Stuff you've done in Skyrim that you wouldn't do in real life

[Magicmad5511]

Apart from maybe eating food there is not a single thing in Skyrim that I would do in real life.
I don't go on massive adventures. I don't get into battles with random bandits.
I would in no way be able to approach Frostbite Spiders in real life.

The list goes on. I think the reason for this though is I am a pretty nerdy guy who spends his free time on the computer or on the Xbox 360 playing Skyrim.

 

[Sagacious Zhu]

1. Charging into an embassy and killing everyone inside
2. Assassinating the ruler of the known world
3. Forge steel cooled in the heart of a fallen demon
4. Attack gangs of armed criminals to steal their stuff
5. Ride a horse straight up the side of a mountain
6. Eat strange ingredients to gain their chemical properties
7. Walk circles around a sleeping person to improve my sneakiness
8. Murder someone and only pay $1,000 for the crime
9. Swear fealty to sociopatic demons in exchange for quirky weapons
10. Get drunk with the God of Parties and wake up naked in a church

Stuff you've done in Skyrim that you wouldn't do in real life

Piling up dead, naked bodies. No. Seriously, i don't do that in real. Once maybe twice, but that were special occasions.

 

[The Almighty Grigard]

Um. I would never be a half Cheetah half human in real life. DUH.

Oh fine.

1. Kill every single person that makes a snide remark by cutting their throat and then posing their naked body in uncomfortable positions. (It's mostly the naked posing part)
2. Eat a human heart just to see what happens if I eat it. Same for human flesh, giant toes etc.
3. Jump off a mountain just to see what it would be like cartwheeling down into jagged rocks only to respawn where I jumped off 15 seconds later.
4. Never eat drink or sleep, except for when some random guy plants an axe in my face. Then I chow down on 11 haunches of venison and about 20 carrots, at once.

[doctorsilly]

Jumping on top of a table, and running across it, kicking all of it's contents to the floor, in every house I enter. Nope of the npcs ever notice, so I get that ninja-esque feel of doing something deafeningly loud and not getting caught.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

I have a strong feeling that if I were to ever be sent to the headsman's block I wouldn't be saved at the last second by a world-eating dragon.

 

[BlastedTheWorm]

I fought a dragon. Pretty sure I won't be doing that in real life.

 

[Pearwood]

1 - Most obvious, kill someone.
2 - I'd probably be a lot more hesitant to join the guys who just tried to murder me even if the other choice is siding with a total dick.
3 - Decorate the outside of my house with severed human heads.
4 - Go into a cave infested with vampires and make no attempt to defend myself until I contract Sanguinare Vampiris then immediately go to an inn and sleep for 3 days.

10. Get drunk with the God of Parties and wake up naked in a church

I was waiting for this one.

 

[Furioso]

The one thing where you beat the shit out of the guy for the mace.

I kinda just looked at him then was like "fuck that, I'm not an evil character" and walked out. I'm assuming there's a way to not beat him up, so I'll see if I chance that.

Nope, if you want the Mace of Molag Bal then you're gonna have to do what he says

OT: Fight a Dragon, or anything resembling a Dragon, any large lizards really

 

[Rensenhito]

Stealth. I'm about 6 feet tall and really clumsy, so this is obviously just not an option for me.

Oh, but I have moved people with my voice before. O HO HO!

 

[TheIronRuler]

I had this thought last night as I was poking through a giant spider's guts for some frostbite poison or something like that. I might be game-OCD enough to do this is an open world RPG, but in real life...

Other things that come to mind:

1. Marrying a lycanthrope: It doesn't matter how hot she is, this one would be sure to bite you in the ass at some point. And as far as monthly mood swings go...think about it.

2. Going through any door labeled "Inner Sanctum." "Lair," maybe, "Sanctum," no.

3. Traversing large patches of countryside in a low crouch: would kill my knees.

4. Eating alchemical ingredients to test their properties. I was once the victim of an eighth grade science class prank wherein I was duped into scoffing down a handful of one of the earth's bitterest known substances. Never. Again.

5. Giving change to beggars: I haven't done this since the early 90s.

6. Taking sides in a civil war: Civil wars are like dinner theatre: being a spectator is bad enough.

7. Sleeping in random bedrolls: Think of the ticks. Gah!

8. Stripping and posing decapitated corpses then casting magelight to illuminate them for a photo.

9. Waiting for 8 hours outside a shop door: Still feeling burned after the "Use Your Illusion" release 19 years ago.

10. Carrying hot stew in my pocket.

Quoting Yahtzee, "Murdering tons of dudes".

 

[Lazy Kitty]

1) Run around naked.
2) Pick fights with mammoths.
3) Pick fights with giants.
4) Pick fights with trolls.
5) Join either side of that cursed civil war.
6) Kill someone without reasonable cause.
7) See how high I can jump without dying.
8) Climb down a mountain on the steepest side that doesn't have a road just so I could get down it faster.
9) Eat random stuff so I can find out its effects.
10) Steal from someone.
11) Marry someone after only two sentences and half a quest.

If I were in the world of Skyim and were the Dragonborn, do you think I wouldn't be a magic-wielding sword-swinging badass? If you thought I wouldn't, you'd be wrong.

Also, I would spend a good amount of time in the College of Winterhold.

EDIT: Also, even in game there is no way I would ever kill Parthuurnax. That fellow risked life, limb, tail, and wing to rid the world of one of his own evil brethren. Sure, he was an asshole before, but he made up for all that when he helped kill Alduin. It's called a Heel Face Turn [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn], and he didn't show any signs whatsoever of going back to his old ways. There's also the little bit about him being one of the most powerful dragons, possible the most powerful since Alduin's death.

...Wait...
Parthuurnax is a dragon?
I thought he was an old man, like the rest of the grey-beards...

9. What about black Friday?

 

[Trivea]

-Carry around a human head as a storage device.

*As* a storage device!? Really? I had a couple of witches' heads on me at one point, but I wasn't actually storing anything *in* them.

Yep, I meant as. Always worked for me. That's my fallback encumbrance plan in every Bethesda game.
