Alright, time to hear about the things you do to make Skyrim more 'immersive' - those little things that really make no sense, because it's a video game, but you still do because it's also NOT a video game. I'm talking about the ones where if another person was watching you'd probably scream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br0XwlFtizA

I spent an entire night robbing every home in Whiterun, leaving behind a single salmon as my calling card. In the game world I would be the 'Sneaky Salmon'. In the real world I was ridiculed for an hour by my best friend.

Your turn, peeps.

The "sneaky salmon" I LMAO reading this. I do 2 things. I will yell at companions or anybody who does anything that ticks me off, and for some reason I really like the drunken bum in Whiterun. Whenever I am there I will look for him if I don't run into him right away and give him a coin, lol. I know, I'm an enabler, lol.

Haven't done anything YET. But the minute CK comes out I'm going to create and mod my favourite NPCs from the previous games into Skyrim. Then change the follower system a little and make them all my companions, outfit them and march through Skyrim. Pillaging, killing and having unprotected six by the campfire. Hell yes.

Just imagine. An army with people like Valen Dreth, Glarthir, Aldos Othran, Falanu Hlaalu, Caius Cosades, Jiub, Crassius Curio, Fargoth and the like. So much win.

Every time I kill an assassin, I dump their bodies in the water. Covering my ass and all that. You never know, maybe it'll take a bit longer before the Dark Brotherhood realizes their assassin is dead?
I also always lay npc's who've been killed by enemies with their backs against some rock, and their heads directed to the sky. Some lavender or another kind of flower (dragon tongue if they were killed by a dragon) on their bodies or near their heads, and a bottle of nord mead next to their hands, and they're ready to reach sovngarde. :laugh: Well, the two dead revelers each got a honningbrew mead bottle instead.
Ah, and the old orc who wanted a warrior's death? I also lay him to rest against a cosy rock with his head directed at the sky, in a place where he could see the two sabre tigers he'd killed before, put a deathbell above his head on the rock, some lavender and nord mead, and guarded his body for a whole night with a torch in my hand (that just took way too long, dammit!).
I'm also kinda starting to take pity on the dragons I have to kill every now and then. Maybe I should leave a dragon's tongue on their bodies too?

Another thing my character always has with her, is nord mead. She simply can't live without. She even let Malborn smuggle it in the Thalmor embassy during the quest! :P Oh, and bunnies, wolves and other wild animals? She believes they should be fought equally, with only your own power in other words. So she always fights them bare-handed. Sabre cats and bears are still a bit too much 'though, but running away also means you physical power is superior. ^^
Ah, and the love triangle quest in Riverwood took me a while. I followed each candidate for a whole day, to see what their everyday activities were (and their jobs), and broke in in their houses to see their worth. I ultimately concluded Camilla would have a brighter future with Faendal.

In Oblivion I played a Dark brotherhood assassin, and I left one flower of Nightshade on his/her body every time I killed someone. As a calling card. If possible, I tried to put an hourglass via pickpocketing on my targets 3 days before I'd kill them. Maybe I'll do that with my next character in Skyrim too. ^^

Ok, ok I tell you. At night, I sneak into people's houses and take their things, then I move them into barrels. It's not stealing, people just can't remember where they put their things. Hahahah oooohhh hehehe hooo. A real thigh slapper that one. phew.

I gave my wife Aela the Huntress some new armor to wear, and then tried to pickpocket her ancient Nord armor off of her so I could take my armor back and she would be naked... I got caught though. So I settled for second best and put Aela in the Forsworn Armor.

Also, there was a mage giving me trouble early on in the game... I died and had to reload my game several times. When I finally killed him, I did the "Halo hump" on his face.

There have been a few occassions I have stripped corpses naked and put them on top of each other in suggestive positions... nothing half as bad as the twisted things I did with bodies and body parts in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, though

Oh, and I reverse-pickpocketed Hroki and gave her flowers and a gold necklace

I will sometimes talk to my followers or react to a surprise. Examples:

Lydia: Let's get going then.
Me: Tally ho, [censored]!

*Draugh Overlord surprises me from behind*
Me: [censored][censored][censored][censored][censored][censored][censored][censored]


(This is easily my most swear heavy post, and I didn't even intend it that way, lol)

I also talk outloud to my follower Marcuio. I especially do this when he says something stupid. Like the other day we were inside a Dwemer ruin and he says in one non-stop sentense "ya know, I could actually enjoy searching these ruins if I wasn't an expert in ancient Dwemer ruins OH you would you look at that!" I told him to shutup as he obviously didn't know what he was talking about.

And when he complains about being an apprentis mage and not a pack mule, I tell him to shutup because I'm GIVING him a better piece of armor or weapon that MIGHT save his complaining self.

My RL husband constantly comes into my office and asks me who I am talking to. After a few weeks, he knows it's probably Marcurio. :poke:

Once, during the Diplomatic Immunity quest, I wanted to hide a body. It got stuck in the door so it looked like the guy was still alive and pounding on the door.

I (occasionally) have my female characters wear titillating outfits. Sue me, maggots.

I spend unnatural amounts of time creating my characters' faces, and 3 out of 5 of them are female.

I spend unnatural amounts of time in towns, doing nothing just wandering around talking to people.

Um, i like to position dead bodies (bodies of people whom i hated) in extremely weird and disgusting positions :biggrin:
Such as this http://i.imgur.com/cREKV.jpg

Warning: Its really quite sick and disgusting. But i really hated galmar stone fist, soooo. :smile:
Although to be fair i was trying to get him in the position of a roast pig on the table at first, his body just refused to orientate in the correct direction and somehow ended up like that.

hilarious!

To Op:

The strangest thing I probably do in the game is I have a habit of collecting the most useless junk and taking it home with me. Dwemer items mostly. I'm not a collector or a hoarder by any means in real life, but for some reason when I play TES games I feel the need to collect everything and then show it off in my Home someway.

I have a tendency to kill entire towns of people and then reload and repeat the process for hours on end. I also enjoy stripping dead bodies and dumping them into rivers... bad habits.

I honestly haven't done anything like this or anything I would be embarrassed about. But what you have done there, is hilarious. Now the ideas are rolling in my head!! :blush:

Come on, everyone has done reposition bodies into sixually suggestive positions. Don't play coy.

I once spent about fifteen minutes playing with a scantily clad dead body. I'd only just realized that you could drag corpses about, so naturally I just began tugging the poor dear this way and that and draping her over things and marveling at the fact that I could position her arms and legs individually and generally being a colossal weirdo. I still have a fascination with dead bodies in Skyrim. Probably not a healthy one.

Ever consider necromancy?
