Skyrim Forums

Call it a guide, call it a rant.


This is not about role playing your in-game character. This is in reference to the story Roleplay area of these forums.
But this is my opinion on what makes a good role play and how I play/write my character.

Relax... and be patient.
All the stories here will suffer from one of these maladies.
They can and will survive. Stalling of story, lack of participation, conflicting schedules, differences of skill and experience. Emotional writers, detailed writers, one liners, "I was with everyone and answer everyone". Just realize its all just for fun and your enjoyment and relax....

Hey everyone, this is my first article, so I'm open to any criticism that you readers may have.

Now, as a new player to Skyrim, the vast world can look a little daunting. The biggest problem that you could have is wandering into places that are out of your skill range and not knowing what to do. Hopefully after reading this you will be a little more prepared.

The Nordic burial grounds can be troublesome for many players. The main enemies that you fight (Draugr) can come from all around you, and swarm before you have time to think. These places are also full of traps that can leave you damaged, and can carry a wide variety...

My affair with Skyrim started 5 months ago when my cousin, Adam, suggested I get it for myself as a birthday present. I've always been a big fan of fantasy based books, movies, and even some games, but I had never spent more than an hour playing one. About 2 years ago I started reading "The legend of Drizzt" series by R.A. Salvatore, therefore sparking my obsession with the fantasy world. Up until then I had never really gotten into it. I played a little "Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance" for a week when I was in 8th grade visiting my sister. Aside from that, defeating Bowser in Super Mario Brother's was my biggest gaming achievement! Adam knew all too well how dear I hold Drizzt and Guenhwyvar to my heart so he told me, "You would practically be able to play your books." I was immediately sold! I needed that game and didn't waste time in getting a hold of it! Little did I know this game would unleash a part of me I otherwise wouldn't have known existed.

There are many reasons...
