  That sounds like the famous chivalry if the medieval knights in shining armor. I think the reality of them was probably more like the GRR Martin version of them. Same goes for Skyrim. The Vigilants are probably the closest to the idea of a righteous Paladin.

  Reality is irrelevant, this is a computer game. Games, among other things, serve as a form of "escape from reality", of being someone you can't be in real life. It's about the desire of the player and the possibilities of the game.

  But reality forms the framework of any good game. There has to be some elements of it there for reference or no one can relate to it.

  Of course, but there also should be something unattainable, impossible in reality. Otherwise why would I play a game - I'll just live my life

  The Backstory for my Sorcerer Char i will play once I got a better PC is that his Master/Teacher was killed because he wasn't fast enough to cast a armor spell. So he wears heavy armor, making him always prepared.

  To be fair, this kind of night-blade variant has elements regarding to a witch-hunters activities such as hunting a certain type of supernatural creature. Like feral werewolves and servants of diabolical overlords which I am referring to Mehrunes Dagon and Molag Bal. To be fair this variant is also a werewolf, not feral.

  I am going to post a roleplaying profile soon. Incomplete though because I am trying to play-test it on my PC eventually.
