Well lets see... I'm born in July... so that means I am born in Sun's Height in TES. Meaning I would be born under the sign of the apprentice (EPIC WIN!). Assuming I wasn't struck down by disease, and Cyrodillic happened to be an exact copy of English I would make a B line for the Arcane University. From there I'd try and mooch off Raminus Polinus and find a way to the nearest Guild Hall in Cyrodiil. Then I would practice zapping mudcrabs and rats in the sewers and stuff until... blah blah blah. Yeah right. First thing I'd do is sneeze on someone and start a massive plague that wipes out Tamriel. GG

Reminds me of the Legend of Niel.

If the legion is as useless and if Cyrodiil is as dangerous as in the game, well, I'd be dead on the first day.

If I were warped to Tamriel, I'd be an Atronach since I was born on the 23rd of November (Sun's Dusk).

If I warped to Nirn, I would likely descend into quick poverty. I might be decent shakes at magic in the long run, but magickal training requires money to invest, and I'd have none of that. Direct combat would hold no allure to me whatsoever, in any way or shape or form. IRL, I avoid pain whenever possible, so potentially getting filleted on a regular basis sounds like no fun.

So that leaves thievery and stealing to make ends meet. I'd never have the dexterity and finesse for pickpocketing, meaning I'd have to be a late-night catburglar. But a life of crime doesn't usually go on for long without some form of getting caught and getting punished. I'd be in and out of jail constantly, as my late-night prowling would likely barely afford me the ability to eat and be sheltered, much less the ability to pay fines. In jail, I'd probably acquire knowledge of more dangerous ways to make illegal profit, skooma trade in particular. And so I'd try to become a drug dealer. So the only real options are: 1) get hooked on the wares I was peddling and live the life of an addict, 2) get outfought or outsmarted by well-established competition (Cammona Tong, Renrijra Krin), or 3) I'd find my own little niche and make money degrading the lives of other people.

I'd pretty much end up being an alchemist. I'd start by wandering the countryside picking plants and selling my meager wares, and then eventually settle down to a nice house somewhere with a garden. I'd then spend the rest of my days summoning daedra to fend off all the adventurers who try to steal my plants, my very livelihood, out of my backyard. I'd then write a few books on the subject and make my living that way, and eventually settle down to be a crabby old witch living alone in a hut in the forest with only my daedra to protect me.

Make sure you do it in two different voices!

Yes by all means, this is the most important part of being a begger.

Being able to sound like a 90yrs old man on the verge of death and then changing your vocal inflection to a 30 year old after achieving your beggaring is key.

And funny.

That would me, as well.
If I didn't instantly get killed by a wild creature, I would probably try and find a job to earn money. I'm guessing I would end up with a poorly-paid job involving hard labour. Nothing romantic like in the game. If only I was good at fighting. Then all I would have to do to earn a living would be to visit a fort or Ayleid ruin, and take money that is always present there. (And then come back 3 days later :biglaugh:)\

I'd try and get to Chorrol.
From there I could build a shack in the poor end of town and start from there.
Who knows, maybe I could join a guild? :shrug:

I'd probbably do handyman work, or get hired as servant at first, to build an income, at the least. Then I would use some of that money to get a decent shield. (I can swing a mace well enough on my own.) With any luck, I'll be able to eventually get into the mages guild, or the imperial battlecollege to train as a Sword(mace?)Mage or Battlemage.

I'd probably be quickly curb stomped by a bandit wearing glass armor and weapons. So no, I probably wouldn't.

If the bandits are wearing glass ,you likely leveled up enough to give them a run for their money.

Tell the Imperial Guardsmen at Roxey Inn who the Gray Fox is. Get a free horseride to Anvil, then Imperial City, bathe in ridiculous amounts of money from my reward, and become a vampire.

If I was warped to Nirn I would find a quiet place out in the countryside and study magic. Then I would use magic to return to the real world and use magic in the real world.

Well aside from the idea that you can't 'warp' to TES because it is a fictional universe,

Hey - If the multiverse IS infinite, then there's a dimension that exists out there that is the mirror image of the TES universe. Think about THAT.

If I was still human I would make my way through the woods to Chorrol, just so I would be in familiar territory. I'm very adept at surviving in nature so it wouldn't be a problem. Then make money as an apprentice armorer and get my own house. Once I have some cash I would start making my own gear that I would use in my own adventures, probably helping people who really need it and killing every vampire I find. I would be an unstoppable weapon of justice as I would dual wield two Akaviri katanas and since no one dual wields in the world they would have no idea or even have the proper training to stop me.

This is all dependent on if I know where I am and remember who I am.


But if I wasn't stuck with being just human I would opt for being a Khajiit, Cathay-raht breed to be exact. Then if I was a Cathay-raht and knew who I am and where I was I would follow closely to what I already said but more than likely search for vampires more and look for freelance work as a bodyguard or enforcer. All the strength, speed, stealth and agility of being Cathay-raht would give me a great advantage over any vampire I may find, plus I can see in the dark.

Adding on to previous posts questioning the plausibility of your native tongue being the one spoken in Nirn a few other things

Seeing as the spells in the game rely on storing up some sort of energy (My assumption radiation of some sort.) I would guess that I would die from exposure to a hostile environment I had not been born in.
Moving my matter from one plane to another would obviously attract the attention of some Daedric prince if not something worse, this could result in me being mauled to death from a myriad of things ranging from an angry Orc to a beggar bearing the fork of horripilation.

On the off chance I survived my initial step into another universe and did not die of any diseases in the next few days I would just use my basic knowledge of explosives and alloys to make and then market Thermite to the nearest den of rouges.

I'd move to Skingrad and start studieng u on destruction magic. after that, i'd master illusion magic. Them i would go to the imperial city and enchant MYSELF with 100% chamelian. This way i'd be an invisible buy who can hit you with lightning, fire, or snow when i felt like it.

So I'd do the shivering MQ, cz I'd fit in perfectly.

One word: Telvanni.

Take it easy at first, study and get strong in the arcane arts. Then I'd have a lot of fun, and not to mention a mushroom tower. I would very much like to get such an experience, but then I would want to take my girlfriend and some other friends with me. Wouldn't want to be there alone.

I'd befriend Mai'q The Liar and lear his ways.

Then go find a mate or twelve and wait nine months to see if the no children in TES is really true.

Probably keeping a few cure all diseases on me just incase there are STDs in Nirn. :P

QFT

I would do a lot of dungeon crawling in Ayleid ruins and Dwemer ruins in order to learn more about them. I would also befriend Divath Fyr and learn the secret of immortality (agewise). The man is over 4,000 years old! He's older than THE EMPIRE!

I'd publish my own newspaper like the BlackHorse Brothers do... Of course I'd charge for mine. And it would be more of an entertainment based magazine than an actual paper... I wouldn't want to cut in their customer until I level up some... Haha

Then I'd probably be a landscaper or do interior designing. A big wuss!

But once I get a house or whatever... I might organize a traveling caravan so that we could travel between cities and... You know... MAKE it there!

;)

MMO baby!
