Skyrim

As with Oblivion, there have been a number of "get to know the game" characters. I've tried one of each main play style (Rogue, Mage, Warrior), though there will likely be a few more concept characters, just to see how different skill trees play out. All in all, though, Skyrim isn't holding my interest the way Oblivion did, so I've decided to play a couple of long-term characters while I'm still enjoying the game.

After a break, and with the advent of 1.9, I came to start enjoying Skyrim again, though there's one definite drawback to the new Legendary Skills system: character concepts, at least in my play style, have become pretty much irrelevant. I tend to take points in all skills now and just loop them around based on whatever my current favourite skills are. I usually try to get each skill Legendary at least once, though, but it really boils down to "How do I want to start this character?" and "How do I want to play him/her in the long run?" The answer to the latter is almost invariably single-handed thief type, but apart from that focus, most characters are now very fluid. While I've missed a few character descriptions in here over time, I don't see much point to them, so future characters will probably have only minimal current-stats updates, and that's about it. My only goals at this point are to have significantly played one of each race in my Skyrim career (only Imperial left), and to complete all unique quests at least once (and, where appropriate, significant variants of the same quest, such as the CW quests, Delivery, etc.)

Prisoner

Not yet an active character, just things I want to do with the next one whenever that happens. Breton, gender uncertain (female as opposite gender to Jocien or male because I just played a female?). Specifically avoid crafting skills during early game to prevent levelling too fast—maybe only taste ingredients and combine as directed by recipes, no enchanting/smithing for profit but okay to create useful weapons/armour (which may require lots of training or abandoning this idea as need for higher armours arise). Do DG first siding with vampires, then if sufficient level, DB right after. Try using archer companion this time, maybe on higher difficulty. Eclectic armour choices—favours chitin, bonemold, stalhrim, etc. Keep the name—maybe uses it as an amusing way of staying anonymous?

Slits-Throats-Gracefully

Female Argonian. Current level: 114. Currently, all but the magic skills have gone Legendary at least once. Where I don't intend to use them again, skills will be re-levelled to 100 and then left there. Skills I focus on that have gone Legendary at least three times: Sneak × 6, Enchanting × 4, Speech × 3, Alchemy × 3. Base Magicka: 580, Base Health: 600, Base Stamina: 250.

My very first character was an Argonian, and I haven't played one in the four years since. Given that I've played at least one of every race now (not all documented here), I figure it's time to go back to the beginning.

Basic concept for this character is that she's an assassin with an initial contempt for the Thieves Guild. She will join both the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild very early on, intending to do recon on the Thieves Guild before killing them all. But in joining the them, she'll find out how badly off they currently are and realize that there's already a traitor among them. Not wanting the competition, she'll follow that storyline through, killing Mercer, and in the process, coming to feel like she's now responsible for their well-being overall. <Sigh>...the burdens of leadership.

Continuing with the perpetual theme of grinding those GD'd TG side quests to get the safe. Might hurry these ones along via the console, since I essentially wasted nine months playing Joram only to have to abandon the character. Haven't decided yet. Yes, I could've kept playing it out with Joram, since I had 34 to go to get the safe, but if I wanted the Litany trophies as well, which I did, then I would also have ended up having to do a number of other TG things. Given that I intend to do DB and TG early with this character, I figured I'd rather not waste that much more time with Joram.

The timing of my first round of enchanting really didn't work out as well this time around, and I didn't have enough items all around to make all the gear I wanted, plus I was missing a couple of enchantments still. Since my last play-through, info has been added to the Enchanting page about becoming a Vampire and using that to your advantage, another thing I really wasn't set up to do yet, not least because my Restoration is a fair bit too low to take Necromage just yet. The table below, therefore, will be Round 1, which includes a couple of things that are strictly about making the relevant skill legendary. Round 2 will slightly alter the choices, and I'll find out if the Vampire/Necromage bonus actually works with USLEEP. Update: it turns out USLEEP deems this to be a bug and has disabled it, so Round 2 choices on my light armour look much like Round 1/Jocien, with a few changes for the fact that I won't be focussing on certain skills any more. The Stamina Regen bonus is to compensate for being a vampire. Note that Chaos Magic now does 101 points of damage because of my current Destruction perks, but is really a base of 81 still.

I may do a Round 3 to have Stalhrim weapons, but will more likely save this for the next character, as it fits in better with the developing concept I have for him/her.

Item	Round 1 (Dragonplate)		Round 2 (Dragonscale)
	Enchantment 1	Enchantment 2	Enchantment 1	Enchantment 2
Helmet	Archery +67%	Destruction +41%	Archery +67%	Lockpicking +67%
Armour	Health +103	Magicka Regen +103%	Health +103	Stamina Regen +51%
Gauntlets	One-Handed +67%	Pickpocket +67%	One-Handed +67%	Pickpocket +67%
Boots	Carry Weight +62	Muffle	Carry Weight +62	Muffle
Shield	Block +67%	Resist Magic +33%	Block +67%	Resist Magic +33%
Necklace	Heal Rate +51%	Resist Frost +77%	Same one
Ring	Resist Magic +33%	Magicka Regen +103%	Same one
Dragonbone Bow	Soul Trap 1s	Chaos Magic +81	Fiery Soul Trap 1s	Chaos Magic +81
Dragonbone Dagger	Soul Trap 1s	Chaos Magic +81	Fiery Soul Trap 1s	Chaos Magic +81
Dragonbone Warhammer	Soul Trap 1s	Chaos Magic +81	N/A (no longer levelling Two-Handed)

I experimented with changing difficulty as I levelled a lot more with this character, and found it really worked for me. With the massively enchanted equipment, I'm now on Master difficulty and may consider Legendary later on. I certainly didn't (and wouldn't) have started at that difficulty, though. I have no interest in the "challenge" of playing higher difficulties early on—given my health, it's actually seriously draining on me to be "always on" like that—but adjusting difficulty to match my character kept combat-oriented skills like One/Two-Handed and Restoration from stagnating. It also kept the game interesting, since I still had to pay attention to what I was doing when in combat rather than just traipsing in and killing everything in a few blows.

Joram Jeranus (the Sickly)

Male Imperial. Current level: 100. Skills that have gone Legendary the most times: Sneak × 4, Enchanting × 3, Alchemy × 2, Block × 2, Smithing × 2, Speech × 2. Current gold: 1.6M. Base Magicka: 500, Base Health: 540, Base Stamina: 250.

So named due to the fact that for most of the early to middle levels, it seemed he couldn't go five freakin' minutes without picking up some disease or another. Every time I cured one, he'd get another one. It got so bad that I started randomly activating shrines whenever I walked by them, just to be sure I'd cured the latest disease I'd no doubt developed. Gah!

It's been a long time since I played Nalian, I'm on a new computer, Skyrim is newly installed with pretty much all the same mods plus a couple of new ones, so I figured a new character just made sense at this point. Yet again, we're gonna aim for the freakin' side-job trophies, so TG will be joined early, but I'm going to focus on doing DG early this time as well and see how that goes (siding with the DG again). I was part-way through it while playing Nalian, so I'll try to get back to where I left off there. Might make some of the weaponry like crossbows and the special bolts a bit more worth it. We'll see. (Update: DG was actually very comfortable at lower levels and I found it a good quest line to do early. The crossbow was quite a handy weapon, though the reduced firing speed was a bit annoying. Ultimately, I'm going back to a Daedric bow, but the crossbow is definitely a decent choice of weapon, especially when upgraded to the better models.)

This time around, I maxed out Alchemy, Enchanting and Smithing simultaneously and created maxed out Fortify enchantments/potions to go with them. Armour fortified at these levels easily reaches the armour cap, regardless of type or skill, which removes the need to fortify them. As a result, my choices of enchantments are fairly different with this set of armour than previously. The double magic resistance is probably slight overkill, but with the Agent of Mara, it leaves my total MR at an absolute minimum of 81%, which is quite respectable. I added Resist Frost onto that because the game's implementation of frost magic has always seemed unbalanced to me. Even low-level mages can be a significant threat, since the slowing effects of their spells stack, meaning that your character pretty much can't move. (And as documented in one of the mods I have, these same effects don't normally apply to NPCs!) So this is what I ended up with this time (with a set of Dragonplate and Dragonscale armor enchanted identically so I can get both skills legendary):

Item	Enchantment 1	Enchantment 2
Helmet	Archery +67%	Lockpicking +67%
Armour	Health +103	Magicka Regen +103%
Gauntlets	One-Handed +67%	Pickpocket +67%
Boots	Carry Weight +62	Muffle
Shield	Block +67%	Resist Magic +33%
Necklace	Heal Rate +51%	Resist Frost +77%
Ring	Resist Magic +33%	Waterbreathing
Dragonbone Bow	Fiery Soul Trap 1s	Chaos Magic +81
Dragonbone Dagger	Fiery Soul Trap 1s	Chaos Magic +81
Dragonbone Dagger	Fiery Soul Trap 1s	Magicka Damage +62

The second dagger is mostly for levelling One-Handed, since Chaos Magic tends to give you a lot of 1- and 2-hit kills...although given that the damage on these things is 86 points (143 with the gauntlets equipped) at a skill level of 15 with no perks, I'm not sure how much difference that'll make. I might actually have to use newly forged, less powerful weapons (i.e., after Smithing goes legendary) for levelling. <LOL> If I recall correctly, enchanting fire/frost/shock can also add bonuses to Chaos Magic, but I didn't bother with that above. My poor, tired little brain just wasn't up to coordinating all that and that would only add still more power, making it even harder to level skills.

Note to self: Next time, consider a Stalhrim shield as the light shield just for a change of pace. Stalhrim is marginally better than Dragonscale, but heavier. Also, weapons take Chaos Damage enchantments better than Dragonscale versions, but are not quite as damaging otherwise. See Dragonborn:Stalhrim.

This character was ultimately abandoned due to several colossal screw-ups on my part with several items disappearing, I think as a result of uninstalling USKP and installing USLEEP, and clearly losing a few items all on my own as well, not to mention the questionable status of quests and such with the mid-game switch. D'oh!

Nalian

Female Bosmer. Current level: 57. Skills that have gone Legendary the most times: Sneak × 2. Current gold: 68k. Base Magicka: 230, Base Health: 530, Base Stamina: 100.

Big-time thief. I'd like to collect the full set of side-job trophies, which I've never done before. For a change, I thought I'd do a no-transformations run. I've never had a character who didn't become either a vampire or werewolf at some point, so I thought it was time. Obviously, she therefore sides with the Dawnguard. Also, having never played a lesbian before, I've gone for that this time around as well; she currently has Aeri as her wife (which is seriously handy for lumber), and Sofie and Blaise for her daughter and son. Oh yeah, she's Stormcloak affiliated, both because she's an anarchist and because I need to cross some Stormcloak quest variants off my list. Hrob was supposed to do them, but that didn't happen.

Hrob the Lecher

Male Nord. The character in this section is purely a work of fiction. Any resemblance to a certain living person is entirely coincidental.

Okay, so apart from my penchant for whimsical names (which has no end), the concept for this one is to be the basic Windhelm Nord. Skyrim belongs to the Nords! As of this writing, he has no stats, no nothing, cuz I first want to rip out Steam in its entirety and reinstall everything to a different location. Oh...fun.

Well, this character turned out to be a bit of a bust. One of the things I'd wanted to try was doing the Dragonborn quests ASAP. I quickly discovered that there was a misleading statement on one of the DB quest pages and that I actually couldn't start the main storyline until I was level 10, and that most other storylines were in some way dependent on that, so there were only a few quests available. (If anyone's thinking of this themselves, Tel Mithryn was pretty good for quests, as I recall.) What's more, the minimum levels of many of the monsters in Solstheim is fairly high, so I think I was about level 20 or 25 before I really could enjoy myself there, which took away from the idea of doing DB early.

Couple all that with a 2.5 month break, leaving me a little bewildered as to what I'd been doing, and I decided to abandon this character and move on to the next.

Jocien Frey

Male Breton. Final level: 252. All skills at 100, with all 251 perks active (thanks to an absolutely obscene amount of Harmony castings). Skills that went Legendary the most times: Illusion (108×), Speech (5×), Alchemy (4×), Enchanting (4×), Smithing (4×), Sneak (4×). Final gold: 2.2M. Base Magicka: 1860, Base Health: 700, Base Stamina: 250.

Permanent Gear (no, it's not as high as it could possibly be, but seriously, at these levels and with 700 base health plus 68 bonus, who cares?):

• Dragonbone Bow — Chaos Damage: 53 points; Fiery Soul Trap
• Dragonbone Dagger — As above
• Dragonscale Armor — Health: +68; Health Regen: +34%
• Dragonscale Boots — One-handed: +44%; Stamina Regen: +34%
• Dragonscale Gauntlets — Magicka: +68; Smithing: +27%
• Dragonscale Helmet — Alchemy: +27%; Archery: +44%
• Dragonscale Shield — Block: +44%; Poison Resist: +40%
• Necklace — Magic Resist: +21%; Light Armor: +27
• Ring — Magicka Regen: +68%; Magic Resist: +21%
• Ring (worn only when needed) — Permanent water breathing

In almost every game I play, I have one character whose purpose is to do all that is doable and know all that is knowable. To the extent practical, this character has done that. By the end of the game, there were no non-repeatable quests left available. (Don't believe me? I kept a checklist. Yes, I'm anal.) Apart from mutually exclusive quests, and a few that couldn't be done because relevant NPCs died, all quests documented on this wiki were completed. About the only thing I could've done that I didn't, cuz I'm saving it for the next character (just to give him something to do), is to get all the side-job trophies.

Salia

Salia is my experiment with dual wielding, the last major fighting style I haven't explored. Not surprisingly, she'll be a Redguard. As usual, Sneak is the key...I've really come to like stealthy characters. There are a lot of similar elements to my previous characters, since there were elements of both that I really liked. While I'm nominally planning out 80 perks, if I like this character as much as I liked Llirala, I'll plan to use the new Legendary system and go beyond level 81. Given that, some of these perks will almost certainly only be "initial" perks which I may switch out for perks in other trees later on (I'm thinking I may go magic-heavy at higher levels...we'll see). Some will likely also be brought to 100 more than once, since I tend to max them out easily. (Alchemy, Sneak, Smithing, and Enchanting are all skills I tend to max out quickly.) I may also switch to an Archery primary or a more standard sword-and-shield style at some point if I don't care much for dual wielding.

Perks

• One-handed (13 perks): Armsman (5), Bonebreaker (3), Dual Flurry, Dual Savagery, Fighting Stance, Savage Strike, Paralyzing Strike.
• Sneak (13 perks): All.
• Enchanting (11 perks): Enchanter (5), Fire Enchanter, Frost Enchanter, Storm Enchanter, Insightful Enchanter, Corpus Enchanter, Extra Effect.
• Illusion (10 perks): Novice → Master Illusion (5), Illusion Dual Casting, Animage, Kindred Mage, Quiet Casting, Master of the Mind.
• Alteration (9 perks): Novice → Master Alteration (5), Alteration Dual Casting, Magic Resistance (3).
• Heavy Armor (8 perks): Juggernaut (5), Fists of Steel, Cushioned, Conditioning.
• Smithing (7 perks): All Heavy Armors, Arcane Blacksmith.
• Archery (6 perks): Overdraw (5), Eagle Eye.
• Restoration (3 perks): Novice Restoration, Recovery (2).

Charlie

Charlie's a concept character, though he may turn into a long-term character if I like him well enough. The name, appearance, race, and one or two behavioural traits are based on my cat.

The main plan for this character is to explore unarmed combat. Having played Llirala basically to "completion", I'm no longer worried about experiencing the game as designed, so this time around, I'm letting myself use more by way of mods. I also intend to use the Fortify Alchemy/Enchanting loop exploit to raise unarmed damage to ungodly levels. As with all my characters, getting the character established seems to be a bit of a challenge, as the skills I want to invest in aren't advancing fast enough naturally, and I really dislike deliberately leveling skills. Apart from the unarmed damage and related skills, I'm planning on investing in Archery, some of the treasure-hunting skills in the Lockpick tree, and Speech. (In feline terms, acquiring anything he can chase, paw at, eat, or otherwise entertain himself with.)

Update: The "Fortify Alchemy/Enchanting loop exploit" that I've seen references to here and there turned out not to exist. Even using each to fortify the other, it appears that you max out at +32% Fortify Enchanting, and +29% Fortify Alchemy (×4 items), which cannot be looped any higher, even at 100 Alchemy and Enchanting. This gives you the same +14 Unarmed Damage (×2 items) already noted on the Combat page. It might be possible with the base game to take advantage of an additional exploit to add a Falmer Helm in there and actually get a loop effect started with the fifth Fortify Alchemy item, but I rather doubt it. (Update to update: a vampire with the Necromage perk would get a 25% bonus to a potion's effects...between that and the Falmer Helm bug, this might make the exploit viable. Will re-test once I have a legendary character with the perks to spare.)

Unarmed damage was certainly viable from a gaming standpoint, but for my combat style, I found it...irritating. Anything that moves quickly is hard to hit, as are things like dragons where reach becomes a consideration. As a result, I will be abandoning this character later tonight when I finish the Dawnguard quest line. Yes, with the new 1.9, I suppose I could conceivably remodel the character to whatever I wanted with time, but given that I'm already level 62, that's not gonna come quickly. Best just to start fresh.

Perks

• Heavy Armor (12 perks): All.
• Sneak (12 perks): All except Assassin's Blade (since melee combat will be unarmed).
• Speech (10 perks): Haggling (5), Allure, Merchant, Investor, Fence, Master Trader.
• Enchanting (8 perks): Enchanter (5), Insightful Enchanter, Corpus Enchanter, Extra Effect.
• Archery (8 perks): Overdraw (5), Critical Shot (3).
• Alchemy (7 perks): Alchemist (5), Physician, Benefactor.
• Smithing (7 perks): All Heavy Armors, Arcane Blacksmith.
• Pickpocket (6 perks): Light Fingers (1), Night Thief, Extra Pockets, Cutpurse, Misdirection, Perfect Touch.
• Lockpicking (5 perks): Novice → Adept Locks (3), Golden Touch, Treasure Hunter.
• Alteration (5 perks): Novice Alteration, Apprentice Alteration, Magic Resistance (3).

Llirala Saren

Llirala will likely be my only long-term character for Skyrim. As you might guess from the name, she's a female Dark Elf.

The plan for this character will be to do every non-random, non-mutually-exclusive quest in the game (siding with the Empire), as I did with Hayu for Oblivion. I also intend to max out all skills with this character and hit level 81. Since this character will likely last me for close to a year's worth of play, I wanted to make sure it was a character I'd really enjoy playing, and that I didn't make any screw-ups in terms of perk choices along the way. To that end, I've already mapped out all 80 perks, even though the character is still very low level. My play-style since getting CFS seems to have slowly evolved away from a mage preference, which can be complex to play with all the spell choices, to more of a "one-hit-kill" preference. As a result, my perk choices, while still mage-influenced, are geared more towards an assassin concept.

Perks

• Alchemy (14 perks): All except Green Thumb (which seems dumb for such a high perk).
• Sneak (13 perks): All.
• Block (8 perks): Shield Wall (5), Deflect Arrows, Elemental Protection, Block Runner.
• Light Armor (8 perks): Agile Defender (5), Custom Fit, Matching Set, Deft Movement.
• One-handed (8 perks): Armsman (5), Bladesman (3).
• Conjuration (7 perks): Novice → Master Conjuration (5), Mystic Binding, Soul Stealer.
• Alteration (6 perks): Novice Alteration, Alteration Dual Casting, Apprentice Alteration, Magic Resistance (3).
• Lockpicking (6 perks): Novice → Master Locks (5), Locksmith.
• Smithing (6 perks): All Light Armors, Arcane Blacksmith. (May be redundant, but I liked being able to do something with all those dragon bits instead of just selling them...other perks will will probably take priority, though)
• Pickpocket (4 perks): Light Fingers (1), Night Thief, Poisoned, Extra Pockets.

Oblivion

DH

Male Orc born under the sign of The Tower, custom class "Thug" - Combat specialty - Majors: Hand to Hand, Alteration, Restoration, Acrobatics, Light Armor, Marksman, Mercantile.

In the ancient tongue, his name meant Grizzled...or perhaps Sad Warrior. The translation is a little ambiguous, perhaps implying a war-weary veteran, which indeed ended up describing him quite well as he grew. Unfortunately, his parents were a little too steeped in tradition and weren't thinking of how his name would sound in the modern tongue. Few people know his true name, but even those who do usually just call him "DH".

He is afraid of the dark, perhaps because he was frequently snuck up on by his two older brothers when he was a kid...at least until he pounded one of their skulls in. As a result, however, he also has vehement prejudices against anything resembling stealth, subterfuge, or collusion. He has no problems killing, using poisons, or anything else of that nature, however, so perhaps in time, he will overcome his prejudices.

In game terms, that means always trying to reach a city, inn, or other "safe" place by nightfall and staying there until morning (failing that, as full-dark sets in, he'll walk—simulating fear by not running—to the nearest safe place); using a torch or other light source in dungeons, and at night if he's forced to; no use of Stealth, Invisibility, or Chameleon; and limited use of Security (only on dungeon chests and so forth—no stealing) and Night-Eye (to enhance vision underwater, for instance). Towards the end, I may have him join the Thieves Guild, but probably only once all other major questlines and minor quests are complete and we can say he's gotten over his foibles. For probably the first time ever, I will actually be looking for, and using, magic items with constant Light effects. He's also a magic-lite character...not entirely avoiding it, but using it mostly for healing, utilitarian purposes and only occasionally for offence or defence.

I'm currently playing Baldur's Gate I & II, however, so for now, this character will only be played occasionally to provide variety. The key point will be to finish the main questline first, with absolutely no other quests completed in the interim. I may also go for 100% quest completion (i.e., not necessarily 100% Completion).

Dhalia

Female Breton born under the sign of The Mage, custom class "Jedi" - Magic specialty - Majors: Blade, Block, Blunt, Hand to Hand, Alteration, Mysticism, Marksman.

The main reasons for playing Dhalia were to explore questlines in a substantially different order than previous characters, concentrating on major questlines first, then side quests at higher levels; and to get high skill levels in all magic-oriented skills and be able to buy and cast all those "Not enough Magicka" spells. In the end, she achieved Mastery in Alchemy and Destruction, and Expert level in all other magic skills, which I decided was good enough.

I had actually made a character between Sheara and Dhalia, but found that she was levelling much too fast for my liking. Using that character as a template, however, I created Dhalia, making a point of choosing skills as majors that generally went unused for this particular character and would therefore slow her levelling. If anything, she levelled a bit too slowly, finishing about 2/3 of the quests in the game by 15th level - and that only because I levelled her up from 12th to 15th in about 20 minutes as I raised the two magic skills that were part of her major attributes. It probably says something, both about my slow levelling with this character and my penchant for Alchemy, that by level 10, she had the entire set of Direnni's Alchemy Apparatus, and by level 12, she had all of the houses as well, with more than enough money to satisfy Palonirya for the Mercantile training quest. ;)

Sheara

Female High Elf born under the sign of The Apprentice, custom class "Occultist" - Magic specialty - Majors: Acrobatics & Athletics (cuz sometimes, you just gotta run away), Block (for casting while defending), Alteration, Conjuration, Illusion, Mysticism.

Sheara was created more for fun, without worrying about doing all the quests or advancing stats & skills fairly evenly like Hayu. The basic concept was a Magicka-heavy character who progressed nearly inversely to how Hayu did. The challenge with a High Elf Apprentice, of course, was to face any spell-casting character without dying just because they sneezed at her. The backstory that I played by was that Sheara was once a powerful spellcaster, focussing largely on the arts of Mysticism and Conjuration. Unfortunately, however, she played with forces beyond her capabilities and while she managed to avoid death, the repercussions of the event cost her her sanity. Her dementia was, of course, noticed by the Imperial City guard, seeing as she was a mass-murderer and all. This landed her in jail, scheduled for execution, which is where we begin. Being nuts, once she escaped, she was naturally drawn to Shivering Isles. The intent was that upon finishing Shivering Isles, she would slowly begin to recover from her temporary insanity, but not before killing a few more random citizens, doing the Black Hand quests followed by the Thieves Guild quests (mostly to explore what it was like to have high Infamy early on) then progressing through the less-evil quests to ultimately finish with Knights of the Nine. Unfortunately, I got tired of the game/character and abandoned it for a similar, but different character.

Hayu

(as in "Hey, you!")

Male Redguard born under the sign of The Ritual, custom class "Ninja" - Stealth specialty - Majors: Illusion, Acrobatics, et al.

After a couple of "get to know the game" characters, a couple of characters that didn't work well and one incident with a mod that caused saved games without it to no longer load (for reasons I never understood, nor did I ever figure out which mod caused the problem), I finally created a character with which I intended to do every quest in the game. After 261 real-life days (not all of them actually playing), Hayu completed every "significant" quest in the game, including unlisted quests, all the add-on quests, and so forth...missing only a few of the advanced training quests, which I don't consider as quests per se.

Hayu's basic character concept was the honorable knight with lofty ideals who slowly but surely was corrupted by the grim realities of...well...reality. He progressed from Knight of the Nine to the head of the Dark Brotherhood, ultimately admitting the joy he'd always gotten out of killing things.
