I had a roleplay go completely awry thanks to my reading habits. I've been re-reading Garth Nix's Old Kingdom Trilogy as a prequel is coming out soon. My character who is a conjuration restoration expert specialising in necromancy was a character I created because I wanted to see if it was possible to play a character who wouldn't do any quests involving talking to people apart from the ones to get Lakeview Manor because I wanted to see how long it took to build a Hearthfire home without buying any materials.
But she just found Meeko and was given Dawnbreaker to purge corruption from the corners of the world and be Meridia's champion, at which point I went: "Wait...Blue robe, annoying but lovable pet dog, magic sword painful to undead, specially charged with keeping the undead at rest, innate powers over the forces of life and death, roams the land looking for enemies...I'm playing an Abhorson!"
So really now I have no choice but to join the Bard's College and the Dawnguard while bemoaning the lack of bells in Skyrim.
