How many characters have you made in Oblivion? Options

[mirocu]

Some time ago I made this topic at Bethsoft and included a rather poor poll. This time I won´t do it so all you have to do is give me a number on how many characters you´ve made in total in Oblivion. And yes, I demand an exact figure! No "more than a hundred, mumble..." b-s here!

Kidding

I really don´t need to tell you how many I´ve made, do I?

Anyways. Give me your two cents Septims!

I have not read all of this thread but I can see that there have been some issues. Whatever, evidently it's reopened and I hope everyone's friends again.

For me, I am now interacting with my second character in Cyrodiil, albeit a reluctant one - (she would rather be someplace else).
Personally I never thought that I would ever have more than one, so Eilidh is a pleasant surprise.

I do not lightly "create" characters in games as I think that once you bring them to life you owe them something until they end, but that's just me.
If you have one or many it should not matter, you get out what you put in and that's all.

Maybe you have multiple characters to explore different facets and dynamics. All good.
Maybe you have one, or a few, that you nurture and develop organically. Equally awesome.

Whatever works, works.
And that's it.

No worries, we've got that behind us.

This is awesome. I've always wanted to see what would happen if some of the 'married folk' decided to start dating, or go all the way and re-marry somebody else. :wink:

Well it's early days for marriage, but I am having a good time getting to know her, so who can say?
Princess Grumpy could fill the hole left by You-Know-Who...

[edit] Niamh's story ended because it ended. She exists only in memory as an individual who once lived in Cyrodiil, for a time. Her impact on other inhabitants may continue, as tangentially Eilidh might notice, but she will not.
I will not lie, intellectually I found it "difficult" when she died as it was not what I expected, genuinely. But no one lasts forever; not me, not her, not anyone.
She is gone and the time for looking back at her is over. Now someone new has arrived in my imagination and in the gameworld. Will they fill that gap? Time will tell, but I am pretty positive they will; Eilidh is a spoiled Princess, but she is also a hardened and feisty warrior.
I have a feeling that she is going to to be a lot of fun.

Quite how, remains to be seen...

Princess Grumpy

So, your second Oblivion character. This was quite surprising I have to say, but not unwelcome I look forward to what she will do in Cyrodiil and I hope for my sake you decide to also make some shorter slam-bam thank you ma´m posts too

Yeah, you may well get your wish, M. But who knows...?!

Good closing on Niamh there. You put it quite well; no one lives forever. Strangely enough though I feel like I needed to say goodbye to her while I could and now it´s too late... Oh well

Yeah, you may well get your wish, M. But who knows...?!

I hope I do. I like a good story don´t get me wrong, but I find it easier to keep track of a character through shorter updates
Needless to say though, I don´t wanna be the guy who holds back your creativity or anything. Maybe Grumpy (I´m gonna call her that now! ) deserves her own fanfic thread like Niamh?

Btw, how in god´s name did you come up with her full name?

We'll see, she is a different kettle of fish to Niamh; a different character entirely, so it's more than possible that updates could be briefer. She has baggage, but not in the same way - then again...
Time will tell
She will absolutely have her own fanfic thread yes indeed; Eilidh daughter of Mac Auley is a character whom I have every confidence in.

As for her name?
Well, at the risk of being a bit crass, that's her name. It genuinely is who she is: she is a Princess from across the Ocean. Daughter of a king. This is what her name reflects - (there's an upcoming update about this).
I think the two of us are going to have some interesting times...
