Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Had he done it once it might have been an interesting tactic, but doing it again after having already rolled just looks hilarious.

Yes, I've seen the gif before, but the caption makes it.

You're confusing "fake" with "awesome" again, Mokky.

It looks to me like he is going for a kneebar. He thought the opponent would rush once his back was turned. When he rolled you could be him reach put hoping to catch the leg.

What happens if I open this gif on another tab and there is nobody there to see it. Does it animate?

So people apparently do this IRL. Guess that makes Dark Souls a simulator.

Well, it ain't called Ultimate Fighting for nothing, I guess.

You can't roll in the Elder Scrolls.

[–]ceiling_goat 5 points6 points ago

Yes. Yes you can.

It's a perk in sneak if i remember correctly.

Stealth perk.

[–]Makijuiko 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You can if you get a certain perk in the stealth tree, but you have to be sneaking to use it.

[–]ninjaodume 0 points1 point ago

Clearly you aren't a sneak-thief.

Not sure why you got so many downvotes, you cannot roll in the traditional sense, and it is not a major part of the game at all, also pretty sure it's only forwards isn't it? Like into an enemy instead of away from it?
