thanks.
I take back my post from earlier today. I was in a bad mood when I posted it.

No need to take back such words, I didn't approve all the countless other aspects of Skyrim.
So probably you're still playing Skyrim not like you should play it.

I dont want to argue so I'll just say this. There is no wrong way of playing Skyrim. Also you dont play Skyrim, you live it.

I disagree.

As I said to each their own, your view on skyrim is simply very narrow

You don't know it so you can't say it's shallow or not.

can you tell me the right way to play it. I want to play it properly.

That will be a long lecture, let me begin with a few major points.
hardcoe Role-Playing. ( There was a good thread a while ago. )
Be a Lore nerd.

Nothing odd about trying to make attractive-looking characters. Artists do it fairly often.

This, on the other hand, is a tad weird.

I didn't say shallow I said narrow, in your opinion there is only one "proper" way to play skyrim, that is the definition of narrow minded.

Well it's not one way.
It's a set of strict rules ( A huge amount of them. ) of playing that if you don't follow them you're not playing Skytim properly.

hardcoe roleplaying- I do this by making a character I will enjoy playing.
Be a TES lore nerd- this has nothing to do with playing Skyrim.

fixed that for ya

I never knew skyrim had rules.

I'm not sure about the hardcoe Role Playing part, are you sure you checked out the "Ridiculous Role Playing Rules" thread ?
Lore, well, to play Skyrim properly you should know your Lore, and avoid idiotic questions of "Why is Daedric armor the strongest?"

His oppinion is law.

I did check the thread.
Daedric armour isnt strongest though. Any armour can reach the cap... Including HIDE.
I do read TES lore sometimes and I know it is not needed to play Skyrim properly.

There are a lot of them! How do you find time to actually play the game when you spend so much time on character creation?

In LORE, LORE!!!!!!
You see ? that's exactly what I'm talking about.

The first rule of playing Skyrim is:

THERE ARE NO FLAMING RULES!!! (No pun intended)

Rules do not make an RP. Having a developed character idea, personality and agenda do, and even then not necessarily. I RP pretty heavily, but one of my friends RP's in a much looser fashion. His characters want to become the best at what they do. He has no issue fast travelling, but he picks a DnD style alignment of sorts and sticks with it.
That is too rigid for me, but does it make him (or myself) any less of a roleplayer? Nope.

As for lore, it may help your RP to know a bit and it will certainly mean you'll understand more of what's going on. But is knowimg all of Vivec's 36 Sermons from memory really necessary to enjoy the game? Nope.

Get your head out of your [censored] and accept that people play differently. No one style is better or worse than any other.


Aaaaaand I'm done feeding.

i havent read everything in TES lore. Calm down. Here take some skooma http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=ms-android-samsung&hl=en&site=webhp&tbm=isch&source=hp&ei=biibUcCkK4rP0AWV-YDoDg&q=skooma&oq=skooma&gs_l=mobile-gws-hp.3...1013.1088.0.1227.2.1.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0...0.0...1c.1.14.mobile-gws-hp.&biw=320&bih=443&sei=Ev2cUZmHL7K00QXBy4H4Cg#biv=i%7C0%3Bd%7C6cF9E-Q23jGv1M%3A

I don't give a rats ass about lore, I do however play with my own strict RP rules. I have to say I pretty much disagree with everything you've said in this thread, you seem a tad bigoted.

That's how I am, stop trying to convince me and use your "To each his own" that you love using so much.
Deal with it.

I have over 3,700+ hours of playing time. I make multiple characters then pick my favourite.
