Don't make your character something that's obviously based on some previously made character or historical figure

[Theodosiya]

Explain pls.

Don't make your character something that's obviously based on some previously made character or historical figure

Advice please. But make sure the name is Scandinavian.

[Tel Vanni]

Advice please. But make sure the name is Scandinavian.

If you just need a Scandanavian name, how about Olaf, Son of Olaf, Son of Olaf, Son of Olaf.

[Theodosiya]

Advice please. But make sure the name is Scandinavian.

If you just need a Scandanavian name, how about Olaf, Son of Olaf, Son of Olaf, Son of Olaf.

How about Harald Olafsson,Olaf Haraldsson? change the house name to Dragonfist?

[Tel Vanni]

I'd rather you didn't use the name of my maternal grandfather as your character.

How about Harold Dalinkulf?

[Theodosiya]

I'd rather you didn't use the name of my maternal grandfather as your character.

How about Harold Dalinkulf?

Dalinkulf? Isn't a man name in Scandinavian was his,then his father with -sson suffix?

[Tel Vanni]

Dalinkulf? Isn't a man name in Scandinavian was his,then his father with -sson suffix?

Not always. Nobles often had real family names and warriors often took other kinds of surnames, when they had something better to brag about than who were their daddies. Also, family names are the norm in Skyrim.

How about Ivar, ah but he's Ragnarsson. So,between Ivar,Ragnar,Ubbe,Halfdan,Harald,Sigurd. With Dragonfist as family name.

Then your name would be "Ivar Dragonfist." Or, if you want it to be pure Scandanavian, "Ivar Drageneve."

[New Aksarben]

One of my viking characters had the name Sigtrygg Karlsson Snjalli. HE was a prince of the Snjalli dynasty of one of my CK2 games, who went off to be a Varagian and never returned, so I use him as a character often in honor of that character.

So be it. Ivar Drageneve, son of Ragnar Drageneve.

[Asyir]

first I get soaked by rain so much I'm still wet three hours later, and then I almost get run over by a slut in a suv

Great day so far

I'd take the rain over the fucking snow any day.

Even though Minnesota has shitty winters, our drivers on the road still drive like fucking maniacs. I nearly got t-boned when a guy ran a red light.

[Asyir]

Then your name would be "Ivar Dragonfist." Or, if you want it to be pure Scandanavian, "Ivar Drageneve."

So be it. Ivar Drageneve, son of Ragnar Drageneve.

If you are going to play as an Ivar "The Boneless" clone, please make him as cruel and sadistic as the vikings were.

[Ameige]

Its a farming village. It wont have swords and shields over mantles. Thats stuff you find in rich peoples houses.

In Skyrim, there are a lot of old veterans who kept their swords.

Plus, the rorik guy was dead ages ago. The town was originally named rorik's stead, as in belonging to a guy that is no longer alive.

I'm sure he had kids. Notice, I did not give a first name. That is because I do not know the names of the current generation of Roriks.

I have not seen ingots in smithys in any town in the game except the ones with mines attached and a smelter, so no I dont think there will be any obvious ignots laying around the smithy.

And yet, the smiths still manage to stay in business.

Amulets and rings and whatever other holy symbols they have would likely count as either jewlery or knick nacks lying around their house. Vampire lady would have swiped those.

Amulets of Mara are special, as they are part of the marriage traditions of Skyrim. You'll find them in places where you wouldn't find much other jewelry.

A war veteran would be in a big city, not a farming community.

Veterans live where they like. There is no such thing as a place where no veterans live.

Soldiers go to war, not farmers.

Farmers go to war and become soldiers. When they leave the Legion, they return to their farms.

And no, in mideval times, which elder scrolls is based on, farming houses did not have more stuff in them than in most houses.

Farm houses have to have more stuff, because that is where all the work is done. Rich people may have all the art and jewlery, but but the poor have all the tools of their trades. Plus, farmers never throw away anything.

They were sparsely decorated small houses for poor people. Not much of anything in there.

Who cares about decorations? They have useful stuff, like tools, trade goods and food.

Now, as for the book title idea, probably not a good idea. The title would confuse people seeing as, as far as I can tell from the games, there are only two shades of dumner. dark grey that is almost black in the right light, and light grey like a dusty covered cabinet.

There's a color slider. You can make a purple Dunmer, if you like. I made a blue Dunmer with bright purple hair, for my Oblivion character.

Well either you got the collectors edition of oblivion or I need to re-play that game cause I don't remember there being a slider that turns dunmer purple or blue. And even if there is, its a game mechanic.
The lore websites make it clear that azura turned the chimer into the ashen grey dunmer.

Considering that the vampire lady is trying to make her helgen home and cracked dusk keep more livable, I think she cares about decorations and shiney things more than farmers tools and some spoilable foodstuffs she probably wont eat.
Though she probably would have stolen any trade goods she could fit in her wagon that were small enough in quantity or magnitude to not be noticed to be gone for awhile, if she could managed to swipe any without waking people up.
But I feel like most trade goods would be found in crates and barrels lying around the town so she could have easily swiped those cause no one ever seems to check those places for some reason.

Seriously, you can clean out all the crates and barrels in a small town in skyrim and as long as the guards don't catch you,
no one ever seems to notice. So I think that's sufficient trade goods to have been taken, right there.

As for the farmers to soldiers comment, think about this, have you ever seen a solider in the imperial legion say he used to be a farmer or that he has plans of going back to being a farmer after the war is over? No you don't. Once your in the legion, your in the legion. That's it. The games make it pretty clear the legion is a life time obligation and if you try to leave, you get thrown in jail for deserting or you get killed. At least that's what happened in the games anytime I tried to quit after joining.

The only way for someone to be a retired veteran is either if they are injured and cant fight for the legion anymore, in which case they would probably be too injured to farm either, or they are old, in which case they would be too old to farm as well.

So unless they have someone else living with them who is young enough to farm, I don't see it very likely that an old worn legion veteran would be in a farm town.

As for the smiths, metal doesn't have to just come in ingots. That just happens to be what people find mostly.
You can also find piles of dwarven scrap metal too you know, so there could be scrap metal of other things or old worn beaten down armor that can be melted down for its parts.


whatever else they are, amulets of mara are pieces of jewelry first and foremost. So they probably would have been swiped by the vampire lady.

As for the rorik family thing, I am just going to say she wasn't aware of such a thing and never found their house and just leave it at that.

Uhm. Not all Nords fought in the legions. I believe the Empire has Auxiliary Corps, and there is always provincial forces as well. A majority of Nords of this generation probably have seen some sort of fighting or combat.
