Let's Talk About Characters Options

[Grits]

Ever since I saw the first character gen video I've had my heart set on a pot-bellied Argonian mage with blue feathers called He-Knows. Or maybe Picks-His-Nose. Either way he will have narrow shoulders, ample thighs, and a mead gut. I haven't read enough about classes and whatnot to predict anything else.

What are your ideas? What characters have you already made?

So now that the initial shock of a new game has worn off, I’m finding it’s possible to roleplay in this game after all. The breakthrough moment was in the inventory screen, funnily enough. Jerric had picked up some spoiled food somewhere, and the description of the item indicated clearly that it was disgusting, spoiled food. So Jerric ate it. And promptly threw up while still in the inventory screen. It was hilarious, and only Jerric would have actually eaten that spoiled food. I wonder if the other people who were milling around saw him barf or if it just looked like he was digging through his backpack.

Also Jerric figured out how to cook the fish that he caught. First you ‘use’ them in the inventory menu to clean them into the ‘fish’ ingredient, then you can cook them if you know a recipe. This is important to Jerric because the only things he knows how to cook are corn, some drink with comberries, and fishy sticks. It was killing him to have all of this fish in his bag yet still not available to him. Now he’s going to spend all of his time digging for worms and fishing.

Provisioning (cooking) and alchemy are the only crafts that Jerric is interested in, which is not surprising. When he saw that he could buy glyphs for enchanting he sold every bit of enchanting material he had gathered. He held on to some stuff to make clothing (light armor), but he is not spending any time studying the craft. Same thing with blacksmithing. He made a sword because he couldn’t find one, but somehow it’s too high a level for him to actually use. So he flung it into storage and kept his clunky mace. (Which is frost-enchanted and looks mistily cool I might mention, but he’s a bit sour on the subject of weapons right now so I won’t.)

In other news, the dye station started working, woo! I wonder if there’s a level requirement or if it just didn’t quite make the PS4 release date. Either way Jerric is happy that his gauntlets are no longer bright green. He might buy that ugly green shirt back and dye it a different color (grey) now that he knows how. He liked it because it was plain apart from the bright color, and most of the stuff he finds has fur sticking out all over. Jerric has enough of that going on without adding it to the clothing.
