    Haha sorry guys! Ok ok, here's a legit one:
    • You can now swap weapons while mounted.

    Ok... so this makes me think that maybe mounted combat is on its way. Why else would we need to be able to do this?

    I'd prefer being able to swap weapons any time while not mounted.

    Actually I sometimes have to dismount to swap weapons, because I have better shield on the other bar. When I get ambushed by some silly opening with a mark or light attack, I can cast that shield right off horseback.

    My life has been revolving around these patch notes for weeks, so apologies for being largely absent recently! Here's one just for fun:
    • Certain lootable food objects (mostly involving goats) will no longer mysteriously vanish when looted.

    Oh yes, I can see it now.

    I dont see how you guys managed that one. Because currently, anything you attempt to do dismounts you. Even a skill effect ending dismounts you.

    Might as well let us use a potion or food and drink while mounted, because those currently dismount you as well.

    Been using detect pots on my nb and sorc while mounted for while now and it has never unmounted me... I've wanted to swap weapons while mounted for a while though. This is going to great to have.

    As a "pro gamer" who is used to long days of playing without breaks or showers let me make a few suggestions to help get you through those 60 pages of patch notes.
    • Mountain Dew. Boil it so that the water evaporates and all that remains is pure nuclear energy.
    • Hot pockets. Blender them ahead of time into a smoothie. "Pro-tip" Add some Tabasco sauce for a spicy "wake me up" Kick.
    • MadCatz MMO Gaming Diaper. Why waste time when you can save it for later.
    • Which brings me to the final point. Febreeze. Showers are for victories, not maintenance.

    It's happened to us all...

    Actually, it hasn't happened to me in ten years. I have been a happy non-user of Word since 2005. It works great for me, and I never looked back.

    Off topic, sorry, I'll shut up. It just makes me sad to see how Word is considered some kind of universal tool.

    Blood as Food
    As morbid as it sounds, drinking and cooking with blood is as old as mankind itself. It started as a matter of frugality and self-preservation -- not wasting any part of a "kill." It eventually evolved into a symbolic and religious gesture. Warriors believed drinking their enemies' blood would give them their strength and power. In other cultures, blood is considered a taboo food.

    source: http://easteuropeanfood.about.com/od/a1/a/blood.htm

    Goats blood recipe (goat sauce)? Maybe Daedra blood recipe too? We can keep going.....
    Don't know why it would sound morbid. No more morbid than eating stomachs, livers or brains, anyway. Variations of blood soup and blood sausage are present in many traditional European and East Asian cuisines. Kaszanka (sausage) is fairly commonly eaten in my country and my family still occasionally makes czernina (soup), although I must admit the last ones smells just awful, I have no idea how I could eat it as a child. :D

    I'm sure Bosmer have recipes including animal blood.

    @Rosveen - I was quoting the source for the "morbid" comment. I was really advocating it as a recipe. I am not sure how to throw it in the game, but Daedra blood picked from a final boss of an anchor and using it in a potion/beverage mix to grant X. Under this pretense:
    "Warriors believed drinking their enemies' blood would give them their strength and power." from source quoted above......or from the blood of the cute cats that keep distracting this loyal dog lover/owner.....that part was for my ferocious pitbull that may end up reading this.....and stop laughing cause her name is Snookums. (According to the vet, she is "self conscious" about such things) :D

    Way off topic, sorry. ZOS_Gina, what else you got for us?
    Follow me if I advance, Kill me if I retreat, Avenge me if I die.

    When this immediate evil power has been defeated, we shall not yet have won the long battle with the elemental barbarities. Another evil, it may be an invisible adversary, will attempt, again, and yet again, to destroy our frail civilization. Is it true, I wonder, that the only way to escape a war is to be in it?

    If I die, you are forgiven, If I live, I will kill you.

    Yeah, it has been a lot of doom and gloom lately. I was hoping to keep it light and engaging with them and us, but it seems the wheels have fallen off the cart and people are focused on the fixing rather than laughing at the fact that we are all stuck out in the rain without coats. :D

    which is extremely sad. because lets be honest, sorcs are NOT good as they are right now. Grab melee or a bow and sure, i can see that. Staff user lol naw. You will spend most your time frustrated because permablock makes your attacks laughable and you have to run away constantly or die a lot.
