if you were in skyrim...

Post » Tue Jun 12, 2012 5:12 pm

If I were in Skyrim I would be horrified. Not only would natural light and shadows look terrible on ALL people, but serious technological advancements would be gone. Spears, Halberds, even throwing knives do not exist in this land!

Getting past that are the people, who don't know how to get out of my way, push me into things, and cannot act like real people. I can't even kill some of these people because the powers that be want me to interact with them in a specific, linear way. Their intelligence is poor, and they repeat words to me several times, many of whom have similar, if not completely the same accent.

I'm not able to haggle in this world either. very strange. Other strange things include the lost arts of Hand to Hand combat, despite hearing tale of people amongst us who know such styles of combat. A Khajiit Monk was mentioned when I was in the Dark Brotherhood.

I'm capable of learning how to create masterful ebony weaponry after spending my entire life making nothing but Iron Daggers.

I will always find a convenient way out of any cave that was not the way I went in. I will even find fresh cabbages and similar coins to the designs used today.

If you cannot see, I really would not look forward to living in Skyrim. I'd rather live in the Mojave, where patrolling it would make we wish for a Nuclear Winter.

I would be a cook inside a stone building. That way I could stay close to the fire but not worry about being set on fire.

I'd be in the College of Winterhold as a student in Restoration, Illusion, and Alteration schools offering services to the locals as a healer and diplomat to the people of Winterhold, while doubling as a scholar in the lost Dwemer, Falmer, and Nedic civilizations along with studying the cultural history of other races, co-opting with Calcelmo and other minds. In doing so, I become adept at the bow and arrow to protect myself during such incursions into lost ruins.

By virtue of my pallor, height, interests, and affinities I'd refer to myself as a Breton, and marry either Muiri, a priestess of Dibella, Onmund, or someone with a magical/learned background-or at least someone that doesn't hate magic. I'd give homage to the Divines, particularly Dibella, Mara, Kynareth, Julianos, and *gasp* Talos, along with dabbling in the worship of Meridia and Azura.

If I was in Skyrim with my body and my real skills I would be a musician or a writer.

As I said before, I would join the Companions and become a werewolf so I could be powerful. But before that I would kill that little girl who says, "I'm not afraid of you, you know even if you are my elder!" she annoys me especially when she comes in my house just to say that.

just turn her into a werewolf or sacrifice her to Boethiah as you get a funky poision armour!

Uhh you can't turn people into werewolves, wish you could, but you can't, nor can you have her as a follower since she is a child. Damn you Bethesda, damn you!!!! You taunt me with not being able to kill her!

I would chop wood for a couple of weeks, then i would go to the Imperial city and buy a house there and make money by searching barrels and crates.

Construct a rifle out of Ebony and Ironwood, crush the rebellion, Get every thalmor scum right between the eyes and rebuild the Empire.
Then settle down with my spoils o' war and live the good life.
Oh, and something to do with dragons.

i would go straite to winterhold and to the collage and leran as much as i could in illusion, conjoration, destruction, restoration and maybe some alteration, for like 10 years. while also through all that time learning how to sneak and all that and also when i could learn how to sword fight. then after i had learned as much as i could at the collage and sneaking and swords and all that i would go to riften and join the thiefs guild. after a few years of being in the thiefs guild and saving up a bunch of money i would go off and try and join the Darkbrotherhood until i ether died or retired from it if you can do tha. then i would move to falkreath and live out my days there.

I would take up Alvor's offer and be his apprentice. The way he likes to go after dragons I'd be the town's head blacksmith in no time. Then I could put the moves on his beautiful wife (who desperately needs a bath).

Here i completed it for you.

Our hero, our hero, got eaten up
I tell you, I tell you, the sabercat comes
With a claw wielding power of the sabercat art
Believe, believe, the sabercat comes
It’s a delicious meal, for all sabercats
Beware, beware, the sabercat comes
For the darkness has come, since the legend has been eaten
You’ll know, You’ll know the sabercat comes

meh

I'd probably die of some vitamin deficiency that the developers never accounted for.

"Inventing" indoor plumbing and a hot and cold water shower. I'd also invent a cleaning spell and open a laundry.

I'd probably be holed up in whatever hold city I was born in. I'd like to visit the Bard's College and join up, but the journey over would be dangerous. Unless I go bother the dude(tte) running around using the Thu'um and being generally silly to take time out of his schedule to help me over. Then I'd wait for a few weeks for him/her to remember I exist, come back, and since it's Skyrim, I'd probably be killed by a dragon just outside the gates to Solitude.

I would go to High Hrothgar and learn to shout. I would also try and join the Mages guild and become a master mage of all categories. Especially Destruction.

Imagine using "Become Ethereal" and then jumping on a really high waterfall or mountain and landing without feeling anything. Or using Unrelenting Force to blow people away and off of mountains. Amazing.

I would definitely be magically gifted in the TES world, so i would make a pretty grand mage, build a tower that is hidden in a temporal vortex so that if sh*t hits the fan I can be safe XD, I would spend a lot of time in libraries and taverns :P

You have this very well thought out. You should write a romance novel about it.
he should leave the (how romantic) part out though XD

Hm..If I was actually in Skyrim...

What'd I would like to do is learn how to use a weapon properly (even if it's just an iron battleaxe or something), learn a bit of Restoration magic for the healing spells, join the Stormcloaks, then in my later years, learn a couple of shouts with the Greybeards (maybe just frost breath and unrelenting force). But that's what I'd like to do.

What I'd actually end up doing is probably working for Belethor, at the general goods store, or working for Hod in Riverwood, maybe Alvor..I dunno lol.
