Just another introduction

[Ocato]

Hey guys. I stumbled across this forum the other day and it really interested me.
I've been an atheist for about 4 or 5 years which doesn't seem like a lot but then again I'm only 16. The more I learned in school the less I believed in god. I remember saying that I'd believe if there was a sign and there never was. I think the final push towards atheism was in middle school when I got there early on a day "campus life" was praying. The door was locked and they wouldn't open it. They told me I had to pray to go in. I didn't want to be ridiculed for not doing it when everyone around me was a southern baptist so I stood with them(It was winter and I wanted to go in.) Luckily I go to a liberal arts high school where I've found friends that share similar views as me. After I took a world history class and found out more about world religions I realized religion went from being a way to explain things to a way to control people.
Anyway so here I am. I go to school for music. I'm more interested in computer science, environmental science and botany though. I'm teaching myself how to program in java and c++ and enjoy playing rpgs(from dungeons and dragons to skyrim)
(If anyone was wondering the name comes from Oblivion.)

Sorry for the long post.

I love the Breton avatar, always nice to have a fellow Elder Scrolls fan come along.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Thanks!
Bretons are my favorite race to play as. I've played through almost every TES game as one.

I prefer the Dunmer.

Dunmer are very cool. I found it odd that they lost their marksman and blade skills in skyrim though.

Skyrim's whole levelling system was redone so I didn't really notice if they did or didn't. The whole thing with the skills in Skyrim was that they were balanced so that you could be as good at whatever you want no matter the race you play. Which I thought was a good thing. Certainly it was a much better system than Oblivion

I remember my first character on oblivion was a nord custom mage thing and by level 10 I even had trouble with mud crabs!

There never is.

Nice to meet you, young fella.
