I'm a wuss, so I hope I won't be imprisoned and/or executed. I'd go to Skyrim because I know my way around there, though I'd probably make a trip to Elsweyr to see the big kitties! I'd worship Mara, because she sounds the least dangerous, and I'd probably work in an inn. Seems like the safest place (I've never seen a dragon enter an inn).

I would be a honey-worded merchant living in Cyrodiil and making a fortune

I would worship Arkay and Julianos.

What about the inn in Helgen?

Good point.

Have you seen all the burned down farms way out in the middle of no where in Skyrim? Living by yourself in a place like Tamriel is probably not the best idea, considering how many bandits/monsters there are roaming the wilds. Safety in numbers and all that.

At my age, I'd be too old to learn how to wear armour and use a sword, so I'd probably just have to stay here on Earth. But on the bright side, I'm sure there would be a reality TV show made about Tamriel right after we discovered it, so I'd just sit at home and watch it on TV.

Live there, and go to Black Marsh. I'd worship all of them. If they weren't real, why do their shrines work? As for job, none of the above. I'd be an author. Or archeologist. So much history to uncover.

I've lost more merchants that way. Poor Lod for example, he died really hard on one playthrough.

I would like to visit, and I would like to visit as many provinces as possible. If I had to pick one, probably Morrowind. Or Skyrim. Or Cyrodiil. Or Elsweyr. Or Valenwood. Or...

I would worship the Triple Goddess as Mara, Kynareth and Dibella, and if I were to stay a bit longer, I would like to work in a shop or an inn.

I picked Hammerfell as an adventurer mostly due to the fact they kicked they appear to be the only country able to fend off Thalmor.

Your profile picture alone deserves my respect...

I'd keep a portal to Tamriel somewhere where only I can get to it/ learn how to open a portal between Tamriel/Earth, and spend probably an equal amount of time on both sides.

I'd go to High Rock, because it's just like home. I've got... experience in the adventuring field. That's as far as I'll say there. I'd no doubt travel across Tamriel, and would love to visit Morrowind/Solstheim.

I wouldn't worship anyone, but I'd be partial to a little thanks to Stendarr/Julianos/ Zenithar and a little nod to Nocturnal on occasion (I'll definitely get in with the Thieves Guild).

I'd make a house in High Rock and expand it, adding more houses and farms etc. until I'm powerful enough to have enough political sway as to make my territory an independent kingdom and expand until I rival Daggerfall itself.

I've got it all figured out.

I'd live in high rock and study at the mages guild, while taking jobs as a bounty hunter.

I understand we love Skyrim and all but are most of you seriously willing to freeze your ass off living there? Personally I am one who isn't really affected by the cold much but even then I rather choose a more comfortable place like Cyrodill or maybe Southern High Rock.

I utterly despises the heat so there is no way I would ever reside in Hammerfell and Elseweyr for long. Though occasionally visiting is fine. I imagine staying in Vvardenfell would be the equivalent of smoking at least 3 packs of cigarettes a day so don't know much about visiting old Vehk if he is still around.

To hell with the Divines or any gods I'm going to achieve CHIM and then Amaranth.. or who knows maybe some of us might already have.

Use my uncanny knowledge of people's motivations and the darkest secrets of various groups to amass tremendous wealth.

The coast of Hammerfell looks pretty temperate, just the interior is hellish.

I wouldn't mind living in the frozen north. Though I do think Skyrim's climate is supposed to be harsher than you get a feel for in the game. And presumably we'd get morphed into Nords in this thought experiment, so you'd have the natural cold resistance.

Ok that Skyrim is cold, but keep in mind that the game doesn't depict seasonal changes - you can rather see different seasons in different parts of Skyrim: winter in the north, autumn in the Rift. Maybe spring in Whiterun, summer in the volcanic regions of Eastmarch and Falkreath.

If Skyrim was real, there would be at least a short summer even up north - not a tropical or subtropical summer, obviously, but a subarctic summer, in the far north. The southern parts of Skyrim could probably be fairly warm during the summer, but also be snowy in the winter.

I'd road trip around all the provinces, I'd want to see all the sights

1. Hope I'm not imprisoned, and up for an execution.

2. I'm going back to Cyrodiil. Cheydinhal to be exact.

3. Not worshiping any,

4. Joining the fighters guild.

I thought this was based on the assumption that we are ourselves if Tamriel is real.

I have to agree with Celan though. Lorewise it's implied that Skyrim is a lot more colder than what we see in game and while it's true that not every part of the province is that brutally cold it's still generally uncomfortable to be in. Lets no forget how Skyrim is the most mountainous region in Tamriel and lots of cities and settlements Riften, Falkreath and Markarth are places very vulnerable to Avalanches. I just hope what this http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Tragic_Accident!_Baenlin_Dead! should we ever be in such a situation.

Providing I don't get killed crossing an invisible unpatrolled border...

I'd likely set up shop in either Whiterun or Solitude. I'd worship Dibella. I'd probably adventure some but certainly not like my characters do... after all they are a lot tougher then me.

My second choice would be to go completely savage and join the forsworn in the Reach.

Ideally I would be an adventurer and all that but realistically most of us would die within minutes out in the wild....taking on a grizzly bear with a sword is suicide, not to mention dragons, trolls, giant spiders that spit venom and all of the other fantasy creatures that litter the land.

A city guard.

In a place that's not a desert, preferably.

Another thing that most people aren't taking into consideration is the fact of how poorly most, if not all of us, would do in real life hand-to-hand combat. Most of the warriors in a society like the Nords would have been trained since they could walk to use a sword, how many of us have had the same? Plus, we (as a society) have all been taught not to kill, so we lack the instincts to really survive the kind of combat we would encounter. It would bring a whole new meaning to the whole "Dead is Dead" playstye some people here prefer.

edit - although, to be honest, I would use a bow or crossbow or a spear to kill a bear. If I really had to take one on.
