Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Had a few encounters on the road already, but so much better than in Oblivion. The first one was a woman archer on the road with her dog. My first thought is "ah ****, bandits/highwayman/whatever", and hover my finger on the R key (draws your sword). I especially get edgy when I hear her shout "I hear something!" as I'm drawing near. She enters my line of sight but doesn't attack, so at this point I'm wondering if it's a bug. Not so - she eventually gives up looking for whatever it was, and at this point I strike up a conversation and (accidentally, because I'm still learning the menus) bought some kind of pelt off her. Turns out she was just a hunter.
Later I was walking along and all of a sudden I hear a wolf growl from somewhere. I freeze and look around, and he's sitting on a rock ledge a short ways away from me. Once I saw it, this time I drew - and he charged at just that moment. No trouble with it of course as it met its end on the tip of my sword, I just thought those two sequences played out amazingly well.
