[Quiet Man Cometh]

I've played Return to Arms as well, can't really remember what I thought of them when compared to each other. Both good though, and I think Return to Arms is easier to find than Norrath. I had an archer too. A wood elf with tattoos and pig tails that I called Minx. ;). Not my usual character setup.

In FFXII I left the world I started in too early, so now I'm stuck in this mine area that I can't leave until I beat the boss, which I'm not tough enough to do yet, so I'm pretty much running back and fourth between a few hallways attempting to get to a high enough level to take the boss monster out. I also made a pretty shabby build with Vaan, so if I leave him to his own devices he dies. The other characters manage themselves well enough.

Skyrim is Elder Scrolls, ES V precisely, so yeah, that's what it is. ;). I love the games because of how open ended they are. You can basically muck around and do whatever you want with your own character and follow the main quest if and when you feel like it. I started with Daggerfall (ES2) and went through Morrowind and then Skyrim. I lost my Morrowind game which I'm still sore about, since I had mods and the expansions set up, and piles of treasure, but I'll get back to it one day. I love that you can essentially fashion any character you can think of. I usually have several games going at once depending on what sort of character I feel like playing.


I typically don't do a lot with my crafts. If I don't put them somewhere to gather dusts, then I make gifts. I've though about selling some things, such as the peg dolls I used to make, or paintings, but never really got to far into the idea. I have a couple people in family and friends who would like a painting from me that I still haven't done yet.

I'm pretty slow with what I decide to do, going with whatever strikes me at the time, so I have piles of projects going on at once. Right now I have two cross stitch pieces, a partial acrylic painting, start of a watercolour painting, a mostly finished mixed media piece that needs mounting, couple knit projects from years ago (I have since mostly forgotten how to knit), three scrapbooks in various degrees of progress, something involving eggs, and the stuff that's still floating around in my head that I haven't yet started.

I'm sure there's more but it's not coming to mind right now.


EDIT: Oh! And on the avatar, I really can't take much credit for anything, as I'm only wearing three items. Immortal Worlds, Kistune, and Groove Box. The Kistune is one entire piece, with the red design and fiery tails, so I suppose you'd have to ask if the item designer was channeling Okami. Can't remember who that would have been. It is a Japanese themed item though.
