Transfer your OB Character to Skyrim : V - Skyrim

» Thu Jun 30, 2011 7:30 am

My character is always the same in any game I play(as much as possible based on character creation) most of the time anyway but I guess your saying with the back-story etc and I have no interest in that.

REMINDER NOT EVERYONE GONNA HAVE SKYRIM RUNNING ON PC INSTEAD SOME PEOPLE WILL USE CONSOLES

:flamethrower: :flamethrower: :flamethrower:

Yes, and they have our sympathies.

But seriously, Skyrim uses a completely different system for character appearance and statistics. There's nothing to import at all. Just make your new guy have the same name and try to make him look similar in the new chargen.

Its even harder to transfer between 2 games that don't even use the same engines. The data isn't the same so there is nothing that can be transferred. So no matter how much you want this, it wont happen. It can't happen, period.

Yes...this. :cookie:

Well it's not a terribad suggestion. But the only reason why it works for Mass Effect is because the choices you make in the previous game CAN effect the story line of the next game. With TES, Beth isn't expecting everyone to come up with a reason their character has survived 200 years between the two games. They also aren't importing your personal moral decisions you've made in Oblivion, that might effect the outcome of Skyrim's storyline.

So basically, there are some options:

If you want to have your character from Oblivion be in Skyrim, take a picture of that character and try to make the Skyrim character as close as possible to the Oblivion one.

If you don't want to, because role-playing wise, your Oblivion character will be long dead, then just make a new character and forget your Oblivion character.

Plus mass effect used the same character creator, so it could actually transfer over.

It's hard to remake without looking at your older character....

Not really, just play oblivion again, take a picture on ur computer or phone and go into skyrim and look at the image preferably on your phone or camera

The CoC became Sheogorath, Deadric Princes don't give enough of a damn about dragons. Besides the CoC is not a dragonborn.

That's what you may think. But if you really think about it, your character never actually did become Sheograth. It is the realm of madness after all. Your character THINKS he/she did...but he/she actually didn't. Your character has fallen into madness. Sheograth got you fooled again. :ahhh:

Try telling that to the lore forum, they will adore you for that. Immortality is how they got rid of the last 2 heroes.

Skyrim uses a completely different facegen system than Oblivion/Fallout. You might as well try to import your Morrowind character.

EDIT: @the last few posts- Oh good, this again.

Or your Arena character. What interesting things would happen there!

Sheogorath is himself mad. The Champion became Sheogorath, not the other way around. His/her personality will be utterly crushed by the characteristics of the Madhouse/Asylums/Shivering Isles and will be the Sheogorath we know and love in Skyrim. Daedric Princes do not rule their spheres, they ARE their spheres. Jyggalag now roams the waters of Oblivion, a pitifully underpowered plane unto himself, but free of the madness that consumed and twisted him into the thing he hated most. The Champion got left shouldering the curse himself, a truly horrifying fate. I suppose it's better than being crushed by a giant robot or eaten by snake people, though.

no i'd rather just get skill points for having a save file from the previous game.

It was all a dream. You character needs to wake up.

Lol, no comment.

instead of importing, you can always make a new character that is the same race and try to make the face similar in the character generator.

you can come up with your own RP reason for how he survived so many years.

Yah this, you want the same character, make your char look similar, give him the same name and make up some reason as to how he survived those 200 years.
