So far, the humor and feel are both spot-on, in my opinion.

Murray's design is... quite frankly a little scary, but I think I can warm up to it.

So I've been playing some NES games lately.  One such game is called "Operation Wolf."  The game is a first person side-scrolling shooter, and in it you go through six stages plus a randomly occurring "bonus" stage where you have to defend yourself.  The plot involves finding prisoners of war, rescuing them, and escaping.

So anyway, I was close to winning (or so I thought).  I had made it to the airport and killed all the choppers and soldiers and tanks.  Suddenly the game's all "Nope!  You gotta defeat this Apache chopper!"  I totally lost, but I'm okay with that.  This is a game I played when I was younger, and I was never able to make it that far as a kid.  Maybe I'll beat it some day here in the near future.

Oh man, Operation Wolf... to this day, that game kicks my ass.  And I love it every time.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

I had Operation Wolf on PC and all the kids in my school were playing it. I think it was one of the first PC games I played. (After Rick Dangerous 2 and Xenon 2.)
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

So you are saying the dragon should be the emperor? I agree with this. The empire is a shame but the stormcloaks I cannot stand them. Fuck why wasn't there an option to make me high king.
That may be the single gayest thing I have ever read on this board. Or the old one. ;)

Yeah, I wish there was an option for the Dragonborn to become either High King or Emperor, or even both.  Considering that choosing a side is just choosing between the "lesser of two evils", taking over means you can improve at least one of two belligerents.

The thing though neither side gives you what you want.  Which is something to do and feel good about.  And honestly, the Civil War does nothing for the end game.  Its just background noise.

Ironbite-really dull really dim really soft background noise.

I can't say I lost any sleep over which side to choose. It took me all of three seconds to decide to side with the Stormcloaks the first time I played. I mostly just think it would be kinda neat if the Dragonborn could start their own faction, perhaps as something you could unlock through other quest lines.

Well, Nintendo's currently giving away the Legend of Zelda: Four Swords on the 3DS e-shop until the 4th, which is pretty neat. I probably won't even play it that much, but hey, it's freeeeeeee!

Even more reason to force my friends to download it!  ;D

On another note, I noticed this video on my dash about a mobile version of the old game Dungeon Master. Saying it's a horrible abomination of a game that should never have been made other than as a testament to the greed of EA is probably putting it lightly.
