Description
For this feat alone I'd be ready to pack my things and move into Skyrim. Sure, I might get myself eaten by a random sabre cat the first time I take a peek outside, but at least I wouldn't have to spend four months coughing and sneezing like I always do in real life. I've caught an annoyingly persistent cold like five times during the past winter alone - I'm telling you, it gets old really fast.So three things I'd gladly import from Skyrim into my life: Potion of Cure Disease, fast traveling and ability to improve skills just by opening the first page of the book. I'd be more than content with that.

Woke up with a sore throat this morning, and this comic is exactly what I was thinking. Awesome!

I hope you get better soon! -hugs-
Also we need that one potion of cure disease. It would solve everything!
But of course we need magical magicness.

You wouldn't import the ability to run forever? (Though not sprint forever)
Or being able to carry 300 pounds of broom god knows where?

As cool and flashy as those abilities are, I'd say Potion of Cure Disease or even a proper healing spell would still win in my books...

This is why we need TES magic in our lives. Got a massive injury? Use heal!

I could use a Potion of Cure Disease, too. I'm getting sick of this goddamn cough D: . Time for some more tea, I guess.

Likewise! I feel like I've been coughing since the first snow came...

That's exactly how I felt last week, just recently got rid of some virus my doctor -suspected- to be near bronchitis, and all I could think was "Isn't there some shrine or alchemy shop around here?!"...
I guess that's how those poor sickly people in the Whiterun Temple feel, though, the ones that are always moaning and crying out whenever I walk in... =[

Colds are bad. Real bad. Are you free of one at the moment? Funny pic. But... my favourite power would be telekinesis. I know it's not in this pic, but it's just me. Fast travelling would be rather handy. And the cure diseases potion would be equally handy. One of my... problems is I have chronic fatigue syndrome (also known as ME). You used Skaila for this one, didn't you?

I perfectly agree.
If only it was this easy -___-... huu...
nice work

I have to keep explaining to my son who is a Mario games fan that people don't get infinite lives. I can't wait to have this conversation with him when he is a little older and plays RPGs.

XD Yeah. Wish they had Potion of Ultimate healing!

My inner envy monster squirms every time I see those fast recoveries. I guess that's also why no one uses eyeglasses there. And having a mana pool would be great too.

I love it! I'm always laughing at your comics and my husband keeps giving me weird looks.

Out of all the things you've pointed out this is perhaps the most valid in reality. Why can't we just have single drinks that heals our wounds? Why Reality?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
having potions like these is my dream too! Im kind of hypochondriac...
anyway, I hope you get better soon! I love your comics!

Haha! This is really good. So true, and so well done. I love your comics! XD

This is both funny and depressing...This had to come out while I'm sick :/ (Great comic though)

If healing would be that easy... it would be way too expensive

Potion of Cure Disease sure would make it a heck of a lot easier to be diabetic...or as I like to call it...diabadass...

Troll's toes don't help either... That was a huge disappointment...

Sure, the fire salts are easy enough to find, but why is it no-one ever has any black soul gems? How do these people expect me to build a fire antronach?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i was getting the black ones off bandits. also, if you buy a few of the homes, like the one in Windhelm, there will be tons of soul gems on the shelves in the enchanting room :} Usually a few black ones there too

I was trying to play along with the whole games vs. reality joke. In the game I just use Azura's Star. Love putting enchantments on regular clothing and fighting bandits in bard's outfits.

ROFL never thought of that XD
my bad :}

HAHAHAHAHA! So true! But then again an arrow to the knee is devastating and will kill an adventurer's career. No one wants to be a town guard you know.

Me too, but it seems that this is going to be a long series...

ADSWEOIDS THIS IS SO TRUE!
X______X Illness...if only there were Potions of Cure Disease and shrines to heal illness at IRL...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
lol! I perfectly agree!
I know how it feels catching the same illness several times in a row. We had an infection of Pink Eye running around Upper Michigan a few years back and I caught it three times in two months. And I didn't have minor cases. Oh no, my luck's not good enough for that! 
All three of my illnesses were so severe my eyes sting like fire, and most of the time they were glued shut with the crust that formed on my eyelashes.
I'm not joking. It was not fun at all.
