So imagine you are in Skyrim, but you are not the dragonborn. There is another dragonborn but you are not the special person.

Would you want to be involved in the events going on? Help the dragonborn fight Alduin? Or would you oppose him/her and be an enemy? Or maybe just carry on living your life wanting nothing to do with whats going on.

I would want to be Odahving, because i would be a badass dragon doing whatever i want, then i can fight the dragonborn and become a powerful ally of his.

But Parthurnaax is cool too but he just seems too old and just sits on his mountain all day. If not a dragon i would probably be teh guildmaster for College of Winterhld, being the Archmage cuz thats cool or else the Dovahkiin's companian.

VOTE! :thumbsup:

EDIT i would also possible choose to be a court official as the court mage, because then i would be in a position of power where i could influence a Jarl, but i wouldnt have people bugging me all day asking for stuff.

I'd be a skill trainer. Just so my life expectancy is a bit longer if the dragonborn gets bored.

I would be Aranea Ienith.

Lol.

I'd be Odahviing fo sure.

Are you sure thats how you spell it? I agree he is cool. When i have to run somewhere i usually just call him to fly around me while i run, then help me take out a bandit camp or something i come across

Someone who ISN'T a chosen one.

The only chosen ones in the game are Dovahkiin and Alduin i believe.

Dovahkiin's sidekick. A warrior...Argonian. :hehe:

Jarl, hands down. You get to be essential and gangsta' lean in a sweet ass chair all day? Sold.

I would be an Argonian assassin-for-hire.

Just a traveler/explorer/adventurer I guess. Having a particular job would be boring, and I'd also rather not have the fate of the world rely on my character and so on. Being of special importance kind of detracts from the freedom of TES games a bit for me, why I liked in Morrowind how you didn't find out you were Nerevarine very early, and one of your first missions is one of no urgency - gear up, get experience, come back later. This gives you a lot more of a comfortable license to ignore the main quest than Oblivion or Skyrim have.

Parthuurnax hands down.

Wait until the Dovakhin dies of old age, and then roast some mofos..

Or, y'know you could just be a smart Dragon and always avoid him; I never understood why dragons still attack me; I'm clearly the one person born to defeat them, and I'm wearing armour made out of their comrades' skin. You'd think they'd go 'y'know what, I'll go roast someone else'.

I agree i usually dont like being the main guy of special importance either, then i feel obligated to play instead of for fun :nope:

I didnt think oblivion was too bad because you were kinda the 2nd main guy. Only Martin could light the dragonfires and you just had to help him but it was ultimately up to him to save teh world

a fox as I never kill them

The thing I like about Skyrim in terms of the main quest is that while you're incredibly important, you're not obviously important. You could conceivably just disappear off the radar after stopping Alduin and nobody would really know who you are. In Oblivion you were hailed as the hero so you couldn't plausibly become an assassin or thief afterwards.

EDIT: that being said, I do rock armour made out of dragons, so I'd have to take that off for my anonymity to be plausible after the MQ.

I always kill fox's. I use lightning spells and they are good target practice. You better hope im not the Dragonborn in your secondary character game. :toughninja:

I'd become a companion like Lydia so I could always BLOCK the way of my master and keeps saying "I am swornnn to carry YOUR burdens"
and not gonna equip whatever my master's giving unless it's more powerful, etc, etc ,etc..

Yes... sweet sweet revenge.. yes..

PS. I'd also like to be the chicken.. cuz no one would dare kill me.. hehehe

I would definitely want to be one of "The Companions." They're respected. They kick a$$. I wouldn't want too much responsibility though so I think I would just be someone low on the totem pole like Ria.

I picked Daedric Prince because they are truly immortal. They can not be killed or destroyed; only banished from Mundus back to Oblivion. It's one of the things that makes them interesting to me.

See, the Gods (Aedra) CAN die. They are NOT immortal beings. The Aedra believe in permanency or stasis. They don't want time to pass because that would shorten their lives.

The Daedra ARE immortal. They can never die, even in violence. They strongly support change, or chaos. I find that those Daedra who are malevolent, do not value mortal life as a mortal does because they've never known mortality. They simply can not identify with it. And yet... They don't destroy every living thing, even though many claim to have the power to do so. Why? Because mortals represent both permanency and change.

As the aeons go by, mortal nature doesn't change. But the cultures, the mortals themselves, do change. Constantly. I think that the Daedra are both fascinated by and jealous of the mortals, and, knowing the story of their creation, I can't help but feel pity for them.

A guard, as long as I am not stationed at a to boring place Other than that, a warrior mercenary maybe or warrior companion.

i never thought skill trainer would be in first with 4 votes :blink:

lets see who gets to 10 first

I'd be a Dragon for sure. First order of business GTFO of Skyrim. Go roast some thalmor in valenwood. Turn those forests into kindling. Bwhahahahahahaa

Being a guild master or jarl would be boring. I prefer less important roles. A mere assassin or even a blacksmith, or perhaps an honorable knight?

Daedric Prince, for sure. Immortality, godlike power, my own realm of Oblivion - what's not to love?
