If you lived in Skyrim ...What would you do??

[Tarandus]

I would most likely be a higwayman and team up with some bandits and roam the roads, till we spend all our hard earned septims on honningbrewmead

[Jygalagg]

Rob Peoples and stuffs like that.

[EarlJ]

I have several answers for this, with varying degrees of seriousness.

1) I would want to be a kid. You know, a totally indestructible immortal who can stand in dragon fire all day and night and laugh it off. As an added bonus, annoying adventurers with absurd sneak and pickpocketing skills wouldn't be able to even think about nicking my stuff as long as I have it on me. Sure, the orphanages suck, but I hear the Dark Brotherhood can be pretty receptive...

2) What would I do? Probably reload my last save a lot.

3) I don't like being cold, so somewhere like Riverwood or Falkreath would be a good starting place. I'd chop wood until I had the coin for a bow. Then I'd venture around the edges of town hunting and gathering flowers and other alchemy ingredients. I happen to know that potion-making can be quite lucrative, so that's the real focus... the archery is just to give me an offensive option (at a distance, because I'm not that brave and would prefer to sneak attack), and potentially get the occasional hide (which allows me to practice smithing). And all my time selling my crafted wares to vendors will help raise my speech skill...

With the spare coin from selling off my potions, I have a few plans...
Firstly, buying the cheaper alchemy ingredients from the local merchant to maximize my wealth while I wait for the plants and stuff I've harvested to regrow. Secondly, to cover my living expenses at the local inn (I am *not* sleeping in the wilderness in Skyrim). Thirdly, to improve my equipment when something better comes along. And finally, to invest in training in those skills that are necessary, but that I absolutely do not want to raise the hard way until I have some reasonable skill in them (one handed and/or armor come to mind). I'd love to practice pickpocketing so I could get essentially free training, but I also enjoy not-jail so I probably wouldn't actually do that...

[Dark Spark]

I want to be a cook.

[Poohunter]

I'd kill ALL the thalmor!

[Theofratos]

Before all else, I'm moving somewhere cold, then go from there.

[Elenath]

I'd study magic in Winterhold, or perhaps become an alchemist.

[Travalanche]

First I would learn enough alchemy to craft a decent invisibility potion then I'd search for leads about people that own rare weapons/armor and then break into their houses with an invisibility potion and The tower stones ability or while they were inside and sneak into their closet if it was too complex then come out at night and steal it while they are sleeping then kill the owner with a heavily poisoned weapon or arrow and steal all of the valuables then I'd become a member of a band of mercenaries and make a large amount of money while wearing nearly impenetrable ebony or daedric or live a life of luxury if the home I sacked had enough coin.

[Hissien]

Honestly i would probably be a hunter and open a shop somewhere in Falkreath, Riften (even with the crime) or Riverwood. Or i would be an Alchemist and sell cures and salves to the people of my city and even take care of those "discreet needs".

Yeah, Riften is the best place to hunt and fish but the Thieves guild would bleed you try regardless of whether you were a member because they'd want a cut. A good solution would be to loose an arrow through the leaders eye unless you were already in charge when you opened the stall lol.

[Mod-Loving Wood Elf]

I would be a mellow, leader-following citizen and buy a house, get married, and find a good, safe job.

Nah, I would actually start a warband, kill all who oppose me, take over the entire province of Skyrim, and live the rest of my days sitting on a golden throne on top of a giant dragon being fed grapes and sweet rolls from lusty Argonian maids.

[Frogmander]

I already do

NORWAY REPRESENT!

[mehclalin]

I would either be a farmer or run an inn/tavern.

[tygerarmy]

Train as a guard, become one of Ulfric's rebels then join the Dark Brotherhood.

I may end up a crazy follower of Sheogorath.

Or I'd end up being that guard that says "Psst, I know who you are.... Hail Sithis."

[Ripcage]

I would approach a certain Jarl without summons and tell him to take his 'Stormcloak rebellion' and shove it where the the light don't shine... By then I'd be killed so I'd be prey for any Necromancer to raise. The end.
Honestly though, I'd probably start a drug operation, make a bunch of skooma, then pollute the water of Whiterun with it... THEN BOOM! Whole towns gone loopy.

[DikaSmausha]

I can't understand why everyone hates Ulfric just because of his beliefs. That is ridiculous.

[Ava]

I'd try to get myself apprenticed to an alchemist Or work on a farm, if that failed, I suppose. And worship Daedra.

[Riothamus]

Move.

Yeah...probably to a province a little less war torn. I'm thinking High Rock.

[DikaSmausha]

I think Cyrodiil, without all their damn battles, would be best.

[Pilaf The Defiler]

I can't understand why everyone hates Ulfric just because of his beliefs. That is ridiculous.

I think it's more people hate how he actually allows people to live in squalor in his own city rather than hating the man himself. Not everything about him is bad, but the living conditions of many of his own subjects are needlessly horrendous. If the problem is that he doesn't have the time, money or resources to give the Argonians and Dunmer a better place to live, then waging a futile war against the Empire doesn't help his treasuries stay full now does it?

[Br3admax]

I like how everyone says that they hate rumors, but then uses rumors as a reason to kill someone. Genius, is it not?

[Red Guardian]

Assuming that I'd have "real-life skills": I'd become some sort of mercenary/thief and/or a wandering bard. Before dying from the endless cold of the wastelands, or the roaming bandits/beasts, that is. Would try to study the TES lore and mythos in my free time.

Assuming that I'd have "in-game skills": I'd become one of them many warriors and spread chaos throughout the lands.

[shu]

Supposing we can pick a race, I'd be a Breton, so if moving home to High Rock is not an option, I'd study at the College. The first spell I would learn would be Flame Cloak, so I don't freeze to death (don't like cold) and I'd kill lots of bears for their pelts so I can have the tailor sow me a coat and other warm clothes.

[Vendetta]

I'd be a slave peasant that can't do anything interesting in his life.

[Believe]

I'd be a troll.


Trollin' would be a sweet occupation.
