Uhm.. That's what I role-play in Skyrim.

I would live in either Riften or Solitude.

In Riften, I'd work for Maven (though Idespise her, she clearly knows what she is doing and it would be beneficial to work for her instead of not)

In Solitude I would become a Stormcloak agent that reports on Imperial activities by cleaning up after soldiers

I'm not sure about wanting to live in Skyrim being comparable to wanting to live in 1920's Paris, but I loved Midnight in Paris... great movie. I see... a rhinoceros.

I'm sure I'd be happier in a safe, bustling version of 1920s Paris while simultaneously meeting F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Salvador Dalí, and Gertrude Stein than I would be by trying not to get myself eaten by a dragon and fighting frostbite in a frozen wasteland.

Have you talked to that dude that works in the Meadery? She murders anyone who doesn't do their job right.

I'd probably want to live in Solitude, since it seems to be a fairly safe place. I'd open up one of those general goods stalls, probably selling weapons and trinkets that adventurers bring into town. They seem to make a good living, and having all those weapons would be beneficial if the war took a turn for the worst or the Dragonborn went on one of his crazy killing rampages. I'd also make sure I had some menial quest to give him, so I'd be invincible.

as woody Allen always says: life is going on, and that's the most fearsome feeling a human can have. where ever and whenever he/she lives.

I’m the exact opposite! I play these games of the “past” (though with more magic and fantasy than ever really existed) because the future can’t arrive soon enough!

Sure we have made great strides in technology over the past century, but humans are still about forced labor and controlling each other’s lives, even in an era of abundance when none need to go without.

If anything, socially, man is basically the same creature he was a thousand years ago. Without certain laws and systems of surveillance, many would be right back to stealing and murdering and keeping slaves, or burning any who didn’t agree with him at the stake.

They still find ways to be themselves even today. Yet there are more enlightened people as well. It is just a difficult transition where a mix of people are terrified of change and doing everything they can to sabotage it from happening, even supporting evil greed, and those who are so desperate they welcome the WRONG change, like the brain zombie Ray Kurzweil crowd.

Now the public’s top choice in the American presidential race wants to do away with education, internal improvement, social welfare, and let every man fend off monopolistic globalist greed for themselves, perhaps growing magical solutions to the threats we ignore in our back yards, and people cheer!

It is a sign of the times, just how terrified and desperate and na?ve we all still are. V for Vendetta was one of the most accurate depictions of our present state as any I have seen.

If we survive this “technological adolescence” as Carl Sagan put it, there is GREAT potential for peace and human happiness, without having to give up our freedoms for the security that may bring.

I get the feeling though, that not many civilizations in this Universe make it. I think they get about to where we are, freak out, and destroy themselves. I sure hope I’m wrong.

I would probably prefer the solitary life and be a monk or scholar. Perhaps a historian writing countless books on life or just writing down knowledge of what has been learned so it may be passed down and improved over the ages.

I'd probably attempt to pursue a life of study, along with the practice of magic. The idea of magic has always intrigued me, and learning the lore of the land and the scriptures required to broaden my mind would be a good challenge to tackle without having to leave the "safe" confines of the College of Winterhold.

If that didn't work out, I'd most likely join the Legion as a Legionnaire or a blacksmith; forging arms for the Empire.
