If you were in Skyrim, how far would you make it?

Post » Fri Jun 01, 2012 7:29 pm

Hmm, are we allowed to suddenly know magick? Otherwise I think I'd be screwed because my stats are all wrong to be a rogue or warrior (not without a lot of work).

Honestly, I'd have never left Cyrodiil for Skyrim in the first place.

i would make it all the way to my grave, as the richest person in skyrim! provided i get past the bear or over the wall. after i escape i will go to riften and get into the thieves' guild, i might not be a very good lockpick but i know im a good thief :biggrin: oh and i would turn down that proposition later on if the guild takes that route

You know something I always wondered about is you have the leader of a rebellion against your empire in your custody and a nameless unknown prisoner as well. Makes sense to kill the guy who matters least first.

I would probably have been shot by the archers when I wrapped my bound hands around her neck when she turned to walk to the block.

IF Alduin had "saved" me from the block, and didn't fry me himself, I'da tried to get over the fence or outa the gate. Grab a bow along the way ( I actually know how to use one) and a dagger ( don't really know how to use that, but the pointy end goes INTO people.)

Hey you supose swinging a Mace is close to swinging a softball bat?

I would have survived the dragon attack and later become a ranger in riverwood.

However, being a crap ranger, I would have eaten a magic mushroom and tripped and broken my neck while skipping down the mountainside.

No but by the stance that is used it looks like swinging anything that takes two hands uses similiar skills.

I would have been a bard, tagging along with the Dovakiin and writing songs about your journeys....

The Dovakiin ran away
Bravely ran away, away
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, the Dovakiin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Dovakiin (modified Brave Sir Robin) :biggrin:



I'd be dead now, right?

Awesome song there. Here's another one:

Our coward, our coward, claims a shirker's heart.
I tell you, I tell you, the Dragonborn flees.
With a voice wielding power of a girlish scream.
Believe, believe, the Dragonborn flees.

Well assuming I'm the Dragonborn I'd be unstoppable, especially with my dual enchanted Daedric Axes of Awesome (that do over 9000! Damage each) and my armor made of dragon bones.

If I were a regular guy Orc I'd be either in the legion or in a smithy somewhere just getting by.

How, in Talos' name, did you get your axes to do 9,000 damage?

I'd be lucky to escape Helgen. After that...probably try and learn destruction magic, find a group of travelers in need of a mage and stick with them for a while.

I'd die of starvation in jail. Why?

The law would find the location of my Skooma and Hargraven Brothel.

In case no one else has said it, I'd probably get shot in the knee while still in the catacombs beneath Helgen :tongue:

I think I'd just have to sneak my way to whiterun and become an alchemist...unless that is I get transported back 15 to 20 yrs younger!

I may know how to use a bow, but "in game" I'm partial to battle axes at 5'2 I think the darn things might be longer than I am tall!!!! Now in Oblivion my favorite was the Katana, I think I could do that... Katana, bow, alchemy...nice little house with lots and lots of books for those cold skyrim nights. A horse would be nice...errrr only if it act's like a real horse though!

Ummm maybe one of those nice muscular Nords to keep the bed warm...but ONLY if he bath's regularly....yuck!

It depends. If I was the actual Dovakiin, then i'd be born with powers. I'd be a 'hero' so i'd be much stronger, faster and smarter then normal people. With this knowledge in mind, plus the knowledge that the God's chose me to kill Aludin, and one of the Nine is the God of Time, so he can see my victory, i'd actually charge into battle quite happily.

However if I went in with no 'battle' skills, then i'd stick with the imperial soldiers and flee when I could, then make my way to Riverwood -> Whiterun and stay there. I know how murderers got away with crimes back before they had fingerprinting and DNA anolysis. I'd just lure women out and murder them, and live off their trinkets.

If I somehow escaped Helgen I'd probably just wile away my days in Riverwood. Except between getting fried by Alduin, killed by Stormcloaks, eaten by a bear, poisoned by spiders, and eating bad meat, I don't think I'd escape Helgen.

I'd still be in the first tower rolled in a ball and chanting to myself "I don't believe in dragons" until the bandits arrived and killed me.
