Things you like (or don't like) about your character(s) Options

[Renee]

Just a simple list of things we like about our characters. You can even list things you don't like about them if you wish. They don't always do things that are agreeable to us, after all. Since I'm the one starting this thread, I will uhh... start.

Lady Saga, a.k.a. the Ranger from Valenwood



THINGS I LIKE

1). She's determined. There's something about her that's just so driven, it's a trait I often lack in real-life. Yet, despite her drive, Saga can also be somewhat...

2). Unfocused. She's got this random desire to explore all of Cyrodiil. She's been at it for years (and I've been exploring with her now literally for years, on three different platforms). Her 'random desire' is rather unfocused, though. I never know which direction she's going to wind up taking at any moment. While this can be true of a lot of our characters; a lot of them are adventurers, after all, there's something about my archer from Valenwood that always has me wondering a bit. She doesn't actually do many quests, nor is she interested in wealth or stealing or fame, or any of the other usual things some of my others are all about.

3). She's pretty. I'm proud to have created such a beautiful creature, using only vanilla tools at that, on PS3, Xbox, and PC. The latest version of Saga (on PC) is a bit grumpy-looking, but I think this suits her to some extent. She lives in a tough world, after all.

4). She's aged. The original Saga on PS3 was young and nubile. Literally a babe with a bow. When I started her game on Xbox, I RP'd that it was 5 years later, and on PC it's now 7 years later than 433. I think. With each new incarnation of Lady Saga, I've pushed the slider slightly further to the right.

5). She's good with a bow. It's not just me 'aiming' her shots, and pressing the buttons, it's also the fact that her combination of skills literally often points her in the right direction.

6). She's fond of wildlife. She's got a respect for the creatures of Cyrodiil.

7). She often shrugs social norms away. She's pretty, yet she's not afraid to get rude to an NPC if she disagrees with him or her. She's got a b!tchy side, I guess you could say. Again, this is a trait I admire, since in real-life I often must kowtow to some teachers, parents, and other such people in my life. Sometimes I just wanna tell some of 'em how I really feel, yet it's not always feasible to do so (and remain in good graces, socially). Saga could care less.

THINGS I DON'T LIKE (honestly, there aren't many).

1). She's rather frail. This doesn't really seem to matter most of the time, until it does. Up against a majority of stronger opponents in Cyrodiil, Saga must flee. This was true on PS3, and is even truer on PC with MMM going in her game.

2). She relies on poisons a little too much.

3). She was too much of an uber on Xbox (fixed on PC). This was really my fault, actually. Every stealth shot she made was virtually a guaranteed 1-shot kill. It's the reason I abandoned her on Xbox. Ironically, on PS3 I didn't have her Attributes as finely-honed, so on this system she began getting pwned a little too easily by the time she was Level 6 or so.

Mmmm. That seems to be all. How about yours?

Well, I've not had Eldrar long, but there are a few things I like about him:

For one he still has that new-char smell (Sorry, couldn't resist that one)

Okay, serious list:

I like that he collects every alchemical ingredient he comes across, even though he has no use for most of them beyond selling them to alchemists.

I like that he has absolutely no idea what to make of Nirnroots, so leaves them alone.

I like that Jeanne Frasoric is completely different in his world.

And I like that for him to be able to run long distance he has to cast a fortify fatigue spell because of the armour he wears.

Haven't found anything to dislike yet, but I'm sure they'll be something sooner or later.

I know what you mean. Exactly what you mean. There's something about a brand-new character who you don't really 'know' yet, beyond preconceived notions. My newest one is so new, I can't even really say what I like & don't about her yet.

... welll I do like the fact that Renee Gade III is sword & board. Nice to have somebody who can just rush in and bash some brains, instead of sneaking around looking for that perfect shot like Saga does. And if Saga gets it wrong, she pretty much sucks at 1-on-1 melee combat. Can't wait until she can summon things.

Things I dislike:

Kanet doesn’t connect with people. She’s an interested observer, but she isn’t touched by other peoples’ joys or pain. I’d like her more if she cared about something.

This one's really interesting. Wow. She sounds like my Mycharonna or Luci Pheria, except that Kanet doesn't seem as overly 'evil', perhaps.
