I have always roleplayed that I broke through Urag Gro-Shub's hard exterior and that we became the best of friends through my extensive use of the Arcaneum and exceptional treatment of his books. Also, Tolfdir often becomes a sort of confidante for my characters, the person to whom they go when they need advice or a calming presence (because he just seems wise as all shit). Thus, these two characters have become my "Skyrim Besties," the characters with whom I always want to hang out and share a pint of ale or a flagon of mead. Does anyone else here share my tendency to grow inordinately attached to a certain few characters, and if so, who are yours?
I have 3 main Skyrim Besties and when the day is done we go to the Ragged Flagon and all have a pint or two. First, is Cicero my man of madness, he's always been by my side and is ever so loyal. I don't care what you say Cicero is the best of the best. Next up, is Brynjolf, Brynjolf has always had confidence in me and I always liked him. Finally, the man who I've known since the beginning my good pal Ulfric Stormcloak, and a day is not done till we steal from the innocent, kill some poor fools, and execute some Thalmor/Imperials.
This is a good question. I immediately bonded with Pnax. The first time I talked to him at the Throat of the World I just knew we were gonna be buds. I also took a shining to J'zargo and Teldryn. They're loveably cocky, but not overly arrogant. I like that balance in people too.
Ha! Rogue, Rogue, Rogue... if you haven't guessed yet, let me set the record straight: I'm for the Empire, baby. Ulfric and I will never be BFFs.
As far as Serana goes, I know a lot of people are partial to her, but she just never struck me as someone I would be besties with. I pity her more than anything else, to be honest.
My people are always Kharjo, J'zargo, Jenassa and Borgakh Steel Heart these are my bros and broettes and I always have one of them around.
However there was one playthrough I did based on Breaking Bad where I was Heisenberg and I had Cosnach, a alcoholic Breton from Markarth as my meatshield\Jesse Pinkman. I started off hating that guy but by the end we were total bros.
