Digital Chumps - That is the most recent lesson I have learned in my 130+ hours of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. To make a long story short, I sort of can’t go to the city of Whiterun anymore. You see, I decided to see what would happen if I killed every guard (and several townsfolk) in that particular city. Afterward it occurred to me I could load a previous save, but I am so powered up in the game that I can kill just about anything in one melee strike. So, by that logic, I figured if anyone tried to arrest me I would just kill them and move along.
