The Set Up

Having now read a few of these alternate styles of playing Skyrim I thought I'd have a go at my own. As in the linked story above I will be starting this game with nothing but some ragged clothes, an apple, an iron dagger and 20 gold. I will also take away his starting spells but not his racial power. Where my game differs is in the self-imposed gameplay rules.

Marius will do what he deems necessary to survive. This means stealing, fighting, exploring, the works.

Marius will try stick to a moral code, but he is a flawed character.

Marius will not take up major quests and if forced upon him he will try his best not to complete them. He will find his own missions and tasks to accomplish. Miscellaneous quests are okay.

And most importantly: If Marius dies, that is the end.

Above all I shall try to keep in character when making in-game decisions.

With that out of the way I'll go create Marius now. I wonder if he'll ever get to settle down and buy a house...
