something you do with every character

Post » Tue Jun 25, 2013 10:13 pm

what 1 thing do you do with every character. Do Not post something silly like 'play the game'

I max out smithing as soon as possible and then legendary it, so I am a level 17 weak character and have stronger enemies to fight. I only do it so I can have more of a challenge when adventuring or dungeon diving. It makes me play tactically.

Conjuration is used in some form or another. I love summoning creatures as disposable allies. Azura have mercy on Bethesda if they ever remove conjuration or the ability to summon Dremora period.

not sure if it counts, but I always honor the lives of the fallen...

If I run across a dead body while traveling, or someone is killed infront of me or while trying to help me, I honor their Sacrifice By Usually putting flowers on their Corpse (or a weapon/armor of Value to my character if they died trying to help/defend me) on them, and moving their body to the nearest River. or, if there are no nearby Rivers, up Against a Tree or in a lake..

I pretty much begin the game the same way. I always do all of the easy quests in Whiterun and Riften first... then after those I branch out into "my character"

Collect Armor and Weapons and clutter that can be melted using the Mod "Ars Mettalica", even if My character is a Mage.

Commit Attempted Genocide on the wild goat Population, because of Hearthfire.

Putting characters on hold because of having to deal with Delphine, then running three or four characters through the same Quests at the same time.

Well, since nobody reacted to my post..

..I always end up stealing tons of stuff.

If I'm playing a nice paladin lawful good handsome prince type of [censored] I'll still steal something just out of habit, and I'll get self conscious about it afterwards, go flipping through my inventory just to find the item I stole and put it back.

I find that strange how I only feel naughty if I play a good character yet never feel naughty if I play a naughty character.

I guess that will remain so until the day I'm allowed to collect children's teeth and use them as caltrops against angry orphans whose home I'll burn down.

I usually make my characters attack all the Imperial soldiers in sight because of what they did at Helgen.

what they did at Helgen? putting a quick end to a war only hurting both the Empire and Skyrim, A War putting Son Against Father, neighbor against Neighbor, brother against brother?

Wow, if thats a bad thing I am King Richard the LionHeart

I always buy up pretty much all the clothes from radiant raimant, even if it really doesn't make sense with my character. I have a fear of feeling like wearing something and not having it on hand. It's the dumbest thing ever.

I always don't use magic or level up magicka at all.

I'm always a badass, am thinking about changing this and playing as a sissy or better yet a woman (then I can play on a really hard difficulty and feel like it makes sense with my character).

I always hate farangar.

I always do the main quest up to about kynesgrove pretty much immediately so that I know I have the full unrelenting force shout and also know dragons are fully active.

I always ditch all iron weapons asap and don't ever pick any up again.

I unfortunately usually buy breezehome but I'm determined not to do that this time around.

I always try and kill that giant before the companions can (even if you do they [censored] at you for not helping - god I hate them).

I mean for trying to execute my character for no apparent reason really. I just can't side with them ever.

Enchanting an Archery an before the ufo mod Conjuration mind you now I use Wyre Bash I've tweaked it so I can have 6 of anything I summon an 6 flame atronachs against a frost dragon is a glorious sight.

Not as glorious as 6 dremora lords but nothing beats the dremora lords.

it wasn't for no apparent reason. your character was arrested for something.. whether he was guilty or not is another matter...

you were likely put aboard the wrong Convoy (as Hadvar said, you aren't on the list), but that Legion Commander either saw it as an oversight or just didn't want to go through the required paperwork to find out where you were supposed to be sent...

I am not saying it was the right thing to do, but it was quite a common occurrence during the late middle ages.

I personally have tried both sides, but usually side with the Legion as both the Empire and Skyrim are stronger with the rebellion eradicated, while if Skyrim leaves the Empire, it only Hurts both the Legion and Skyrims total effective military strength

Hm that would make sense for my thief playthrough.

I tend to remain neutral about the civil war. My current character cares only for wealth.

Alchemy. This skill just offers so much that I like: (i) The flexibility of so many different ways of giving your character an advantage in all sorts of circumstances (crowd control poisons with slow/paralyse; poisons for extra damage; damage regen poisons to help take down mages; buffing potions so your character does greater melee/archery/spell damage, and for faster stamina/health regen; potions to buff support skills like sneak/pickpocketing/speech); (ii) the incentive to explore various locations to get all the ingredients you need to make a wide variety of potions; (iii) a great way of making money.

Sneaking is another thing I find difficult not to do, but Alchemy is definitely my sine qua non.

Do the early whiterun stuff up until Mirmulnir then I branch out to different things. I also real life it. Eat ,drink, sleep , hang out a taverns, walk instead of run, stuff like that.

I have recently begun the habit of always flipping a coin as to if I will accept (complete) a quest or not. This pertains to all quests (main, expansion, guild, etc.). It has resulted in some rather short (level 15 or so) characters, but they are all much more memorable than some of my previous characters. And I have 2, a mage and an assassin, that are truly thriving under this model. Against all odds, they have both surpassed level 30. Uncle Sheo will now promptly stike them down since I've mentioned their previous good luck.

try to ignore everything ive done with class before. i am a constant re roller. and try to disinherit knowledge i have of any circumstance. which is hard because i have anolyzed my life to direct contribution accordingly to the mark of my day as youth.

so i disuade myself into a new path. and as i have developed my progress each time i try and incorporate new tasks of diminishing my previous play style into a more concentrated affect.

i proportion my self to an ultimatization and coordinate it in a minimalist scale... i play multiple class structures so i take in abundance one aspect versus the other... rogue purist brute intellect ... warrior mage..

till my final class here and now on skyrim.. Reaver.

before skyrims release i monologued who my character would be his name turned to be Bane.. the whisper on the wind that is your devistation. the drought of your soul that collaborates withitself to provide its own nourishment.. i subsequently motivated the dark knight rises...

now i have been specifically trying to role christian bale into his absolute (of the time frame of now) distinguished role as the mechanic or american psycho could have been..

this comes with its own perplexities as in all my character developments of actually suiting him or actually playing my character.

but i believe my reaver will come to terms along the accord in clash with my real time administration of his new role.. or should i say new project to be developed...

i am dubbing it as a first title draft... stretch the bet... originally i was trying to focus it on him being a mafioso top guy .. real major leaguer on a mission to route out a top gear asset to the plot..

i had trouble determining end result and stretch result until today along side my character development i established..

stretch the bet..

not so far as lowel based the fighter.. but underleage.. top notch syndicate placement of rough edged dynamic intricacy of a gambling ring fixated 'green street hooligans' personifcation.

basically.. christian bales.. the town.

now i shall make Kraeth Eldric --- true to the faith imposer of his bounty...

....

come on... did it all my life... do it again..

make something i want to [censored] watch.

I ALWAYS end up going through Embershard Mine near Riverwood. I also end up killing those bandits and getting the first treasure map.
