Do you whack skellingtons? I prefer shooting things from a "safe" distance and letting the cat do the hard work.
Meanwhile in Skyrim, after failing to shoot the mammoth from a "safe" distance I thought that maybe I'd try a different weapon...
Hmm, two mammoths versus a sword at night. I wonder if that will turn out well.
Spoiler: It didn't.
And more mammoths came to trample my dead body. One reload later and I ignored the mammoths and successfully managed to steal a horse for a bit instead of having to buy one at the stables. Riding around on that was fun although the horses do look a bit chunky. The ones you ride in Assassin's Creed look a bit more lithe and turn a little easier.
I feel like I'm becoming a connoiseur of video game horses.
I'm sure I'll get back to a quest... eventually.
