    I was thinking the other day how Superman and Elder Scrolls have evolved in opposite directions when it comes to flight

    Superman started by leaping tall buildings in a single bound, then he could fly

    In Morrowind you could use levitation to fly, then in Oblivion you are downgraded to leaping over buildings if you level up athletics and finally in Skyrim you can't jump or fly for shit

      If it helps most animals when they fly, are jumping really hard then gliding a bit. There are other kinds of flight. But that is the most common, so in that reguard it isn't far off. Birds of course are functionally swimming throughout the air so fuck them anyway

        what do you mean most animals? the majority of fliers by sheer volume, weight, species, or numbers are insects, which do indeed fly.
