ORC: Eternal Darkness - Forward

    FORWARD

     

    Wanting to delve into Skyrim again, I decided that I wanted to do something different and play the game in a way that I hadn’t played before.  The first thing I did was create an Orc.  I had never played one and decided I’d give it a shot.  Next, I wanted a direction to take.  It always seemed a little strange to me that you jump into the game, get introduced to the main villain, learn that said villain literally wants to destroy the world, and then I run off to join the Thieves Guild and start fleecing small businesses in Riften for sweet sweet gold.  Where was the urgency?  I could save all that stuff for post game, but where’s the fun in that?  So I came up with the idea of playing all of the other stuff first.  NOW I had something different.  Instead of my Orc going from zero to hero in the matter of a few weeks, I’d learn to fight, sneak, steal, and become a hero in my own time.  I used the “Live Another Life” mod and skipped Helgen to start my game in an Orc Stronghold.  So here is where we meet Grogon.  This fiction is effectively my hero’s origin story.  I’ll loosely use things that actually happen in my game to enhance the story, but the two works will remain separate.  My playthrough is only the inspiration for what will happen here.

     

    I’m definitely no professional.  I’ve played around and started other stories before, but this one will be the first I’ve posted anywhere.  I’ve enjoyed writing this so far, and I really hope you enjoy reading it.  Game on.
