    Favourite race in Skyrim?

    I've played Nord, Orc, Breton, Dunmer, and Imperial and I gotta say that the Dunmer are my favorite. They've got the most interesting lore, in my opinion. There's never anything bland about the dark elves.

    Is Roggvir Innocent?

    Rogvir never denies doing it. He uses his last words to defend Ulfric. He's not being used as a scapegoat. And even if it used to be okay to duel the king to the death in ancient Nord society, it is definitely not okay under modern Imperial law. And as Skyrim is officially an Imperial province...

    Aww man... this guy RUINED the Thieves Guild for me....

    I thought thieving was about stealing stuff.

    What is your players name and what does it mean?

    My Orc's name was Torak, after the maimed God of Angarak from the Belgariad book series. It seemed like a harsh enough name for an Orc, plus Torak was known for two things: being kinda fugly (like most Orcs) and having a Dragon as his totem. And also being evil, but you can't have everything...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    Mjoll is cool, but don't forget that her great crusade against the Thieves Guild is so ineffective that the members completely ignore her presence and operate basically out in the open. Aela is at least effective when she's trying to wipe out a faction, as the Silver Hand learned.

    Favourite Unique Shield?

    Shield of Ysgrammor. More Magic Resistance is almost always useful.

    What Race did you start the game with?

    DA2 is a fine game. It's not a perfect game; it was rushed and shows it, but it's not a bad game. It also introduces the new art style that Bioware has adopted for the DA series and is continuing into DA:I. And it showcases the catalyst for the Mage-Templar war. But it's not a very good...

    Spoiler Daedric Princes and the afterlife

    Dude. Punctuation. Please. I'm begging you. That aside, someone noted above that it's possible that Sovngarde wouldn't accept a werewolf. This is sort of addressed in the game itself. In his journal, Kodlak details a dream he has of the Circle's curse and it involves Tsun denying entrance to...

    Difficulty

    I pretty much just keep it on Adept. It's the perfect difficulty for low-level characters, and still provides a small challenge at higher levels unless you've taken full advantage of the Smithing/Enchanting gamebreaker that basically makes you Iron Man. If I've done that, then I'm not really...

    Doom Driven Hero

    Not entirely sure that's true -the breast thing, that is. A number of scholars claim that the Amazons from Greek legend did this so as to better shoot bows or throw javelins or somesuch, but Amazons were popular images for Greek art and their depictions don't bear this out. Probably the result...

    Enchantment paradox

    Probably because it's a lot easier to decide how a charge is reduced on weapon enchants. Successful attack = spent charge. No matter what weapon or enchantment, the trigger is the same. On armor, it's less clear. How would you decide what common action reduces the enchantment charge on an armor...

    Enchantment paradox

    Because imagine how annoying it would be if your Waterbreathing helmet had to be recharged after a certain number of breaths, or if your Fortify Carry Weight boots lost some charge every time you pick something up or took a step. Seems like a pretty clear case of Gameplay considerations topping...

    Doom Driven Hero

    Doom doesn't always mean death or destruction. It is also used to refer to fate. One's doom may not be one's end, but it is nonetheless inescapable. The Dragonborn is surrounded by both death and destruction as well as fate and prophecy. Wherever she walks, people die, things burn, the...

    Orc Smith/ Warrior

    My first main character Torak was an Orc. They have the best racial ability period (only rivaled by the High Elf passive for mages), great starting stats for warriors (heavy armor, two handed, one handed, block, smithing, enchanting), and easy early-game access to one of the only ebony mines in...

    Your Least Favorite Person in All Skyrim

    Heimskr has sort of grown on me over time. Honestly, Whiterun just wouldn't seem like Whiterun without his shouty rants ringing through the Wind District. In Whiterun, Nazeem probably takes my most-hated spot. I really dislike condescending people.

    Your Least Favorite Person in All Skyrim

    Yeah, I think that Grelod doesn't inspire the sort of hatred that other characters do because she has basically no interaction with the Dragonborn unless you're killing her. All of her bad behavior is vented on the orphans. At worst, she snarls at you to get lost. Plus, it's hard to hate a...

    Your Least Favorite Person in All Skyrim

    Delphine is a bitch. She's got good reasons to be a bitch, and I can sympathize with her plight, but that doesn't make her any less an unlikable bitch. And never underestimate the ability for gamers to take offense to being given ultimatums by obsolete nobodies during the course of saving the...

    Sex Negativity

    A point of order: the assumption that all of these mods are the work of males is false. I have run across quite a number of 'skimpy armor' mods and such that were the work of women (or at least of user profiles that identify as women; gender is such a murky subject on the internet). Oh, sure, I...

    Your character's personality.

    Torak, my Orc warrior, always wears armor in complete sets, with matching weapon and shield if applicable, all of which he personally crafted and enchanted. He spends far too much time in werewolf form because he can't resist snacking on the infinite bandit hordes infesting Skyrim, so he always...

    Wood Elves=Bretons?

    I don't see the relation between the two. Yes, the Bosmer tend toward the more physical and earthy side of the spectrum along with the Orsimer, but that's really just an adaptation to their environment, where the phenomenal cosmic power so revered by the Altmer or Dunmer takes a bit of a back...
