What the thread title says. At the turning of the year, I'm looking at the Dragon Born in the mirror and asking him to change his ways.

1. Stop bullying giants: I have too long engaged these placid man-children in fights to the death for fun and profit, leveling up my light armor, one-handed, and restoration skills while farming the souls of giants and their adorable pets. I'm surprised they haven't brought me before a special tribunal at the Hague for crimes against enormity.

2. Stop being a shite absentee Arch-Mage: Seriously, I'm barely ever there. I can only imagine what the earnest acolytes think of the burly, carapaced jock asshole who stumbles into their midst every couple of months to try to sell them two dozen "used" Black Mage Robes. I should really just give the job to that beardy guy who taught me to cast wards.

3. Stop breaking the world's economy by flooding the market with weakly enchanted iron daggers: Proftable in so many ways, but in the end, we all lose. And Tamriel doesn't have a Germany to bail it out when the goldback devalues past a certain point.

4. Stop the needless slaughter of goats to raise my sneak skill: Deer and elk at least yield meat, but I find it hard to justify shooting something I'm not going to eat.

5. No more practical jokes on Falmer: Calling a blind guy "cheese brain" and then running away giggling is only funny for a while...albeit a fairly long while.

6. Be a better husband: As if it weren't bad enough that I took a feral amazon and stuck her in the kitchen to yawn and munch on bread. I've really been kind of a crap husband. I'm rarely home and when I do make one of my feeble attempts an conversation, it's usually to ask for money or food. I pledge to spend more time at home and not to parade my female "housecarls" around the house in Forsworn armor while my wife slaves over a cooking pot. This leads handily into my final resolution:

7. Stop playing Skyrim: I have two other unfinished tripple A games on deck. Yeah, this has just gotten silly.

I need to stop Murdering random NPC's for the fun of it, then arranging their bodies so it appears that they're sleeping/sitting

I need to stop shouting innocent people and animals off of mountaintops.

That rabbit wasn't even doing anything and I just dropped it a few hundred feet down the side of the Throat of the World.

They are pretty fast, try shooting them with an arrow.... Bring lots of arrows

I pledge to stop killing Thalmor in the middle of a city in broad daylight. Fighting the guards is annoying, I'll have to kill them inside a house or something.

My Skyrim New Years Resolution is to start playing Skyrim, I now actually own the game and have yet to start it. Maybe this weekend. Maybe. I recently been addicted to Infamous: Festival of Blood. Which reminds me, I really should start Infamous 2.

1) Finally "finish" the game. I'm a hundred hours in and I only have three quest lines left.

2) Try to finish some of the random quest

3) Stop picking up misc. objectives, this is starting to get ridiculous.

4) Start selling all the loot I've been stashing in my house.

5) Get the 100,000 gold achievement, which means I need to stop just throwing money around.

6) Finish this then come back to it, for a Master play through (all quests are planned out to maximize the role playing experience.

As my Evil Stormcloak Kahjiit I promise to:

Have a preference for helping Argonians and Kahjiit
Kill Anyone who annoys me, of course do it descretely if they are in cities
Destroy any and all Thalamor
Destory any and all Imperial Scum
Still Wear an Adept Hood like always.....
Get "involved" with every human female I can

Oh wait, I still do those things!



As my Neutral Argonian who makes decisions that I would make:

I promise to be helpful where necessary based on my judgements. This includes killing those that only deserve it, not to hate them or be mean, but to help them.

Stop hunting wabbits. Seriously, it's duck season [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSTLmhWIYTs]. Or mudcrab season. No, no, it's definitely probably butterfly season.

RIP OFF ALL THE WINGS

Mine would only be to stop using the black star. I'm supposed to be a good character, damn it! Trapping the souls of hapless bandits in a gem to enchant iron daggers has got to stop.

But like my other resolutions, I doubt I'll follow through on this one.

Blame it on the Black Star, dude.

I was going to resolve to stop running around my kitchen casting Courage on Aela and Jordis, but then I noticed my Illusion was at 100, making it a non-issue.
