User blog:Madman97/You know what really grinds my Wabbajacks? The Community.

Hello everyone Madman97 here. Today, I was going through Skyrim ad I was walking throug Whiterun. Nice town, annoying children, hot housecarl whom I managed to resist the temptation of marrying, and a nice communtiy.

SO WHY WON"T IT LET ME BE A PART OF IT?!?!?!

Alright, listen to me on this. The dragonborn is a wanderer from the beginning. You know from the get-go you are going to have a life filled with adventure, doomed to never be able to settle down. The Lure of adventure calls to you. Honestly, you don't buy Skyrim to sit in your house all day and decorate. Buy Sims if you want that. But this is Skyrim, the Frozen Wasteland of Adventure amd Awesome!

I can roll with that. I can accept that once we pick up the sword, we are cursed to never putting it down again.

But why are we so seperated from the town? Essentially, the Dragonborn is out of work, or at least minimum wage work. The Dragonborn is basically a mercenary, taking work wherever he or she can find it. I get that. The Dragonborn isn't always going to be around to chop the firewood. But seriously, has anyone else felt so disconnected from the communities of Skyrim. Why not be able to own your own shop, have someone work for you so you don't have to be there all the time when you are out adventuring. Essentially, that is what whoever you marry becomes, but its just not the same. You never feel rooted into the community. You don't even see the shop they own. Or another example of disconnectivity is when you are hauling logs to be chopped in half. It's absolutly pointless t have in the game. it doesn;t benifet anone in anyway. I can get chopping wood for money but these are huge freaking logs should at least be worth a little coin for the trouble. Why can't you invest your mone into a business and actually see it grow into something that actually matters.

Yeah, you might be given a house, but do you tuly feel at home? People greet you like they would any other outsider, with the exception of that drinking guy outside that inn in Whiterun, who still manages to live off that one bottle of mead you gave him a year ago. You never feel like you have benifeted the communty in any way with your services. Oh you killed a dragon? Good work, now go find some other meaningless task to do.

It is like in one of my other blogs where you don't get enough recognitio as a player. This is kind of a branch of it. You are never integrated into the society, as a person or a legend. You never see anyone talking about you, anyone ever coming to you if they need your services. No, you have to go to them like some summoned dog.

So, how well has your community accepted you?
