Could someone tell me where the arrow to the knee phrase is coming from? I missed that.

Talk around to guards in any major city, a lot of them will tell you "I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee..."
It's rapidly becoming Skyrim's "I saw a mudcrab the other day."

[MegaScientifical]

"I saw a mudcrab the other day... horrible creatures!"

... Where's that come from?

... Where's that come from?

Oblivion I think, or morrowind, one of the two.
The NPCs talked about mudcrabs a lot.

[Man 2]

... Where's that come from?

Oblivion. Mudcrabs seem to be the utter toast of Cyrodiil; everyone's talking about them.
The guards:
"I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than you!"

The citizens:
"I ran into a couple of mudcrabs not long ago...annoying creatures!"
"Well at least they're slow, and not too bright.... their pincers are sharp, though."
"I saw some mudcrabs by the water recently. I steered clear of them!"

Even Skyrim's M'aiq the Liar, in a clear mockery of Oblivion's hot topic:
"M'aiq saw a mudcrab the other day. Horrible creatures!"

M'aiq the Liar's thing is that he talks about changes made to newer installments of the Elder Scrolls series, and how people complain about what's been changed. He's shown up in Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim so far.

[Jacob/Lee]

Of all the things they could talk about, the hottest topic was always mudcrabs. It was funny, its renown was almost on the level of the guards.

ok so i learned how to 0-9 bind items from my Q-favored list.

but this still does not fix my problem with dual wielding daggers and duel wielding magics. i cant switch between the 2 sets.
a number cant seem to be equipped to more then 1 item. so all i can switch is a single dagger to a single magic. and then cant switch either one of them back to duel's.

wtf, this number binding isnt helpful at all, i can just as easily grab from the Q-fav list. and at least then the game gives me a strategic pause while im doing it.

[PJ Boy]

Weapons in the left hand are usually secondary, i.e. magic, shields, and I think daggers. If you want to dual wield a single type of magic or weapon, just press it's key bind twice. It will put it in both of your hands.

Try experimenting with the system. It actually helps a lot in combat.

What? How? I tried and couldn't get it to work.

I was all "Meh, boring"
Then I saw his eyes, the way he stared....
And his beard

It's a pity because daedric armor is better then dragon. :(
