Approved.
 
Something I just realized is that we know this Skyrim is bigger than game Skyrim, but nobody has put an actual definition on that and the GM doesn't control enough to make it clear through their own actions. So I suggest we all come up with an agreed upon standard as compared to the game.

First reasonable number that comes to mind is 20:1 scaling. Every NPC in a town? That represents about 20 actual people living there. Every 1 building in game? That's 20 buildings in a town. 100 yards in game is 2000 yards, or about 1.2 miles.

Obviously, this does not hold up for shit like bandit hives and most enemy encounters, since those are are given more love due to the nature of the game. We can expect those numbers to be consistent to reality, outside of war battles, and possibly Forsworn camps.

For factions, there's presumably a fair amount of unnamed lower ranking members walking around in addition to named characters. The College has more students than it does faculty, rather than a faculty number more than double the number of students.
 
I...actually think that's too low. I mean, look at the final quest of the Civil War questline. We have like, what, 20? An actual battle of that scale should be something like hundreds of thousands.

If you make it much bigger, no one except Chameleos, Flavia, and your cars is ever getting fucking anywhere on a reasonable timeframe.

I honestly always viewed the Stormcloaks as more like an insurgency than an enormous army. The Empire only had to send 1 out of its 20 Legions to start actually winning against them unless the Dovahkiin joined their side(the game begins with definitive Empire victory until Alduin). If your army can be stalemated by 5% of another army, you are not a very big army. Even by medieval fantasy standards.

Ulfric draws his troops from less than half of the country.
 
You have a point, although, I think it was a succesful ambush that caught Ulfric, not a major battle.
 
*reads through other player sheets*
...At least I can find hope in the fact that for everyone who went overboard on superpowers there's something they can't beat.

So are we dropped in as groups or something? What's up with that? Also, how are we handling 'using Magicka' as thing you just 'get'. Can you just shoot fire out of your hands, do you instinctively know how to use arcane formulas or what?

You drop in individually. For Magicka spells, you know the base two automatically and have to spend days studying a single spell tome to get another one.

Not everyone has time for RPing. At a guess, they're busy. Otherwise, I have little idea as to what's holding them up and I'm not going to force them to post here.

No, not that! This! I'm asking about doing this!

I think I will just move through the interrogation, going to Whiterun to meet a banker, hire the Companions to clear the mine, and the settings of my base. Then, I'll just let everyone else catch up chrononically.

Also, how sleep deprived are you?
 
I am interested with becoming immortal later on down the line. But I imagine that immedialty going and doing one of the Dragonborn sidequest might not be the best thing to do. Who knows what will happen if we mess with the timeline. Butterfly of doom indeed.

Just go get infected with Vampirism or something.

Or head to Morrowind, find the Corpusarium, get infected with Corpus, and talk to Divayth Fyr about his little potion. He was like 4000 years old already, I doubt he died in between that game and Skyrim.

I'm also interested in immortality ooc. I figure ic our character can resort to that after contacting the aedric/daedric princes fails.
