walked into a beer bar

This guy walked into a steel bar one time and has felt the need to clarify ever since

In their defense, they provided some specific details that help to paint a very clear picture of the scene. You get very different rumors at "a beer bar in the pnw" vs. "wine bar in California" vs. "martini bar in Toronto" vs. "dive bar in Chicago" (that one also has the entrance to the Thieves Guild)

That latter kind in Minneapolis is especially niche as the foyer is a two-part locked and obfuscated affair that only allows a single entrant at a time. While the rest of the group waits in the initial enclosure, each individual in turn is allowed to progress into the second section, and there is given a mystery task to complete before being allowed into the bar/guild's interior.

edit: maybe unrelated, but how the fuck did I earn a downvote in less than 60 seconds since I posted this? reddit's leaking assclowns again.

To your edit: presumably bots

I'd like to hope so, though I've seen more Reddit whinginess in downvotes-sans-supporting-argument in the last few days than ever before, so... 🤷🏼‍♂️ ¿Por que no los dos?

Don't forget a Pub which is a different vibe yet again

And taverns

A guy walks into a bar and says "ouch!"

[–] [email protected] 42 points 11 months ago

He probably didn't even finish the quest

That's when you travel to the local volcano and run into a bunch of faceless freaks who are worshipping some dude named Dagoth.

Probably meant a dive bar, or generally just a spot where most people are drinking beer, as opposed to a liquor bar where most people are drinking mixed drinks. They have distinct atmospheres.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe they meant a brewery's bar.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

Or maybe they have never actually been to a bar?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's a bar that primarily or only serves beer.

In the Pacific Northwest, you have to make the distinction. Lots of gin bars and whiskey bars.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yes, a beer bar is a bar, that's how subcategories work. Feel free to check the wikipedia article on bars for more infos on different bar types! Believe it or not, they're not all the same and most bars serve alcoholic beverages that aren't beer!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Only reading this did I realize it didn't say "bear bar". I just assumed it was a gay bar, it made more sense than "beer bar".

I feel kinda bad cuz I'd be one of those NPCs that just says the same canned line about the weather over and over without any quests or lore to share

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Did you ever find thst hiker?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Any news from other parts of Tamriel?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Maybe that is how you become the pc's character?

That pfp monkey is wall texture that apears frecuently in the indie video game "Cruelty squad"

Does anybody know where it is from?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

You cannot tell me that's supposed to be a monkey.

How.

They'll also yell at you if you stick your hands in their pockets but don't steal anything. Then they'll be super friendly to you on a dime.
