Yes I went out and spent the full retail price on Skyrim. Despite all
the reports about playability due to glitchy software [especially on the
PS3] I took the plunge. And I don't regret it at all. Don't get me
wrong the games does have glitches, some are funny some are annoying,
but my overall experience has been awesome.
I'm playing as an Imperial mainly focusing on one handed combat combined
with the blocking skill. My imagined back story for my character
Surfslayer is he was captured by Imperial forces after shortly after
crossing in to Skyrim from Cyrodiil. There was a fight with a small
group of bandits and Surfslayer killed a couple of them before the rest
of the group retreated. A squad of Imperials soldiers found Surfslayer
as he was looting the dead bodies and arrested him for banditry and
murder. Despite Surfslayer's protests that he was the victim of the
dead bandits he was taken in to custody and transported by prison wagon
to Helgen. A fellow prisoner on the wagon was Ulfric Stormcloak, who is
leading a rebellion against the Imperial rule.
Upon reaching Helgen it become evident that the prisoners will be
executed by beheading. After witnessing a beheading Surfslayer is
brought to the chopping block and is moments from losing his head when
the keep of Helgen is attacked by a dragon. Chaos ensues, giving our
hero an opportunity for freedom as the Imperials and prisoners unite
against the attacking dragon. Surfslayer befriends the fellow Imperial,
Hadvar, who leads him through an underground dungeon and cave system to
relative safety. The two men travel together to the small town of
Riverwood where Hadvar's uncle lives. Along the way the pair are
attacked by three of the vicious wolves that inhabit Skyrim. Although
injured by the attack the two men are able to kill the wolves and take
the pelts.
Shortly after killing the wolves they reach Riverwood where Hadvar
introduces Surfslayer to his uncle Alvor, who is a blacksmith. Upon
hearing about the dragon attack at Helgen Alvor asks Surfslayer to
travel to Whiterun to ask the ruling Jarl for military assistance for
Riverwood.
I'll post more of Surfslayer's adventures in the future.
