This time, Skyrim…

This time, I’m going to play an Elder Scrolls game the right way.  I’m going to create an intricate back story for my character, and even if that story exists only in my mind, I will allow it to influence my character’s in-game decisions.  I am going to make choices that underscore my character’s innate understanding of racial politics in Tamriel, and as I progress from quest to quest, I will do so in a manner that acknowledges, nay, celebrates the sophisticated narrative tapestry that OH SHIT A BANDIT CAMP I’M GONNA GO CLEAR OUT THAT BANDIT CAMP.
