» Wed Mar 02, 2016 3:47 am I know I could just choose anyone I want and go with it, but that hasn't been working for me.
I was wondering if anyone could indulge me by telling me, based on some of my traits, what race in Tamriel I would seem to fit the most.
You see, my Elder Scrolls Lore is lacking, really badly. I will take the time to catch up but it's going to be a while.
So I'll ask myself some questions that will give you a better idea of how I like to play, and who I am. Hopefully this will lead you to think what race I seem to "belong" to the most, in terms of personality and playstyle.
Q: What age group can you class myself with?
A: Young advlt.
Q: What do I look like?
A: Big and tall.
Q: Would I consider myself more of a stronger or a faster person?
A: Stronger.
Q: Am I more agile, or resilient?
A: Resilient.
Q: What is my intelligence level?
A: According to a test, slightly above average intelligence. Not genius, nor gifted.
Q: What do I fight for?
A: Justice, peace, fortune.
Q: Would I ever get married? Kids?
A: Right now, no plans to get married or have kids. I may consider getting married later. Still no plans for children.
Q: Preferred weapon of choice?
A: Sword & shield.
Q: What kind of armor would I wear?
A: While I prefer heavy armor while I'm playing, I could never wear it in real life. I'd have to go with cloth or light armor.
Q: Would I prefer more of a peaceful journey or an adversarial one?
A: Generally peaceful, but not to the point where it gets boring.
Q: Would I rather take my time or rush to get things done?
A: For the most part, I'm patient and I take my time. That's not always the case.
Q: How do I approach conflict?
A: I usually charge straight in and slash or blast my way to victory.
Q: Could I ever kill someone in real life?
A: No. Not even in self-defense.
Q: How about in the game?
A: They signed up for the game. They knew what they were getting themselves into.
Q: Would I ever break the law?
A: Only if I absolutely had to, but in most cases, no.
Q: If someone stopped fighting and begged me for mercy, what would I do?
A: I'd stop fighting. If they engaged again, I'd kill them (in the game).
Q: What is my most favorite to least favorite skill trees?
A: Magic, Combat, Stealth.
Q: (In Skyrim), which skills would I be able to perform (more-or-less) without training right from the beginning?
A: Combat - Block, One-Handed, Archery. Stealth - Light Armor, Sneak. Magic - None.
Q: (In Skyrim), which faction would you be most eager to join?
A: College of Winterhold.
Q: Do you prefer things simple or sophisticated?
A: Most of the time, I think I'd prefer to keep things simple. Having the option of switching to complicated and back at any time would be good.
Q: Which gender do you prefer to play?
A: Male.
Q: Which race have you played with most in the past?
A: Breton. I wanted a human with magic capabilities.
Q: Which class have you played with most in the past?
A: Primarily a Mage. I also carried a sword around, so I can't say I was a pure Mage.
Q: Have there been any changes in your preferences lately?
A: Actually, yes. I've been leaning more towards warriors lately. Maybe with some form of restorative capabilities, to cut down on down-time.
Q: (In Skyrim), where would you most likely be found?
A: My favorite hang-out spots are the taverns. I don't go in and drink (even though I used to drink a lot in RL), I just go in and eat, listen to music, etc.
Q: Would you ever consider becoming a werewolf or a vampire?
A: No.
Q: Stormcloak Rebellion or Imperial Legion?
A: I never really was into war and politics. I'd stay out of it. If I HAD to join, It would be the Imperial Legion.
Q: If someone were to try and find my house, where would it be?
A: In a city. Not too small, not too big.
Q: Do you work alone, or do you travel with company?
A: When playing, I solo. If I was really expected to take on a dungeon filled with bandits, I would definitely bring someone.
Q: (In Skyrim), what occupation would you be doing?
A: Right now? Chopping wood. =) If I had training, maybe a Blacksmith. I'm also talented with music, so Bard isn't a Longshot away.
Q: (In Skyrim), what would be your dream job?
A: I'd love to teach at the College of Winterhold.
Q: What school of magic would you teach?
A: Restoration. There's no point in fighting if you're dead.
Well, that's all I can come up with. Thanks for taking the time to go through this. I'm really looking forward to hearing from you.
Writing this actually allowed me to gain some insight on my ideal character. From what I've gathered, it seems like my mystery character is a warrior that shows a high volume of interest in magic.
I've allowed multiple choice in case you may think I am best suited for more than one race. There are no right or wrong answers.
If I missed anything, or if you have more questions that you need to make a more precise answer, please let me know and I'll do what I can to fix it. Take care everyone.
