Introduction To My New Character

     Since my old character isn't completely dead, I still will keep the saves for testing and BS'ing around, my new character will be a completely new and different character, not an incarnation. She will still be related to all of the characters of the past, however, much like a split-off of her spirit or what not. And, as you can already tell by how i'm wording all of this, this will also be a role play character much like my previous ones.

     I've decided to role play her a little bit differently to add a little challenge to me. I've decided to make her more like my real life self and not so much a fantasy character, with some obvious exceptions of course. This means, no magic (except maybe a few spells to simulation intuition), no super powerful abilities and skills that i've role played in the past (such as being able to unlock any lock no matter what, walk through walls and jump super high), and I can only stick to the skills and abilities I would be physically able to learn in real life. There are of course exceptions, such as my race. Because I see my personality in real life more as feline  I will stick to a feline race (though, not as animalistic as the actual kahjiit. This calls for a new downloaded modded race) but no night eye.

     I have a hunger and sleep mod installed to make my character as realistic as possible as well as some unique mods to add extra and different foods to the game as well as a vast variety of weather patterns to add unpredictability.

     Another exception to my "true to real life" way of role playing are the decisions I will be making. Because they will be based in the world of Skyrim there will be decisions made, and situations I will be in, that I would in no way ever be making in real life or putting myself in, in real life. I would never kill anyone in real life, even to save myself. I don't steal! I don't lie! So these things will be different just to fit the game.

     With all of that said I reserve the right to change my mind on any of these things, even though I doubt I will.

Happy reading n.n

A New Beginning

     For some time now I have been exploring the idea of starting over in my game with a whole new character. I have completed the main quest, all of the smaller quests and about half of the misc. quests or close to it and found myself mildly bored with the game at the moment. My current character was created to be as powerful as possible due to the fact that I had never played Skyrim before and didn't know what to expect. How hard was the game going to be? How long would it take me to complete the tasks and quests? How much help would I need with everything and anything? All of these questions were yet to be answered and so I created my character to be as powerful as possible (as I always do the first time I play a game) so that I would be allowed to get used to the game and become comfortable with the game without becoming overly frustrated or getting myself stuck in binds that would make me want to quit playing (as happens sometimes in games).

     Now that I am extremely comfortable with the game and feel like I know it inside and out with the exceptions of a few, tiny misc. quests I feel it's time to create a character that is a little bit more serious, a little less powerful and more challenging, and perhaps a little less goofy (Though I LOVE those goofy moments and will still have some!). I think after a while I will delete all of my Skyrim blog posts from my soon to be previous game play through, but I plan on keeping the Oblivion game part of the blog. I don't exactly know how to back up whole blog posts, so most likely you'll never see them again unless you have a way to back them up yourself. I just don't find them nearly as entertaining as I was expecting them to be; Hopefully the next play through will hold more entertainment.

     Because I have already posted in detail about most of the quests in the game already I will not be doing the same thing the second time through, but only highlighting the fun and very different moments, maybe introducing some characters better for the newbies who decided to read my blog. I still plan on keeping my save game files though, just in case I want to go back. I'm thinking i'll keep them for the purpose of testing new mods if nothing else.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy my new game that i'm going to start!
