What do people do for fun in skyrim?

Post » Tue Jun 12, 2012 8:01 am

I just go around killing for fun.
For the lulz, pickpocket the armor and weapons off every guard in a town and pile it up in a small room. I chose http://www.witchqueensia.com/gallery/d/66404-1/0001_012.jpg.

What does my character do for fun? He spends hours and hours alone, pretending to be a flabby underachiever who has real difficulties with his relationship, his finances, and his general self-defeating approach to life. It's a change of pace from being a super-powered heroic wizard.

What do I do in Skyrim for fun? Slaughter entire camps of Forsworn.

They seem to enjoy shouting you never should of come here and staying up all night sitting in a chair.

They seem to have fun repeating nonsense to strangers and mocking dragonborns.

I think the OP was talking about the residents of Skyrim, not you the player. ;)

They'll do what any communities anywhere else would have done during that time period - (or the one it's anologous to) - many of them would have led extremely harsh lives of grinding poverty punctuated by bouts of disease and fighting. Entertainment would have been limited to dancing, singing, storytelling, and drinking - though bear in mind that beer was drunk pretty much by everyone because you were less likely to die if you drank it than you were if you drank the water.
You would have itinerant storytellers and musicians - (bards), and yes "hedge wizards" selling potions and doing conjuring tricks. Games would have been simple and probably would have involved hoops and tag and that kind of thing.
If you were rich you would have had more leisure time so hunting, falconry, and that sort of thing would have been popular pastimes.
Life would have been a lot more serious because it was A Lot More Serious, certainly more so than early 21st century America or Western Europe.

Meh, those lazy NPCs do nothing and leave me killing dragons, fighting a civil war, resolving love triangles and act as a courier. Slackers.

After i finish questing with my character and turn off my Xbox my character heads up to his room and plays his Xbox where he controls a fat man around futuristic looking buildings and the only dragon in the land lives with him.


Hope your dragon doesn't read the forums.

I walk in the woods.

It's pretty relaxing except for when a giant spider or a wolf pack is trying to bite your head off.

Let's see: they have deserted cities, deserted taverns, deserted caves, deserted roads... they probably all gathered in an underground Nord theme park and have sealed the doors from inside so Dovahkiin couldn't join :confused:

Apparently they go around shooting each other in the knee. Or at least they did it a lot right up until I arrived.

Something that isn't about the stupidity of today's people, like reading, hunting, fishing, poetry, singing, crafting, smithing, etc. All can be fun things, depending on who you are..

I think getting drunk is a stupid thing to do. Not a fun thing to do.

When not adventuring, they steal sweetrolls.

Nah. Trolldits will shoot adventures randomly in their knees so those adventures can become guards then the Trolldits will steal sweetrolls from good little boys and girls.

A true nord would reply: "What's a milk drinker like you doing out here? Go home to your mother!" :biggrin:

Explore any cave I come across, most found while wandering off trail (as I do most of the time).

Drink, wander around town aimlessly, talk, eat bread, play tag, play hide-and-seek, kill, hunt, give giants fancy cows, kill, fist fights, steal, obsessing over death, worshipping daedra, and kill.

Arrange your houses with trophies. In addition to Daedric artifacts, I like Centurion dynamo cores and gold Dibella statues.

I enjoy decapitating people and then dragging em up a mountain and letting em fall down, that's just me though, or bringing delphine to the throat of the world just to use unrelenting force on her so she goes flying off the cliff, i hate that [censored] lol

How do you make them stay? sometimes they do for me but most of the time things i leave in my house end up on the floor somehow. (damn housecarls are useless)
