    Characters Nickname/Alias

    My redguard berserker Shian is known as Redwind by her Stormcloak comrades. She sweeps across the battlefield like a gale leaving crimson in her wake.

    Worst quest/quest line?

    Ding Ding Ding. When I'm in Blackreach, my number one priority is getting out of Blackreach.

    Seems we're slowing down...

    I play in spurts. It's really fairly cyclical. I let new mods queue up for a couple of months, then I play Skyrim for a couple of weeks. And so on. I'm constantly revisiting the game as the modding community creates new and interesting ways for me to experience the game. And when I play, I post...

    Anybody else disappointed with Skyrim DLC?

    If you use The Shivering Isles as your metric then there's realistically no DLC that will please you. The Shivering Isles was less of a DLC and more of an expansion pack. It was enormous, huge. Something of an early masterpiece. In some ways it's from another era in game design. Down-loaded...

    Who is the Best Skyrim Spouse?

    Commodus has it right on the money. Even with Hearthfire the marriage system is pretty shallow. The only difference is the appearance of your spouse. The "spouse" dialog is shared amongst the various voice actors. The wedding ceremony is amusing as in you can try and see who'll show up at the...

    What do you like to collect?

    I travel light these days. I don't buy houses anymore. I don't collect nonsense items. If I can't make a potion out of it, forge a weapon with it, patch up armor with it or pawn it off in one trip to the market, I usually leave it where I found it. I hand old weapons and armor off to followers...

    If the Dark Brotherhood is so elite...

    I thought the whole point of their storyline was that they we no longer elite. That they had lost their traditions, been led astray by Astrid and were little more than a band of murdering thugs. So that's why.

    Stuff that never gets old

    Busting Nazeem's nose when he starts running his mouth about the cloud district.

    What would an Argonian's diet consist of?

    That's definitely not the impression I get of the Argonians. Most Argonians you come across are reserved, soft spoken and gentle people. Not just in Skyrim, but in Oblivion and Morrowind as well. It's a pretty consistent portrayal of a people who are often persecuted for no real reason other...

    "I can not best you!"

    Where's the artistry, I ask you. Where's the love for your craft.

    "I can not best you!"

    It's hard to say if Shian is "good", or not. She's pretty blood-thirsty! She provokes Imperials and Thalmor into a battle where ever she finds them. The Empire would consider her lawless, but the truth is she makes her own laws. She has a series of simple codes that govern her actions. She...

    "I can not best you!"

    There's a few "true yield" mods out there. I believe there's even one that turns the surrendering thug into a rudimentary follower. I just don't use them because I like killing people and taking their stuff. But I'm playing under a philosophy here! They can find the courage to die on their...

    "I can not best you!"

    So. You're in a dank cave, bringing glorious battle to a nest of thieves and ne'er-do-wells. Sending heads clattering across the floor. Generally living up to your legend as the best to have ever lived. You raise your blood quenched blade above your head to finish off some lowly cut-purse when...

    What would an Argonian's diet consist of?

    He's not completely off the mark. Former slaves of the dunmer, forced to work the fertile farmlands of mainland Morrowind, would bring with them dunmer culinary and agricultural practices when they reintegrated into Blackmarsh societies. Compound this with the argonian conquest of Morrowind in...

    If You Could Marry Anyone In Skyrim, Who'd It Be?

    My redguard berserker, Shian would totally marry Ulfric. She's in Skyrim for a few reasons. Firstly, She's a warrior and there's war to be had in Skyrim. Secondly, she feels a kinship with the nords. Though the Redguards of Hammerfel and the The Nords of Skyrim have warred in the past, they...

    What would an Argonian's diet consist of?

    Considering that the Argonians are more than semi-aquatic. And that the Argonians that we're familiar with are generally from tribes along the coasts, not in the nigh-impenetrable jungle interior of Blackmarsh where more exotic and dangerous sub-species of Argonian reside. So I'm going to go...

    What is your favorite Skyrim (in-game) book?

    "A Dance in Fire" is my favorite. It's an intriguing story, and a fantastic glimpse into the mysterious land of Valenwood. I also like "Physicalities of Werewolves". Because the idea of vivisecting a person to observe the effects of the transformation on the internal structures of the body is...

    What was your most satisfying kill?

    I was shooting up at Mercer Frey, crouched and sneaking at the bottom of the statue. Just as he went invisible again my arrow caught him right in the gob and sent him rag-dolling off the statue dead.

    What is your character's attire

    I can't remember the last time I wore some of the vanilla armor pieces! Right now my Redguard berserker is wearing the Hedge Mage armor. Which is a very light armor set indeed. But it looks great! I hide the helmet, though. She just wouldn't look right without her crazy dreadlocks hanging out...

    Nord male/Argonian female, who would the boss in that relatonship?

    The nord needs to mentally prepare himself for the fact that argonians regularly change gender through out their lives. His wife will one day wake up as his husband.
