I set basic rules for it that CAN'T BE BROKEN unless you feel like being a wuss. Lost of this is for realism so no magic or enchanted stuff. Can't go over 250lbs of total weight.
1. Food. You have to hunt for it and you can't carry over 15lb of food
2. Looting. If you're high level NO LOOTING HIGH LEVEL STUFF, stick the the Iron, Hides, Fur, Steel etc. Also food in looting... NOPE only salts and spices... You're a hunter not a raider.
3. Weapons. Basic stuff like Iron weapons for start and if you can find steel grab it. You have 4 slots of weapons no more. Primary: Swords, Axes, Maces, Hammers, Great-swords, Battle-axes. Secondary/Backup: Knives, daggers, SMALL weapons not over 5lbs. Ranged: Bows, and Xbows but only the basic ones that look like real things. and Shield: This can be replaced for a small weapon. Basic shields Hide, Iron, Leather etc.
4. Travel: NO fast travel. Horses are allowed. Carriages also
5. Money: Start with about 50-100 gold after you have your stuff. You need to sell hides, and such for the money.
6. Magic/Shouts. None only you born given ability can be used.
7. Roleplay: Eat you fool! MAke sure it's cooked, and good. eat whenever you find camp and depending on travel, eat some of your food.
It's proven to be really especially high levels because of the challenging enemies like dragons where I have to run the the nearest garrison if I hope to kill that thing.
I haven't left the Tundra yet due to lots of challenges and enemies but I intend on heading North into the swamps of Hjallmarch.
Post your characters I want to see them!
