I heavily RP as my female Khajiit spellsword (even though I am a male IRL). I had never felt anything but despise towards the life of all NPC's around me (from creatures to followers, from dragons to bandits); I killed anyone that got in my way at some point (except those marked as essential), or abandoned them to their own fate, and always prefered to fight alone. The ongoing civil war never bothered me, yet I still joined the Imperial Legion, just to kill the Emperor Titus Mede II (following the DB questline) right after standing victorious over Ulfric Stormcloak's fall.

One day I dowloaded a quest mod with an amazingly well-written and lore-friendly storyline, introducing several new NPC's. Amongst them, I found this girl that, throughout the questline, managed to reach the cold heart of my Khajiit spellsword and, for the first time, I lowered my guard, and every action I took was not aimed to keep myself alive anymore, but rather to protect her and keep her happy. I admire the immersion this game provides, for I found myself on the verge of tears in front of my monitor when I watched her being killed, while I stood unable to do anything to stop it.

Ever since then, I spend most of my time either on the Throat of the World, shouting my anger and pain out, or hunting and slaughtering Thalmor, Imperial soldiers and any remaining Stormcloaks.
