly became one. Though housecarls in general are pretty tough, Lydia is the one almost every player has. She can survive being hurled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJhDoX9yf3o&feature=related off a mountain.].

** Giants, too, due to a [[Good Bad Bug]] that lets them [[Home Run Hitter|knock players into space with their clubs.]].

** [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|Attacking Lydia, Dragon Shouting Lydia, siccing Lydia on a dragon, watching a giant launch]] [[Butt Monkey|Lydia]] [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|into the air.]]. And then, [[Memetic Badass|watching Lydia get back on her feet.]].

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e55P2XF38O0 People don't want to be sword.].

** "Then I stripped the corpse naked and threw it in the river." has rapidly become the standard ending to any story involving bandits, Thalmor agents, or anyone else a player fights.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_KPvdowTlk Physics?]? [http://i.imgur.com/Xaoka.jpg Bitch, I'm a horse.].

** They're not dragons, they're Wyverns.

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Whether or not various members of the various factions cross it and if so, when, is probably a subject of huge debate... but one thing is for sure: Ifif the player is out for [[One Hundred Percent Completion]] (and sometimes even if they ''aren't''), the ''Dragonborn'' is GOING to cross this. It's only a matter of ''which'' completely irredeemable act is performed first, to catapult the Dovahkiin into [[Complete Monster]] territory--: the Namira, Boethiah, Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon, Mephala, and a smattering of Dark Brotherhood quests are all good candidates.

** {{spoiler|Mercer Frey}} crossed this whenever he {{spoiler|killed his trusted ally Gallus and pinned the blame on his friend's lover Karliah, destroying her life as a way to cover his ass for Gallus' murder.}}.

** Get used to hearing enemy NPCs tell you that ''YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE COME HERE!''.

** "Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying, of course you don't." If you like to spend a lot of time in Whiterun, be prepared to have Nazeem say this every time you pass him by. ''Every.''. ''Time.''.

** When you kill them (Andand it's easy to do, they go down in about one shot), skeletons make a delightful clattering sound when their bones hit the floor.

'''''{{smallcaps|*Wedding*}}''''' }}

** Among the things guards can say to you is "You're like me, eh? Don't fancy those clunky two-handed weapons." They can say this while ''they are holding two-handed weapons''. They can say this when '''''YOU''' are holding two-handed weapons''. This goes for ''any'' skill with high levels, no matter how non-obvious it may be ("Best offense is a good defense, right?" (the message for a high skill in heavy armor) when you are not wearing any heavy armor at all, etc.). Also, guards' [[Mood Whiplash]] towards you, such as first of all greeting you as the Dovahkiin/a Companion, then going straight to being suspicious of you, such as "Go fiddling with any locks around here, and we're going to have a real problem"."

** Peryite's quest, "The Only Cure". You can meet a passive Afflicted early on, which indicates to you that [[The Virus]] in this example ''rots your skin'' somewhat. In the quest itself, {{spoiler|you encounter aggressive Afflicted who can attack you [[The Exorcist|Linda Blair-style]] with ''streams of vomit''.}}. Oh, and the condition is a "blessing" according to Peryite.

** {{spoiler|Namira's Daedric quest}}, where you slaughter a man in cold blood on a rather disturbing-looking altar and then shovel gobs of his raw flesh into your mouth with your bare hands. Then {{spoiler|Namira}} speaks to you and congratulates you for your actions. Notable in that, if you want [[One Hundred Percent Completion]], doing this is ''mandatory''. If, on the other hand, you're not out for 100% completion, you can kill every last one of the cannibals and {{spoiler|get a nice reward from Brother Verulus.}}.

** Dragons can attack you ''anywhere'' where the sky is visible. Even inside cities. Half the time, your only warning that a dragon is about to attack is when it suddenly roars and drops down on you. The other half of the time, they don't even do that. Even in the courtyard of the mage college, in the middle of a thick snowstorm.

** A specific plot instance is {{spoiler|Alduin's soul-snaring mist in Sovngarde. You can't see him, and it is quite possible to come up to a random anonymous soldier who barely has time to tell you to run before he gets snatched away and his very soul devoured.}}.

** When you kill Grelod the Kind, the kid gives you the reward, all's well and good, right? Wrong. A courier shows up with a message from someone. I wonder who it is? Whoever it is was pretty eager to get it to you, apparently. So you read the note. Wanna know what it says? {{spoiler|WE KNOW below a black handprint.}}. Sleep tight. Um... You may want to rethink {{spoiler|the sleeping part}}...}}

** During the quest "A Cornered Rat,", you might notice an oddity in Riften;: there's a Khajiit named Shavari wandering around the city proper, something you won't find anywhere else. Other than that, she doesn't seem very noteworthy, doesn't have much to say, and isn't particularly friendly. But if you pay special attention to her, you'll notice she's both watching and following you from a safe distance. {{spoiler|When you escape the Ratways with Esbern, you'll find out she's working with the Thalmor.}}. You can also {{spoiler|pickpocket her and find a note that specifically says that the Thalmor are tracking ''you'' and that you'll lead them to Esbern.}}.

** While the PC version does not suffer many technical problems (well, no more than the Xbox version --... this ''is'' an ''Elder Scrolls'' game, after all), the UI is very console-adapted, to the point that it has caused problems with using a mouse for many users (as in, the game doesn't properly register that you clicked on something). Bethesda has said they have no intention of modifying the UI themselves, but luckily, this is one porting problem that can be (and already has been) fixed by modders.

** ''Skyrim'' will no longer have attributes. This has caused some fans to completely forsake the game due to the "dumbing down.". Historically, they've said that for every ''Elder Scrolls'' game, so make of it what you will.

* [[Scrappy Mechanic]]:* The broken-as-hell yielding system. In ''[[Oblivion]]'', all you needed to do to yield was block and press a button, which the enemy would recognize and guards always accepted. In ''Skyrim'', you need to put your weapon away and just stand there like an idiot. Most of the time it doesn't work, meaning guards will keep trying to kill you for a forty-gold bounty, no matter how many times you try to surrender.

* [[Sidetracked By the Golden Saucer]]: As before with Elder Scrolls games, you can spend ''so long'' reading books.

** And as with a lot of freeform exploration games, it is absurdly easy to get sidetracked while en route to a quest. Something as simple as stopping to investigate a curious landmark while en route to another quest site can result in the player ending up on the far side of ''Skyrim'' engaging in another quest-line entirely unrelated tot he first one.

** Wear the Ring of Namira around, and guards will comment on how rotten your breath smells and ask what you've been eating. {{spoiler|The answer, if you have the ring, is of course human flesh.}}.

* [[Take That, Scrappy!]]:* Nazeem is so despised that many [[YouTube|Youtubers]]rs have made [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2W1d9nrcCw montages] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4bi8XlXghY and] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uijjXSkJgA "sending] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRKZCtdTOZA him to the could district."]

** The Ghost of Sigdis Gauldurson at the end of the Forbidden Legend quest. He's a DoppelgangerDoppelgänger boss where you have to play whack-a-draugr to find the real deal, they're all archers (and hurt a LOT when they hit), and each one, doppelgangersdoppelgängers and all, pack an Unrelenting Force shout powerful enough to send you flying. Even if you whack a few of the doppelgangersdoppelgängers, the remainder will shout you onto your ass and you take forever to get back up, meaning he resets his doppelgangersdoppelgängers all over, and you probably didn't land a single hit. By which time you'll be frantically restoring whatever health was lost when you were a sitting duck getting pincushionedpin-cushioned by arrows after being shouted over. Still, you can own him easily by hiding behind a pillar and shooting him with a bow. Additionally, the real Sigdis can be spotted by the fact he's the only one wearing a helmet whose horns point ''down''. The decoys all have helmets with horns pointing up. Once you've learned to look for that cue, the fight goes way way faster. You even have to fight Sigdis ''twice'' during the quest. And the second time he is part of a [[Boss Rush]] along with his brothers.

* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: To some, the [[Civil War]] plotline was underutilized. [[Story Breadcrumbs|The in-game story clues and documentation]] reveal a long and complex backstory involving war and political intrigue between many nations and factions leading to the start of the civil war. The war itself has distinctive factions with heaps of [[Gray and Grey Morality]] associated with them, [[Alternate Character Interpretation|many ways to interpret all sides]], and an [[Bigger Bad|overarching conflict with the Thalmor.]]. However, the civil war itself takes a backseat to the main quest centering around Alduin, and while the civil war questline is one of the largest in the game, it generally involves similar missions across Skyrim, just in different locations depending on faction. You can actually discuss this with the head of the Bard's College in Solitude, who comments that the war in Skyrim is just another war in history, and that kings and empires rise and fall regularly, but that the conflict between the Dragonborn and Alduin is something much more unique and noteworthy.

** Speaking of mods, witness [[Vocaloid|Miku Hatsune]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POBp_SIskIg methodically slaughtering enemy mooks], with a [[The Stoic|straight face]], in [[Bullet Time]]. Even being {{spoiler|hit by an arrow}} doesn't stop her.

** Clothing especially, with the children. They only seem to have one outfit, based on their gender. Even Babette, who you think would look more like she belongs {{spoiler|in the Dark Brotherhood.}}.
