Well... i'm starting another character, and i'm using the Mod: Alternate Start - Live Another Life.

The mod basically lets you choose another way to start the game...

I want my Nord Male to have some "dramatic" or "Violent" backstory... By that i mean that i want him to start the game as :

1st - Being left to die
2nd- Captured crossing the border
3rd- Camping in the Woods


And i want my character to seek Revenge..

Any ideas ?

1st his radical Legionaries/Stormcloacks friends he once supported left him to die after he talked about nicely about the other side. So he joins the enemy in order to get his revenge and imagine that in those CW battles he kills them.

Well, just the first thing that came to my mind. Quite cliche tough.

What about i was helping the Legion, but then they left me to die because i had no more use for them ?

How about he was hunting in the wood's when the Legion caught him. He fought back because.... they were talking about sending him to the jail/headsman. He got beat-up badly, left to die. One of the Guards was someone that he grew-up with so knew he wasn't a spy or bandit. so he'd want revenge on the person he grew-up with because they didn't speak up for him.

Hmm, I haven't "completed" the game yet (by any measure) so my range is quite limited, but for a revenge roleplay (without doing any major questlines necessarily), there's at least a few ripe opportunities that I've seen: orcs, forsworn, imperials/stormcloaks. All have strongholds outside of cities and would demand the character build his talents before being able to seek revenge directly.

Forsworn are the most limited geographically, but the rest are more or less spread throughout Skyrim. Which group sparks your imagination?
