    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    Game » consists of 30 releases. Released Nov 11, 2011

    The fifth installment in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls franchise is set in the eponymous province of Skyrim, where the ancient threat of dragons, led by the sinister Alduin, is rising again to threaten all mortal races. Only the player, as the prophesied hero the Dovahkiin, can save the world from destruction.

    What other, mortal character in Skyrim would you want to be? Why?

    I would be the Jarl of Whiterun. Not only do I get to trap dragons, but I get to beat my son who keeps disrespecting the dovahkiin.

    I was going to pick Sheogorath but you said "mortal."

    I'd pick the court mage of Whiterun so I could sarcastically greet anyone who tried to talk to me.

    No, fuck the Whiterun general store owner. I tried to murder him during a Stormcloaks quest in Whiterun but kept getting caught in the act.

    Engineer of the first Imperial Railway. Dig up some Dwemer ruins and harvest some technology. Seems easy enough. Connect every major place with trains!

    I always really liked Sub-Zero, but i have playing a lot of Scorpion lately. Oh wait, wrong mortal, my bad.

    I'd be Old Orc from that random encounter, that dude is incredibly bad ass. He was sent, by the daedric god he worshiped, to stand in a single spot until he died, so he's surrounded by the corpses of those who come his way just hoping for someone to be good enough to kill him.

    General Tullius, of course. I find him to be a serious but charming man with a heart of gold. He only wants what's best for Skyrim - and the Empire!

    I would be a Dwemer who is somehow alive and crawl out of the ruins and just fuck shit up! It would be pretty damn awesome imo.

    I found this crazy girl standing on the side of the road, and all she would ever say was, "Wabbajack wabbajack wabbajack wabbajack wabbajack wabbajack wabbajack!"

    I would be her.
