Today's comic I feel serves to define the differences between the RPG Gamer and Bro-Gamer mentality. Just like in the comic I bet my friend that the character he played was a male Nord Warrior, and just like in the comic I was right. Why is this signifigent? Well a Bro-Gamer tends to play either first person shooters where the goal is to pretty much shoot people who aren't you, a very straight forward style of gameplay. Well in Skyrim the melee geared warrior that can soak up more damage than any other class is the most straight forward way to play Skyrim.
Now I'm not trying to bad mouth Bro-Gamers, just saying they play things differently, and are a little out of place in a game like Skyrim, just like an RPG Gramer would be really out of place in a Call of duty deathmatch, or in the huddle in a game of Madden.
