My first was with Morrowind, I was over at a friend's house (THANK YOU ANTHONY!) when he showed me Morrowind. So after watching him go around killing everything in sight for a while I asked if I could play, "Yeah in a sec" was his responce. TWO HOURS LATER Finally he gets of his PC and lets me try, so clicking new game I insert my fav. name at the time (Plus I got it from a book set it in medival times) and enter the world of Tamriel for the first time. So after being comepletely blown away I set out to explore Seyda Neen. Now while Anthony was more of the kill first think about the guards later type, I played slightly more intelligently. Being a thief I entered Arrills Tradeshop and did the first thing a thief would do (Being a stupid one I mean), took the silver shortsword, needless to say Anthony thought I was going on a mass killing spree and advised to to kill the Altmer shouting at me. Now I normally won't give in to his advise, but I had no idea as to what I should do, thus I drew my sword (After equiping it I mean, sorry but that sounded cool.) and failed in my attempt to slay the High Elf. That was my first and second lesson in the Elder Scrolls, level one thief's don't commenly win against anything, and never listen to Anthony. So tell us yours, or I will send Anthony to you house... P.S. I meant to add this in above, but that was also just before my 15th B-D so with my B-D money I bought Morrowind for X-Box.

Oh okay, you had a lot of the same consoles I did. I had an Atari 2600 (1983-ish), Atari 7800, and original NES (1989). After that, I went into a Dark Age with my gaming; didn't do any gaming during the '90s at all, unless I was at a friend's place who had a Sega or whatever. And then I was homeless by choice for 8 months in 1999-2000. Yes, by choice. I went through a phase during which I got sick of paying rent to live in some box. Hippy stuff. I lived in an old van, but I also had a lot of friends in those days, so I'd often crash at one of their places. Lara Croft is one of the people who got me out of this weird phase. I had a friend who had Tomb Raider on Playstation, and I was baby sitting his kids one day, and one of them was playing Tomb Raider, and I was like .... totally blown away, because I had not been keeping up with what was going on in the world of videogaming. Last I saw was isometric & side-scrolling, I had never seen one which featured 3D before. And also, the tombs were HUGE. I couldn't believe they fit all those tombs on a compact disc. So I had this sudden desire to have my OWN Playstation, you see? And to have this, I needed my own place to live again. Lara Croft .... she saved me.

Very cool life story, I'm glad for Lara then so I was able to meet you! Yeah, I had Atari too, but kind of don't count it because the only thing I did with it other than a few really boring games was to program messages and lightning on the TV to mess with my husband. *Lightning flash, thunder roll* "Steve, pay the electric bill..." *Lightning flash, thunder roll* This post has been edited by mALX: Oct 24 2015, 07:20 PM

Lightning on the TV? Yeah, the Atari connected to the TV, and you could program codes into it and commands; one of the first things I learned was the different code strings to make visuals and sound - the easiest to learn was the one to make lightning crackle across the screen and a thunder clap. The easiest thing ever was to use it to post messages across your TV screen; so if my husband hadn't fixed the running toilet and there was a game on, I'd set it up so when he turned on the TV all he'd get would be the lightning and thunder; then a message to go fix the running toilet (then more lightning and thunder, etc). And he didn't know how to make it stop showing that, so he'd have to call me to shut it off so he could watch his game, I was just messing with him, I'd shut it off even if he didn't fix the running toilet, it was just to tease with him.

QUOTE(mALX @ Oct 1 2016, 07:32 PM) Is Khajiit enjoying exploring all of Tamriel in one game with ESO? It is like a combo of Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim all rolled up in one game; with a bit of Arena/Daggerfall/and Redguard but with today's awesome graphics.
Not yet! This one hopes to get it when Steam has its next sale, since Khajiit will be saving money by not buying Skyrim: SE on the PS4 console, opting instead for just the free PC version. QUOTE(Renee @ Oct 1 2016, 08:00 PM) I love how Khajiit refers to himself in the third person. This one is perhaps a little eccentric Lol Khajiit may allow the other guy to take over for a while.

Lol, that image is perhaps a little too... bright, for this one's tastes. Khajiit took this username from an early Morrowind character that was based off of "The Cheshire Cat" from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. He was a Khajiit Nightblade named "Cheshiir". A few different avatars have been used since first joining the Bethsoft Forums, including a screenshot portrait of a Cathay-Raht Khajiit warrior (obtained using Westly's Khajiit Diversity mod), an image of a crooked toothy grin and two green cat eyes on a black field, and finally this image of Maahes. This one adores this particular image because of its antiquity and that it seems to fit with Khajiit culture so well (it could just as well be how Ancient Khajiit would have portrayed themselves on their temple walls!). Khajiit has determined that this will be his avatar from now on. Which platform do you play TES:O on, if you don't mind Khajiit inquiring? It might would be nice to have allies when this one finally gets it for PC. This post has been edited by TheCheshireKhajiit: Oct 3 2016, 07:10 AM

Thank you, it's good to see someone else appreciates a bit of mythology! Khajiit will look for you in Tamriel, 2E, when the time comes!

It has been very cool meeting everyone's characters after years of hearing them talked about on here and at Bethesda - it really is like you come to know them in reading the fanfic stories about them, etc. And then to meet them and see them doing things just like you read about them doing = Awesome. I love that game! QUOTE(SubRosa @ Oct 4 2016, 12:38 PM) I have been saving the names Sekhmet and Pakhet for future Khajiit characters.

Ooh, Sekhmet = warrior goddess of healing - really nice one!!! I got a kick out of Pakhet ("she who scratches") , now THAT sounds like the Khajiit guards in ESO! Their threat to you if you are misbehaving in their town is, "Where words fail, claws flail" - I laugh every time I hear that, lol, This post has been edited by mALX: Oct 4 2016, 05:55 PM

All black Khajiit with the jaguar/cheetah spots running around with a dragonbone warhammer!

I usually try to pick a name that is reflective of my character's nature. For example, Persephone is undead, Hecate a sniper (Hekate was called The Far Darter, for her ability to slay from over a distance with magic), Cailleach my Winter Soldier, etc... The various jaguar gods are great for shamans or warriors alike. Not to mention hand jobs from women you don't even know... This post has been edited by SubRosa: Oct 5 2016, 12:13 AM
