Dammit, I just had to go and give myself more things to distract myself from my unfinished Portal projects. xD I haven't played an RPG for years, and never paid attention to the Elder Scrolls series until now. I'll admit that a small part of it was just curiosity of all the hype going on about it, but the main attention grabber for me was when I heard that you could pretty much ignore the main storyline whenever you want and for as long as you want. Then I was told you could pretty much eat anything you find. Hunt an elk? Raw venison! Pluck a salmon right out of the river and they magically turn into filets. Eat random mushrooms growing next to a corpse in a cave. EAT THE BUTTERFLIES. YEAH.

Oh yeah, dragons are cool too. But man, some of the children in this game are little snots. I wish I could kill them.
In other news, my MapleStory account was hacked at the end of October. =/ I found out via a call from a friend as I was in the hospital keeping my mom company for a surgery. I invested a lot of time and real money into my character, a lot more than I wish to admit. 4 billion in pure mesos gone, and if I had to take a raw guess at the worth of the items and equips that were taken, I'd like to say 10-15 billion? I don't know market prices. To some it might not sound like a lot, but for me it is. They didn't take everything, which is a bit of a comfort, but I still have that feeling of being violated, in a way. I don't know if I'm going to continue playing anymore. Even if I miraculously manage to replace some of my equips that were stolen, I think I'd die a little inside if it happened again. I had submitted a ticket to Nexon about it with high hopes, but as I read from other peoples' experiences, well... I think I'll be surprised if I so much as get something that isn't an automated reply.
