Skyrim // What Kind of Dovakhiin Are You?

OMFG A SKYRIM THREAD *squeals!* *faints* *gets back up again* *brushes self off* *ahem...*

I made 3 characters:

Theodorrah: Wood Elf
She is the Archmage of the College of Winterhold.
Also the Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild (just because).... its kinda a must, when you've built two homes with the Hearthfire DLC!
Married to Quintus Navale, Alchemist from the White Phial in Windhelm.
I like to think her Uncle is Faendal in Riverwood and thats how she ended up in Skyrim, to go visit him, and she was just at the wrong place at the wrong time....
She uses Destruction magic, predominantly Fire-related spells. But a mixture of everything in a pinch.
J'zargo is her follower - he is bad***. I love him to DEATH. I named my CATS J'zargo and M'aiq the Liar! But now she has Serana to do Dawnguard, but only for now.
She sided with the Imperials. She understood Alvor's perspective that dividing Skyrim under the Stormcloak Rebellion would only strengthen the Thalmor. I like to think Theodorrah's parents were rebels back in Valenwood against the Thalmor, and were killed while she was at the College in Skyrim.... she was thirsty for Thalmor blood, but she know unity was the way to take them down. She had no reason to go back to Valenwood. So she settled in Skyrim, Married Quintus and adopted a daughter. The girl that wanders Whiterun.

My Khajiit: Khali'fat
Her "backstory" is that she came with the Khajiit caravans. Ri'saad is her father. Her mother died when she was young, for "unknown reasons" that her father never explained to her. They got in a fight, and while Ri'saad was checking up on another caravan at a rendezvous point, she had an argument with him over it, and she fled, came across the Imperials and was arrested with Ulfric and taken to Helgen. She joined the Stormcloaks because she saw what the Thalmor were doing to Elsweyr and se would hate to see the rest of Skyrim destroyed. She also hated the Imperials for chaining her. She fled to Windhelm, became a member of the Dark Brotherhood and was a thief and a rogue Assassin. When made listener, she came across Cicero's journals that dictated how Brotherhood in other provinces were destroyed, and Assassins were brutally murdered across Tamriel, including Elsweyr. There she found the secret to her mother's death that her father had hidden from her: Her mother was a Dark Brotherhood Assassin and was killed in the brutal attacks. Ri'ssad kept this from her, and fled Elsweyr with a group of Khajiit and formed the caravans till they reached Skyrim. She was later reunited with her father and embraced by him. History, thus, repeated itself.
She wields dual ebony daggers and has a high sneak skill. She is a lone wolf and never married. Shadowmere obviously is her steed.

Orc: Ortega
Warrior: Two Handed weapons and Deadra Hunter with a high smithing skill.
She is brutal. She was raised in the Orc Stronghold known as Dushnik Yal near Markarth. I like to think Shel, the Cheifton's favorite wife had her has a daughter, expecting a son to one day fight for the position of Chief. But her fate would that she be married off and be some other stronghold chief's trophy wife, like Shel, who just stands pretty and doesn't serve the stronghold at all. Ortega refused. The Chief ad a brother, who left to join the Imperials, and returned with the Chief greeting him with open arms (you learn this if you go to Dushnik Yal). My "fiction" states that Ortega confided in her uncle that she admired him for leaving and that she wanted to do the same and explore Skyrim - Join the Companions. But he objects, and in true Orc fashion the settle it in a fist fight. Ortega wins, and he realizes se is not Chieftain's wife material. She is a warrior. So he agrees to accompany her (I believe that's how you get him to follow you). On her way, she gets arrested, taken to Helgen, etc, but later she joins the Companions, Joins the Stormcloaks actually, disagreeing with her Uncle that if someone tried to strip Malacath from her she would want to rebel too. But she organizes a meeting between Ulfric and Tullius with the Greybeards to make negotiations.
I haven't decided who she marries yet. Possibly the Orc at Dayspring Canyon/Fort Dawnguard (I think you can marry him). If not, another Orc from somewhere. Or one of the Companions.
She also hunts Daedra.... I love collecting the artifacts and displaying them in my homes!
And she is a werewolf obviously. I haven't done enough of Dawnguard to switch to being a vampire. But she will side with Volkihar. Theodorrah sided with the Dawnguard. Khali'fat remained uninvolved (so far).

My Identical Twin boy cats, obviously named after the Khajiits in Skyrim D
J'zargo is on the left, M'aiq is on the right.
They even have somewhat the same personalities as the characters:
M'aiq is very talkative.... VERY talkative.... (when he wants to be)
J'zargo is VERY curious and independent.... always exploring and "ready for more adventure!"
I couldn't ask for better cats.
They are both 3 years old. We adopted them at 7 months. They are part Maine Coon and they are HUGE! 18lbs, but the vet says that is a healthy weight for them because of their MASSIVE breed!
What drew us to them was the face M'aiq was pulling on the Humane Society website.... I wish I could show you the photo - TOTAL M'aiq face. "M'aiq knows many thing, yes?" PRICELESS.
When we met them we adored the bond between them. They never left each other's sight. Always looking out for each other. Eating together. Sleeping together. Grooming each other. Playing together. SO sweet. Best Brothers forever. <3
 
Shadowmere is the best tank, hands down. That horse WILL NOT DIE. Aranea has been nice, since I don't accidentally punch her in combat D8 RIP Lydia and Uthgerd about 6 times before I reloaded to save them XD

unless you ride him off a cliff but that's another story

Yes the horse can die unless you have a patch. Mine got killed in some invasion lol.
 
Depends on what class I'm running / what they are going to do.

I've ran as a few Nords: the first was just pure exploring where I put perks where I felt like. He was a total mess but it was pretty fun. The second was a stealth archer which got pretty broken fast, along with one-handed and alchemy. He was fun for the Dawnguard questline, especially if you run around in light armour with a crossbow + Dawnbreaker.

For a mage I used Breton. I had two mages and they both went through the CoW quest. It's pretty fun to go there at level 10 and level up through the quests, but after that I usually lose interest.

For sword + shield I went Nord again, along with archery, enchanting, smithing and heavy armour. Pretty fun to explore Solstheim with that build.

I don't really start the main questline/activate dragons unless the build fits it. Sometimes it's just fun to explore the world as if there wasn't some giant dragon demi-god trying to nom everyone.

Really? O.o I don't have any mods on mine, and the only patches are whatever Bethseda's released. He's tanked dragons, taking over a stormcloak fort, 7 forsworn, and two hagravens (not all at once, but... yeah). It's really ridiculous.

Oops, that last was at Noiru's:

I play as a dark elf. Her name is Valerien and she is a hunter who uses mainly bows. I finished most of the game so now I just mess with mods. I have a pretty cool white lynx who wipes people out pretty easily, only thing is he isn't so good for sneaking, he likes to just charge in. I love having a tank by my side though I must confess.
 
I play a Werewolf Reguard dagger/shield, sword/shield, dual dagger character. My character is part of the Brotherhood, killed Alduin, is a Nightingale, and a Werewolf so when they die I don't even know, Sithis taking them is more likely though. They adopted Aventus(mod) and married Muiri. I play mostly without followers. Also the Thalmor can go DIAF. STORMCLOAKS FTW!
 
tiny bosmer archer. natural born thief and doesn't care much for the dragon killing business

Thief is really easy to master, tbh. I also like being Khajiit in general and they're skills are archery and stealth.

Plus many missions involve stealth. Dark Brotherhood, Theives Guild, etc.

A mod I recommend is the Alternate Start. Instead of that stupid 30minute long intro, it starts you off random. In one instance, I was on a sinking ship and another I was in jail.
 
Oh man, draugr :| Nothing upsets me more than them having shorter cool-downs on shouts than I do. I'M DRAGONBORN, THEY'RE JUST DEAD PEOPLE.
 
I find it interesting how many people play stealthy/thief characters. Hmm.

Stealth is just too much fun when you combine it with archery. I've never really had a dedicated thief character though, still something I need to try.
 
Stealth adds a lot of fun. Shoot someone with an arrow and they go "What was that? Must've been my imagination..." while an arrow is stuck in their forehead.

It's fun sneaking and shooting at the city guards until Lydia decides hiding time's over and it's time for battle.

smh

Followers are so annoying! I only bring one if i want to throw them into a trap or something. You can get a daedric butler from Solstheim that make far better suitcases.

I sacrificed Lydia in that one Daedric mission

That's ice cold bro.

I'm pretty sure Lydia died when we were doing something on the Throat of The World.

Depends. if you get one of those invincible they are great, plus I prefer help on those more annoying missions and they can carry stuff.

Yeah that's true. I only like the daedric butler because it doesn't follow you and only lasts a few seconds after you summon it.
