Ever heard of actual roleplaying games?
Skyrim is an action adventure game. If you enjoy making things up with your imagination that's awesome, I'm not going to stop you. But you can also roleplay mega man x games that way too.

Bethesda games are not rpgs anymore though.

really? because there are roles you can play in bethesda games. might as well say baldurs gate 3 isnt really roleplay its just a dice game 😂

Yeah? Which class did you pick in skyrim?
How much did that class choice change anything about the game? Did anything become harder because entire questlines became unavailable to you as an orc? Did killing anyone dramatically change anything about the have?

You're just an orc bow assassin. "Amazing".

archer

when i didnt have open ranges and was in more compact areas, it was exciting and scary as my bow could not be as effective

i didnt need a quest to go into an orc stronghold. but then again, i couldnt disguise myself in the thalmor embassy as an orc

quests were lost when hulda died but then ysolda took over

and yes, an orc archer is amazing. thank you for agreeing with me in the end

Spoken like a true 12 year old. I'm happy for you.
