I'm in the middle of writing my backstory for a new character concept called 'The Wolf of The Reach.' Basically he's going to be a Nord Barbarian who lives off the land, only entering a city if absolutely necessary. I have a question though.. How will my character sleep? For immersions sake, I always make sure that my character has three meals a day and has a good nights rest. I'm really into roleplaying.

Any advice would be appreciated, I don't want to resort to waiting under a tree.

Perhaps you could just go to the hunter camps and sleep on their bedrolls? I think that's the only solution for not having to wait. If you wait I'd recommend finding a nice cave to clear and sleeping there.

And the city-less life is great! That's how I played my Khajiit

Good idea. Aren't their beds marked as owned? If not I will enjoy killing them.

I think they are marked as owned, yes. Surely there must be a mod to fix that out there somewhere...

360..

Aw... that svcks. Just did a quick search at the nexus and found http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/19943/?.

What about bandits then? Their beds aren't marked as owned are they?

You could always resort to forsworn camps, perhaps kill them and pretend your character found them abondoned, ( to minimize creepyness).

his list might help you if you want to store things: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Category:Skyrim-Places-Safe

Since he's in the reach he could just wipe out a forsworn camp and stay in one of them.

He's a Barbarian. He dosen't give a damn who ends up dead in order for him to survive.

He steals armour from the dead also, as he will never be entering a city. I'm thinking a 2H Axe would be fitting for this guy, though I prefer hammers.

Are you looking for a home base, or wondering how to locate beds in your travels?

I think clearing out a small bandit/forsworn lair is a great idea. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Four_Skull_Lookoutt is perfect, in my opinion. It's a Nordic Ruin, not a Forsworn camp, so ideal for a Nord barbarian. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Cliffside_Retreat is another nice option, but unless you kill the hunter, you'd be sharing your space.

Wiki also says that killing a home owner frees up their bed from owned status, but I doubt your barbian wants to live in a house!

Four Skull Lookout is a fantastic suggestion indeed. I have no qualms about sleeping in a Forsworn Camp, as long as they don't respawn.

I'm sure you'll have no problem clearing them out again if they do.

Will he sleep in an inn outside of town? Old Hroldan Inn is in the Reach and you can sleep in Tibers old bed for 10 gold

I don't want to have to depend on that one location throughout my travels though. It's a bit ironic to retire to a peaceful after a day of robbing, scavenging, looting and slaughtering innocents.

ha well you could RP it as a regular customer that they fear there but know that every night you return to Tibers Room which is now your room that no one is allowed to use ever again. It's like you walk in and Eydis fetches your favorite mead and a bowl of water to wash the blood off your hands

You shouldn't really have a problem sleeping in the Hunter camp beds, there are many many spread out across Skyrim and from them if you're not going to hunt on that particular day you could just buy what they've caught, at the very least since its Roleplay we're talking here and not sleeping gives 0 Consequence in game just wait it out in a cave by the entrance or under a tree.

I kinda wish you were on PC (I'm assuming you're not) a flock of encounter mods have gotten wind and would add immensely to your immersion, like getting jumped by a bandit or beast while you're trying to catch some shut eye.

Good luck
