About meEdit

Hello.

I started playing TES games when Battlespire was released, and have loved them since. I must have notched up several hundred hours playing Oblivion, and plan to do the same with Skyrim :)

In real life I'm a software engineer with technical responsibility for a key element of a core product; this leads to occassional over-analysis during gameplay - a beast I try hard to keep tamed!

How I playEdit

I usually play as characters with an alignment somewhere between Chaotic Neutral and Lawful Neutral. I favour stealth and ranged attacks because I prefer to silently observe and plan, and dislike being surprised. I fight with a bow almost exclusively, except at low levels when forced into melee - I find that bow attacks at low level are too slow and weak to repel enemies at close-quarters, even when strafing or backpedalling.

I am most often a Khajiit, since the sneak and archery bonuses suit my play style, as does Night Eye.

Skyrim has slightly altered the balance of using stealth since there are far more situations when you cannot be sure of someone's faction, and therefore disposition towards you, until you reveal yourself to them.

I am a completionist, and like to experience everything a game has to offer before I get too involved in a different game. This resulted in my playing Oblivion solidly for a year, and then regularly for another couple of years. I expect I will do the same with Skyrim.

My completionism instinct compels me to collect (almost) every usable item I find. At low levels this includes mundane weapons, but I am soon able to leave leather, iron and steel armor and weapons alone, and restrict myself to collecting anything that is enchanted or with a decent value to weight ratio. As soon as I buy a house, I allocate one container for each category of item, and an additional container for items I plan on selling.

I never sell enchanted items; they're just too... useful?
