This week's Skyrim roleplay

1) strip your character buck-ass nekkid. Meaning, empty your entire inventory.
2) fast-travel to the opposite side of the map from your home.
3) get back home. No fast-traveling.

Easy, you say, right? After all, you start the game with nothing in your inventory.

Wrong. And while we're talking, call your mother. She worries.

You're handed your first weapon and armor on a silver platter in the game. Yeah, yeah you have your spells and your shouts and your werewolf/vampire lord transformation, but you don't have your enchanted gear. How many fireballs can you really cast? If you're a werewolf, when do you take that once-per-day transformation? If you're a vampire lord, congratulations, it's easier going... until the sun comes up.

You have no money, potions, or soul gems. You start out with no armor, and you'll probably have to start by making do with the crap that the common bandits wear. You don't get to keep your pickaxe or wood-chopper, so good luck making your own stuff.

Have fun!
