I'd tag around with Mjoll in Riften, weeding out the last of the Thieve's Guild. I'd be a sellsword/adventurer with a sense of honor, meaning I would only take jobs that I felt were karmonically balanced.

Once we wiped out the last of those sniveling Thieve's, Mjoll and I would probably settle down together in Riften and open up a jeweler's shop for my fine wares.

(Kind of off topic, but that reminds me: I wish we could refine stone quality at the smithy. I want all my Garnets to be Flawless.

I'd most likely head to Winterhold in order to study magic for a couple of decades. (Assuming I had some magical potential.) After that, I would start heading toward Markarth is seek the teachings of a 'certain Dwemer researcher' in Markarth. The remainder of my days would include regular expeditions to Dwemer ruins dotted around the region while committing a lot of time to regular study within the walls of Markarth itself.

In terms of alignment, I suppose I would be good, considering I'm not into the whole theft and murder thing myself - plus, what magical attributes I have at my disposal would come in handy when helping the locals out. (If they aren't too overly cautious.)
As for marriage, I'm not really sure. I guess I'd marry whomever walks into my life and capture my heart. Until then, research!

I would live in Breezehome with Adrianne Avanicci (after stealing her away from the War-Bear fella -- I am a thief after all), and together we would run Warmaiden's and sell top notch Legendary weapons and armor of all types. We would be divine (good) blacksmiths with many of our weapons designed for use against the evil doers of Skyrim. I would hunt and mine ore by day and smelt and forge goods by evening and by night... well I mentioned that I would be with Adrianne...

I'd probably live in Whiterun, in order to some day join up with the Companions. I'd probably end up wedding Aela, like I did in-game.

Divide my time between the College and hopefully the Dark Brotherhood... not that I have any real life urge to become an assassin of course :ph34r:

Unless I get to reduce my age by about 15 to 20 yr's, I'd probably stay in Riverwood and start my own Alchemy shop. If I can take those yr's off then I'd go to Whiterun and join the companions. Save enough money to buy a nice little horse ranch in the Riverwood area. Marry? I dunno, whoever make's my heart go mushy.

Depends.

I assume you mean if I had been born a Nord in Skyrim?



I would most likely have joined the Imperial Legion as soon as I was old enough and march through the world, and settle in Cyrodil/Skyrim if I survived to become old.


But if I was born with magic in my blood I'd probably have gone on a mad quest to become more powerful... with little concern for the tools I used.

I'd be a hunter in The Rift, probably. Live a solitary life, able to provide food and shelter for myself and make some money off hunting. Perhaps aid the local militia or adventurers when they need my tracking skills.

Nothing fancy or heroic, but very satisfactory.

I would be at Winterhold full time. I wouldn't marry, I'd just be a dysfunctional, weird as heck, mage. I would barely be able to talk to people, and my socks would never match. I would have a beard about 4 ft long, and would dress in the fantasy equivalent of a sweater vest /w socks and sandles. The only thing is, I would be a frequent traveler, who looked for weird Stuff and study Archaeology and The Earth. I'd most likely be a Breton.

And I'd have a cat.

Without dragons to seed chaos, I shall take on the mantle of doing so. Skyrim deserves an elite class of troublemakers.

I'd make my way to Riften and look to become an apprentice under Wylandriah, offering my skills of organization in return for knowledge.
After years of servitude and learning what I could from her little, wise mumbling, I would set up myself in Peak's Shade Tower near Falkreath.
There I'd conduct daedric rituals and experiments or perhaps study the local spriggans. I'd look to gain my upkeep by being a local court wizard.

My alignment would be similar to a chaotic neutral d&d character, as my whims, nor path would be defined by society's definition of good and evil.
In the world of The Elder Scrolls, I'd look for a chance of immortality and thus try to gain some kind of vampirism, lycanthropy or even embrace lichdom.
This can be seen as evil to some, but my ideals would not always lead me down that road. I might even be welcoming to those who look to do me no harm.

And lastly about marriage, If I came across Borghak the Steel Heart in my service to the Jarl of Falkreath, I'd definitely look into courting her, hehe. :wub:

I would probably staying in the college of winterhold for a while, to help train new members of the college. As far as marriage goes I would probably end up marrying Olfina Gray-Mane. I have a very good relationship with her uncle, Vignar Gray-Mane where I originally met up with him when I became a member of the companions, and he knows my dark little secret that I don't tend to release to the public.

I would just sit back on the Honeyside Porch, in Riften, kick up my feet, sip mead, listen to the sound of the waves, watch as clouds drift by. I would invite Mjoll over for a conversation or hang out with Iona, date either Vorstag or Marcurio hahahaha

Hmm, I would be a Nord Scholar/Archeologist. Discover and research old ruins and barrows - a female Indiana Jones! :D After I grow tired of that business, I would open up a shop and sell all the riches I've gathered through my journeys... OH or open a Nordic History Museum! Then I would write a book about my adventures! :)

Either Riverwood or Solitude. If it is after the dragons, I would be an armorer and make use of all the dragon scales/plate, sell or export a few sets and not really have to worry about money. The rest of the time just go adventuring/hunting.

Otherwise start an archaeological dig of some of the largest dwarven ruins, trying to find out everything possible.

If I had the balls, I'd also tag along with Mjoll in Riften.

Otherwise I'd probably settle down near Whiterun w/ a non-adventuring wife. I'd hunt for meat and fur. The meat would get sold to the local butcher and we'd open a fur and leather goods shop.

Hmm. Probably either Whiterun or Markarth, there my favourite cities on the game, although living in markarth would be risky with the forsworn, so probably Whiterun, if not a city then in a house near the falkreath area, have my own little alchemt garden and lab :tes:

I'd marry Senna (priestess of Dibella), and after I scoured the thalmor, undead, and daedra from Skyrim, I would settle down in Solitude. My alignment is good of course, and I would devote my retirement to healing, crafting services, and baking cookies for orphans. My night time activities would be training future Paladins in the art of righteous war.

I would attend the College of Winterhold for the first few years studying magic and trying to uncover the secrets of Aetherius. Later, say in my thirties, I would travel the world in search of ancient magical artefacts. Eventually I would go back to the college to teach.

I would become Archmage at which time I would invent Dragon Bone weapons (since no thought that a material that can deflect swords and axes would be suitable as a weapon). In my twilight years I would become a court wizard in Solitude or Whiterun.

I would have been spending my younger years trying, and failing, to win the heart of the Bard Lisette in Solitude. She would eventually warm up to me though and we'd get married and live off the proceeds of Dragon Bone weapons.

I would also spend some time trying to find out what happened to all the dragons and if there are any alive.
