More 'Rimming

susie_floWow... what a blissful duvet day yesterday. A random day off work + microbe at nursery = a proper Xbox love-in.
When it got to 5 o'clock I started wondering how many 'yummy mummy' points I would lose if I were to pick up James in my pyjamas. (Goddamned social convention, getting in the way of me looting bandit corpses and sharpening my daggers.)
Anyway, thanks to all of the helpful comments yesterday from my fellow 'Rimmers, I got to grips with my big old racist Nordgal and levelled her up to 9 and had lots of swordy fun. Hooray!
If only they didn't feel the need to introduce quite so much reality... only one full day in and Meanie of Twick is already in need of storage solutions and trying to earn enough gold to buy a house to put all of the books and armour and shit in... Jeez.
As for my sneak + archery skills, I think these would go on my annual review as a 'development need'. I can't work out why I can sneak about and sometimes if I shoot someone in the head they die quietly and I get a bangy on-screen congratulation about my stealth kill levels, and other times I do exactly the same thing and the person goes "What was that? Did I hear something?" and then they run towards me and 'discover' me.... meanwhile I am shouting "HEAR SOMETHING??? You've got a frigging arrow sticking out of your face!")
Anyway - given my general shortage of play opportunities, I reckon this utterly huge game is going to last me about 3 years, for my 5 earth pounds. Bargainacious!
Am I right to guess that it was made by the same people who made Fallout 3? (I can't be bothered to JFGI but it feels like v similar gameplay). Also, Rimmers, as far as time-travel goes, is there any benefit of sleeping over waiting? Oh, and last Q - did anyone else notice that the incidental music occasionally sounds like the Emmerdale theme tune? (Mood-killer-tastic!)
