Lissa in Skyrim, A Roleplayers Diary Options

[TrisRed]

Welcome one and all, and you over there, to this, my role-play tracker-keeper, journal, diary type thing.

I have decided to do a hardcore role-play with Lissa (Not DiD though... I'm a bit too cowardly for that!) and I am using this thread to keep track of my progress, and share my progress with you guys. I am aware I have a story thread in Fan-fiction but this is different. This is less storytelling and more 'Lissa did this and Lissa did that'. Her journey will be told in my voice (though I'm sure occasionally her voice will slip in!)

I will post updates frequently, possibly each time i play the role-play. I will include information such asfood eaten, hours slept, mods added and things like that.

These are mods I have installed to assist my role-play experience (I will find and add links later).

Requiem: This is basically a role-play overhaul mod. It adds various things to make a game more friendly and diverse for a roleplayer, such as non-leveled enemies, realistic item weight, complex spells etc. There's literally dozens of changes, so check it out!

RND (Realistic needs and diseases): Basically a hunger, thirst, sleep and disease mod.

Frostfall: Makes cold weather more affecting... no more hide armour in a blizzard!
I have added a bunch of minor touch mods such as realistic NPC mods and such, but those above are the main ones.

My screenshots will will posted how they are taken. I won't be spending all my screenie time time using the console to remove menus and use tfc as i feel it will break immersion, although i will try to impliment these when i can. Quick snaps will do for me! Also my system ATM isn't very high resoloution so my snaps wont be the best.

Now, a few tid bits about Lissa before I get started.

First, a Screenie

She is 23 years old, a Redguard and she is a Palatriss (Her own devised name for Paladin + Archress), specializing in Archery, Two handed (warhammers are her preference) and restoration. She only wears light armor, which is where the restoration comes in handy and she usually fight head on and suffers quite the beating!

You'll notice Lissa's entries are quite packed. She has never been one to sit around and do nothing. The only downtime she usually has is sleeping! She will spend most of her free days wandering around the wilderness, finding things to sell, keep or kill (I.E. Bandits). However, she is never usually one to dive head first into a dungeon alone. She always feels much more confident with a companion when it comes to dungeon diving.

She tends to eat on the go as, despite how confident she may be, she finds it incredibly awkward to sit and eat in an inn. Also she is a vegetarian, purely for the reason that she doesn't like the texture of meat. It makes her feel incredibly nauseous.

... that is all i'm willing to share for now! I am currently finishing up her first update... so watch this space! And I hope you guys stay and watch her progress for a long time This is gonna be fun, y'all.

Renee: HIIEEE!!! I look forward to your comments (and perhaps advice) and I really hope you enjoy the thread I am having a blast with my roleplay!

After a test play through I decided to remove Requiem from my game as, I won't lie, it was WAY too difficult to play. It had unleveled enemies which just did not suit my play style. I replaced it with SkyRe which, although still challenging, created a much more enjoyable play style for me.

Now, I tried several of the Live Another Life options to get a feel for which one would suit my roleplay and Lissa's story most. And below is it.

I will update my roleplay in chunks, rather than individual days. If there is any other information you are interested to see, please let me know

Finally there are no screenshots in the opening sequence as I simply got too immersed and forgot! Haha.

_________________________

In this game Lissa was traveled through a magical portal into the unknown, which landed her in Skyrim 200 years into the future. A thief had come into her house late at night and stole her precious guardian stone necklace. Lissa gave chase to the thief, who escaped into said portal. Lissa feels she was being lured to this portal for some reason, but all she knew was that she needed her necklace back, so she jumped into the portal.

ENTRY #1 - Sundas, 8:13 AM, 17th of Last Seed

Lissa woke up in a dark, dreary, death scented prison cell. The atmosphere was daunting, like she felt she was being watched.

Wait what? Prison... AGAIN! Ugh... I should really stop being so impulsive jumping into things... didn't learn anything after the whole painted world fiasco?

Lissa noticed how dark the area is, and bit her lip. She couldn't see much of anything. She knew a few light source spells which she attempted to cast but, for some reason, they wouldn't work here. She couldn't even feel the magicka flow through her body as she chanted the words. It's almost like the spell didn't exist anymore.

She paced about for a short while, thinking about what to do, when the answer soon slapped her on the face. Near the cell door she noticed three lockpicks.

She chuckled to herself for not noticing them before. I'm so silly sometimes. Oh my...

She grabbed them and jogged to the door and ducked by the lock. She pushed her long, thick, orange hair over one shoulder and attempted to pick the lock. After two failed attempts resulting in broken lockpicks, Lissa began to worry. If she failed this attempt she would be stuck in this cell. She wished she had a knife on her to break the lock*, a skill she learnt when she realized how awful she was at lockpicking.

One final attempt, with a shaky and a lot of lip sweat later... Lissa heard the click she craved, telling her she had unlocked the door.

"YES!" She bellows, followed by a jig like dance in celebration. She then stopped, realizing this was only the beginning.

She took a deep breath and slowly traversed up the stairs to be greeted by a well lit hallway, surrounded with individual cells. She saw a small table with a torch, a key and some gold coins. She took them all. She held the torch and lit it against one of the wall torches. At least now she could see in this dark hovel. She continued onward.

"I have you now!"

Suddenly a ghost was running toward her. Lissa was completely blindsided, and lightly panicked. She had no weapons to defend herself with.

She put up her free fist and hit the ghost, which was odd to her as she didn't imaging ghosts to be solid. She managed to evade and counter several of the ghosts attacks, before one final punch to the throat made the ghost evaporate into nothing. Did I win?... I guess so.

She continued through the prison, seeing several more ghosts in cages begging to be let out, which, again, made no sense to her.

She also found a few skeletons wielding weapons, but as they were swords, she did not take them**. She would rather fight unarmed than use a blade.

She travelled to a large room with many wardrobes and tables stacked around the walls. She assume this room to be some sort of prisoner item withholding station place. Rummaging through the wardrobes she found herself lots of goodies such as leather gauntlets and boots, a dress, which she equipped as the prison potato sack look wasn't doing her any favours, and a mace, which made her smile. Finally, a weapon I can bash with. She sighed, wondering what else the prison would have in store for her.

----------------------------

* In my game, and in Oblivion, If Lissa is holding a dagger in her inventory then she can open any lock, using console commands. A little bit cheaty, but I find lockpicking frustrating and I think it's pretty viable.

** Lissa never fights with bladed weapons after witnessing her Dad be stabbed to death with a sword. She doesn't ever want to feel the sensation of slicing a blade through flesh.

I like the fact that all her 3rd-era magic doesn't work anymore. Nice detail.

There is also a lock-breaking mod out there, I forget its name. But if you choose, you can find this mod. It allows you to use weapons to bash locks open, and it even includes a really loud CRUNCH noise if you're successful.

.. or you can use the console, that works too.
