We ' re Americans . Our fucking job is to dictate what other countries do . <| sep |> Yeah yeah . But they will no matter what . Just deal with it . <| sep |> Nooo , she learned while with the family . I wasn ' t there when she started it , but I imagine that it was by paying attention , listening to them while they talked and taking note of context , etc . The way we learn language as children , just a little harder . Why didn ' t he tell you they didn ' t speak English ? That ' s pretty important to know . <| sep |> Okay , so I ' d just gotten out of the abandoned shack in the Dark Brotherhood questline . I step out into the world , intending to head straight for Falkreath . Except . I couldn ' t fast travel , because there were enemies nearby . Great , fucking mudcrabs . No . no , it wasn ' t a mudcrab . It was a dragon . More precisely , TWO DRAGONS who had spawned RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER . Oh , and I was like level four at the time at most because I ' d decided to do the DB questline right after killing the first dragon because that ' s a GREAT idea . And I had next to no potions or food . I have never fought so hard in my life . So much savescumming , so much potion and food abuse . The dragons were just far away enough from each other that I could fight one and not aggravate the other , but close enough that even if I killed one I couldn ' t fast travel away and save myself . It took me an hour and a half to defeat both of them . Could I have just bolted for Solitude ? Maybe , but I wanted those dragons fucking dead . I eventually did it by using the weirdest tactic I ' d ever had to employ . Near one of the dragons was a bunch of Frostbite Spiders . Try as I might , I couldn ' t quite level up in the course of fighting the dragons , but the extra skill experience from fighting the spiders as well pushed me up a level . And of course , when you level up you fully heal . BUT , you can do this at any time after you level up ! So I could do it during one of the dragon fights , saving on potions and food . Of course , that meant I had to aggro the spiders . which put me in the range of one of the dragons . So that sucked . And now I always spend a bit of time doing random quests from inns and Jarls before I set off on any major questline . NEVER . AGAIN .
