Firstly off hello everyone, this is my first post here, I've only just joined the community

The reason I opened this thread is to promote an idea that I previously suggested on another community, and that so far has had some success. This idea is to have individual blogs about our experiences on Skyrim, like if it were the adventurer's journal. Those interested would write from time to time what they've been doing on Skyrim, in whatever style you want. Some will role play and write as if they were the character, others will take more distance and comment the game, graphics, sound, etc.

Consider that we are all beginning from 0, everything we write will be genuinely personnal and not just made up (unless you're waiting for the guides on wiki to show up and then go adventuring, which is up to you of course). It will be very interesting to see how many different ways there are to discover the game, and in the end you get a journal to read sometimes and say to yourself "ah, the good old times".

Creating a blog is simple. You have Blogger and WordPress, the latter being a bit more difficult to use but more unique as well.


All blogs can be found in my list here (click "view all" below the list to check them all, there's too many): http://armathyx.blogspot.com

Sorry if this sounds a bit of an unfair move from me, making my blog central, but I own the threads about blogs and it gets tiresome to update them all + my own blog with all the new blogs coming out & I'm a busy person.

This is a great idea. If we get a bunch of us working together, we could have some very interesting blogs. Also I am doing video of my playthrough of skyrim and I will post the channel later. I'm on my phone right now and its kinda tough to do that.

Bumping for great justice and attention!

You can put mine up here too if you want. I'm Zinro on nexus

I'd be happy to do one!

Yeah, I'd do one. Need to do one for college anyway believe it or not.

Thank you guys for the thread bumps

welcome, here have a fishystick

It might be a good idea to post all of them in one place, that way we don't have to look at 12 separate blogs.

This.

What are you playing on?

How do you mean?

Our blogs are supposed to be connected, people should all make a blog list so people can browse through them without having to look around.

Would be fun to read other peoples experience, after I did my own playthrough, don't want to get spoiled a lot.

That sounds like an awesome Idea!

Well I just started on a skyrim blog this week

However, I'm planning on it being heavily roleplay based.. Next to that, I'm on xbox, so I'll have to work around not being able to take screenshots, probably by taking hires pics off the tv with a digital cam, so I can resize them small enough to be 'presentable', and by using screens from the web (will be plenty generic pics to go around once the game is out I suppose)

Anyway, you can find my blog at http://shilkaskyrim.blogspot.com/, feel free to have a look!
(still in initial stage, working on lore as we speak)

I'm still debating on whether or not to do one. I'm on the XBox so screenshots will have to be pictures from a camera of the TV screen. But I have an idea for an adventuring character that I could do a daily journal on.

Would people be interested in a mostly text-based journal for Skyrim?

I would love to do that. It would make playing through even funner I would think.



No one gave me a fishy stick when I joined..

Welcome here is your http://www.uesp.net/wiki/General:Fishy_Stick

Thank you! :celebration:

I'm in the same xbox boat as you, I'd be interested
(though I must admit it would somewhat depend on your writing skills, if it's well written and not presented as a dreaded 'wall of text' (punctuation and spaces help), then I'm game)

Well heck, that sounds fun. Count me in!

I'm a decent writer and I took a class on technical writing back in college so I'm well-versed in "white-space". Each entry would cover a day in my character's journey and I'd try to fit at least 3-5 unique pictures. I figure I could also include stock type pictures for cities, player home(eventually), work stations (cook pots, alchemy sets, forges), and other landmarks.

The tone would be humorous, but in character. I'd have self-imposed rules in addition to the game's mechanics (eating, sleeping, etc). For the most part the character would just be living his life but I'd include special "episodes" where he does a quest.

Just made mine.

I don't take fishsticks in the mouth, not a gayfish (south park referrence :°)


Will add it to my list of blogs later, about to go now.


No problem as long as you're not boring to read, just get it runnin


Same as for the previous fishy stick ^^


Will add as well buddy.

Well, you'll definately have my interest then, looks like it's time to get a blog ready for releasedate


I really like how you've created your character to be a very rudimentary figure, very oblivious (pun intended) of the world surrounding him uptill now.
Makes me already interested in what will happen next and how he'll handle things to come, as well as how his character will develop in the long run.
Very nice start.

Thank you.
I like the family tree of your character. Those kind of things are always interesting to me. Are they going to have any sort of part in her adventures or is it just for fun?
