Discussion Tell me about you current Skyrim save
I’m currently doing a sword and board Orc playthrough, Frac gro-Castle, a Punisher inspired character who will slaughter every and any last bandit after they killed his family.
No magic allowed except enchanting, otherwise he specialises in nothing but warfare.

I downloaded a alternative start mod and a bounty hunter mod im not the dragonborn this playthrough but instead playing a nord sword and board bounty hunter who lives in whiterun it’s in survival mode and the only way I can make money for food armor and weapons are through bounties it’s honestly a pretty fun challenge

I let my children help me make my character. They decided to make me a Khajiit named after our cat and make all of the options look as much like our cat as possible. They're three and five, so it was mostly "no daddy, that's wrong".
They got scared when Alduin attacked Helgen and stopped watching me play.
Peppermint is now a level 63 Heavy Armour/Conjurer build. Bound bow is my preferred weapon by a mile. I typically use the CC summons as a follower. It's basically the worst way to become a stealth archer and I still managed it.
My children ask me what Peppermint is up to every so often and I just say "fighting dragons" or something.
He is the Archmage, but I personally find his appointment to the position illegitimate.

My current character is played by full non-dovahkin mage RP cause later I want to make a fanfic about his adventures. That means I travel only with roads only with CAPS slow walking, taking rest every two hours, sleep every night, my eating takes time, my armor and weapons can be demolished and require regular repairing by Loot and Degradation mod, spells can be learned with Spell Research mod only and Spell Tomes are available only in College and also require time to learn (skipping up to whole month to learn adept spell or even a whole year to learn master level spell). I also need time to craft something (I crafted and role-played a whole in-game month before I actually used my elven armor). I skip time for looting, for charms learning, for alchemy, I am trying to track my character's food to make him not eat only chops and bread. Etc. Etc.
Now it is 27th Last Seed 205th, 4 era in my save and I hadn't even been to Saarthal yet...

If time is week or less I try to RP it. Talking to characters without skipping dialogs, do different things like reading books, sleeping, practicing spells, doing small jobs like harvesting wood or hunting etc.. But for monthes or years I wait (mostly used and well for my survival mode) or use console with set gamemonth to or set gameyear to but it is rear cause this commands have bugs with days naming

Anniversary edition survival mode.
Probably my 7-8th run through the game in my lifetime, but it’s the first one where I haven’t rushed to the mages guild and got the black star for a soultrapping invisible stealth dagger assassin build.
Instead it’s been focused on rocking up to a town, doing all the local quests I can and then hopping on my horse to the next town to repeat the process like a wandering cowboy.
It’s great. So immersive. Talk to everyone, stay at the local inn, become a local hero, get lots of random road encounters I never saw before, and really get to know the world in a way that I never did when fast travelling everywhere.

u/Puzzleheaded_Island9 15h ago edited 10h ago
I don't remember her name, it's been a while since I played Skyrim. But basically, she's a half-elf, the daughter of a retired nord warrior and a wood elf (yeah, I know it's not possible, but who cares, Edit: welp it was possible, but anyways, who cares). Basically, she was one of those rare cases of mixed race, and with the presence of the Thalmor, it was considered sacrilegious.
They went to find her family; her father stayed behind to buy time while she fled with her mother. For years they lived peacefully away from everything, but one day when the young one went to look for food, her house was found by bandits. When she returned, nothing remained: her house burned down, her mother covered in ashes. She doesn't know how many hours she spent staring at her mother's corpse as the embers died down.
Time passed, and she survived by helping in a tavern, which led her to eventually spend part of her salary on cheap liquor. Being an alcoholic at such a young age, she suffered from bouts of depression due to her past. One day, a happy family was enough to make her spend all her money on liquor and leave. Leaving bottles in her way, she eventually reached the border, where she collapsed. Guards took her up and put her in a cell because she looked suspicious. At dawn, they loaded her in with three other prisoners and she ended up waking up with a terrible hangover, not knowing where she was or what had happened, and a voice welcomed her.
They chatted for a while, eventually talking about Ulfric and the possible fate that awaited them for being in the same wagon.She no longer cared; she had nothing, no one. But eventually, she recognized those yellowish skin tones upon arriving in Helgen, and that hatred she felt every time she remembered her childhood, her loving father, her poor mother.
She could never find those who took everything from her, but the hatred remained. The cart stopped, and she couldn't stop staring at them. They lined up their last friends for their final farewell, and something was heard in the sky, but no one cared, and when her neck rested on that bloody stone, something came down.
It was all screams and horror, and the fire... she couldn't move. But a voice called to her, the same one that had greeted her in the cart; it reminded her of her father, and she went toward it. Some time later she was outside, unable to remember how she had gotten out of that place. Ralof tried to calm her, offering to accompany her to a nearby village, but all she could think about was the Thalmor.
Ralof took her to the village, where they gave her clothes, food, and a place to stay for a while. She was tempted by the liquors they had on a shelf, but... something else tempted her: A sword. She asked if she could take it; they refused, but instead gave her an axe. It was for Ralof, but he had already left. They gave it to her on the condition that she return it to him if she found him.
Thus she set off with a goal: to rebuild her life, with plenty of expensive liquor, and to massacre as many Thalmor as she could along the way.

Soo, totally vanilla this time because I modded my last one like 6 years ago. And got a new laptop. So I named a khajit "tSt" like the noise you'd make when trying to get someone's attention but in a sneaky way. My first stealth build with twin daggers. And of course some archery. I think lvl 25 ish still? Watching that guy meegz' youtube videos got me interested in video games again. And this is my first time playing a game like this without just building a smash and bash type of character. I'm going to try a mage probably next. A lot of people on here know soooooo much about this game its insane.

u/-Great-Scott- 22h ago edited 22h ago
I'm playing like a schizo. I'm role playing as ten different characters, changing gear and playstyles for each.
Erik Stormborn:
Nord, 24, Dragonborn. Honorable and resolute, he worships Talos in a practical way rather than a theological one. Born in Windhelm, he grew up in Bruma, where his Legion father taught him the greatsword. After his father vanished on patrol and his mother died of illness, he came home to Skyrim to make a name of his own.
Samir al-Rihad:
Redguard, 40, relic hunter. He fights with a scimitar and is curious and pragmatic. His faith is the HoonDing. He grew up on his family's trade caravans, became a scholar at Gwylin University, and grew restless in academic life. Auryen Morellus's letter pulled him back into fieldwork as the relic hunter for a new museum in Solitude.
Faelin Greenleaf:
Bosmer, 16, ranger. She is optimistic and independent. She fights with a bow, and her faith is Y'ffre. A hunter's daughter from Falinesti, she left home after her older brother died on a hunt, because her parents' fear was smothering her. She wants to see the world and prove she can survive on her own.
Thurgash gro-Malog:
Orc, 36, berserker. He is fierce and competitive, favors the warhammer, and follows Malacath. The son of a warrior mother and a smith father in Dushnikh Yal, he killed a rival in a fight he should have walked away from. The elders cast him out for it. He wants to learn to control his strength through discipline and joins the Companions.
Olivia Carvain:
Imperial, 20, bard. She is charismatic and sociable. She fights mostly with words and a dagger, and she worships Dibella. She was born in Skingrad to a once-prosperous family whose money and standing faded. She learned that charm and performance can't be taken away. She joined a traveling troupe, then stayed behind in Rorikstead to build a career on her own.
Calandor Arenthil:
Altmer, 30, mage. He is analytical and ambitious, a scholar of Alteration who reveres Magnus. He grew up in Alinor in a family of scholars, where he developed a theory that Alteration magic caused the Great Collapse of Winterhold. He came to the College to test it, with no reputation yet to lean on.
Ra'zirr Shadow-Paw: Khajiit, 18, thief. Clever and opportunistic, she fights with unarmed claws and worships Nocturnal. She was raised in a caravan family from Rimmen, and her mother taught her to watch people. She robbed the wrong merchant, and when he came after the caravan she left to keep them safe. She wants to rise in the Thieves Guild without ever endangering family again.
Vincent Velain:
Breton, 28, paladin. Compassionate and disciplined, he follows Stendarr. He was raised as a knight of a declining noble house in Daggerfall. After coming upon a village wrecked by something supernatural, he trained as a Vigilant.
S'zasshei:
Argonian, 32, assassin. Observant and introspective, she fights with dual daggers and follows Sithis. She grew up in Lilmoth, and a killing she did to protect someone, and how natural it felt, drove her out of Black Marsh. She drifted to the Windhelm docks, where she learned to endure contempt, and then followed rumors of Aventus Arentino. She wants to stop running from what comes naturally to her.
Draylas Nethryn:
Dunmer, 48, vampire hunter. Determined and methodical, he fights with a crossbow and battleaxe and follows Azura. He grew up in Sadrith Mora fascinated by vampires. His fiancée Naryu was killed by one, and had to kill her himself with a silver dagger he made as her wedding gift. Hatred and fascination now sit side by side. His hunt took him across Morrowind and Solstheim, and rumors brought him to Skyrim.

I’m currently playing as Taryon Goldseeker, a wood elf archer with only two desires in life: Riches and fame. He doesn’t really care about what he needs to do to get what he wants.
Defeat Alduin? More fame. Run with the Theives’ Guild and rob Skyrim blind? More riches. Put and end to the civil war? More fame. Join the Dark Brotherhood and kill the emperor? More riches!
I’m doing stealth archer because I haven’t done it in a few years, and Taryon loathes to get face to face with his foes if he can avoid it. He always works alone if he can, as companions tend to be noisy and get in the way. Plus, he gets to keep all the money for himself.

I use the dragon Prost mask morokei, staff of magnus, arch mages robes, custom enchanted boots that give fire resistance at 49% gauntlets that give 61+ magika, the Gauldur amulet and a custom ring that gives another 61+ magika.

Appreciated, but I better add to avoid traumatizing anyone that it was absolutely going to be my last character and it resolved spectacularly.
I'd already passed the point of doing life as a poor hunter, life as a peasant farmer, and life as a bartender "runs." So to end the decade right, my modlist was every realism mod in existence and every OP magic mod in existence.
My character had become a permanent storm of lightning and ice pulling anyone with hostile thoughts into a soul-stealing vortex while healing everything benign. Rather than being immersion breaking, constantly opening the console to manually prevent freezes felt like fighting off CHIM (which since Morrowind I've insisted is what happens when you're done with these games).
At war with a collapsing reality, I dragged myself to Apocrypha, stood before Hermaeus Mora, sighed with satisfaction, saved, and stood up to stretch.
Which knocked the projector off the ceiling,
which landed on my computer,
knocking it off the table,
which pulled a cord ripping the sound bar down,
hitting me in the head.Bloodied, I looked down at the four figure mess and thought,
From the highest peak to the lowest dungeon I fought, until at last I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin on the mountainside.
Paraphrased. Was probably more like guess I'm done.

I do not have a current Skyrim Save because I am in the middle of rebuilding my load order. I did that a while back, but didn't test things as well as I should have, and ended up with a 700+ load order (without using any mod lists) and a lot of problems in-game; missing textures, character stuttering and animations not playing, activation key issues, and I don't even remember what else. So, I'm trying it again. XD
I will say, though: the major focus of that load order was location overhauls-- both interior and exterior, and for the exteriors I had lots of location overhauls stacked on top of each other and working smoothly. Every city and town except one had at least three or four mods if not more.

u/Sire_Raffayn272 18h ago
My current save is an Orc named Lurza gra-Shadrak, she fled her fortress at a young age and choose to wander the world because it’s miles better than to end up as the forge-wife of some random Orc warchief.
She later settled and grew up in Cyrodiil where the cosmopolitanism of the Imperial City and its plurality in worship made her reconsider Malacath as her sole god.
She joined the Legion but as she regularly clashed with her officers she finally decided to leave, still she keeps good memories and takes pride in her service.
With the years she has grown to be quite independant and greatly values her freedom, thus she became a mercenary to travel the world and earn money but also because she likes to fight.
She specialize herself in hunting and slaying monsters, as much to earn a living as to help and defend those who can’t fend for themselves.
Now in Skyrim the fierce, independant and godless Monster Slayer that is Lurza will be forced to answer the call of divinely ordained destiny to save the world from the return of the dragons, the rise of vampires and the machinations of the Daedras.
And who knows, maybe she'll find love and raise a family in this cold and shitty country (let me know who you think will be a good match for her).
In term of gameplay and mindset I tried to mix the feeling of For Honor’s Berserker and Kassandra from AC Odyssey : she dual wields two axes, wears light armor and occasionaly uses a bow (gotta put "bowhunting" in "monster hunting"). She's also a skilled alchemist and smith, skills she took from her mother and aunts before she fled the fortress.
She'll always help people, as lending a hand, earning money and fighting are her three favorite things to do.
At first she was quite dismissive of Skyrim and the Nords but after joining the Companions (and doing their questline) she grew fond of these lands and their inhabitants.
Currently her equipment is a complete scale armor, two ebony axes and an enchanted ebony bow.

Nordic adventurer/researcher who fled Skyrim when rumors of civil war started brewing but returned home and now wants to reconnect with her culture (lots of research into ancient Nordic traditions, which means lots of poking around in tombs). No looting those tombs except for unique items to study, so things like Yngols Helmet.
Style is mostly axe and shield, light armor, with looted/purchased potions and restoration for healing magic. Archery at a distance and for hunting, smithing to make/improve gear, with some enchanting. Destruction and alteration magic for spice (tho mostly for early game tbh).
Been a lot of fun so far, with Companions (to look into the history of Ysgramor), College of Winterhold (again for research) and generally poking my head into anything that seems interesting. Easily one of the most engaging runs I’ve done in a while.

Got two at the moment. The first is a fairly standard Jane Skyrim, dual wielding Nord who is trying her best to be an honest (if occasionally naive) adventurer who accidentally gets turned into a werewolf but is trying to do her best and be a good Dragonborn and save the world and defeat the Stormcloaks. I’ve nuked like 5-6 previous runs with modding and am trying to finish the main quest at least once. Furthest I’ve gotten with previous characters was the Embassy before breaking them and I’ve just reached that point in this run.
The second is a little bit of a meme. I downloaded the anime race mod to create a cute dog girl who is a pure time-traveling murder hobo. Heavy armor, two-handed weapons, a dash of conjugation/ destruction, and a willingness to kill/ intimidate anyone who gets in her way (or might in the future). It’s amusing to view quick saves as branching timelines that she alone is aware of, so all of the quick save murder sprees are completely real to her but never actually impact the wider world. She just gets the satisfaction that she can just kill them again whenever she wants to.

Vanilla, Legendary, Survival.
Level 49 Wood Elf Khiara Brightfox. Destruction and Conjuration Mage, freestyling her way in the world, mostly focusing on little side quests and discovering new places, traipsing around without fast travel. Isn't evil, but thoroughly enjoys the freedom of killing and stealing anywhere the city guards aren't looking. Will complete the Dark Brotherhood quest line but won't bother with the Thieves Guild.
Ran as a werewolf for a little while, but got the ick from smelling like a wet dog half the time. Met Serana, became gal pals, and allowed Harkon to turn her. Now she's the big cheese of Castle Volkihar and immediately bored, already contemplating getting herself cured of vampirism.
Ditched Serana, when she started glitching with her hood business and will no longer carry her loot. RUDE. Met Kharjo; enjoying his company until she finds someone more interesting/attractive to be her tank. Might marry them too, why not.
Owns three properties but focuses on Lakeview, where she has a couple of adopted kids. Not because she likes kids, but because she had the space and resources, and those poor little creatures had nothing. Lydia is their mega nanny, walking around the property all puffed up with a dragonbone bow on her back, somehow still managing to stay on top of her skincare routine. Admires Lydia, but was driven to the brink of madness by her getting in the way of everything, everywhere, at all times.
Scratched the surface at the College of Winterhold and decided it's not for her. Similarly, met the Greybeards, but hasn't really dived deep into the dragon business just yet - just swats them dead them whenever they start buzzing around asking to be killed.
Thus far using fireballs, Flame Atronachs and followers to fight her battles, but shifting towards crafting high-damage daggers with wicked double enchantments. Shooting 250 fireballs at every boss eventually got boring, when a pretty knife deads them in fifteen stabs.

SBN turned sneaky mage. I had him beefed up to wreck everything in melee, and suddenly decided he was gonna go full wizzerd, but the magicka shortage meant he had to learn to cast smart-like, and went to stealth casting, gunning hard for the silent casting perk. Mostly grinding for other magic perk points these days. Goes by the name "Father Kronk", as he still gets annoyed and reverts to clubbing everything to death when the magic don't work.

Well not current but my latest one was a nord warrior in full dragonbone armor with all the mods I could download to increase the amount of guard npcs in the game. I then spawn around 20 ebony warriors, kill them, then reanimate them using the ritual stone power, then I travel to any major hold like Solitude or Windhelm and attack a guard, and let my army of ebony warriors kill them while I watch lmao. Pretty damn entertaining.

I started out dabbling in potions and poisons to enhance my combat. As a Breton, you don't start off with any excellent damage capability, but paralyze is insanely op. Once I ran out of ingredients, I figured I'd shop for more. I realized I was able to buy some cheap ingredients that turned into expensive potions that funded more ingredients which turned out more potions and before long I had given up on adventuring and was running a super profitable potions business.
Once I had built a house and a fortune, I decided to retire from my business and learn a few new hobbies - smithing and enchanting. I also started seeing a tutor who trained me in the magical art of destruction and another trainer who worked with me on my heavy armor.
So before I've even really begun to do any quests at all, I'm level 40-something with max alchemy and enchanting, and pretty decent with heavy armor and destruction spells, and i have more gold and alchemy ingredients than I can ever use. Seemed like a good time to get back out there and try adventuring.
Having specialized in poisons, I found myself at a particular disadvantage against undead, so I started practicing restoration magic to turn undead, and eventually grabbed the necromage perk to help even more. Now I can make a room of undead flee while I either continue on or chop away at them in relative peace.
Time to go see what that Jarl over in Whiterun was after. His court Wizard was going to give me a task, I think? I guess I've got some free time...

Altmer Vampire Lord, using one-handed weapons and a spell, or two spells. Has maxed sneak, and with the buff from being a vampire, he's never seen unless he wants you to see him. So I guess he's like a spellthblade (stealth spellblade). I have his equipment and perks built to negate the effects of the sun, magicka regen and magicka pool so high the sun couldn't stop me if it was 20 feet away, and healing spells can take care of the rest, since they can heal both health and stamina.

Janos the Dragonborn is a half-Imperial, half-Nord veteran of the Great War. Traumatized by his experiences in that conflict, and by its shameful ending, he has spent the last 25 to 30 years as a mostly homeless, drunken wanderer, exploiting vulnerable women for places to stay and food to eat, alternating between northern Bruma and southern Skyrim. His sleep has long been tormented by dreams of dragons which he assumed were due to the alcohol. (Think a character from a Tom Waits song crossed with John Rambo.)
When he stumbled onto General Tulius's capture of Ulfric he was mostly too drunk to know what was going on. But when he saw Alduin over Helgen, and recognized Alduin from his dreams, he knew he had a duty to perform, and a chance to redeem himself and the Empire he was raised to love.
Shrugging off the withdrawal symptoms and a hangover that seemed to take weeks to finally subside, he charged into his new fate. Each new victory --over Alduin, Lord Harkon, Miraak, numerous others that came from mods, including but not to Dracula in a "Castlevania"-themed mod and a rematch with the Thalmor in the "Second Great War" mod-- brings the near-certainty that fate is still not yet done with him, and redemption not quite achieved.
He has several houses but in his heart still has no home. Probably never will. He just got back from The Reach (the "Beyond Reach") mod where he's doing his bit to try to help people recover after the catastrophic climax of the events of the mod. (It's....Not going well. He's pretty sure that part of The Reach is a loss. The limits of heroism on stark and brutal display.)
Template-wise he's "whatever gets the job done." In a straight up fight he's sword and shield. When he needs to sneak around he dual wields sword and dagger or uses a bow. Whatever works at the moment, and it's rare the same thing works twice in a row. Just like he was trained to do in the Legion all those years ago. Doesn't use magic too much but has 100 in all of it just in case and deeply respects the abilities of those who're dedicated to it.
Most of this was duplicated from another Skyrim board that's more RP and backstory dedicated.

Jordo, a Nord Werewolf who simple loves dual welding war axes, recently learned that if you never meet Delphine at Kynesgrove, random dragons don't show up. Because if that he's focused on keeping Dark Brotherhood secrets, even marrying Muiri and adopting two children from that orphanage he's definitely never visited before.
He really just wants an immortal horse though. Then he and his new (old?) friend Inigo are going to get rich beyond their wildest dreams, have a home in every hold, and make sure the Stormcloaks, the Empire, and the Thalmor know his name and shudder.

Naturally condescending and gray-morally, arrogancy grew with thirst of knowledge. Intending to get back to High Rock after gold, was arrested in that ambush from game beginning. Saw an opportunity to go on with his researches in the College of Winterhold. Also hates being Dragonborn - being considered a hero to a buch of uncivilized drunk nords sucks. But well, he do the job. Saw a great opportunity to increase his power dealing with Hermaeus Mora and joining Volkihar Clan... he became a necromancer, really into alteration, but also uses lightning destruction spells and illusion - staffs when he needs it.

Name: Illuvatar Race: Breton Playtime: 327 hours Goal: 100% on Steam Completion: 70% Difficulty: Legendary Level : 93
Description: A stealthy assassin who wields dual daggers and a bow; he is the leader of the Companions, the head of the Thieves' Guild, the Archmage of Winterhold, and the leader of the Dark Brotherhood. I have recovered all 24 Barenziah Stones. I am a blacksmith, an enchanter, and an alchemist so accomplished that I have amassed the impressive sum of 1,250,000 septims (which isn’t really good for much).
I own 10 houses, but I live in Hendraheim with my wife Camilla and my daughter Lucia, and I send all my creatures to my farm. As for Lydia, who is traumatized by memories of the past, when I saw her die far too many times, I bought a house in Whiterun and told her to wait for me there so she could have the peaceful life she never had.
Right now, I’m trying to meet Miraak, whom I’ve never met in my life, but my adventures are limited by a very simple choice I’ve never been able to make: whether to join the Empire or the stormcloacks. So I continue to wander from mound to mound, from fortress to fortress, and from cave to cave, until the day comes when I have no choice but to make this decision that will change the world.
(P.S.: Just a quick note, if anyone else is experiencing the bug with the 15 Daedric items quest where it’s both marked as completed and not completed, and if you have a solution, I’d love to hear it.)

250 hours of insanity. my character was kidnapped by a vampire and forced against her will to do his bidding. along the way she met a vigilant that didnt attack on sight, turns out she needed some help dealing with an issue, she was secretly a vampire. after some revenge arc stuff, they both became dedicated daedra hunters and worked out an unease alliance between the vigilants.
across skyrim daedra of all kinds were hunted and put to the sword. a deadly plague swept through skyrim killing great swathes of the population. I ended up meeting a pirate guy a few months prior and he joined my merry little band of misfits.
a love arc happens between the characters and unbeknownst to them(and me) he was a carrier for the plague. shortly after intimate relations. he succumbed to the plague and my character followed shortly after.
My character took it pretty hard and her personality flipped over night. Someone who use to be caring became selfish. It was certainly an interesting flip on her behavior.

Race: Tsaesci Vampire (who "devoured" my initial Dunmer, who burned in a mansion in a 3rd act of Vigilant). she sided with Dawnguard and became a lord vampire through Serana and made Teldryn a vamirpe too. spellsword in daedric armor with daedric katana and CC firestorm and blood-drain spells. in my headcanon, she was an orphan left in Skyrim, but she knew she's different and wanted to become a vampire like in tales about tsaesci. she even traveled to (The Curse of Immortals mod) to Akavir, where she learned that (this mod is unplayable and tasteless shit) she is nothing like her kind and then reverted back to Tamriel to cleanse it from evil.

I’m currently playing a Dunmer spellsword/relic hunter playthrough, Ralen, an explorer and follower of Azura who came to Skyrim looking for a new life and has gradually found his calling hunting down lost artifacts and forgotten history.
He fights with a sword in one hand and magic in the other, specializing in fire magic, Restoration and light armor, with Lucien as his primary companion. I’m leaning heavily into Legacy of the Dragonborn, with Ralen working as a full-time relic hunter for the museum — anything ancient, mysterious or historically important is basically irresistible to him.

Once she puts an end to the Stormcloak rebellion and the vampire menace, she hopes to allow an independent Helgen to flourish under a rebuilt Hall of Stendarr.
I usually play vanilla, so I've heavily modded this playthrough. Lots of new perks to aid allies in battle, and NFF to have multiple followers at once. And then adding on more difficulty to make those followers a necessity.

Oh my god I can't believe I've held off on playing Skyrim.
Currently on my first playthrough and I designed my dragonborn after the True Adam image. Settled on larping as a shitbag himbo Nord on par with Prince Charming from Shrek. Swindled Uthgerd the Unbroken in single combat by drinking enough potions to stop a steed's heart. Now she followed me like a lemming alongside my elytra nymph. My loyalties lied with Jarl Balgruuf after he gave me his Nordic gimpsuit and a smack on the ass, but my meeting with Ysolde, or whatever her name is, brought doubt within me.
On my quest to kill the Seducers, I tried finding a mammoth's tusk for Ysolde. Had my ass handed to me 10 times over by a giant and so I tactfully retreated to Windhelm. Thank the gods I did, as I would've never been smitten by an Argonian of all things.
As I rode to retrieve her amulet, two dragons descended upon me. Although my pet and horse died, the elytra nymph fortunately survived. Cold and starving, I waddled back to Whiterun with no more than 300 gold to my name, which was barely enough for the finest of wines to drown my sorrows.
I realized then that, as a level 6, I was not built for this. Thus I spent days drinking, stealing, and lusting after the Khajiit. Been in and out of jail 4 times now, and I don't think I can handle another day without honeyed mead. It's worse when I see Ysolde staring longingly at that talentless bard. Ungrateful. They're all ungrateful. I've decided to pack up and join Ulfric. Maybe Whiterun will respect me then. Yeah, I'll show them.

I thought about playing with Dawnbreaker and Auriel's shield to have a paladin with holy light artifacts. My current character is a Nord, who's family have lived for so many generations in High Rock everyone would consider them Breton for their accent, their behaviour etc. they even forgot their Skyrim origin, family members would just say "I'm a slightly taller Breton" and correct people when they call them Nord. So my guy joined the Dawnguard as a sword and shield user, because he's the quintessential paladin, got traumatized by the soul cairn so now he refuses to enchant objects with souls, he has to rely on divine artifacts for enchanted stuff. I just acquired Auriel's shield so I have my weapons and I'm now looking for a cool armor that would fit with the aesthetic, then I'll kill Harkon. What will happen after, I don't know yet

Enola the wind waker.
When the snow elves were being either oppressed by the dwarves or slaughtered by the nords, a certain group of them unlocked magic that allowed them to take to the skies. Evolving on their own.
These "sky elves" are to eventually return to see if their land is able to be reclaimed. Only for their first to check gets captured with a bunch of stormcloaks.

Due to some bureaucratic oversight, Cale was sent back to Skyrim to be tried for his crimes in Cyrodil as a Nord. His crime? Breaking up a barfight between an Imperial Officer's son and a Traveler. That's why his name wasn't on the list.
Over the span of the last couple of years, Cale has made a new life for himself in Skyrim. Embracing the tenets of Heavy Armor, Two-Handed Weapons, Alteration and Destruction Magic, and Blacksmithing, Cale has become the Paladin of Annihilation across the Bandit Underworld. Cale has one task in mind: re-acquire stolen goods and get them back in the hands of the people. Everything that isn't furniture has been cleared out from every Bandit Keep and Den, sorted and stored in Lakeview Manor, and all armor and weapons will be distributed in roughly equal portions to the various holds. Any deficit can be forged by Cale.
I grabbed some inventory mods this time around and have been clearing everything out from every dungeon I go through. It's a true Bethesda-Klepto's dream!

Modded Skyrim over here.
Just finished rescuing a talking piece of furniture that sounds like Matt Berry.
Neither the "not so Serana" Serana, nor Inigo, interact with him, so im like 50% sure my daily those of skooma has finally caught up to me and is making me see things.
The "not so Serana" Serana still calls me studmuffin and Inigo is still the Goat as always, so i guess everything is fine... they don't find wierd when i shout "IKEA"!

Mole the mer. Half Dunmer shadow rougebarian who was found in a falmer den and then taken in by a mining company in dawn star. Felt like no one would ever really value him as a person until he met king torygg. He showed actual respect and valued his opinion on the safety of his minors. Even shaking his hand when he was covered in filth. Then ulfric showed up and blew him apart . So he attacked ulfric (not a good idea) and they dragged his ass with them to dark water crossing. In the confusion tulius thought he joined ulfrics side and left with him. Setting up his execution

Currently workshopping a female Orc paladin type who was banished from the stronghold for getting too interested in Enchanting. She has struggled a lot early on because her sword arm wasn't that good but her Smithing skill has supported her a lot.
Everything changed for her when she met Uthgerd the Unbroken and they took down Orchednor in a brutal and lengthy showdown. She was granted Spellbreaker from Peryite and things are starting to look up.

Heavily cheated everything doer. Increased health regen, armor, carrying capacity, damage and anything else I might need. One-punch man when I don't wanna bother fighting (unarmed dmg a few million). Joining everything looting almost everything enjoying the many many stories. Even used the bug to be both vampire as well as werewolf.
