I think Skyrim hates me.
I just committed a travesty. I fought the Ebony Warrior. Couldn't beat him. Dude was TOUGH. So I Tim'd. Now I can't stand having a headless character so off to the recycle bin she went.
Lets play Spot the Elf.

What do I win?
A Flame Atronach from Altimors personal collection.
Recently stolen, severely used.
And desperate for escape.

Passive mana drain when following the player, possibly higher drain when downed?
Also am I the only one who thinks that recipe looks like the H is an F?
My Skyrim is acting weird:

From the looks of things he was creating accounts to endorse his mods, even when all of his mods were already extremely popular.
Also he asked for his mods to be removed.
Anyone remember that weird thing on /vg/ where people would make their screenshots look like paintings?
I just found out how to do it, and I like it so much:

I'm gonna see if I can figure out how that filter is done so I can add a SweetFX shader for it.

It's called buzsim, Topaz labs have it in their topaz simplify plug-in for photoshop, unfortunately, said plug-in is 40$. You can make it yourself, however. Here's a tutorial using only 4 filters: [url]http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/30702904[/url]

So now I probably won't play it until they inevitably go free to play next year.

If I don't get into the beta shortly before launch (that way the build is as close to launch as possible) or they don't have a trial I'll be upset, I'd rather not buy the game to try it.
I think all MMOs should have free trials.
I've apparently hit my 255 mod limit. I don't want to delete my mods though, any simple way round this?

You could merge a bunch of your smaller mods.
Looks like Boris' rolled his memory management code for ENBoost back to 201 because he couldn't stand listening to Nexus posters complaining about it not working, when their problems were unrelated to ENBoost.
I'd bail out of there to if I had to read all that shit every day after spending hours trying to help players.

So the one in your avatar is a total slut then?
Who wants to write a short biography for my character? Not me. If you write a story (for the character's past and/or future) and/or a description of the character's personality, I'll probably use it. Might even put together a video of it all. If you're bored enough, here are some bits and pieces to work with.
[B]Malbus Nirnguide[/B]
- Half-Altmer, Half-Breton 450 year old male
- Powerful mage
- Fought for the Empire in the Great War (his parents were also killed during the great war by the Dominion)
- Is new to Skyrim
- Fights only in self-defense and for the good of Nirn
- Promotes peace
- It was prophesied that he would one day save Nirn and unite all factions of the world
- Collects Nirnroot
- Respects and trusts all gods as well as his own wisdom and intuition
- Is definitely Dragonborn
If you're not very creative and can't immerse yourself into your character, the worst thing you can do is have someone make the story for you.

No that's not it, I'm pretty creative and I don't have trouble being immersed into my character. I'm really just curious to see what people would come up with.
Anyway, here he is:

anderson your character idea sounds shit. You should be berated for your lack of creativity.
here's one for you: Jukius is a cynical and analytical dunmer who uses facial expression and theatrical movement as his primary form of communication. Living his childhood with a bunch of pricks Jukius decided that he doesn't want to be like the people who he despises and actively tries not to be like them. He kills anyone who talks too much about things that aren't interesting. Jukius Never dual wields weapons and never wears shoes or gauntlets. His ultimate goal is to attain the top ranks of society so that he can change what's beneath him. He also wants to live in a cave with a female that doesn't hate him, a female that does hate him, a scamp who plays music and a library. His most wanted weapon is the wabbajack,though he's fond of light weaponry. Jukius will never,ever kill a horker because his mother,who he never met, was often described as one. his favourite food is rabbit,flowers and cheese.

Interesting, creative, but nonadhesive and insubstantially random. But you have a point, the framework of my character is really unoriginal and boring. I'll think of something better.
While Malbus is generally well-received by most for his encouragement of peace among all, he hides a terrible secret. When he was first conceived his parents were condemned for polluting the Altmer bloodline with Breton blood, so powerful wizards placed a curse on him. On some nights when the planets are aligned just right, giant tentacles rise up from the ground and take control of his body (definitely recommend downloading Estrus for maximum immersion).
Forever disturbed by these violations, Malbus vowed to become a pacifist. But after arriving in Skyrim he has heard whispers and rumors of a stronger Aldmeri Dominion growing in the land, its wizards experimenting on the use of the tentacle creatures deep within Nirn to enslave all who stand in their way. Malbus changed his last name to Nirnguide and made a solemn oath to protect all of Tamriel from the tentacles which have plagued him all his life, and perhaps even find a cure for his curse.

If you ignore the part about a hatred for wearing shoes (or maybe change it to a hatred of wearing armour boots) It's not too far fetched actually. All of my strange points could be rationalised rather quickly.
Howabout you mod the game so that you play as a realy tiny character who jumps high and moves fast. Rollplay an imp kleptomaniac?

I actually did that once with a Khajiit, it was pretty fun. But at the moment I'm trying to figure out ways to make my Malbus character more interesting and fun to play as (without involving tentacles).
