I have to write a poem for creative writing and I’m doing one where I adress Todd Howard about my experience playing Skyrim. but like, I don’t think you’d ever know If I didn’t tell you.
“I walked your winter stairs because you said so, and learned to yell as I never have.
What is the point of your wandering roads if a long cold climb gets me there in half the time
