I need to finish my Oblivion run-through already. I've been meaning to make some new characters but I feel like I have to at least finish the DLC quests first. My current character is getting into the so-overpowered-it-isn't-a-challenge-anymore category.

I had an idea for a really, really racist Argonian character. As in, he immediately hates anyone who isn't Argonian and won't have anything to do with them.


So that leaves you the dock workers at Windhelm and the jewelery merchant in Riften...and maybe the other Argonian that would be in the Dark Brotherhood if you chose to join it.

OH! And the guy in solitude that lures you into crashing a boat who eventually plots to murder you.

Sounds like an interesting playthrough, though personally I'd go more for a racist human. That way you can still do half of the stuff skyrim has to offer. You can also change it from "won't have anything to do with" to "just be a dick to".


>implying I have Skyrim
I meant in Oblivion. There's plenty of them in Bravil and Leyawiin, and I know there's a shopkeeper in... Chorrol, I think? and two heads of the Mages guilds, but he probably won't be a mage.

And I dunno he may end up socializing with a few other humanoids but he's just a jerk to them. Being in the Dark Brotherhood would probably work since he can be a Shadowscale and kill non-Argonians, unless he gets assigned to an Argonian, in which case he'll be all conflicted and possibly kill everyone in the Dark Brotherhood lol who knows

Ok well now you're just being that one kid who refuses to get the new iPhone 5, which is obviously better, sleeker, and better than the old iPhone 4S...

Also I thought being a shadowscale meant you were born to be an Argonian death machine with simple input/output programming, with input being told to "kill that guy" and output being the death of that guy by your hand. With that, you can kill your Argonian contract, but then be all angsty about it in a Frankensteinish kinda way.

All I know is when I started my Argonian assassin I intended to make him one of those "stow your blade from innocence" types, which then withered when fuck people, because seriously...fuck people. It's kinda the same way my high elf mage (oh my god my nerd bulge is pulsating!) went from an innocent scholar to now planning on ruling the world as a blood sucking fiend of the night.

You find ways to justify shit.

...like...a lot of shit...

...I've killed people...

I started a new game in Morrowind, trying to for the first time beat it legit without any cheating and stuff.
I made a Khajit for the first time too, a Trickster class maining sneaking, security, talking, bartering and all that stuff. Basically he goes around trying to find the most profitable for him things to do, like agreeing to get the cheddar from Fargoth but never returning to the guy once he has it. Basic stuff like that.
I'm not sure where to go first, I went to Mournhold but I have the suspicion that the Add-Ons were supposed to be played after you're more leveled up after I got 1 hit killed by a goblin in the sewers.
So now I'm just in Pelagiad.

I haven't bought Skyrim because I'm fairly certain my comp can't run it :pseudo:
I'll get around to it one of these days.

And yeah my current character is just your average Breton girl who went out into the world trying to be righteous and fulfill her destiny and all that crap, but now she's having lapses of insanity where she murders people, probably caused by all that diving into the pits of hell and whatnot, and as a result has also developed a drinking problem. If you spend too much time in the abyss...

besides, I had to kill that guard. He had that glitch where it sets all his facial features to be the palest, ugliest monster imaginable, and his mouth doesn't move when he talks, and he was painful to look at. He must have been cursed from standing next to that Oblivion gate or something. Yeah, that's it. I was only ending his misery.

I think the only character I have who didn't end up becoming corrupted was my Orc BERSERKER! (nsfw), and maybe my Khajiit assassin. Where before I tried to make him follow a strict code of self defense, I eventually went completely apathetic over who I end up having to kill. My elf, however, just went corrupt with power. At some point I just stopped giving a shit and said "fuck it, he's now an asshole!" I try justifying it by saying he cracked under the pressure of suddenly being put in charge of the College of Winterhold...which was attacked by a dragon...twice!

Sometimes a dragon encounter seems to be repeated over and over every time you travel to a place. I had no less than 4 dragon attacks in a row in the same town every time I fast traveled there. Always the same kind of dragon too.

But twice in, like, 15 minutes (it seemed like?) I walk out of the college for the second time that questline and I hear that daisies dragon AGAIN, and all I can think is "AW NAW motherfucker I just narked your booty 5 minutes ago! You get your scaly booty over hear AND TASTE MY FIRE!...AGAIN!"

Another part of it was I was able to kill massive amounts of people upon learning all of the rage enducing spells while just standing there like a puppeteer while all of the bandits kill each other for me. At some point I just snapped and thought "I AM THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE!"

And then paralyze...that was just cheating.

My mage went mad in his quest for power, while he's not your stereotypical "slaughter everyone you meet" villain, he does use his underlings at the College as thralls and will stop at nothing to get his hands on powerful artefacts.

Mine went the same kind of mad, but with different methodology. Basically, he's a sentinel of self-reliance. You're welcome to come along if you want to, but so help you God if you step in front of a fireball. And if you really believe I'll think twice about murdering your booty if the relationship turns into one of those bullshit "evil the whole time" story plot twists...

...NNNNNNOPE!

Was probably annoyed to shit on thinking of a way to get rid of your suicidal booty anyway with your incessant "stand in front of my fireballs" strategy. Now I can chuck them at you without feeling that twinge of guilt that reminds me of my humanity...elf...manity?

Whatever.

EDIT: With that said, having this vampire chick follow me around on all of my vampire missions has been just a colossal thorn in my booty.

"i think it's time for us to part ways."
"No way I'm sticking with you!"
"..."

God what a cunt...

On my khajiit is was different! It's a vampire fighting on the side of humans! There's hope for the world, and I'm the protector. With this I can remind myself of why I exist as more than just "that guy that kills people". On my mage she's just being a pain in the booty. I'll throw a rage spell, and the next thing I know I see her slink off.

The fuck are you doing?! I have a system!

My system consists of lodging arrows into enemy heads.

The vampire girl's system consisted of exposing my position by running into melee the instant I launched an arrow.

I had a similar plan, except I'm a Nord, and I just put on the guard armor of the Hold I'm currently in and patrol the streets and outer regions. It makes everything the guards and civvies say to you funnier somehow. Also, I'll follow them into their barracks and hide when its time to leave.

I think my character might be crazy. :psyduck:

ALSO: SINCE THIS IS A NEW THREAD I'LL POST THIS HERE

I went to Balmora and got the Quest to kill the 5 Cammona Tong members, which I did through extensive use of the tactic of stabbing them with pointy things then leaving the house to heal up since they can't follow me then going back in.
That got me a 12k worth ring of surroundings, which I then sold at the mage's guild for a well filled soul gem and some small stuff and then made an enchanted short sword that heals me when I hit someone.
That should cut the amount of healing potions I need when I get into open combat.

when i was playing morrowind i spent a looooot of time getting the best weapons and the best armor and the best everything and making my stats really great before i finally challenged dagoth ur

i was freaking out when the battle started cause i was expecting something horribly difficult. cue him falling with a single stab in the first battle. oh ok.

go to the next room, his attacks barely even hurt as i do shit to the heart. in his rage he ran into me before i could finish. except he mostly missed and ran off the platform and into the lava. i calmly finished my task and the heart was destroyed and i was the winner.

easiest boss battle in the game i swear to god. almalexia was a million times harder and i beat her first

Dagoth Ur was mostly just a scary dink with a mask. After a billion side-quests you could pretty much just spank him into submission.
