Kohlar the Unkilled

Time for some ale
I can somewhat relate to Wildroses, as I imagine she feels a bit bad for hurting or killing innocents, just as it would be in real life. Of course, it's a game, but this game is set up in a way that creates the illusion that these animations actually have lives that they live out, independently of the Dragonborn's actions. That the way I see it anyway.

Because of this, my "evil" character was never quite as evil as I originally intended, (even though in his world most towns are now populated only by children!).

I kind of feel obliged to like the Thalmor, as I mainly play as a High Elf...
Well, the armour is cool, right? :D:D

Its good to meet another high elf player[emoji3]

Thalmor armour? Do you mean the robes, if so I gotta agree it looks pretty bad-ass. The one thing that felt kinda weird in Skyrim is the lack of a joinable
Thalmor or Aldmeri Dominion faction
It would've been awesome that instead of choosing the Imperials or the Stormcloaks for the civil war you could of joined the Thalmor. The missions may be to "convince" talos worshippers to stop believing in talos or to hunt down the blades.

My heart swells in the Night Mother's love the moment my victim takes his/her last breath.... The Dark Brotherhood is my life.

Don't like the Thieves guild (Oblivion or Skyrim)

Companions are just poorly paid thugs that ramble about honor, which I find very little honor in beating up a store owner. Makes me sick. (Skyrim)

Fighters Guild are about the same as the Companions more or less.

To be honest there are no factions in Skyrim I like too much. But the College of Winterhold faction is my least-not-liked-one so I guess that counts too.

I've only played Skyrim so I don't 'bout the rest, but in Skyrim definitely DB. All characters except Cicero and Festus are great and the questline is pretty epic.

The thieves guild would be cool too but they're just a low-class mob with uncountable internal issues who blame a curse for they're lact of success.

I like Cicero because he's truly all about the Dark Brotherhood and the Night Mother but his personality is a bit out there---all there...
I love the voice actors throughout each guild, I am not that big of a fan of the Companions or the Blades in Skyrim though I do like the Thieves Guild after they start to like me. It gets annoying being talked down to like a dog from characters who are essential, I mean I just killed how many dragons? Sometimes I tackle Thieves Guild right after the main storyline so I just saved the world AND the afterlife from Alduin the World-Eater! Sometimes I tackle it after the civil war as well! I just defeated Ulfric/Tullius! I have EARNED at least a LITTLE bit of respect. I mean how does a thief stand up to something like a dragon or an entire bandit army? Perhaps even the army of vampires or the Dawnguard? Not at all.

-It would be good if you could create your own faction, for example mercenaries, bounty hunters, or hunters in general, and be the undisputed leader of that faction. You'd have to buy some land and build a HQ, as well as horses and other transportation. You could call upon the other members of the faction to assist you in battles. I know this sounds a bit Assassin's Creed-y, but it would be so cool if implemented into vanilla Skyrim - so many possibilities. :D

-It would also be cool if you could join some of the un-joinable factions, but the catch would be that they are race-specific, some examples would be the Shadowscales (Argonian), Thalmor (High Elf), Forsworn (Breton), Alik'r (Redguard) and Skaal (Nord). :)

Personally, I would create an Argonian just to revive/be a part of the Shadowscales. ;)

How do you backstab a Dragon?
Anyway what's your favourite faction and why?[emoji3]

One I can't join...the Vigil of Stendarr. I have no idea why they didn't develop that into a full playable faction with its own quests. :sadface:

Because they don't want wakkadoodles that enjoy playing religious zealots playing Skyrim?

Who are those?

There the none playable faction that hates daedra and daedra worship they're sort of like a weaker version of the Dawnguard but they specialise in daedra,from what I can remember they worship the aedra sender. If you have the dawnguard they attempted to combat vampires which lead to their downfall with the whole of the hall of the vigilant(their headquarters ) being burnt down.
