I still have the quest in my quest log and I dare not finish it... the thought itself is disturbing, let alone the act of cannibalism.

execution174528d ago

i did it, i don't mind the little boost in stats :P

Spitfire_Riggz4528d ago

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You do it as a werewolve whats the difference? character model

Kal8534528d ago (Edited 4528d ago )

Wolves have a long history of eating people and no-one has ever called it cannibalism.

Spitfire_Riggz4528d ago

I meant to say you eat people as one (not cannibalism) . So I guess its just the thought of it? Because if you can do it in beast form whats the difference.

jjb19814527d ago

If you were a werewolf, eating people isnt wrong, its natural. On the other hand, eating other werewolves would be cannibalism...

ClimateKaren4528d ago

I find myself having embarrassing little pangs of conscience in games too. I'm feeling so guilty doing my Thieves Guild missions >.> Something about extortion...

rdgneoz34528d ago

There are some grey areas in the thieves' guild missions. Some of the ones deserve it :P

SPOILER

The Honeybrew meedier mission (I think), the guy that helps you with info tells you how the owner loaned him money he could never pay back and treats him like a slave basically. I thought he was just a disgruntled worker at first. Then when I talked to the owner, the guy basically said he took advantage of the guy because "nothing like cheap labor". After that info, I didn't feel sorry for what I was going to do to him >:)

END SPOILER

Nothing personal but looking at your avatar picture... I am thinking you have thought of cannibalism a lot in your life? (a little Jeffrey Dahmer-ish) j/k

jerethdagryphon4528d ago

technically its only cannibalism if your one f the human races

HardCover4527d ago

But even on a Dunmer the NPCs will call you a "Nord" and a "son of Skyrim."

I have a big problem with this being called cannibalism and somehow controversial. First off, it's only cannibalism if you're eating your own species. Any race other than Breton, Nord, or Redguard eating human flesh is NOT cannibalism. On top of that, I think my Kahjit, a feline, eating any species is perfectly normal. When a male Lion wants to mate with a Lioness that already has cubs he eats the cubs. Technically that is cannibalism, but it's not in any way taboo or out of the ordinary for the species.

Bolts4528d ago

Right, because Nord isn't human. Lol. I'm not sure what's more disturbing, cannibalism or your warped justification on why it's ok. It's a game, you could've said you did it for the stats.

Kal8534528d ago (Edited 4528d ago )

I thought Nord's were human. I said other than Nord, Breton or Redguard, which are all human. I'm not trying to justify anything. My point is everyone is pretending or at least presenting it as cannibalism and acting like it's some taboo thing that's controversial. The fact is cannibalism is very taboo because it's humans eating humans. If HUMANS aren't eating HUMANS, then who gives a crap. Stick to the facts. I can't eat tons of meat and claim I'm a vegetarian, and I can't be lactose intolerant if I have milk all the time. That's why words have definitions. I couldn't care less if my Kahjit eats a venison steak or a baby Nord baby sitting in a crib. That's what big cats do.

KaBaW4528d ago

Right, because an Imperial isn't human. Lol.

;)

Legion4528d ago

You are thinking of cannibalism from our point of view. As we only have one human species.

Cannibalism in Skyrim delves more into the humanoid species. Only I am not seeing why Giants and other humanoid creatures aren't included in that? I have eaten a lot of Giant Toe. :)

HardCover4527d ago

"If HUMANS aren't eating HUMANS, then who gives a crap. Stick to the facts"

Some people tend to enjoy roleplaying in roleplaying games. Go off on all the big cat tangents you want, but you're neither right nor wrong. You just feel differently about which of your disbeliefs to suspend.

FlashBack4528d ago

Just calm down with this skyrim guide crap:
1. Play the game yourself
2. I like skyrim, a lot, got it day one, but this is just too much

Legion4528d ago

Simple don't read it.

I don't get why people complain about all these guides and such, especially for a single player game. What does it hurt you? Is it like crack and you can't help but look at it? Well then maybe that is YOUR problem?

I find them amusing and interesting. Skyrim is so large that it is hard to be able to see everything in the world. The guides allow us to see aspects from another players view. And for some having issue with a particular task then they can find a guide to help them through it.

Face it Skyrim is huge and thus many guides are likely to be posted.

FlashBack4527d ago

Actually it does, it's occupying space that could be used for more useful stuff

Legion4527d ago

And that would be your censoring of N4G for your own qualms? Who are you exactly??? Skyrim is currently the number 1 thing on gamers minds... so get used to it. Then the next big game comes out and you can complain anew.

bozebo4527d ago

I am also kind of confused as to why people would feel the need to make guides on these small things.

eak34527d ago

This sounds like a quest that could totally be missed if not done in this order. THese little guides are a good source of info that most players would never have ever discovered.

nan04528d ago

What I'm planning to do, is clear the place out, etc. Bring the priest, so that all of the cannibals show up there from the town... Then wipe all of them out and let the priest live. F that ring, F Namira. F that Daedric prince (or cess). I like getting all items on games, but I'm happier knowing I don't have that ring.

Also, I'd use a weapon that I would dispose of after. Who wants nasty cannibal germs on your weapons? Yuck.

Legion4528d ago

I have already found human flesh in the game and tasted it to find out what it does.

Nothing new with the ring except changing the effect of the human flesh you are eating. You have already been able to eat human flesh in the game.

This just allows you to get more to health you up.

Lord_Sloth4528d ago

What does the ring do differently?

Legion4527d ago

it makes it so that when you eat flesh it is able to give you a health boost like eating other meats.

Gamer-Z4528d ago

Its game guys not real life, just think of it as eating pixels. Anyways whats with all these guides kinda takes the fun out of exploring and figuring out your next move.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast12d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22912d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko12d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave12d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan12d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
