  • Yeah this one kinda sucks, but I don't get unlimited characters for these, plus it's fun to just shit on the Dragonborn.

    They have my housecarl, my steward, a pet dog trained in killing vampires, a carriage driver who's likely faced legitimate dangers along the plains of Skyrim, a bard, a horse willing to risk its life, the responsibilities with maintaining a farm and farm life, my wife, and each other.

      So...four adults, three of which are only there bc it's their job, the fourth is your neglected spouse, and a few animals. Great. Not like they would want friends and a variety of people they can actually relate to. And even if everything was perfect about their lives, they still get ghosted by a parent after losing their bio-parents. I think DB should consider his friend's advice.

    My jarl, I see my children everyday because Installed that teleporter platform thal allows me to teleport to winterhold and my numerous secret laboratories accross tamriel in an instant, think of it as a magical door if you don't know what teleporting is. I also provide my children with arcane education which allows them to join the college of winterhold by the time they are 16 years old. Not to mention how I leave them around 5000 drakes monthly to cover expenses and gift them with harmless magical trinkets to further their education in a form of a play, I think I gave them a wooden sword that instantly kills any common vampires that your guards let inside the city due to their incompetence. Despite being a necromancer, I'm still superior father when compared to you. Both of our children worship mephala but at least that was my intention to begin with.

    Well balgruf, most of the children I adopted were going to basically die or worse.
    And if god howard allowed, I'd use my immense wealth, power and influence to adopt every single orphaned kid in skyrim and give them the best house in solitude and assign them my best house carl to watch over them.
    Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a troubled child called lucia to adopt and give a proper home, other kids I adopted to interact with and a loving house carl. More than you've ever done.

    lydia is around all the time one of your own men so you know they are capable to keep the kids safe not only that but as a powerful mage i have taught them defensive spells that can save their life and are honestly more capable than your average bandit
