You guys reading my Skyrim stuff

[telophase]

This is a comment I made to someone, but I'm putting it here, too, because it's what got me wanting to play Skyrim in the first place, realizing how much of a sandbox it was that allowed you to play how you wanted:

If you haven't read it, you need to read Living in Oblivion and The Elder Strolls. This dude played Oblivion and then Skyrim as if he were an NPC: avoiding adventure, trying to make a living, find a home, etc.

Living in Oblivion (reverse chronological order--you'll need to go to page 5 and work backwards)

The Elder Strolls (links to the series, which was published on PCGamer.com)

And then there's Skyrim: Week of Madness in which a guy runs Skyrim with ALL THE MODS. (5 parts, links to the others at the end of that one.)

"Look, it’s a hotel. They expect you to take the folded cloth. I also snag a sweet roll off a table in the hallway before heading downstairs to the somewhat crowded lobby. I’m still a little peeved at the cost of the room and I’m determined to make up for it."

This is disproportionately funny.

It kind of made me want to play as an NPC, but given all the walking involved...no thank you! Murderface will happily do whatever quest strikes his fancy.

XD

Alas, I realized after posting this that the link to part 2 (and maybe the others?) is broken, but searching on the site should bring it up.

edit: and I tried it now, and the link was un-broken. Ah well.

The giant avatar-like screenshots originally had dialogue appended to them, I think, that's missing since whatever website updating they did.
