Ten Crappy Ways to Die in Video Games

2)  Giant Field Goal, Skyrim

Can we take a moment to appreciate the genius that was Skyrim? Sure, it had its flaws. There were glitches, boring side quests, inane dialogue, and a  meme that simply won’t die. But, on the other hand, you have a game that realizes a living, breathing world; allows you to become a dragon slayer (and, later on, a dragon rider); imbues you with godly powers and trusts you with the destiny of an entire people. 

By the end of the game, you are able to summon one dragon to take on another, all while hurling fireballs at assassins and vampires and werewolves, and you’ll make it look easy. 

Don’t think for a minute, however, that you will be able to take on a giant single-handedly.
