Skyrim
A half hour of Skyrim, in which I completed a single quest, and that's about it! Just more theives' guild stuff, in which I had to kill rats. That's all. Oh, also there was a pyschopath down there, so that was fun.
But the plan to poison the mead works! And it totally shouldn't have! The plan was: a) infest a man's breweries with ugly rats shortly before he has to present a brew to the captain of the guard, b) have the owner hiring a completely untrustworthy individual to clear out all the rats and secretly poison said brew, and c) profit when the owner is hauled in for attempted murder. This plan sounds fine until the denouement, in which the commander of the guard is presented with the special brew IMMEDIATELY after I show up to inform the owner the job is done. There was maybe a three minute gap between my poisoning of the mead and it being drank. Am I really to believe the owner waited until after my act to prepare the drink? That he didn't have a special portion bottled weeks ago? That he didn't feel a need to make sure all the rat corpses were even cleared out of the basement before inviting a public official to a special tasting? If there was some lag time, sure, buyable, but at the current pace, it just seems unlikely.
Also also, the poison doesn't even kill the captain. The captain doesn't even stumble! How does he know he was just poisoned? As far as he could tell, it was just a really shitty mead. Why does that give him leave to haul the owner to jail? Did he receive a little tooltip like every time I'm poisoned? Because that's the only way the arrest makes any sense.
So join us next time when I bitch to death the nonsensical plans of deceit in video games.
