I feel like a bad leftist for emulating a fictional fascist, but I’m doing a Skyrim run inspired by Treize Khushrenada from Gundam and what I know from official TES Lore about nords and dragonborn. The best spoiler-free description I can give of Treize is he’s an aristocratic villain who believes war is a necessary part of human nature, and there’s a soul to it.
So I have a few self-imposed rules:
(for brevity, put the rules here)
Survival mode + Adept difficulty. No one gets special treatment, not even me.
Permadeath. If I die, then it’s a beautiful tragedy about a hero who was too good for this doomed world. There’s actual stakes. If you’re not confident just do “three strikes you’re out”
No sneak attacks, no illusion, or conjuration, and no poisons. Keep the fight ‘beautiful’. Enchanting uses souls of mortals and is forbidden too. Followers are allowed, however
Never flee a fight from humanoids. Wildlife is fine as its survival and not war. But I must take something from wildlife so it doesn’t ‘go to waste’. I can do tactical retreats but I can’t fully flee the fight. Either I clear an area or I don’t even bother.
If they yield, you must let them recuperate. You’re not cold-blooded. They’ll stand back up and you can give them a proper warrior fight to the end
leave behind a flower for any particularly difficult fights
Undead and automatons deserve none of these rules, they’re an insult to war and industrialize it. That means you also don’t go out of your way to grind out bandits
sometimes check up on your stats and all the people you have slain, were they all really necessary? Are you just as bad as Alduin because the journey to get to him cost hundreds of lives?
