You just woke up in Tamriel...

[POMC S117]

... What would you do.

Take your age, strength and health into account. Don't just say I'd go and head butt Mehrunes Dagon, make it realistic.

You can wake up anywhere you choose, Imperial City, Sentinel, Vvardenvell, Anvil, Skyrim, anywhere.

Personally, I would go to the nearest city and hope that someone adopts me. I would cry over the loss of my family, but then I would amaze every one with my "superior" knowledge.

[Eltee]

Because everyone will believe the 13-year-old foreigner...

Anyway... I would go about learning a trade, like blacksmithing.

[POMC S117]

What I mean is that the knowledge we consider basic would be sophisticated to them.

[Eltee]

And what I mean is: Would they believe you? Think about it. What did they say when that guy said that the world was round? Apart from calling him a heretic, and burning his books? People, quite simply, don't like revolutionary ideas.

But that's not the point of this thread, is it? It's an interesting idea, in any case.

[POMC S117]

I understand. However, I could conduct an experiment and reveal to them the wonders of science.

"V=IR is Om's Law, now class what does this mean?" Class of school children blind in confusion.

[JVElEven]

In that world, electricity works differently , so you can't count on Ohm's law.

However, I would probably try to gain admission to someplace with a lot of books, and maybe get a job as a librarian.

[Johnthejedi24]

I am with the previous poster. I have a great love of literature and my interest in the ES lore may help me find a fairly comfy job in a library or bookstore archiving and cataloging material. That would be nice, because I doubt I'd make it as any kind of Mage or fighter type. Inam mor of the intellectual along with maybe the occasional menial or odd job.

[HatofMadness]

Id hide out and raise all my magic skills


Then i'd have a fighting chance of survival

[DerangedPickle]

Probably go to the nearest mages guild and learn magic, definitely the Anvil guild.

[TomDD]

I'd probably crawl somewhere, hiding from the ferocious mudcrabs, and attempt to survive. I mean, I'm 13, what else can I do? In fact, I'm a kid I guess, and they aren't allowed in the game, so I'd be an error, and probably appear as a yellow ! to NPC's!

Imagine -

Me (yellow !) : Hows it goin' dudes.

Gray Fox : Just chillin' man, wanna j.... WTF????

Gray Fox = Dumbfounded

[POMC S117]

Remember, you can spawn anywhere you want so the mudcrabs might not be there.

[Iamgoofball]

If I went there, I would try find my way to a city, and find a Mage's Guild.

[JVElEven]

Why would everybody go to the mages guild? You'd probably not even realize where you would have landed, and not know that there was magic in that world.

[Iamgoofball]

Scratch that...

I would look for a shelter, and stay there until someone sends a rescue team to find me.

[POMC S117]

Erm... You're in Tamriel. No-one knows that you're there. How can they send in a rescue team?

[Iamgoofball]

Erm... You're in Tamriel. No-one knows that you're there. How can they send in a rescue team?

I would probably think that I was kidnapped, therefore they would send a rescue party after me. How would I know I was in a different world. The only world that I would probably know is Earth, and I probably wouldn't think otherwise.

[POMC S117]

Ok, everyone spawns in Imperial City. Would you be able to tell that you are in Nirn then?

[Iamgoofball]

Find some food, find some water, "borrow" some items, use knowledge from having played Oblivion to make money and find good equipment.

[POMC S117]

Yeah. Do the Duplication Glitch on some armour!

[JVElEven]

I would probably note quickly taht so,ething was different , due to the styles of clothing, the armour wearing, and the walking lizards.

[Kerr]

I would have to join the mages guild. I would say the Skingrad or Anvil one. I mean it is a free and safe place to live with food. It would also allow me to learn a lot about magic.

[Trelares]

If I wake up in the imperial city, maybe just across the white gold tower I would clearly be suprised. But I don't know if I would want to stay there, so maybe I would try to crash the "world" .

Spoiler:

and it is oHms law, however most mages would be amused if you use something like a volta cell to create a few volt^^ even with a vandergraaf generator it takes you longer than a common mage to make lightning

[POMC S117]

Typo. But can you imagine this: Welcome everybody, to Nirn's First... Kettle!

[Vermundr]

I would go to Bruma and hang around with the Nords and stuff.
Also I would despair over the lack of toilets. Maybe build a toilet and become rich?
Toilet monopoly!

[Overwatch]

I'd become a bandit, robbing people on the roads. I'd have my camp somewhere in the forest and live cheap.

Or I'd move to Morrowind and join House Hlaalu.

Or just go bat**** insane from skooma hallucinations and live out the rest of my life in the Shivering Isles.
