Skyrim LotR Fun

[Uruk's Bane]

I didn't see a thread about this, so sorry if there is one already.

Anybody play Skyrim? In particular, has anybody tried to make their character like someone from LotR? I tried it just for fun, and made a character named Boromir who looks exactly like Sean Bean (pixel version). I know, I know, I should have used the description in the book instead, but I didn't want to take that much time. I'm using a shield that doesn't look exactly like Boromir's, but is as close as I think I'll get. I'm using the generic iron sword, upgraded, partly to add difficulty to the game but mostly because it looks more like the description of Boromir's sword than any other. I'm still searching for armor that I think fits. I'm using the studded Imperial armor right now for his traveling outfit, because in the movie it had both mail and leather.

Anybody else tried this? It's pretty fun. I chose Boromir partly because he's one of my favorite characters and partly because I knew he would be pretty easy to play with (generic warrior type).

Hi Uruk's Bane, welcome to the Downs, enjoy being dead and all that!

To answer your question: it's not like I made a conscious effort, but somehow my Bosmer thief/assassin/vampire naturally evolved into something which might make wandering hobbits at night a little uneasy (wearing Nightingale Armour + Shrouded Hood and riding Shadowmare)...
