Started a new Character using three new mods...Frostfall, Wet and Cold, and Real Needs and Diseases. Now I have to worry about exposure, eating, drinking, and sleeping.

Did the same a few days ago but with all the official DLCs and that Hearthfire you need hundreds of iron ingots and sawn logs to build your home I am currently building Lakeview Manor

[Spike88]

I just started my Thief/Assassin Wood Elf character myself. Just purchased Winstad manor and got the small house with some furnishings up.

I was initially going to go for Lakeview Manor, but I heard it is constantly being attacked when you fast travel to it.

I wish I could get myself a new computer(partially because this one is dying) but it seems everytime I may have spending money, life throws me a curve ball. Hopefully I can get a better job soon. I'd really like to get skyrim for the PC so I can get some of the survival mods.

Looks like she is being searched by a perverted bear at an airport.

Ironic, but still. Dragons have no place in my Skyrim experience.

Skybird, I can recommend the "Live another life" Mod to you, it let's you choose different ways to start the game. Like being shipwrecked off the coast, being already in a guild from the start, being a vigilent of Stendar (no Quests unfortunately) and so on. It so skips the Intro, where you are going to be beheaded.

For the main quest, you can simply ignore it and concentrate on all the side quests and play the character you want. Also, Dragons won't appear until you killed the first one at the watch tower.

Alternate Start: Live another life
(A must have for me)

I started my thief character out with this mod, haven't seen a single Dragon yet and I've gone through the Thieves Guild quest already.

I started the game normally and I am at level 39 with this character. I haven't triggered the Dragon Event yet...There won't be any dragons at all until you see Jarl Balgruuf in Whiterun and retrieve the Dragon Stone for his Court Wizard. You can simply do everything else the game lets you do that doesn't involve the dragon quest line.

Of course you won't have any Shouts.

True, in the original game you can do pretty much everything except the Civil War without advancing the MQ to the point where dragons appear.

Skybird's issue though is that he can't do the main quest for the Dragonborn DLC, which will not start unless you've already done the quest that triggers dragons to spawn in the game.

So I'm planning for my Thief/Assassin character to go Imperials.

My reasoning behind this is first and first most because he's Bosmer. No sense joining the Stormcloaks when they hate non-nords, especially of the Mer descent. Wouldn't want to be kicked out of Skyrim or killed off once they are free from the Empire and no longer need me. Also, the Altmer think they're superior to the Bosmer. While working with the Imperials would mean working with the Thalmor, a United Empire would mean the chance for the Bosmer to break free of the Aldmeri Dominion.

Second, the Thieves Guild in my opinion is Pro-Empire, just because that's where the money is at. The Empire is where the gold is at. They also have deals and connections with Rich and Powerful Empire supporters.

Now my biggest problem with the story I have for him is the certain Dark Brotherhood mission(I have yet to play through the campaign, but I know what happens to a certain key figure). Can't really honor the oath when you go and break it.

I'm thinking of just completing the Imperial Quest line before starting or getting to that certain part in the Dark Brotherhood. Anyone have advice on how to work it into my characters story? I'm a little stumped.

Oooops, my mistake, I don't have Dragnborn yet, so I didn't realize you need to trigger the dragons to start it.

Actually now that I've looked at it more in the UESP, it appears you can start it just by visiting Solstheim on your own and talking to the right people. But I'm wondering if something happens there that causes dragons to start spawning even if you haven't done the "main" main quest up to that point.

I have it but haven't played it yet so I'm not sure. TBH it doesn't make any sense to me to have the main quest of Dragonborn start unless the PC has already found out that he/she is also Dragonborn. I mean... it's called Dragonborn and the plot seems to revolve around dragons and the dragon cult and Dragonborn-y stuff in general, so it would seem odd to me to be doing that when the whole Dragonborn thing hasn't even come up at all in the main game. But as I said I haven't played it, so... I dunno.

At any rate I have no problems at all with dragons in my game, they're one of the reasons I bought the thing to begin with. I luuuuuuurve being Dragonborn.

Yep, would not make sence at all, since the Cultists attack you and talk about the "true dragonborn" etc. etc. so they know you are the dragonborn before... anyone else... Thats a big plothole - if possible to trigger before finding out about the fact you can shout fancy stuff...
