Your Skyrim character quirks.

[Kizo18]

My character's most defining trait is his passionate hate for the undead, vampires and werewolves. He goes out of his way to kill them. He is very annoyed at not being able to kill the Companions after finding out about them.

Also stockpiling potions, because you never know when you will need that blacksmith potion, although he never even tried smithing.

 

[chinangel]

Artannis the Serpent is well known for drenching her swords in poisons. Her armor is sleek and dark, making her foes concerned that she may not be entirely human. She would have a terrifying reputation....

if she didn't hate goats so much.

She LOATHS goats. Perhaps because Morrowind has no goats, this dark elf believes that they are not of this world. For demons walk upon cloven hooves, with rams horns and heads of a goat. CLEARLY this so-called 'simple barnyard animals' are, in truth, gateways to damnation and despair.

Thus...Artannis kills goats. She will chase them down and butcher them without mercy and DAMN WHOEVER STOPS HER FROM THIS RIGHTEOUS AND NOBLE QUEST!

Thus it spoils her otherwise dread appearance when she breaks combat and goes screaming after a shell-shocked goat, intent on slaying it.

So now we've had over 200 Skyrim threads already, we're now discussing made up quirks on your made up characters?

Really people, there's a fine line between what's normal and what isn't, and you guys can't even see the line.

I concur. It's kinda odd to see people referring to them in third person. Isn't it your creation, therefore a virtual you? Weird.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

my character always uses his strongest weapon currently being used in his left hand (probably because i'm a leftie).
he alse steals so much that i need to go to three different fences to get rid of the crap i have (dont have a house yet...)
and he

Also, I try my best not to kill other Khajiit, I always cast a spell on them to calm them or fear them away, I'll be running slashing an orc to death with my Nettlebane and an enemy Khajiit is running away cause I hit him with a fear spell, or is looking at me like 'wtf' cause he's been calmed.

same here actually. the only other Khajiit i've seen are the traders, one 'Khajiit' who attacked me and Varsha, who i wanted to love and keep and hug and do depraved things with.

and he kills anyone who he can with no witnesses. Riften has got literally no patrols, just the garrison, because the dumbtards solo the crime capital of the northeast.

None really, aside from making regular trips back to Blackreach because it looks so awesome, and never using companions because all they will do is get in my way.

same here. i hated the mission with Mercer Frey because he doesnt have Light Foot and i do. i kept having to roll ahead to take out all the draugr so he wouldnt wake them. i also had to snipe all the fucking deathlords using him as a distraction (not his fault, he kept sprinting in!)
and the wanksock says I'M not stealthy.

My character's most defining trait is his passionate hate for the undead, vampires and werewolves. He goes out of his way to kill them. He is very annoyed at not being able to kill the Companions after finding out about them.

so basically, you're RPing a Vigil of Stendarr?

and apparently he can see dead people. not two minutes after i kill a guard, an uninteractable guard appears nearby.

 

[searanox]

That is not "your character."

That is you.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

I don't have skyrim yet, but I am playing Morrowind. Probably going to play the same kind of character in Skyrim too.

My Morrowind khajiit (swiftheart) is a bit of a compulsive thief...but not out of greed. See, he believes that everything belongs to everyone. So he usually only takes stuff that's useful to him, or leaves the original owner some of his valuables in order to be fair. Exceptions are guilds that I belong to (I raided the hell out of one of the mage guilds once, because they should really be sharing that stuff with me in the first place!), stuff in outdoor chests (if it's outside, it's for everyone! Why else would it be outside?), if it belongs to a jerk (he probably took it to hoard for himself! Greedy jerk....), or if the thieves guild asks for it (Read a book one time that said that the thieves guild is a group of friends who help each other! Of course I'll help my friends!).

He's also a bit generous. He spends a lot on bribes to make people friendly, and one time, when a bandit came up to him on the road and asked peacefully for his money, his response was "Oh? You want some money? Ok, sure! Here you go!". He also only kills if attacked, or if the guy clearly deserves it. Swiftheart HATES slavers. And cammona tong, those guys are rude and nasty, especially to his thieves guild friends!

Lastly, he's a recovering Sugar Tooth. After spending his youth under the influence (and spending much time in prison for it), and after finally "waking up" during his early days in morrowind, he's trying to stay away from moon sugar. He's afraid to slip back into his days of dreaming and not thinking again. That said, he has a bunch of it in his house (well...the one he's "borrowing" anyway...) that he can't seem to sell, and it's very very tempting....

Is that it? ....Oh, and he has a tendency to skip everywhere (faster than walking). That's pretty much it.

 

[SidingWithTheEnemy]

My character is obsessed with money. He wants it and he wants it badly, he wants to own Tamriel - financially.
He might Dragornborn, he might already slain tons of Dragons, but he does it for the Dragonscales to make those hyperexpensive Dragonbone Armour-thingys.
He is even an accomplished Master of the Arcane arts and maybe the first Orc Archmage in the history of Tamriel. But all he wants is to swim in money...

He rather goes smithing his Ebony Bows and selling them than looting dungeons. Maybe he wants to start his privately funded War against the Thalmor with a private army of mercenaries all clad in Dragon Armor / Daedric Armor or maybe he just wants to own them and buy their silly Aldmeri Dominion off their sorry arses.

 

[CRRPGMykael]

Well, my character is part of just about every guild in the game, so I'm pretty sure he's an indicisive prick (or has schyzophrenia). OK, that's not exactly what you wanted, but that's all I can think of...oh and I also can't ever walk away from a fight. Imagine some mudcrab is following me while I'm galloping on my horse. Obviously, I'm much faster than him so I could easily just get away, but I always end up getting off and killing that nigga's ass.

 

[Thk13421]

My Orc sometimes forgets that his daily racial power lets him turn from a competent and deadly warrior to a Steel-clad, bladed, screaming murder-demon pulled from the nightmares of children. He's funny that way.

Seriously, I cured my werewolfism because it seemed redundant when Berserk Rage did the same thing, but let me keep my mace and armor.

 

[EBHughsThe1st]

My character is virtual and has no personality or free will that goes past the confines of conversational options or my personal control.

But I did design as an orc that looks quite a bit like a homeless person.

Bill the Orc can't fight anyone without pointlessly shield-basing them. Even enemies where it has no effect.

He's an honest homeless dragonborn, though. He has yet to steal or kill someone for something, so that's...something.

 

[kommando367]

My high elf hordes a fuck-load of loot and only sells small fractions of it from time to time.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

I'm obsessed with eficiency, I take time to see which spells will have the most effect if I use an entire mana bar casting it, to the point where I only use like 6 of my 30 spells, I also heavily weight my items weight-to-possible-profit ratio, for every hour of adventuring I have 15 minutes of inventory management.

I also like to put on normal clothes and walk around and enjoy the scenery, catch some butterflies, a few fish, and pick flowers.

I don't like talking to people with my helmet on or my weapons drawn, it's just rude.

Like the OP I've got a sleep schedule going and don't adventure at night.

 

[ChocoFace]

My khajiit character is showing severe symptoms of cleptomania and ADD, but im sure many can relate.

 

[bootz]

I must get rid of every potato by eating it. They are teh yum. I eat them right away.

 

[JasonBurnout16]

Finally I won't ever travel at night, this is a mostly practial thing, but I also have to find an inn and sleep there. Somehow I've unintentionally ended up roleplaying day and night cycles pretty well.

So what are you're weird character quirks you've developed?

This happened to me too until I joined the companions. Then once I no longer got a bonus from resting I gave up and just wait now. It's quicker.

Quirk of my character: To always try and complete as many Misc tasks as possible. I hate having a long list of quests in my system and try and get rid of as many as possible. It looks horrible having so many quests. However this does mean I have only done like 7-8 important quests, 10 side quests and nearly 200 Misc quests...

 

[Unesh52]

My character has developed this odd quirk where he will occasionally freeze in place mid action and be unable to account for what he's done to his enemies. And now he has apparently acquired the power of a wind god because he insists on making this loud whistle-y noise everywhere he goes.

...actually, I think that might just be the ferocious lag on PS3 causing my game to glitch like a mother fucker.

 

[Denamic]

I think mine may may have some personality issues.
At one point, he's spreading the word of Mara, happy happy all around.
Then he goes and murder people, or sacrificing friends, for some daedric princes.
He's also an extremely kleptomanic thief.
Many are now walking around naked.
One would think they'd notice after a few days, but I guess I'm just that good.

 

[Inzeost]

So now we've had over 200 Skyrim threads already, we're now discussing made up quirks on your made up characters?

Really people, there's a fine line between what's normal and what isn't, and you guys can't even see the line.

I concur. It's kinda odd to see people referring to them in third person. Isn't it your creation, therefore a virtual you? Weird.

On the contrary, this is something people have been doing for years. Decades even. It's called role playing. You create a character and pretty much pretend to be them as you play. Might not seem normal to those that don't do it, but it's just another way to make the game more fun to those of us that do

Besides, if we cared about what's normal we wouldn't even be here.

 

[Pandabearparade]

Well, my current character is pretty standard Nordic hero stuff, with the exception that he has a severe gambling addiction (that has lost him his entire family fortune) and he's an alcoholic. He also doesn't have the magic-phobia most Nords seem to have.

I really wish they had some gambling mini-games in the cities. Seems like something the Khajiit would introduce.

 

[Joby Baumann]

my character is always wearing a chef's hat, it doesnt matter what the circumstances are, he just likes wearing it.
