giant spiders scared me too
what saddens me: 1) no athletics, acrobatics, or mysticism skills. because i only recently learned to appreciate them. 2) no hand-to-hand skill. because punching trolls' eyes out was really satisfying, in oblivion, and i actually thought with the dark brotherhood, we'd find ninja or karate chop perks, maybe even high kicks, pressure points, something!
what makes me happy: 1) craft skills besides enchanting and alchemy. takes me back to UO, circa 2000. 2) skill perk trees: will come in handy. 3) better third person pov, reminds me of dead space. 4) brawling dialogue option. i've already made some money brawling. i'm playing a female dunmer and intend to best the best brawlers the nords have to offer.
