The idea of a video game comic making you say "same" shouldn't feel like a farfetched thought considering how much time we spend playing them and avoiding how awful our lives really are. After all, isn't that why we get embarrassed when people look at our Steam profiles and see how many hours we've played Skyrim? Is 700 hours too much? The answer is no. It's not enough. You still haven't played through as a female Orc who only uses potions and bare fists. So get after it, you turkey.

We guess that saying "same" sort of happens at random throughout a playthrough. Like when an NPC says something wild or the character you're playing as does something and you react in a way that would reflect real life. Sort of like a grunt or a weird noise made after an attack. Or maybe if they mention that they have to go to the bathroom or that they're hungry at the same time that you yourself are feeling the same sensation.

Skyrim is one of those games that we will always hold near and dear to our hearts and souls. It was one of the greatest games ever made and even though we can't imagine that the next game in the series will be better, we plan for it to be great. So sit back and scroll through some of these hilarious comics that you know remind you of some good times in the land of dragons and arrows to the knee.

25 Best Rogue Ever

The best part about Skyrim is the fact that you're able to do whatever you want in the form of character creation. That means if you ever played with toy knights or wizards as a young tyke, then you'd have a few ideas of what sort of medieval hero you'd try to be if you lived in those times. Maybe you're a real skinny guy and wish you were a massive hulking berserker-type character in a game. Furiously swinging your double handed ax through countless enemy trolls or goblins. Or maybe you'd like to play through Skyrim as a lithe and quick life-taker or ninja. The choice is yours, and whether or not you enjoy gameplay that does or does not reflect your real life persona, you can always play the game again and head in a different direction with a different character.

It's a big game, so you might even see some new stuff.

Does anyone else get fed up with modern life and wish they could travel back in time to the age of swords and shields? Like seriously, just trade in all the guns and explosives and get a super expensive piece of armor, a sweet sword, and a few of your closest homies and rush into a war? Sometimes we feel like life would be way easier in those times.

24 A Night No One Remembers

Some people know this feeling all too well. The idea of blacking out or some sort of magical concoction equivalent. Downing a bit too much health potion while in a desperate battle against a dragon or something. We've all been there in real life, as well as game life. The proverbial dragon could be construed as a deadline for the video game website you write for or a bully on the playground that you must face with honor and valiance. Sometimes you need some liquid courage in the form of added hit points. And sometimes, that drink that your character may have had too much of has a few secret properties to it.

Properties like short-term memory loss and excessive thirst.

We'll explain. So you're fighting this battle and you're getting torn up for a bit so you start slamming all the potions that you've been carrying around for hours. And you stop reading what some of them do to your body and whatnot. But they make you forget what you're doing and help you focus on battle and also make you thirsty. So now you're healed and stuff, but you're in berserk mode and have slight amnesia. This continues on and on as you continue to drink the potions and fight random enemies all across the countryside for literal days until you actually run out of potions and are feeling so bad that you stop to realize how far from home you are.

23 Such Natural Beauty

Sometimes when we're playing these games with all their beauty and added mystery and natural wonder, we sort of lose track of what might really be happening. Like some people go to the Great Wall Of China and stare in wonder at the magnificence of this architectural masterpiece. Taking photos and touching your hand softly to the stacked stones. All the while, we forget that this giant wall was created to keep the Mongolians from destroying the entire country of China. This sort of happens when you watch two dragons fighting in Skyrim.

Who knows what's really going on up there, and what started the dispute between the two massive reptiles.

But whatever it might have been, it was probably important. For instance, this comic. The argument between pie and cake is a very strong one. Many would immediately say cake is the best. But then you think about that time you had a super delicious fresh pie made of maple apple kumquat or something and you draw back your vote. For you must think on this because the answer is not so easily discovered. Cake comes in many different shapes and flavors. But after a while, you sort of get sick of cake because it's so basic. A delicious pie will change your life though.

22 Winter Wonder Land

That's another situation that reminds us of us saying "same" when we're playing a video game. It could be a beautiful day outside and we're stuck indoors playing video games and we look outside and think that there is no way we're going to enjoy that outdoors-ness. Because we are way too busy sitting inside enjoying the beautiful rise and fall of the Skyrim sun. It's not that we don't like the actual real life sun, it's that we've spent plenty of days underneath it that we know the deal. It's a massive ball of fire that's like 93 million miles away but still burns our skin if we don't wear shirts.

It's sort of a terrifying aspect of our daily lives that we totally ignore and take for granted.

But it's one of those things that we see in a video game and think about how beautiful it is. We look up into the sky and get a lens flare or something like that and admire the detail placed into the game for us to enjoy. Meanwhile outside in real life is all the greatness we could ask for literally waiting for us. It's funny how this comic captures our laziness and disdain for the real-life enjoyment of nature. The issue, however, with this comic, is that the people sitting inside don't have tons of junk food and drink cans lining their floor.

21 The Sultriest Werewolf

If we're going to be completely honest, there has been some pretty terrible renditions and representations of werewolves in Hollywood. Now, we all understand that Twilight is a top-selling novel series about vampires and love and werewolves. But the movies are sort of over the top ridiculous. They do have a pretty cool idea of how werewolves turn into massive wolves. That's not a bad idea compared to the actual lycanthrope situation where they sort of become a wolfman that stands on two legs. Both situations are pretty cool, but only one can wear armor and carry a sword around.

What's most interesting is that when you turn into a werewolf, you literally cannot wear a shirt anymore.

We're not sure if you know this but it is an actual law of physics. Because for one reason, you become so ripped and attractive that clothes don't even mean anything anymore. The second reason is that when you turn into your beast form, you rip the shirt off anyway. Very similar to a Hulk transformation. But Bruce Banner is a successful scientist who can afford multiple shirts and pairs of purple shorts. It's just not worth it for a werewolf to continually buy shirts that will tear every time the moon is full. Not on that salary. No sir.

20 Skyrim Pawn Stars

What we love most about this comic is not the humor or the accuracy of which is displayed when you're trying to sell something to someone in Skyrim. But our favorite part is the well crafted, incredibly accurate double chin on the bald guy Rick from Pawn Stars. We've all seen that show. It's a show that'll infuriate pretty much anyone who has ever tried to sell something to anyone ever. The guy stares at them with a straight face and says that he can only give them like four dollars for something handcrafted by Jesus himself. Sorry, but he has to keep it on the shelves and hopes some other Dragonborn comes into the shop to buy it.

He has no idea how long that's going to be.

This is the reason why people who play Skyrim eventually hit a point in the game where they are so powerful that they head back to all of the towns that have wronged them and destroy everyone who inhabits them. All the times they ripped us off or added a bounty to our game because we accidentally ended some farm animal's life or stole a horse. Some of those crimes would simply go unsolved if no one saw it happen. It's not like there is some all-seeing god or anything that can judge you fro right and wrong. Plus, how would that god even know to judge someone with human money based on the idea that we ended an animal's life? It doesn't make any sense.

19 A Gamer's Life

Don't feel bad for all the real-life responsibilities you shirk to continue playing video games. Especially ones that you've already beaten. Whether it's buying your children a toy you promised them, or going to the gym, or eating food that actually takes time to prepare. Video games sometimes get in the way or real life. It's not because the person involved is a bad grown-up, it's simply a testament to how good video games have become. They're so awesome that we're willing to sit around all day and do nothing else but get better at them.

Some of us aren't even good at the games we play, yet we continue to grind and replay.

It's no secret that Skyrim and games like it in the RPG genre have tremendous replay value. They hit all the right notes and with a game like Skyrim where there are a plethora of skill trees, races, and classes to choose from, it only makes it easier to regress into it. It's a unique type of game that can keep you coming back for more with only slight variations to the gameplay. You play through as a mage one time, then an archer, then a sword wielder. And that's just three basic choices. There are multiple combinations of classes and whatnot to explore. There are different ways of completing missions and different alliances one can make. Don't feel bad for playing the same game over and over again. Feel bad for your social life.

18 A Horse, Of Course

This sort of scenario seems to happen in real life all of the time. You're just minding your own business engaging in some random anti-social behavior when you stop to turn around and what's staring at you. None other than some common domesticated animal. Staring at you, judging you and your actions, while still maintaining an entirely blank face devoid of any real emotion besides hunger. These animals that we gather around us may seem to have feelings and we treat them like family but the reality is they are beasts that will eat us as soon as we perish. Especially cats. Cats care nothing for the lives of humans. And don't even get us started on dogs. They're just waiting until humans go extinct so that they can take over the planet and use it for themselves and whatever the eventually sentient dog race will do. Probably nothing important.

But when you're sneaking around doing illegal things, and you see some animal looking at you, we all know that there's got to be a chance that that animal is a reincarnated human you once knew. And they can't speak human words, so all they can do is stare at you and shame you. There's a pretty good chance that this reincarnated person has spent years thinking of how it could possibly relay information to us without being able to communicate. The obvious answer is that they realized staring at us and occasionally blinking is what will get us to change our evil ways and repent.

17 Bear Dragon

We don't really understand why a normal bear would come running out of the woods to fight us after we just destroyed a dragon in under two minutes. Maybe the bear thinks that we are weak and this would be the most opportune moment to attack us. That would mean that this bear is the kind that fights for scraps and sticks around at the end of battles to get an easy meal. This is not the type of bear who should be even walking on the same side of the mountain as the Dragonborn. Like for real, guy.

This may be due to the fact that bears don't really know what dragons are.

But in this Skyrim world, they know that there are all sorts of monsters out there and that humans or humanoid things are sometimes fair game. After all, we can't blame a bear for attacking what seems to be a normal human who just destroyed a giant flying reptile. That logic doesn't really make sense or anything, but it's bear logic. What does anyone expect to gain or accomplish with the logic attuned to a bear's brain? Yeah, they can climb trees super fast and they like to attack campers, but have you ever seen a bear apologize for something it's done wrong?. Probably not, because they are also selfish idiots with no humility. Also, they couldn't beat a silverback gorilla in a fight. Just saying.

16 Concentrate On Not Lighting On Fire

This comic can be paralleled with people who forget to brush their teeth. You get up and get ready for work only to have gotten in the car and are now halfway there when you realize there is a disgusting taste in your mouth. Rather than go back home and do what should be done, you think to yourself that it may not be that difficult to just avoid breathing fire on whoever you work with. Chances are you'll do fine for the first hour or so until you eat something and then think again that you'll be able to mask it. But then, as if out of nowhere, people start to avoid you and reel back at every word you say.

This is why everyone should keep a little mouthwash in their desk drawer or something. Though you may be seen as a closet consumer, and that may even be a better excuse than the truth, but at least you'll be able to avoid breathing fire on people like the Dragonborn up here in the comic. It's not that you're a dirty person or anything of the sort. People forget, mostly children, but people do forget things like that. It's just one of those things that you need to remember to do when you're trying to make your way in the world. Otherwise, you'll be labeled a primitive savage and end up being alone for the majority of your life. At which point you can spend more money on video games.

15 You Are Ugly

The "same" from this comic comes from all of us looking into the mirror and realizing that we are ugly. Unless you're one of those narcissistic people who finds themselves amazing looking and also delusional, then you know what we're talking about. Sometimes some of us look into the mirror and realize we haven't done it in a while, and we think to ourselves if that is really what we actually look like. And have we looked like this grotesque goblin of a human our entire lives. Sadly, the answer is yes and we are stuck in this form forever.

It's no fun being ugly. Some people never realize it, and some people know it all too well and have no choice but to live indoors most of their lives and play video games because of how ugly they are. It's a shame and we can all blame Hollywood for the ridiculous social standard of beauty in the world. Not that we don't really like looking at pictures of Brad Pitt and Katy Perry, but they sort of make us all look like ghouls. But you can take solace in the fact that one day in the future, maybe the world will get sick of seeing beautiful people and decide to turn towards us uglies in the same way that some people think bulldogs and rats are cute. Or even how people think newborn babies are cute when in reality they look a lot like aliens or goblins. Just don't tell the parents that.

14 Healthy Appetite, Growing Dragonborn

Everyone here knows what it feels like to have eaten too much food before some sort of physical activity. Hopefully, it's not just me. But there have been times where we all just devour way too much pizza or tacos and then have to walk back to the hotel or bar. It's one of those scenarios where you think to yourself that its good that you're walking after that massive meal because you'll either vomit or burn off some of the calories you just ate. Chances are it'll also help with digestion. That's got to be true, right? Walking upright after a huge meal aids in digestion?

Would probably have something to do with gravity.

But to be a warrior who's grossly overweight and stuck with a full stomach when the time for battle arrives must be a terrible feeling. You'd probably have to drink some sort of potion to make you not feel so terrible. But then if that doesn't work you'd only be making the feeling of fullness so much worse. Because if you didn't know, pouring a bunch of liquid into your stomach when it's full only makes you feel way more full because the liquid fills in all the little cracks and crevices left open by the digesting of the food. We think that's what is going on in this photo with the fat guy.

13 Must Be A Cat Person

When playing Skyrim, you never know what sort of animal may belong to someone. In this world, farmers may have pet trolls and bears and even a pet dragon. We just don't know. So when something comes running at you in the night, you may not have time to discern if it is an enemy or not. But you have to protect yourself so you attack. You attack and ask questions later. Even if that happens to be a question of whether you are a monster or not.

Which you are, and this guy might pull a John Wick on you.

But in this case of the comic. We have no choice but to agree with the Dragonborn's decision making. He did what was necessary at the time to stay alive. As long as he or she keeps repeating the phrase "I felt my life was in mortal danger" then the guards and police have no choice but to give Dragonborn the benefit of the doubt. That's how it works in home invasions in California anyway. See, you learned something today and you didn't even think that was possible. That's just one of the many perks to reading articles from TheGamer.com. Well done, class.

12 Worth Its Weight In Garbage

The way the Dragonborn looks in this comic is the same way we've all looked at one point in our lives when a relative gave us a present for Christmas or our birthdays that we didn't want. Like a shirt we would never wear or a hat. We don't even wear hats. And if we did, it wouldn't be a fedora. Get real, Grandma. Go back to your tomato patches.

It's not that we don't appreciate people giving us presents. It's that we realize that the present we don't want is the only thing we're going to receive from that person. And in the game, it seems like we then have to weigh how much time we spent achieving that goal or completing that quest to receive said gift. We may have gone through a lengthy ordeal and destroyed a bunch of corpses for this mission only to be rewarded with a piece of armor that we haven't had a use for since the beginning of the game.

We can't blame the guy who gives it to us though. He's probably doing his best what with trying to stay alive in this world of horrors. And make no mistake. It is a world of horrors. Just look at the Daedric armor the Dragonborn is wearing. If there are people like that walking around fighting dragons, the life expectancy can't be very high. Or can it? We just don't know.

11 He Took An Arrow To The Knee

We've all taken an arrow to the knee once or twice in our lives. It's the nature of being a traveling warrior. Often times a person can be doing something, going about their business when an archer hiding in a bush can loose an arrow right into their kneecap. Depending on what kind of armor a person uses and based on how much strength they happen to have in their legs may determine if the knee arrow is a career ender. No one wants to end up like the soldier chilling around Whiterun who used to be an adventurer.

It's pretty funny to hear that guy say that comment when you're playing Skyrim.

Even if you've played through the game multiple times. You'll just be strolling along a path or road and heading to some sort of quest or mission when suddenly some random dude is talking about taking an arrow to the knee. We have to think that whoever wrote that line of dialog at the company was laughing his behind off at the idea of it. The writer probably had no idea what sort of meme this simple line would spawn. But it's not even like it's that uncommon of a phrase. Is it?

10 Doorway Standers

There's only one person who is worse than a stairway sitter, and that's a doorway stander. Whether you're at a party, a public event, or just at your own house. People who get in the way of the common avenues of foot traffic are the idiots of this planet. The stairway sitters are most of the time at parties because after a while of being a bit out of it, they want to sit down but there are probably no seats. But a stair is really just a seat fundamentally if you think about it. But for people who want to walk up and down them, it's a huge annoyance.

But for this comic, we're here to talk about doorway standers.

These are the types of people that think it's okay to lean against a doorway or something when they're engaged in a conversation or the past time of people watching. Standing there, sipping on their beverage, in a doorway.

When this happens in video games it's ridiculous. It would happen all the time in the early Final Fantasy games as well. The NPCs would just non stop get in your way. And when you tried to move around them they moved too. In the same direction of you. It was frustrating, and if you're like me, your temper is about as stable as a radioactive isotope in an action movie. Get it?

9 This Is The Way Of Heroes

In any video game, characters have to eat all sorts of ridiculous things to survive. But in other scenarios, it seems that the heroes of the games eat things that make them stronger or faster or whatever. But after a while, us as the players sort of get desensitized. Especially in multiplayer games. You'll be enjoying yourself hanging out with your friends when you say to them that you need some more beaver hearts to make the potion you want. Even more sinister, you might only need them so that you can paint a wall or something the color you want.

Who knows what sort of evils go through your mind when you're playing video games.

We've all done things we would regret. And we all do things in games that we want no one else to see us do. It's why we spend so much time in the dark indoors. If people knew what kind of monsters resided in our brains, they'd never hang out with us anymore. So whatever you do, don't let your friends watch you play Skyrim, they may never look at you the same way ever again.

8 Slay This Dragon For Me, Bro

In this comic, it's obvious that the Khajiit is the NPC because anyone who backs down from a fight with a dragon is nothing other than a soft-served ice cream at heart. The only real reason anyone should walk away from a fight with a dragon is that they are so overpowered and sick of destroying dragon after dragon. It's simply the reality of the game that after a while you get totally tired of wrecking dragons left and right. Even if you turn up the difficulty.

The way to defeat them is pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

All you have to do is shoot them out of the sky and shout at them and then hack away with your most powerful attacks or spells. The funniest scenario is when a dragon is fighting a bunch of villagers and you don't even realize it. You run into a bunch of chaos and there is five giants and mammoths fighting two invincible NPCs and a dragon. Then all you have to do is strike the final blow and everyone walks away. It's pretty great and it's a free dragon soul. All for just being the best you that you can be. Mom would be proud. But dad will expect more.

7 I'm A Good Girl

How can people expect you not to steal from them when they leave money out on a table? Maybe we have to be more honest humans and not steal at all. But how can that be the case in a game where you can literally be a thief as your chosen path. The game wants you to steal whether or not you want to be a good boy or girl or be a complete scumbag. We think it's okay to be a scumbag every once in a while so you can enjoy the other facets of life. But to live that way is wrong.

And you'll lose friends fast.

The worst issue in Skyrim is when you actually don't want to steal from someone but you accidentally press the button that picks up an item right in front of the owner. Then they pull out their weapon and attack you and you have no choice but to defend yourself. And to make matters worse, you probably haven't saved your game in a while so you have to stick with your terrible decision making. That's when the fury is unleashed and an entire town is wiped away. Better to just save often.

6 There Is Depth To Criticize

Everyone knows that modding has changed the way many video games are played. It can add or take away whatever someone wishes their game to become. You can make it easier, or add some sort of crazy characters that make the game almost unrecognizable. But it can still be loads of fun. But we recommend playing the game normally the first run through maybe with only a few texture mods to make it more beautiful.

After you've beaten the game and taken it all in you can go and turn all the dragons into Macho Man Randy Savage at your discretion.

The one thing you should never do is overload your save file with mods. Because it can get corrupted and ruin all of your save files. Sometimes the code written into the mods can make the actual game a little wonky and even cause a bit more stress to your system. We're of course talking about PC master race people because there isn't really much room for modding on the console. Just another reason to spring for the PC and stop being an 8-year-old child who needs an Xbox. Mods are for those who love to explore the evil darkness that is Skyrim.
