I have a character idea in mind, where at some point in the playthrough I want him to lose his memories and then go to some location where he begins regaining his memories, but I really don't know how to roleplay in him losing his memories in the first place, and I'm not too sure where I would want him to go for him to regain his memories.

Any advice?

For once it looks like Skyrim's bland NPCs should enchance RP here. Random citizens coming up to you and saying random shit fits perfectly. My first thought for losing memory is the Daedra, Hermaeus Mora specifically. The knowledge of Apocrypha to much for him (but somehow he escaped and didn't become a Seeker), or maybe going into Vaermina's realm frazelled his mind. For some reason I'm focused on going to different realms. If he's a mage, the Eye of Magnus could have untold effects on a mage. If the character is a Vampire Lord or a Werewolf, losing himself to the beastial power of that form could wipe memory I guess.

As for where they ended up, cal me cliche but waking up somewhere random in the wilderness, possibly awoken by a thief stealing from them or a giant passing by, is a pretty cool way to wake up.

And for regaining memory, going to another Daedra might work (in exchange for something of course), going to the Augur or going to Neloth for alternative treatment for a mage, curing your affliction for the Vampire/Werewolf one.

It al depends on what type of character it is, where they come from and what path they take, mind giving some more details?

Thank you very much for your response Zonnonn, I'm glad to see that in my time of absence your skill with roleplay has not deteriorated at all.

The character I have in mind will, in fact, be a Vampire, so losing himself to the power could work, maybe even paired with one of your Daedre mind sweep ideas.

And for regaining memory, I figured I would have him go to some location (dungeon or otherwise) and suddenly be hit with the memories of the horrible horrible person he was. While I wouldn't want to cure his 'affliction', having him talk to Neloth or Falion is a pretty neat idea.

I can't decide when to retire my characters, or what all their end goals are.

Why end the story at all if they can become an immortal lich and keep learning all the knowledge ever!
In all seriousness though, I rarely ever 'end' a character, I just get too excited about another build or idea and start a new playthrough.
What I'd advice for roleplay however, keep the character in mind.
Does Gray-mane stop working the skyforge after he restored Wuuthrad, possibly the most legendary weapon of nord legend?
No; "You blind, boy? I'm a blacksmith. Any half-wit could see that."

Thinking about where did the char come from, will often lead to an answer where they would end up, long before they take that first step.

Ok so when i started playing seriously after doing all the stupid shit in 2011 like boosting to 81 with the Ogmah Infinium, or 100% cost reduction i always played Argonians . I love the lil Scalebacks, but now i want to roleplay one and have Zero experience Roleplaying an Argonian. so i wynted to ask some basic tips for my playthrough. He's a Mage apprentice from House Telvanni and was send to Skyrim to pursue his obsession with Shalidor ahd learn about Magic. So do you guys have any basic ideas? things like climate zones or interactions with NPC's

[/blockquote]

An Argonian mage apprentice from House Telvanni?
"House Telvanni was among the staunchest defenders of slavery, which they saw as an ancient Dunmer right. Their ideals and desires, evidently not concerning themselves, were left to the slaves to obey. However, both Khajiit and Argonians, the two most common slave races, could join House Telvanni and advance with the same level of respect as other races."
Certainly possible, but I would guess your scaleback would have experienced more trouble than others in his path to apprenticeship.
Maybe a strong personal driver to proof he can be among the best? Like J'zargo perhaps? Or does he remember his humble beginnings and tries to repect that?

I'd highly recommend Frostfall for the climate part of your question.
If mods are not an option, Skyrim is cold in all regions by Argonian standards.
In the real cold (snowy/icy) regions Frostfall forces you to get indoors, linger by fires, eat soups etc. and wear warm clothing.
It's easy enough to play that even if the game isn't actually freezing you to death.
I just noticed this is the 5th line in a row that starts with an I.

Out of curiousity, which schools of magic will you be studying?
One recommendation for roleplaying an Argonian, and arguably the most important piece of advice: read up on the hist.
It is thé center of all things Argonian.

[blockquote][b][url=/profile/Vezrabuto]Vezrabuto[/url] said:[/b] On ps3 so no mods but i was thinking carrying frost resist izems like snowberries and such ^^ mostly the necromancy branch of conjuration and restoration. But he uses all 5 schools. I wanted him to bond with j'zargo as they are both so different than the others. I'll read up on the hist later good idea.[/blockquote]

Good idea to use frost resist items! Using flesh spells could also be a way to rp using magics to stay warm, and at the same time give alteration some exp.
Or a random self-heal every once in a while for the same purposes.
Doing J'zargo's quest but not the others will have him like you, but the others keep 'nagging' at you.
Good luck with the hist, it's weird stuff xD
