okay, so firstly, is the why i'm doing this
Why: did you ever find yourself ruining oblivion for yourself by fast travelling everywhere, waiting in place for 14 hours for an npc to show up or by naming your character Gareth Gobelcoque. So I am adhering to a few simple rules for my first (and possibly subsequent) Skyrim run-through. maybe you'd like to join me in this quest?
1. Naming your character as the races in the game actually would. As a guide (or even just a starting template for you to modify the name) here is a link to a name generator:

2. Never using fast travel. When a quest wants you to cross the map, get to hiking. you're RP'ing after all, enjoy the adventure, find new adventures along the way.
3. Not using the "Wait" system for more than an hour. how long have you stood in one exact place for 19 hours waiting for a person to show up there? Are you a stalker? don't be creepy, go do other things in the meantime. at the very least, find a bed to sleep a few hours away.
4. Turn off dialogue subtitles and actually listen to what the NPC's are saying. Too often in Oblivion i found myself reading the whole text and skipping their voicing of it. Which was okay for oblivion, because its not like the 3 voice actors in that game even tried very hard, but in Skyrim, we should let ourselves experience all the dialogue.
so these are my simple rules for making skyrim a much more immersive, deep RP experience, and I'd like to know what you plan on doing to improve your experience with Skyrim? anything you think I should add to this list?
