Character creation addiction

Post » Sun Jun 02, 2013 1:30 pm

Are you addicted to character creation.



I make multiple characters every day just for fun. I dont use them but when I finnish with my Character I am playing, I will make a few characters and save right after naming. I then pick one to use and delete then others.

I have made about 30 character I have played and over 500 just for fun.

Edit: If you want. you can post your favourite character.

Yes, I do make characters often! The characters that actually turn out well I take on a long run.

And yes, I take time making my characters, especially regarding backstory. The backstory helps me shape their appearance. For instance, my Argonian Night Stalker has many scars from his apprentice training.(He failed a bit in his earlier life)

No, not at all. I rarely, rarely, make new characters.

Should I make one though, I spend a lot of effort in the creation menu. I want him or her to look good for the travels ahead.

I will spend twenty minutes making a character to play. I have a Female Nord down to about a minute until I get to Hair and Hair Color :unsure:

I put a lot of detail into my characters. To the point where I've started making them in the Creation kit and then adding them as a preset, ready to go!.

I don't make new characters often, but I do change the appearances of my ongoing characters.

I am totally addicted to character creation. I do try to create something different than what I have created before. Today is a particularly sad day for me because somehow, I saved over, or deleted the game with my "Undertaker Altmer". So totally bummed.

New characters are soooo much fun to play. I only seem to lose a bit of interest in them when I hear Delphine say "Can you absorb a Dragon's soul?".

I think I'll create a sixy Imperial chick who specializes in alchemy, archery and maybe illusion. Will do NO enchanting and NO smithing with her to see how she turns out. Will use alchemy to buff everything.

Oh, but maybe I'll create another Undetaker Altmer Necromage who specializes in One Handed swordplay with bound sword. Im bummed I deleted that guy, he was one of the most badass characters I ever created.

I save twice every time because I used to accidently delete my characters when trying to delete old saves.

Character creation is an unofficial mini-game to me.

My first character to not be a Daedra worshiper... hell, my first character to worship any Aedra period...

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/577864844178293086/49D636082B4275C7F61FF26D0F84FE8AFC0153A7/

Started out as a simple, crazy idea of just committing mass genocide on the Nords for retribution of the Betrayed... He's actually a lot of fun. One-handed with purely frost magic and a shield, archery, and summoning only Frost Atronachs, Ice Wraiths and Wispmothers. Lost and alone, and desperate for guidance from Gelebor; he makes http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/577864844162982693/CAFD4EA6B844348F7C944F6B1746C6504F66D699/ and it's way-shrines. He now wields Auri-El's holy bow and shield, and recently discovered he's http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/577864844178254278/5D1BF61582B0059161C119EC4849D7CAEF394A74/ The Nords seem happy a Dragonborn is here... boy are they in for a nasty surprise...

Going to finish the main-quest first... then lead the Betrayed to http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/541833502858240741/74D48634DBD050FAF78616804F9CF2EC17CF8864/ Gelebor can become High Priest of Auri-El and re-educate the Betrayed on Auri-El, peaceful living, and enlightenment through Anuic ancestor worship... http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/541835583472168437/619D451E416BE28C40DD4A67E6DFC6305714A889/

In retrospect, I've spent quite a bit of time on character creation. I want the face to have character, to tell stories without having to actually speak. I just wish that there were more sliders.
