So I bought that new game that all the nerds are nerding about (Skyrim) and, as with a lot of the fantasy-type games, you find yourself fighting giant spiders.
And that’s kinda fine.
I have a chronicled history of being entirely unworried by arachnids as a whole.
But sometimes when you kill them, they drop money. Like, pieces of gold.
This is deeply worrying. Because it leads to some questions.
What was the hulking great hairy spider I just slaughtered intending to buy? Is there an entire spider-economy somewhere of which I wasn’t aware? What kinds of goods and/or services does a spider the size of a large dog need? And from whom are they getting this stuff? Other spiders? Men? Are they buying things from scorpions?
Basically I’m just worried I may have killed giant spiders that were just going down to the corner-shop to buy milk and bread and maybe a paper. And I don’t want to be that guy.
