Just turned it on, actually. I've completed all the main questlines, finished Dawnguard on the hunter's side but now going through as a vampire, bought Hearthfire but haven't done anything with it and I'm working my way through the daedric quests now. It took a year for me to stop role-playing it (I've had three characters up to now because I didn't want any overlap) and just go for completing everything, but with Dragonborn on the horizon I'm tempted to go for another role-playing playthrough.

I haven't played it since last year, haven't felt motivated to. it's a good game but something about it just bores me.
i just only started playing skyrim last week for the first time .
but i feel the game while huge and lots of stuff to do is just a endless list of fetch quests.
go there, do that, talk to him, get that, kill that, etc etc.
its not very interesting at all.
the npc's are boring, the main quest is boring.
the graphics are gorgeous though especially with mods.
but i dont think i would be playing skyrim too much.
already getting bored of skyrim in just a week !!

I won glorious victories for the Stormcloaks and destroyed many dragons, however I never finished the main quest. Got up to that Blade woman and just lost interest in it, though getting engrossed in the story is not a strong point for Bethesda. So I guess you could say that the great Ulfric Stormcloak is now in rule of Skyrim while the dragons continue to fuck shit up? Something like that.
As for the DLC, nothing has yet peaked my interest. I am not a fan of vampires, and the house building DLC is silly. So yeah.

I only started playing a couple of months ago really, but I thought the first priority would be resolving the civil war so there's a united front against the High Elves. My next priority is probably the blades missions, and then once everything else is done, killing everyone in the land, as is my custom after 'finishing' each Elder Scrolls game.
Just incase I shall say it...SPOILLLERZZ!
*Ahem* Let me put my proud achievements out on this thread.
- I finished the main story and SAVED THE Wooorrrrlllldd!
- I led the Empire to victory and beat the Stormcloaks...which bearly any credit for. (Plus I'm a top Commander for them and I am expecting the Empire to fight the Thalmor at some point)
- Become leader of...
1. The Companions. (The end quests are glitched.)
2. The Thieves guild. (Though I can't improve anything...think it is glitched too)
3. Mages Guild. (I just stabbed things like usual except used some magic)
4. Dark Brotherhood. (I'm expecting my guy to make it a "Good" assassin guild like in the AC series)
- Killed many Dragons.
- Collected MANY weapons.
- Killed MANY everything.
- Collected all Dragon Prist masks.
- Killed that one Dragon dude and sided with the Blades.
- Became a werewolf and a vampire and cured myself.
- Sided with the Dawnguard to kill teh vampires.
- Build and own MANY houses.
- Got married...
Though here is the best part.
- Looked awesome while killing many, MANY, MANY things.
And thats it...honestly I was expecting a tiny bit more. :/

Defeated Alduin.
Told the Blades to fuck off.
Became the head of the Dark Brotherhood.
Became the head of the Thieves Guild.
Became the head of the College.
Became the head of the Companions.
Crushed those idiotic Stormcloaks.
Defeated the Vampire Lords, not because of any particular dislike for Vampires, but because blocking out the sun is kind of a dick move.
Pledged myself to every Daedric Prince in existence.
Wondered why the hell Bethesda has only released one proper DLC pack in a whole year...

I've done all I can for Skyrim. The dragons, of course, are an occasional pest-control concern. The Empire has retaken most if not all of the province. The Thieves' Guild's presence has been restored to its former glory and the College of Winterhold is back on its feet. The Companions' war with the Silver Hand is more or less resolved in their favor.
I hear the Dark Brotherhood's Skyrim arm had some internal struggling, but as far as I know it's quieted down and they are back to their normal shenanigans.
I don't know which Skyrim you live in, but vampirism hasn't been more than a slight regional issue so far. There are whispers of another Dragonborn, though I'll be taking that with a grain of salt until I see it for myself.
For the past eight-or-so months I've been meandering outside Skyrim. Of course my wandering feet may soon bring me to those chilled horizons once again.

Well it depends on the character but my main, become a god character has pretty much done everything. I now play him as the Emperor of Everything and he goes around smiting people who speak negatively to him. Also, he decided that the Thieves Guild and Black Briars needed to go down. He didn't like having people walk around like they were better than him. He ended up ruling the Thieves Guild and then murdering most of them. He also killed every single non-essential npc in Riften because he assumed they worked for the Black Briars.
So ya, basically he is master of all, and puts down any sign of trouble quite violently.
Also, I still play quite regularly although not so much lately because Borderlands 2 is taking up most of my gaming time.

Yeah man. If time continues to pass this quickly I'll be dead soon. Not cool.hazabaza1 said:
Anyway, I don't have my first character anymore. He was a Dunmer who wanted power more than anything else. I still play Skyrim, with a cute blonde female Imperial named Scarlett (after my favorite actress). She's a herbalist so she relies mostly on potions and magic. The way I'm playing with her is really fun. She's not strong enough to fight on her own against most enemies and she didn't join any of the factions. Politics doesn't interest her. She just goes around Skyrim collecting herbs and making potions and occasionally she does a few favors for some townsfolk. I didn't think playing like that would be fun, but it is. It's extremely fun.
I left Skyrim as a god among men... and went to Elsweyr and got my ass handed to me by river raptors. Lots of 'em.
Alduin has been defeated.
The companions have a new leader.
The collage of Winterhold has a new Arch-Mage
The thieves guild have a new guildmaster.
Skyrim belongs to the Nords once more.
The Dark Brotherhood has been wiped out. (wonder how many will hate me for that)
The vampires have been defeated.
All the Dragon priests have been defeated.
Paarthurnax still lives and the blades would be dead if that was an option.
Married Alea.
Now fully clad in fully enchanted dragonbone armour and the final dragon priest mask.

Multiple characters. Main quest several times. Mages college a few times. Civil War many times (both sides). Dark Brotherhood many times (both sides). I've returned a cursed Lexicon to some Dwemer ruins for a mad lizard. I've helped a young mage stop her witch mother from transforming into a hag. I've expelled the darkness from a shady temple with the light of the Divines. I've undertaken the Sacred Trials of the Old Gods. I've prevented a deceased evil monarch from returning to life. I've saved a town from vampires secretly living amongst them. I've recovered the lost verse of King Olaf. I've helped a bandit mistress hide from her ex husband. I've thwarted an arch necromancer attempting to live forever by implanting himself in a Daedric artifact. I've defeated the Forsworn's undead founder. I've convinced a mad Irishman to return from his vacation. I've discovered the identity of a notorious serial killer. I've demanded an orc chieften prove his worth by fighting to the death against a giant that was terrorising his clan. I've retrieved an old helmet for an ex-military vagrant. I've located the sword of Tiber Septim and given it to a ghost of one of his former comrades. I've helped a forgetful professor find his alembic. But above all, I've explored, fought, looted, crafted, and built my characters into certified badasses.capper42 said:
Oh and anybody that says they've done everything, lol.
Multiple characters, a lot of multiple characters but my most recent main was leaving it something like this before reality broke and the Gods destroyed all!!!(My computer broke)
Vampires are the most powerful being in Skyrim, more powerful even than dragons. They stalk prey at their leisure and none can stand against them as they can turn the day to night.
My character will travel in the form of a cloud of bats before decending on her prey to feed, either forcibly or through seduction. She has created her own vampire children who have infiltrated positions of power in each of the holds including as housecarls and Jarls.
She was in the process of helping the empire crush the stormcloak rebellion shortly after finishing with the Dawnguard. She wasn't too concerned about the dragons due to the lack of threat they posed to her and had not investigated further beyond a suspicion the Thalmor could be involved.
Although an already powerful vampire she has become an adept in Necromancy with the ability to summon a small legion of moderatly powerful undead servants, she has also through this gained access to powerful death and spirt magic, she travels through the Sygian pathways at will and enslaves or devours the souls of any enemy she comes across.
Many bandits and Forsworn have fallen victim to her seemingly endless hunt for the souls and essence of the fallen, to be either devoured so that she can gain their memories and knowledge or enslaved as a servant.
With her powerful death magic there is nothing living that can stand against her, the only threat are the dead and those she can control. Using her necromantic knowledge she is also able to strengthen and enhance her already capable vampiric body to be faster, stronger and to heal at an abnormal rate.
Currently she is setting up the stages of her plan to assassinate the Emperor in the name os Sithis and for the Dark brotherhood but also engaging in a plot to take control of the thieves guild at the same time.
I have been having fun because mods make things like Vampirism and Necromancy so much fun, although I haven't finished everything yet im setting up my character to become a powerful vampiric necromancer who controls most of Skyrim.

As a world Skyrim was amazing, but as a roleplaying experience.. meh, New Vegas kicks the shit out of it.
I wish they had taken the time to give you a few choices when you quest, and I wish I didn't have to use mods to give my character competence in certain skills from the outset.
Was I the only one who saw the end of the Dark Brotherhood line coming from a mile away and wanted to side against the Night Mother? Hot blonde assassin>old lady corpse any day.

I did everything, despite not wanting to do the Dark Brotherhood/Theives Guild/Participate in a fucking war. On a character basis, doing that stuff didn't make sense, but I'm not doing 234553212354 playthroughts to do everything. Skyrim doesn't have much RP in its RPG.
Fallout FTW

I try to be a good guy, so I didnt join the thieves guild and I massacred the Dark Brotherhood (really, what a pushovers.. I was expecting WAY more out of that, but they had the same retarded "I guess it was just the wind" A.I. as the rest of the NPCs)
The soldiers who you report to are the most naive of the entire planet - you can just tell them you killed the Dark Brotherhood without any evidence you did so and they instantly believe you.
I'm somehow head of the mage college despite having only 30 in restoration and nothing in anything else. The mages still make me do every little fetch quest, was hoping they'd be more respectful
I'm in the process of wiping out the Stormcloaks, but again I had expected more out of this storyline. Not only was the Battle of Whiterun a scripted mess for me (had to restart twice) with Stormcloaks just running ala Zerg mode.. it just doesn't feel like a war. A Imperial Garrison in Whiterun constist of like 5 guys? I know you're stretched thing but THAT thin? I'm told I'm some high rank now but the imperial soldiers seem to care little. If I kill random Stromcloaks I find on the road, I get bounty. Wtf?
I don't hate Skyrim. When I'm playing it I'm having an alright time. But it might have stretched itself too thin, wanting to be everything but ending up lacking in all departments.
I find it hard to immerse myself in a world when the NPCs are acting so idiotic at times. Bribing the Riften steward half a meter away from a patrolling guard?
