[forsaken1111]

Hello! Recently I finished updating and installing the latest versions of the various mods I use in Skyrim. I selected these mods for improved graphics and enhanced realism/gameplay. To this end I have 295 mods installed which change the gameplay and graphics quite a lot but do not change the overall feel of the game much.  I have invested more than 300 hours in Skyrim since its release so I went looking for something new to do. Some suggestions in the Skyrim thread (Thanks Vendayn!) on this forum led me to what I am doing now. To that end, welcome to A Spy In Skyrim in which I will play [Insert Name] the Altmer spy! I will be making a character and roleplaying as a spy for the high elves within Skyrim. You can decide the race, sex and background of the character from those I list  below.

So how will this work?

First, you fellow Bay12 forumgoers will decide what race, sex and background the character will be. You will also choose whether or not I have any talent for magic, and what kind. You can choose up to two different schools of magic, and those are the only two I will use.  If you choose none, I will use no magic at all.

Then, I will post a first update. This update will be my first report to you, my Altmer masters.  Yes, that's right. You are in charge. Each time I post that I am ready for new instructions, you will collaborate to write me a message which I will 'find' in a dead drop location. These messages are my instructions from you, the Altmer intelligence services.

You can order me to perform any action, gather any goods, explore any location. Need me to recover Mehrun's razor and leave it in a specific location for one of your other agents? Cool. I can do that.  But keep in mind that I am an undercover operative. As such, orders for outright overt action against the Altmer's enemies could blow my cover and force me to abandon my previous life and cover story. I will still carry out the mission, but I may have to start over within Skyrim afterwards, finding a new cover story and living arrangements. If at any point you tire of the current agent's services you can retire me to deep cover and activate a new agent with a new goal. The world will not change but I will change my race/sex if necessary and reset my skills as well as leave behind all of my accumulated equipment to simulate a new agent activating elsewhere.

So the first question is what race, sex, and background will I be starting with?

Races: The question of race isn't as clear cut as it may seem, because using an Altmer as a spy for the Thalmor is a bit obvious. That said, it may work out well and its really up to you. Since I am using the mod Skyrim Redone which makes some significant changes to the racial their bonuses, I've copied the relevant section from its documentation.

Spoiler: SkyRe Races (click to show/hide)

In vanilla Skyrim, the only real difference between an Orc and a Breton is that one needs an additional piece of magic resist gear.

To make race choice matter, I redesigned all racial abilities from scratch. No copy-pasta from Morrowind/Oblivion - all new, fresh and still lore friendly. 

Also, I modified race heights - this time, I did use Morrowind's values. And all loading screens and race descriptions were adjusted to mirror the changes,

Redguards

- Removed "Resist Poison"
- Removed "Adrenaline Rush"
- Added "Desert Training"
- Added "Sandstorm Charge"


Being the most talented warriors in all of Tamriel, "Desert Training" gives them a headstart in melee combat, increasing stamina by 50. "Sandstorm Charge" is great to get ahead of any enemy during combat, since it boosts movement speed and slows time for a short duration and is usable every 3 minutes.


Nords

- Removed "War Cry"
- Added "Warrior Heart"
- Added "Last Stand"


Nords are fierce warriors, and I think the new ability suits someone who fight until the bitter end. Your damage output increases as your health decreases. The boost is non-linear, and grows fast when close to death.


Imperials

- Removed "Imperial Luck"
- Removed "Voice of the Emperor"
- Added "Imperial Charisma"
- Added "Tactician"
- Added "Attack Order"
- Added "Guard Order"

They used to be crappy ability-wise. Now they fill a niche by having the strongest followers, since "Attack Order" and "Guard Order" allow you to adjust your followers' speed, attack damage and incoming damage, depending on what's necessary at the moment (offense or defense). Both are lesser powers that can be used every ten minutes and last for five minutes. "Imperial Charisma" modifies buying and selling prices, and "Tactician" damages an attacker's stamina by 10% if the attack was blocked.


Argonians

- Added "Protective Scales"
- Added "Claws"
- Heaviliy modified "Histskin"


"Protective Scales" reduces damage from all blade-based weapons by 25%, fitting a scaled lizard. The new Histskin works entirely different than the old one; basically, you can switch between "disabled" (everything as usual), "Health","Magicka" and "Stamina" mode. The latter three double the regeneration of their respective value, but negate the other two. Sounds like a bad deal? I bet there are a few uses you can think of. Each mode is a power of its own, so you can easily swap using hotkeys. Also added "Claws", which is the same ability as Khajiit have (that means the bonus scales with stamina).


Wood Elves

- Removed "Resist Disease and Poison"
- Removed "Command Animal"
- Added "Wild Hunt"
- Added "Wild Companion"
- Added "Wood Lore"


"Wild Hunt" increases bow damage against all non-playable races by 25%. "Wild Companion" can be used every 10 minutes and calls a leveled animal companion. The summoned companion is leveled, behaves like a summoned creature (but doesn't count towards summon limit), and varies depending on the location you are in.

"Wood Lore" allows you to enhance all arrows with a magical infusion at a forge. Infused arrows explode on impact, paralyzing all targets for one second, and reduce their one-handed and two-handed damage by 30% for ten seconds. Crafting these arrows requires 15 arrows, two empty petty soul gems and three spider eggs (creates bundles of 5). 

High Elves

- Removed "Regenerate Magicka" higher power
- Added lesser power "Channel Magicka"
   

"Channel Magicka" allows you to enhance both your spell magnitude and cost proportional with your remaining Magicka percentage. Burn your Magicka fast for better spells, switch tactically between "Channel" "non-Channel" mode, depending on enemies. Suits the image of Tamriel's most talented mages. Note that switching requires any weapons/spells to be sheathed.


Dark Elves

- Heavily modified "Ancestor's Wrath"
- Added "Ancestor's Fury"

ON ENEMIES, Ancestor's Wrath now triggers automatically, once they get hit and drop below 50% health, and is not limited to one use per day. In addition to the flame cloak spell, it also adds 50% additional strength to fire-based spells. The flame cloak effect starts at a damage of 5 per second, but grows by 3 every 10 levels, up to a maximum of 17 (before bonuses are calculated in, including it's own).
ON THE PLAYER, it also carries the fire bonus, but no cloak is cast; instead, you'll get a 15% chance to avoid incoming physical damage. Players also get "Ancestor's Fury": Once per day, if your health drops below 30%, you trigger a huge explosion and two angry Dunmer ancestors arrive to aid you. They are leveled and use strong weaponry.


Bretons

- Removed "Dragonhide"
- Nerfed "Resist Magic" passive
- Added spell "Twin Blood Summoning"
- Added spell "Twin Blood Eruption"

This is a very interesting one. Both new abilities are spells, not powers, and require you to sleep between uses. Both spells take long to cast and reduce health continuously while active (no Magicka cost), and also negate your passive magic resistance for two minutes. Why bother casting? Well, they have supreme effects once pulled off. "Twin Blood Summoning" allows you to summon an unlimited number of creatures while active, and "Twin Blood Eruption" doubles spell magnitude of all spells, while halving casting cost. High risk, high gain.


Orcs

- Added "Orcish Smiting Lore" (25% improved tempering)
- Modified "Berserker Rage"

"Berserker Rage" is a good power, strong and with RP-value, so it stays with slight adjustments. Instead of being limited to one use per day, it can now be used multiple times, but it is required to sleep between uses. While active, you still deal double damage, and all incoming damage is reduced by 25% now (includes magic). However, the activation costs health, and while raging, benevolent potions are 75% less effective, so use some tactic. I also wanted to give them an additional passive buff though, and "Orcish Smithing Lore" seems perfect.


Khajiit

- Added "Feline Athletics"
- Added "Survival Instinct"
- Tweaked "Claws"
- Tweaked "Night Eye" to be permanent/toggleable

I want Khajiit to feel like agile cats, and increasing movement speed and jump height, while reducing falling damage via "Feline Athletics" (+ 20% speed, half falling damage) seems like a logical step to this goal. "Survival Instinct" triggers once per day, if your health drops below 25%, and increases attack speed, and movement speed even further. The bonus on "Claws" is now stamina dependent; the formula is x += (0.1*stamina).

Background: The Live Another Life mod allows for multiple different starting scenarios. You can pick any of them for the spy. The 'Caught Crossing the Border Illegally' start is the standard Skyrim introduction. I've copied the different backgrounds and their descriptions below. If you decide to make me a vampire, that's fine but I do have a mod which changes up the way vampires work to make them more interesting. I really dislike the bland vanilla mechanics. There is even an 'Altmer Agent of the Thalmor' start, if you want to go with that for theme but it does officially make me a member of the thalmor faction as far as the game engine is concerned, which can cause funny issues. 'Surprise Me' is always an option too. Whatever comes of that I'll make the best of, but it may not be what you want.

Spoiler: Backgrounds (click to show/hide)

Choose from one of the many options to start your character. As more ideas are fleshed out, this list will grow.

Caught Crossing the Border Illegally
------------------------------------

For those who wish to use this to play through the original game start at Helgen, this option will streamline the process to skip the race selection dialogue during the lead up to your execution. Most of the tutorial prompts will be removed as well.

Immigrated to Skyrim
--------------------

You will arrive by ship in the port of Solitude, Dawnstar, or Windhelm with little more than some basic supplies, middle class clothing, and a decent sum of gold to start over upon your arrival.

Property Owner
--------------

You will start off with the fully furnished house of your choice in one of 4 major cities. Windhelm is not included due to the quest that interacts directly with the house there.

Each house will start you off with appropriate class clothing and some leftover cash to spend. There will also be a selection of weapons fitting to the city available on the storage chest in the bedroom.

If owning property in a city is boring, or you'd prefer to have access to all of the available hold questing, you can choose instead to own a farmhouse. The farmhouse is situated on the main road southeast of Dragon Bridge and comes complete with a pair of NPCs to act as your farm hands. Your farm will generate a regular income that you can collect from the farm hands. You do need to come home from time to time to collect it though.

Member of a Guild
-----------------

You will be a new recruit in one of the joinable factions in the game. The Companions, College of Winterhold, Dark Brotherhood, or Thieves Guild. Your starting equipment will be geared toward the faction you have chosen.

For the Thieves Guild, you will begin just inside the Ragged Flagon, having just emerged from the Ratway. Talk to Brynjolf to seal the deal.
For the Dark Brotherhood, you will begin immediately inside the Falkreath Sanctuary and need only speak to Astrid to complete the process.
For the College, you'll be placed just outside the Hall of Elements and will have completed the initial joining phase.
For the Companions, you'll begin in Jorvaskr and begin with the mission to train with Varkas.

The Bards College will be added later if Bethesda does more to flesh out the faction. Right now, they're just a token guild that's not worth much.

Patron at an Inn
----------------

You will be able to choose from one of several inns throughout Skyrim. Some are relatively safe, others not so much. Nightgate Inn in particular is isolated in the mountains and is more dangerous than most others. Do be careful.

Outlaw in the Wilds
-------------------

You will begin as a member of a group of bandits. For the sake of variety, the group of bandits will be chosen at random. You will begin with standard bandit level equipment. The bandit faction at the start location will remain friendly to you as long as you don't piss them off first. Tread carefully though, you WILL have a bounty of 500 gold in the hold the game chooses. The guards will not take kindly to seeing you trotting into a civilized area unless you're prepared to pay up.

Soldier in the Army
-------------------

You begin as a recruited soldier in either the Stormcloaks or the Imperial Legion. Which one you choose will determine the gear you start with. You will begin at the point immediately after what would be each one's first mission, which is little more than a cannon fodder quest on either side.

Camping in the Woods
--------------------

You are a lone hunter, camping in the woods. This will start you off with decent low level equipment, a campfire, cooking pot, bedroll and tent. The camp will be in the forest/hills near Helgen and will serve as an alternative method for witnessing the dragon attack that will not require you to actually be in the village when it is destroyed. The camp will remain in place permanently should you wish to return and use it as a base.

Shipwrecked off the Coast
-------------------------

Shipwrecked! You were a passenger aboard a merchant ship on the way to Solitude when the ship struck an iceberg off the coast and then capsized. Make your escape from the doomed vessel, retreiving any useful items on your way out, then make your way to the nearby ice floes. From there, you'll quickly realize it's a LONG way off to shore.

Take care if using survival mods, especially those with hypothermia modules. You can freeze to death quickly!

Attacked and Left for Dead
--------------------------

You find yourself in a remote area, robbed and left for dead by bandits. They were kind enough to leave what they thought was your corpse dressed in ragged clothes, but nothing more. Can you survive the harsh wilderness and reach safety alive?

Vampire in a Secluded Lair
--------------------------

Mara's Eye Pond has always been home to you, for as long as you can remember. It isn't even clear to you anymore how long you've been a vampire, but you know you still hunger for prey and still have an urge to adventure.

Be aware - this starts you off as a stage 4 vampire. Everyone and his uncle will try to kill you the moment you've left the safety of the dungeon you're in. If you intend to mingle with the city folk, you'll need to feed first.

The end table immediately in front of the bedroll where you start is a safe storage container.

Necromancer in a Hidden Lab
---------------------------

The laboratory you discovered in Blackreach is running low on supplies. It looks like you'll need to set forth soon to replenish, and perhaps see what's going on in the world these days.

Fair warning - there is a Dwemer Sphere outside the door to the lab. You'll need to plan ahead before leaving.

Vigilant of Stendarr
--------------------

You have been accepted into the Vigilants of Stendarr and have been granted living access to their headquarters outside of Dawnstar.

The chest next to you when you begin is yours and is a safe storage container.

Caution: If you are playing Dawnguard, you'll lose access to the safe storage chest once the quest line kicks in and the hall is destroyed. If you are keeping valuable stuff there, be sure it's cleared out before you hit level 10.

Live in an Orc Stronghold
-------------------------

You'll begin in the orc stronghold of Dushnikh Yal. Though you have lived there for some time, they still call you outlander, and now you once more hunger for adventure.

For some people, this may be considered an unbalanced option since you get decked out in a full set of orcish armor and a nice big orcish battleaxe, but you're still level 1. Death can still find you easily enough.

Khajiit Caravan Guard
---------------------

You've been with the caravan for a long time now, and finally your group leader has hired a new guard. Time for some adventure, but you'll always be welcome at the camps in Whiterun or Markarth as always. This option only activates for a Khajiit.

Member of a Forsworn Tribe
--------------------------

Once the true rulers of The Reach, your tribesmen and kin have since been forced to carve out a life in the rugged mountains, away from more comfortable living. The time has come for you to leave and find adventure on your own. Only available for Bretons.

Note - You get a usable chest in the start location that's safe to keep things in.

Argonian Dock Worker
--------------------

You've been on these docks for months now, perhaps longer. The locals aren't treating you any better and it's high time you did something about it. A life of adventure and glory is just the change of pace you need.

Note - The first end table inside the door, with the soul gem holder on it, belongs to you and can be used as storage. The container does not respawn.

Redguard Alik'r Warrior
-----------------------

Disillusioned with life back home in Hammerfell, you joined the Alik'r and set out to Skyrim on a mission. Only things are not what they seem and it looks like time to set out on your own. Nobody back home will know the difference anyway.

Dunmer Refugee (Windhelm)
-------------------------

Morrowind is still a very hostile place, and you've decided to take your chances in Skyrim instead. Upon arrival though, Windhelm isn't at all what you expected or were hoping for. It looks like it's time to cast aside your expectations of an easy life and become an adventurer.

Note - The bedroll and sack you start standing next to for this are yours. The sack is safe storage.

Dunmer Refugee (Raven Rock)
---------------------------

The mainland of Morrowind is still a hostile place, and you've had enough. You're taking your chances on Solstheim in Raven Rock. Upon your arrival though, it's not at all what you were hoping. They almost treat you as an outsider. It looks like that easy life isn't there to be had after all. Might be time to take up adventuring instead.

This start will replace the refugee option if Dragonborn is installed. You'll begin in the abandon building on the edge of town and from there, you're on your own.

Note that for Raven Rock, there is NO SAFE STORAGE so don't count on stuff getting left behind in the containers still being there later!

Altmer Agent of the Thalmor
---------------------------

You're assigned to the Thalmor Embassy near Solitude. As part of your regular duties, you are tasked with routine investigations of various matters in Skyrim. Though Elenwen has yet to trust you with a field assignment - until now. How fortunate that it should mean finally getting to do some adventuring on the side while you're out.

You begin the game inside the Thalmor Embassy on the upper floor, standing next to a bed. Since the Embassy does not respawn in the vanilla game, all storage should be safe. You will be a member of the Thalmor faction, so you can take what you wish from the building at any time, and can sleep in any of the beds you can find.

Once you have arrived at Helgen, you will be removed from the faction and the Embassy will then be closed to you until the party during the main quest. Thalmor may become hostile toward you at this point due to their assumption that you've abandoned your post. Be aware that membership in the Thalmor faction may also make Stormcloaks hostile toward you, including cities run by them! Unlike the bandit start, you will retain this membership for as long as you avoid going to Helgen.

Surprise Me
-----------

Random roll that will pick one of the above. The standard Helgen start will not be included in this. Race specific starts will only apply if the player's race matches.

Sex in Skyrim is purely aesthetic and I have no preference either way.
If you wish me to be able to use magic, choose up to two magic schools that I am skilled in and they will be used when appropriate.

Once I have answers to race, sex and background I will generate the character and post a starting update while you guys work out initial instructions. Skyrim's the limit, so whatever you want me to do I'll do.

Here are a few things I'm restricting myself to for purposes of realism or challenge.

Spoiler: Ground rules for me (click to show/hide)

1. Always remain in disguise when in populated areas unless on mission.
2. Take all possible precautions to ensure that I am not observed or recognized when on mission.
3. Use 'hardcore' level survival/needs mods
4. No fast travel (Carriage travel OK)
5. No travel at night unless necessary
6. Always camp or find inn at night
7. Cannot use looted armor until it has been improved at least once to simulate the necessary resizing. Does not apply to armor crafted myself.
8. Where possible, craft sensitive or questionable items myself to avoid awkward questions about why a nord farmer is buying a two-handed sword and suit of steel armor. Imperial intelligence is everywhere and trackes this type of purchase.
9. Join factions only as part of a mission. Abandon all ties to the faction after mission completion unless the cover is useful for ongoing activities.
10. Any time I pass a guard while not under cover, roll a six sided die. If six, I'll roleplay a guard encounter(anything from a simple search to being detained).
11. All arrows are assumed 'used' once fired. No used arrow retrieval. Arrows from dead archers are fair game.
12. Can check map only while in town/city (asking directions). Minimal compass use.
13. Save only when safe, no quicksaves in dungeons or dangerous areas.
14. Permadeath - If I die during a mission, I will quickload and abandon all gear/reset skills so you can activate a new agent. If you want that agent to resume the mission or retrieve some of the old agent's equipment, I can try but whatever killed him may kill the new agent.
15. Crafting takes time. I will wait an amount of time after crafting items appropriate to the complexity of the item.
16. Timescale will be set at 5x instead of the default 20x. This means that every 1 minute realtime will be 5 minutes ingame instead of 20 minutes. This means that delving a dungeon may take most of a day rather than emerging 3 days later. (Though I will need to make sure this jives well with the realistic needs mod)
17. At least Expert difficulty at all times.

Spoiler: Ground rules for you (click to show/hide)

Each time I request new instructions, you must collaborate with your fellow forumites and agree on what instructions to send me. Said  instructions should be written out by you, because I will take your text exactly and attempt to apply it ingame. Whatever you all agree  to write is exactly what the Altmer spy will see ingame. As such, if you are vague or ambiguous then you may not get the expected  results. All instructions should be explicit and should include the location of the next dead drop as well. Instructions can (if you  choose) be written in such a way that anyone else finding them would not understand them.

For example, if you wanted me to retrieve Mehrun's Razor:

[NAME],

Greetings from your loving Uncle. As you know, it is your Aunt's birthday next month. I have received word of a new museum  opening in Dawnstar which has uncovered evidence of an item of historical significance and you know your Aunt's penchant for historical  oddities. Do your uncle a favor and assist the good curator in retrieving this item as I think it would make an excellent gift. I am  certain the curator will be grateful for the help, and the item will make a wonderful display piece in our manor. Once you have the  item, drop it off at the Oddments in Solitude. The shopkeeper is a friend, and will package the item and handle shipping arrangements.  Expect my next letter in Dragon Bridge, as I have a courier who will be staying at the inn there.

Love,
Uncle Boris

Spoiler: Equipment Restrictions (click to show/hide)

When under cover:

No armor, only clothing
1 holdout weapon such as a dagger
Tools OK (woodcutter's axe, pickaxe)
Limit of 500 septims
1-2 days worth of food/drink
No questionable items which would not fit cover story (soulstones, lockpicks, stolen goods, etc)


When on mission:

Armor OK
Tools OK
Camping gear OK
1 two-handed weapon
OR
1 one-handed weapons + 1 shield
OR
2 daggers
1 holdout weapon (dagger, etc)
1 ranged weapon
1 type of arrow or bolt
3-5 days worth of food/drink (More with backpack)
Foul weather gear (mask, cloak, hood, goggles, etc)

Spoiler: Encumbrance (click to show/hide)

I am instituting a common sense policy regarding encumbrance too. Simply put, I will not be looting everything in sight. In fact I will not  be picking up anything simply for selling later on unless it is very light. Generally this means I will gather gold and gems and possibly jewellry but not expensive weapons and armor or any other bulky items. Generally speaking, I will not be picking anything up unless I plan to use it. The reason for this is twofold. First, I am a spy. I'm not here to accumulate wealth. Money could be useful in completing certain mission objectives and getting equipment but generally its not my primary concern. Second, its really incredibly easy to make silly  amounts of money in this game by hauling anything and everything off to sell. I don't really intend to buy a house or make other large  purchases unless you tell me to. Of course if you'd like me to build a house in Falkreath to use as a base of operations for the  Altmer, I can do that. For most instances, I will limit myself to no more than 2/3 my carry weight.

[Putnam]

I know for a fact that 5 timescale breaks things in the game and that 6 doesn't, so go with 6.

[forsaken1111]

I know for a fact that 5 timescale breaks things in the game and that 6 doesn't, so go with 6.

Good to know! I still need to verify whether timescale changes fuck up the eating/drinking/sleeping mod anyway. I may end up leaving it at default.

[Putnam]

Race: Dunmer.
Sex: F.
Start: Immigration (Dawnstar).

Schools: Illusion, Destruction.

[forsaken1111]

I'll start this up tomorrow afternoon so if yours is the only suggestion at that point Putnam or if it has the most votes we'll go with that.

Oh, I forgot to ask but a name would also be good.

[Putnam]

Arns Hlervu? I'm not good with coming up with names 

[joemoben]

Race: Dunmer
Start: Necromancer
Schools: Conjuration and Destruction
Sex: M
I figure that if you are a Dunmer that can summon your ancestors, you can probably summon other undead too.
And due to a lack of creativity, I have no idea what the name should be.

[Putnam]

I figure that if you are a Dunmer that can summon your ancestors, you can probably summon other undead too.

You'd be horribly wrong, then. Dunmer have an ancestor worship thing going on--you're asking a favor of them, not forcing them into servitude. I'm pretty sure that's a horrible crime as far as Dunmer culture goes.

[birdy51]

I don't know much about Skyrim... But I shall participate somewhat regardless from what limited knowledge I do know.

Race: Dunmer
Start: Shipwrecked!
Schools: Conjuration and Illusion
Sex: F

Well shit. I knew there was something like that, but never got far enough into the lore to realize it. Either way I'll stick with my vote. I guess we'll just be THAT Dunmer.

[Putnam]

Hehe, that's fine too. Individuals can do whatever they want, I think, though I don't know what the laws on necromancy are in Skyrim (it's legal in Cyrodiil and illegal as hell in Morrowind).

[The13thRonin]

I just started a lets play suggestion game on Skyrim on Bay 12 with mods I find it kind of irritating [justifiably or not] that you started another one without even letting me know about it first.

Don't get me wrong it's a free world and all and I know that I don't own Elderscrolls Lets Plays but I at least asked the other guy whose thread was there first on Morrowind if he didn't mind if I started one up and that was for a whole different game.

I feel like it would have been the corteous thing to do to at least let me know before pulling the trigger on posting.

I'm sure people are going to disagree with me and that's OK but that's just how I feel.

Er.. if I'd known I certainly would have. Sorry? This is something I've been working towards for a week or more. Didn't think to look for others.

It's OK... I think I was just being surprised and grumpy. The threads seem to be suitably different anyway and I suppose exposing more people to Skyrim can only be a good thing. Good luck with the thread.

no worries, I'll be sure to follow yours as well.
