How will you start the game and why?

Escape my execution, and live my life in riverwood, and focus on humanitarian skills like my personality and mercentile etc. then i will explore and get myself involved with the main quest and other intense things.

I will roleplay a suicidal character. Once I am freed from my execution I will throw a rock at a gaurd so they will kill me. Then I will come back here and complain Skyrim only had 300 seconds of playtime, not 300 hours.

Look for a market so I can sell the junk I've found on the way to the market.

I will come up with a character and just roleplay him. Walk around and just do what he would do.

Get Some monster. Play skyrim till i bleed out of my eyes. and then have six with my xbox with skyrim in it. Oh and for my legit awsner. Im probably just going to go on as far as the main quest will get me for a couple or so towns then go through town finding odd jobs for items and money.

I will gather my gear for some of the sneaking and the stealing from random npc's. Nyezz :celebration:
In between I'll read some books, some of them might contain clues to artifacts worth "collecting".
Who knows I might take a job in one of the villages as a cover up and break from my nighttime job. :wink_smile:

Hopefully I will not crash staring at the case and the premo map on the way home from the store at midnight.

I will get to the loading screen then have to go pee... Then as I start up again the cat will demand to be fed.. Then the bloodhound and freind will also want food.. Then my neice will want ramen noodles.. then ill need to go pee again.. THEN just as I start up someone will come to the door asking about alarn systems..THEN someone will call wanting to know if we need septic tank maintanence.. THEN there will be a great earthquake and the power will be out for a week. Then just as I get to the first rabbit and ready a fireball... The cat will need feeding.

With games like this, what I normally do is I kind of start the main quest... HOWEVER I am not in a huge hurry to complete it. I kind of go about it as if I were in my own characters shoes. In oblivion i escaped the dungeon, searched vilverin, then did a few things around the imperial city. After a week or so in game time I kind of went "Well, got some new stuff, I should give this to jauffre". Not only that, but if a sidequest pops up that picques my interest, I'll complete it. I dont rush through anything :P

Well, see, my nord's whole reason for being in Skyrim in the first place is to find his kidnapped sister and avenge his murdered father. He's from Cyrodiil.

He will stay in Riverwood for a few days, doing wood cutting, trying to gather info. on the region of Skyrim so he can begin the search for his sister. Eventually, he will find out (or take heed) to the fact he is Dragonborn, and will take his place as savior of the world.

Eventually, either during the main quest or after, he finds his sister as she had escaped the kidnappers and changed her name. She tried searching for her elder brother but could not find him. She also will wish for the avenging of her father.

I tend to try to get the first main quest out of the way, and then just go out into the wilderness to lose myself in the scenery. I must have spent at least thirty hours in both Oblivion and Morrowind just walking around and taking in the sights.

Usually in games like TES and Fallout, I put the main quest on hold as soon as I get it, or shortly afterward. Since this game has the new fast travel system, which forces you to explore. I will escape prison or whatever they make us do in the intro, then I will explore, and at least find all the major towns first. Then I will begin picking up side quests here and there, and do more exploring. For me the main quest is completed once I've completed all side quests, and when I have done a good amount of exploring. Also depending on how quickly DLC comes out for Skyrim, the main quest for me might be on hold for a long time.

Be annoyed at how the main quest wants me to go left when I want to go right, though after the tutorial I'll probably hit the nearest town, talk to most of the people there then kill as many as I can and see how this "radiant story" holds up.

I'll explore first and begin to level up my sorcerer, Creates-As-He-Speaks. I imagine I'll go looking for necromancer or wizard dungeons, and will slaughter all magic users I come across in order to sap their power. I will head west and north first. Then, once I am in the tundra marsh, I'll fly east to the college of Winter's Hold and begin formal mage training. After gaining enough power, I will betray my colleagues to steal their magic. :chaos:



that actually sounds pretty cool...I will also explore the first dungeon I see and then go on with MQ and factions

Play 'Hallowed be thy Name' by Iron Maiden

And then I will escape my execution

But he sings about the gallows. In Skyrim, you're about to get decapitated! :o

I will head towards the nearest town and may get sidetracked by a dungeon on the way, but once in town check out the shops, sell the stuff I got so far and buy gear to fit my playstyle, pick up some side quests to check out how the game plays, check out the guilds, and slowly work my up to bigger and better digs, while sprinkling in main quests here and there when it feels appropiate to start and stop them.
