A hunter. I love sneaking around the woods shooting deer, mudcrabs, bears, dragons, and wolves with my bow! I find wandering more fun than doing quests.
What would your career be in The Elder Scrolls?

Based on my real life skills, I'd probably be some sort of writer or record keeper (taxes, battles, official decrees, or something as humble as a letter writer), because the literacy rate is probably not very high.
I'd like to be some sort of healer using restoration magic. Maybe a priest, maybe a cleric on the field in battles. You're always useful. Or perhaps a scholar/adventurer.
In reality? I'd probably end up as a barmaid or a prostitute being unable to find work and being useless at labour and killing.

It's not exactly entirely the Empire's fault that they banned the worship of Talos. The elves kicked the shit out of pretty much everyone and the only chance they had of saving what's left (the Empire pretty much only consists of Cyrodil and Skyrim by this point, the redguard place (can never remember its name) is on its own after being abandoned by the Empire, IIRC) was to sign the treaty and agree to banning the worship of Talos.Shadow-Phoenix said:
The ones actively rooting out Talos worshippers are the Thalmor, and they weren't even all that active a presence until Ulfric and his followers started making such a big deal out of everything.
Before Democracy (or really anything other than empires and kings) can exist in Tamriel the thalmor situation would need to be taken care of first, considering they want to undo all of creation and all... dicks.
Also you can't really blame the Blades for wanting to kill Paarthy. He did some pretty shitty stuff back in the day, and just because he's nice NOW doesn't mean he's exempt from punishment. Sorta like how if some guy went and did a hole bunch of awful things in the past, but then decided to become a nice guy, he's not exempt from getting punished for it in our society.
Of course, Tamriel has only one punishment for anything: death.
Stole something? KILL THE BASTARD.
Punch an old lady? KILL THE BASTARD.
Put something you knocked over back on the shelf? KILL THE BASTARD.
... unless you agree to go to jail or pay a bounty. Then they're like "okay it's all cool now bye".
... Paarthy probably's just refusing to pay his fines.
This is now my headcanon.
OT: I'd probably be some commoner's wife. Or dead. Or both.
Just promise us you won't sing Ragnar the Red and instead your own creative songs because I can't stand listening to just 3 songs in any lodge or my manors >.<MiracleOfSound said:
Magical research primarily in the field of Illusion.
I'm a strong believer in Reality=Perception and a master of the illusion is a master of reality. Skyrim has some pretty terrible illusion magic as it stands and I feel like I can improve on what they've got so far, the tree doesn't remotely evoke the purpose of illusion as it stands.
Alternately I aspire to be that guy from the book in Oblivion's Shivering Isles who tried to master Destruction magic as a healing form by purging his body of all weakness and disease. It did not end well but it was hardcore.
Edit:
I found the book for those that are curious.

But if everyone is picking it, then not only would enchanted daggers be worthless due to an over inflated market, you won't be able to get a job since you'll forever be in a perpetual limbo of being over/under qualified for the very few people who'd be looking for a traveling enchanted iron dagger salesman to hire, not to mention that there'd be at the very least a hundred other people vying for the same employment you're trying to gain.MiracleOfSound said:

That's right. You'll be bald.
Do you want to be bald Mr. Sound? I think not, no sir, not when you have such nice hair! Without that head of hair, you'd be NOTHING.
I'd like to be an argonian fisherman. Just fish, swim and do nothing all day. I cant get sick or poisoned so I would just drink any water. A bunch of dumb fish you can catch with your hands to eat. Hell I'd just sleep underwater in a log er something. But since I'm not a lizard man and we're exploiting the setting. I'd get arrested and wait for someone to need my help with something important.
courier for sure my first play through of skyrim the courier got mugged and had no clothes tis the breezy life for me
Probably some weird amalgamation of Dwemer scholar, mechanist/tinkerer, and adventurer. Dwemer tech always fascinated me, so you can bet I'd probably be that dead Khajiit in heavy armor you find in the depths of some Dwemer ruin, surrounded by little flavor-text notes and an angry Sphere Centurion or two.

Seeing how I'm majoring in Economics with a minor in Business Admin. (I'm thinking about switching to a minor in Stats), I'd say merchant/business man/work for the empirial reserve/stock brocker/pollster.
Thinking about it, I think I'm fine with that. Sure, I'll probably get robbed (and/or killed) by some of the more psychotic players, but at least in my playthrough I'm safe.
I'll be the Adam Smith, John Keynes, or Nate Silver of Tamrial, or found the Tamrial stock market!

The poll results are in. You're ahead with people who saw a mud crab the other day, but the demographic you're really behind in is with people who have sustained injuries to the knee.Esotera said:
...huh. Assuming that the "Instantaneous" part of alchemy is just a matter of the way the game system has to work to keep it fun, that'd probably be a reasonable amount of work. effectively making you a freelance apprentice - after all, SHE doesn't want to waste time and effort on the crappy healing potions and resist frosts, she'd rather either be doing book-keeping, tending the store, or working on the more interesting alchemical problems.WoW Killer said:
That's an interesting proposition as a job.
A wandering messenger/mercenary. Taking messages all over Tamriel and maybe killing a bandit leader on the way.
