I confess, I am a Skyrim tweaker (aka insane RP immersionist). These are my sins:
I once wheeled a cart around a farm, picking cabbages and potatoes at a very slow pace for two hours to "realistically roleplay a farmer."
I devised a fishing system that required insect parts to be thrown into bodies of water before certain fish could be caught.
I forced a warrior character to "exercise" before each quest by chopping wood, running in place on a sawmill water wheel, and practicing sword play for eight in-game hours on a practice dummy.
I created (and strictly adhered to) a semester schedule for the College of Winterhold
I've created a multitude of dice systems and random-number-generator systems to simulate dialogue and to control in-game decision making
I've created intricate systems for which items can be sold in certain holds.
I've created custom questlines for various character archetypes, even though no one asked for them.
I've simulated going to the bathroom by sneaking over a bucket and using a healing spell to deplete a Magicka bar.
I created a ridiculous rule of spamming a forge with a flames spell and hitting an anvil with a pickaxe 10 times before I can smith an item
I've created custom food recipes (like "Horker meat with a snowberry jelly reduction sauce and sautéed giant lichens") to satiate my "foodie" characters
I've created bizarre divine worship rituals that somehow involve skooma, sleeping tree sap, or snorting void salts
I've forced my characters to shower under waterfalls.
HELP ME. (More importantly, save me from the "power build" gamers who are constantly comparing perks and telling me I'm a loser.)
Do you have any RP confessions to make? I can't be alone.
