What would you do if you lived in Tamriel?

Post » Sun May 29, 2011 12:42 am

Well, I would probably end up as a Restoration user + Long Blade wielder.
Living the life of a healer and teacher.. somebody has to take care of young adventurers, right?
So visit me, relax and find yourself getting a hopefully better grip at whatsoever :D

trust me... we wuld all die in this world of elder scrolls... it mayb ehave been posssible in real history to adventure and survive but u only had to worry about people adn real weapons. now u throw in magic and ogres and trolls. dragons, living dead. ur chances go from 10 percent to 0 real fast.


Velorien already mentioned that this thread is acting that as if you was born and raised on Nirn. If we would all die that quick as your claim, then so essentially a major percentage of the population of Tamriel would be wiped out. The chances of survival are higher than you expect, in game the reason we die is because the game is designed to be a challenge for us. Ignore the fact that the Elder Scrolls is a game and that Nirn, and the universe of the Elder Scrolls is real, and Earth is in fact a piece of fiction written by some author who lives in High Rock. To us, Earth would appear to be far more dangerous than our own world.

I know I've already posted in this thread with a answer. But If was born in Tamriel, I'd definitely become a scholar with some gruff adventuring in him. The lore of the Elder Scrolls is something I sink my teeth into, and of course as I mentioned in my previous post. Marry a Dunmer woman. :hubbahubba:

I'll be a Dark Brotherhood Khajiit Assassin :D
Travelling in Cyrodiil but living in Skingrad! :D

Wait a moment... That sounds familiar! :D

Haha nooo I'll probably be a Wood Elf Bard living the good life in Skyrim, travelling around the country, sometimes visiting Cyrodiil and having a deep hatred for Orcs and Dunmers because of childhood memories which inspired him to be a bard, some of his poems are about his childhood and about the filthy Orcs and Dunmers.

My family came all the way from Valenwood because they were exiled (my dumb brother decided to start a fire =_=).

Anyhow, my dream is to be known in the whole of Tamriel as he who killed the dragon, that would make great poetry! :D Very unrealistic though... Dragons? in Skyrim? NAHHHH :P

That's probably be me in the new game :P

Adding onto what Macharius mentioned, its heavily implied in Morrowind that the occupation of a freelance adventurer is a very common trade in Nirn and that you aren't the only one going around looting tombs, fighting bandits, and stuff like that. Sure, your character is dragged into a prophesy divined by the elder scrolls themselves, but the average joe with a good athletic ability, above modest physical prowess, or alternatively a good knowledge in the arcane could take up small time jobs to get by. Usually adventurers wouldn't run around solo, as we have learned in D&D that if your going to go out adventuring, you better stick to a trustworthy party. So when you have a guy on your right who is a skilled archer, a guy on your left who could toast a troll with a strong fireball spell, and the dude behind you is a healer, and the guy in front of you is a hardened orc with a big ass axe, your chances of surviving ogres, trolls, and living dead go up a lot higher than if you were to blindly blunder your way around a dungeon alone. Tamreil somewhat relies on adventurers. And adventurers go into their trades by first making damn well sure they have the skills and knowledge to do so. They know their equipment inside and out, they know their tools, they know their weapons or magic crafts, and they know their history and lore so they aren't caught off guard by what they might encounter in that Aylied or Dwemer ruin... At least I hope they would.

I'd probably be a Breton mage. I'd be from Daggerfall originally, but bounce around from Skryim, Morrowind, Cyrodiil and the Summerset Isles to increase my knowledge of magic and lore. Seeing as how the lore of the Elder Scrolls is so interesting to me, I'd probably be a scholarly type, and maybe end up living in Summerset or Cyrodiil pursuing Chim.

I would live amongst the Cliff Racers, and train them to harass innocent civilians and random passerbys for money or, hopefully, sweet merciful death.

The lands would come to respect my rich coffers and castle made of Cliff Racer bones, and many would seek my patronage on various projects of worldly designs.

That, or I would be a roaming knight; probably with a rusty iron shortsword, because I need the handicap.

I would be a wandering traveller, and perhaps a scholar, artist, or writer. I would go to different places and observe the different culture and explore the world of magic and see sights. And I would know how to defend myself basically, but would not be a great warrior or anything. When I'm not travelling, I'll just hang out with my Tamrielic friends. I'd most likely earn money by writing fiction.

I'd be a bard, or a traveling warrior-poet. A scholar with a sword, and a soul seeking the all the sights under the starry skies.

I'd use my unholy knowledge of exploits to usurp the Imperial throne.
'Why can't we land a single blow on him!?'
'They're called sanctuary enchantments, biatch!'

In all seriousness though, I'd probably be so amazed by magic, that after looting some dungeons and earning some cash as an adventurer, I'd buy a nice little tower and study it intently.

If I was stupid and adventurous, convince the Grand Champion of the Arena to dress up as me, then kill all opponents, then I would tell him he was a vampire. (Or part)
