You know, it's them or me, and I'm ok with that. :)

As a Clash fan (my ringtone is Should I Stay or Should I Go), the only song that came into my head was the one intended.

Again, while Skyrim is quite Germany shaped, it's very Nordic. We Germans are not Nords =P Nor are we Bavarian....for the most part.

Wow, the comprehension level is off the mark in so many ways here. No, as stated, I'm German. The "Unification to the current Germany" took roughly forty years if you're speaking in regards to post WW2. Now, regarding "national identity" being homogenized and "largely forgotten," I have to wonder as to whether you've…

You're really grasping at straws here in attempts to build something larger. Again, Skyrim, as a completely different franchise than LotR, are not based on each other. The idea that, "Lord of the Rings has everything to do with Northern Europe and its languages" could very well be true, for that setting in particular,…

Um, that's a map of Skyrim. It's just a Skyrim map, in German. It has nothing to do with LotR.

Glad I could provide a little entertainment =)

Multiplayer for pirated games usually doesn't work unless someone can provide a simulated server, or it has a land option, then you can use an app like Tunngle to trick your machine into thinking it can directly connect with other pcs without actually being on a lan.

That said, I've likely been playing around with the…

Too much work? It's more steamlined than ever. It sounds far more like you're saying you just don't have the patience to learn a new way to do it, or you're too lazy to do it.

Which in the long run is good. Pay for games =)

But it is available for purchase =P They specifically released a sound track that only has the shanties.

Here's a youtube video with all of them that you can download via browser plugins.

Well to be fair, with all of the joking that I did about it in these replies, it's not so black and white, but at the same time it is.

Here's a simple hard fact for people to understand. If you were German during WW2 you were a Nazi. Period. You may not have agreed with their views or even wanted to associate yourself…

HEY! That's MY drink you giant prick of a penguin!

I would assume that their strict hierarchy wouldn't crumble so quickly in such a short period of time. That said, the position is likely one appointed by the Qun. In that a selected warrior has been sent to train with the inquisition, and then become a leader, so assist in bridging the gap between their peoples.

That,…

Jeezy Creezy, what has the world come to when people would lower themselves to taking Python's name in vain.....

Well, and there was that other German guy named Martin Luther who changed Christianity by pinning a note to the Catholic church's door saying, "Ein minuten Bitte. Ich habe einen kleinen problemo avec diese religione." We think he was German, but he kinda sounds like he was from all over the place ;)

"Random Encounters is a weekly column dedicated to all things JRPG. It runs every Friday at 3pm ET. You can reach Jason at jason@kotaku.com or on Twitter at @jasonschreier.

But, as clearly you were going the warhammer 40k route, I'll provide you THIS!

I wouldn't imagine there'd be any difficulties there. They are regimented and follow an hour code to those whom they've sworn themselves to. Perhaps at this point they see the validity to joining with the inquisitors instead of conquering the area just to have it over run?

We sided with them in our plans to take over the world =P

That, and we share a very mechanical rule driven society =)
