Erandur. I got so fond of him the first time I did his quest. We made such a great team and he was such a chatty follower, even if he did decide that while Ulfric and I were exchanging threats about Whiterun and the Civil War was the perfect moment to wonder how people could tolerate how...

Please finish this. I hate not knowing how stories end, even if I'm sure Ralof's going to die. I was kind of surprised Annika managed to heal him actually, I thought he was going to croak it then and there. I missed all the clues it was Jorlief, although I wasn't completely surprised. It made...

Well if you can't stand Vorstag, you're in serious trouble. He's one of the most attractive male spouses in-game and also has unobjectionable marriage dialogue, so you're doomed for a life of singleness if you decide you hate him. Vorstag was my first Skyrim marriage which turned out great as I...

My secret friend informs me that I caused quite a stir on the Throat of the World when I demonstrated the power of the Thu'um.

Lydia and I went to Eldersblood Peak for the Word Wall. After a prolonged dragon battle I ran out of arrows and pulled out my sword. As I struck the final blow it went into the cutscene of my character leaping onto the dragon's head to slash it to death. It would not have been worth mentioning...

I only ever did the Thieves Guild questline once because I wanted to know the storyline. It did not impress me enough to repeat. The moment I became disgusted with the Thieves Guild was when you are railroaded into selling your soul to Nocturnal. It was disappointing for a game which prides...

One of Potema's six million dragr disarmed me in her enormous throne room several times. I ended up looking at the miles of bodies and weapons lying around the enormous shadowy space before deciding life was too short to spend fifteen minutes trying to find my bow or axe of Whiterun and...

Interestingly in my head cannon all my characters including the Dragonborns retire from adventuring to drift off into obscurity (apart from the devoted Dawnguard one who was brutally murdered with her husband by a pack of angry vampires 5-10 years after the game). I simply decide that they've...

I once talked to someone in Sovngarde who claimed to be Dragonborn. Her phrasing was something along the line of: "Hail, Dragonborn. That honour is also mine." I think she was one of the people fighting to the left when you walk inside.

I had a very similar experience recently. She suddenly appeared directly in front of me after running up a hill I was climbing in the Markarth/Falkreath area brandishing a bow and screaming: "THIS IS THE END FOR YOU!" How was I suppose to know she was a hunter talking to a fleeing deer behind...

Altmer. I always take the magic option in RPGs first up and I'd heard they were the best for magic users. I've also had a weakness for elves in RPGs, so that helped. Now it's kind of gotten to the point where I only play Altmers. I start other race characters, but I quickly dump them in favour...

I remember being outraged when I got the letter and 400 gold from Arengar Once-Honoured. You had 300 gold to give to a person who gave you a septim and you were begging on the street?! I want my septim back, you rich bastard!

I didn't discover this myself, I watched part of a Let's Play but I didn't know it. It turns out if you make Harkon wait too long when you are trying to make up your mind about refusing or accepting his gift, he gets fed up with you and throws you out of the castle as if you picked no...

I once had a Redguard in the Bannered Mare give one of my characters that line, and when the fight began Mikael decided to start singing Ragnar the Red. I swear this is true, right as Mikael finished the song I killed the Redguard, and the entire inn applauded. It was awesome.

Anyone who looted my current character would probably be bewildered. "Why in Oblivion is she carrying hundreds of flowers and mushrooms? Sweet Talos, how many butterflies has she killed to get all these wings? Are these pine thrush eggs or rock warbler eggs? Oh gross, please tell me this isn't...

I on occasion have also had the bandits attack me inside. Once it was because I was walking inside just as they spoke to me, so I had a bandit chief running around slashing at my son, although not for very long. Husband, steward, bard, housecarl and dog were not impressed.

Yes I feel bad! After the soul cairn I stopped completely using black soul gems, I never became a vampire, and I never ask Serana to cure herself as I know she'd have to send someone there to do so.

I was hundreds of hours in when I discovered that it is possible, when informing the Jarl of the dragon attack on Helgen, to avoid Irileth entirely and talk directly to the Jarl, upon which you have a completely different conversation with him. If it wasn't for someone on this forum pointing...

This thread reminded me of my first playthrough of Skyrim. I didn't realise at the peace conference that if the Hold changed, the Jarls changed. When Arngeir said: "Jarl Ingmund will step down as Jarl to be replaced by Thongvar Silver-Blood, and Jarl Laila Law-Giver will step down as Jarl to be...

Personally, I'm hoping when the invasion of vicious ice zombies comes the Wall does not stand. I want the Wall smashed down and I want the Others to sweep across all Westeros. Why? So the Night Watch can say: "We told you so" to all those people who thought Others were a legend made up by the...
