Skyrim: Whispering Fang - The Fall of Helgen

Playing without a HUD is a pain in the neck, because - at least on the console - all the subtitles are blanked out too.  This One can't tell what he is grabbing, or if he is actually grabbing anything.  Also, Whispering Fang can't take anything from anyone's home, because This One cannot tell if he is stealing it or not... That's okay, really - Whispering Fang is supposed to be against that sort of thing.

Fighting was easy, Khajiit get a bonus to unarmed, so Whispering Fang is a badass.  He discovered half-way through Helgen Keep that the limitations on gear were unreasonable... although, now that This One thinks about it, maybe he is just too used to game-logic.  Whispering Fang is going to change the rules back to the strict limits, and quit being such a puss (heh heh).

Made it to Helgen, after fetched the robes from the Shrine of Talos.  Stopped a bunch of bandits around Helgen, helped clean up a love triangle, and decided to help a shopkeeper recover his stolen merchandise.  Whispering Fang heads up to Bleak Falls Barrow at sunrise.

Skyrim: Whispering Fang - Introduction

Intending to play Skyrim again.  Gonna role-play a Khajiit Monk named Whispering Fang, who has come to Skyrim quite by accident - that is, he is a pilgrim - like Kwai Chang Caine, traveling Tamriel in an effort to remain out of the hands of Imperial Law, and to do good works.  Whispering Fang is wanted for murder in Cyrodiil, although he is largely innocent.

Here are the rules (edited, because I was severely gimping myself):

1. Play as a Khajiit.
2. After escaping Helgen, travel immediately to the Talos Shrine and equip the Monk's Robes and Boots.
3. No fast travel, other than carts.
4. Cannot use weapons or magic (other than healing magic).
5. Although he eschews the use of magic, Whispering Fang is a Scholar, and seeks to collect as many books as possible - he also studies the Magic, although he does not use it.
6. The HUD will be turned off (if possible) - I'll know my general health and stamina levels by the heavy breathing and heartbeat.
7. No map other than the one that came with the game, downloaded here:
   
8. No waiting, only sleeping - with the exception of adding a sense of realism to crafting, reading, etc...
9. Sleep at least 6 hours a day - preferably at night.
10. Eat regularly, at least 1 pound of food every 3-6 hours, ingredients don't count.
11. Wash Clothes (Monk's Robe & Boots) in rivers, streams and pools regularly, and let them dry out.
12. Try not to swim in Robes, except in emergencies.
13. Not going to wear armor, but nothing can be worn that just came off a fallen enemy - it will likely be bloody, dirty and damaged.  Armor and clothing that comes from chests is not likely to fit.  In order to sell such things - if possible - they must be improved at least once, or sold and purchased.  Jewelry need only be cleaned.
14. "Realistic" carry weights - More than 50 lbs means no running and no power attacks - additionally, no more than One suit of armor can be carried. One of each type of weapon: Two-Handed, One-Handed, Ranged.  No more than 4 holdout weapons like a dagger, and 50 arrows and bolts. If it wouldn't fit in a knapsack, pockets, and belt pouch, it can't be carried except in "pick-up" mode.  No more than 5 of each kind of minor item (any number of ingredients, and any number of gems - they're both a lot smaller than they appear in-game). 50 Septims to a Pound - try to keep and use gems as money.  He can carry one musical instrument of each type over and above this limit.
15. Reading takes 1 hour of waiting per page of book.  Spellbooks require 1 hour per "level" of study.
16. Morality:
1. Avoid Killing Innocents, and never strike the first blow - Whispering Fang always tries to talk his way out of a fight (he's just not very good at it).
2. Avoid Stealing - Whispering Fang never takes that which is not his to take.
3. Avoid Sexual Irresponsibility - Not a difficult rule in this game.  Whispering Fang is Celibate.
4. Avoid Lying or any hurtful speech.
5. Avoid Alcohol and drugs which diminish clarity of consciousness.
6. Avoid Frivolous entertainments - Whispering Fang isn't very good at this. He likes the bards of Skyrim, and even seeks to become one.
7. Avoid Self-Adornment - no jewelry that does not serve a specific purpose.
8. Always Seek to improve the lives of those around you.
17. No saving, except to quit the game.  Only Autosaves.
