Your character's personality.

I tend to run about Skyrim, gifting friendly NPCs with decent weapons and armor. Easy now, but when I was on PS3 I spent a lot of time trying to reverse pickpocket decent things onto them.

I don't know what platform you play on, but I put a chair into Lydia's room and she's stayed out of mine since.

Now where am I going to get a chair that I can pick up on a PS3. Hmmm... Her crunching keeps me awake at night!

For every follower I have ever adventured with, I observe how they operate and research their various skill levels and craft a fully improved and custom enchanted set of armor and at least 2 weapons based on their personal tendencies and style. Whether they've tagged along with me once or a bunch of times, it doesn't matter.

It's cool when I come upon one of them randomly out in the world and they are hunting or adventuring wearing the armor and using the weapons I made for them.

I also carry an decent spare set of armor, a good spare weapon, an extra food item and a beverage so I can hook up any prisoners I encounter and set free out in the countryside.

My, aren't we altruistic. You must be playing good guys.

My khajiit Mr. Buttons is a more or less a good guy,definately is good at heart for the most part,he steals as a mean of work when he cant find high paying quests,and had joined the darkbrotherhood because he couldnt resist of such a high pay for murdering people,yet he rarely kills random people,he lives a normal life im his breezehome,with his two children and a pet dog and fox,he wants to be good at everything he does not just one thing so hes working on mastering all his skills but when in doubt his trusty "glass badass battleaxe" gets the job done,and always has his friend lucien with him,not sure on what kind of person he is he makes bad and good descisions,only time can tell how Mr. Buttons will turn out.

Crayus the Wolf - Archer/Bladesman/assasian/thief. He is a Redguard albino, and Werewolf. Loves to collect flawless jewels and books. Hates the empire and vampires with a passion. Dislikes authority, but respects Nordic lineage and history. Serves With is but doesn't like the brotherhood or it's current ethods. Former member of the circle, but left after a dissagrement with kodlack. Current guild master of the thieves guild.

My Dunmer Swordsman has a weird habit of killing bunnies wherever he is, and tells his children to go do chores, and immediately command them outside and play, he's a nutcase like that

My Nord, Marek, will only ever sleep in a chair or sitting up with his back against something. Its a by-product of being super cautious to the point of paranoya .

And he absolutley hates magic, magicians, and Thalmor as a result of watching the thalmor kill his parents with it and then being tortured by thalmor agents with the use of magic later on. If he comes across a fort controlled by hostile mages he will spend days scouting it out before silently killing every one of them with extreme prejudice. If he meets a mage somewhere where it would cause him more trouble than its worth to kill them then he is just really cold to them and doesnt deal with them if he can avoid it. He won't allow anyone to place any spells on him either, even if i were to save him from dying. He would rather be killed than have magic worked on him.

My mage always takes her hood off when entering a city, I just feel like i'm so hidden with it on. And I'll always reload if Meeko gets killed. (Which is a lot becuase the damn dog always gets in the way of firebolt -.-)

My breton likes to sniff people. I think he's more werewolf than he likes to admit, but there is more to it than most people think. (Kudos to anyone who gets this reference.)

My Snow elf loves to internally discuss all the ways he'd strangle different nords who are racist towards him, with himself. He's rather creative in destroying bandits via those methods. He also cannot stand BEARS.

Can you reduce your sig, please? It needs to half the size that it is currently, or even less.

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 winds up standing in one place for hours waiting for the shapeshift to wear off. He spurns Unrelenting Force for Fire Breath, because if he wants something smashed, he'll do it himself, but it's always nice to be able to roast your enemies alive where they stand.

My redguard assassin Elena the Pantheress only likes to wear clothing or armor that was made from something that she killed (bear, wolf, sabre, dragon, Sinding) and even though she's an assassin/thief, she only kills the corrupt and gives to the needy.

Yeah, my PC character tries to be good. My original PS3 Skyrim character was a total bastard.

Sucks though when you free a prisoner and give him something cool and the damn ingrate runs off still wearing ragged trousers and nothing else.

Overly confident. WOOF WOOF!

I'm playing a character who is utterly terrified of being captured by the Thalmor. It's been pretty interesting.

If she sees a Thalmor patrol on the road, she turns around and runs the other way for about five minutes. She lives in Whiterun as she believes the Thalmor can't get in there because if they could Heimskr wouldn't spend all day every day screaming about Talos at the top of his lungs. She never takes Lydia on adventures as it is her job to protect the house and children from the Thalmor when she isn't there. She is not at all surprised that all these random people she meets in Skyrim want to kill her as the Thalmor have many agents. She frequently travels at night to help slip past the Thalmor spies keeping an eye on her movements.

She won't go anywhere near Shearpoint because she got a letter from a nameless friend saying there was power there and it is an obvious Thalmor trap. She got letters about the museum in Dawnstar and Calcemo's Dwemer research and vowed never to visit either as they are subtle Thalmor traps. She won't go anywhere near Falkreath because she got a letter from the Jarl there and thinks he's in league with the Thalmor because why else would he be writing? It took her a week and 500 gold for a mercenary before she nerved herself to meet the person who took the horn because she totally thought it was a Thalmor trap.

She managed to overcome her fear to help rescue Thorald from the situation she is terrified of being in. She also decided to infiltrate the Thalmor embassy as she'd been hoping she might find information about her own missing family (she didn't), and because she felt that every guard she kills is one who can't hunt her down and capture her, and every item she took was a big bag of septims that can't be spent on an assassination contract.

I thoroughly recommend roleplaying someone with extreme fear or paranoia. Suddenly everything is for a reason instead of random, and there can be interesting consequences about being unable to do something.

Redguard Warrior . Only one guideline for this warrior , he never starts a fight when venturing out in the world , but WOE be to any who Smite him first .

My female Nord has gotten so she enjoys running/walking to her destination's. She'll clean up what loot she can from within ruins, caves or camps, stripping the bodies of those she defeats. After all, the dead have no use for what they have on them.

If attacked on the road, after stripping the bodies, she dumps them off the side of the road, in the river or off of a cliff. She loves positioning herself when facing the Thalmor so when she Shouts, it sends them over a cliff, or down a hill. Then she'll release the prisoner, and give him weapons, armor and send him on his way after killing his captors.

She gives to the poor, but not to the drunkards, and often will sell items below price just to help the vendor. She doesn't tolerate bandit's or thieves and enjoys making quick work of them. She loves sending them flying with her Shout as she releases her Dremora Lords on them.

She loves Serana so much it pains her deep within, yet she knows it's not to be. She runs alone, silently down paths, roads, listening to the silence, missing the familiar crackling sound that let's her know Serana is nearby.

Crude, simple and gruff - but once you win the guy over he's fiercely loyal

I had a character once who used to steal/take every pick axe and wood cutters axe she came across and hoard them in her house.

Another one used to push carts into the nearest body of water, just for laughs.

And my current character, an assassin, is obsessed with collecting peoples clothes. Not armour, just clothes...and shoes. She takes them home and tries them on and then hangs them in her wardrobe.
