I honestly did not even know this was a thing but I absolutely LOVE it and I have to learn tarot now lol

These are for my tabletop games. First is Sinkir-Do a senche and his dagi wife Moasi-Ko. Second is Do'irra a pahmar-raht from the east empire company. And last is twin suthay thieves udahi and kessar from the Renrijra Krin.

Just became a vampire. I noticed this red symbol around the mouth, nose, chin, what does it mean? I have no warpaint or makeup on this character.

I mean yeah stealth archer can be fun, but whenever possible I prefer to go for the hitman approach of sneaking around slitting throats. It can actually be more effective since you can do 30x sneak attack damage. Thoughts?

Before the Great War, Talos worship was already deeply rooted in the Empire, especially among Nords. But after the Concordat, worshipping Talos stopped being just a religious tradition and became something political. Now it represents resistance to the Dominion.

People hide shrines in their homes. Heimskr openly preaches in Whiterun despite the risk. Ulfric turns the ban into one of the strongest symbols of the Stormcloak cause. Even people who might not have cared much about Talos before suddenly have a reason to defend his worship simply because an outside power is trying to erase it and historically, trying to suppress a religion often makes believers more attached to it. Martyrs appear, forbidden symbols become more meaningful, and practicing the faith becomes tied to identity rather than just belief.

The Thalmor obviously benefit from the political instability the ban creates. Skyrim fighting itself weakens the Empire, which works in their favor but there’s a strange long-term problem with that strategy.

If the Dominion’s eventual goal is to eliminate Talos worship completely, then they may have transformed Talos from an Imperial god into something much harder to erase a symbol of human resistance against the Aldmeri Dominion itself.

Not really the character I play, but me. Actions that were not put into the game, because there was not such a depth put into it. For example, I cannot marry Madesi, he cannot follow me on an adventure, I cannot even invest into his shop. So I just went into pickpocket option and gave him 2000 gold. And prolly not the last time I will do that, since Madesi is a good bean. Do any of you have similar "rules" or "rituals" that ultimately make no difference, but you commit anyway?

This maybe sound crazy but I swear you use to be able to make skyforge steel weapons at the skyforge was this changed in the versions of the game or is this related to quest progression of some sort with the companions. im not playing with any mods , and I do have the steel smithing perk

What makes this game so good from a game development perspective? Maybe I'm a boomer who is too set in his ways to get into new games, but I have gotten back into this game every few years since I first got the game in middle school and some my finest gaming memories as well as my wife's have come from Skyrim. What is the secret sauce? What makes this game so special to you?

My theory is its the immersion. When I first played Skyrim I was more used to complex RPG style games with combos, damage, and so forth. So when I played Skyrim and clicking the right trigger meant you swing with your right hand just felt so simple and realistic. The world is so vast, gorgeous, and just feels so... lived in. You can see the bandits food, sleeping quarters, and so forth every time you raid one of their dungeons. The shopkeepers and taverns just feel so homey, even with the cheesy NPC catchphrases (Some people call this junk. Me? I call it treasure.) Compared to similar games it puts a lot more emphasis on the role playing part of an RPG - less worrying about stats, combos, etc.

Why have other games failed to match up? Am I not active enough in looking for new RPG style games?

First job Farkas gives me after joining the Companions is to go punch the healer of Whiterun. And I had to ask myself, “is this character the kind of amoral scum that would pummel a selfless doctor for money?”

So anyway, that’s how I became a werewolf. (And probably a member of the Dark Brotherhood at this rate.)

Just thought it would be funny if this were the result of a Ghosts of the Tribunal part 2.

(replaced the shrine of Azura, with one of Almalexia)

For me it’s my current character Andralia a Altmer Necromage Vampire build. I do know Khajjit do make the best unarmed combatants, with their claws. But as I play on a lower difficulty for more superhuman lore accurate vampire shenanigans there’s not really a difference that much. And my favorite unarmed killmove is the choke slam or the unique one time heart chest rip out killmove you do. Although the Dentist appointment one is fun too.

New donut shop?

(And she’s there bc of the post-Dawnguard glitch, not bc of a mod, just bc I know someone will ask)

Familiar, Flaming Familiar, Flame Atronach (or Thrall), Frost Atronach (or Thrall), Storm Atronach (or Thrall), Dremora, Seekers, Boneman, Mistman, or Wrathman? For me, I prefer to use the Wrathman, as I prefer Necromancy over Daedric Summoner, and I feel that, without mods, the other summons are just too weak to be usable

Hello! I’ve been eyeing the iconic Alduin statue for some time now, and through browsing, I’ve seen a lot of variations of the statue, are there 3rd party/bootleg versions of it? The original has a reddish hue to Alduin does it not? I’ve noticed some of them have very flat looking coloring on the word wall.

(First pic is what i believe to be original, second is the lower quality one i see sometimes)
