Okay, to start off, I'm currently in the middle of my n'th Skyrim gameplay, and is continuing the Main Quest after finding Esbern.

My character, Delphine and Esbern were making their way to the Sky Haven Temple from Markath. Just before we got to Kolskeggr Mine, we met with a Thalmor patrol group, and I was like 'Ooookaay... let's see if they recognize the Blades behind me...'
As it turns out, they didn't recognize the Blades who they have been hunting for like years following behind my character, and kept walking. Likewise, Delphine and Esbern were also ignoring the Thalmors.

So, I shrugged and continued on for a little bit before taking out my bow and turned around. Without further ado, I shot the trio Thalmors. They went down pretty fast as my bow had been enchanted and upgraded pretty heavily. Suddenly, someone was attacking me. And I was like, 'What the...? Did they have a fourth member or something??' I turned around and .... Surprise, surprise. It was DELPHINE who was attacking me!!!

[rants on]
WTF, woman??? You're one of the Blades! The Thalmors are your enemy, and you're attacking me for killing your enemy???

She just gained another level in my B*tch O' Meter. Something I didn't think was possible after I pretty much hated her for telling me to kill Paarthunax in my previous gameplays.
[rants off]

Just want to get that off my chest. Anyone else wants to join in giving her the hate?

I think a part of it might be because the Thalmor patrols might be classified as guards from whatever hold they're patrolling in. Delphine might be classified as a law-abiding character, so attacking guards would go against her set morality and she'd turn aggressive against the Dragonborn. This is probably because until you meet her during the quest line, she's considered a citizen of Riverwood, and you know how citizens react to hostile NPCs/ characters. You get a mob of unarmed chicks with dresses and hobos running over to stab or punch the offender to death. Old school street justice!

I could be wrong, but I'd bet that that would be the reason behind her sudden bought of lethal hypocrisy. she's not meant to be a follower for long, and since Thalmor patrols are random encounters, it's just one of those things where it would be oddly specific game logic for one character, even if it totally goes against what her character believes.

I wanted to literally rip Serana apart in my first Dawnguard play-through.

That bitch would pay for her repetitive lines and her kill steals and her fucking stuffy personality.

There's a mod called 'Serana shut up!' that gets rid of a lot of her repetitious dialog.

After being asked 'Hey, what is it?' every single time I stopped was rather maddening.

"Where did you come from?"

"I don't know Serana, maybe the Dragon Priest came from the FUCKING TOMB THAT HE CRAWLED UP FROM."

A lot of NPCs in Skyrim don't react how you'd expect them to. Bethesda has had that habit for a long time now.

What's the intended meaning of that sentence? It's completely incoherent. Are you saying that Delphine runs Skyrim?


Hm, I see you're falling behind in the evolution of language, allow me to teach you.

"To do a run" when speaking of a repeatable experience such as a game, is to state that you are committing to an additional play-through of the game. ex: "I completed Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but I think I will do a couple more runs."

Also, you did not quote the entire sentence, thus why the meaning was lost.

In hindsight, I probably should have thrown a comma in there somewhere to indicate a pause, and make it clearer for a high school level reader.

"Skyrim runs now, because of that woman."

Oh well.

EDIT

Cheeky little bugger ain't you.

You literally just chopped what he said in half just so you could make fun of it sounding like it was chopped in half.

That's Nexerus for you. We often disagree in off-topic, one shouldn't be surprised.

I didn't see that it was all one sentence at first. Once I did, it made sense.

Actually Nexerus quoted me, chopped what I said in half, then tried to make fun of that half, then edited himself afterwards to try and cover it up.

Guys why don't we all go editing our posts several moments after posting them so that we can have even more conversations with each other but make it appear as if we're all crazy.


Quite!
