I love the randy savage mod for dragons.

I refuse to kill Paarthurnax. He's far too awesome. I like the blades but not enough to do that.

There is a nice mod for the PC version that fixes that railroading.

Question:

Your rules omit swimming, so how could you kill an Argonian who flees to the water?

Yes, I think about these things.
Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die, and be free of pain, or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!

Yes, I think about these things.

Under the game's rules, or as per the established rules of the secondary world (TES)?

As per the first: cast underwater breathing, wear a charm of underwater breathing, cast a destruction cloak spell... and I really don't know why they stopped allowing you to attack underwater, weird move on their part. Really, if there's a safe place in this game: it's in the water. But conversely: they're not about to beat you down in the water either.

As per the second: Good fucking luck catching an Argonian in the water. Not happening... maybe you're a mage and the water might conduct a lightning spell a little ways, but it'd have to be pretty potent if you want to kill them. An arrow might catch them as they go into the water, but it'll lose power quickly if they get so much as 2 feet below the water. Argonians are significantly stronger than any other people when it comes to war in marshland, swamp, and sea... even at the height of it's power, the Empire conquered some fourth of the land of Black Marsh. If it wasn't for the slaughterfish and the naga and all those other baddies: the water would be pretty safe.

But in the secondary world... I really wouldn't escape into the water. I mean... I'd have to be pretty damn sure of death out of the water. Slaughterfish, diseases... getting wet... ugh.

That's essentially the secondary world (TES universe). That is to say "I accept these truths as a part of the world... the world must act according to its truths"... immersion and all, yknow.




These rules make the game way more fun, from an immersion standpoint... and function more as the world would if I were living in it.

I just made a new character modelled after Ser Jorah from Game of thrones. I'm actually amazed how uncannily similar he looks to the actual guy who plays him. I'll be doing most of the 'roleplaying rules' you listed Vae. I do really wish Skyrim put in some sort of survival meter like they did for Fallout NV. They put in all these different foods and drinks into the game but they all pretty much serve one bloody purpose (REFILL STAMINA FTL).

Also, going to try legendary mode. Don't know why, I usually end up dying several times playing on master...
