What personal rules do you play?

I'm just thinking.. how people seriously try to create a negative and positive character "personality" by mental side --> this is just a game :smile: if you save the world and then kill everyone no one is going to blame you for this , and this is not meaning that you're bad person in life, this is just a game so you can try everything :smile: "Oh nooo i'm going to pickpocket lydias sWeetRooll.. i'm a good person"

It's a roleplaying thing. Of course we can do whatever we want in our own game, but most of us seem to want to create a character we can believe and immerse ourselves in. That means you have to look at your character's actions and ask yourself what kind of person that is. If your character commits good an evil acts indiscriminately, you are not really playing a person.

 

I mean, it works both ways. I recently did Clavicus Vile's daedric quest, and had to choose between the axe and the helmet. This isn't the spoiler section so I won't go into detail but if you've done this quest you know what I'm talking about.

 

Thing is, I kinda wanted the axe, and I wouldn't have felt bad about picking the axe. Not even a little. But at the last moment, I stopped and wondered if this is what my character would actually do. And, really, she wouldn't. So after several moments of hesitation, I traded Vile the axe for the mask instead.

 

Then Vile accused my character of being a boring goodie-two-shoes, which is totally true. But that's just how I roll.

no i'm not saying that i don't like realistic stuff in game , i do love it , i even wondered some one would create a mod about... Restroom.. ahahahah :biggrin:

You know, I was thinking about that. Lots of people around here seem to insist on their characters eating on a constant basis, but I see nothing about the other basic human need that eating inevitably results in.

 

I guess we all draw the line somewhere, eh?

I like to immerse myself on my character actions. For example I find imperials soldiers escorting a stormcloak prisoner. Let's have some fun with him! I open a trade with him and I give him an ancient two handed sword.

Me: "Hey I will give you a chance. Take this sword and show me what you can do."

Dumbass nord: "I will not disappoint you! Yaaargh" *attempts to attack imperials soldiers, but dies with one hit*.

Me: "Poor fools. The Empire will destroy you." *Recovers sword from body*.

First rule: Perfection:

 

Why rising some few skill when you can get every skill level 100?

 

Second rule: Role Play:

 

My character right now doesn't want to have is soul trapped into oblivion after dying so i'll do everything to avoid that.

[MrStoob]

Different for each character.

 

Feral - hates Empire, killed Thalmore/imperials on sight. Other than that, live and let live.

 

Luxuria - self-inflicted vampire, pro-empire for reasons of decadence. Killing/feeding sprees, little regard for fellow man.

 

etc.

 

:)

Pick up arrows from every single Stormcloak during the Civil War. Ends up totaling around 1500 which lasts you a loooong time.

 

I also kill every Thalmor I find although that's probably pretty common.

[RatcatcherOfKvatch]

Hah hah hah, the last time I encountered Thalmor I spent the first 5 seconds acting like I was really kicking butt and the last 4 minutes running like a frightened child. It's a good thing the Thalmor goose-step doesn't permit mountain-climbing. I barely made it over the cliffs and into the safety of the Whiterun drawbridge guard towers.

 

Background: Yes, "Permadeath" sealed the fate of Liane, my Level 18 Mammoth Poacher. Why did she allow herself to be hit by that giant? Contemplate that from the stratosphere ... I'd give her a tombstone in the graveyard but that thread is even more dead than its inhabitants.

 

Before her was Mondieu, Level 28 and seemingly unstoppable with DR and MR both maxxed, who discovered in the green haze of his last 2 seconds of life how vulnerable he was to poison. For a Breton Master Alchemist to fall to a Forsworn Briarheart's poisoned blade was, perhaps, proof of the old adage, "Familiarity breeds contempt." At least he wasn't killed by the Thalmor.

 

I like the way female characters sound when they do Shouts, plus the Greybeards are all dudes, so they need some shaking up ... so reincarnated as the Dragonborn Evangeline rises to the challenge. But before she saves the world from Alduin she'll have to remember the Thalmor are not to be trifled with at Level 4 absent Paralysis poison or some other game-changer of the Level 4 kind. (Random encounter on the way back from Halted Streams Camp ... it did not go well. Still any fight you walk away from went well enough ...)

I'm going to try permadeath for my next playthrough otherwise my main dovahkiin character, now happily married with a lovely wife and three beautiful children all currently holidaying in Solstheim would not have made it to level 5 - my first Skyrim death was by mudcrab coming down from Bleak Falls Barrow towards Whiterun for the very first time. :D

[FutureVisions]

Lol dude, I like your post, you seem like a nice person. Maybe too nice for current times. xD

In regards to your post, what I think i identify with the most is the fact that I cannot let companions die. Ever! Unless perhaps if it's part of a quest, and even then I think I would have a really hard time doing it. I believe there was a quest like that and I couldn't do it. My ebony blade will also never see it's full potential because of that xD

I don't usually hunt, but often kill predators hunting prey xD.

I don't kill inocent people. Except in some rare conditions. And then also feel bad about it.

Don't give a damn about traders though. I usually milk them for whatever they have and always try to leave with more money than what I started the bargain with xD In fact I often milk all the traders in the same area at once. And sometimes have to travel before completing the milking.

Rarely fast travel.

Must.... complete.... all... the.... quests.....!!!! My main char is a warrior-mage-thief-werewolf-assassin. I'm the dragonborn and if some dude in Markarth asks me to deliver a note in Windhelm I....must....do.... it! I do try to start off with the char theme missions first though.
