I already have that racing thing from the last time they gave it away.
And I also have tomorrow's game too from the last time they gave it away.

Do you have one of those leaked lists again?  

All I see is some wrapping paper and a bow. Though the paper does indeed have bats on it...  

I do not have a list.
But some people on Reddit are very good at deciphering the clues.


I was a bit annoyed that I didn't get to finish my poker game last night. First I was dealt a 2/7 offsuit hand which is one of the worst you can get, I obviously folded to save my chips for the next hand, and then after a bit of suspicious chatting a big fight broke out.
I'll have to go back to that house at a better time if I want to win some money.

And here I thought they just reused the halloween wrapping paper

If they are reusing anything I think it's games from previous giveaways.

Pickpocketing time!

Do you think I can do it on the move like this?

 

No.
The answer's no.
Let's reload to forget about that bounty.
It's quite a tricky one this. I'm only getting a 30% chance even when I'm up close.
Now if I could just get him to sit in one of those chairs.

 

But not THAT one with his back to the wall. He knows something's going on, doesn't he?
But...
 
...if I sit in that chair at the back he'll have to sit in another one!

But then Arissa sat in the other chair forcing him to sit WITH me.
 

OK, This set-up is better...
 
...I just need Balimund to leave first.
But Arissa started working the cooking pot and blocked him from leaving.

Right, everybody downstairs out of the way. We'll let him come out of his room and choose his own chair without seeing us. Hopefully he'll sit next to Balimund and...

 

That's it. Keep him talking and distracted.
The angles are not the best but if I can scoot quickly behind him and casually make a swipe then maybe....
Maaaaaaybe.

I've got it!
RUN!!!

I still haven't dared try pick pocketing even once
I also haven't gotten to Rorikstead yet. I keep intending to go, but then I keep getting side tracked. Tried again, just now, but decided to fast travel to a spot nearer to it. Then I couldn't remember what was in that spot, and it wasn't cleared so.... I went back in, and got over encumbered and had to go back home - and on the way there I heard a dragon! Quick, get off the horse! *waits for the off the horse animation to finish* And then sneak around this cliff so it's hard for the dragon to see me or attack me... and... it's quite far away. Over the next ridge.... oh, might as well keep moving homewards. *turns around* Dragon!
Well, the second dragon was also far away. So I decided to ride on, when... Mammoth!

Anyway, I got back home and sold the loot and I am ready to try for Rorikstead once more. But first... I need to pee. And possibly go to bed and save more gaming for tomorrow...

Which key/button do you use for peeing?

Back in Watchdogs I found a low stakes poker game that was more suited to my talents.
And got cleaned out twice.

"I've seen better hands on an amputee," said the smug man as I left.
Thanks for that.

It's a ... mod...

Oh my, that was all nasty.

After the electrocution break, I went back, got electrocuted a couple more times, got to the end of the quest and.... what, where??? I'm back there!? But I hadn't finished looting the place! AND you didn't bring my horse

So I fast travelled back, told Lydia to stay with horsey, because the place was cleared after all. Only... it wasn't. Oops. I rather thought I wouldn't make it, for a bit, there... But all's well that ends well...

What next?

Electrocuted?
Is that just mages with chain lightning or is there a high-tech place I haven't discovered yet?
