The funny thing is, although we all use and take for granted technology, very few of us really know how most of it works, and fewer still could demonstrate and re-create it with our own toil. Most normal modern people warped into a fantasy setting like Skyrim's, or even a historical one, would probably find themselves with far more disadvantages than advantages as a result of their lifestyle. How many people can bake bread, sew clothes, fish rivers, hunt and skin animals, make leather, forge weapons?

We use a lot of technology, but an awful lot of skills -- the ones that'd actually keep you alive in Skyrim -- have been lost. Not to mention the resulting physical condition of the average person.

And on a more light-hearted note... I'm pretty sure the wheel has already been invented in The Elder Scrolls setting.

If Skyrim was a real place and you somehow got teleported there what skills would you pick (or just what would you do)?

(keep in mind that this being a "real world" and you are just a regular man or woman so running into the first dungeon and getting yourself killed probably wouldn't be on top of your to do list)

I would pick :
illusion - invisibility and chameleon are priceless , charm spell would make me popular with the ladies, and so on ...
conjuration - why fight when you can cower in the corner cloaked and let the Dedra do your fighting for you
alchemy , maybe as a job

anyways , lets hear it...

EDIT
( and lets assume you get teleported in a town , not in the middle of a monster infested forest, and you are naked ...err, maybe not naked , but no guns and cell phones either)

well if you really want to get real, the average person would die within 4 days of being transported to a new place. why? because the immune system would not be able to contend with all the new viruses, bacteria, and all else that we have built up an immunity to through the ages.
