    What's a roleplay reason for selling stacks of items individually?

    So for this, I'm assuming you mean if you had 10 arrows, you'd sell one then another, so not all at once?

    The shopkeeper could be paranoid that they were stolen, and insists on counting out each one, reputable vendors like Eorlund would be more likely to do this. Or they need to see the quality of an item, for example in Solitude or Windhelm, the stuff you sell would probably go back into the civil war, so they need to make sure the arrows aren't cracked and the swords are straight. If you're character is old, being a doddery old geezer who counts out their items and their coins would fit as well.

    Is there any reason that a person who was painfully cursed to have a small magicka pool would become a spellsword? I think that the most logical response would be something like an angry rejection of magic and crusade against magic-users, but I want to makea  spellsword.

    Easy. It could be due to family pressure (Altmer/Breton backstory) or a "I'll show them! I'll make them pay for laughing at my teeny Magicka pool!"

    Wu covered it I think, revenge-filled or stubborn would be really good options for this type of character.

    What would make a good home for a nomad?

    A common thing to do for nomadic type builds (rangers come to mind) is to utilise the various huts and cabins scattered around Skyrim as rest stops. A place to restock and sleep for a day or two, but then carry on again.

    If you want a more permanant place, any Hearthfire home, with only the basic cabin, would be suitable for a nomadic character as well.

    Can someone point me in the direction of a good werewolf RP guide or maybe some good backstory suggestions?  I've got some ideas floating around, but I'm still looking for inspiration.  There is alot of great rp elements in Vargr's "Cursed" build.  Any other suggestions?

    Blackblood's Guide to Lycanthropy is my got to place for anything werewolff, and it provides some great backstory ideas in my opinion. If you're still struggling with it, just ask here and someone will help you create the perfect background for your character! And remeber to post your backstory in the A-Z under the 'Werewolf' category when you're happy with it (if you want to, of course).

    Awesome, thanks Zonnonn.  I don't know about the backstory posting though, I'm not much of a writer.

    Hello everyone, this is my first post in the site so nice to meet you I guess. Now moving on with the matter i require some assistance. I will be making a blind (doing if for the first time) playthrough in skyrim with a classic good guy Adventurer type of character (get rich, get strong, save the world) going through the College of Winterhold, Main quest, DLCs, any side quests I come across and fit my character's disposition (not the "dark side" ones). The thing i require some advise is in the fact that I want to make an Altmer because elves are my favorite race when it comes to fantasy and rpgs in general but I feel that the game because of the Nords distrust towards Elves and being surrounded by that nordic element is making you feel like it's wrong being an Altmer Dragonborn in skyrim making it safer, destroying the DB and even the Thieves Guild (mod), joining Dawnguard and doing all the good guy things. I know you even go to Sovngarde to fight Alduin, an elf in Sovngarde how out of place is this going to feel :P . So I 'd like to ask with what kind of mindset and even backstory elements should I play my elf in skyrim to ease that out of place feeling i get? Any help is appreciated.
