Rhydderch Hael Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 The latest incarnation of Cassie-the-Assassin was waiting and waiting for the perfect blood-ticket that would get her an invitation into the Sithis Fan Club. Would she immasculate Jorundr in retaliation to his jailhouse soiree, or perhaps paint a chapel's walls with the blood of a Primate? How about the challenge of infiltrating Castle Bravil and laying out the Count's son? In the end, she chose none of the above. Why? Role-playing. She wasn't even planning on cashing in the bloodied ticket at the time, but she advanced far enough in the Main Quest to come upon Gwinas, the Wood Elf who bought the Commentaries Vol. 3 from the Imperial City bookstore. She thought it through: she is a Blade— a secret agent for the Empire. There's no way she's going to tip her hand to the Mythic Dawn by revealing her identity or intentions to a guy who wanted to join the cult. No matter that the guy would have been horrified had he learned the truth about the Mythic Dawn— Cassie isn't supposed to know that (actually, being named 'Casandra', that is precisely what she was supposed to know, but I digress). All she knows is this guy wants in on the cult, and there's nothing that would stop the fellow from tipping off the Mythic Dawn about her intentions to seek out their shrine. Well, there is one thing that'll stop him, and it did: a poisoned enchanted dagger buried in the back as he lay sleeping in his room. So, Cassie gave up the pleasure of finding a real satisfying blood-ticket to the DB, all on the grace that, storywise as a role-playing character, it'd make sense (in her half-insane sort of way) for her to waste this particular sucka.

Guest Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I play OB some time now, and I like roleplaying. I'm somekind of a knight. A powerguide. To do so I accepted the knight of the white stalion quest. So i began "living the life" of a defender and knight(raids on oblivion gates, on mines with monsters). I made my characters main quest in "life" is to eradicate the evil outh of cyrodiil(wath i think is naive, but my character is an idealist.) Once I charged into a gate with only my sword. I eluded death. I left the gate WITH ONLY 2 HP!!! Man I have luck o_O . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhydderch Hael Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 When Cassie nabbed the Xarxes from the Dagon Shrine, she forsook her enchanted Blades armor and risked brown bears and ogres on her path from Arrius to Bruma wearing nothing but the Mythic Dawn Robe and Hood. Mind you, she didn't actually infiltrate the cult (I wanted the best chance to save the prisoner, so for the first time ever I had Cassie wade in with all guns blazing)— but Cassie simply wanted to show up at Cloud Ruler Temple so-adorned and mess with everybody's heads. The actions observed onscreen by any third-party viewer wouldn't have seen much, but in my mind's eye the sentries on the ramparts shouted a warning to the garrison, and a dozen alert eyes turned south at this sinster figure running up the trail. Imagine the looks of surprise, then relief as the hood gave way to reveal Cassie's face to the other Blades, then the wry look on Jauffre's face as he walked up to our darling little trickster in her bloodied red robe. Don't let the limitations of the game engine keep you from exploring the deeper nuances of the story— use your own imagination. You complete the story— not through digesting the elements that are actually there, but by filling in the blanks yourself. That is role-playing.

ivxx Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I walk.....I walk....every...where...i go.I reeeally try to refrain from getting in a hurry. When i first got the game it was "beat the game, beat the game", so i did and i found myself left with something to desire.sooo i started making oddball characters and depending HEAVILY on mods. especially companion/share mods. i would go to the tavern at dusk and "Actors In Charge" drink heavily and listen to gossip till around 11 or 12 PM. Then i would forward walk as a fire atronach all the way to my pad cause that was the closest drunken walk animation i could find. My companions did likewise. I RP'd a traveling prostitute with that mod and the portable campsite as well....call me sick i made a ton of money :P.I profile goals in the game. Any newb mage char. would NATURALLY be IN the arcane university before say.....finding a strange door on an island in Niben Bay. I use mods and console to make it real for me.Like the force mod where you can pick up some bodies. Pick up a goblin body and use it to block arrows as you advance on your enemy. Make a ranger and the only way you make money is hides and alchemy, fun fun. Really though its true, if you really try to roleplay, certain things will definitely let you down (I tried an Martial Artist, but hand to hand animations make me cry). Dont cheat! Never Cheat. But renaming your horse,"taking care of" a corpse or w/e,is within the RP bounds. Honestly, if you make a Samurai....do you think he leaves that prison dungeon without a mastery in blades?....how the he!! did he get to be a samurai otherwise? phh. makes sense to me/end ranting n raving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guards caught you trying to dig your way out of the prison cell, whapped you on the head really hard and dragged your unconscious butt into another section of the prison. You wake up remembering your name, birthday and vocation, but cannot quite seem to recall exactly how well you did your old job. Worst of all, some Dark Elf schmuck in the cell across the way is telling you how you're going to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginji Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Worst of all, some Dark Elf schmuck in the cell across the way is telling you how you're going to die.At least he gets what is coming to him (won't say more or SPOILERS) I usally roleplay theves/assassins. so insted of just picking a random house and breaking in that instant, I watch it for a couple of days wait till I know that they're out/in before breaking in and stealing everything/killing everyone.

I can successfully sneak my way past anything...as long as I have my custom-made chameleon spell :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
