Which means I'm still keeping an axe on my hip and a bow on my back.
For a game about dungeons and dragons, I sure like to keep my fantasy-fiction real low.īut it's time for something new. Aside from being an outright racist towards NPCs, I've become more and more like the xenophobic Nords with each playthrough. With more recent characters I've become even more magic-phobic, using only iron and steel weapons and armor, no enchantments, and only bowls of homemade soup to keep me healthy. My first and only complete playthrough of Skyrim's main storyline was as a 'sword and board Nord.' Meaning that I used a melee weapon and a shield. I've dallied with the idea, but I've always appreciated a more hands-on approach to dealing with enemies.
In nine years of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim-or as I'm going to start typing it, SKVRIM-I've never been a mage.
