Well i had a character - stacy , and she was so interesting . She changed my belief that there is a "no turning back" point , she was very dramatic.
We started off as a young , pretty and optimistic young lady , decked out with silver claymore , full chainmail and the blessing of the nine divines..she was a textbook pilgrim , and my orginal intention had been for her to go through the KOTN questline
we got to anvil , the one thing she needed before her pilgrimage was a white stallion - 4000 gold!
She spent over two months in anvil working steady routines with 4 jobs AND juggling quests and free time as well . She worked as a bar maid + lived at the flowing bowl . worked as a lighthouse keeper , a cleaner for the inventius's and had a monday/saturday job at the counts arms . her free day was sundas , usally spent questing or relaxing
It was hard work , but oddly satisfying , slowly she made it and got the horse
But by the time she had her pureness had been dimmed , she had been degraded by sailors and the working class life . had done things she would of prior to arriving unacceptable , i sensed a change in her.
After that we went to the gold horse courier , and did a half-dozen jobs there . hard work but the pay was decent. But then , whilst on a inn job to the fargyll in , her stallion was savaged by a boar..suddenly it all felt so worthless ...the horse was dead barely a week after purchase.
It completly unhinged her , she went nutty for a while , she continued on foot , and when she got there ? a massacre ensured , seven people were left dead , 2 locked themselves in there room , begged for mercy but she just slaughtered them . It actually disturbed me , it was that violent.
After that she got so drunk she almost died , and ended up walking along the gold road drinking from a wine bottle...it was a very powerful scene ..i felt her sorrow and shock
She was picked up by a forester and slapped in irons and served a long sentance in anvil jail , when she got out she went to the prophet asking for a new map...she didnt get it
so she went over to the dark side, she signed up for the dark brotherhood . She got far in , enjoyed it , but the final straw came at "whodunnit" . She couldnt kill nels or the breton woman . So she unlocked the door and they all fled to highrock , where they lived the rest of their days out as happy nobles..
but like i said , she went from bad to evil to saint to good . It was a rollercoaster but finally she renounced her dark ways , intense character .
