On top of that the Witcher season 2 came out and I've been inspired by Ciri's training towards becoming a witcher. I got the idea for her backstory last night but have a problem with what skills to use.
   
  my rough idea is that she's been found by Isran after a vampire raid. He took her with him and adopted her as his own. She's then been learning to fend for herself at for Dawnguard, learning everything there is to know about fighting monsters - especially vampires. 
  Growing up with Isran as her adopted father makes her easy to relate to Serana because they're both caught up in their fathers' personal vendettas.
   
  I'm thinking a character like that will have learned to stay light at their feet, remain hidden but also know how to swing a sword, once her cover is blown. My problem is the skills i'm thinking will make a too wide-spread.

So I'm working on a character in Skyrim that I intend to play a bit - a shaman type - and one of the quirks of the character is their reliance on divination to make decisions, a way to keep some of the personality in the typically mundane goings-on of gameplay.
  
  I currently have two ideas. The simpler one is Blood Reading: in a moment of simple choice selection or snap decision making, such as deciding a direction to go or option to pick, the diviner will simply use the pattern of bloodspatter to decide. Typically, this will require creating a new spatter near the point of decision. Any source will do. Usually the corpse of an animal is ideal, but humanoid corpses work, or even one's own blood if the situation necessitates. Get it any way you can, most easily with a simple stab at the body, but auto-exsanguination may require external aid such as a trap. Of course, followers are also chock full of the stuff! Just be careful not to be too demanding, they may not be so compliant the third retry. If...    less

I recall doing a playthrough some time ago based on a Mechanicous Tech Priest, a high INT build that focused on building Robots to fight for him, but also was realiable by himself with a Modified Plasma rifle and in Melee with the eletrified Buzz Blade. I'm actually theory crafting a new build for my next playthrough based on an Ork Warboss, my concept is a High Cha/End character with low Intillgence and the Idiot savant perk, Maxed out damage perks and an utter tank, with just enough points to build up strong holds across the wasteland. Here's what I had drafted up and I wanted to get some pointers, I've built it some to level 50.I've tried to replicate how Orks utterly love high output of lead and Dakka,but also make sure to capture their love for Melee. I kinda capture their unique ability to make anyt...    less

I went into this game armed with only my love of werewolves and nature coupled with a hatred for anyone who dares destroy this wonderful planet we've been given. This game checks both boxes for me and then some. This game takes place in the world of darkness where the world is a parrele to ours, the only difference is that the world contains werewolves, vampire, mages and demons. The game of which I speak is the first game in the francise to have the RPG tag.
  
  The Story
  Cahal, a member of the Fianna garou tribe (Irish werewolf) gets exiled after he kills another tribemember in a fit of rage after seeing his wife killed by a werewolf of a rival tribe. The main enemy of the game, an oil company called Endron, is threatening Cahal's caern (home of sorts) so Cahal's former pack decides to try a put a stop to the evil oil company who promises to help the planet, not destroy it; they are doing the exact oppo...    less
