If you had to pick an Elder Scrolls race/species to live as, which one would it be? (Yes, I know this is a really, really personal question.)

Except for Skyrim making them out to be total choads, I always was partial to High Elves.

I loved being  a Wood Elf.  Mad archery skills, and great at sneaking past bad guys!

' Elder Scrolls' ?  :question:

I think it's Lord of the Rings sh!t.  The movies are overblown and pompous.  Lots to recommend.  BORING! 

No, Elder Scrolls is a fantasy, open world adventure video game series.

(And THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy is the greatest cinematic effort in history, you Philistine!!!!   :twirl: :twirl: :twirl: )

Of course you're right about Elder Scrolls 'cause it was a guess but it's that same Fantasy stuff I dislike.  The closest I got to admiring the genre was GENE WOLFE's Torturer series of books...  he was a Catholic SciFi writer.

So you've finally given up on Sucker Punch?  :teddyr:

Different genre, but still one of my all time favorite movies.

ER

One word to describe your whole life.

Mine would be "unexpected."

That sums it up start to now, how it began, how it deviated from script, so much that's happened, (and likely how it will end): unexpected.

Alex

Coincidence. Most of my major life events have had odds against them that were almost astronomical against them happening.

That's a great outlook!

I have to go with "lucky" too.

Worse than I desire, better than I deserve.

(That's more than one word, innit?)

OK . . .

Ordinary.

I was going to say "hedonistic," but "lucky" actually fits better.

Would you rather remove one person from your sexual history, or add one? (The addition can't be some fantasy figure, it's realistically someone you have known, maybe someone who got away, that sort of deal. No hot 'n heavy Marilyn Monroe weekend in Hawaii.)
