I am going to start a new person in skyrim and I was wondering if there were any unique ways I could play (like no fast traveling, no killing, or sleeping at night) that would be interesting to do.
I haven't even come across the bound bow spell yet. I had no idea you can enchant it. That sounds pretty cool.
that actually sounds pretty cool.Here's how I've been playing recently:
- Downloading a lot of realism mods, such as "Darker Nights", "Realistic Lighting" and "Magic Gives Off Light." Dungeons look so great when they're filled with shadows and darkness really changes how one plays the game. Bleak Falls Barrow was the first dungeon I tried with these mods and though I've done it half a dozen times before, it was made fresh and exciting by these new elements.
- Lots and lots of role-playing. My character has to eat twice a day and also support a skooma habit. She also has to get a good night's sleep every night. As she has trouble walking for long distances, she rides a lot. She's also not a smith and has to save up money to buy new armor or stumble upon it by happy accident. As a matter of course, I don't use fast travel either.
- Being a nomad. It also changes things when you don't have a place to call home and must carry everything you need on your back. Tedious hoarding behaviors get cut down real fast in this play-style. But it's also so freeing to know that you're not bound to one or more holds - that you can just pack up all your worldly belongings and set up camp anywhere in the world.
- Using a camping mod. If I clear out a dungeon and emerge from it late at night, this mod allows me to set up a tent to sleep in and make a fire to cook with under the stars. It adds very nicely to the realism.
I wonder if it's possible to play a priest in this game; you just use restoration, and your followers and summons kill everything for you.
