I actually prefer BGS. Has a nicer ring to it.

@Epinephrin Take it easy. No harm was meant.

I would know but a guard hit me too hard with his blunt weapon and concussed me - now I don't even know where I am

I expected as much and I apologize for mixing the 2 up.

or just touching a red handed item ...

I suppose. Still should've used a different name than "Bethesda Softworks" for publishing, though.

But that's enough off-topicness from me.

You win 50 internets. I can't tell you how many times I've quoted that in the past few months.

Being the sad creature that I am, I have developed full backstories to several characters.

My main character (Steinar) has the most developed back story. An aging war hero, Steinar found himself oppressed by Imperial tax collectors who were bankrupting his estate. When the tax collector had his bodyguards beat Steinar's son after he had failed to pay his taxes on time, Steinar and his friends traveled to the capital of Skyrim to talk to the King about lowering the high taxes. However, Imperial guards refused to let him see the king, and after he attacked an Imperial diplomat, he was imprisoned and all of his friends mysteriously died in prison. Steinar managed to escape prison and headed back to his estate, only to find it completely destroyed with his family's heads displayed on pikes in front of the ruins. Steinar was arrested several months later and was immediately sentenced to execution for escaping prison. This sets up the anti-Imperial playthrough I have planned.

For my Imperial character, he is a knight that spent most of his time being pampered in Battlehorn Castle. Becoming proud of his talents, he gained the attention of the Order of the Dragon and soon joined their ranks. Shortly after, he received a message from the Grand Master telling him to come to Anvil to speak to him. Hoping that he would be offered to stay in Anvil, he left immediately. However, when he spoke to the Grandmaster, it was revealed that he wouldn't be staying in Anvil, but rather that he would be sent to Skyrim as part of a peace-keeping force. Disheartened, he waited until his deployment, but was relieved when a good friend of his was discovered to be part of his garrison. As the group traveled to Skyrim, however, his friend fell off his horse in the Jerall Mountains and plummeted to his death. Shocked, the knight rashly abandoned his fellow knights and fled into the wilderness. With no sense of direction and no skill in survival, he ventured further and further away from Cyrodiil and soon became injured in a riding accident. He was discovered by the Legion, who recognized him and had him thrown into prison. He was later sentenced to execution for desertion. This sets up the pro-Imperial playthrough I have planned.

For my Breton - Alphone

After leaving High Rock to head to discover lands anew, he found himself in Cyrodiil on his way to Morrowind and also in the middle of an affair with the Countess of Bruma, and fearing execution he ran to Skyrim to trek around and head back to High Rock. After being discovered by a Nord warrior after almost freezing to death, Alphone tagged along with him, providing spells of warmth and healing in exchange for protection and food. After reaching a village in Skyrim borderlands, he was caught in a affair with another lady and was sentenced to execution.

For my Nord - Esther

After reaching his 20th birthday, his father gave him a sword and basic supplies and sent him off into the world to make his mark. After exploring for a while he came into a border town where a thief stole his coin purse. Upon chasing the thief into a alleyway, and making clear threats of violence unless he returned it, Esther was forced to kill the thief (who later turned out to be a poor merchant’s son) as he attacked Esther with a small knife, and was sentenced to death for wanton slaughter, despite the pleas that he was innocent. Being the son of a hunter, Esther has learnt how to live in a forest, hunting and chopping wood and selling them at the best price.

I deserted the wall.

I saw them white walkers! :celebration:

Shor, Shezarrine's, and Shezarrine-a-like's (Nerevar) are pretty much always getting the shaft. Ties back into the MK revolutionary, misunderstood martyr theme that comes back every time.



Couldn't have said it better. :rolleyes:

Ohhh...you're the worst kind of criminal. Second only to those who make internet parodies.

I was cought with my pants down.

I was caught crossing the border with a wagon load of corpses for some Dunmer woman, Falanu Hlaalu was her name. She promised me a heap of gold and a fine horse for my troubles, maybe it was the foul stench eminating from the putrefaction and bodily fluids that somehow alerted the guards suspicions, or maybe the old hag just set me up? When I get out of this hole I'm gonna find that Dunmer woman and get some answers... and if I dont, she's going to hell.

For stealing a horse.

@ Litany Of Hate. I should of not click your sig!!!

For making fun of the current emperors [censored] size.

Hey, it could be an Empress for all we know.

For killing the son of a count. The rason for killing him was to hinder him in [censored] a young maiden.

This could change a little but....

After crossing the border into Skyrim from High Rock, my Breton mage saw something someone thought she shouldn't have seen. A civil war was going on and she was trying to get to family members to help them leave Skyrim during the turmoil. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time when she witnessed something and to protect himself, someone in a high position who was involved, turned her into the authorities and said she was a traitor to the province. The wheels of justice had effectively stopped turning so she was scheduled for execution without a fair trial.

:tes:

Let's just say that any mention of killing kids, since people have had many moderator interventions flat out stating that it isn't a topic to be discussed at all on these forums will earn a warning and posting suspension, or if the warning level is high enough, a ban.

My bounty hunter was caught in the act of attempting to assassinate a HVT who was a very high ranking military leader and sentenced to death.

I shot the Sheriiiff.....but I did not shoot the Deputy...ooh ooh ooohhh

For assassinating a noble for a sum of money, being caught, and found guilty assassinating and stealing alot in the past

Sorry for my allusion, I wasn't aware of the limitations.

I'll roleplay for my hero character that I was framed/falsely accused of murder of a noble. Considering when you murder you go to prison in the game it needs to have been someone significant.

I got caught shagging the king's wife and daughter
