Strange I walk over them and they do not go off either, they must be defective or something.

I use the shout that makes you move fast and rush past them. I do the same for the swinging blade traps. And as for the floor triggers that spring the various smashing stuff I just walk around them, I always sneak and keep my eyes along the floor.

Now as to my assistant, that's another story. Poor Mjoll takes a whipping all the time....

Lydia will be walking through eventually, I was trying to disarm them, strange they never went off. No doubt Lydia walks over them they will. I discovered I missed a section in Nchuand-Zel, the quarters, I went down swam around came up through the armoury and out again when going around the corner activated everything. I saw a suspicious lever and did not pull it, want to raid the place before everything comes alive. There is an awful lot of stuff down here though, need 10 more Lydia's.

Your Guide to Playing Skyrim as Batman
Why waste time and money on multiple games when you only need one: Skyrim?

2011 was an embarrassment of riches in terms of the breadth of high calibre games released. Did you have the time and money to get through them all? Probably not, and you didn't need to, either. Why waste your energy on multiple games when you only need one: Skyrim?

What am I talking about? Think about it. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a massive, open-ended role-playing game. With 16 diverse skill trees to invest in – and a tonne of spells and weapons to master – character customisation options are near-endless. In light of this, I thought it would be fun to put Skyrim's role-playing possibilities to the test. Here's a guide to surviving Skyrim as some of 2011's biggest stars.


Batman, Batman: Arkham City
With Batman: Arkham City, developer Rocksteady Studios once again showed us how awesome playing as the Dark Knight can be. When in his element, Batman has a lot going for him: mastery of multiple fighting styles, access to high-tech equipment and the ability to pull off the whole cape-and-cowl ensemble without people laughing at him. I wasn't sure how Batman would cope with being stripped of all bat-related gadgetry and dropped into the ruthless world of Skyrim but I was eager to find out.

For the full Batman experience you will want to adhere to three simple rules: adventure by night whenever possible, never kill a human, and speak all dialogue out loud in your most gruff voice. The first rule is easily remedied by use of the wait feature; simply while away the daylight hours hanging out with a swarm of bats (I've never been good at collective nouns) in one of Skyrim's cosy caves. The second rule is more problematic and you will long for early-comics-Batman who would gun goons down with reckless abandon.


Good luck finding some gadgets, though.


To overcome the no killing rule you will want to focus on stealth and intimidating your opponents. I recommend concentrating on the Sneak skill and levelling up Illusion magic until you gain the higher-level Fear and Invisibility spells. Sure, Batman is a man of science, but what is magic but science viewed by a simple mind?

To unlock these spells you will need some hard-core restraint, discipline and a big can of spam. For all of the complexity in Skyrim's levelling up systems, they sure are prone to exploitation. The Illusion spell Clairvoyance (a medieval version of Arkkam City's detective mode) and especially Muffle (great for prowling) are primed for spamming.

Playing as Batman will be tough, and a number of missions will not be playable as you need to kill humans to progress, but no one said being Batman was meant to be easy. Also, to my knowledge you cannot recruit a boy as a travelling companion. To flesh out a dynamic duo you might want to consider your gay marriage options. I suggest Marcurio in Riften.

Personally I much rather pretend it's Thief 4 when I'm doing stealth. And saying the dialogue options out loud in a voice of a troubled man suffering from diarrhea? I always do that.

My god, I almost forgot how beautiful Blackreach is! I have to collect 30 crimson nirnroots there. I HATED collecting those things in Oblivion, but now thanks to the stunning environment, it's actually enjoyable.
