How Do You Retire Your Characters?

Post » Mon Jun 10, 2013 5:32 pm

My Nord. (generally good)

I had him put his most used armor sets on the mannequins in the Windhelm house. I had him marry his long time follower Mjoll. Dressed in his finest clothing he was finally able to rest.

My Altmer (evil incarnate)

I had him make a brand new house. I made the house into the best type of home for a mage. It was a new Academy of mages. I had Neloth's apprentice become my new Steward. svck IT NELOTH! I AM THE BETTER OF US! I went on a final killing spree to wipe out the Stormcloaks and finally have him dress in his fanciest robes, He finally got a chance to rest.

My good people retire by sitting in Lakeview and deleting the save.

My evil people die by jumping off a cliff and deleting the save.

Much like some of the others, I put his Armor and gear on the centermost Mannequin in Heljarchen Hall, Eat one last good meal while the Bard plays "Tale of the Tounges". Afterwards, I save and consider the character retired.

  1. They finish telling me their story.
  2. I grow tired of them / I'm inspired for another build.
  3. They die.

... whichever comes first.

I put their items away in the various chests in their home, have them stand in front of their bed, camera facing them for one last save and leave it as that. I only play them whenever I get bored and start to miss them.

For my main characters:

#1. Kit him out for travel and park him near the gate to Hammerfell.

#2. Inside Neloth's Tower with all of her belongings.

#3. Placed in the highest possible point in the Reach near the border to High Rock and Hammerfell. Deleted the file. He 'ascended' in the Crypt of Hearts. To where I don't really know. :b

#4. Same as #3

#5. Winhelm docks ready to sail to Akavir.

#6. In Solitude at Castle Dour.

Everyone else just gets deleted unceremoniously.

I retire my characters by saving their game when they are at their homes. I NEVER delete my characters as that would be "killing" them instead of "retiring" them. I sometimes like to visit my old retired friends.

This pretty much sums up how I do it. I rarely do something special for their retirement though, just deleting the save or saving over it on a new character.

Depends on the character. . . and how well I liked them. My Evil vampire assassin was left to rot in jail when she got caught. (I finished the whole DB and volkihar side of DG with her, she had one last "job" and was caught). My TG character 0 murders 0 bounty, retired far far away from Skyrim, she was last "seen" on a horse headed over the border. Most are simply deleted.

I have not figured out yet how to "retire"my favorite Derik. He may just get married, have some kids and sit in at Candlehearth hall and tell stories of his adventures, after smithing/enchanting the best armor and weapons he can to give to Erik, so that he can continue to adventure.
