I choose for King of the castle so u can rule your own little castle:) If this isnt confirmed i will hope for a mod/dlc.


And dont forget about servants and gaurds:)

Are you asking what we, the players, would want our characters to be...?

I don't want to have to explain again why being king would be incredibly hard to implement and totally different from the whole playstyle of the game or if not, completely and absolutely unrealistic and different from the lives of all other rulers.

I will be a wandering hobo, like my good friend, the Doctor. http://s2.hubimg.com/u/776573_f260.jpg

Well actually what kind of play style.

I don't have a specific play style, what I can say for sure is at some point (far) in the game my hero gets tired of wandering and likes to have a nest of his own. A castle would be nice with all the management it can imply (servants, farmers, defenses, weapons, cooks, horses, etc).

Master of the misteries of my own house, just to pass by, have some good night of sleep dispose the treasures and wonders i ve collected, make some potion, and out i am to see what wonders this world have, and put myself in [censored] up my [censored], and try to survive my own imbecility.

A shield a weapon and an armor is all i ask, beer, gold and females are just thing to adorn the day of the warrior.

... Too much Saxon Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell.

I most certainly second that!
I've always found playing as a powerful character who's got pretty much everything he could want tends to get boring after a while. Playing as a more wandering hobo-like character with more goals to reach than there are trees in the forest is always a lot more fun and exciting.

I'd love to do a mainquest where I will only be treated as a beggar and I save the world, but still stay a beggar. Saving the world for 10 coins and killing dragons with a wooden stick! Now that would be badass.

Being a badass hero is really boring, it has been in every RPG for the last 20 years, I never like mainquests just for that. Annoying already.

4 Words " Hobo with a Shotgun "

The game can always include options for each. Not necessarily being able to become king, as I don't think that would work very well with the Elder Scrolls gameplay mechanics. I mean, would you want a king who is constantly ignoring matters of state to go off and loot dungeons? To do being a king properly, you need to allow the player to atually manage a kingdom, and really, that deserves to be its own game. Though I wouldn't mind the game giving the player the option to reach a position where you would have a degree of authority, like in Morrowind's great houses. You can join one, if you choose, and slowly rise through the ranks, though you don't get any actual management of your house's policies even once you reach the highest rank, you do get a stronghold built for you, and that's nice, I wouldn't mind seeing something like this in Skyrim, albeit with a faction more appropriate for the game. Of course, it should be an optional questline, after all, the Elder Scrolls series has always been about being who you want. Obviously, it doesn't mean you can literally be whoever you want as there must be limitations on what you can do, it's just that "Be whoever you want, within reason." doesn't sound like quite such a good slogan, still, more options never hurts, as long as it's within reason.



So basically exactly what you are at the start? Generally, RPGs start with your character having nothing, but by the end of the game, your going to have come pretty far, that's the entire point, having the player start with everything would be boring because than there's nothing to strive for, but having you end with nothing would be pointless because it renders all the character progression you went through, all your struggles, utterly meaningless.

No, I was talking about being a king.

Wandering hero for the most part. If owning a castle is an option I'd definitely dig that too.

I don't even want to be recognized as Dovahkiin. I want to be a nameless whisper.

Just a humble wandering Magi with no wealth but his tower. Where he stores artifacts he deems to powerful to be left unwatched over.

Yes! :clap: Awesome movie is awesome!

All of the above? I usually play more than just 1 character. Some might be king of a castle (eventually), some might remain hobo's their whole lives, others might be wandering heroes never settling down.

That's the great thing about TES games (especially with mod support), I can do them all in one game. :tes:

I vote for the caste.... But make it so no one will come intill their persuaded or you pay them.... Peasants would be good for paying...

Hm, owning a castle would be really cool. However on my first play through I'd be a wandering hobo (stealh based character with kleptomaniac tendencies ).

I like the wandering hero approach. In Oblivion, after looting many dungeons, defying the oblivion gates themselves and completing every side quest like the good samaritan, I like to buy a house in a reasonably quiet community, having my hero seclude himself in solitude, retiring to become a wealthy legend, all but a whisper. I lived in Bruma, and performed day to day activities, y'know, roleplaying. I can see myself doing that in Skyrim, however, once Dovakiin had rescued the world from the evil jaws of Alduin, I picture him retiring to become a woodcutter, because you can cut wood in this game ^^/ Its gonna be one epic experience though I can tell you that much for sure!

Wandering Hero... like Liu Bei... kinda

None of them, really: I want my character to be "just somebody" who unwittingly finds some unwelcome excitement in their life and then goes back to being just somebody again. I didn't really like the whole "saviour of the universe, chief of the Fighters Guild, Archmage" etc in Oblivion and that too many games seem to be afflicted with: it makes the world seem a small place. Especially when you get the rest of the population going "wow, it's the Saviour of Cyrodiil! And... whatevs."

On the other hand, I don't really fancy being an itinerant tramp either. Somewhere in between will do just fine.

Both. I want to start as a wandering hobo and spend ages working towards a rewarding castle and all the status that comes with it.

Well, we are already going to be the wandering hero from the main story of the game alone. If you mean afterwards? Since we will likely save Skyrim, being a lord of a castle would be pretty spectacular. BGS would have to implement in a system like this better though than what we have seen in the past with Morrowind and Oblivion.

I'm a bit torn on this one. I usually end up being the wandering hero. I love castles and would enjoy having one, but I never feel compelled to stick around any longer than it takes to drop my stuff off and leave. With any house, for that matter. I suppose if I became Queen of the Castle, then I guess it might give me a reason to stick around once in a while.

I decided to try a different style of playing Oblivion on my current character. This time I am wandering from dungeon to dungeon without doing any quests at all and only venturing into town to buy arrows and get some enchanted items repaired. I only had to go into a town twice in 20 levels and that is due to undead dungeons with zombie arrow pincushions. If not for the arrow loss from those undead dungeons I would never need to hit a town.

Definitely a Wandering Hero, but I wouldn't mind becoming a King at somepoint if it's an optional feature and not something that's being forced upon you.
