How do you play Sykrim?

[UchihaBrat]

I think there will be a little SPOILERS, so be warned.

So, simple, how do you play Skyrim?
I'll give an example of how I do it and how my friend does it to clarify what I'm asking for here:

Before my friend plays Skyrim, he decided that he would take a noble route, that is, not killing any innocent bystanders, no stealing(if possible) and all that which goes well with common sense irl. Now, he has followed these guidelines pretty well, he even felt bad when he had to blackmail those three in Riften when doing that one quest for the thieves guild. I found it a bit amusing that he would joins the thieves guild in the first place, but then he elained that his guidelines regulated him a bit too much.

So, how do I play? Well, I play and do whatever I can do in the game to experience as much of it as I can, that is, if I need to assassinate someone in order to reach deeper into the dark abyss of the dark brotherhood, I do so.
And, if I have to trick a father in order to help a couple of young'uns to elope, I do so.
I simply want to experience as much as I can of the game, but I can be a bit impatient at times, like when you've got no arrows and no money to buy any and the only arrows you get is crappy ones because you're at a newbie level..

So what about you guys?

Edit: of course it's ok to also include what kind of apparel you like to use as well as weapons and horses and whatnot xd

i try to be noble (except for stealing while hidden xd)

also, join the college of winterhold... AWESOME experience. I also have a weird way for exploring. I ALWAYS want to have a frontier t explore (i don't want the world to be all used up) I have explored the east extensively (whiterun, riften), some of the north (winterhold and morthal), and one city (markarth of the west) this leaves a vast open center of the world to explore... I'm not saying i'm going to NOT explore those plains, but i like how i feel that there's still tons more left to do

Also, a funny video xd

Sorry, can't see the vid since I'm using an iPad atm. edit: I'm sexy and I know it! xd god damn that is an awesome video!!
So you also go down the noble road eh?(with tiny exceptions ;D)
I can't say I've been very exploring myself, sure I do run around a lot, but not in the purpose of exploring. Which is why the spots I have left to explore are all over the placexd

oh, well it's funny ;D

Also, I think I'm gonna support the Empire... (haven't yet, been neutral) because it reminds me of the American Revolution, and I supported the british there... plus, the nords are kind of racist, not cool. and it kind of helps that i'm an imperial race myself xd

I saw it on a computer just now!xd
Yeah, I had another character which I deleted, where I supported for the same reason, the nords being kinda racist, I mean, those dark elves are adorable! Just look at the one sitting on that edge in Windhelm all the time!

Gotta add that I'm the sneaky type as well~ high elf in this character.

I try to be noble too, I also like Winterhold, :izuna:

I would like that place a lot if it weren't for all the dragons dropping down onto the courtyard all the timexd

 

[~Deidara~]

I swear one that I killed in the courtyard's bones were there for MONTHS (in skyrim time) when they normally disappear in a few days. and the wind would make them flutter in funny poses xd

Months?! Whoa!xd never experienced that before, but they do look kinda funny when they flutter around!
I always feel like cleaning up when I go to the college and find skeletons or am in a town etc., I use the spell 'magelight' to move them, works pretty well! Just aim it at the skeleton and they'll fly as if they weighed nothing!xd damn scary power behind that light!

I...am a heavily armored "free knight" as I like to call myself. Clad in a full set of steel armor ( I take off the helmet in cities because its polite and lets me adjust to the friendly area) with a skyforge steel greatsword on my back and the Beast Form spell in my posession I am in the order of the companions and their circle and I sadistically kill when I want ( I will wipe out life from entire towns if I feel like it. Like when I traveled to iverstead and wanted to try out my new werewolf form). Or if provoked ( like when I wiped out the entire force of whiterun guards exept for the annoying non killable cheif guard because my bounty was very high and I didnt want to pay it and also because I didnt feel like rotting in jail.) I am strictly a mele warrior and the only kind of magick I tolerate is enchantments like the useful ironhand gauntlets I stole from a bandit cheif's dead body. I love stealing helpful/valuable loot from fallen enemies and I play exclusively on adept level ( admittedly I do lower the level sometimes when facing an opponent that can take more hits than I can put out before dieing. Im not those smug retards that sit on their chair/couch/bed and say " I aint playin on no pusy level!" and then get repeatedly and immediately one hit killed and are then reduced to a tantrum because they aint playin on no pusy level.) Also like irl I dont attack/kill women I have my assistant Lydia for that also as I refuse to use bow and arrow or magic she comes in real handy with dragons or ice sorcerers who slow me down while they try to remain at distance from the blade of my greatsword so I constantly supply her with various types of arrows I take from enemies. I am finally done. U_U

 

[Frozenstein]

meh I'm noble too... a nord vampire in the collage of winterhold...

but these dragons just keep falling on my head from the sky. really annoying... the last dragon attacked me in the collage. it really surprised me... O_O

btw 1 question. I have 3 shouts that requires dragon souls, but no matter how much dragon I killed (right now 5) they don't unlock. can someone tell me why?

Woah dere! You're much like a true nord then eh?xd no magic, no thievery so it's a bit of a noble nord who doesn't kill women etc.! I play on the master lvl myself, but will admit that I've changed that when there were difficult-to-kill opponents. Now I just need to strike them once wUith a dagger while sneaking in order to kill themxd
Looting is good, keeps me busy seeking things and earning lots of moneh!
Never used any partners when playing except when it was necessary as it is for certain quests.
Wipe out whole town?!xd I did that in oblivion, but it's kinda hard with my lvlxd

@frozen: that sounds really weird.. Have you finished the main quest?

hmmm... dunno. I just begun and haven't a clue which is the main :izuna: but if it's for those weird guys on the hill, then not yet. they sent me to find a word on the west.

It may be that you must have completed certain quests in order to unlock some shouts, my amateur guess is that you have to do the earlier parts of the main quest with those guys, in the beginning you have to kill a dragon outside whiterun though(youh probably did that already though.

 

[Frozenstein]

loool I just found out how to unlock it. xd

Lucky!! What shouts were they?

Redguard...im a redguard Almar Redguard of the underforge is the name. I chose redguard because the default model for a readguard seems to be a west indian man which I am.

Oh?! Sorry for making the mistake, but your persona seems so nordic!xd Well, maybe you can' classify it like so~
I go with high elf myself Like the power that comes with it, since I use magic a lot.

 

[Jack Spicer]

Name: Pyrothinean (I forgot I how actually spelled it in the game, but it's something like that)

Race: Dark Elf

Favors: Magic, mainly fire and ice.

I do both good and evil things. Mainly, I help myself and my partners. I think of myself to be Asura's faithful. There's many gods and things, but Asura is my favorite. My favorite partner is Berlynna Manson (Dark Elf at the College) and I think J'zargo is a badass.

I thought of the Dark Brotherhood as a family and still visit them nowadays, but am just there for the family aura and not because I love the dead woman. I think of it as justice.

I'll type more later,

 

[Swizzik]

I am a khajit assassin/thief right from the get go I was stealing and killing people at night. Theives guild was the first guild I joined and finished. If I have to refill soul gems(dark souls) I just go to my local town and kill and unsuspecting guard. I pretty much do what I think will benefit the most and put the most gold in my pockets . Only thing I regret in-game was not being able to kill Maven Black-Briar I hate people that boss you around. My favorite god is Merhunes Dagon he's my kind of guy.
