Getting Fat In Skyrim Is Easier Than You Think

As the upcoming comic strip points out, there are times during Skyrim when you absolutely, positively have to heal–normally, this occurs when you get surrounded by enemies. Unfortunately, it’s these harrowing times when you realize you forgot to stock up on potions, leaving you very few options, save for eating like you were Kobayashi.

But what happens after you eat all that food? In-game, your health bar increases, but let’s see how such gluttony would work in real life:

That’s pretty accurate, especially when you consider the kinds of food the realm of Skyrim offers. Lots of meats and veggies, which can be combined to make delicious stews, are staples on Skyrim’s menu.

In other Skyrim news, if you haven’t seen it yet, over at Bethesda’s blog, they’re teasing the upcoming Skyrim DLC, Dawnguard. Aside from the cool image, there’s not much else to discuss, except the post indicates more information is coming at E3 and that the expansion will be coming to the Xbox 360 this summer. Based on that, one wonders how long it will take to propagate to other platforms.
