    Looking for ideas in replay (beat the game yesterday) - spoilers

    Ideas for RP Alcohol Effects

    You walk into an inn after a tough day of adventuring, and you belly up to the bar for some mead, ale, and/or wine. You order literally every drink on the menu. You down them all. Nothing happens, except your stamina regeneration is sunk, which doesn't matter because you have a full stamina...

    Player rules

    I use a lot ot the same rules that most people have already posted (eating, sleeping, no fast travel, etc), but here are my "unique" rules. 1) Must consume a resist cold potion before entering any water. 2) If a meal is missed, must consume a health potion. 3) If sleep is skipped, must consume...

    Random Character Creation System (Long)

    I don't have a decision roll chart to share, but I make up custom ones during my playthrough. It started on one of my characters who decided to work for a Jarl, and I made up six things the Jarl wanted him to do, then rolled a dice to determine the Jarl's "order." Nowadays, I use a dice roll...

    From Skyrim to Oblivion: Roleplayer's Paradise

    Skyrim was my first ever RPG, and I sank a good 1500 hours into it since buying it a month after release. I like to slow play my characters, doing a ton of roleplay and generally avoiding the main quest. After becoming obsessed with Elder Scrolls lore, I recently decided to try Oblivion for...

    Random Character Creation System (Long)

    Thanks for trying this out. I encourage you to also generate a fear, a hobby/interest and a motive using the choices listed in the page-1 replies to this thread. Good luck. I hope this ends up being a memorable character for you and 50+ hours of play time.

    Random Character Creation System (Long)

    Ah, but this is where using imagination to rewrite the game can kick in. I know ignoring certain events and dialogue in the game can be hard, but this is how I'd play it if I were writing a journal or fanfic: the shopkeeper tells you the Imperial Soldier's name. Your character heads to...

    Random Character Creation System (Long)

    Great system. I use decision-making systems like this all of the time in my RP playthroughs. On my family heirloom playthroughs, I never check the shops, I make it a condition that the item must be found in a chest or given as a quest reward. One thing you could do, if you track down the...

    Random Character Creation System (Long)

    Another great one. All of the users of this system seem to have a great mind for backstories. I love the "family heirloom" motive. My current character (created with this system, of course) is a Redguard named Daron Blackheart who is searching for his family's legendary sword Sinweaver...

    Random Character Creation System (Long)

    Looks like a fun playthrough. I love how you used the envy angle with Talen-Jei. Also, thanks for linking to the 12-sided die. I should definitely edit my original post to include links to various online dice apps and RNGs to help people who use this system. With regard to expansion, my...

    Why I struggle to play any other character then the one I am …

    I can totally relate to this. I avoid Daedric quests entirely, and the only character I joined the Dark Brotherhood with dropped out after a few kills because I felt guilty about it. I know it's just a game, but I have a hard time killing unless it's self-defense. Even my first thief...

    Random Character Creation System (Long)

    I've been thinking about a secondary list of motives or occupations that get away from the more typical scenarios. I'll definitely add "spy" to that list. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Random Character Creation System (Long)

    You're right about the dice creating a bias toward 7 and 8 and other combinations over time, but i myself have rolled twelves, elevens, and twos when testing this out. In my original post, I recommended a random number generator or a dice app for a smart phone that has RPG dice (like a 12-sided...

    Challenge: Live in a Town/City for 30 In-Game Days

    Hardcore roleplayer? Let's see how you deal with THIS: Live in a town, village, or city in Skyrim for 30 days (without abusing the wait or sleep functions). I highly recommend choosing a random location to do this, as opposed to Whiterun or Riverwood. General Rules: You may only sleep 8...

    Xbox 360 No New DLC? Make Your Own Next Adventure (Rant)

    The recent news about Bethesda moving on to their next project and not releasing any more DLC for Skyrim has been met with a lot of shock and disappointment. While PC players have hundreds of decent mods to play with, those of us on console are stuck with what has already been released. While...
