If skyrim is reality, what would you be doing? : V

Just a fun thread, and out of curiosity, if skyrim is our reality, what would you be doing?

A typical villager/shopkeeper/guard of the city/alchemist in a town? Or someone more important like the jarl/leader of a guild/archmage in Winterhold, etc. Or a lone adventurer/hunter/warrior/mage, etc.?

Complain about small things in game. Jk.

I'd be walking around town with my wife, Lydia <3.

i'd be looking for the nearest internet cafe so i could get on-line and check the forums....

I would be doing what my little Bosmer is doing in game.

I have joined the College in Winterhold, and am working for the man. Between times I am walking the road between towns and trying to stay out of the cold as much as possible. I am hoping to be able to get a house in one of the smaller towns and then hunt for a living. there are no dragons in my world yet, apart from the Helgen incident. I think just being away from people is the greatest thing, and the wilderness is where I will spend my time, getting to know the backways and secrets of this beautiful land.

I would be using knee pads.

Searching for a friendly dragon so I can befriend him and ride him into the sunset

Hiding in a corner, obviously.

I would never leave the house.

I'd try to get a job as a guard in some city. If I can't get the job right away I'd try adventuring until an arrow hits my knee.

I'd call the airforce, I think.

Guard in Whiterun:p

Go to Morrowind and try to absorb the Hearth of Lorkan.

I'd try to settle down someplace relatively peaceful. Perhaps become a farmer or a lumberjack... mostly because I don't think that fighting undead and dragons on a regular basis would suit me, IRL.

Being an adventurer until I take an arrow in the knee.

Running like hell from an array of nasty monsters most likely.

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 6:53 pm

i'd be seeing if that armour that lydia wears does actually come off.

Reforming the Blades and killing dragons.

Just a fun thread, and out of curiosity, if skyrim is our reality, what would you be doing?

Would you still be someone important/essential, such as the only dragonborn, the only one who could crush Alduin; or the Greybeards, teaching the knowledge of way of the voice; or a Jarl of a city; or would you want to be someone a little less well-known like a typical alchemist / smithy / hunter / guard of a city / sneaky thief or assassin, etc. etc.

I just want to be a cook in a nice, safe city. Maybe in Whiterun or Solitude. A pastry chef, more specifically, so the next time some guard chides at me with his, "Let me guess... somebody stole your sweet rolls," I can be like, "[Beach], I got your sweet rolls right here."

LOL great answer.

Enter a cave/dungeon, mess with whatever is in there, and run back out side to see if it follows me. This only happened once in game and the towns folk killed it (skeleton).

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 4:00 pm

I would be a Breton male (and hopefully become a werewolf), and would join Dark Brotherhood (no need to become a Listener unless current one is incapable).
And yes, I would actually kill people for money.
As my cover job (since some people might wonder where do I get all the gold from), I would work as a cook in Riften (where I would officially live).

That's about Skyrim.
In case I actually lived on Nirn (with no limitations to Skyrim), it would be same as everything above, only I would live in Split on Shivering Isle.

I'd definitely be a hunter and live in one of the smaller towns, near Whiterun, probably. I'd grow my own vegetables and go to market and sell my hides, and then spend whatever gold I could make on wooing a hot tavern wench =). I'd probably also be making leather armor from the hides I gather, but only in the winter time when it's hard to hunt.

I'd stay out of the civil war and mind my own business, unless I got dragged into it, in which case I'd be an archer.

I would be a kinsman staying out of trouble, because I don't think there would be any reload.

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 2:26 pm

I'd try to take my shirt off without taking my pants off
