How's this for a Bosmer?

Post » Sat Jun 09, 2012 6:50 am

Throw away all preconceived notions of how a fantasy elf should be, and create the nastiest Bosmer you can think of. He hates anyone or anything that isn't mer and won't hesitate to kill them if he thinks he can get away with it. He is fiercely protective of nature, and respects the Green Pact even outside Valenwood. That means he may not use plants or mushrooms for his alchemy, instead relying on animal parts to make his potions and poisons. Do the quest to
Spoiler
become a cannibal ASAP.

Make him savage looking, buff, heavily scarred, with warpaint and a mohawk.

You'll have a wood elf you can be proud of playing :P.

I made this character, but as a female. I wasn't as hardcoe on the Greenpact, but ate only meat and did the spoiler you posted. In fact, many of the Daedric quests were possible with this badassery.

She had scars, warpaint, and a completely shaved head. Joined the DB and would basically kill anyone if asked by anyone. If threatened, she'd not even hesitate to knife them.

Just a sciencey note. Mushrooms are not plants. Chemically, the material they are composed of is more closely the chitin on insects than to plant life. You can totally use fungus and not be breaking the greenpact. My bosmers in Obliv would eat them in lieu of plant food.

Sounds good to me. I have a Bosmer girl that I wish I had made more hardcoe instead of pretty (I don't really like any of the warpaint, but scars would have been good). I did give her short hair and the "heaviest" body type, which doesn't look very elf-like. She looks like she should be wearing a horned helmet and singing opera. I should switch her to heavy armor. She wasn't that nasty until she fell in with a certain Daedric prince who gave her a pretty mace that she likes very much. I'm planning an epic Daedric multi-quest to get other cool gear.

I have a Daedra-worshipping Bosmer and a Divines-worshipping Imperial Dunmer. I'm going to run a no-magic barbarian Altmer so I'll have a complete set of confused elves.

I started doing this for my first playthrough, but got tired of restrictions and just played the game. I veened from my RP standpoint and just killed stuff. I want to make this character now that I've experienced enough of Skyrim.

Also, weapon of choice? Straight bow and arrow? Magic? 1h?

Here's mine, a level 46 http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/images/2933-1-1327449957.jpg. Dual wields a Moonstone Akaviri katana (thanks to Crafting 300) and a paralyzing, soul trapping elven dagger, wears cloth but uses armor spells. Uses Jordis the Sword Maiden and occasionally a Sanguine Rose conjured Dremora to tank, but rushes in for awesome damage with dual wield power attacks and critical strikes. The backstory I came up with is that she's an undercover Thalmor agent sent to keep tabs on Ulfric, but was caught by an Imperial raid on the Stormcloak camp she'd infiltrated. After escaping from Helgen she joined the Imperial Legion, deeming Ulfric to be too dangerous to be allowed to come to power (plus her newly contracted vampirism would make going back to the espionage role a bit difficult.)
