Losing Friends and Alienating People

Post » Sun Apr 14, 2013 2:02 am

I've made a lot of threads about making friends. I like to make friends in this game, so much so thathttp://www.gamesas.com/topic/1454427-dropping-items-to-make-friends/ in hopes that they would ask for it and become my friend. But what about the other side of the coin? The game's mechanics allow you to make enemies, which is something that I've tried to avoid for the most part but still ended up doing over the course of several quests. Has anybody gone out of their way to make a lot of enemies? To become the most hated man or woman in Skyrim?

Good question, I once created an evil character sole bent on destroying anything good put before him. It was a tough play through and went against everything I personally believe in although helped me see my dark side. Most of the time irrespective of my character creation I end up playing some one with pretty much the same morals as myself, it's difficult to completely alienate ones self from a fantasy character even in the deep depths of role-playing.

Yes. I'd say the only times I go on a rampage are when I find cannon-arrows. Don't like children? No problem with cannon arrows!

I go out of my way to let the Stormcloaks, the imperials and to a greater extent, the Thalmor that I am their ARCH ENEMY.

Otherwise, if I'm attacked without provocation, you're dead. I take those distance warnings from bears/bandits and other hostile enemies serious and will go the other way.

If it were possible, I would make friends with nature. Such as the rabbits, deer, moose, foxes.
