Anyone have any Skyrim Roleplays I could do? I'm open to anything that isn't brutal hard.

There's always the basic stuff. Must sleep and eat, where you force yourself to find a place to sleep and get a meal every so often. There's no fast travel. No magic, where you play a non-magical person, or non-Dragonborn. There's making yourself a guard in your favorite town, where you just spend your time working on quests for that Jarl. On the hard side, there's "dead is dead" where if you get killed, you start from scratch.

I'm currently doing sleep every night and no fast travel. Also no carriage rides unless I have already been there and only very rarely. It's fun and really shows how long some quests can take. I think the Sanguine Rose quest took me at least a week in game to complete.

Choose a hometown for your character. Pick a location you know well from your previous games, and decide what your new character's career will be, focusing on quests relating to that location. Maybe you're an apprentice to a local blacksmith or alchemist, maybe you're related to a certain NPC and want to help the family business and make your parents proud. Maybe you're a temple acolyte to a local priest and want to learn magic to aid the villagers. Maybe you're childhood sweethearts with a certain NPC and you want to eventually marry that person so you're doing quests to prove your worth or make enough money to own a house together.

Sounds like what I did with my current character. She's a Bosmer hunter who lives in the cabin outside of Riverwood. She supplies skins and meats to Riverwood and Whiterun :)

Thanks for the tips guys! I have started the adventures of Breadgaurd, the Breton-Redguard travelling Alchemist. She has no name, and eats bread every day.

Oh, I did the traveling alchemist once! You'll make tons of gold really really fast :D

Sounds like my one redguard character. She live her life in Hunters Cabin near Rivenwood (you may know that mod). She honed her skills by hunting, selling, smithing light armours and making potions. She did not make any quest before she was level 52.

I didn't know about the hunters cabin but I'm installing it as soon as I get home! :D I was just using Anise's cabin but it was always annoying to try and give my follower something just for him to yell at me that I'm not supposed to be in there.

I like taking this approach. It's especially interesting and somewhat more challenging to make the hometown one of the non-major locations. I did a random draw type thing once and ended up with a Bosmer living in Kynesgrove.

If you have access to mods, make a civil war soldier squad. Get two or three followers, outfit them with Stormcloak or Imperial gear. Use light Imperial for two of them, medium Imperial for a third, and heavy Imperial for the PC to represent rank structure. For Stormcloak units, use the Stormcloak helmet for two, a scale helmet for the third, and of course the officer gear for the PC. Then go out and ignore everything except for hunting down and killing the other side.

^ I have something similar to that going on now. I don't use followers, but thanks to my various encounter mods I run into Stormcloaks vs. Imperials or Stormcloaks vs. Thalmor battles literally every five minutes. For the past few game days I've just been running around killing Imperials and Thalmor, and assisting my fellow Stormcloaks.* It's way more fun than it probably should be. :D
I would continue the CW questline, but it's sort of stuck on the getting to Markarth part of "Compelling Tribute".

One of the most interesting and fun RP things I've done is constantly wearing the Cursed Ring of Hircine (after becoming a werewolf, ofc). Come to think of it, I should really re-do that, now that I have access to mods and can become a werewolf by simply getting hit (or "bitten") by one.
If you're on console or don't want to use mods, you could start the RP bit only after acquiring both lycanthropy and the ring, ignoring the time that it takes to get those two.

*There's also the occasional dragon... but they're just distractions.
 
I would suggest using mods like frostfall and ineed... But if you are a ps3 player then it all depends on how you want to go at it.

if you want stealth i would rp a shadowscale argonian... If you want a hardcore warrior then play an orc or a nord... It all depends on the character you create... You could even have an orcish mage or a high elf barbarian

I myself saw this thread and thought it might help. I hope to make a hybrid of two builds from the Skyrimblog: The Ash Knight and the lamp knight.

Did not mean to hijack this thread OP. Just need some ideas.

One I've played with in the past and I have decided to tweak the rules and redo is the ex-vampire's Thrall. Basically, she spent years following her vampire around until he died and set her mind free, and as a result she is now completely terrified of people. So she won't talk to people unless they talk to her first, she won't go in walled cities, and she'll only approach unwalled cities if she is on the verge of starving or freezing to death (mods).

It's a fascinating approach. Suddenly loot is not worth picking up to sell because selling it involves entering a city and talking to someone. No cities means she has to keep carting around crafting materials until she finds a dungeon with crafting facilities. The only spells she knows are ones she finds in loot chests. She ends up raiding bandit camps purely because she's out of food. And she only does quests which don't start by her choosing to talk to people (which is basically ones in which people talk to her such as Meridia or Illia or ones which start by reading books).

This time around, I'm going to have her agreeing to help the Jarl of Falkreath just to see how hard it is building a Hearthfire homestead when you aren't allowed to buy any iron or corundrum.

You could be a khajit pack member limiting yourself to travelling only when the pack travels and sets camp, then go out hunting 4 loot dungeon crawling, sell ur stuff to khajit merchant, drink skooma and get high on moon sugar. Lol . Never really thought deeply into skyrim roleplaying myself, my orc enjoyed the cursed tribe quest and fellow orc camps. Id also like to do an argonian blade and put derkeethus in blade armour, just some ideas.

I've got kind of a neat one (I'm doing it right now.)

An Imperial named Victor Zsasz (bald, the three vertical scars on his forehead.)

Yes, he's Gotham's Payphone Killer - but shortly after the events of Arkham City, he found one of Ra's Al-Ghul's Lazarus Pits (he didn't close all of them) and tried to use it.

He did some things in the wrong order, and rather than making him immortal, it made him sane and sent him to the Stormcloaks trying to cross the border with Ulfric...

He's basically a stealth-based spellsword (who uses a dagger), but his bow is a fairly dangerous tool, also.

For mine I did a semi-built High elf woman who tried crossing into Skyrim after her husband dying due to the Oblivion Crisis (because of this she doesn't re-marry) She was a soldier and when told of Skyrims troubles by Hadvar she strongly feels its right to join the Imperial Legion but with every person she kills she loses pieces of herself. After the war is won you can either quit there and say she died in the snow wandering aimlessly, or you can pose as a mercenary going around continuing to do quests or due to the war being over join another faction and say its because you dont feel the need to save anyone anymore, cause she couldnt save the one person who mattered most.

How do you backstab a Dragon?
Try an Argonian serial killer living in any sewer or cave. Stalk at night and take your victims. Personally I like to take out guards since their out at night.

You can get rich quick, but the problem is it's all stuff and you don't sell any of it.

You could also do Master Necromancer using the Aetherium Crown (with the Ritual Stone on it) and have any other standing stone as your primary. I did this with Necromantic Healing and I amassed a full fledged army bristling with Soldiers from both sides of the war.
