You, as a follower.

I had this idea the other day. It's mostly stupid, but here's what it is:

 

With the Creation Kit (or tool or your choice), make a custom follower (or NPC) of yourself. No mary sue versions of yourself. Just make you. One or two shouts, if you really want to. Make yourself as you see yourself, or be accurate; make it an ego booster if you want.

 

I think it'd be a pretty hysterical and kind of awesome. It'd be a way to add a bunch more people to the world.

 

(That, and you can joke that you are, indeed, playing with yourself.)

 

I'm still getting the hang of creating custom NPCs and whatnot, but when I get the hang of it, I'll post myself.

 

Edit: Whoop, meant to post thishere. If a mod bumps into this, could you move it there?

It would have to be a super version. How many people do you know who can:

 

1) Swim in armor.

2) Run in armor.

3) Take a sword blow and not die.

4) Carry more than 100 pounds in gear. I have humped 140 before and I was a pretty tough Marine. My Skyrim character is female and can carry 500 pounds of crap.

 

etc.

Of course, I mean within reason. I don't expect anyone to fight a dragon and live to tell about it, get lit on fire and not have third and fourth degree burns, or even wear armor at all (because armor is heavy). Of course no one's going to check if you really are like the character, and hell, if someone wants to make an argonian or khajit based on them, that's pretty cool, I guess.

 

What I mean by "no mary sue" is that, well, don't make yourself perfect. Nothing too crazy, like all three words of five shouts, 100% resistance to shock or ice, being masterful of all kinds of magic, etc. Somewhat realistic for a fantasy game (a bit of a paradox).

 

Things that are pretty reasonable, like if you can take the cold and wear shorts in the dead of the winter, in 30 degrees, maybe some resistance to frost.
