What do you do?

[Dark Assassin]

For fun sometimes I go up on a high building/mountain/hill and watch the day pass bye. Other times I go kill everyone in every hold city. So what do you like to do for fun In Skyrim?

There's a cliff in High Hrothgar that I like to repeatedly throw my characters off of, only to watch them plummet and tumble to their deaths.

I find this to be wonderful therapy after a grinding day at work.

Start a new character.

 

[Liger]

Go hunting on the plains of whiterun and smith some leather and sell it. Gather flowers and butterflys, mine random ore you find, Role play abit,

I take every guard's clothes off, their weapons too (maybe leaving the arrows without a bow for fetish/insult), punch the oldest lady I can find in the city, lure them to follow me while trying to punch a fully daedric armored champion (brave folks) and make sure we get all to a giant camp (this takes a while in Markarth). Then I watch the cinematic kills of the giants and I can proudly say I saw naked people flying without consuming skooma, nor Sleeping Tree Sap, nor Histsap

Spawning stuff, people and animals in randomly chosen places. Running around naked just for the reactions. Running around at night hoping to get a few random encounters (success varies at this though, my very best so far has been a Thalmor group followed by another one -> instant double-kill, fun ). Talking to funny characters/checking out caves and stuff to collect as much as possible to sell it and become even more rich than I already am, and last but not least, starting from an older savegame to do some fun quests again. ^-^

THIS. My favorites so far are Lucan Valerius: "Hey! How you walk around at home is your own business - when you're at HOME!" and Farkas: "Um...you've got no clothes. You should get some."

Actually I like to listen to the lectures at the College of Winterhold. If you can catch Phinis Gestor's lecture about College policies, it's funny "While Drevis appreciates the spellcasting skill that went into somehow cramming several hundred apples into his pillow, he would ask that it please not happen again..."

I also like cooking when I get bored, and I'll go gather ingredients just to make certain dishes. (Elsweyr Fondue, anyone?) I always put the kitchen extension on my house in Hearthfire just to have the oven.

 

[Chadonraz]

Whirlwind Sprint (all three Words) down the Dragonsreach stairs, landing next to Talos. If I didn't have the Heavy Armor perk "Cushioned", or wasn't wearing four pieces, the fall damage would kill me.
Of course, the guards don't appreciate this.

Unfortunately for them I also like to lead a guard who is going to tell me off for Shouting around town.

 

[Punz]

Hunting, exploring or killing spree. Typically it's hunting, whether it be animals or mortal blood.

 

[Wildroses]

I love building homesteads so much I'd have to say Hearthfire is the one I'd keep if I had to lose two of my DLCs. I find the process of scrounging enough money for land and iron then going around trying to find the more obscure items like amulets and ingots. I also enjoy roleplaying having a family to raise and come home to. A family and a homestead are my top priorities with nearly every character.

Also alchemy. Part of the reason I never fast travel is so I can spend twice as long on the road picking flowers and chasing butterflies.

I'd have to say I really enjoy avoiding quests. Some of my favourite most successful characters have been ones who have aims which don't relate to quests, such as finding specific random loot, making a portfolio of jewellery as gifts for family members, and being a professional alchemist who harvests all her ingredients personally. It's not that the Skyrim quests are bad. My enjoyment of the quests is why I fell in love with this game. It's just lately I seem to have more fun when I ignore most quests.

 

[Daelon DuLac]

Read. There are some great stories in all those books (and some great info too!). Besides, they're (in general) short and my attention span is not that long.

 

[Sahdira]

Mostly Sahdira will wander the countryside and collect alchemy reagents on her lazy days. If she is near a city she will crawl through shops and looks for rare books. Sometimes when she is in the Rift, where the water is slightly above freezing, she will take a swim. Yes, yes, she knows that you don't often see Khajiit in water, but Sahdira is an odd Khajiit at times.

 

[DragonMage2013]

Assassination Contracts. It's endless so, I do at least a dozen before sleeping. It feels like my "part-time job" if you know what I mean. Then I keep 'trophies' of my targets. I actually got the idea from a rather creepy video on youtube about a guy who RPGd his character as a serial killer with all those women's heads. Creepy? Yes. Creative? I'd give it a yes.

 

[Jader]

Throw some frenzies in cities and watch the ensuing chaos.

 

[shadowkitty]

Hunting for souls to fill empty gems.
Setting off in a random direction to see what I can discover (I found Angis' camp this way)
Riding my horse through the countryside.
Turning Were in the middle of a city.
Hunting down a dragon I see way off in the distance.
Returning to Gallows Rock (again) where my horse died and avenging it's death by slaughtering everything inside.
Killing the only killable chicken(without having the citizens wanting to kill you) at Darkwater Crossing, and doing raise zombie on it just so I can have a zombie chicken.
Avenging the bunny deaths in Shadowgreen Cavern.

 

[tx12001]

Using my Lich Character, I like going around with a group of Necromancers doing Necromancy, I like soul trapping people who are arragont by trapping them in the black star

 

[Israel]

Cast Mayhem in a big city like Whiterun or Solitude, and/or turn into a werewolf and kill everyone. I also enjoy just walking around looking at the scenery and venturing into the occasional random caves and locations. Looking at the night sky never gets old.

Uhm... Why would you want to kill everybody in a city? That seems like cutting off the nose to smite the face.

I think it's pretty fun. Just save right before and have at it.
