I have hatred for the Thieves Guild, the Mages' College, the Bards' College and the Companions. They are difficult to get into in terms of role play for me. I cannot find a good association with them.
Why? The thieves act tough, but are weak on the inside and think in terms of honour rather than survival. Half the mages are arrogant and bloated for no good reason. The bards are like thin air and seem to have almost no character. And the companions would likely only begin to stand out once one can smell them, but are as shallow as the bards and give little for identification.
Any tips regarding them four are welcome...
You do realize that most people that "act tough" are weak and vunerable about something. That's Real life. Honor over survival isn't a new idea, it's rampant in history.
Those who ARE tough don't need to act that way.
I've met plenty of arogant people . Never met a fighter pilot that wasn't arrogant. I'm gonna guess that their are some, but I never met them.
I can't give you tip's on how to connect with NPC's in the game, you either connect or you don't.
