The Origin of Reddavepirate... Why Red Dave Pirate? Because I am old enough to have used the Griffin Three Pirate stories to learn to read: http://www.tvcream.co.uk/?p=14370 and when I started out as a trade union officer, colleagues called me Red Dave. When I posted my scores on my PC's solitaire game, 'reddave' didn't seem right, so I suppose I subliminally gravitated towards 'reddavepirate'.

Obviously, when I got into Morrowind and started looking backwards, there was REDguard, an elder scrolls PIRATE type adventure! :) No Dave though...

Why Elder Scrolls? Good question. Although I was never interested in Dungeons and Dragons etc, I did read Lord of the Rings when I was thirteen and absolutely loved it. Created a big display at School about it. Then, in 1999, I was looking for a game to play on my PC and came across Might and Magic VII. My wife and I were both hooked (she even more than me and still plays MMVI; MMVII and MMVIII regularly). After MMIX, I admit I was disappointed. Loved the storyline, but the graphics were a little faded. Came across Morrowind GOTY edition in a bargain bin and was hooked again. Oblivion was really amazing for me. Looking forward to Skyrim!

Why UESPWiki? I've used it so many times to delve deeper into the story; to understand the background of some of the recurrent characters and themes and to get myself out of trouble with the help of obviously smarter people!!!! ;) Felt I ought to add my milli-help.

Modding? I am VERY interested in learning how to mod and creating perhaps with Skyrim some Asgardian mod based on the Marvel version of Thor that I grew up with.

What do I do now? I am a negotiator and mediator by trade, currently managing a team of professionals handling equality issues for a University. Basically, I like seeing people get out the other end of problems.
