Your Skyrim character quirks.

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

I love leaving arrows in people even when I have a chance to take them.

I just imagine the NEXT person to walk into the cave seeing a dozen high level Draugr with arrows sticking out of their skulls and thinking "Whoa... Shit went down in here..."

 

[Knusper]

I never use companions because they steal Dovahkiin's glory.I also just like turning into a werewolf randomly even if there's no enemies nearby, but the sprinting animation looks so nice.

 

[Yoshemo]

Also I never ride horses anymore, bandits killed one and the other disappeared. So I hoof it everywhere. Especially useful as I don't lose followers this way.

If you do the Dark Brotherhood quests, you get an immortal demon horse. Really useful for those "My god, my horse just charged a giant" moments.

Also, horses should reappear next to you if you fast travel somewhere (excepting into walled cities, then they appear in the stables).

That horse is NOT immortal. It fell off one waterfall and died. Unlike oblivion, he won't respawn

 

[Perryman93]

Mine has problems with authority, and a mass hatred for the empire, i cannot resist killing anyone imperial or thalmor if i see them!

 

[AdeptaSororitas]

My thief only uses Daggers in melee, even if I have a super powerful one handed sword I stick to my daggers. However at range she uses a bow like no business.

Also She carries a troll skull everywhere she goes.

 

[Deef]

I collect skulls, and put them on Lydia's bed.

Spoiler: Yep.

 

[Apollo45]

I've actually put a significant amount of thought in to my character. He's an Imperial, and tends to be a 'nice guy', but he does just about everything for his own benefit. Since learning he is the Dovahkiin, he's determined that he is a descendant of Tiber Septim, and therefore destined to rule the Empire himself.

So, in light of that, he has become the leader of every guild and faction in Skyrim. He has become Thane in every province he can, he completed the Dark Brotherhood quest willingly (and enjoyed doing it), he's sworn fealty to nearly every Daedric Prince he's come across (except for Mehrunes Dagon; he followed the quest, fixed the Razor, then refused to kill the Mythic Dawn guy. Instead, he killed Dagon's Dremora, looted his shrine, then went back and killed Silus anyway for trying to bring back the Mythic Dawn (he's determined he doesn't like Dagon, since the guy ended the primary Septim line). He even wears the Emperor's robes around his house, and carries an extra set with him everywhere just in case.

He hasn't yet decided whether to join the Stormcloaks or the Imperials, and has taken to helping both sides out as he sees fit without pledging loyalty to either one yet. He has, however, killed any Thalmor he sees, and is completely confident that they could send their entire army at him and he would come out on top.

He's a master of Speech, and can convince anyone to do just about anything for him. He befriends those with the most power in preparation to gather an army together to both take over the Empire and remove the Thalmor from the face of Nirn.

On a more personal level, he is likewise obsessed with books, and has picked up every one he can. He's gone as far as to organize them all on the shelves in his houses, with books on similar subjects going together, and books in a series sitting in order on his shelves. He will pick up every piece of armor and weapon with a quality above Steel. After killing so many Draugr he's decided he despises necromancers, and has a tendency to kill them on sight along with Vampires.

 

[Robert Ewing]

My characters quirk is he has an extensive collection of both Skooma and moon sugar. I have accumulated hundreds of them over the course of my journeys.

And here is the quirk, I've never once used any.

Don't do drugs kids.

 

[NuclearOsprey]

if your count slaughtering entire towns as a werewolf then yes my nord has a quirk.

 

[serespon]

My Nord is obsessed with justice and honour I guess. Except the one time I killed Gerold the Kind to hunt down the Dark Brotherhood (I was hoping to find out why I was attacked by DB assassins earlier in the game...).

My Dunmer is... well... she's kind of a sociopath who enjoys sharp stabby knives and the Dark Brotherhood.

As a side note, both my Dunmer and my Nord REALLY enjoy pissing off the Thalmor

 

[TopHatsaur]

A little bump as this is the best Skyrim thread I have ever read

 

[ToastiestZombie]

My guy, Mosdrovath, has the need to kill guards in the way they talk to him.

For instance, if a guard says: "if I find you hand in my pocket I'm gonna cut it off", then I pickpocket him and leave a bottle of poison in his pants, killing him slowly.

Remarks about my archery skills? Arrow to the face.
Telling me to stop Shouting? I Shout his brains out.
Warning me about my fire magic? Cooked guard.

Or, my favorite: If he asks me if someone stole my sweet roll, I pickpocket him, leave a sweet roll in his pocket and club him to death because HE STOLE MY SWEET ROLL!

I LoLed the first time I heard a guard saying "You stole my sweetroll" because in that birthday scene in Fo3 there was a whole 5 minutes dedicated to getting a sweetroll from this little brat. Your ironic punishments are pretty cool though.

OT: Hmmm, my character doesn't really have any quirks. Though she does have a tendency to try to just jump anywhere and everywhere. So my character is a parkcore altmer!

 

[Sir Boss]

Ingrid likes hoods, even if she finds a good helmet, even if she's wearing good armour she'll only wear a hood. Also, for an archer she seems to have a fascination with warhamnmers.

she also thinks that Skyrim can solve it's own problems, she just wants to walk around.

 

[6_Qubed]

No, Raj have no quirks. Pretty normal person.

Other then when on moonsugar. Or Skooma.

Ok, Raj have many bad habits. Cant help but eat everything pick up. "What giants toe taste like? BLARG! Taste like Damage Stamina!"

Raj also collects Buckets. Wife Mjoll complain. "Why you must have room full of buckets!?!?" she always ask. "What if person want to steal Raj bukkit? Must have many in case they do!" i tell her. She not understand.

Worst habit of all? Raj hate wearing helmet. To confining. So when combat start, Raj not get any armor bonus. Get butt kicked because leather hood cramp style.
Make me look like necrophiliac. Raj not want to look like necrophiliac!
Time he sleep with corpse was complete accident. Honest.

..... Should probably lay off sweetroll. They make Raj do strange things. Stick to moonsugar from now on.

Raj, you are the best kitty. *pets Raj and gives ear scratchies*

OT: First of all, my character is one that appears every time I play a game with customizable characters, goes by the name of Elmo Orly. By nature a reclusive and sneaky bastard, she bucks most assassin trends by having as her preferred weapon a hand-axe.

Other quirks;

1. Steals shit. (duh) Gives preference to Salt Piles and Garlic, because they can be brewed into money.

2. Keeps everything in one chest next to her bed. Everything.

3. Was delighted to find a quest that involved killing a barmaid because she wanted the cute outfit.
3a. Collects cute outfits.

4. Fully learned Throw Voice before Unrelenting Force, and uses TV waaaay more. That being said...

5. Loves to hit people with full-charge UF from high-up places so they take lethal fall damage. Learned that this is an effective (if situational,) method of killing entirely by accident. With a bear.

6. Uses mostly Iron/Ancient Nord Arrows, except when high-priority targets are present. On that note...

7. Tends to name bows with hunting or morbid Valentines Day references. (i.e. Sparrow Hunter, Hunter of Men, Bloody Cupid, Black February.) And speaking of hunting...

8. Kills every deer encountered. Because fuck deer.

9. Tends to smith a frankly irresponsible number of Iron Daggers and Jewelry.

10. Carries all the useful things. ALL OF THEM.

 

[RVzero]

Why is this locked? They must be hiding something! MUST OPEN ALL LOCKS! (Opening master locks with no lockpick skill is fun!)

 

[PinkiePyro]

is lack of mercy a querk if you pick a fight with her it is always to the death! no running away like a sissy when she sets you on fire

she is also obsessive about books and random crap flowers,insects erc

and is not shy about looting any corpse even her comrades in the legion

 

[Vrex360]

My character is an argonian with a bizarre tendancy to jump almost everywhere he goes instead of walking. He also loves mixing random things together into potions, he snatches small useless objects whenever he goes dungeon crawling and he always wears a pair of bracelets on his wrists.
He also can't help himself and randomly kills ambient wildlife whenever it comes close enough, because damn it, he's hungry!

 

[Pirakahunter788]

I have a bad tendency to pick up one of everything, or stockpile weightless or near-weightless items. This is the case with both Elder Scrolls and Fallout games.

 

[winter2]

If my character is anywhere near water he will drag bodies into it. For neatness sake of course.

And oh yea, will not kill foxes because they are just too darned cute.

And will on occasion drag bodies into a fire if water is not available. For neatness sake.
