    Imagine attacking Whiterun as a Stormcloak and you open the door to Dragonsreach and just see Balgruuf being protected by a whole barricade of guards dancing in perfect harmony.

      Then Tullius and Rikke walk out of the back wearing Whiterun Armor and says, "We used to be soldiers like you, until we took an arrow in the knee." And then the entire Imperial Legion, armed in the armor of Jarl Balgruuf destroyed the Stormcloak Army, and conquer all of Skyrim, and the same happens across the Dragonborn Empire. In High Rock and Cyrodiil, all warriors don the Armor of Whiterun, and the Emperor himself takes an arrow in the knee.
      Suddenly, with a roar, the entire Empire shouts aloud "FOR WHITERUN!" and charges accross all the borders, conquering the rest of Tamriel.
      I think this is the most likely outcome for both the Civil War and second Great War.

    10 years ago, this song cracked me up. Now in old age, my own knee is going out and I use a cane. People ask what happened and I say, "I used to be an adventurer like you but then took an arrow to the knee" It helps me find true skyrim fans! Love it!!!

      Very similar situation here. I shattered both sides of my left ankle and split the tibia up from my foot a ways 15 yrs ago. I now am starting to have to use a cane as well. When you limp people usually can't tell what specific area it is. When someone asks what happened I also use the line. You can find fellow gamers who get a kick out of it and then sometimes you get those folks who just give you the blank stare. I laugh much harder at the dumbfounded folks.

      Zortec it seems these Earth life-forms have received high-velocity projectiles directly to the lower extremities.
      Yet they are engaging in rhythmic movement of aformentioned extremities...
      Peculiar to say the least.
      Consult the council!
