As I may have stated in an earlier rambling, I'm relatively new to Skyrim, and TES games in general. Creating my characters backstory, the hows and whys he's being taken to Helgen, and his subsequent adventures for me to immerse myself in (and kinda self-DM at the same time) are one of my favorite parts of the game. I'm beginning to find myself getting a char. to a level of competence, not all powerful but able to hold his own, and a new story for another character begins to take hold and I start a new one. Anyone else do this often?

My new character is an Imperial assassin, recruited by a double secret shadow organization within the Empire that doesn't necessarily agree with the current regime. His training must be done outside the Legion (Thieves Guild, DB, etc.) so as to not garner suspicion, his arrest being part of that training and the dragon attack a welcome diversion. Just thought I'd share. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, or whats left of it depending on where you are on the marble!
