Edit: I don't understand why this is still so popular. This thing has more views than my actual profile. And the majority of this is just lazy sketches. And I really hate how some of it came out. I don't know if I should be flattered because the attention or...

SO. Thanks to this game, I've become incredibly inactive. Skyrim, why you so much fun?
This meme was lots of fun too, though. And it shows that at least I'm still alive and can still draw.

Anyway, probably lots of spoilers for those who haven't played the game. I tried not to give away too much.

------------------------------------------------------

1. Of course I had to have a wood elf. Would my love of Legolas let me choose anything different for my main character? Also yes, it's Aimitis because I wanted an excuse to feel like I'm actually a part of the world. And you know what? No regrets.

2. Ok so I actually came up with a full backstory. But for a brief explanation: She grew up partially in Valenwood, but her and her family moved to Cyrodiil for safety reasons. When she got older, she joined a hunting group and traveled all around Tamriel. Eventually, they ended up in Skyrim, with the civil war going on, and she happened across a wounded rebel soldier while she was hunting away from the group. Not knowing that this Stormcloak rebel was from the big ambush at Darkwater Crossing, she tried to help him, but some Imperials looking for escapees found her. They arrested her right on the spot and the rest is history.

3. I love sniping everybody as I go through dungeons. So much fun. And duel-wielding is epic. Also, the Blades might be jerks but their swords are pretty awesome.

4. I am terrible at picking favorites but some others include: Farkas, Vilkas, Mjoll the Lioness, Iona (Honeyside housecarl. So many dragons slain together), Elrindir, Malborn (RIP bro), aaannnd Barbas.
As for the least favorites... Ok there are a number of Altmer/High Elves that are actually nice, but the stuck-up attitudes of the Thalmor just tick me off so much. I loved it when I got to slice the head off of a Thalmor Justiciar recently. So satisfying.
And the Black-Briars are just irritating to the extreme. I want an excuse to kill them all. Except Ingun. At least she's polite. As long as she doesn't end up like her mom/grandma/whatever their screwed up family ties is (the programming is off with them so it's a big mess). And can we add Nazeem to the invite list?

5. I was really stuck between actually getting married or being single for the majority of the game so I wouldn't have to worry about it. But somehow I fell for Valindor. I was looking for a Bosmer NPC to marry when I realized Bethesda hadn't programmed any Bosmer to be marriable (what the crap) so I went around looking for a one that I could cheat into marrying me and I wouldn't worry about it screwing up my game. And Valindor was perfect. He didn't really have a special purpose except to walk around the fishery and "repair" stuff while saying how homesick he was, so I figured marrying him was a safe move. I didn't like the way he looked at first (especially that half-shaved-head look) but after a while of going out to the Riften docks to see him everyday, everything about him grew on me. He's such a sweetheart. Now I couldn't imagine the game without him. Yay for console commands!

6. So many amazing quests! I'll probably find some I adore just as much later on but these are a few from the top of my head that I just loved.
Diplomatic Immunity -Sometimes I really wish I could play this again at the snap of my fingers because I loved it so much. I would love to see how I could go through with it differently. But hey, that's what other characters are for.
Ill Met by Moonlight - I didn't realize there was a secondary option when it came to this quest. But it's ok, I like how my character is completely immune to poison in the Savior's Hide (despite how wide it makes her shoulders look). It's funny how my character ended up being turned into a werewolf later on. Karma?
Blood on the Ice - Good ol' murder mystery. Almost screwed it up but in the end I caught the killer. Loved the ending.
Proving Honor - The quest that made me realize how much I loved the Companions. There was one part I had to keep doing over because Farkas doesn't know the meaning of "sneaking" and I couldn't handle all those Silver Hand at one time. And the last part... so many Draugr ;___;

7. I love my fellow warriors and the questline had me sucked in. I do wish some would respect me more now that I'm Harbinger, but oh well. Also, Ria glitched up or something and attacked me for no reason when I returned after the Purity of Revenge. I am so confused ;;

8. Pretty sure that if I showed up one day, I would end up looking through her stuff to find shiny things and then I'd ask her to teach me to fight. (Sorry, this is my first TES game)

9. Yep. Pretty much everything. Kill cams are the best though. I get a kick of adrenaline every time.

10. Glitches are the most annoying things in the game. The worst is when I load up my game and I'm in a dungeon or something and everything is white, me and my follower have lost our hair, I can't tell where I'm going, etc. etc.... Then the next most annoying is when this one horse of mine gets "resurrected" after dying but doesn't register that it's my horse and tries to go back to Riften every time I get off it.
And being a werewolf is both fun and annoying. No resting bonuses but I can kill stufff (*coughpeoplecough*) and not get a bounty. Unless I change too close to a witness. That's where the 1000 bounty comes in. I thought it was from changing too close to Riften the second time I tried out my beast form, but it may have been from a certain quest in Markarth. I am so confused when it comes to my crime stats it's not even funny. Why do I have one murder? I never murdered anyone! I got framed for a murder but I'd think that stat would be cleared when my name was cleared...

11. AMAZING. No matter how many glitches I face.

I talk too much. I am so sorry but this game makes me ramble because it's too awesome.
