I almost always play as a khajiit (the females are so cute and very pretty and I love all the fur options) archer and I love being a thief. I really like long range weapons and it feels really good to slink around and head shot people and leave a place with a butt load of loot and no damage cause I'm so swifty. I try and collect every book and pretty thing I can find to bring back to my house (that I basically stole and upgraded with an exploit) and decorate it.
Speaking of pretty things, I had Lydia with me and I decided she wasn't going to do me any good since I sneak around all the time and I don't want her getting me caught, so I murdered her and trapped her soul, then I forged a sword and enchanted it with her soul and called the sword Lydia. Now she hangs on my wall. Love you girl.

I like to put the game difficulty on master and I have a mod that lets me have multiple followers, so I have 2. It's much more fun that way for me, I feel like we are a gang of adventurers.

>>157390I feel you about that, there are mods that make them more interesting but it's unfortunate that I can't engage with people more authentically or feel like my reputation actually matters. It's kind of immersion breaking when half the male cast is Tino Tonitini from the Weekenders. My favorite NPC from the game is actually from the Dragonborn DLC, Neloth (picrel) who is voiced by Dwight Schultz, who also happens to play one of my favorite Star Trek characters Lt Barclay.

>>157576You should probably play it vanilla first. or maybe download only mods that fix bugs from Nexus, like the unofficial patches or that one that fixes display cases. There's an entire category for them in the site.
Other than that, just make sure to have fun! Don't rush things, and at some point you'll need a place to store things. The cupboard and dresser in Anise's cabin near Riverwood are safe (most containers delete things after a while), so use them before you buy your first house. Or just sell your stuff. You'll have more than you need before you know it. I made the mistake of storing every single sword I found in a chest and now everytime I try to open it the game severely lags. Don't do what I did KEK

I dont really play with a lot of different companions, so I guess I'm wondering what some good companions are out there.
I did a playthrough with uthgerd once, she was pretty cool. I love her steel plate armor, it suits her very well, and shes good with a bow.
Had to stop playing with her bc shes a goody two shoes, and I couldn't do anything fun without her turning on me. I decided to test my summoned dremora from the sanguine rose staff, and attacked belethor. She killed him and then started attacking me. I also got past a certain point and the thieves guild quests and found that she was no longer following me, she'd went back to the bannered mare. I should've known from her attitude when you talk to her for the first time, but I was a fool.

I did the Erandur cultust quest and I'm playing as a dunmer fighter. I spared Erandur and realized that not only can he be your follower but that he is indestructible because he is an essential NPC. I have decided to rp that he is my dad and we're adventuring together in an effort to raise enough money to save Solstheim. He has a lot of regrets and fatherly advice and his funny little beard reminds me of my own dad hehe. I love to give him cool items to help with our journey and I'm decking him out in great gear!

>>157420Sorry, this pic activates my autism.
Wouldn't quite agree with this, this image is massively pigeon holeing every culture into a single human counterpart while ignoring what the lore actually says. The Bosmer don't strike me as Native American at all, there are skilled archers in every culture, for instance. They strike me as traditional forest elves but with a return to darker roots because they engage in cannibalism (because they are not allowed to harm plantlife) and are supposed to have monstrous true forms (but these have never played a part in the games). They participate in Wild Hunts which are a strongly Northern European motif.
Argonians are just bizarrely alien. They don't take bizarre 'drugs', they take the hallucinegenic sap from Hist Trees which is vital to their physical development, those trees are sort of like their patron gods/their creators. One of their defining cultural traits is that they originate from Black Marsh, described as swampland that most other races just cannot survive in.
Calling Dunmer Buddhist is just strange because they have ancestor worship as well as the Tribunal (three Dunmer mortals who fashioned themselves as Gods) or they otherwise worship traditionally 'evil' Daedric Princes. They have feuding family Houses. Their aesthetics aren't very SEA to me.
Altmer aren't particularly Japanese at all besides concept art of them in kimonos and katanas, I think in ESO they do have pagoda-like buildings, but otherwise they're like typical snooty magic elves who care about pure bloodlines and class.
Orcs aren't nomadic at all. They live in small splintered strongholds of one chief with multiple wives if they haven't intergrated into foreign places.
TES is known for being a complex, beautiful mess that can't be mapped 1:1 on real life, no offence to whoever made this but this image callong these 'inspirations' does the lore a disservice.

But I wouldn't say that it's your fault es6 is delayed.
Let's be honest, clean cut games nowadays are a thing of the past. Developers want to make something they can milk the shit out of and make money. Microtransactions and shit. They dont want to make games like skyrim anymore, they'd rather just port skyrim since it takes way less money. But even if noone bought the ports Bethesda would still just pussyfoot around and never release a new game.

This probably sounds pathetic, but sometimes I get legitimately sad that Skyrim isn't real. I will never be a badass adventurer who travels from town to town going to different taverns and shops, meets different people, gets rich from exploring caves, does amazing quests, slays magical beasts, saves the world from dragons, uses magic etc. playing Skyrim makes real life seem so dull by comparison. I have thought about playing Skyrim VR for a more immersive experience but I watched a review and I don't think I would like it that much, plus the floating hands look kind of ridiculous to me. Also I would have to buy a VR headset and rebuy Skyrim for like the seventeenth time. No thanks.

>>157420I love shit like this. My personal tinfoil is that Bretons are inspired by actual Bretons (from ex-Armorica/Brittany). In fantasy, elves are often associated with Celts and Briton-celtic culture, the fact that Bretons have elf-blood might be a direct hint at the Briton blood of irl Bretons. Also the fact that they’re good mages might be a ref to druid Merlin whose legend is linked to Brittany with the Broceliande forest
