Accept and you wake the next day on the floor of a temple devoted to the goddess of beauty. Spend enough time in Skyrim’s taverns and you’ll have a random encounter with a barfly named Sam Guevenne, who challenges you to a drinking competition. It’s exactly the kind of tattoo Geralt would like, to be honest.īut as far as bad choices and lost memories the morning after go, the Dragonborn from Skyrim takes the cake, and then vomits that cake right back up into a bedside bucket. You can either track down the herbs she needs to perform the medieval fantasy equivalent of laser removal surgery, or put up with having a naked woman with a sword and shield prominently displayed on your neck for all to see. Geralt then turns to Triss, his sorceress girlfriend, for advice on what to do about his new ink. This being a Witcher game it predictably involves a brothel. Geralt’s quest briefly stops being something about some kings or whatever and becomes a much more immediate search for answers about what he got up to the night before. It begins with some knife-throwing, arm-wrestling, and shit-talking, and soon he’s waking up half-dressed on a riverbank with no memory of how he got there and a brand new tattoo on his neck. In The Witcher 2 a sidequest hidden in the starter town has him deal with the consequences of over-celebrating with a fantasy special forces squad called The Blue Stripes. The Witcher games in particular subject their ‘hero’ Geralt to plenty of that. There are other consequences to drinking too much beyond addiction, and the one most of us will have to deal with in real life is regrettable decision-making. Your stumblebum drunken fist attacks cause a lot of damage, especially the one where you topple over like a tipsy oak, though you have to keep drinking to keep the punch party going. When Hou is your companion he casually lobs bottles of wine at you in combat drinking them allows you to switch to the drunken master style of kung fu just like Jackie Chan. BioWare’s wuxia RPG gives you a companion named Henpecked Hou who is as much a drinking buddy as a member of your fantasy fellowship. Drink the right booze in Jade Empire and you can learn martial arts. Games sometimes have odder ideas about the benefits of drinking than simple bonuses to your toughness or health. And if there’s some kind of bonus involved, like getting health back in Redneck Rampage, all the better. My Commander Shepherd samples the krogan liquor, my Edward Kenway wakes up in a haycart after three or seven ales, and my Adam Jensen didn’t ask for this woozy tilting of the Earth or all the double images, please make it stop. I feel it’s my patriotic duty as an Australian. He lures Snotty Boy to the barnyard with a corndog on a string, and the animals proceed to pummel him with various barn-made weaponry until he wants off the property.Underwhelming as it sometimes is, I’ll try getting drunk in any game that lets me. Otis realizes he got everyone into this and has to get them out of it. He proceeds to torment the animals and make their lives a living hell. He goes back and finds that the bar-b-q was really a tick killing machine and that their whole stupid escape was for naught./Otis and the animals put on a fake commercial to trick the Farmer into going to the made-up “TurnipCon,” allowing Otis to throw himself a giant birthday bash, but the plan backfires when Snotty Boy is hired to take care of the barn in the farmer’s absence. He vows to go back and get the animals they left behind. They land in a grassy oasis, where everyone is happy…except Otis.
A betrayed-feeling Otis fashions a balloon using Pig flatulence to float the animals away from the barnyard forever. The animals think he’s given up his vegan ways and plans to eat them.
The Farmer gets what appears to be a bar-b-q grill in the mail. Escape from the Barnyard/The Good the Bad and the Snotty
