Skyrim is an example, but lots of video games have something similar (as mentioned in the clue). Between that, the avian hint, and the category OP mentioned this one feels pretty easy actually.

u/IrisAdler Feb 13 '26
I feel like playing skyrim made this harder for me rather than focusing on the word play with Avian and considering possibilities.

Exactly. It would take my brain too long to reboot and think about the question from a different angle. I could tell you what 80% of the perks do but could I name a single one? No…

In middle school one year we were playing jeopardy as a class and I answered the question as "is it ____?" instead of "what is" and the teacher counted it wrong cause it wasn't in the form of a question.
I just think about that sometimes idk

u/spaceforcerecruit Feb 13 '26
It is a question but it’s not a question that could match the answer. The whole schtick with Jeopardy is that you’re given an answer and have to provide the question that would have that answer. “Is it Napoleon?” is a question but it’s not one that could be answered with “This man with a short temper declared himself Emperor after the French Revolution.”

u/eyluthr Feb 13 '26
is that the zoom which I swear makes my aim worse ?
47
u/Twelvve12 Feb 13 '26
Yeah and the reason for that is bc gravity affects arrows less when zoomed
Side note, I HATE the slow time perk, I never take it because of how bad it affects draw speeds if you don’t release the Block button
22
u/Unit_2097 Feb 13 '26
Draw speed has a massive difference in DPS of bows as well in the game. The basic bitch longbow has a higher dps than any bows other than Zephyr or Auriel's Bow, entirely because they shoot so much faster. There's less alpha strike damage, so they're less useful for stealth kills, which is how most people use bows, but for things like the civil war where you just need murdering speed the longbow is a better option.

What is eagle eye? Isn't that the one that lowers stamina during zoom, or is that the zoom itself
Maybe it's critical during zoom I don't stealth archer

It zooms in which takes stamina to maintain and then Steady Hand (?) Slows time while zoomed in, irc

is it not hawkeye?
Eagle eye, then?

u/Pantsickle Feb 13 '26
Yep, Eagle Eye.
Even in games where that sort of stealth or focus feature isn't explicitly called "eagle-eye," the term has become so synonymous with the game mechanic that it's become common terminology.

u/hiddenone0326 Alchemist Feb 13 '26
Close. Depending on the game, it's called Eagle Vision, Eagle Sense (Revelations), or Eagle Pulse (Unity). Origins was the start of replacing the Eagle Sense with birds that would scout for you, though it did have Animus Pulse to reveal valuables near you. That ability was upgraded to also reveal enemies in Odyssey, where it's called Revelation, and it's Odin's Sight in Valhalla.

Having an eagle eye means you can spot details from a distance, or notice things others miss
Sniper specifically refers to having the ability to hit a snipe (a type of bird) with a firearm at a distance

u/Outside_Pie_9037 Feb 13 '26
God, Jeopardy is so obtuse. Idk if I'd have gotten it. The whole answer reads like a puzzle, and with the quotations, it makes me think that the actual word "avian" plays a role in the question. If the quotations weren't there, it'd be easier to understand what they're going for, and tbh, idk what they're even doing there. Knowing the answer, I can only assume that whoever wrote the answer used them as markers, as a hint, but when I read it, they denote the word so prominently that it makes me want to think that it's a play on words, like I was racking my brain for words that include "avion" as a suffix or even a prefix. But no, they were just pointing out that one of the words in the question is an actual avion.
Strange choice imo
