We seen loads of previews of Skyrim that talk about killing wolves, mooching around Riverwood and charging off to Bleak Falls Barrow. I must have read dozens! I came upon a slightly different take on Skyrim via a site called KillScreenDaily.
This journalist focused on what he could eat in Skyrim. Yes you read that right. He used his allotted time to see what he could learn about the various types of edible content in the game.
You can read the article via this link, but to summarise here's a list of what he found.
- butterfly
- salmon
- bees
- dragonflies
- torchbug
- beef
- chicken breast
- venison
- potato
- wheat
- cabbage
- eider cheese wedge
- grilled leeks
- horker loaf
- sweet roll
- cooked salmon steak
- grapes
- leg of goat
This got me thinking. How much time are we going to take with food in Skyrim?
Will you just grab any old food and stuff it down - for the modest health boost. Will you look to cook the food so that raw salmon becomes grilled salmon, for example, and confers better benefits.
Or maybe you'll go down the whole role playing route and carefully select ingredients with which to prefer tasty and balanced meals, making sure to eat regularly. We know there's no 'hardcore' mode - at least without mods - but that doesn't stop us from immersing ourselves in a full roleplaying experience.
Let's talk about food in Skyrim...
