The Naked Nord Challenge.

by the DiD "respawn" does that mean we dont have to delete the riverwood save but the other save? So we can carry on but only from the riverwood save? If you see what I mean

This is just a joke, referring to Morrowind, where Nerevarine would come along and help the poor Naked Nord get his clothes back. Barebones rule is: You may recruit a companion, but you will be ranked lower than a person who achieves the same level as you without one. :)

Ah ok gotcha. :) Its been a long time since I played Morrowind and I never got far - been tempted to install it again tho.

Btw, with regards to the war axe you are allowed to wield from a certain level onwards, must it be a one-handed or a two-handed one? Or may it be either? :D

I will try this and try to get as far into the main storyline as possible. Are you allowed to use a mod to make unarmed attacks keyed off the One-Handed skill?


I would say no. You can do this for yourself, but it won't count on the rankings here, sorry. On another note, though...where is this mod you speak of? I've been wanting to make a monk class. :)

You can carry on from the Riverwood save. Save after you've gotten the quest for Whiterun, and are still on level 1.

When it comes to Morrowind, it is most relevant for it to be a one-handed WARaxe. BATTLEaxe is the name for the two-handed version. This is what I meant, though if you can get that far on master...heck. Heck yes, you can use a battleaxe.

What happens if you reach 100 restoration? You have to use restoration and another magic school only? :P

Look at the Level Bonuses. You unlock armor enforcing Alteration spells at Level 12. :)

This reminds me of my very first Morrowind character! I played a dark elf who specialized in sneak and hand to hand and wore nothing. I wanted it to be Nordish so I tried to start on Solstheim. Needless to say, it meant quite a lot of sneaking and fleeing... Oh those days... :) Too bad I can't enter her into this competition though, I boxed out wolves, hags, and spriggens on Solstheim without wearing anything and got to mid/low 20s in level before I stopped playing with her.

Yes. Be careful what you read though. You need that Restoration.

Bolvig is about to start his mishap filled jaunt into the frozen wastes, can't wait!
I have made it my mission to collect as much alcohol as I can. Maybe this could be another way to keep score? :)

Name: Nels The Naughty
Gamertag: AcidDark
Difficulty: Master
Level: 3
The Naked Death: Defeated by the necessary running away of draugr, rudely awaken from their sleep, which lead to the introduction of a sharp swinging trap to his face. The rude awaking may have been avoided but Nels decided he could take anything after punching a giant spider to death, despite the challenge of it, which lead to his demise. Bleak fall barrows proved to be too bleak for Nels to handle.


I will be trying again, but in all honesty I'm taking it slow-ish, that spider was a b*tch and a half, I used like 7 potions on him and he still kept draining my health, but after I realised the importance of waiting. Oh well, heres to Nels the Naughty II ;)

Since I completed Skyrim completely (Platinum on PS3 :happy: ) and over 200 hours of gameplay I will take your challenge and conquer it! Or at least try....

But I have a few questions:

1) How did these people share their story? I can't find their original post or did they send it via personal message?
2) Do you need prove like a video or an image?
3) To be sure I can save as much as I want, just not reload?
4) I can invest in any skill except One Handed, Two Handed or Archery or any skill related to magic?
5) I don't need clotches but can a fancy hat (not helmet) be worn?
6) I can rest and wait as much as I want?
7) I can use the environment as a weapon (like mountains)?
8) I may sing songs about heroes who undergo an adventure as naked as myself?
9) I may marry someone so I can receive my daily dinner while dancing naked on the table?
10) I just made up this question so I would have a total of 10 questions wich you don't mind?

1) They posted here. If you look hard enough you should be able to find everyone's original report.
2) I'm not requiring it currently, as I'm a trusting person...and no ones done anything TOO unbelievable. There's no way to prove you're not reloading, so we just have to have faith in their honesty.
3) That is correct, sir.
4) Strictly speaking, you may only invest in Restoration, Sneak, Speech, Pickpocket (only after Level 4), Alteration (only after Level 12), Heavy Armor (only after Level 18), and eventually 1 handed (after you "Get Your Axe Back" at Level 25". Check the rules again and make sure you understand the level bonuses. Everything else is off limits. If you accidently read a skill book or something, though, I won't disqualify you. :P
5) Sure! But NO PANTS, NO SHIRT, SIR.
6) Yup! Believe me, you'll need it.
7) Yes.
8) This is highly encouraged, actually.
9) Absolutely! You eat you some naked stew!
10) I wouldn't have...if you hadn't spelled "which" wrong. ;)
