Hello, I don't think I've ever posted here, in the newbie section, despite the fact I've been aware of the site since I first purchased Eldar Scrolls Skyrim. I've visited the site frequently, read stuff that was posted in the forums, might have even made a couple posts, or replied to a few of them. I've gotten some good laughs out of some of them, and read some that somehow left me feeling less intelligent with the reading, no offense intended here, I realize the contributors run the gamut in here, in age, and education. I've downloaded and installed mods from off the site, ones I've liked the descriptions of, or seen previews of in the videos, or ones that have a lot of good pictures along with the information, so I knew ahead of time what I was getting. I've seen stuff I've marveled at, and stuff I think is just old hash in a bright new package, kinda redundant like reinventing the wheel. I feel like I've gotten to know some of you, either through your good works, or just through your personalities, by what, when, and how you respond to others, who have questions, or queries, and let me tell you, there are a few of you who don't play well with others. To each his or her own I suppose. I guess my point is, that I don't really feel like a newbie after all this well spent time, and don't particularly cotton to being called one either. I've probably been gaming since before most of you were born, since back before there were computers, and X-boxes. We had a table top, a hand full of dice, a written up character, and a whole lot of imagination, three channels on the TV set and you had to get up to go change those, and you spent most of your time outside playing anyway. kids today have got it made. I drive a semi truck for a living, and with the exception of my wife, and a very few close relations, I don't hang out much with people at all, they're irritating, especially when they're being silly, and I don't have much patience for silly people, rarely have the time to hangout anyway, except at truck stops. I reckon that makes me somewhat of a loner, which is how I do my gaming these days, alone. Also, that's a big reason why I like this game, with the exception of a few NPC's, that I'm telling what to do, so they don't get some fool notion to do something silly and what not, that get's them killed, I don't have to worry about being dragged off, on some fools errand of theirs, that might get my observant, quiet, stealthy, intelligent, intuitive, experienced, professional, older, warrior character shot in the knee by a stray arrow, and forced into early retirement!
