Your Skyrim character quirks.

[Simeon Ivanov]

My characters can't stop stealing things ... like girl's panties.

 

[Dirzzit]

I have a room in my house full of pillows in morrowind.
In oblivion it was bowls and cups.
Skyrim? Cauldrons and baskets.

Don't judge me.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

I have a problem with reading books in the middle of dangerous swamps and dungeons.

My friend said he can just imagine my character (bosmer archer) sitting there in stealth, crossed legged and reading quietly while scary shit just wanders past.

 

[The Funslinger]

Hates Thalmar, and is a kind werewolf. If he's attacked by what would normally be a non hostile NPC, he runs away/uses roar. Thalmar being the exception. He does gut beasts though. In human form, he'll sometimes use the animal assistance shout to pacify them though. Also, he seems to be aware of the real world, as two of the weapons he has made have been named for actual Gods. Such as Zeus' Lightning Bolt and Odin's Fury.

 

[Fenra]

After contracting vampirism I had to start sneaking into peoples houses to feed, in doing so I started stealing all thier cutlery to fence at the thieves guild, after a few times I started placing shoes on the table as my calling card. I now like to think my character is known as "The Boot", the mysterious cutlery robber, stealing all of Skyrim's forks!

I simply cannot pass by a mining spot without breaking out the pickaxe. It's just not possible. I was actually mining some iron ore once, and a dragon attacked, but I just kept right on clinking away as he roared furiously and flew circles around me. I was all, "Yeah, yeah, I see you. Shut up, though, I'm BUSY."

This is brilliant.

OT: My character is the leader of the thieves guild... but runs around in heavy armour with a shield and a sword and has no understanding of subtlety.

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).

Actually, the horse isn't immortal. It has high health and health regeneration, but it can still die. Mine died after eating two simultaneous giant smashes and two stealth crit Daedric arrows to the rear. (I was aiming for the giants. Whoops.)

 

[Arnoxthe1]

Sometimes goes insane. Runs away into the wild. Not heard of again for a solid week. Frequency of strange wolf attacks goes up temporarily...

Not all that strange though compared to some of the others here.

 

[Badong]

Aside from being a kleptomaniac(no surprise there), my character is a drunkard. In fact, he can't function properly without a bottle or two of mead(demonstrated by me not using power attacks, not blocking, not sprinting, hitting my companion multiple times, and forgetting to put on armor).

Oh, and he constantly makes it known to people that he's the Dragonborn(demonstrated by me using a shout every time someone says Dragonborn).

Taking role-playing seriously is quite fun, if a bit tedious.

 

[butternut]

My character is horrendously untidy, his house in Markarth is literally strewn with litter and junk. (Especially the enchanting room, everytime I make an enchanted item to level up enchanting I just drop it on the floor. I swear theres probably about 5 or 6 gold rings with +1% sneak on them somewhere)

It got to the point where I was ask to get a Daedra heart for a random side quest and I thought, I bet theres on on my bedroom floor somewhere. Sure enough, there was a Daedra heart lying on the floor partially under the bed collecting dust.

 

[Chezza]

I am an assassin who takes the management of my two lives seriously. Every time I walk into towns I must be wearing civilian clothes and adapt to the villages when I do my trading and jobs. I also have a wife and home and do honest labor (cutting wood). However once a week my character heads to the Dark Brotherhood and takes on a contract. The only time I can walk into a populated town with my gear is at night, sneaking in the dark without notice.

Basically I am like Dexter Morgan in Skyrim, except a little more selfish and evil.

... I just realized I am a role playing nerd :/

My Nord, Kel, has embraced the werewolf thing a little too much. He's a cannibal (runs around with a ring of Namira).

He's married to Aela the Huntress, however, so he gets the hottest Nord in the game to .. umm .. eat out .... ..... .... with.

lol you just described me at university.

 

[Kikosemmek]

My Orc cannot, simply cannot, pass by Thalmor and not fly into a murderous rage. Also, previous posters talked about the mining thing. Yeah, it's become an obsession. I've even kept schedules for when specific good mines are set to "respawn" ores.

Smithing, it's serious business.

pfft, that describes every day of my LIFE.

 

[upgray3dd]

My guy picks the locks to every door in every village he encounters. He has never stolen anything, I just keep thinking the skill will come in handy some day.

People don't seem to mind, they don't even notice all of their doors are forced.

Hey, join the club.

 

[Anthony Wells]

My character is an alcoholic imperial who steals sweetroles whenever she can. dunno why but i decided that being the dragonborn and facing certain death everytime she ventures out would make her want to indulge herself before she does so.
