Thanks, Duvain. Just realised that Edana mentioned that already, too. Whoops. This post was edited by Annarresti at January 4, 2019 6:39 PM EST

Thanks everyone. Right, so if I want help with getting started - "I have an idea for a character like X that focusses on Y an does Z. What would be people's roleplay / mechanic suggestions for that be, if any?" - where would I post that, please? Might do an outline first etc, obviously Edit: A thing I just noticed. Loads and loads of pictures on different builds and threads, etc don't seem to load for me. Is this just normal or is something going wrong?

Yes I think Edana's post just about covers things. That template from Noodles is particularly good. I'll defiitely have a dig around in the Roleplay group as well.

Hello! I've been lurking for a few weeks, and I love how friendly and helpful everyone seems. I've been looking over a lot of builds while I've been setting up a mod list, originally just to pass the time and get some inspiration for a modded playthrough or two, but some of the stuff on here is so good I decided to join. I've now a couple in mind myself (I also thought that getting in to this a bit might be a helpful exercise for writing more generally). Regarding any builds I might post: I've never been super into TES lore, though I enjoy reading about it and find digging through lore and inventing back stories and things fairly staightforward and fun. However, though I've played Skyrim and Fallout on and off for a few years now I'm the kind of gamer who is in it for the RP and escapism, not maximising gameplay, exploits and things like that. So I don't know skill trees, quests, perks, items, etc very well at all. Is there a primer, guide or tool somewhere for this aspect of things? Pleased to meet you all anyway!
