» Sun Jun 02, 2013 8:09 pm Forgive me if this thread does not fit in with Skyrim General Discussion, but I am seeking opinions on how one could most effectively play an Emperor Palpatine character, just as from the Star Wars films. It is my main one, and I believe I'm currently level 27.
I have completed the main quest with the understanding that I wish to create a sense of security and relative peace in Skyrim, so I could rise to the occasion and eventually lead the land. Additionally, I have been promoted to Legate of the Imperial Legion, the Archmage of the College of Winterhold, and the Listener of the Dark Brotherhood. With all of these accomplishments achieved, I believe I have quite a reputation, both sinister and in public, a respectable one. My main skills are destruction (with much use of lightning spells) and two-handed weapons at the moment, yet I am advancing more over time, such as enchanting, illusion, alteration, restoration, conjuration, and speech. I mainly wear a black, hooded mage's robe and Dark Brotherhood boots, or an otherwise elaborate robe with more color, so this is not a character that wears much armor. I am generally able to manage fighting enemies quite competently on Adept Difficulty, yet when some stronger enemies get too close, I would need to sometimes consume multiple health potions to survive. Apparently, I haven't yet achieved a near-invincible level of power, but that's what I aspire to with this character. The character's race is a Breton.
How would you go about playing an Emperor Palpatine character? Has anybody else tried roleplaying this fictional character, one that in the Star Wars universe, is a sinister, powerful, and persuasive mastermind? I welcome your suggestions.
